When every major coin closes green and half the board's up 30-50% in seven days, you've got to ask: are we entering a proper bull leg or just riding a sharp relief bounce that'll cool off just as fast?
Here's the 7D rundown:
$XRP +58%
$HYPE +42%
$BCH +37%
$XLM +33%
$DOGE +32%
$ADA +30%
$ETH +29%
$LINK +26%
$SOL +25%
$BTC +23%
$XMR +7%
$LEO +7%
$TRX +4%
$XRP's the standout — up nearly 60% in a week. That's not normal. $HYPE and $BCH aren't far behind. Even the majors joined in: $BTC up 22%, $ETH nearly 30%. This wasn't just an altcoin pump. It was market-wide risk-on.
Only $TRX and $LEO lagged with single digits, but they still closed green.
So where are we in the cycle? If this is mid-cycle rotation into alts, it makes sense. $BTC leads, then capital flows out the risk curve. That's textbook. But if this is late-cycle euphoria, these moves can reverse just as fast.
Right now, the read is: rotate accordingly. If $BTC holds and consolidates here, alts can run further. If $BTC rolls over, this was a relief rally and you take profits. Don't get married to the move.
Watch $BTC dominance. If it's dropping while $BTC holds or grinds higher, that's your signal alts have room. If dominance bounces and $BTC stalls, rotate back.
This is the kind of week where positioning matters more than conviction. Stay flexible.
