What’s more worth watching in mid-day “shanzhai” coins is the quality of capital diffusion, not a coin’s momentary spike. BTC still occupies the core of market pricing. ETH hasn’t clearly taken the lead yet, which suggests risk appetite has recovered, but it hasn’t entered a fully spillover phase. If sectors like AI, DePIN, or L2 show unusual activity, focus on whether trading volume remains sustained and whether the leading names can drive the whole sector, rather than just social-media buzz. Small-cap tokens tend to have larger volatility and slippage—keep position sizing substantially lower than for major coins, and set clear exit conditions before participating.
