$BTC holds steady at 86,000 U; the market is indeed starting to change.

It’s no longer just one big meme coin moving up on its own. Coins like $ZEC and several other smaller clones have begun to stir continuously, and capital has started to spill over into higher-beta assets.

But the question is:

Has the whole “clone season” really arrived?

I think it’s still too early.

What we’re seeing now is more like a structural clone-market行情, not a broad-based, all-surge uptrend.

A small number of strong coins have started to run, but most clone coins still haven’t shown clear performance. In other words, funds are indeed spreading from BTC into clones, but it’s nowhere near the stage where “you can buy blindly and it will go up.”

The biggest change this round may be this:

Back then it was all boats rise; now capital only recognizes the strong.

Coins that have liquidity, narratives, an ecosystem, and capital consensus are more likely to become rotation targets. For the random trash coins nobody’s paying attention to, even if the overall market keeps rising, they may not be able to keep up.

So don’t rush to go all-in on clone coins.

Clone coins getting restless ≠ clone season fully kicking off.

What’s truly worth watching is whether capital can move from a few top “leaders,” further spreading into more mainstream coins and mid-/small-cap coins.

If that step happens, then that’s the real signal of clone season.👀
