Midday Watch on Imitation Coins: There is a clear split among the mainstream altcoins. Currently, relatively strong are AVAX +0.21%, BNB +0.01%, and LINK -0.18%; weaker ones include XRP -1.18% and DOGE -1.38%. In this kind of market, don’t just look at the gainers/losers list—focus on two things: whether there is supporting trading volume, and whether it is outperforming BTC/ETH. Only when strong coins pull back and hold/absorb well are they worth tracking; coins that simply pump up quickly without volume are more like emotion-driven pulses, so keep your position light.
