Simple example ""
🟠 BTC rises 5% → optimism and liquidity enter the market.
🟢 Some smaller coins rise 10–20% due to speculation and leverage.
🔴 When BTC pulls back for correction, traders flee from risk first.
💥 Smaller coins have lower liquidity, so selling pressure moves their price much more.
⚠️ If they’re leveraged, liquidation of positions increases selling and accelerates the drop.
Example:
If BTC falls from 100,000 to 97,000 = -3%, a smaller coin could fall from 0.10 to 0.085 = -15%; not because the relationship is fixed, but because the small coin’s volatility, liquidity, and leverage can amplify the move.
