The four kings of Ethereum Layer 2: ARB has already made its move, STRK is next, followed by OP and ZK—let’s see which one takes the baton. It’s just rotation within the same sector.

There are plenty more in the ARB~STRK~OP~ZK group, plus small-cap LINEA and others. Just sort them by market cap to see who’s leading. CTSI was a Binance ICO, so it may be worth keeping an eye on.

There are only a handful of large caps making big moves this cycle. It’s the same few names over and over: NEAR, SUI, WLD, ZEC, TAO, HYPE, NUI, AERO, PUMP, QNT, ENA, AAVE, LTC, AVAX, and so on.

It’s even simpler if you group them by sector. You can see at a glance which coins are related and understand what’s rising or falling. That way, you can trade with a clear plan and have a rationale for your gains and losses.

Layer 1 sector: SOL, SUI, NEAR, APT, HYPE, AVAX. These are relatively hot right now—match them to the relevant category and look for connections.

AI sector: WLD, TAO, NEAR, FET, VVV, VIRTULA. Ignore the other small caps.

DEX sector: UNI, HYPE, ASTER, AERO. You can ignore the other small caps.

Lending sector: AAVE, MORPHO

Gaming sector: SAND, GALA, MANA, APE, AXS. Ignore the other small caps.

NFT sector: BLUR, ME, TNSR. Ignore the rest.

Oracle sector: LINK, PYTH, and small caps API3, UMA, TRB. Ignore the rest.

Cross-chain sector: W, ZRO, RUNE, AXL, ATOM, DOT, and countless small caps…

RWA sector: CFG, PLUME, ONDO. You can ignore the rest.

POW mining coins: LTC, ETC, ZEC, DASH, BTC. Litecoin’s halving is next year, so keep a closer eye on it.

This list isn’t comprehensive. Here’s a useful trick for tracking connections: make your own categories and jot them down in a notebook. When the market takes off, you’ll at least know where to look.

Crypto moves fast, especially for altcoins. If you can’t catch the leader when a sector heats up, can’t you at least catch the runner-up or a related coin?

Also, if you want to trade altcoin trends, focus on just one indicator: MA180. Other indicators are only suitable for short-term trading, while MA180 can tell you which assets still have 50% upside.

That’s all for today. I’ll write more when I have time. This is just for your reference—to help you avoid detours and pitfalls. Let’s keep learning together!
