Here’s what frustrates a lot of people: BTC rises and my altcoins don’t move; then altcoins take off and I’m not
on board. In fact, altcoin rotations tend to follow a general script.
【The Classic Sequence】BTC moves first (drawing attention) → funds spill over into ETH and other major coins →
Then it spreads to sector leaders → eventually sweeping into all kinds of obscure small-cap coins → the whole market overheats as everything rallies, and the market
is nearing its end. You always feel like your coin is the last to rise, because you often buy right at the end of the rotation
chain.
【Two Useful Things to Watch】1. A decline in BTC dominance (BTC.D) usually means funds are flowing into altcoins,
One sign that altseason is starting; 2. When altcoins rise across the board while BTC stalls, it often means the market is nearing its end
—a signal that chasing lesser-known coins at this point carries the highest risk of being left holding the bag.
[Conclusion] Rotation isn’t egalitarian, and not every altcoin will rise. Only those with a narrative, genuine
circulating supply, and a strong position in their sector get their turn. Instead of guessing which coin will 100x, keep a close eye on where the money
is now and where it might go next.
