I’ve talked about the rhythms of the crypto market before—let’s revisit them today. During a crypto market uptrend: Some altcoins rise before Bitcoin, most rise alongside Bitcoin, and others lag behind Bitcoin; The coins that rise first are typically only accessible for early positioning—if you miss that window, you’ve missed it. Treat them as a signal; The coins that lag behind Bitcoin can serve two purposes: 1) as opportunities to catch up, and 2) as potential signals that the cycle is nearing its end—if even these coins have risen, the entire cycle may be nearing completion. Identifying the leading and lagging coins you can access is one way to understand the rhythm of a market cycle.
