Altcoin Season Always Ends Before Most Traders Arrive
Altcoin rotation does not move in straight lines. Capital flows from Bitcoin into large caps first, then mid caps, then speculative small caps, and by the time retail recognizes the pattern, the early phase is already over. What most traders miss is that the signal they are waiting for is actually the EXIT signal for smart money.
The psychological trap here is confirmation bias driven by price action. Traders need to see several green candles before they feel safe entering. That delay is structural, not accidental. Smart money tends to distribute into the exact euphoria that retail interprets as a breakout beginning.
The practical edge is in understanding the CYCLE position, not chasing momentum after it is visible to everyone. If you are reading about an altcoin season in financial headlines, liquidity is already rotating out. Enter early on structure, not on noise.
