The altcoins leading in the short term are mostly public chain and infrastructure projects. Many altcoins have detached from BTC's rhythm, creating independent trends, even a junk coin like FIL has been revived. There are two theories in the market: one is that altcoins seize the last window to save themselves and offload; the second is that the big players actively ignite the market, continuing the traditional altcoin cycle of Q4. Regardless of whether the overall market cooperates, this wave of self-redemption funds will not be absent.
This is actually a game between altcoins and BTC. Mainstream capital does not want to admit defeat, and the big players are also unwilling, so they choose to reveal their cards at this stage. BTC is exhausting, while altcoins frequently explode; a single bullish candle can break the bearish market expectations.
When independent market trends increase, it indicates that the market makers are actively creating emotions, knowing that the funds are insufficient to support the larger trend, they can only ignite local prosperity. What to be cautious of is when altcoins collectively rise, it often means that emotions are peaking, and the market is entering a phase of conclusion. Next, it is highly likely that a dual-line pattern will emerge, with BTC trading sideways and altcoins frequently experiencing volatility; it seems lively, but the end is not far off.
