"Bitcoin sucks liquidity" (Bitcoin Sucking Liquidity) circulation of liquidity is not always in sync across all altcoins.
1️⃣ BTC absorbs capital → major altcoins are withdrawn • SOL, ETH, ICP, AVAX = large-cap altcoins • When BTC leads → funds are pulled from this group first → so you see them in red
2️⃣ Small/mid-cap altcoins = the playground of MM • Strong green coins like (FIS, SOMI, ZEC, BAT, VOXEL…) are: • Small market cap • Less attention • Easier to manipulate → MM orchestrates their own waves • Can be pumped without BTC pump
3️⃣ Short-term news & narratives • Some coins have: • Unlock news completed • Staking / incentive news • Listing / game / fan token news → going against the market is normal
4️⃣ Current market = very strong polarization • No more “BTC up → all altcoins up” • Instead: BTC moves in one wave Large-cap altcoins withstand the storm Small-cap altcoins are selectively pumped
This is not a market for “holding altcoins and waiting for the overall wave” 👉 but a market hunting for individual waves, highly selective
Alt season is not here yet. Now is BTC season + market maker's game.
