Recently, the performance of altcoins has shown some signs of movement, but this upward trend is not a widespread phenomenon—only some coins outperformed the market, while the overall market still exhibits a volatile trend. This divergence actually reflects a key phenomenon: during previous sharp corrections, major funds quietly or actively accumulated a large amount of chips, reaching a concentration level that can drive the market.
Once the chips are sufficiently concentrated, the conditions for a rally are also ripe. In contrast, although mainstream coins lack this short-term rapid rise, their large market capitalization and relatively stable retail investor confidence mean that their price fluctuations are more fundamentally supported. The divergence in the trends of these two asset types essentially reflects differences in fund structures and the confidence composition of market participants.

Haha, isn't this the scene I waited for three years ago? The old script of the main players accumulating positions is playing out again. Seeing those differentiated coins reminds me of the days I was trapped before. But now I understand, this is called "strategic loss."

The main force is quietly accumulating chips during the consolidation phase, while we retail investors just watch the decline. If I had known earlier, I would have gone all-in on those small coins.

The main players are quietly accumulating chips, while retail investors are still debating whether to buy or not. This is the gap.

Hmm... Here comes the talk about concentrated chips again. Are the main players really that smart? I feel like they're just throwing a tantrum.
