Just noticed altcoins are having a solid run while Bitcoin and Ether are pulling back from their weekly peaks. Interesting divergence happening here. When the big two cool off, that's usually when smaller caps get their moment to shine, and that's exactly what we're seeing today.
The ether formula seems to be shifting - instead of alts just following wherever BTC leads, there's more independent momentum building. Some solid gains across the mid-cap space while ETH consolidates. Nothing crazy, but definitely worth watching if you're looking at alt positions.
Kind of a classic pattern when you think about it. Market rotates, money flows around. BTC and Ether need their breather after pushing higher, and alts fill that gap. Could be a quick trade or the start of something bigger. Either way, the ether formula is playing out pretty textbook right now. Curious to see if this momentum sticks or if we're just seeing normal volatility.
