$ETH This BTC move has already strengthened ahead of schedule. Funds have clearly flowed first into the leading asset, while the second coin (ETH) is currently relatively lagging, which instead gives an opportunity for a subsequent catch-up rally. Historically, when the market enters a strong phase, BTC often starts first, and then funds rotate into ETH and other major coins.
Now, ETH not following BTC with a big jump doesn’t mean there’s no opportunity—it’s more like it’s building up energy. As long as market sentiment continues to recover and funds overflow from BTC, ETH can easily see a catch-up rally.
In simple terms:
BTC opens up the space, and ETH is responsible for the follow-up catch-up rally.
Chasing BTC at this point increases risk; you can instead focus on ETH’s low-position opportunities and wait for funds rotation to catch a round of the catch-up rally.
However, for the short term, you still need to pay attention to position sizing—don’t blindly go all-in. Waiting to add positions after the breakout is confirmed is safer.
