There have been some interesting phenomena in the crypto market this week. Mainstream coins are rotating rapidly, with XMR up 33%, POL following with a 30% increase, and RENDER also gaining 26%. IP, MORPH, and others have also seen gains of less than 20%. The data is right here, and the gains are not insignificant. But if you ask me how I feel about the overall market, I’d say one word: stable.

This is the most noteworthy aspect. The market is rising, but the entire market hasn't fallen into frenzy. There’s no sense of leverage-driven hype or viral speculation. Prices are fluctuating, but market sentiment isn’t following suit; it remains particularly calm. What does this combination actually mean? It usually indicates that the market is in a pre-expansion phase, gathering strength.

Fear hasn't completely dissipated, but it’s no longer dominant. Greed isn’t rampant either. This sense of balance is especially important—it gives the trend enough room to develop without being interrupted by short-term profit-taking. Simply put, the current feeling is that the market is positioning itself, not distributing.

It’s very difficult to stay calm in a bear market, and even more so in a bull market. But the true investment logic is like this: stay calm during declines, and stay calm during rises. Altcoins are selected, not chased after. That’s a big difference.
