In every major crypto bull market, Bitcoin leads the charge. Its dominance surges, headlines scream new all-time highs, and capital floods into the space. But here’s the part most retail investors miss:

The biggest percentage gains often come after Bitcoin tops — when capital rotates into altcoins.

We’ve seen it before:

The pattern is simple: Bitcoin sets the stage, Ethereum steps up, then capital cascades down the risk curve into large caps, mid caps, and eventually the speculative corners of the market.

If this cycle rhymes — and history suggests it will — the real opportunity isn’t just “own alts.” It’s knowing which sectors lead, when to enter, and when to rotate out.

The market doesn’t move randomly. There’s a sequence — a flow of capital — that plays out almost every time.

Phase 1 — Bitcoin Dominance Surge
BTC rips higher, outpacing everything else.
Dominance (BTC.D) climbs as money piles into the safest crypto asset.
Altcoins bleed in BTC terms.

Phase 2 — Ethereum Catches Up
ETH/BTC starts to rise.
Gas fees creep higher, L2 activity accelerates.
Narrative shifts toward “alts will follow.”

Phase 3 — Large-Cap Altcoins Run
Layer-1 leaders and DeFi blue chips attract flows.
On-chain volumes jump, TVL expands, and established names outperform.

Phase 4 — Mid Caps and Microcaps Go Parabolic
Narratives explode: AI tokens, gaming, RWAs, NFTs.
Speculation reaches full tilt — but so does volatility.

The trick? You want to be entering each bucket before the crowd — and exiting before exhaustion sets in.

2017 Leaders:
Smart contract platforms: ETH, ADA.
Privacy coins: XMR, ZEC.
These assets had real tech or strong use cases for the time — not just hype.

2021 Leaders:
DeFi fee machines: UNI, AAVE, MKR.
L1 wars: SOL, AVAX, LUNA.
Metaverse: SAND, MANA after Facebook’s “Meta” pivot.

Cycle Lesson:
Sectors with real user growth and measurable on-chain activity outperform. Hype-only plays pump faster but dump harder. Narratives connected to Ethereum’s scalability (L2s, alt L1s) often explode when gas fees spike.
