Every time BTC or ETH makes a strong move mid-cycle, the comments section is always flooded with familiar questions:
“Will I get stuck if I enter now?” “Is it better to wait for a correction before entering?” “Should I take profits first just to be safe?”
This mix of hesitation + fear + FOMO is the psychological goldmine that the main players have been exploiting for years.
And the funny thing is: nobody wants to believe this simple truth.
⭐ Why Do the Main Players Always Pump BTC and ETH First?
Many people wonder: “Why don’t they pump small coins first since it’s easier?”
Wrong!
BTC and ETH are the market’s signal flares. As soon as BTC breaks its previous high or ETH jumps 7–10% in a day, the entire market instantly gets excited.
Just look:
Everyone in group chats starts spamming “bullrun is here!” Newbies who just got paid immediately open their apps looking to buy People who left DeFi or NFTs come back to spot trading All of this creates a frenzy of discussion
This is the “emotional heating technique”—an age-old trick that the main players haven’t changed in 5 years.
They don’t need to advertise.
Just one strong move from BTC and ETH, and the market heats up on its own.
⭐ Where Is the Real “Money-Making” Opportunity?
It’s before everyone starts shouting.
Notice:
When total market volume surges for 3 consecutive days When everyone on Twitter is talking about altcoins When the fruit vendor asks “which coin should I buy for profit?”
That’s when BTC stalls, ETH goes sideways, and the main players quietly shift to:
strong tech projects, tokens with low liquidity, coins in hot trends (AI, RWA, Gaming, Modular…), upcoming mainnet launches or projects with events.
This is the mini altseason stage, where the market shifts from “heating up” to “starting to swallow money.”
This is where the real gains are made.
But unfortunately…
❗ 80% of You Do the Opposite
When the market is at its best, most people still:
worry when BTC goes up another 0.5%, wait for a “perfect” correction (that never comes), see an altcoin up 15% and say “I’ll enter after it retests.”
The result?
The price does retest… but not to the point you hoped Altcoins run another 40% And you officially become the “ammo supplier” for others
In a bullrun, hesitation = lost opportunity, slow reaction = bagholder.
A pullback only holds you back for a week. Hesitation can make you miss the whole x2 x3 x5 cycle.
Remember the chain game wave last year?
At 0.5 – everyone was scared.
Result: four straight 20% green candles.
By the time the trend was clear and you jumped in… it was the exact top.
⭐ Where Is the Market Now?
Right at the intersection between:
The “warming up” stage ↔ The “breakout” stage
Not hot enough for everyone to all-in But enough signals for alts to start attracting capital BTC – ETH are doing their job of “emotional noise-making” every day Meanwhile, midcap coins and new narrative projects are quietly building up strength
It’s exactly like the months before altseason in previous cycles.
This is the time:
Those who are ready win big. Those who are slow stand on the sidelines.
⭐ How Not to Get Manipulated by the Main Players
Don’t check BTC every 5 minutes—watch where the real capital is flowing. Focus on strong trends (AI, RWA, Meme infrastructure, Modular…). Observe altcoin price structure—when BTC goes sideways but alts rise, that’s your signal. Prepare a list of 5–10 coins with solid fundamentals + catalysts. Don’t chase the perfect entry—bullruns reward the decisive.
⭐ What Will I Do for You From Today?
From this stage on, I will:
update a list of potential alts daily, analyze capital flow & unusual movements, point out key timing before the main players push, help you avoid falling into the market’s “emotional PUA” traps.
Follow me—so this bullrun you’ll no longer be led by the market. Make gains with the main players, don’t be a victim getting collected.
