The uptrend season in the cryptocurrency market always brings excitement, but also not a little feeling of “FOMO” (Fear of Missing Out) when seeing other coins rise more strongly than what you are holding. This often happens for specific reasons. Let's analyze! 👇

1. Money Flow Cycle

• During the uptrend season, cash flows often rotate through different coin groups:

1️⃣ Bitcoin (BTC): The first coin to attract cash flow, as it is considered the safest asset.

2️⃣ Ethereum (ETH) and large altcoins: When BTC rises sharply, cash flow shifts to large-cap coins.

3️⃣ Medium and small-cap altcoins: Eventually, new cash flows enter smaller coins.

➡️ If you are holding small-cap coins, you may need to wait until the end of the cycle to see strong growth.

2. Market Sentiment

• “Hot” coins often attract significant attention thanks to media, influencers, or important news (partnerships, project updates…).

• Meanwhile, the coin you hold may not have enough news momentum to attract cash flow, leading to slower price increases.

➡️ Advice: Closely monitor information about your project. Positive news can change the growth rate at any time.

3. Project growth potential

• Infrastructure and real-world application: Projects with outstanding technology or practical applications often increase more strongly because investors believe in long-term value.

• “Pump & dump” coins: Some coins surge only due to short-term price pumping strategies, but their actual potential is not high.

➡️ Advice: Focus on projects with real value, instead of chasing temporary price pump trends.

4. Liquidity and market capitalization

• The coin you own may have low capitalization or poor liquidity, causing its value to increase more slowly.

• Conversely, large coins often attract institutional investors, leading to stronger price increases thanks to large cash flows.

➡️ Advice: Check liquidity and capitalization before investing. This helps you assess the potential for price increase during the uptrend season.

5. Whale strategy 🐋

• Whales (large investors) can pump the price significantly for some coins to attract attention, while other coins are overlooked.

• When cash flows into “pump” coins, the coin you hold may not receive the same attention.

➡️ Advice: Be patient and don’t chase short-term “pumps.”

6. FOMO and false expectations

• The “grass is greener on the other side” mentality causes many to sell the coins they are holding to switch to those that are rising sharply.

• But when you do this, there is a high chance that the coin you just sold will increase sharply right after.

➡️ Advice: Stay firm in your beliefs and strategy, rather than chasing emotions.

Conclusion:

Not all coins increase in value at the same time during the uptrend season. Growth depends on the cash flow cycle, market sentiment, and the actual value of the project. Instead of comparing or panicking, let's:

✅ Focus on researching the projects you are investing in.

✅ Maintain discipline and patience with your investment strategy.

✅ Diversify your portfolio to reduce risk.
