Are today's altcoins fresh newcomers or seasoned veterans? It's truly perplexing.

With Bitcoin so weak, why can altcoins still rally? What is the secret behind this? Are they trying to pump and dump, or is a strong player starting to accumulate?

Looking back at history, every time Bitcoin drops, altcoins occasionally experience a rebound, but this usually happens during the bull tail phase of Bitcoin. This time, Bitcoin is fluctuating at a high level, and altcoins have previously plummeted dramatically, so now they're just catching their breath. After all, with a drop of 30% at the start, most have been halved, so a slight rebound in altcoins is to be expected.

Due to the holiday, large funds have stalled, and some other funds have flowed into the altcoin market to 'avoid the storm.' After all, without other negative news impacting them, funds don't have to worry about being stuck.

One can take a short break and observe the market after the holiday, deciding whether to flow into Bitcoin or other assets. Currently, the altcoin sector seems more like a refuge for funds avoiding the holiday impact. If liquidity is low, funds will still withdraw and won't easily support the market.

In other words, altcoins have fallen too much, and now it’s just a rebound from overselling, while Bitcoin is still adjusting at a high level and may not have truly started to correct.

Now we can see some interesting phenomena: the old players in the crypto circle are becoming more mature. Information spreads faster than before; Bitcoin hasn't dropped much, yet altcoins have already jumped ahead. This shows that the market reacts more quickly and rationally.

Speaking of Ethereum, it's also an ETF; Bitcoin has already gone through a frenzy, while Ethereum is like an old man, moving only when prompted. But there's no need to rush; February might be Ethereum's turn to shine, potentially leading altcoins into another wave of excitement.

In summary:

With Bitcoin at a high and compared to the recent collective plunge of altcoins, it’s better to say that altcoins are rebounding from overselling, while Bitcoin is still brewing its next move.

In any case, the market is always changing, but staying unchanged amid change is key; remain calm and wait for opportunities.
