Noticing that some small-cap coins have become active recently. The surge of tokens like $POPCAT and $CATI is seen by many as a signal that a major market move is coming. This observation actually makes sense—small-cap coins are usually high risk but have large volatility. When they start to run independently, it often reflects a shift in market sentiment. However, whether this can truly mark the eve of a bull market depends on whether subsequent trading volume and overall market trends can keep up.

Small coin volume indeed reflects market sentiment, but I still pay more attention to the changing trend of the mining power-to-revenue ratio.

mempool's been screaming altcoin energy lately... those fee spikes when popcat pumps? *chef's kiss* predictive indicator tbh. but volume patterns tell different story if you zoom out far enough

Small-cap coins do tend to make people overthink, but can this wave really carry over to the main market? I remain skeptical.

spot the inefficiency angle here—altcaps pumping before vol expansion usually signals retail fomo, not actual alpha. need to see if liquidity depths hold or we're just watching another MEV extraction cycle tbh
