🧩 What does "decoupling from BTC" mean?
This is when an altcoin (any cryptocurrency other than BTC) stops mirroring the Bitcoin chart and begins to move independently, based on its own reasons — news, demand, pump, etc.
🔗 Usually, coins are "tied" to BTC
BTC rises → all coins rise.
BTC falls → everything crumbles.
This is called high correlation (0.8–1.0).
Example: BTC fell by 5% — SOL, AVAX, PEPE also fall.
✂️ But when a coin decouples:
BTC stays in place or even falls, while the coin rises!
This means it has its own pump, demand, news, or interest from whales.
This is rare and always a strong signal.
Examples:
DOGE can shoot up when Elon Musk tweets — even if BTC is falling.
AUCTION, MASK — recent examples of pump during BTC consolidation.
🔥 Why this is important
You can profit from a pump, even if the market is sluggish.
This is a sign of strength — the coin is ready to fly before others.
Such coins are the first to give X2–X5 when the market revives.
📊 How to identify decoupling
The coin's chart goes up, while BTC goes sideways or down.
Sharp increase in volume.
News or announcements have come out.
The coin has started to be actively discussed on Twitter, Telegram, Binance Square, etc.
