📊 What is a Lag Rally in Crypto?
A lag rally happens when altcoins (like ETH, SOL, etc.) pump after Bitcoin (BTC) makes a strong move.
This lag is due to market capital flowing first into BTC (safer bet), then rotating later into alts as confidence grows.
⚙️ Why Does This Happen?
🧠 Smart money enters BTC first to test market strength.
📉 Alts stay flat or consolidate — creating "lag."
🔁 Once BTC holds or slows down, capital shifts into alts.
📈 Suddenly, ETH and other coins explode upward, catching latecomers off guard.
🕰️ When Has It Happened Before?
July 2021 – BTC rallied from $30k → $40k, ETH followed 3–4 days later.
January 2023 – BTC broke resistance, ETH & SOL followed with 2x moves days later.
Current Setup? BTC just pumped, ETH is lagging… Watch closely.
✅ What Should You Do?
If ETH is lagging but structure is bullish → Prepare to buy.
Look for:
Break of Structure (BOS)
Liquidity sweeps
Volume uptick
Don’t FOMO — Wait for confirmation!
🧠 Pro Tip:
"Altcoins don’t lead—they follow.
Catching a lag rally is about timing and patience."
📍BTC already moved.
📍ETH is hesitating.
🎯 Is this just a pause — or the calm before the breakout?
