It's been ages since we've seen a strong and long lasting narrative in the market.
It has been $BTC, AI & Memes this cycle and that's pretty much it.
Once you see the first signs of a new strong narrative surfacing, make sure not to wait too long reading into it and researching coins.
Some "real" sectors that I think will make a strong comeback this cycle:
RWA - So much institutional interest and very few projects to choose from. Not as diluted as other sectors.
BTCfi - Saw a strong run in 2023 but has since cooled off. Do think there's a lot of opportunities there especially seeing how much BTC has been in the spotlight and the current BTC Dominance levels.
Also still generally bullish on Gaming/Metaverse/SocialFi. But I do recognize the market might not be ready for this in its current state and these are more peak euphoria kinda narratives which will come pretty late.
