😏📉 Alpha vs Attention: The Psychology of Crypto Hype and How to Trade Against It

“When they scream, I snipe. When they FOMO, I float.” 💅

🔹In crypto, attention is currency but alpha? That’s power. Most traders chase what's loud. You? You stalk what’s undervalued. Let’s break the mindset:

🔊 The Hype Cycle Trap

🔹A coin trends → CT screams → candles pump

🔹Retail FOMOs in late, smart money exits quietly

🔹Result: You're exit liquidity… unless you front-run the frenzy 😏

🔍 The Alpha Angle

🔹Real traders fade extreme hype

🔹Look for high volume with low engagement

🔹Use social sentiment tools to find divergence between narrative vs reality

🛠️ Tools to Beat the Noise

🔹Lurk in low engagement, high dev activity tokens

🔹Volume spikes without Twitter hype = sniper alert
🔹Track pre narrative sectors: DePIN, AI infra, L2 tools, modular

💘 Alpha Tip:

🔹When the crowd screams, ask: is this pump backed by progress, or by posts? Train your trigger finger on confirmation, not conversation.
