$BTC EXPLOSIVE MOVE but $ASTER is the real story.
While panic hit the market during the Feb 5–6 dip, $ASTER showed serious relative strength against $BTC. Most alts bled hard with Bitcoin… ASTER didn’t.
Why?
It had already gone through a brutal downtrend before the breakdown. Less excess, less forced selling, less damage when the market cracked.
Even at the $0.40 ATL, the ASTER/BTC pair held above its prior January–February lows.
That’s a key tell.
When an asset falls slower than Bitcoin during stress → that’s underlying strength.
Fast forward 10 days:
A simple Long ASTER / Short BTC rotation is up ~60% — no leverage needed.
This is what positioning looks like.
Not chasing 5–10x.
Not panic trading.
Just understanding relative strength.
Now the real question:
Is this sustained outperformance beginning… or just a tactical rotation before the next shift?
Stay sharp. Stay selective.
