📊 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?
