A scenario where BTC trends upward while ETH and most altcoins trade sideways would reshape allocation strategies. In such a market, dominance rises and diversification becomes less effective. Portfolio weight might lean toward BTC until structural rotation appears. However, periods of BTC outperformance are often followed by delayed catch-ups in ETH and top-tier altcoins. The challenge is timing. Staying fully concentrated risks missing the rotation; spreading too early drains returns. Adaptive allocation — increasing beta exposure when rotation signals emerge — may be best. Patience and selective positioning matter more than wide coverage.

During large-scale hack events, cross-asset betas (BTC-ETH-ALT) spike toward one, reflecting systemic deleveraging. Correlation matrices flatten as investors unwind leverage indiscriminately. Intraday analysis shows beta convergence within minutes of headline release, with BTC absorbing primary liquidity shocks. Smaller alts often underperform disproportionately due to weaker depth. Systematic deleverage also drives perpetual funding rates negative across assets. These stress correlations persist for 24–48 hours, after which dispersion re-emerges. Monitoring rolling betas with 5-minute granularity provides visibility into when systemic risk peaks during such shocks.
