Rotations often begin with liquidity accumulation in majors (BTC/ETH) during risk-off, then switch into alts when risk appetite returns. Early rotation signs include rising altcoin breadth, increasing small-cap open interest, and falling dominance of majors. Alts typically show higher volatility and beta; successful rotation requires cross-chain liquidity movement and developer activity. Rotations are frequently momentum-driven and can be shallow if macro conditions deteriorate. Watch breadth indicators, futures basis across cap tiers, and stablecoin deployment across DEXs to detect genuine rotation. Caution: isolated alt rallies without breadth usually precede reversion.
