Overview
We're seeing some big differences in asset performance right now. SNX is under pressure, while Popcat is showing strong momentum. So, the big question is: Should you move your capital into the stronger asset? Let's get into it and break down what you should be looking at to make the best decision.
Asset context
It's all about recognizing where we are in the market cycle. SNX has been forming lower lows-clear bearish signals. Meanwhile, Popcat has been on the up, setting higher highs and higher lows. The evidence is right there. When you see an asset like Popcat outperforming, it's worth considering whether to rotate out of something that's lagging, like SNX.
Disclaimer: This is not financial or investment advice. You are responsible for any capital-related decisions you make, and only you are accountable for the results.
Focus on risk vs. reward
Exiting at a loss isn't something anyone enjoys, but holding onto an asset that's not moving could be holding you back. In this case, PopCat has clear strength, and there's still plenty of upside potential. Holding out for SNX to recover might take a while, and even then, it's not guaranteed. Moving capital to a stronger performer means you're putting yourself in a position for better returns now, instead of waiting and hoping for a turnaround.
Key metrics to watch
- Trend Strength: Look at which assets are consistently making higher highs and higher lows.
- Market Sentiment: Assets in the same class often share the same market sentiment. Pay attention to how the market is reacting and what it tells you about strength - are they holding key support? Is demand still showing?
- Analysis : Rely on technical, sentiment and price predictions to help with your rotation decisions, allot of these are clear as day, some charts are going up, some charts are going down.
Playbook & action plan
Assess Your Portfolio: Review your current positions. Are you holding assets that are showing weakness compared to others? Move Capital to Strength: Look at assets like Popcat with strong upward momentum and consider reallocating from those underperforming (like SNX). Understand strength in structure: Pay attention to higher highs, higher lows, and other technical signals of strength. Remove Emotion: Don't hold on to underperforming positions out of attachment. The goal is to be in the strongest possible assets, even if that means cutting losses. Stay Aligned and focused: Keep monitoring the market and be ready to adjust your positions as the market evolves.
Cryptonary's take
In the current market, rotating your capital into stronger assets is key, and it shows a winner's mindset, even though it can be tough and uncomfortable to do. SNX is showing weakness with lower lows, while Popcat is trending up with higher highs and strong momentum.
I used Popcat in the piece brother because you mentioned it in the question, and looking at strength the way we do, it shows the most. But I tried to educate here as well to give guidance on what we use to identify strength, in case there are other assets you and we like that you want to have a look at. It doesn't have to be Popcat; it can be any strong asset. I hope this helps, and the video is attached where things are explained better.
