1. Market Overview:
A. Will Altcoins Rally?
BTC just broke ATHs—and OTHERS dominance is creeping up, hinting at a risk-on altcoin shift.
But BTC open interest still dominates. The last cycle peak came when OTHERS' OI flipped BTC’s (Dec 8). That’s your scale-out signal.

B. Gold Sideways, Beta Metals Up:
Gold is flat—but liquidity is rotating into silver and platinum, both hitting multi-decade highs and outperforming YTD.
The drivers? Soaring industrial demand, supply deficits, and mining disruptions are squeezing prices as investors chase torque down the metals curve.
C. Buy High, Sell Higher:
Worried about buying at ATHs? History says don’t be—SPX returns post-ATH have outperformed over 1–5 years.
With rate cuts looming, macro supports the breakout. ATHs aren’t a ceiling—they’re often the launchpad.
