Exactly 40 years after Black Monday, the whole market spent the weekend pricing in another crash. Monday came. Almost nothing happened. That gap; between how scared everyone is and what actually happened, is the thing worth paying attention to right now. In my new video I break down why this correction is normal, and the four narratives I think decide where altcoins go next. What I cover: – Why the Black Monday panic and rallying oil prices rattled markets, and why #Bitcoin is simply correcting inside a bull market, not topping – Why the bullish divergence that called the bottom says these dips are normal, not the start of another bear – The four narratives I'm watching this cycle: AI × crypto, the agentic economy, the Ethereum ecosystem, and real-world assets – Why you don't need the holy grail, a handful of the right themes beats chasing every single coin – How I read which narratives have momentum right now and which are still waiting their turnView original on X ↗
