The recent rally has been solid—hot performers are moving strong. But here's what caught my attention: mid-cap tokens are lagging behind, which is kind of unusual. Makes you wonder what's really driving the market right now.

mid-caps getting left in the dust while mega caps pump? nah this tracks—liquidity concentration on cex order books is non-trivial here. empirically speaking, retail fomo always follows the same pattern. but sure, call it "unusual" lmao

It's indeed strange that mid-cap coins are falling behind; it seems like arbitrage funds are all piling into the top-tier ones.

The median coin types falling behind is indeed strange; it feels like big players are manipulating the differentiation.

Why did mid-cap underperform? It seems like Bitcoin led the charge, but small coins couldn't keep up with the pace.

Median tokens are falling behind? This indicates that big players are choosing sides, while retail investors are still chasing high-priced coins. On-chain data reveals who is really pulling the wool over everyone's eyes.
