Late December is bringing a relatively mixed sentiment to the crypto market, with some excitement on the surface but not much real follow-through. Bitcoin is still being restrained, trading just above $88,000 after a short-lived push to $90,000 and a sudden pullback right after. Investors seem to be less focused on straight-line upside and more on positioning, liquidity, and risk control instead.<\/p>\n
However, here\u2019s a key factor that traders tend to underestimate: consolidations often bring higher correlation to the sector. When BTC moves, most liquid alts tend to move with it, both up and down.<\/p>\n
So, where do you look if you want something that does not trade tick-for-tick with large-cap cryptos? One increasingly popular answer is non-correlated altcoins \u2013 especially presales, where pricing is mechanically staged until listing, giving investors both profit potential and a non-correlated investment vehicle.<\/p>\n
