The Money Flow Behind Every Crypto Pump
Crypto doesn’t move on hype alone. Every pump starts with liquidity rotation — money quietly shifting from safety to risk.
It almost always begins with Bitcoin. New capital enters where liquidity is deepest and volatility is controlled. BTC absorbs money first while the rest of the market feels slow and boring.
Once confidence builds, liquidity flows into Ethereum. Investors look for higher returns without taking extreme risk. ETH usually moves after BTC, not before.
As momentum grows, capital rotates into large-cap alts. Risk appetite expands, BTC dominance fades, and performance starts to matter more than safety.
The final phase is emotional. Liquidity spills into small caps and memecoins. Fundamentals stop mattering, speed takes over, and social media turns euphoric. This is where cycles usually peak.
Memecoins don’t start bull runs — they often end them. When they pump hard, liquidity is already late-stage.
Then the reset comes. Money exits memes first, flows back to large caps, stables, and eventually Bitcoin. Fear replaces greed.
Smart traders don’t chase pumps.
They follow liquidity, not noise.
Liquidity is the trend.
Price just reacts to it.
