BTC rallies again, continuing its upward push after the release of PPI data. The Bitcoin Dominance Index (BTC.D) also rose slightly. However, most altcoins performed relatively weakly, with XMR being the only standout — breaking through the $800 mark, with a market cap approaching $15 billion, nearly flipping Cardano in rank.

Such strong performance by a single coin often triggers a chain reaction. Historically, when an altcoin performs exceptionally well, other coins tend to enter consolidation phases until the leading performer peaks before rotation occurs. The current pattern is very clear: BTC dominates the market, XMR draws attention, and the rest of the ecosystem coins wait for rotation opportunities.

BTC-2,12%

ADA-4,53%

XMR is quite aggressive this time, it seems to be threatening ADA's market share. But to be honest, privacy coins always carry risks, and exchanges can easily delist them... Who can predict the rotation in this market?

Is XMR going to surpass ADA? This is getting interesting. Privacy coins are really about to make a comeback... But wait, once Bitcoin reverses, it's hard to say how long these little brothers can hold on.

XMR is causing trouble again, almost surpassing ADA... But can this wave continue? It feels a bit risky.

XMR is looking pretty strong this wave. Just waiting for it to peak so that rotation can happen.

XMR this time is really awesome. If it breaks 800, will it crush ADA? Let's wait and see who comes next.

XMR is really aggressive this wave, breaking through $800... but it feels a bit too fast, seems like the risk is huge --- It's the old rotation routine again, BTC stabilizes the market while XMR charges forward, and other coins seem frozen right now... --- Whoa, privacy coins are taking off? XMR is about to surpass ADA... I find it hard to believe --- Wait, wait, wait, can XMR hold this round? It feels like when one coin gets hot, others have to wait, and that's the most frustrating part --- Right after PPI is released, BTC's dominance is a bit scary... Can XMR catch this wave? --- Oh my God, here we go again, strong single coins = other coins lying flat, when will we see a full rotation? --- Privacy coins suddenly come alive? XMR hits 15 billion... feels a bit fake

XMR is causing trouble again, is this really the rhythm to push out ADA? That's interesting. --- Waiting for the rotation to come, it feels like other coins have all fallen asleep. --- As long as BTC stabilizes the market, XMR can run how it wants. Anyway, I've already sold early. --- Daring to challenge ADA with a market cap of 15 billion, that’s really bold. --- It's that rotation theory again, always saying the same thing, but what’s the result? --- When PPI is released, BTC gets excited. We've seen this script many times. --- Eco-coins should keep lying low. We'll only come back to life when XMR peaks.

XMR this wave is really fierce, but I always feel that this kind of single coin breakout is prone to topping out quickly... Lessons from historical experience.
