Breadth is the key signal: positive average and median altcoin returns show the rally reached beyond a few large caps, while the Top-100 altcoin market cap slightly outperformed BTC.
The real question is not whether Bitcoin rises, but whether investors can protect gains as rates, inflation, and policy change. George’s plan treats macro signals as the exit trigger.
