With regard to my Twitter post.

After a tense week, it’s safe to say the market loaded up on hedges (bought puts).
When traders buy puts, market makers (MMs) take the other side of the trade, meaning they’re short those puts. To hedge, they sell futures contracts to offset the delta exposure. Since most of these puts are out of the money, their delta naturally declines as expiration nears. As a result, MMs adjust their hedges by buying back futures, adding upward pressure to the market.
So there are some supportive flows leading into OpEx (February 21st / 3rd Friday of every month for monthlies)

Out of 84 coins above, only $SOL, $HYPE, $JUP, $RAY, $FAI managed to outperform BTC Year-To-Date. About 6% of alts, with 2 of them being majors. Asset selection is incredibly difficult, and sectors that suffer the worst drawdown turns out ot be AI coins, Framework coins -74.55% on average, Agent coins -50.81% on average

Also it's not that difficult to "outperform", you simply just need to not lose money. In a sense, sidelined capital who have yet to deploy capital in 2025 most likely outperformed 99% of participants holding altcoins.
avoid the mistakes you made in last year’s summer chop and try not to force trades
difference is
you could still be redeemed last year because it wasn’t late bull, but now your chances of redemption is much lower
play defense until the winds are favourable
it’s not over but you must survive long enough to see it happen

Mr Tan said he invested US$2,800 in memecoins, split between the Brett and Wolf coins, which he felt were well-marketed.
At the time of this interview, his portfolio was valued at around US$1,800.
“In December, it did really well and went up to around US$8,000, but I didn’t sell anything. So here I am, but it’s okay,” he said.
