🔴 Understanding the CMC20 Index The CMC20 tracks the top 20 non-stablecoin crypto assets by market cap. Think of it as a crypto version of a broad market benchmark — similar to how $SPX represents U.S. equities. This index can be useful for identifying altseason rotation. The idea is simple: If the CMC20 is rising, but one coin inside the index has not moved yet, that asset may become a potential catch-up candidate. The index is reviewed quarterly. During heavy market corrections, traders often look at which assets lost weight inside the basket and which ones may be rebalanced or accumulated again. That is one reason why $ADA recently became interesting for some traders. Historically, several assets saw strong moves after gaining attention through major index rotation narratives: $SOL $LINK $AVAX $ZEC The key lesson: Altseason is not always random. Sometimes liquidity rotates first into indexed, recognized, and high-cap assets before moving deeper into smaller alts. Watch the index. Watch the laggards. That is where the next rotation may hide.
