DeFi Strategies • Yield Models • Token Income
cycle launch indicators
Market Ignition Signals are identifiable triggers or convergence points that mark the beginning of a broad market rally, asset class surge, or altseason wave. These signals indicate that latent capital, suppressed volatility, or macro alignment has reached a critical threshold, initiating widespread movement. They often combine technical breakouts, volume spikes, liquidity inflows, dominance shifts, or energetic events such as eclipses, halving proximity, or numerological timing. Recognizing these signs early allows traders to secure positioning before exponential acceleration begins.
Use Case: Bitcoin dominance rolls over while ETH breaks a multiyear resistance level. That same week, new yield strategies go live across multiple L1 ecosystems—triggering inflows, altcoin breakouts, and the clearest ignition signal for the next rotation wave.
Key Concepts:
- Volatility Break — Compression zones explode into trend as suppressed energy releases
- Liquidity Activation — Fresh stablecoin inflows, bridge surges, and DeFi reawakening
- Dominance Divergence — BTC dominance drops as capital flows into alts or ETH
- Confluence Trigger — Timing windows, narrative shifts, and macro easing line up together
- Expansion Trigger — The event that initiates rapid price movement
- Cycle Thrust Point — The moment where sentiment flips and momentum explodes
- Capital Rotation — The cyclical movement of capital between asset classes
- Liquidity Pivot — The moment capital begins flowing into new sectors
- Bitcoin Dominance — Key metric for tracking rotation timing
- Capital Launch Zones — Optimal windows for initiating new positions
Summary: Market Ignition Signals reveal when the spark has hit dry ground—when price, liquidity, emotion, and narrative converge to kick off a new cycle. These moments often create the highest asymmetry for early rotation plays and set the tone for capital movement into broader sectors, including eventual off-ramps into real-world asset positions.
Capital Rotation Map
sequenced liquidity flow model
The Capital Rotation Map charts how capital moves through crypto ecosystems from safety to speculation—and eventually into hard assets. Ignition signals often spark Phase 1, where capital enters via BTC and stablecoins. From there, it flows into ETH, large-cap alts, and yield-generating mid-caps before peaking in high-risk sectors like memecoins. The final phase occurs when smart money exits into $KAG, $KAU, silver, gold, and real estate tokens—hedging against collapse and preserving gains in tangible, real-world value.
