Markets don't wait for the fundamentals to catch up. Price movements often lead the way, breaking ground ahead of the underlying factors that justify them. By the time on-chain metrics, adoption data, or project developments hit the headlines, savvy traders have already positioned themselves. The chart moves first—the narrative follows. Understanding this dynamic is crucial: chasing green candles without fundamentals backing is risky, but ignoring price action until everything looks perfect on paper? That's leaving money on the table. The real edge lies in spotting when price discovers something the market hasn't fully priced in yet.

Price leads, fundamentals follow; I've heard this logic too many times... The problem is that most people can't catch that "discovery" moment at all, and end up being the ones to buy the dip last.

ngl That's why I'm always a step behind... by the time I see the news, it's already too late.

Nah, that's why I always make money in front of the charts; fundamentals can never keep up.

price action leading fundamentals? nah, red flags detected here. seen this narrative justify too many rug pulls before the metrics caught up. DYOR but the real exploit is when devs pump before delivery.

Prices move first, stories follow; I know this set well. The key is not to follow the trend blindly or wait for perfect fundamentals—by then, there's no more profit to be made.
