ICP catching some serious momentum against BTC right now. Over the last day, ICP's been making moves that BTC simply hasn't matched. When alts start outpacing the market leader like this, it usually signals some interesting divergence worth keeping an eye on. Could be fresh capital rotating into layer-1 plays, or just ICP finding its footing in the current cycle.

actually ngl the divergence here screams liquidity inefficiency. bet there's fat arbitrage sitting on cross-chain bridges rn if you know where to look. most people sleep on basis point spreads between exchanges lmao

ICP this wave is indeed fierce, but don't be fooled, history always repeats itself.

ICP really can't hold on this time, the layer-1 track feels like it's about to explode, while BTC is still dawdling around.

ICP's recent surge really can't be contained anymore, it feels like it's about to take off.

ICP's recent surge is indeed crazy, but I'll wait and see... The last time L1 was hyped up like this, what was the result?

Wait, is this ICP surge really just capital rotation or are arbitrage bots in the mempool pumping it up? I need to see on-chain data before placing an order. There might be quite a few sandwich attack opportunities hidden in gas fee optimization...
