BTC moves as an entry for SOL/XRP/ETH

FALLEN   Fallen — broke its own criteria; kept on purpose

Hypothesis and result

SOL, XRP and ETH move the same way as BTC on 80–95% of days, in every session window. But when BTC has first crossed ±0.3/0.5/1% since 00:00 UTC, the altcoin has already moved 1.5–2× as much, and the rest of the day sits at or below baseline. 27 tests, none survive.

BTC is the market's direction — it does not announce it ahead of the altcoins.
