• Artificial intelligence-focused Allora led this week’s crypto gainers with a 157.5% rally, while RollX, LAB, and Humanity posted gains between 87% and 113%.

• The gains came despite weakness in the two largest cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin falling more than 3% and Ethereum losing over 4% during the past week.

• Crypto trader Don Wedge said the moves could signal an early rotation into altcoins, though he cautioned that a broader altcoin season has not yet been confirmed.

While Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) bled this week but four altcoins ripped higher stoking debate over whether capital is finally rotating into smaller tokens.

On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment around ALLO remained in the ‘extremely bullish’ zone, while chatter around it stayed ‘extremely high over the past day.
