Hunting Rare Alpha: Attention as a Lead Signal Also Hit a Ceiling
🧭 Since common signals are beta, we hunted narrow rare alpha. The attention-leads hypothesis also failed to clear a zero-EV ceiling, and same-theme coins diverged. The answer increasingly pointed away from entry.
Knowing that common signals are already beta, close to the market average, we deliberately went looking for narrow, rare signals. One was the hypothesis that when attention moves first, price follows. We split coins into those whose calls ignite abruptly and those that warm up gradually and tested both, but neither cleared the ceiling of zero expected value. A gradual ignition would look briefly good and then collapse days later. The same day, another thing became clear: even within the same theme, coins meet different fates, so what you pick alone yields no answer. The answer was increasingly pointing somewhere other than entry.
