Looking at this wave of market trends, the overall market has actually been quite stable. Bitcoin has been hovering at high levels, fluctuating back and forth, market sentiment is not exactly crazy, but it hasn't cooled down either. What’s truly interesting is the capital flow—money is clearly less interested in chasing mainstream coins and is instead moving toward hot topics.
You see AI concepts, Meme series, and on-chain derivatives—all these sectors have recently experienced strong gains, with some smaller coins even outperforming mainstream coins. That's how capital works: wherever there’s a new story, money rushes there.
On the macro level, it’s also playing a role. The talk of interest rate cuts in the US is growing louder, and ETF-related developments continue to influence market expectations. These factors stack up, creating a situation where the entire crypto market shows a pattern of “stable large market, hot spots jumping around.”

Mainstream coins are being squeezed like toothpaste, while small-cap coins are jumping around happily—that's the current market situation.

Funds rushing to hotspots again, it's always the same. Mainstream coins get neglected, and we have to wait for the next wave to turn around.

Small coins are taking off, while mainstream coins are a bit awkward. If this continues, would you still dare to all-in on BTC?

This wave of small coins is indeed taking off, but I still feel like chasing them a bit aggressively. It just feels like gambling.

It's normal for funds to chase hot spots, I'm just worried about the day when even hot spots can't be pushed up.

Damn, this is what I mean by "Mainland Rise and Fall." Mainstream coins are just dozing off, while small-cap coins are suddenly popping up. That's how funds behave.

I've already seen through the Meme sector; are you only realizing now?
---
To put it simply, it's still the expectation of interest rate cuts supporting the market. The true bottom consensus hasn't been reached yet.
---
The on-chain derivatives market is too complicated; don't jump around blindly, I've gone soft on many.
---
Another wave of "sell signals flying everywhere but the market refuses to fall" situation, truly incredible.
---
Small-cap coins outperforming mainstream coins? That's called going with the trend. Isn't this logic similar to my earlier prediction about digital collectibles?
---
Hot topics are really happening; market sentiment is just like that, where there's a story, people pile in.
---
The most torturous thing is the grinding at high levels, tougher than a crash, trust me.
---
Macroeconomic factors stacking up... it's easy to say, but truly profitable depends on on-chain data.

Damn, why is my NFT project still building a bottom? It feels like the whole market is going crazy, and I'm here feeling cold and indifferent.
