Recently, Bitcoin's performance has indeed been perplexing. The price has been oscillating between highs and lows, with the range of fluctuation growing larger, as if deliberately creating confusion. From a technical perspective, the downward channel over the past two or three months may be about to experience a reverse breakout, but the current right-side trend still lacks a clear direction, and it might not break out at all.

What is even more striking? The overall market is very dull, except for the MEME sector which is showing unusual movement and sharp gains. But how long can this last? Will the main market follow suit and strengthen? Honestly, it's hard to be optimistic. This is very likely some big players are taking the opportunity to extract liquidity from contracts and, by the way, harvest some new year's "chives."

The key point is—whenever Bitcoin experiences such north-south, wide-range oscillations, altcoins often enter a frantic sector rotation mode. During this time, various small coins take turns emerging, seeming vibrant but actually undercurrents are surging. Beginners are easily deceived by the surface prosperity and end up getting caught off guard. Therefore, the most important thing at this stage is to stay vigilant and not be led astray by superficial movements.

It's another round of the leek-cutting routine. I never believed in this wave of rise in the MEME sector from the very beginning. --- Bitcoin's shaky appearance is indeed uncomfortable, feels like the whales are deliberately playing psychological games. --- Newcomers entering MEME now are just getting free rewards, honestly, that's all there is to it. --- Whenever the market is dull like this, small-cap coins start rotating to harvest, same old trick. --- This trend on the right... to be honest, I can't see the direction clearly. Better to wait and see. --- When MEME surges wildly, it's time to be cautious. I learned this the hard way from losing money. --- Whales extracting liquidity happen every cycle, here we go again. --- The market isn't showing signs of improvement, but sector rotation is crazy. The leeks should wake up. --- Wait, are they trying to pump the price to buy the dip? The routine seems too obvious. --- Those who are fooled by superficial prosperity are all newcomers. You have to suffer losses to understand.

Here we go again with the same trick, MEME pump and dump just to make us chase? Last time they played like this, I cut my losses right on the floor. --- No direction at all and still trying to break through, isn't this just the prelude to the market maker's washout? --- Newbies entering the altcoin sector now are basically just giving away money. --- I just want to know when this market will show a real direction; waiting is getting a bit annoying. --- MEME's gains are impressive, but what about the trading volume? Don't be fooled by illusions. --- The entire market is so sluggish, only MEME is hyping itself up. Anyone with a bit of sense should be cautious. --- Every time there's a fluctuation, they say it will break out, but in the end, it's just air. I'm exhausted. --- When contract liquidity is drained, it's usually the worst time for new retail investors to enter. This rule never fails.

Is it another time for the market maker to harvest? MEME's recent surge really made me drool... --- Speaking of this kind of market, those still chasing small coins are basically waiting to be repeatedly cut for chives. --- No direction on the right side, so just wait it out. Anyway, I've already learned to lie flat. --- The big market quietly makes a fortune, but only MEME is having a blast. I've seen this script too many times. --- Every time I say don't be led by the nose, but still some people rush in... Truly. --- Is it so hard to break out of the range-bound oscillation? Feels like this round of market is so dull it gives me a headache. --- MEME is surging so fiercely, it feels like being close to being trapped. --- Newbie money should be harvested like this, or how else can they learn their lesson? --- Contract liquidity has been drained... I've heard this many times, but every time someone falls for it. --- I just want to know when this kind of market will finally end.

Here comes the old trick of cutting leeks again. I saw through the slight increase in the MEME sector at a glance.

It's the same old scam by the manipulators, rushing in as soon as the MEME sector surges? Are beginners just being sacrificed?

It's the same old trick of the whales cutting the leeks again. The recent surge in MEME might just be a trap.

It's the same old trick again, when the MEME sector surges, they want to come in and harvest the gains. Old tricks never die. --- This wave of BTC volatility is really annoying, feels like flying a kite. --- Exactly right, now entering altcoins is suicide; wait until the main trend is clear. --- I just want to ask, can anyone tell me when it will break through? Waiting until the flowers have withered. --- The big players make a wave of new-year韭菜, and retail investors are just responsible for taking the bait. --- MEME short-term fluctuations don't mean much; vigilance is the key. --- Every time there's such a market, it starts rotating to harvest. Beginners, don't get caught up in it.
