This week's market performance has really been frustrating. BTC and ETH are completely stagnant, unable to break through the key levels of 96,000 and 3,500. Watching them repeatedly test these levels, it feels like a turtle crawling—there's no sign of sector rotation at all.

Looking at other mainstream coins, they are also stuck. UNI is below 7.7, CAKE is still hovering below 2.8, XRP hasn't broken 3 in a long time, XVS shows no movement, and AAVE, let alone, still can't get past 260. What kind of bull market is this? It's clearly just slow consolidation.

The only ones rallying happily are those Chinese meme coins, which have actually multiplied ten thousand times—ironic, isn't it? The market is like this: mainstream coins are dragging, while small-cap tokens are surging wildly.

BTC4,25%

ETH6,93%

UNI6,54%

CAKE6,4%

Slow and steady consolidation, well said. I'm also exhausted... Mainstream coins are so frustrating, while those meme coins are skyrocketing, it's truly a stark irony.

Slow consolidation is actually a shakeout; be patient and wait. Meme coins multiplying by ten thousand times is really ironic; mainstream coins are still in a daze. This is the market; everything that should come, comes. It feels like we're about to break below the support again; I'm exhausted. The integer threshold is just a paper tiger; a breakout is only a matter of time.

Slow and steady consolidation, still gotta tough it out, I'm exhausted --- Mainstream coins are all just lying flat like this, I actually see more potential in meme coins --- Hitting the 96,000 level is a bit heartbreaking, still have to wait --- Bull market? Laughable, this is just slow and torturous --- I missed the chance for meme coins to multiply ten thousand times, just watching with envy --- The entire cycle is stuck like this, maybe it's time to change the approach --- Mainstream coins are really boring, no wonder everyone is switching to small-cap coins --- Where is the promised sector rotation? Turns out it's all fake rallies --- How long will this market drag on? I'm really tired --- Watching repeated tests is annoying, might as well go all-in on meme coins

Slow consolidation, I really can't hold on anymore, mainstream coins are dying one by one I don't understand this wave of meme coin crazy surge, anyway I didn't dare to touch it BTC is stuck at that position, is it so hard to break through 96k Mainstream coins are all silent, feels like there's a problem with this round of market They all look like they're rising, but there's no increase in gains, I can't take it Small coins multiply ten thousand times? Forget it, I'd rather stick to mainstream coins honestly Bull market? Isn't this just consolidation? Don't fool yourself

Slow consolidation is truly hard to endure, mainstream coins are all sleeping The crazy surge of meme coins is really ironic, this is the market Wait, when will the mainstream coins start to move Is the entire cycle just like this? Forget it, let's first play with meme coins Why is BTC still hovering below 96K, feeling a bit anxious
