At 3 a.m., staring at the market charts, the surge in PEPE's price really can make people break out in a cold sweat. The voices of "missed out on a billion" are everywhere, and questions like "Where's the next PEPE?" are flying around. This FOMO momentum is comparable to the madness before the 2022 crash.



Having been in the crypto space for eight years, today I won't talk about the虚的 (superficial stuff). Instead, I'll share three hard truths to help you see through this土狗 (shitcoin) feast: should you go all-in, or just watch the show honestly?

First, let's observe a phenomenon: every time there's a土狗狂欢 (shitcoin frenzy), some people mistake luck for skill. PEPE's recent surge was indeed fierce, but drooling over the leader coin isn't very meaningful. Where are the real opportunities? The rebound caused by capital spillover—this is where retail investors can lightly position themselves to grab some gains—provided they don't end up stuck on the sidelines.

**How to Play the Rebound Without Getting Crushed**

After the leader coin makes a move, a rebound usually follows—that's a common pattern in the crypto world. But this rebound window is very narrow this time, with extremely low tolerance for mistakes. Tokens like Pengu, which can't move up and fall quickly, seem to have room for a rebound at current prices, but don't be fooled by some "target prices." I've seen too many retail investors confuse "possibly reaching XX" with "certainly reaching XX," only to get cut in half before hitting their target.

Practical advice is straightforward: only use up to 10% of your idle funds to play the rebound. Set a stop-loss, and when it gains 5 to 8 points, take profits decisively. The logic behind shitcoin surges is emotional contagion—there's no real value support. It's like a popular check-in spot; it gets lively for a while and then cools off. Don't think about holding long-term as a shareholder—that's self-deception.

**Mainstream Coins Are the Stable Anchor**

The resistance level of ETH is the real signal to watch...
PEPE-0,61%
PENGU0,33%
ETH-0,87%

People still watching the market at 3 a.m. should reflect on themselves.

Here we go again, those still watching the market at 3 a.m. are all fools... Those who went all-in have lost everything; only spectators are still laughing. This time, just like in 2022, the little investors need to wake up. The late surge is really just the final push; anyway, I'm not playing anymore. ETH is the real king, everything else is gambling.

Brothers still watching the market at 3 a.m., I really can't hold on anymore haha Still that old saying, the leading stocks' gains are long gone, and the window for catch-up gains closes in the blink of an eye As for Pengu, it seems to have room but is actually just a trap for bagholders. I advise you not to gamble

Those who stay up at 3 a.m. watching the market are all gamblers. To be honest, this wave of PEPE is indeed shocking, but those chasing the high are basically just coming to give away money. --- The idea of catching up on the rally sounds good, but with such a narrow window, there's no room for even a small mistake. --- The FOMO this time is crazier than in 2022. I think someone is about to get cut again. --- Altcoins are just emotional games. They rise by five points and then run; don't be greedy for that illusory target price. --- Coins like Pengu that seem to have a chance are actually just trap for bagholders. I won't touch them. --- Instead of chasing altcoins, it's better to hold onto mainstream coins. ETH is the real safe haven. --- I've seen too many people mistake luck for skill. When PEPE rises, they think they can trade coins. It's hilarious. --- For catching up on the rally, only use within 10% of your spare money. Set a stop-loss line; otherwise, it could explode at any minute.
