Looking at the recent meme coin market, I have to say—this surge is very likely a carefully orchestrated trap.

The pattern is actually quite clear. Large funds have long anticipated a market rebound in January, so now, before the sentiment fully heats up, they are pushing the meme coin prices higher with a single move. What's the goal? To wait until the market truly warms up, retail investors start to see profits, and emotions are fully ignited, then they will dump all their chips to those chasing the high, and exit completely. Essentially, this operation is a high-level pump and dump game.

How risky is chasing the high? Just think about it. Retail investors who entered late are mostly buying at the highest prices. Once big funds withdraw, the price will immediately plunge, and these people will be the ones caught holding the bag. So jumping in now is no different from digging your own trap.

But don’t do nothing either. The opportunity for sector rotation is fleeting, and real profit lies in bottom-fishing rather than chasing highs. My strategy is straightforward—short this overhyped rally and operate in the opposite direction of smart money. The future trend of Bitcoin still needs to be observed, but at this stage, it’s clearly not the time to chase highs. Once the sentiment cools and the price pulls back, that will be the real opportunity to get in.
