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.

Ha, it's the same old story. The script of big funds harvesting retail investors has been played so many times, and some people still believe it.

This tactic, in essence, is just incentive distortion... Retail investors, after being emotionally triggered, lose collective decision-making power. It's like DAO voting; in the end, the bagholders are always the majority.

Oh wow, another set after another. I just want to ask, are there really that many smart money playing chess?

It's the same story again. Every time, they say big funds are setting up a trap, but those who buy the dip also get trapped and lose everything. Guess there's really no way to make money.

Here comes the old trick of market manipulators cutting leeks again, this time disguised as a meme coin.

It's all a scam. This time, the meme coin's surge really smells bad. Just wait to get cut.
