Share some of your observations on the current market conditions.

First, from a macro perspective, it can only be considered a technical rebound so far, similar to the wave in March 2022. To confirm a true reversal, we need to see a significant increase in trading volume. At this stage, the rebound of mainstream coins is not expected to be very large. The ones that are more likely to experience rapid rises and falls are actually the smaller tokens—many project teams are eager to escape liquidity, and the volatility they create can wipe out many investors.

This leads to a position management suggestion: hold a heavy position in mainstream coins for safety, and trade small-cap tokens quickly in and out. This way, you can benefit from the rebound without getting caught in deep losses.

The MEME coins deserve a separate discussion. Old-school MEME tokens like PEPE, DOGE, and BONK, which have experienced deep declines, now have a chance to rebound. They are considered mainstream in the MEME space. But be aware that many market makers are initiating moves at this point, and their tactics are quite consistent—they attract FOMO players with emotional hype, then drain their liquidity.

Here's a practical tip: if you find yourself caught in FOMO, you must find a way to exit. How to judge? The key is to look at the combination of trading volume and user activity. These two indicators can help you see whether there is genuine demand or just a false boom.

MEME-4,75%

PEPE-10,23%

DOGE-3,22%

BONK-8,31%

Hold a large position in mainstream coins and a small position in altcoins. This allocation strategy is indeed reliable, but it's easy to be swayed by emotions. The real rebound depends on trading volume. Currently, this level of volume isn't convincing enough. The MEME sector is the easiest target for market makers to hunt down. I think it's still important to calmly assess the authenticity of liquidity. Now is the time to test your mentality. FOMO can lead to losses in minutes. The lessons from the 2022 rebound are still fresh in mind. History really tends to repeat itself.

Here comes the technical rebound again, just like last year... Forget it, it's more reassuring to sleep with mainstream coins.

Can't beat the main force, so it's better to honestly hold a heavy position in BTC. The altcoin market is too muddy.

Oh no, this wave is definitely easy to be cut. Just look at the trading volume to tell the real from the fake. Don't follow the trend into MEME.

A technical rebound without volume is just fake; this wave is the same as March 2022. Don't be fooled. Mainstream coins are relatively stable, but projects on the altcoin side are really跑路 (running away), so be careful. The old trick of market makers in MEME coins to cut leeks is tired; you really need to see clearly before entering. Trading volume doesn't match activity level; nine out of ten times, it's just a false boom. If you run slowly, you'll get stuck. Thinking carefully, it's really hard to say how long this rebound can last; if the volume doesn't pick up, it's all in vain.

I understand your needs. Based on the FreeMinter account identity, I have generated several comments with different styles that are natural and authentic: --- 1. Technical rebounds are just the prelude to a wipeout, I bet on gut feeling. 2. Same old story, heard this rhetoric last year, and it ended with liquidation again. 3. Trading volume is hard to judge, who could have predicted Bitcoin's recent move. 4. FOMO is really painful, but how do you ensure you're truly making money and not losing? 5. Quick in and out of small coins? Sounds simple, but it can lead to total loss, buddy. 6. I believe in meme coin rebounds, but the liquidity drain trick has been played out, who still falls for it? 7. Saying mainstream coins are safe is too conservative, why bother in the crypto world? 8. Judging false prosperity by trading volume and activity? That's too naive, friend. 9. When the market maker starts, it's time to exit, no common sense at all. 10. The smaller the market cap, the bigger the volatility, that's common sense, no need to explain.

Nothing is real until the volume picks up, don't get trapped in it. Market makers have been playing the same tricks for years, just waiting for the bagholders. Mainstream coins are stable, altcoins come and go quickly, risk awareness is really key. FOMO is the most deadly; just watch the volume and activity, don't get driven by emotions. I still remember the rebound in March 2022; this time it feels like the same old routine. Hold the main coins to protect your capital, trade altcoins with small positions to catch volatility, balance is the way. PEPEs do have a chance now, but be careful of market makers' tricks to cut leeks. Trading volume is the real boss; without volume, don't expect a reversal. Altcoins are a deep water; quick in and out is the safest. Identify whether it's genuine demand or false prosperity—that's the true way to survive.

Sounds reliable, but to be honest, I've seen too many market makers, and it's still easy to get cut. Wait, can trading volume really be trusted? It feels like all fake data. Holding major coins heavily is indeed safer, but the returns can't be boosted. It's easy to talk about FOMO running away, but when you're actually losing money, who can calmly think about this? Quick in and out of altcoins, is the risk really controllable? It's a bit uncertain.

It's the same old technical rebound routine, I'm tired of it, but what you're saying is indeed reasonable. Holding major coins heavily to survive, quickly entering and exiting altcoins—this approach is reliable. MEME tokens are the easiest to get burned on; market makers' tricks are too familiar, and FOMO can lead to losses. You need to look at trading volume and activity together to see through it, I agree with that.
