BTC's movement over the past three days has been quite interesting. The surge from 87,000 to 88,000, driven by large capital repositioning, has been widely discussed. Coupled with PEPE's rapid surge nearly doubling in value, retail investors are clearly unable to hold back, and more and more are entering the market.



From a short-term perspective, the downward momentum has been largely absorbed. The market is now shifting from a weak state toward neutrality, with conditions for a rebound gradually accumulating. However, there's a detail worth noting—this upward move is mainly driven by recovery efforts, and active buying is not concentrated. To put it bluntly, it looks more like a pullback rather than a genuine upward trend. So, there is indeed room for short-term gains, but the higher we go, the more cautious we need to be; the risks and rewards are far from balanced.

On the altcoin side, signals of capital testing the waters are already emerging. Some old meme coins have been ignited first. As long as Bitcoin doesn't experience a sudden drop again, the rebound sentiment will naturally spread across the entire market. However, to be honest, this kind of market movement is essentially a liquidity game, providing a time window for large funds to reposition. Many altcoins may very well reach their peak in this round.

My advice is not to chase those altcoins that have already surged significantly. Instead of following the trend, it's better to look for tokens that are still at low levels and have room for a rebound. This approach will likely improve your win rate and make the returns more worth expecting.

Really, chasing high on those meme coins just gets you cut; buying the dip at lower levels is the right way. The retail crowd's enthusiasm is high for entry, but this recovery phase can't really attract active buying; be aware of that. Being pulled back doesn't mean it will go up; the higher you chase, the more dangerous it is. I honestly don't see any winning probability here. Large funds are adjusting their positions; the signal that the copycat coins are nearing the end is very obvious. Don't follow the trend, everyone. PEPE doubling sounds great, but it's just a liquidity trap. Wake up, brothers. The winning mindset is to buy the dips in low-positioned assets; chasing high will only turn you into a leek (retail investor).

lol the "being pulled up" vs "actually wanting to go up" distinction hits different when you're staring at buy wall weakness like this. yeah yeah, altseason narrative incoming but the liquidity dynamics are just... giving large caps a convenient reshuffling window, ngl.

Haha, retail investors, you're so proud. This wave is just big fish eating small fish. Those chasing the high will have to cut their losses; buying the dip at lower levels is the real strategy. I just don't believe you can see through it clearly. When you're pulled back, just pretend you've gained. That's hilarious. You need to change that mindset. PEPE doubled, but I didn't buy in. I knew it was a scythe from the start—there's a 90% chance the copycat is the bag holder. Big funds rotating positions excite you, but I'm waiting for the real bottom.

Honestly, fixing the market is the most frustrating. Seeing it rise doesn't actually mean there's active buying support. Isn't this just being manipulated by the big players? Retail investors chasing highs should wake up. Getting excited over PEPE doubling is pointless; in the end, it's still a loss to cut. Only the low-priced, catch-up altcoins are worth watching. Don't even touch high-priced ones.

Being pulled back is just being pulled back; this wave really isn't pure enough. Those who chase highs will definitely have to suffer later. The low positions are the real opportunity.

It's the same old trick of being pulled back, so damn annoying. --- Retail investors are about to be harvested again, PEPE doubles and then goes crazy. --- The right move is to buy low and wait for the rebound, don't chase high anymore. --- I think there's an 80% chance this correction will crash, better to be cautious. --- Large funds adjusting positions? Basically, it's just dumping. --- The "knockoff" talk is endless, heard it every cycle. --- Is the rebound sentiment spreading? I doubt it, depends on BTC's mood. --- Unequal risk and reward really scares me. --- It's better to look for low-priced coins that haven't taken off yet. --- Getting pulled back doesn't mean it's real; retail investors should really reflect.

Is the rebound real? Retail investors are still holding the bag. Interesting, huh? --- PEPE has doubled? I'm still watching for the low-level rebound. Those chasing at high levels are just bagholders. --- Large capital shifts happen like this; retail investors are always left with the risk. --- Don’t listen to those hype, this is all about liquidity games. Most who jump in will get cut. --- Is there room for short-term gains? If the risk isn’t proportional, why chase? The low-level rebound stocks are more attractive. --- Old meme coins have all been ignited; latecomers basically have no chance. Still waiting and holding at low levels. --- Bitcoin crashes and it’s over. This rebound was always fake. I trust the rebound logic more. --- Active buy orders that aren’t concentrated are just being manipulated. Anyone can see that. Are there still people falling for it? --- Is the copycat phase over? The real strategy is to get in early and catch the rebound. --- PEPE is about to double again, and I’m still pondering the low-level ones. The rhythm is about right; it’s time to switch.
