Recently, the crypto market data seems to be heating up—BTC breaking through 88,000, ETH steady at 2,900, and SocialFi rising for two consecutive days. Some are celebrating the return of the bull market, but this phenomenon needs to be viewed calmly.

Behind the apparent prosperity lies a problem: Layer2 and DeFi are declining, while SocialFi and Layer1 are rising. This is not a market-wide rally, but rather money playing guerrilla tactics in a few hot sectors. CC surged by 19% in one day, and CHZ suddenly jumped 8%—these increases are not value discoveries but typical tactics of major players pushing prices up to sell off. They create a false illusion of "local prosperity," knowing retail investors love chasing hot topics, so they pump one sector today and switch to another tomorrow.

More notably: if this were truly a healthy bull market, why are the core ecosystems like Layer2 and DeFi actually falling? BTC and ETH seem stable, but in fact, they are masking sector withdrawals with the overall market index. Funds are not genuinely flowing into the ecosystem; they are just playing a game of hot potato in a few "data-appealing" areas.

How to respond? Remember three points— the faster the sector rotation, the more the market is wasting time; a real bull market should see all sectors rising and falling together. Don’t chase sectors that have already surged significantly; by the time you notice, it’s usually the end. Hold onto the assets you understand, and don’t let dazzling price swings disturb your mindset.

The market always sends one signal: when you feel opportunities are everywhere, usually none of them belong to you.

BTC-0,67%

ETH0,37%

CC3,48%

CHZ7,49%

Passing the flower drum is something I've seen many times. Today CC, tomorrow CHZ, retail investors are always the last to catch the bag. --- Layer2 has already fallen, so what’s there to boast about a bull market? It’s a typical betting game. --- Those chasing the high are just coming to give away money. The rotation this time is ridiculously fast. --- The stability of the market is just a smokescreen; real money is flowing out. --- If the prices aren’t rising together, don’t talk about a bull market. That’s a signal that the main players are cutting the leeks. --- Once you see through it, the more intense the sector rotation, the more虚 (meaningless or虚假, implying it's just for show). --- Opportunities everywhere are often traps—that’s a brilliant saying. --- DeFi is down, Layer2 is down, yet people are still bullish up top. It’s hilarious.

The game of passing the flower around is an old trick, and some people are truly mesmerized by that 19% increase. Are you still waiting or already cut your losses? Honestly, Layer2 is really painful, it feels like funds are playing a game of escape. I've seen through it but still can't help but want to take a gamble, that's human nature. A true bull market is when everything rises and falls together. The current approach is a bit disgusting. Retail investors have a tough life; traps are everywhere. The main players are really good at spinning stories, but next time I won't believe it either. This wave is really fake, it feels like a big drop is coming. When you don't understand the market, the safest thing to do is actually to...

Listening to it, I couldn't help but think of the brutal scene from the last round of being wiped out. This time, it still feels like the same old trick.

That's right, this wave is obviously funds dancing while retail investors are taking the bait. Wait, Layer2 is actually falling? Then the rise of BTC and ETH seems very suspicious, it does look like a cover-up. The recent gains of CC and CHZ... I just don't understand this logic. Are the main players this obvious before dumping? People chasing the high are definitely losing their minds now. See you tomorrow. Don't touch a market that isn't rising uniformly, honestly it's too risky.
