Do you remember the BEAT rally? In December last year, it surged from 0.2 to 4.5, once topping the trending searches, with a rise of 15 times. When such opportunities are in front of you, those who get in early truly profit immensely. Many traders followed at the time; although not everyone caught the entire wave, there were quite a few who doubled their assets.

Looking at privacy coins like ZEC. Certain major events triggered a collective explosion in the privacy sector, which is a typical structural opportunity. Sharp traders positioned themselves early, moving in and out during sector rotations, and if they timed it right, they could profit.

But stories are just stories. Looking back now at BEAT, the hype has long faded, the whales have basically exited, and latecomers can only watch as the price drops back, even halving again and again. The market is always like this—when hype is high, it’s a tsunami; when it ends, it’s a scene of chaos.

That’s why it’s important to look ahead. When RIVER just showed signs of emerging, some traders noticed. They started building positions around $12, and after the price surged, they took profits in stages and exited safely. To borrow an old market saying: money is made by selling, not by holding.

The myths of the past are fundamentally meant to extract patterns, not for nostalgia.

What’s truly important now is to understand the big trend direction. How much more room is there for Bitcoin and Ethereum to rise? Can Ethereum break through the critical level of 3500 and hold steady? This is the watershed that determines the next strategy for traders.

The core idea hasn’t changed: when the trend is clear, like Ethereum currently being in a definite upward channel, following the momentum is the right path. The specific analytical logic and historical strategy cases can serve as references, and the market will ultimately provide validation.
