The past 24 hours have been a bit crazy—The Meme sector surged by 24%, with coins like PEPE, DOGE, SHIB, and others all taking off together, and the entire market cheering "The bull market is back." But upon reflection, is this really the start of a new upward cycle, or just a replay of old tricks?
From a data perspective, it’s indeed impressive: PEPE has gained nearly 46% in the past 7 days, with trading volume skyrocketing by 481%. Technical indicators are all showing strength, giving the appearance of a thriving market. But the problem is also clear—RSI has already surged above 74, a signal that is waving a risk warning.
Anyone who has experienced multiple cycles understands that the sudden surge of Meme coins is usually not driven by new capital inflows, but by a flash battle of existing funds. These coins have a small market cap and are easy to manipulate; just creating some FOMO can attract a wave of retail investors following along. And then? The reversal often happens even faster than the rise. This kind of carnival is like a castle on the beach—spectacular to look at, but it crumbles immediately when the tide comes in. Especially when Bitcoin hasn't fully stabilized, this type of capital flow is inherently fragile.
What are truly savvy investors doing? They’re not chasing highs, closely watching Bitcoin’s movements, holding cash, and waiting for better entry opportunities. The core logic here is simple: the opportunities in a bull market come from the trend itself, while the rise and fall of Meme coins are mainly driven by market sentiment. Investors who can’t distinguish between these two are often led by their emotions.
Finally, a word of advice: investing isn’t about who rushes the hardest, but who can last the longest. In this noisy market, letting thoughtful analysis replace impulsive reactions is always the smarter choice.

I'm quite skeptical about this meme frenzy. RSI is already at 74, and you're still chasing? Just wait to get cut.
Bitcoin hasn't even stabilized yet. It's really hard to say how long these retail funds can last.
It's always the same. Prices rise quickly and fall just as fast. Let's see how many new rookies get tricked this time.
I'm still holding onto BTC to eat, I can't play with this kind of emotional market.
The beach castle analogy is good, but in the market, some people insist on building walls. Serves them right to be washed away by the waves.

A 46% increase looks great, but with RSI at 74, do you still dare to buy? That’s the difference between retail investors and smart money.
It’s just a game of existing capital again; one FOMO can pull people in. Anyway, I’ve learned my lesson.
Bitcoin hasn't even stabilized yet, why chase after Meme coins? Let’s wait and see.
It’s really about surviving longer and earning more, not about who rushes in the hardest... That’s what they say, but I still can’t help but want to buy the dip haha.
The beach castle analogy is perfect—once the tide goes out, everything’s ruined.

RSI 74 is still partying, do these people really not understand what high-position risk means?
When retail investors chase the high, large funds are already quietly offloading, as on-chain data clearly shows.
Behind 481% trading volume is existing capital desperately pushing the market, don’t be fooled by FOMO.
Bitcoin hasn't even stabilized, and the Meme sector's reversal is happening even faster than the rise; I've seen this play out too many times.
Those who truly make money never chase these emotional plays; they are waiting for the opportunity when the major trend is confirmed.

Coming back with this again? RSI74 still dares to get in, really treating risk as an ornament
Retail investors' FOMO is the market maker's cash machine, always like this
Bitcoin is still dithering, Meme coins are already going crazy, something's not right with the logic
Wait, I think this wave might be different... No, I just remembered I thought the same last time
Living longer is more important than rising fast, this phrase hit the mark

Another wave of retail investors getting caught, a 46% increase looks great, RSI74 lights up a red flag.
Retail investors should really read this article; FOMO sentiment is just a trap.
Holding cash and waiting for opportunities is the way to go, not chasing highs.
Beach castles will eventually collapse; if Bitcoin isn't stable, don't expect a new cycle.
Sentiment tokens will never surpass trend tokens; those who understand are waiting.
This round of exit lists will be very long; those who last the longest will win.

A typical hot potato game—RSI is already at 74, yet they're still shouting bull market. Retail investors are the last to take the bait.
