15 Surprising Facts About the Current Price Increase Cycle
● The $BTC season is the Memecoin season.
When Bitcoin rises, people usually buy memecoins in bulk, which has a positive impact on their prices.
Long-term investors continue to sell $BTC strongly and have sold nearly 730,000 $BTC in the month.
US same-day ETFs play a crucial role in absorbing about 90% of selling pressure.
● $SOL over $500 could become a reality.
Memecoins, along with AI and DePIN stories, are attracting a lot of attention.
Even when the memecoin era ends, AI and DePIN project developers continue to choose Solana.
● Blockchain-based AI agents are still being undervalued.
AI agents have begun to leave their mark in the real world. However, AI built on blockchain provides greater decentralization and privacy.
● Ethereum is expected to rise.
The open interest in Ethereum has surpassed its all-time high, exceeding $13 billion - a growth of over 40% in the past four months.
● Most of Ethereum's L2s will fail.
The most promising L2s currently are Base and Mantle.
Unless the Ethereum Fund develops a concept of L2 centers, 90% of L2 chains will not survive the next bear cycle.
● Cutting-edge technologies will succeed.
AI, DePIN, and RWA are the future.
At least that's how retailers see it, so pay attention to these trends. ● Non-fundamental stories are very good for speculation.
For example, DeSci is interesting. While it may not be popular, it has been and will continue to be pumped well.
● Quantum Crypto.
Quantum stocks have increased by more than 1000% in just one month.
It's worth paying attention to projects related to quantum in crypto.
● Santiment.
Be careful with what people say here. They are often too pessimistic during downturns and too optimistic during upturns.
● Let go of altcoins.
When you consider selling your altcoins and everyone labels you a complete fool, that's a signal for the best moment to withdraw money. ● Cobie's thoughts.
I think Cobie knows a little more about this market than we do.
Listen to his wisdom and then make your own decision would be wise.
● The old rules of the market still apply.
Although this cycle differs significantly from previous ones, the development of altcoins still heavily depends on the dominance of Bitcoin.
● The market is a cycle.
Today is meme, tomorrow is technology, and the next day is regulation.
Cycles have never been canceled. Remember that.
● Thinking from My Experience.
Some people may benefit more from searching for dips in alpha rounds instead of trying to catch a risky beta round.
