When a major market rally occurs, the MEME sector often leads the charge, and they tend to react the fastest when the rally ends. In the past two days, the entire MEME sector has generally risen, but I think the gains are already quite substantial — chasing higher at this point clearly carries more risk than reward. As the sector leader, $PEPE has already started to adjust, and $DOGE is similar; short-term profit-taking is very strong.



The AI sector is also heating up, with $VIRTUAL and $FET both surging sharply in the past two days. The opportunity cost of continuing to buy in is also increasing. Instead of blindly chasing highs, it’s better to look for opportunities to catch up or consider short strategies. There’s an interesting market pattern: once one sector finishes its rally, the next sector takes over. This rotation is especially evident in the two most emotionally charged sectors — AI and MEME — as they are most easily driven by hot topics and market sentiment.

In contrast, other mainstream altcoins perform rather mediocre. Especially those large-cap public chains, which mostly can only follow the overall market trend step by step, making it difficult to see independent breakout opportunities.
PEPE-4.45%
DOGE-0.57%
VIRTUAL6.29%
FET2.75%

Another warning: "Don't chase highs, look for rebounds." Hearing it a thousand times, but you still have to suffer losses. Has PEPE adjusted? Why do I still see bullish momentum? These analyses are all after-the-fact armchair strategies. The rotation pattern definitely exists, but no one can predict what the next one will be. Instead, it’s easy to chase the last sucker who takes the fall. Large-cap public chains are being heavily criticized, but they were already meant to stay low-key.

Chasing highs is truly brave, losing money with a clear conscience PEPE and DOGE are already shaking people off, yet you're still chasing... I really don't understand this move Market rotation is easy to talk about, but how many can really hit the right rhythm That bunch of public chains is indeed boring, like zombies following the market Instead of blindly jumping in, it's better to wait for a rebound, this phrase is hinting that the big smart money hasn't entered yet The emotional sector is like this, it comes quickly and goes just as fast, don't get caught in it The recent surge in MEME is indeed a bit outrageous, I am firmly not taking the final step Short-selling strategies sound good, but I just don't have the guts...

I knew it the moment I chased the high, this time I'll happily lose this trade again PEPE and DOGE are both starting to shake, and some are going all-in? Truly tough guys The rotation pattern is correct, but I always go against it, it's the kind of pattern that repeatedly teaches me a lesson The right way is to catch up on the surge, but us little guys love to FOMO into the most frantic places The big-cap public chains are a bunch of wooden heads, not quite good enough but not bad either, they are the most awkward position AI is taking over, fine, I'll just wait to buy at the top, I’ve got the professional trader title locked down Short-selling strategies sound very high-end, but compared to my trading level, it's just reverse operation to earn premiums

Chasing the high is always for the rookies; PEPE and DOGE are almost reaching their peak. I truly respect those who still dare to jump on now. Rotation is correct, but no one can predict which sector will be next. Those who truly make money are the steady ones. Why are large-cap public chains being pumped like this? I think they’re just a backdrop; hot money has already piled into MEME and AI. The opportunity for a rebound requires keeping your eyes wide open; not every project can turn around. Shorting PEPE this round has yielded good results, but the key is not to be greedy. VIRTUAL and FET have been fierce these days, but I’m more optimistic about the dark horse projects coming up. Honestly, MEME is just an emotional market; whoever bottoms out first wins. Now is really not a good time to chase. Public chains can only wait for the market to catch its breath a bit; there’s probably still a chance later. The market is like this—sector rotation is so fast, today’s leader might fall behind tomorrow. It feels like money chasing hot spots all the time, but you still need some patience.
