After immersing yourself in the crypto world for a while, you'll gradually start to sense some market rules that seem counterintuitive but have proven repeatedly effective. Today, I’ll openly share the practical experience accumulated over the years.
Let's start with the most painful phenomenon: the coins that are hottest and most discussed during a bull market are often the ones that experience the sharpest retracements and the most violent corrections. These coins rely on emotional hype for their price surges, and once the sentiment wanes, they collapse instantly. In contrast, projects with real potential—especially those capable of triggering major market movements—initially don’t do much promotion; only a small group of people quietly follow and gradually accumulate. Coins like RIVER are very illustrative of this point.
Another detail to watch out for: when a coin’s price trend is still decent but suddenly starts to lose momentum, it’s probably not just random fluctuation but a sign of phased profit-taking. If you want to catch rebounds during a bull market, focusing on current mainstream hot spots actually offers a more stable success rate.
What’s more interesting is that coins moving independently of the overall market rhythm tend to exhibit abnormal trends; meanwhile, coins that follow BTC’s pace and have amplified price swings often become the most promising targets in this cycle.
Don’t forget another type of coin: those that hide deep in the first half and then suddenly accelerate in the second half, directly resulting in tenfold or twentyfold gains—this kind of drama repeats over and over in history. Coins that have already multiplied several times but can still hold steady for a long time and maintain stable chips usually don’t fall easily.
The true opportunities and key judgment points are honestly very hard to explain in just a few words. These insights are hidden in long-term observation and practical exploration, requiring gradual understanding through market experience.

To be honest, hot coins are all just leek harvesters.
The projects accumulated in the shadows are the real track.
Wait, isn't this logic flawed? On one hand, they say the success rate with hot topics is stable, and on the other hand, they say hot coins are highly destructive. Isn't that a contradiction?
I still believe in signals that can't be easily pumped up; these are the least deceptive.

That's right, hot coins are doomed; it's an ironclad rule.
The ones always worth watching are those overlooked little guys.
Wait, can RIVER really increase tenfold? Why didn't I jump in...
Buying the rebound when breaking down and unable to rally? Feels like this move requires a good touch.
Coins with independent trends are indeed fierce; following the trend with BTC is just okay.
Sideways consolidation is truly where the chips settle; I agree with this theory.

You're right, hot coins are all graves for bagholders.
---
Starting to talk about this theory again, but the question is who can see which one truly has potential.
---
$RIVER indeed makes big money quietly, but we always miss out because we're slow to realize.
---
That moment when I couldn't push the price up really hit me; I always miss the rebound.
---
Coins that follow BTC's big swings sound risky, so it's better to stay steady.
---
Tenfold or twentyfold gains look exciting, but how many people actually hold on to the bottom?
---
Long-term sideways trading with stable chips, sounds like waiting for a bomb to explode.
---
The last paragraph is basically saying "figure it out yourself," haha, this is called experience.
---
The higher the hype, the more cautious you should be; this is the hard-earned truth from blood and tears.
---
It seems like everything is correct, but in practice, emotions still tend to lead you astray.

That's right, I totally agree with the theory that hot coins are doomed.
Honestly, every time I see a certain coin being hyped up in the group, I start to get nervous... Nine times out of ten, it’s followed by a sharp drop.
However, this article is a bit all over the place. It first says that hot coins have the strongest impact, then says that following hot trends has a steady success rate... Isn't that a bit contradictory?
Truly impressive projects are indeed built up quietly; by the time they gain momentum, retail investors are already late to the game.
I'm now just waiting to see which coin can suddenly take off from sideways trading; that feels the most exciting.
That said, knowing these principles and actually making money are worlds apart...

Hot coins crash as soon as they spike; I've seen this happen too many times...
That's right, the ones that truly double are always the unnoticed ones.
RIVER this wave definitely has some potential; initially, there wasn't much buzz.
Wait, if it can't be pushed up, should I just sell? Or should I keep holding? How do you judge, brother?
Coins with independent trends can see incredible gains, but they can also crash suddenly.
Consolidating chips steadily... sometimes this is just cutting the new greenhorns.
All sound right, but in actual operation, it's easy to get carried away in the heat of the moment.

The higher the heat, the faster it dies—that's really a punch to the gut...
No doubt about it, those who accumulate quietly are the true winners.
Once again, a benchmark example shows that the market ultimately boils down to chips and patience.
Remember last year's wave? Not a single coin endorsed by big V was bought correctly.
Why is it so hard to remember this lesson... always following the trend.
Stable chips during sideways trading are a good omen; this is something to learn.
