The "evil" truth behind the bull run in the pancake circle:

Under institutional control, the survival guide for retail investors has been rewritten!

In the past, one could judge the market using MACD golden crosses and head and shoulder tops? Now, the bull run in the crypto space has become a "counter-routine scene"—the manipulators can casually pull a few levels, rendering the technical analysts' skills ineffective; institutions rely on cross-market hedging to extend the cycle, turning the bull run into a grueling marathon, and even the most reliable time cycles have started to "go haywire."

The market has long been dominated by institutions: giants like MicroStrategy use Bitcoin as collateral to leverage their positions, firmly occupying the top traffic, making it difficult for altcoins to gain traction. Even more exaggerated is the fact that the number of tokens has surged from 3,000 on Binance last year to 12 million, with so many junk coins that even the manipulators are too lazy to control the market. Last year, there were 870,000 meme coins on Solana, and the survival rate after 30 days was less than 4%. Retail investors suffered massive losses and were completely unable to re-enter, and the market ecology has long since changed.

Want to survive in the current market? You must abandon old thinking and adopt this new approach:

1. Break out of the market misconception: Bitcoin rises slowly like "digital gold," while altcoins rotate like "pass the parcel." The seemingly bull run may just be a trap set by the manipulators; don't be deceived by the surface market.
2. Diversification is key: Allocate 70% of your position to hard currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and consider altcoins for the remaining 30%, ensuring that no single project exceeds 3% of your total capital to reduce the risk of losses.
3. Stop-loss faster than the market maker: Market conditions can change faster than turning a page, so be sure to set a stop-loss line— for example, if the weekly decline exceeds 15%, exit immediately; don't wait until your assets reach zero to regret.
4. Focus on valuable sectors: cautiously invest in areas such as DeFi protocols and Layer 2 infrastructure that have real application scenarios, and avoid Meme coins that rely on PPT hype; stay away from pure speculation traps.

In today's cryptocurrency market, it is no longer a paradise for "buying and waiting for rotation". The big players can control the market with a simple transfer, and retail investors must be steady and cautious, preferring to earn less while avoiding the fate of being trapped at the peak, so as not to become the harvested chives.
