Looking at the latest data, the cryptocurrency fear and greed index jumped from 20 yesterday directly to 28, climbing out of the abyss of extreme fear overnight. $BTC $ZEC $DOGE are all itching to move.

Interestingly, what is really behind this shift in sentiment? Are the major players quietly accumulating at this level, or are retail investors jumping in impulsively after seeing the rebound? Which sectors are the funds flowing into specifically, and who will be the first to break out?

Honestly, has the shadow of the bear market truly receded? No one can say for sure now. But one thing is certain—the market is changing, and opportunities and risks are often just a thought apart. Has anyone figured out the pattern? Share your thoughts.

BTC1.79%

ZEC-5.87%

DOGE9.2%

28 this number, I believe it half, is the rebound really that fierce? Main force building positions? Laughing to death, it's the retail investors who are really getting cut. BTC is itching to move, and my wallet is also itching to pull out. Who will break through first? Eighty percent are still the main force coins, and we retail investors are just running along. Has the bear market really retreated? Why am I still sweating cold? I can't afford the risk of this moment, brother.

nah the 20→28 pump screams orchestrated liquidity grab to me. watch the MEV extraction patterns on chain rn, whales always telegraph their moves through sandwich attacks before the real push happens.散户们根本看不到这些dark forest shit going on in the mempool里

When the data jumps like this, I know something's going to happen. The question is whether the main force is genuinely building a position or just bait before a dump. Who can tell for sure? It just feels like this rebound has no real confidence. Let's wait and see before jumping in again. At this level of 28... HODLing honestly is the best strategy. I really don't dare chase the rally. Are people starting to buy coins again? I'm still on the sidelines. Whether this rebound is reliable or not depends on what happens next. Retail investors often buy the dip just to become the bagholders. Is it the same this time? From 20 to 28, people start to get optimistic? I don't think so.

I'm not that optimistic about the number 28; I feel it's just a false rebound, and the main players are testing the waters. There aren't many who are really daring to push forward; retail investors are still timid. My BTC is just lying there. Who will break out first in this wave? I'm betting on DOGE. If it doesn't rise soon, I'm pulling out.

The number 28 looks pretty intimidating, but I still don't dare to go all in. Are the big players really accumulating chips in this wave? It feels like retail investors are about to get cut again. BTC rebounded so quickly, but I keep feeling something's off.

I'll say it directly, the rebound from 20 to 28... might just be the main force testing retail investors' psychological defenses. The most dangerous thing at this point is to follow the trend. 28 is still too tender; I'm waiting for confirmation signals above 32. If BTC really breaks through, it also depends on on-chain data. Don't just focus on sentiment indicators; those are prone to fluctuations. Was yesterday's extreme panic real? It looks like just a trap to induce more buying now. To put it simply, this position is now a dance between gamblers and hunters. Retail investors should never buy the dip; the main force is playing psychological warfare.
