#数字资产动态追踪 2026 Key Reading at the Start: Hold on to those mainstream altcoins with potential

Many people haven't realized yet that the altcoin season has already arrived. Unlike before, this time the leaders aren't meme coins, but those once-glorious mainstream altcoins collectively surging.

BTC, ETH, SOL—these big brothers are just slowly creeping up from the bottom, but old-school altcoins like storage concepts, Ethereum layer-2 networks, meme coins, and fan tokens are rebounding fiercely. Why? It's simple—market makers are testing the waters. They want to see if these old coins, which once accumulated popularity, are still worth investing in for another round of hype.

So I dare to say: in 2026, a batch of altcoins will have room for speculation, potentially reaching 3-10x gains. Those who have already sold early are long gone, and now there are hardly any opposing orders in the market.

The most heartbreaking part is that this logic completely defies human nature. Most likely, we'll see scenes like this: retail investors who were deeply trapped last year, suffering 10x declines, finally see a 20% rebound at the beginning of 2026, only to tearfully cut losses and exit.

PEPE, FIL, ETH—these targets are worth paying attention to in the upcoming rhythm.

BTC1.79%

ETH2.35%

SOL2.79%

PEPE37.36%

Retail investors are always the last to buy in; I'm tired of this routine. --- Is the market maker testing the market? Honestly, it's just about how many rounds of us retail investors can be fooled. --- Another 3-10x dream, what was said last year is still being said this year. --- PEPE? FIL? I choose to trust my own judgment and not follow the trend. --- Really? I don't believe it; I'm bound to get caught again anyway. --- Holding mainstream altcoins sounds easy, but what if you don't have any coins in hand? --- The logic is: market makers make money, retail investors get caught holding the bag, and it repeats. --- Only those who have experienced a 20% rebound will sell; it's a bloody lesson.

Cutting losses and exiting is really the best move. Watching a 20% rebound and then selling, only to miss out on 3x gains—how painful that must be. Mainstream altcoins do have some potential this time, and the logic behind the market maker testing the market makes sense. PEPE, this crazy coin, is starting to stir again, and the old sisters can't hold on anymore. If FIL really takes off, it would be unbelievable. I had already forgotten this coin was still alive. Wait, is there really no opposing order this time? It feels like every time, people say that, but in the end, they get cut. 3 to 10 times gains sound tempting, but I don't know if I have the 3x or the one that goes to zero.

The blood and tears of retail investors, repeating cycle after cycle Hmm, the mainstream clones are really something this time, but I've seen too many of these cut-loss routines That FIL one, you have to keep an eye on it... the manipulators testing the market are indeed ruthless The revival of old coins still depends on information advantage; those who knew early have already jumped on board 3-10x gains are easy to talk about, but the key is to stay alive until that day

Same old story, 3 to 10 times? Sounds so convincing, I just want to see who can withstand the psychological pressure of a 20% rebound and cut immediately. Cutting losses and exiting, I've seen this many times. Starting a psychological game in 2026? Forget it, I'll just keep holding those old coins. Mainstream altcoin rebounds? Wake up, this is just the market maker setting a trap again. The last time I got caught, I still haven't gotten over it. FIL is hard to explain, does anyone really buy the dip? Wait, you said there are no opposing orders? That's good then. When will the bottom buyers step in?

Wait, a manipulator testing the market? This terminology sounds ridiculous, retail investors really believe it. It's another story of 3-10x gains, heard it last year, heard it the year before. How is FIL not dead yet? I'm amazed it can rebound. Really, there are too many people who cut losses after a 20% rebound, losing completely. Does a meme coin or fan coin rebounding mean the start of the altcoin season? I think it's mainly because no one is optimistic about the main coins anymore. Can this logic be argued against? Things that go against human nature tend to come the fastest.

The logic of the market maker testing the market has long been seen through by me; the key still depends on whether on-chain data can verify the authenticity of this rebound. Retail investors cut their losses after a 20% rebound? Frankly, they still haven't understood the consensus mechanism; liquidity depth determines everything. This target, FIL, is indeed worth following, but it depends on the stability of the nodes and the actual performance of staking yields.
