The market shifts from a bear to a bull phase, and the most likely scenario for a "rocket ride" occurs during the Expansion stage—when funds start pouring into high-risk, high-reward emerging projects.

This stage has a characteristic: an 80% to 250% increase is not a dream, but the prerequisite is that you find the right projects. So how do you find them? Developer activity and the number of real users are key. Take Solana (SOL) as an example: on-chain transaction volume surges, the development team frequently commits code, and ecosystem applications are continuously iterating. Projects like these often perform relatively well during the Expansion period. Similarly, certain projects focusing on data storage or emerging tracks, as long as community enthusiasm persists and fundamentals are sound, are likely to become "players" in this cycle.

Specifically, three screening criteria: code commits should be steadily increasing, user growth must be supported by real data, and community activity should not just be hype. These indicators seem simple, but in practice, they can help you avoid many "air coins."

Of course, risks are also present. The volatility of these tokens is like a roller coaster—high levels last week, possibly halving next week. News hype can also mislead people; a project might be hyped to the sky, but its technology implementation is painfully slow. The most deadly risk is policy risk—once regulations tighten, high-risk projects are the first to be affected.

In short, the logic of playing this game is straightforward: first, verify the fundamentals before jumping in; second, don’t try to take over others’ positions; third, admit defeat if you lose, don’t be a Monday morning quarterback. The Expansion period indeed offers many profit opportunities, but only if you have a clear understanding of the risks.
