May 5, 2026
The holiday is coming to an end, is everyone still having fun? Or like before, major scenic spots are crowded with people, but that doesn't stop everyone from going out to travel, after all, the holiday is only so long.
What’s particularly interesting is that, consistent with my earlier judgment, in the second half of this holiday, the market started to gain momentum, and Bitcoin has quietly broken through $80k, while Ethereum continues to return to the $2,400 mark, with a chance to hit a new high in the past two months.
In my view, this trend has already formed a breakout pattern, this wave has not only experienced a sharp decline but also a rebound and retest, making it an excellent breakout window.
Another point worth mentioning is the crazy surge of altcoins; regardless of their value, from a speculative perspective, gains of several times or even dozens of times are sure to attract many retail investors.
Behind these coins, there must be major players accumulating and controlling the positions, which is actually an important component and manifestation of active market funds.
In other words, the current market is driven by funds, but initially, it was the high-control altcoins that were pushed.
We have reason to believe that mainstream coins and large-cap tokens with higher circulating market caps will also attract speculative capital.
My sensitivity to the trend of altcoins is also because I participate in secondary market arbitrage, which is a tough job that requires constant attention.
When the market is good, you can indeed earn quite a bit in a day, but you also need to keep an eye on price movements, especially during rapid surges.
After calculating, I found that the past month has almost been a peak.
