Many people think that the concept of the World Cup only rises when the match starts.
Actually, the real gameplay in the crypto world is quite the opposite.
The most classic rule is:
Before the match even begins, funds are already opening champagne in advance.
Because the market is never炒的 about football,
but about: traffic, emotions, FOMO, and retail investors' illusions.
Looking back at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
First phase:
Preheating begins 2-3 months before the event.
Funds first push CHZ,
because it is the leader of the entire Fan Token ecosystem.
Then funds start to spread out:
ARG, POR, PSG—these high-traffic coins begin to rotate.
The market logic at this time is:
The World Cup is coming soon, so someone will definitely hype it.
Second phase:
As the start approaches, emotions reach a climax.
This stage is the craziest.
A large number of retail investors start entering the market,
media begins to spread the news,
short-term funds start to ignite疯狂.
Many coins will show:
a few dozen points up in a day,
but with poor sustainability.
It’s not long-term funds building positions,
but emotional funds taking turns.
Third phase:
After the actual start, it’s easier to start cashing out.
Because expectations have already been炒满了.
Especially when everyone starts discussing World Cup coins,
many old funds are already preparing to撤.
This is also why:
The World Cup sector often appears that
the more exciting the match, the harder it is for coins to rise.
Because funds are炒的 about expectations,
not the results.
My most ruthless point is:
Even losing can lead to a跌,
sometimes winning also跌.
Because what truly决定 the price is not the team’s performance,
but:
whether there is still new capital willing to接盘.
So, the World Cup sector is actually:
short cycle,
high emotion,
high volatility,
fast in and out, typical event-driven行情.
The biggest fear is:
“热度见顶,但增量资金没来。”
