#数字资产动态追踪 This phenomenon is really quite bizarre.

Every so-called "dog whale" is frantically chasing hot topics to issue coins—this is an open secret. Whenever a meme or trend appears on Weibo, exchanges and project teams immediately follow suit to push coins, fearing to fall behind. Recently, it's become even more exaggerated, with related topics everywhere from online to offline, overwhelming discussions and predictions on social platforms, and even derivative content.

Interestingly, the early predictions and analyses seemed quite credible, and market sentiment was driven to a high point.

But what was the result? No one expected—these coins instead plummeted.

What exactly is the reason? Is it really unexpected, or is there some abnormal logic behind it?

It feels like this phenomenon deserves in-depth discussion: why does the highest hype period turn out to be the starting point of a decline? What is the logic behind the "dog whale" issuing coins? How are market participants' expectations formed? What do you all think?

Ha, isn't this a typical "Consensus Trap"? The more people are optimistic, the more dangerous it becomes. I'm tired of this routine. When the hype reaches its peak, it's time to run. --- Are you all caught? Honestly, this time they really drained the retail investors' money. --- Wait, do you think this is a coincidence or intentional? It feels a bit too perfect. --- I just want to ask, how can we detect this kind of reverse operation in advance next time? --- Dog whale: I just want to make you FOMO to the high point, then all of us will be buried together. --- The most outrageous predictions are often the most dangerous signals. Fellow investors should learn this trick. --- Basically, it's a liquidity trap—easy to get in but hard to get out. --- Another round of harvesting. Hold on, next time I choose to stay on the sidelines.

Isn't this a typical night before a dump? The higher the hype, the more you should run.

nah this is just textbook pump and dump dressed up as "organic hype"... statistically speaking when literally everyone and their grandma is talking about it, you're already at the extraction point, not the accumulation phase. the correlation between social volume and actual price action has historically been... let's say inverse to what retail expects lol

This is the traditional story of the high-level bagholder training, no wonder I keep losing money. --- Hottest = the last batch of retail investors entering the market, a basic law. --- Basically, after the hype is built up, they start to cut, the routine is old and well-known. --- I just want to know if anyone has really sold at the top, or if it's all just paper wealth. --- It's always like this; the higher the discussion, the greater the risk. This time I’ve learned to be smart. --- The project team has already offloaded their holdings, and we're still analyzing the K-line. --- Is reverse trading these hot coins the correct approach?

The heatmap charts have reached the top; next, they can only go down. This is not abnormal; it's standard operation.
