The market has been flooded with a new public chain token these days. On its first day of launch, its performance truly shocked people—initially dropping sharply, then rebounding 34.2% within an hour. This rollercoaster rhythm immediately ignited the entire community. Major exchanges and platforms like Hyperliquid quickly followed suit, opening both spot and futures trading, with 24-hour gains reaching 16.5%. Even some institutions couldn't sit still and started to lay low in OTC trading.



The current market sentiment is almost at a boiling point. Airdrop activities and various quick-profit mechanisms are taking turns, making the short-term FOMO feel intense and unavoidable. It looks like a "peak at debut" rhythm, with funds pouring in wildly. But behind this heat, problems are gradually surfacing—initial trading liquidity occasionally stalls, and on-chain withdrawals are not so smooth, which directly sets a trap for latecomers.

The market is now split into three factions. The bullish crowd focuses on the extremely high trading activity and negative funding rates, believing this is a technical rebound and that money can be made at any moment. The bearish side has a different view—overhyped early on, this surge is essentially a bubble. Once support levels are broken, high-leverage positions could trigger chain reactions of liquidations. There’s also a group of quick-in, quick-out arbitrageurs who jump in at any sign of volatility.

The volatility of new tokens has never been gentle. Liquidity worsens, fundamentals become unclear, and at this point, it all depends on whether you have the skill to precisely escape the top. The bold want to double their money, while the cautious fear getting caught holding the bag. Everyone is calculating: is this an opportunity or a meat grinder?

Another "debut at the peak," it's time to run when liquidity stalls

Those who buy in have to wait for news

This wave is destined for some to make big money and others to take the fall; choosing the wrong side is a meat grinder

Hyperliquid's quick follow-up indicates someone is pushing behind the scenes

Negative funding rates are tempting, but I still don't trust this liquidity

Every new coin is the same, just see who escapes the top first

Institutions are lurking off-chain, while we are buying on exchanges... understand?

How long can this hype last? We'll know once it breaks below the support level

Honestly, it's reckless; this is just gambling

It's the same old trick again, as soon as liquidity hits a snag, you know something's going to go wrong.

Betting on liquidity fee rates? You'll be crying when the liquidation happens.

This round is bound to crash, the higher the leverage, the more it will wipe out.

Those who go in to buy the dip are all brave warriors haha.

I'm too timid, so I decide to watch and enjoy the show.

The meat grinder starts, gamblers lining up to enter.

Hitting the peak right after debut? More like hitting the grave right after debut.

On-chain withdrawal failures themselves are signals.

I bet it will break below the support level, and it will be exciting then.

FOMO is the biggest money burner, I definitely won't chase this wave.

It's the same old trick again, pumping in liquidity when liquidity is stuck? No thanks, I won't participate.

Really think you can escape the top? Turns out everyone is just a bagholder.

Isn't this just the perfect textbook for institutions to harvest retail investors?

High leverage will be liquidated soon, I can see it.

The moment the fee rate turns positive, it's time to run. You're still sleepwalking now.

Another liquidation drama, betting on who can run faster

I knew something was going to happen the moment liquidity got stuck

The FOMO energy this round is a bit scary, it feels like the meat grinder is already ready

Institutions are lurking so deeply, how can retail investors play? Looks like we're the bagholders

Negative fees are so tempting but even more dangerous, I've seen this trick played too many times

It's the same old trick again, still dare to push when liquidity is stuck? I don't believe this time can escape the top.

New coins are just casinos, everyone has to pay tuition to get in.

The funding rate is so inverted, it shows that smart money has already run away. Good luck to those left behind.

This wave of hype is incredible, but on-chain withdrawals are all stuck... why does no one care?

Contract double opening sounds great, but the moment of leverage liquidation is just too exciting.

I'll just watch quietly, wait for the support level to break, there are plenty of opportunities anyway.

Debuting at the peak? More like debuting as a dumping ground haha
