Recently, many people have been discussing the arrival of the Shanzhai season, but there are actually very few who can accurately predict market trends. However, looking at the current movement, Bitcoin has already stabilized at the $106,000 level during its rebound phase, and market sentiment is beginning to shift.

Regarding the evolution of a bull market, there is an interesting pattern worth considering — it always emerges from despair, skyrockets amid skepticism, and finally ends in nationwide frenzy. Can you feel these three stages in this cycle? Many now say that Bitcoin has risen so much, but from another perspective, gold and the US stock market have also seen significant gains. They are also, in a sense, "competitors" to the crypto market. The key point is that the crypto market itself still appears somewhat calm; a true bull market often requires the participation of mainstream altcoins. This cycle can be seen as a selection season for mainstream coins.

After the market fundamentals stabilize, Ethereum is expected to challenge the $5000 mark. Additionally, the Meme sector cannot be ignored, as its importance in this cycle is becoming increasingly prominent. Speaking of Meme leaders, DOGE is always a topic that cannot be avoided, while the potential of SHIB and PEPE is also worth paying attention to. The logic behind these coins is simple — since they follow behind the leaders, their gains could be even more fierce, and market momentum could be stronger.

Rather than watching the market every day, it’s better to wait for the moment when the mainstream altcoin selection season truly begins. The opportunity is right in front of you; the key is whether you have the patience to hold on.

BTC-1,95%

ETH-4,95%

DOGE1,01%

SHIB-1,06%

Born out of despair, soaring through doubt, truly impressive. Right now, we're probably somewhere in the middle. Wait, are gold and US stocks also rising? Then crypto really needs to step up. Can DOGE reach the Meme ceiling this wave? We'll see. Holding steady is the real winner; everything else is just talk. If Bitcoin stays above 11,000, what does that mean? The key is when the altcoins will truly take off. ETH hitting 5k is not a dream; the question is, is it too early to get in now? Rather than predicting, it's better to wait. The opportunity is right here; I just want to see who can resist chasing.

nah, this is basically just "follow the leader" with extra steps... except every time i see meme coins pumping, i remember 2022's bridge exploits wiping portfolios. the routing mechanics here are too fragmented fr fr

106000 stations stabilize and then want to take off like a copycat, thinking a bit beautifully Wait, is this really the mainstream coin selection season? Why does it feel like it's still bottoming out Doge is always so resistant to declines, I really admire it Is the birth of despair the beginning of a bull market? Is my current despair worth anything? Gold and US stocks are rising so fiercely, but crypto is still沉? That's a bit scary The celebration moment hasn't arrived yet, don't rush to get on board Is ETH really going to 5000? Can you believe it? Meme this round is indeed outrageous, does Shiba have a chance? It's not too late to act once the selection season unfolds, holding coins is tiring now

This wave really tests the mentality, from despair → doubt → madness, which stage are we at now? Just waiting for the copycat explosion, DOGE definitely still has a chance. Market predictions are all nonsense, I just believe ETH will hit 5k. People who watch the market every day always lose, really. The MEME sector is indeed fierce this round, more exciting than mainstream coins. Bitcoin staying steady at 106k feels like just the starting point; gold has risen so much, why can't coins? Following the trend of copycats is how you make money, but I dare not go all in. Only those who can endure can make money. We are still in the doubt stage, far from madness. 5k ETH is not an unrealistic goal, just wait and see. I’ve accumulated some SHIB and PEPE, just waiting for the big players to cut the leeks... no, to pump the market. Every time they say the opportunity is right in front of us, but we still have to wait. What’s the point of being calm? It’s just not the right time yet. I don’t understand why gold and US stocks are compared to coins; the logic is a bit off. Rather than waiting for mainstream copycats to select, it’s better to lay low and hold DOGE now.

Born out of despair, ending in madness, what level are we at now? Bitcoin has stabilized at 106k, but is this really the start of a bull market? Just the prelude. DOGE can't keep up with ETH's pace, I think it's questionable. Only when the leading altcoins truly move will I believe in a bull market. Rather than studying the selection season, it's better to go all-in on the MEME sector. A change has appeared amidst the sounds of despair, but most people haven't realized it yet. Patience and holding? Ha, the most tested aspect in this industry is human nature.
