Have you noticed this pattern: the ICO frenzy in 2017, the DeFi explosion in 2020, the competition among public chains in 2021, the bear market silence in 2022, and the meme coin carnival in 2023...
The market is always cyclical; behind every wave, there are hints of the next opportunity.
If you only want to make quick money, just chase the trends.
But if you aim for the long term, you must anticipate trends in advance and lay out your plans quietly.
Real capital and seasoned players often plan a year in advance, lay low six months ahead, and secure their positions three months early, then quietly wait for the winds to change.
If you think they are just lucky, you are mistaken.
They were just a step ahead – it is this half-step that allowed them to surpass 90% of people in the market.
Wealth never arises in noise, but quietly sprouts at the moment when 'others have not realized, you have already understood.'
One, Federal Reserve interest rate cuts: expectations land, how will the market unfold?
Recently, the market trend has warmed up, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut expectations have injected momentum into the market.
However, when the decision to cut rates by 25 basis points was actually implemented, the market rose sharply and then fell back, not showing the explosive growth many expected.
New investors may feel confused, but veterans understand: the market trades on expectations.
Previously, Bitcoin rose from 80,000 to 90,000, which had already digested the benefits of interest rate cuts.
Once the news is clear, funds have already completed their layout.
Therefore, the real opportunity often arises at the beginning of expectation formation, rather than after the news is announced.
Two, the real face of this year's market
This year's market has not been friendly for most investors.
More than 60% of people feel 'repeatedly baptized,' the market is like a carefully choreographed script:
First, use bad news to drive down prices, forcing retail investors to sell at the bottom, while the main force takes the opportunity to accumulate, then releases good news to pull up prices – many people are thus 'arranged' clearly.
But there are still people making continuous profits.
What did they do right?
The answer is: they saw the changes in market rules clearly.
If your thinking remains stuck in the past, believing that 'holding on will solve the problem' or 'holding will lead to easy wins,' you are likely to become a target for harvesting.
Many people's assets have severely shrunk simply because they did not realize – the market leaders have changed.
Three, who is leading the market? Wall Street giants have entered the arena
Today's crypto market is no longer just a battlefield for geeks and retail investors.
With traditional financial giants like BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Fidelity all laying out plans, the 'elephant' on Wall Street has begun to dance.
This is like the internet evolving from initial forum communication to an indispensable infrastructure for enterprises.
These institutions are perceptive and well-capitalized; the market in the first half of this year was largely driven by them.
Even the Ethereum Foundation has begun to adjust its holdings according to market rhythm.
If we continue to use old thinking to deal with new situations, how can we not be eliminated by the market?
Many analyses are still limited to historical trends and short-term fluctuations, but fail to touch the essence.
History repeatedly tells us: every round of interest rate cuts will spur an explosion in the asset market.
This time is no exception.
Four, current opportunities and mindset
Currently, the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, and other places are continuing to advance the regulation of crypto assets, and many countries have approved cryptocurrency ETFs. Long-term capital such as pension funds, university funds, and listed companies are starting to systematically allocate Bitcoin.
This signifies an important turning point: the next round of rises will be led by institutional funds, and the market will move towards a more mature and long-term pattern.
In such an environment, what we need to do is:
Choose the right targets, make a plan, find the right timing, and lay out calmly.
Many people's anxiety stems from being driven by market emotions – fearing missing out when prices rise, fearing deep losses when they fall, blindly chasing hot spots when they come, and being at a loss when they retreat.
The real dilemma often lies not in the market, but in the heart.
Unable to let go of the past, it is also difficult to grasp the future, and in the end, even the present is operated incorrectly.
When the market goes wrong, the funds also scatter.
Despite the complex environment, please remember: regulation is for long-term norms, and opportunities are always nurtured after adjustments.
In 2017, before the bull market after regulation, it was remarkably similar to the present.
Liquidity will eventually return, opportunities will reappear, but only those with a stable mindset and clear pace can traverse cycles and continue to grow.
The market is always changing, narratives are constantly updated, but honing one's character and maintaining stability is the foundation for ordinary people to become winners in cycles.
Five, walk with the wise and grasp the future
The world is vast, the waves are just beginning, and anything is possible.
I set goals for myself every year. After more than ten years in the industry, even in the most difficult market, I can always achieve them in advance.
In 2023, we laid out ORDIs early in the rise of inscriptions, with returns exceeding 300 times;
In 2024, the on-chain hotspot BOME once again captured a hundredfold increase;
In April this year, we led the community to dollar-cost average mainstream coins, all of which yielded multiple returns;
Recently focused MYX has also started from a low point, with a maximum increase of over a hundred times.
Seeing the direction clearly and choosing the right targets is the unchanging winning formula in this market.
Currently, some currencies that the community is focusing on have stable trends, and opportunities still exist.
An individual's income often depends on the circle they are in. If you have not yet grasped the era's dividends, perhaps it is because you have not found the right path – improving your cognition is necessary to match your ambitions.
The community has started to absorb a lot of fresh blood this month, preparing a lot of valuable benefits and a list of potential currencies.
No one can guarantee how many times it will rise, but it is certainly the most stable currency in the current market environment, and once the market starts, it will be the strongest trend.
For those who want to keep up with the thinking, there is someone in the chat room!
