Honestly, in the current market, who is making money and who is losing best reflects the market direction.



Recently, on-chain data has been quite interesting—there's a team playing short positions on $PEPE that keeps adding to their bets, and they have already made over 81 million this year. In contrast, large traders blindly going long on altcoins have lost more than 42.7 million. This gap is not a small number and clearly indicates the temperature difference in market sentiment.

My view is that the Meme sector has become a bit overhyped in this round of the market. Profits are piled up, and the continuous increase of large short positions on-chain is a clear risk signal. It's not just a simple pullback; it looks more like funds are consciously shifting to other sectors—high-quality projects in AI, RWA, and on-chain derivatives are being smartly positioned early. Looking at the high-position short holdings of new tokens like $LIT makes the logic even clearer.

So, what’s the next step? A few suggestions:

First, don’t chase after Meme coins that surge in the short term. The game of hot potato has almost played out; entering now is basically taking the last hand.

Second, focus on value narratives at low levels. After sufficient correction, gradually enter positions in fundamentally solid assets and accumulate over time.

Finally, keep your positions flexible. Better to miss a wave than get caught in a trap. Keep some powder dry and wait until the market truly panics before taking action.

The data is right here; emotions cannot change reality. I mentioned this risk as early as last week, and the actual actions of on-chain whales have once again validated this judgment. Markets tend to turn when they reach a frenzy peak, and new opportunities emerge when everyone is most panicked. The most important thing now is to stay clear-headed and wait for the wind to come.

Smart money has long withdrawn; those still chasing Meme are just bagholders. It's another scenario where shorts make big profits and longs suffer big losses. We've seen this pattern too many times; it's time to learn. Whale holdings don't lie, and AI and RWA are the next big things. Thinking about entering Meme coins now? Wake up, the game of hot potato has lost its rhythm. Save some bullets; wait for panic to set in before jumping out. That’s the right way to live. The data speaks for itself. I saw this trend coming long ago; now it's just about confirming it. Don’t chase highs; low-value narratives are the real key. Be patient.

It's that same old "smart money is shifting," which sounds nice but actually just means they're afraid of missing the AI train. Shorts made 81 million, which is impressive, but how many people will survive by flipping to RWA at the bottom? Uh... wait, isn't this the same logic a big influencer mentioned last week? This round of Meme has indeed passed. The bagholders should now be regretting their guts out. I've truly never seen so many people rush in the same direction.

Talking about meme coins again, I'm already tired of it. Did the short team make that much money? Ha, I want to see a good show. Wait, you said smart money is moving into AI and RWA? The projects in these two sectors have been overhyped for a long time. Isn't entering now just taking on the bag? By the way, PEPE shorting for 81 million is indeed impressive, but let's not be too superstitious about the data. The market can reverse in the next second. Flexibility in position sizing is reliable; it's better to earn less than to be fully invested and get caught. I've experienced this a few times. Staying alert and waiting for the wind is right, but don't wait to chase the high either. The market is always smarter than you.
