The recent market conditions are indeed perplexing. The two largest market weights, Bitcoin and Ethereum, continue to be under pressure, and the overall market sentiment is relatively cold. However, strangely enough, there are always some small altcoins that are flying against the wind; their prices not only refuse to fall but are rising all the way up. This bizarre phenomenon is worth a careful analysis.

On the surface, these coins' "independent trends" seem to reflect some kind of value. But if you look deeper, you'll find that the real drivers pushing the entire market upward are usually associated with an overall improvement in market sentiment, rather than only a few assets indulging in self-delusion while the mainstream assets are under pressure across the board. Behind this "one branch in bloom" phenomenon, there is often a hidden fact of highly concentrated chips—in other words, genuine upward momentum comes from the deliberate manipulation by major holders.

Why choose this particular timing to act? The timing is very deliberate. When the market falls into panic, many investors naturally hedge risks by shorting. At this moment, boosting those assets with relatively low liquidity is akin to placing a "bait" right above the heads of the bears. Although the market cap is small, the opponents are already poised for action, waiting to strike at high levels. Traders following the trend find it hard to see through this layered layout.

In simple terms, this is not a process of value discovery but a carefully orchestrated harvesting operation. Concentrated chips, clever timing, unprepared opponents—these elements together form the perfect standard setup for a "hunt."
