Recently, trading volume has been sluggish, but I've noticed that many old-school altcoins are starting to show signs of movement. Bitcoin is still fluctuating, while Ethereum has surged to the 3000 mark. Does this indicate that the window for altcoin rotation is about to open?

Starting with Ethereum's lead, will it drive other small-cap coins to take turns attacking? Or perhaps old altcoins like pepe, neiro, and pengu just need to maintain volume and upward momentum for a few days in a row, and the trend will reverse. We can't keep being greedy and short anymore—if that's the case, a large-scale rebound might really be brewing.

Hey, ETH is showing some potential this time. It really feels like it's the turn for small-cap coins.

Ha, I’ve been waiting for Ethereum to hit 3000 this round. The key is whether the trading volume cooperates; otherwise, it’s just a false alarm. Old scammer rotation? Cough, I’ve made enough money on my three kids’ milk powder, but do the project teams behind Pepe and those other projects even know what they’re doing? If the volume isn’t enough, don’t even think about it. I’d rather use that money for fork arbitrage and eat steadily. Starting to chase empty again? How are those who were bearish last time doing now? What sounds good is called a reversal, but in reality, it’s just chasing high and taking over. The old hands are all watching. Is the market brewing? First, check if the contract code is safe before bragging. That’s basic operation.

Starting this routine again, let's see if I can catch it and then decide.

Ethereum's recent move is indeed interesting, but I still don't dare to chase, afraid it's just a trap to lure more buyers. That group of old coins like pepe keeps saying it's about to take off, but what happened... they're still crawling on the ground. A rebound without enough volume is just false hope, I can see that. Whether this round can rise depends on when BTC makes up its mind; a surge to 3000 for Ethereum doesn't mean much.

Here we go again. Every time ETH hits a new high, everyone starts talking about rotation. And what’s the result? Still a mess of broken pieces. Is the trading volume of that old scam even worth getting excited about? I think it’s normal for it to keep falling. Pepe, Neiro, and those, should have cooled off long ago. Stop messing around.

Here we go again. I'm tired of hearing this kind of "window opening" argument every time. And yet, it suddenly takes a nosedive.
