The market experienced an unexpected strong rebound over the past week. Bitcoin and Ethereum advanced together, and altcoins also followed suit. The rebound early in this bear market was indeed astonishing.

However, it is important to be cautious, as this round of rebound in Q1 essentially serves as a window for exiting positions. Especially for friends holding a lot of altcoins, it's really time to clear your positions during this rally and not wait for a market correction to get caught. Meanwhile, US stocks are experiencing increased volatility, and market analysts expect that after SpaceX's listing in the second half of the year, US stocks may face bearish pressure, which could trigger a chain reaction across all risk assets.

In terms of hotspots, the market's main focus is now very clear—MEME coins are the real highlight at the moment. Ethereum-based tokens like PEPE, NEIRO, FLOKI, and BRETT have been rising steadily, with PEPE maintaining a dominant position. Market predictions suggest its market cap could surpass SHIB. At the same time, the strengthening ETH/BTC exchange rate has also fueled the Ethereum ecosystem.

The Solana ecosystem is also not to be outdone, with BONK, BOME, PENGU, USELESS, and PONKE taking turns to surge. Especially, BONK's launch platform partnered with the stablecoin USD1, and the project team has also launched a $130 million incentive plan. This move has led the market to speculate that there may be significant capital inflows on-chain.

Tokens like 714, 4, and HAKIMI in the BSC ecosystem are also rising. The market is waiting to see when a major platform will launch a Chinese MEME coin. Additionally, the so-called "whale stocks" MYX and IP are also surging in the short squeeze, with rumors suggesting that IP might delay its large unlock.

Under this rhythm, the rotation effect in the MEME sector will continue, but remember—timely take profits is the key.

Once again, it's that "exit window" talk, I'm tired of hearing it... --- MEME coins are gaining momentum, and it's getting more and more intense. Who can still withstand it? --- Can PEPE surpass SHIB? I doubt it, but right now, many are jumping on the bandwagon. --- The Solana ecosystem is also joining the fun this round. With 130 million in incentives poured in, it depends on whether they can find buyers later. --- It's easy to say take profits in time, but when the moment comes, everyone wants to hold on a little longer. --- Is the US stock market about to enter a bear phase? Then the crypto market might shake along with it... --- Clearing out altcoins is truly advisable. I've been trapped too many times myself. --- Now, it all depends on when a major platform will list Chinese MEME coins—that will be the real hot spot. --- BONK and BOME are soaring together. It feels like a rug pull isn't far off. --- The strength of ETH/BTC is real; the Ethereum ecosystem has indeed been making a strong push recently.

It's the same old story, the exit window period? I think it's more like the window period for harvesting profits. --- MEME coins are rotating so quickly, how many actually make money? Most are just being cut. --- That 130 million incentive for BONK sounds impressive, but wait and see who gets trapped. --- Talking about taking profits in time is easy, but who can really do it... --- If you need to clear out altcoins, what about MEME coins? Isn't that contradictory? --- PEPE surpassing SHIB? Haha, just another prediction.

Rebound is rebound, but I took a quick look at the contract code of this wave of MEME coins. The permission control design is a mess. Don't just focus on the price increase and ignore the risk of reentrancy vulnerabilities. To put it plainly, the timing of exiting the market is quite accurate, but the problem is that most people can't tell which projects are genuine and which are just waiting to be sniped. I previously audited similar incentive contracts, and once the scale reaches $1.3 billion, integer overflow can be disastrous. Taking profits in time is correct, but first you need to confirm that you're not buying a contract upgrade trap with broken permission control. For counterfeit coins, I strongly recommend running formal verification before deploying on-chain. Don't wait until it blows up to regret it. Everyone is shouting about the leaders, but I see that the contract deployment of these new MEME coins generally lacks sufficient audit coverage, and there are hidden dangers.

It's the same story about the exit window again, I'm tired of hearing it. MEME is indeed popular, but it feels like it's all been manipulated by the whales. How did Solana suddenly surge? It was dead cold before. I've already sold off the fake coins and jumped in, just waiting to see who runs faster. Are the US stocks really going to crash? It all feels like guesswork. Timing take-profit sounds nice, but when it comes to actually taking profits, we're all caught in the trap. This rebound is really strong, but I still feel like something's not quite right.

Take advantage of the window period to quickly clear your positions; don't get caught holding the bag. MEME is back to cut the leeks again, take profits, take profits, take profits. Solana is really hot right now, BONK has taken off, indeed. The rebound of altcoins is purely a honey trap for exiting, time to clear your positions. The US stock market is expected to crash in the second half of the year; this rebound is really an opportunity window. PEPE is super SHIB? That's a bit exaggerated, let's wait and see. When will the Chinese MEME coin on BSC come? Waiting to cut my wallet. Taking profits is the real way to make money; the greedy ones have all been caught.

Oh my god, is PEPE really about to surpass SHIB this time? I need to run quickly. Taking profits is easy to say... I always want to catch the top. Are we really going to liquidate all the altcoins this time? I feel a bit reluctant. BONK's 130 million incentive plan is amazing; it's like throwing money to grab market share. The pressure from the US stock bear market is indeed a bit panic-inducing. What to do when the chain reaction of risk assets starts? The ETH ecosystem taking off is truly unexpected, and SOL is still catching up. MEME rotation never stops... but I've already been caught by PEPE once. Will Chinese MEME coins go live? Waiting for news from top platforms, feels like another opportunity. Timely profit-taking is the key... but who can really do it? I can't.

Rebound is a rebound, don’t be blinded by the madness of MEME, clearing your positions is the hard truth. --- PEPE is starting to struggle, can super SHIB really outperform the bear market pressure of the US stock market? --- 1.3 billion in incentives poured in, what is BONK trying to do? It all feels a bit suspicious. --- I really don’t understand those coins on BSC; the Chinese MEME coin track is too competitive. --- Take profits in time. This sounds good in theory, but when it comes down to it, I can’t bear to sell. That’s just who I am. --- The successive surges in the Solana ecosystem feel like a signal that the next one might be the bag holder. --- The US stock market is heading into a bear market, so how long can this wave of MEME coins last? --- I really should clear out the altcoins I hold, but I also want to gamble on a super double return. --- IP unlock delay? That move is a bit interesting, like they’re forcing a short squeeze on themselves.

It's another profit-taking event. I just want to know who has actually taken profits. MEME is really aggressive this time, but it feels like everyone is chasing the high. I'm a bit scared. Wait, is the 1.3 billion incentive for BONK really reliable? I'm tired of clearing out altcoins; I say this every time. ETH ecosystem is taking off, it feels like SOL is about to bottom out. Another exit window, is it the same as last time? PEPE surpassing SHIB? I remain skeptical, brother. Is this rebound really just a window of opportunity, or is it truly about to take off? Is the pressure of the US stock bear market real? It all feels like rumors. On the day the Chinese MEME coin launched, retail investors should have already run.

Take advantage of the rebound to clear out positions; this wave has improved your insight. PEPE has really stabilized as the leader, surpassing SHIB without suspense. Solana is also going crazy, and BONK is surging fiercely. But don't be greedy; taking profits in time is the most reliable.
