【FGI 71, Do you believe it? Anyway, when I believed it last time, I lost a car】

Back in May 2021, that wave sent DOGE to nearly $0.075, and FGI also hit 71. Everyone was shouting, "DOGE to a dollar," and I got carried away too. Looking back now, how many of the people who chased it last time are still holding without being cut?

As for this FGI thing—plainly speaking, it’s just a thermometer for market sentiment, not a price chart. A 71 means, "Everyone’s having a good time." But the real question is: who exactly is having fun? The new green investors who just jumped in, or the old dogs who were already lying in wait?

DOGE is down 87% from its peak. Now it’s bouncing, and the FGI climbs right along—this script is way too familiar. People who are trapped finally see hope, start yelling about a "break-even rally," but the ones who make the real big money have already started to run.

Today DOGE is -7.6%, and the FGI is still at 71. Don’t you find that contradictory? On the surface, sentiment is still greedy, but the price is already starting to retreat.

So what’s the logic when you put it into practice? Dogecoin has no real use case. It’s basically a piece in a capital-game. When the macro environment worsens (U.S. Treasury yields hit a new high since 2007) and liquidity tightens, high-risk assets get hit first. It’s not that DOGE is suddenly no good—it's that the whole market’s tide is going out. Whose bubble is biggest is the first to pop.

DOGE is down 87% from its ATH. Its bubble already burst early. But the problem is—without fundamentals to support it, rebounds are still being used by people who want to escape their positions.

Does the business logic make sense? Yes. Dogecoin’s business logic is, "there’s no business logic." It’s valuable because someone is willing to trade it, and it crashes because the trading is over. So this downturn isn’t really Dogecoin’s own problem—it’s high-risk assets getting collectively pressured. But if you’re still holding DOGE and waiting for the next wave, remember to watch when U.S. Treasury yields stabilize—otherwise even if it bounces, it may just be your chance to run.

What kind of mindset do you have right now? Are your hands itching? #DOGE #加密市场 #EDEL #market-feel
