The term 'retail investors' is often mentioned in the cryptocurrency circle. However, there are very few contents that can truly think from the perspective of retail investors regarding market trends, coin selection, and timing.
In today's article, I won't talk about vague trends or shout false slogans. I will only tell you three things:
Which coins in the current market are being bought with real money by the main force;
How should retail investors ambush scientifically at this stage, without blind actions and missing opportunities;
In the upcoming bull market structure, how do you transform from 'the harvested' to 'the proactive player'.
What is the most genuine state of retail investors right now?
In the past month, I've received quite a few messages from old fans saying basically the same thing: 'Brother Hao, this market looks very hot, but I just can't make money. I didn't get in when it was rising, and I'm stuck when it falls.' This is actually the true portrayal of most retail investors:
Afraid to buy the bottom because nobody is calling it, afraid to chase the high, worried about becoming a victim, lacking patience to hold coins, running as soon as it rises, cutting losses as soon as it falls, being washed by the main force, gaining nothing when it rises and losing nothing when it falls.
The underlying core of these problems is just one: unclear about what stage the current market is in, what to buy, and how to hold it safely.
So today, let's change our perspective and clarify this wave of opportunities: which coins have already been quietly absorbed by the main force and are waiting for a wave of retail investors to take over and explode.
What stage is the current market in? How should retail investors judge 'whether to buy'?
I'll give you the answer in one sentence: This is the early stage of a bull market + mainstream coins are anchoring + sector rotation to the mid-level.
the critical moment.
What does it mean?
BTC breaks historical highs, institutions have fully entered the market (ETF, Grayscale, Wall Street).
ETH follows the rise, narrative intersects with AI + DePIN + RWA.
Funds are beginning to rotate into small and medium coins, narrative coins (MEME, L2, NFT).
Altcoins have entered the 'first wave of explosive growth phase' from the 'pre-embargo period'.
Where are the opportunities for retail investors?
It's about coins with narrative, capital, and technical fundamentals at the mid-level.
It's not just launched and nobody's touching it, nor is it the case that you only see it after it has increased 10 times, but rather: it has just stopped falling, institutions are quietly accumulating, the community is gradually becoming active, and the chart has just started. To put it more bluntly: if you dare to get on board now, the main force is willing to push it up.
Technical, capital, and narrative three-way resonance, the following 5 coins you should ambush in advance.
Here I provide a 'spot ambush checklist', all coins meet the following conditions:
1; has fallen over 70%, currently at a relatively low position;
2; quietly increased by whale wallets;
3; the chart has just broken out with volume;
4; has a clear narrative track and strong compliance with exchanges.
PYTH – The new generation of oracle explosion point.
Retail cognition: Can't understand what it does, easy to ignore;
Institutional logic: The oracle sector has just started to rebound, and PYTH's traffic is ahead;
Technical aspect: built for over 50 days, 0.28 has formed a large platform, and has now stabilized with volume;
Suggested strategy: Heavy position in the spot market, stop loss at 0.28, target 0.45 to 0.5;
Retail buying points are here, and it hasn't pumped yet, indicating that the chips haven't been absorbed enough.
MANTA – A rare opportunity with a low valuation Layer2.
Narrative direction: ZK compression computing + high-performance L2;
Chart structure: 0.9 bottom filled, currently challenging the 1.05 neckline;
Capital movement: Jump Capital publicly supports, large holders are obviously building positions on-chain;
Retail advantage: high liquidity, deep trading, not easily cut off;
TNSR – The king of trading markets in the NFT sector.
Story logic: 'Blur + MagicEden' in the Solana ecosystem;
Position: The initial launch has dropped, but the platform's trading volume continues to dominate the charts;
Main force actions: Paradigm is building positions, continuously injecting liquidity into the market;
Tip: FDV is relatively high, suitable for medium to short-term trend operations;
W – The leader of the Solana cross-chain bridge.
Functionality: Connecting liquidity hubs across chains;
Technical aspect: ranging from 0.95 to 1.10, accumulating for over two weeks;
Retail advantage: Low attention means larger ambush space;
Strategy: Buy at 1.02, take profit near 1.25 for rotation;
ONDO – A bridge connecting fiat currency and on-chain assets.
Narrative: RWA sector leader, US debt assets on-chain;
Compliance endorsement: Coinbase + SEC have a good relationship;
From the retail perspective: many people think there are no opportunities when they hear 'regulation' and 'government bonds';
But the main force prefers legal stories + large market cap mining, and you just happen to be able to ambush in the first wave;
How can retail investors ambush these coins with low risk? This is Brother Hao's advice:
Don't go all in on one coin; divide your funds into three parts: trend coins, sentiment coins, and defensive coins;
Set a stop-loss line, and don't waver: if it breaks the trend or support, exit in time; losing less is gaining;
Follow the rhythm of 'smart money': on-chain wallets, main force dynamics, social heat; don’t blindly trade with closed eyes;
Don't hold for too short a period: spot is not a contract; give projects time to earn the main rising wave;
Don't expect to buy at the lowest point; the key is to 'buy before the explosion'..
From 'the target of being harvested' to 'the forerunner of seizing chips', you just need one correct judgment.
Retail investors never lack information, what they lack is judgment and execution.
In this round of the bull market, the market is transitioning from mainstream consensus to narrative explosion, which is the golden window for retail investors to turn the tide.
You don't need to guess the ceiling; you just need to grasp the bottom chips. You don't need to chase the limit-up; you just need to enter the rotation coins in advance. You don't need to watch 'Douyin calls'; you just need to follow the main force's trajectory.
I, Brother Hao, wrote this article hoping to help you know in advance - these few coins, the main force has already bought; if you don't ambush now, next time you see it, it will be after a 10x increase.
