This flavor does feel a bit familiar. Remember last October's wave? The central bank printed tens of billions in liquidity, and as a result, MEME coins like DOGE took off. Now they've printed another 2 billion, and PEPE is leading the rally again. Is this just a coincidence?

Why do MEME coins always react first? Basically, because retail investors form the largest base. These kinds of tokens can quickly boost market sentiment and increase overall liquidity. Once the sentiment is up and funds become more active, a chain reaction naturally follows.

But there's a phenomenon to watch out for—funds flowing out of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Yes, outflow. Although the market looks lively, the capital flow in mainstream coins is actually weakening. What does this mean? It indicates that the current inflow of money is more about speculating on sentiment and chasing returns, rather than genuine confidence in the fundamentals.

Following the rhythm, institutions are likely to start cashing out before the Spring Festival. After retail investors take over the positions, you can probably guess what happens next. So, the key is to clearly understand your position and not get caught up in emotional impulsiveness.

DOGE-4,15%

MEME-2,51%

PEPE-4,04%

BTC-2,27%

Coming back with this again? I was cut once last October. This time, with PEPE taking off, I'm still on the sidelines. The outflow of mainstream coins is too obvious a signal.

Wait a minute, BTC and ETH are flowing out, which is a bit cowardly. The market looks exciting, but the big players are actually pulling out?

Here we go again? I heard this kind of argument last year, and as a result, DOGE still doubled ten times, and I lost everything. Now they say BTC and Ethereum are flowing out, but I feel like I'm always chasing the high.

Here we go again. I can guess this routine with my eyes closed. BTC and ETH funds are flowing out, and we're still here picking up the bag.

Hmm, this tactic is really a bit old. It's always MEME coins leading the charge, with mainstream coins secretly leaking out, while retail investors are still cheering here.

actually, per my analysis... the memecoin taxonomy here is precisely what you'd expect from a liquidity injection event. data suggests memes outperform because they occupy the lowest barrier-to-entry niche in the evolutionary hierarchy, statistically speaking

Damn, it's the same old trick again. MEME coins rise first to trigger retail investors to buy in, while mainstream coins are flowing out? Isn't this just preparing for cashing out? We're about to take the final hit again.

Coming back with this again? BTC and ETH outflows are just the prelude to institutions running away. Meanwhile, retail investors are still there picking up the pieces.

Coming with this again? BTC ETH are flowing out, but I haven't seen it. Are you sure you're not just bearish?
