Recently, Chinese MEME coins have experienced a collective surge. Is this truly a value discovery behind it, or just a market sentiment game?

Looking at the data, it's quite exaggerated—after a major exchange's ecosystem coin was launched, the entire MEME sector surged: leading projects increased by nearly 40%, and follow-up coins also saw double-digit gains. On the surface, it seems like a resonance of value, but in reality, it's mostly driven by liquidity. A move by a major platform can cause the entire sector to rise in unison.

The problem is, this kind of rally often comes quickly and goes just as fast. The sector lacks depth and sustainability, relying entirely on narrative hype to sustain itself. As more people enter, real liquidity can't keep up, and price volatility becomes extremely fierce. Early entrants may profit, but the risk for those who buy in later is very high.

Don't be fooled by the K-line. To truly understand the rhythm, you need to pay attention to platform dynamics, capital flow, and other details, rather than blindly chasing highs. Recognizing risks and making rational arrangements are more important than anything else.

MEME-2,28%

It's the same old story, just a liquidity game --- A 40% increase, do you really think it's value? LOL --- If I had known earlier, the bagholders would always get cut later --- When the platform moves, the entire sector follows, this is the fate of MEME coins --- Don't chase the high, I say this every time, but some still rush in --- Fund flow is the real thing, K-line charts are just deceptive nonsense --- Lack of depth is a minefield, it will collapse sooner or later --- Maintaining narrative hype? Sounds like an air coin to me --- Comes quickly, goes even faster, I am a victim --- Rational allocation sounds comfortable, but who really does it

It's the same old story. When big platforms move, everyone follows suit, turning into a complete money-grabbing machine.

Here we go again with the same rhetoric... Clearly, it's the big players manipulating the market. Are you still pretending to be rational? --- 40% increase? I already bought in early, now I'm trapped and waiting for a breakout. --- Damn it, another article titled "Recognize the Risks and Strategically Invest." How come you guys just can't learn? --- The day liquidity dries up will be the day I go bankrupt. Just wait and see. --- Now you're saying the risk is high? Why didn't you say so earlier? When FOMO was at its peak. --- Jealous when seeing others make money, distressed when losing money—this is the crypto world, haha. --- When the platform moves, the entire sector follows. That's the most terrifying part. Who the hell can escape? --- Paper hands are just paper hands. Anyway, I won't make much money, just for fun. --- Got cut again. Next time, I'll definitely be rational... Who would believe that?

A 40% increase sounds great, but the real hell is when liquidity can't keep up. --- Once a platform moves, the whole market follows. How long can this persistence last? --- Early investors made a killing, and those later are just picking up the leftovers—same old trick. --- Maintaining narrative hype? Listen to that phrase; it's all just hype. --- Instead of chasing highs, it's better to watch the capital flow. That's correct. --- Daring to rush in without enough depth? No wonder people get chopped up. --- A 40% increase is just a liquidity game; nothing new. --- The sector's sustainability is so weak—who dares to hold heavy positions? The risk is off the charts. --- Don't be fooled by the K-line; it's easy to talk, but who wouldn't be greedy when doing it? --- When a major platform moves, the entire sector follows—this is what market sentiment gaming looks like.

actually, this is just textbook liquidity illusion masquerading as discovery. let me break it down—when exchange listing happens, you're not seeing organic demand, you're watching concentrated supply shock meet momentum traders. the math doesn't lie here: 40% pumps on thin order books = volatility cascade waiting to happen, ceteris paribus everything else stays constant

Here comes another wave of rug pulls... Should have known it would turn out like this --- 40% increase? Haha, get ready to be crushed --- Basically, it's the big players blowing bubbles, and retail investors catching the bag --- It's always the same, after the explosion, it dies out. Getting a bit tired of it --- Liquidity is a joke, those who follow behind will end up losing out --- I just want to know who will be the last to take the final hit --- The hype won't last long, see you next week --- Playing MEME coins is all about psychological games. Don't get yourself involved --- Watching the trend of certain coin next door, you basically understand the ending --- When the platform makes a move, the sector follows suit, all just trying to take money out of our pockets

Hmm... it's just another liquidity game. I should have known this trick earlier.
