Reflecting on this round of the bull market cycle, what stage are we currently in?
Stage One
Bitcoin is still the leader of the market. The big players in the market drive the overall trend of cryptocurrencies, but once Bitcoin's upward momentum slows or stops, other tokens will start to take over.
Stage Two
Solana (SOL), as the standout altcoin of this round of the bull market, is starting to rise. Some other major altcoins may follow, but the upward momentum is relatively weak—currently, the market is roughly in this stage.
Stage Three
Next, these tokens may take turns rising:
Mainstream memecoins: DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, WIF, BONK, POPCAT
Mainstream altcoins: RENDER, SUI, APT, LTC, etc.
Some tokens may perform relatively weakly, or their breakout may come later.
Stage Four
The dominant narrative of this stage will be the hottest themes: Memecoins, AI, RWA (real-world assets), etc., or combinations of these themes, such as AI memes and AI x DePIN, etc.
Stage Five
By this stage, low market cap tokens begin to rise rapidly, with fluctuations potentially occurring every hour. At this time, solid memecoins and fundamentally strong projects will present the best trading opportunities. Choose those tokens that perform the strongest, as the market often experiences volatile surges and drops.
Stage Six
Funds will start to flow back into Bitcoin, and the market gradually matures. At this point, changes and predictions of the cycle become increasingly difficult. Nevertheless, we still have time to seize opportunities in the next 5 to 9 months to make life-changing money.
