In fact, the surge in 2021 was not that significant; the large multiples, even dozens of times increase were only concentrated in a few sectors, mainly in new public chains, gaming, the metaverse, and MEME. At that time, DEFI also just went a bit crazy and then ended. In the second half of the year, DEFI played dead. Of course, this doesn’t mean that there were no profit opportunities in DEFI, but the major profit opportunities were in public chains, gaming, the metaverse, and MEME.
At the beginning of 2023, the major surge opportunities were in public chains, AI, and MEME; PEPE was born around that time. Meanwhile, the metaverse and gaming slowly fell out of favor. Of course, that doesn’t mean there were no profitable trading opportunities.
From the end of 2023 to the beginning of this year, the major surge opportunities were in AI, public chains, and MEME. Remember WIF, BONK? That was when they came about. DEFI also had Pendle that surged impressively, while others performed mediocrely. At this point, the metaverse is a thing of the past, and gaming only had a slight increase.
Currently, we are experiencing this wave. I don't need to elaborate further. Therefore, in Q1 of next year, if a big market trend is expected, the major surges, without any liquidity injection, will still be in new and old public chains, AI, and MEME.
Of course, there are also new conceptual sectors, such as RWA, Depin, etc., like AI + MEME, AI + Depin, etc. As for others, there are still trading opportunities. That's about it.
