Recently, a series of cryptocurrencies known as "ancient coins", such as XRP, XLM, and $ADA, have achieved astonishing 5 to 10 times increases in a short period. This phenomenon has left many people confused. The reasons behind it are not only related to the favorable policy expectations after Trump's ascent to power but also reflect a clever selection strategy.

These ancient coins, during their long-term low-level fluctuations, have provided institutions with ample time to accumulate and achieve a high degree of control (K control). The project teams that have survived from the early days often possess strong financial backing, allowing them to weave attractive stories. However, accumulating chips and funds is not an easy task; it requires early planning during bear markets, which started one or two years ago.

The explosive rally is essentially a process of exchanging funds and chips. No matter who it is, no one can possess infinite bullets (funds) or chips. Therefore, achieving a high degree of control has become a necessary choice for low-cost price increases. If high control cannot be achieved, it would mean facing exponentially increasing costs. Those ancient coins that seem to be on the brink of zero may actually be quietly laying out this situation in the industry.

Once a high degree of control is achieved, the process of price increase becomes exceptionally easy, as retail investors (often referred to as 'chives') have almost no low-cost chips in hand. At this point, just a single piece of favorable news can attract retail investors to jump in. They may have overlooked these ancient coins before, but when the increase reaches 10 times, they will immediately worship and actively fantasize about even larger gains, even expecting another 10-fold explosion. Thus, a large number of retail investors buy in at high prices, becoming the targets for the big players to harvest.

The big players, by casually drawing K-line charts, not only slaughter the retail investors in the contract market but also conveniently distribute chips at high prices, achieving substantial profits. This series of operations may seem to violate the instincts of retail investors, but it profoundly reflects the basic logic of real financial activities. In this market, only by deeply understanding and adapting to these logics can one remain undefeated amidst the ever-changing market conditions.
