#数字资产动态追踪 Why are altcoins rotating, with PEPE leading the charge? A chart explains this wave of operational logic



Recently, it's been interesting—PEPE is skyrocketing, while Bitcoin remains stagnant. What's going on?

The fundamental reason boils down to two words: lack of money. The big drop in October directly wiped out a lot of market liquidity, and large-cap players have basically run out of bullets. Want to push Bitcoin? The market cap is too large, requiring an unrealistic amount of funds. So the smart money's choice is—shift to altcoins.

The interesting part of this wave is that the previous decline completely destroyed the bullish structure of many altcoins. Looking closely, Bitcoin has already fallen below the previous injection point, but altcoins haven't broken down. Why? There's no one below—no chips accumulated. The bears trying to dump can't find sellers, and the market structure itself is telling one thing—only upward movement.

Why specifically $PEPE? Several key factors stack up:

First, from a historical high, PEPE has already fallen quite hard; early holders are likely out, and the current cost basis is very light. Second, among similar coins, PEPE's market cap is relatively low, making it easier to push prices with the same amount of funds. Third, this is a coin with built-in topic attributes, easily attracting new capital.

Among the main tokens in the zoo concept, $PEPE has the lowest entry cost and the greatest room—making it a perfect target for capital. There are many similar examples in history; some hot coins last year rose this way, attracting a large number of retail investors.

Looking ahead three months, the probability of collective rotation among altcoins is quite high. Some mainstream altcoins may even hit new highs. The key is to understand your risk tolerance and fund size, and not be led by FOMO.

It's really broke, smart money is all piling into shanzhai projects. This wave definitely has mining value, the chip structure is laid out there. PEPE has the lowest startup cost, I respect that, retail investors are definitely going to jump in again. Wait a minute, could it be another pump scheme...

I'm truly convinced about the lack of funds; BTC just has too much volume. PEPE's recent dip indeed offers a low-cost bottom-fishing opportunity, but retail investors entering is just ridiculous. Let's watch and see, it's really hard to predict what will happen in three months. If it breaks the support level, it can still hold; this logic is a bit absolute. Capital rotation into altcoins is inevitable; the question is, who will be the final buyer?

Shortage of money this time is real; smart money is all piling into shanzhai projects. How did PEPE suddenly take off? I haven't even reacted yet. Wait, there's no one below, this logic is a bit interesting. It's the same old story, retail investors are still the last bagholders. Is it true that new highs can be reached in three months? It doesn't seem that simple. I just want to know how long PEPE can last; I hope it's not another scythe coin. Those early players at historical highs have already sold out; buying now is no different from chasing the high.

Short on money, no wonder the knockoffs are so restless Speaking of PEPE, it has low costs and few chips, making it an easy target to push But all the knockoffs taking off within three months? That’s a bit optimistic Stop talking, I am already dominated by FOMO

Hey, this wave of PEPE is really quite fierce, but don't get fooled in I'm just worried retail investors will be left holding the bag, smart money has already run Altcoin rotations are like this, with small capital amounts easily manipulated, it's totally a game for the big players Is PEPE cheap to buy? Uh... early investors are crying their eyes out Three-month new highs and such, just listen and forget about it, don't FOMO

Wow, PEPE this time is really a lucky catch I didn't think about the angle of lacking money, but it makes sense Is it another round of cutting leeks? Feels like it Have the early ones already run away? Then dare to chase now? I bet on a wave of altcoins taking off within three months

Lack of money is indeed a big problem. I saw through this wave of PEPE rise long ago. When liquidity dries up, you can only speculate on copycats, nothing surprising about that. PEPE is just a perfect prey. When the sell-off happens and no one steps in, it naturally pushes upward. But brothers, really don't chase highs. When retail investors enter, it's often time to exit.

If you're short on cash, just dump into the clone projects. This trick is old news. Honestly, this round of PEPE is just because funds have nowhere to go. PEPE has low costs and plenty of room for growth. Isn't this just a perfect way to harvest retail investors? Three months of clone project rotations? I'll just watch quietly. Don't FOMO, brother. Stay calm.
