The market has been a bit lively these past few days. A newly launched token surged by 12% against the trend, and there are many voices on the square calling for spot trading. But honestly, while watching the excitement, you also need to stay calm and think carefully.

Here's a sobering statistic: less than 10% of projects successfully transition from incubation zones to spot trading, and most are just fleeting moments. Don't let the wave of price increases ignite your emotions; otherwise, you might go all-in and end up losing everything.

There's also a more practical issue—whale holdings are highly concentrated. What does this mean? It means they could sell off at any time and cause a dump. So no matter how optimistic you are about a coin, setting take-profit and stop-loss levels is absolutely essential.

Lastly, looking at the big picture in 2026, the institutional bull market is a fact. But Meme coins, which are purely driven by consensus, are essentially short-term trading tools, not value investment targets. Don’t confuse the two.

A 12% increase has got people all worked up; this mindset really needs adjustment. I've seen many tricks in the incubation zone, nine out of ten fail. Don't ask me how I know. When a whale dumps, you have no reaction time left, and you still go all-in? Serves you right. Meme coins are just casino chips; stop looking for excuses to call them value investments. Another new coin, another wave of people about to suffer heavy losses—it's a never-ending cycle.

A 12% increase and you want to go all in? Wake up, everyone. When a whale dumps, it's too late to cry. Meme coins are just gambling; don't treat them as investments. Dare to go all in with only a 10% success rate? Blaming not setting stop-losses is pointless; it's your own fault. Consensus coins can't hold up the bull market; this time, it's really over.

Here we go again, shouting "Chong Chong Chong" at a 12% increase. I've seen this trick many times. 10% success rate, brother. Are you willing to bet on it? Whales can dump at any time, and we're just the bagholders. This understanding is crucial. Meme coins, to put it simply, are casino chips. Don't treat them as treasures to dig up.

A 12% increase has everyone excited, and those who dare to go all-in must be crying their eyes out now. How can some people still confuse Meme with real projects? Can these two be the same? With only a 10% success rate, you still keep rushing in. I'm speechless. When a whale dumps the market, the retail investors just become fertilizer. Where is the promised stop-loss? How did everyone forget about it?

Nap warning, someone is about to go all-in again... I almost have the 10% success rate data memorized, and every time someone acts like they can't hear it. When a whale dumps, it's really just a matter of a second, you can't react in time, and there's no time to pay the gas fee. To be honest, meme coins are just a gamble. Take a 20-30% profit and run. If you insist on non-stop trading, then just wait to be harvested. I don't have that big of a heart.

Another 12% increase, and a bunch of people are going all-in. I just knew it would turn out like this. I've looked at the 90% failure rate data three times, and each time I can't help but calculate how much gas fee I would lose to buy the dip. As for the whale concentration holdings, I don't even need to look at on-chain data anymore; I can imagine their dump moment with my eyes closed. So, the more tightly you set your stop-loss, the better; otherwise, your account could go negative overnight. Meme coins are short-term trading tools, there's no doubt about that—it's just a matter of how many people can actually listen. The institutional bull market in 2026 is indeed coming, but don't be blinded by consensus, or you'll end up as the bagholder.

A 12% increase... once again, it's a case of survivor bias. The more people watch, the fewer who survive. History is repeating itself, cycles are recurring. Stop-loss is truly a lesson learned through blood and tears. Meme coins are just a thermometer of market sentiment; don't treat them as faith. 2026 will indeed be different, but the rules haven't changed — there are always more greedy people than smart ones. At the moment the whale dumps, how many people realize they have no idea what they are holding. Silence is golden, and exiting the market is also a strategy.

A 12% increase and you start going all in? I really can't hold back. --- 10% success rate, this data is intense. Looks like quite a few people still need to pay tuition. --- Massive whales are concentrated in their holdings. I wonder who dares to hold heavy positions. --- Meme coins are just gambling tools. Don't dress them up with any value investing skin. --- Have you set your stop-losses, everyone? Don't regret it only after the dump. --- This round of spot buying probably means more cutting losses. Same old routine. --- What you said is correct, but no one is listening haha. --- Even institutional bulls can't change the essence of memes; it's still a short-term game. --- Getting excited over a 12% move, really tough skin. --- Whales can run at any time. What are you betting on?
