If you are still heavily invested in altcoins right now, I suggest you keep the following key points in mind:

1. Clear high leverage: Immediately remove all altcoin contract leverage (especially above 5x) to prevent liquidation.

2. Optimize positions: Convert some altcoins into Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH), avoid being fully invested in altcoins, and keep some USDC cash to maintain flexibility, allowing for both offense and defense!

Three steps for retail investors to save themselves, ensuring safety:

1. Decisively cut losses: Clear out high-risk coins (such as Meme coins, high unlocks, dead chains), and convert 50% to USDC or BTC.

2. Wait for signals: Pay attention to BTC dominance, ETH/BTC exchange rate, and Federal Reserve policies; do not heavily invest in altcoins before the trend is clear.

3. Select assets carefully: Only keep cash flow-based DeFi (such as AAVE, UNI), compliant RWA (such as ONDO), and technology leaders (such as SOL), and give up 'gambling' positions.

The market has shifted from the old rotation of 'Bitcoin bull → Altcoin bull' to the new logic of 'Institution accumulation → selective rise of quality projects.' Retail investors should either follow institutional investment (dollar-cost averaging in BTC/ETH) or take a sniper approach to accurately bet on altcoin survivors; the middle ground is the most dangerous.
