While Bitcoin fluctuates around the 60,000 mark, many people are fixated on K-line charts, agonizing over 'Is it still worth entering now?' but fail to realize that the true wealth code lies hidden in the seams of sector rotation. Seven years of deep cultivation in the crypto market have taught me: the core opportunities in a bull market are never found in 'the already sky-high leaders,' but in the niche sectors that hold explosive potential. Today, I will break down the seven sectors in this bull market worthy of layout, each accompanied by a practical analysis of 'potential and risk coexistence,' so that by the end, you can avoid at least five pitfalls.
1. New Public Chains: Where is the next SOL-level opportunity?
Public chains will always be the main theme of a bull market. The SOL and AVAX of 2021, and the SEI of 2023 have already proven that 'new public chains = new wealth codes,' but the differentiation in this year's new public chain sector will be particularly pronounced.
TON is the most controversial existence, with obvious signs of capital control; its fluctuations are as precise as a scalpel—this type of coin will either double in a week or leave you standing at a high point. You can follow the whales, but you must set your stop-loss firmly 5% below the cost line; whales never notify when they offload.
Zatachain and Saga belong to 'small but beautiful' potential stocks, with a market cap of around 300 million just right in the 'doubling safety zone,' avoiding excessive regulatory scrutiny while leaving enough room for upside. Especially Saga, as a rising star in the Cosmos ecosystem, comes with cross-chain narrative genes, suitable for holding onto the spot until the ecosystem explodes; don’t let short-term fluctuations shake you out.
Sui and Sei represent the competition of 'high-performance public chains.' Sui's technical strength is beyond doubt, but Sei's 1.4 billion circulating market cap needs market sentiment to reach a crazy level for a 10x rise. Short-term trading can be done in waves, but long-term caution is necessary. The core logic of new public chains is 'speed of ecological landing'; those that constantly announce good news but fail to see DApps launched are essentially air coins.
2. Bitcoin Ecosystem: Who will take over after the inscription tide recedes?
The recent pullback in the Bitcoin ecosystem has scared many people away, but real opportunities often arise 'after a halving.'
The surge of CKB last week was not a coincidence; the rollout of the RGB++ protocol transformed it from 'cold storage' to a 'potential player in the Bitcoin ecosystem.' This type of coin is suitable for phased accumulation, with a pullback of 10%-15% being a good entry point. As long as the enthusiasm for the Bitcoin ecosystem does not fade, the story can continue.
The synchronized drop of STX and Alex seems more like an unjustified sell-off caused by the market. STX's 4 billion circulating market cap appears low, but compared to similar projects in the Ethereum ecosystem, there is at least three times the imagination space. However, the correlation between these two coins is too strong; buying one is enough, and there is no need to repeat the layout.
The 'Inscription Three Stooges' of Ordi, Sats, and Rats halving is actually a good thing; the previous hype has already detached from value, and now the drop reveals opportunities. But remember, the essence of the inscription sector is 'speculative games'; do not hold with value investment logic. A rebound of 10%-20% should be taken as a chance to reduce positions; it's always right to take profits.
3. AI Sector: Potential dark horses beyond the leaders.
The AI sector in this bull market has shifted from 'storytelling' to 'watching for landing,' with market cap differentiation becoming increasingly clear.
WLD, as the leader in AI, presents a buying opportunity during pullbacks, but don't expect it to double like last year. The role of this large-cap leader is to serve as a 'ballast stone,' suitable for beginner allocation; it can outperform the market but won't make you rich.
TAO is in a somewhat awkward position; the trend of being trapped as soon as it goes live shows that the market is still skeptical about the 'AI algorithm + PoW' narrative. However, its underlying logic is innovative, suitable for bottom-fishing when the market cap drops below 100 million. This type of coin will either go to zero or rise 10 times, with risk and reward perfectly balanced. The hidden logic in the AI sector is 'integration with the real world,' and projects that can genuinely cooperate with AI companies are much more worthy of attention than just white paper tokens.
4. MEME Coins: Emotion-driven game of huge profits.
MEME coins have never been about logic, only emotions, but this round of MEME coins has new changes.
PEPE, as the MEME leader on ETH, sees a pullback of less than 20% as normal volatility. Its advantage is a sufficiently large community, meaning that even if it drops, there will be someone to pick it up. It is suitable for 'small investments for high returns'; do not invest more than 5% of your principal.
BOME and WIF represent a shortening lifecycle for new MEME coins. BOME dropped shortly after going live, indicating that the market's patience for 'new MEME' is waning; WIF gained popularity through the 'Dog with a Hat' IP but lacks ongoing topicality. Playing with this type of coin requires strict profit-taking rules; if you gain more than 30%, you should exit in batches; don't be greedy and try to eat from head to tail.
5. RWA Sector: Low-key long-term potential stocks.
The RWA (Real World Assets) sector is the 'slow variable' of this bull market; its explosion may be late but is strong in sustainability.
Ondo, as the RWA leader, has a circulating market cap of 1.1 billion and still has a lot of room. Especially under the backdrop of the approval of the U.S. stock ETF, the RWA narrative will become stronger. This type of coin is suitable for long-term holding; don’t be swayed by short-term fluctuations; the explosion point may occur when institutional funds enter. The core of RWA is 'compliance'; projects that can obtain regulatory licenses will leave their competitors behind later.
6. Binance New Coins: The Profit Logic of Strong Whale Coins.
Binance's new coins never lack opportunities, but they also come with traps.
ETHFI is riding the wave of enthusiasm generated by the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade, but don’t rush to chase after it goes live; new coins often pull back 20%-30% before they rise again, so waiting for a pullback is more prudent.
ENA is a typical strong-whale coin, where large holders often gather, leading to significant market movements. The characteristics of this type of coin are 'shallow pullbacks and sharp rises'; you can build positions near the 5-day line, and stop-loss if it falls below the 10-day line. It's not difficult to follow the whales. The key to playing new coins is 'watching the flow of funds'; coins that see a sustained increase in trading volume after launching have more opportunities than those with shrinking volume.
7. Platform Coins: An Undervalued Value Pit?
The performance differentiation of platform coins in this round reflects the reordering of exchange strengths.
OKB, with a market cap of 3 billion, is very cost-effective, but its lack of substantive empowerment is a major drawback. If OKX can break through in the spot ETF, OKB will see a wave of market activity; otherwise, it can only fluctuate with the overall market.
BNB's resilience is evident, but CZ's court appearance on April 30 is a major risk point. Before that, BNB is likely to trade sideways; after the negative news settles, then reassess the direction. For now, don’t rush to heavily invest.
BGB has emerged with 'copying Binance + high returns,' with a market cap of 1.6 billion still having space. However, coins controlled by strong whales can rise sharply but also drop sharply, so strict stop-loss rules must be observed; don't be blinded by 'high returns.' The core of platform coins is 'exchange profitability'; exchanges that can continuously make money present opportunities when their platform coins drop.
In conclusion: The secret to making money in a bull market is 'focus without greed.'
The rotation of sectors in this bull market will be very fast; today's hot topic may cool down tomorrow. Instead of trying to allocate to every sector, it's better to focus on 2-3 fields that you understand deeply.
The new public chain and Bitcoin ecosystem are suitable for long-term holding, while MEME coins and new coins are more suitable for short-term speculation. AI and RWA are suitable for balanced allocation. Remember, the true winners in a bull market are not the 'grocery store owners' who buy everything, but the hunters who understand 'heavily investing in familiar fields and staying out when risks show.'
The next article will break down the specific entry rhythm of each sector and provide a guide to avoid pitfalls in Ponzi schemes. Leave your questions in the comments, and I will address them one by one. The bull market waits for no one, but blindly entering is not as good as patiently waiting for your opportunity.
Follow me, and you won’t lose your way in the bull market treasure hunt.
