A recent interesting phenomenon has occurred: meme coins in the Chinese community are collectively surging. January 7th was particularly obvious— a well-known meme coin project launched on a top-tier exchange, directly igniting the entire sector. Looking at the specific data, the leading project soared 40% that day, with a market cap reaching $178 million; another popular coin increased by 12%, with a market cap of $45.23 million; a third project even more impressive, with a 24-hour increase of 24%, and a market cap surpassing $5.88 million.
This is not just random pump-and-dump. I’ve been monitoring on-chain data for a long time, and the numbers are very clear. The capital inflow into these coins has sharply increased, large transfers are occurring frequently, clearly indicating smart money is positioning. When new tokens are listed on exchanges, it naturally generates buzz. Once liquidity enters, market sentiment is instantly ignited. Trading volume doubles, and within just a few hours, the signs are evident—this is the action of institutions and big players, and the retail FOMO wave has yet to fully start.
From the news perspective, this is not just a rebound from a single event. It reflects a genuine return of meme coin enthusiasm in the Chinese community. Recently, the overall market has been relatively warm, Bitcoin remains stable at high levels, and opportunities in altcoins are beginning to stir. With just this trigger point, the market can explode. My judgment is that the current rally in Chinese meme coins is just beginning; there’s a possibility of continued upward movement in the next few days, even potentially driving rotation among other small-cap tokens. Of course, don’t chase blindly—timing is key.
Why am I so confident? Because on-chain data doesn’t lie—fund flows are right there, exchange actions are visible, and the market’s next move is basically set. In the short term, the crypto market still has room to grow, especially watch these hot coins’ performance. But in the medium term, be cautious—there’s always a risk of correction. Hold your spot positions steady, and let the data speak—nothing beats that.

Smart money entering the market is so obvious, what are retail investors still hesitating for?
When institutions start moving, the trading volume can't be hidden at all; the data is right here.
Wait, is this wave really going up or is it just another dump? I'm a bit hesitant to chase.
On-chain data definitely doesn't lie, but this pace feels a bit too fast.
Meme coins are rotating, but I'm just worried that I might be the one catching the bag.
A market cap of 178 million is easy to push up, but it can fall just as fast.
It depends on whether the subsequent funds can hold it, or else it will just be a false high.

actually, 40% pump in hours? ran the math on gas consumption during that window and there's literally 300+ bps of MEV being left on the table. everyone's staring at price charts when they should be analyzing calldata compression on the inflow txs lmao

Smart money has already entered the market, what are retail investors still hesitating for?
On-chain data doesn't lie, this wave of meme coins has just taken off.
A 40% increase—it's pretty impressive, but be careful not to chase the high and get caught.
Hold your spot holdings steady, don't listen to hype—let the data speak for itself.
Exchanges listing and pumping the price—it's an old trick, but this time it seems to be legit.

40% directly take off, this move is really smart money acting
Retail investors are still debating when to enter, institutions have already set up the game
This rhythm is solid, and the future depends on how on-chain data moves
Once market sentiment explodes, it’s unstoppable. The rotation of small coins is what really stimulates
Don’t chase highs blindly; you need to be sure before jumping in, or it’ll be uncomfortable to get caught
The Chinese meme has really warmed up this round, but risks should also be guarded
The data is there, and capital flow cannot be fooled; this is correct

Here we go again... The "smart money deployment" of this wave of meme coins sounds pretty impressive, but theoretically it should be feasible, right?
Let me first try this on-chain data to see if I can master it... and I ended up locking myself in again, a typical Luban No.7 construction site.
It's just another useless innovation, with MIN practical value and MAX academic value.

40% in one day? Come on, retail investors jumping in now are just bagholders
Institutions are all full before it's our turn to watch the fun
This meme wave is really intense, but I still need to wait and see
Quick money often leads to faster losses
On-chain data looks good, but selling also happens in seconds
Chinese meme coins are back at it again, I've seen too many fake breakouts
I don't know why some people always chase highs, probably a mindset issue
This kind of rise will definitely have a correction later, be cautious
Big players are positioning, what does it have to do with me?
Short-term surge, long-term trend—have a clear idea in mind
Rotation effect? More likely a leek-cutting effect
Holding spot assets steadily is truly the way to go, everything else is just虚的
Missed the bottom on January 7th, now I feel a bit regretful
Exchange listing = the exit door is open, get it?
This kind of market tests your mentality the most, most people will still get cut.

On-chain data is indeed available, but I more want to know who was already lurking before January 7th...

Smart money has already jumped in, while retail investors are still hesitating
Wait, is this round of price increase about to dump again? History always repeats itself
On-chain data is so strong, but I’m still cautious. Who knows what will happen next
The wave on January 7th really missed me, is there still a chance to catch up now?
Holding spot is the safest, don’t think about bottom fishing or selling at the top
The capital flow seems to be really active, this time feels different
Meme coins are going crazy again, the Chinese community’s resilience...
The rhythm of the next few days needs to be well managed, or it’ll be another slaughter
A 40% increase looks great, but the risks are very real
When the rotation effect kicks in, even small coins have to get excited, this is the market’s magic
