Keeping an eye on the leading coin is not a matter of choice. Even if you don't take action for now, the trend of the leading coin is worth paying close attention to — it is the weather vane for judging the overall market rhythm. When the leading coin is rising, it indicates market enthusiasm; new coins then have the opportunity to follow suit. Conversely, if the leading coin stagnates and you keep chasing new coins, you're just taking the last baton, providing liquidity for others to escape.

This wave of market movement has been going on for more than ten days now, and the identity of the leader is very clear. Don't hope that your small coins will turn into the leader — the market is this big, the participants are this many, and available liquidity is limited. Funds will only flow toward the assets with the highest heat and strongest consensus. The smart approach is to follow the main market trend, rather than hoping to carve out a new path against the trend.

The leader part is indeed, chasing new coins is just like being a bagholder... But honestly, most people who are still struggling with this after more than ten days have already lost money. Following the leader is always better than bottom-fishing for fifth-tier coins, now I understand. Relying on the leader is essential to grasp the overall market rhythm, there's no mistake in that. Actually, there are only two choices: either follow the leader or prepare to cut losses. New coin turnaround? Ha, your idea is too optimistic, brother.

The leading coin remains stagnant, chasing new coins is just giving others a handout; this logic makes perfect sense. After chasing small coins for three months, I finally understand what I'm doing. The market is just so small, funds gather in a pattern, why do I keep loving to gamble on probabilities? If the leading coin stalls and I still chase it, I deserve to get cut. Following the leader is indeed stable, but watching others' new coins double in value, I just can't help it. The leading coin is a weather vane; this statement is spot on.

The bagholders are still dreaming. Wake up, bro. If the leader doesn't rise, why chase the copycat?

The leading coin doesn't rise, and all other coins are trash. This may sound rough, but the truth is real. --- Basically, don't buy the small coins at the bottom; those are just for the big players to take over. --- I just want to ask if anyone is still chasing new coins. Have you ever cut losses or not? --- Stick with the leading coin, everything else is just gambling on luck. --- The market is so small, still hoping for a turnaround? Dream on. --- Trading based on the leader's mood, there's no other way. --- Funds are limited, who else to follow if not the leader? --- Taking the final baton really hurts; I've seen too many cases. --- The consensus is that the leader is the main line; operating against it will only cause faster losses. --- The main trend is the leader; deviating from it is just sending money away.

If the leader doesn't take action, don't just mess around, really.

If the leading project stalls, don't blindly chase new coins, or you'll end up as the last one to be sold off. Chasing hype isn't wrong, but you need to read the market trend correctly. Waiting with a bunch of small tokens for a turnaround? Wake up, liquidity doesn't come out of nowhere. Is it really so hard to follow the main trend? Why go against it? The rhythm of the leading project is the rhythm of the market. If you can't recognize this, just wait to be cut off.
