Recently reviewed my trading accounts and found that the main sources of profit still revolve around three core ideas: tracking hot money in leading ecosystems, shorting opportunities during the initial launch of new tokens, and closely following market hot spots.

**Long Opportunities in Leading Ecosystems**

In the MEME market, going long on ecosystem tokens like SOL, BNB, and ETH carries relatively manageable risks. This round, I chose SOL as the main target for two reasons: first, although BNB's ecosystem is active, the Chinese MEME community itself has an advantage, making competition relatively fierce; second, ETH lacks obvious new hot spots in this cycle. In contrast, SOL's ETF remains hot, with large whales entering and frequent new MEME launches. The logic behind holding this long position is quite solid, and I plan to continue holding.

**Shorting Opportunities During New Token Launches**

In pre-market futures of certain leading exchanges, new tokens often indicate participation by major institutions. These tokens tend to experience sharp volatility early on, but you need to intervene immediately; waiting too long could result in a drop of over 10%. I personally prefer holding short positions with low leverage for the long term, re-establishing positions whenever good news appears to test the market. The results have been quite good. In this round, ZAMA dropped 30%, and FOGO was cut in half, both good cases.

**Q1 Hot Spot Follow Strategy**

Recently, Chinese MEME in the BSC ecosystem has become the biggest focus. The launch was triggered by several new tokens launching spot and derivatives simultaneously. I believe this hot spot won't be just a flash in the pan. More new tokens and alpha and spot trading opportunities will be introduced later, so this kind of opportunity is worth continuous attention. Whether going long or short, each phase of Q1 offers good entry points.
