Recently, I noticed something interesting while monitoring the market—the coins that suddenly take off all follow a similar pattern.

Take $AIA, $MYX, and $COAI for example, their gains have been wild, right? Upon closer research, they share several common traits: they only have contract trading with no spot market, so even the project team can’t find tokens to dump; their on-chain liquidity pools are extremely shallow, just a few hundred thousand dollars in volume can send the price soaring; their market caps are basically all under $50 million, making it easy for the “small boat to turn around”; and most importantly, the open interest in contracts is almost catching up to their market cap, which means big money is watching.

Timing is crucial to seize these kinds of opportunities. What were you doing when $COAI started to rise in October? Did you miss out again when $AIA exploded in November? Every month, new hot spots emerge in the market—you have to keep up.

As for specific operations, it’s all about reviewing the market daily and paying close attention to the current trends of $ICP and $NEAR—don’t they feel familiar?

Right now, I’m still watching a few targets with small market caps but reliable teams. For example, luna currently has a $70 million market cap, and potential meme coins like pippin are also worth keeping an eye on. The combination of a small market cap and a strong team truly offers huge room for imagination.
