Recently, Bitcoin has pulled back from its two-month high, while altcoins like XRP and SUI are starting to gain momentum. XRP has already gained 29% this year, with a decent pace. The meme coin craze is heating up, with Pump.fun's single-day trading volume just surpassing $1.27 billion, setting a record.
The futures market has been quite active, with over $400 million in positions liquidated, mainly short positions. XRP's open interest has also hit a new high in recent weeks. Interestingly, although the funding rates for most mainstream coins are rising, major coins like SOL are experiencing negative funding rates, indicating that many traders are still bearish.
Behind SUI's price increase, there's a rumor fueling the rally—market speculation that it will introduce privacy features. However, looking at the overall market, the altcoin heat index is only 27/100, which is still relatively low. Coupled with the currently high RSI levels, there may be some short-term correction pressure.

Short positions have been liquidated again, and this liquidation scale is really not small this time.
XRP's 29% surge this wave is a bit outrageous, better be cautious.
Memecoin's daily trading volume exceeds 1.27 billion? How long does this bubble need to be blown before it bursts?
People still dare to short SOL with negative rates? Really brave.
SUI relies on rumors to attract such a large amount, what will happen when it launches?
Chasing the 27th hot trend of altcoins, isn't that asking for death?
BTC's pullback has actually helped old coins rebound; rotation happens so quickly.
With RSI so high, be careful in the short term, don't get caught by the pump and dump.

BTC's pullback actually gives altcoins a breather. This rhythm is quite interesting. XRP's 29% increase is indeed impressive, but I'm still waiting and seeing. It feels like this wave of enthusiasm is a bit fake.

It's another season of copycats, this time XRP and SUI are shining one after another. Memecoin is really crazy, with a single-day trading volume of 1.27 billion. How many people are gambling on luck?

The short positions were crushed through, and this move looks pretty fierce.
