How Do Major Players Wash Out Retail Investors and Force Them to Surrender Their Positions? If Retai…
After spending a long time in the cryptocurrency market, you must have heard this saying: "Only when the vast majority of retail investors surrender will the major players start to push the market up." This leads to a question — if retail investors all grit their teeth and refuse to sell, what tactics can the major players use? At first glance, this question seems reasonable, but reality is often more ruthless than imagination. If you are not the last believer to hold on, there are plenty of ...

From Panic to Euphoria in 23 Days
On June 22, Bitcoin dipped below $100 k, sparking short-lived panic. What followed, however, was a broad-based relief rally that felt different: coins that had been comatose for months suddenly sprang to life.
To separate perception from reality, PANews pulled 403 USDT spot pairs on Binance, cross-referenced them with CoinGecko tags, and measured performance from June 22 open to July 15 close.
95 % Winners, 30 % Average Pop
382 of 403 tokens ended higher (94.8 %).
Average gain: +30.38 %; median: +25.92 %.
Seven tokens more than doubled, led by a 335 % moon-shot.
307 tokens beat Bitcoin’s +15.31 %, meaning three-quarters of the market finally outperformed BTC.
Only 20 names bucked the tide and closed lower.
Top-20 Winners Share a Profile
Market-cap sweet spot: sub-$100 m or mid-cap ($100 m–$1 B) dominated; only three large-caps cracked the list.
Narrative mix: Meme, AI, and DeFi led, plus four infrastructure plays.
Chains of choice: Ethereum, BSC, and Solana hosted most of the stars.
Meme Coins Lead, GameFi Surprises
Sector averages:
Meme: +42.2 %
Infra: +40.98 %
GameFi: +35.15 % (the dark-horse revival)
DEX, AI, Smart-Contract platforms all >30 %.
Meanwhile, RWA could only manage +11.94 %, and wallet tokens slipped ‑3.09 %.
Chain-Level Scoreboard
Solana: +39.41 %
Base: +33.86 %
Arbitrum: +31.42 %
Ethereum: +31.14 %
BSC: +28.41 %
Avalanche again brought up the rear at +10.86 %.
Size Didn’t Matter This Time
Large-caps (> $1 B) rose 33.93 %, small-caps (< $100 m) 30.41 %, and mid-caps 29.45 %. With 348 of 403 tokens in the small- or mid-cap bracket, the rally was truly democratic—gains were not skewed toward mega-caps.
2024 Babies Shine, 2017 Veterans Fade
Tokens born in 2024 gained 42.76 %, trailed by 2023 vintage (+34.57 %). Coins from 2017 and the 2021–2022 cohort lagged again, reinforcing the idea that earlier projects are losing mind-share.
Still Miles From Former Glory
Only seven tokens printed a higher high than their 2024 peaks during this run.
38 tokens remain 90 % below their 2024 tops—requiring a 10× move to reclaim.
146 tokens are 80 % away.
302 tokens still sit 50 % below last year’s highs.
So while the rally is broad, the true alt-season—where fresh all-time highs become the norm—may have only just sounded its opening chord. Whether it’s a fleeting riff or the start of a symphony remains to be seen.
