ME News message, December 19 (UTC+8), trader Eugene Ng Ah Sio posted on his personal channel that he successfully avoided the repeated fluctuations of the past month and believes that most altcoins have entered 'Phase 5' (Regime 5, see the chart below). Now it is time to start listing observations and placing buy orders. However, mainstream coins are still in Phase 4 - the DAT collapse has not really happened yet. Therefore, it is time to watch the market with a 'preparing to buy' mindset, rather than waiting for a rebound to short. Eugene stated, 'This year has been a torment for most people, but 2026 will be better.' (Source: ME)
