The market has been a bit dull recently, and many people are struggling to decide which targets to focus on. In fact, if you observe carefully, you'll notice some signs indicating that the institutional bull market of 2026 has already begun to stir beneath the surface. Let me share four directions that are currently worth paying attention to.

First, let's talk about $SUI. Large institutions like Bitwise are rushing to file for spot ETFs. What does this mean? Traditional capital is directly connecting to the pipeline. Looking at ecosystem data makes it even clearer—DEX's monthly trading volume can reach 16 billion, and during such heat, a pullback could actually be an opportunity to get in.

Next, the idea behind $ASTER is particularly interesting. Their Burndrop mechanism involves directly repurchasing and burning tokens to create deflationary pressure, and they are also collaborating with SBI to issue a Japanese yen stablecoin. With this dual approach, selling pressure is directly suppressed, and this logic is quite solid.

$AT (APRO) is a bit different. It has surged 50% in 24 hours, the community atmosphere is lively, and they even launched a 400,000 prize pool. Under this kind of emotion-driven market, it's easier to ride the trend. For such rapidly rising targets, timing and gains are both favorable.

Finally, there's $PUPPPIES, which can be considered an Easter egg. The core community is quietly brewing, the concept is new, and the market cap is light. If it truly becomes the next hot spot that attracts attention, early positioning could actually be advantageous.

Overall, the key to this 2026 market rally ultimately lies in perception. These four main lines cover different styles—institutional level, deflationary mode, emotion-driven, and new concepts—so it depends on which one you have more confidence in.

These four directions all look good, but SUI's monthly trading volume of 16 billion is indeed impressive. It feels like ETF approval will send it soaring. I'm a bit confused about ASTER's destruction mechanism. Can it really suppress selling pressure? With AT's such fierce gains, could it just be an emotional bubble? PUPPPIES is a lightweight project; it depends on whether the community is truly active, otherwise it just becomes a bagholder. Cognition is indeed key, but the biggest fear is cognitive errors. 2026 is still a long way off.

Here comes the idea of cutting leeks again, laying out four targets at once, betting on human nature. The SUI ETF does have some potential, but a monthly trading volume of 16 billion isn't that outrageous. ASTER's deflation logic sounds good, but I'm just worried about where the buyback money will come from. AT up 50%? I usually avoid this kind of emotional trading, it's easy to get caught holding the bag. PUPPPIES is really a matter of mysticism; early ambush = higher probability of losing money early. I agree with the strategy of cognitive disadvantage, but cognitive disadvantage can also backfire on you.

After looking for a while, I still think SUI is the most stable. The ETF thing is not a joke. ASTER's deflation logic does have some substance, but it depends on subsequent execution. That 50% increase in AT feels like everyone has already had too much fun. PUPPPIES is purely driven by gambling psychology; I still prefer to wait and see. 2026, still relies on defeating emotions with cognition. It's not too late to get on board now, the key is to know what you're betting on. SUI ecosystem data won't deceive you; just keep your position during the pullback. This round is really about cognition; I think it's much better than just gambling on luck before.

It should be pointed out that your analytical framework has obvious cognitive flaws. The ETF expectation for SUI itself is a reflection of price valuation; the 16 billion daily trading volume precisely indicates that liquidity has been excessively released—according to on-chain data, the early institutional chip distribution was completed long ago, and the current "hidden currents" are actually the final dance of retail investors taking over. Undoubtedly, ASTER's Burndrop sounds impressive, but the deflationary model has been discredited by the community multiple times since 2017. Burning tokens does not equal eliminating risk; instead, it amplifies holders' anxiety expectations. As for APRO's 50% increase with a 400,000 prize pool, I've seen too many of these emotion-driven textbook plays, each ending with retail investors stopping losses. Lastly, the "Easter egg logic" of PUPPPIES... Let me be straightforward: a small market cap should alert you to liquidity risks, not serve as an ambush excuse. The real institutional bull market has never been about "cognition," but about risk management and position control. Your article essentially adds fuel to the FOMO fire.

It's the same story again, institutional bull market undercurrents are surging... saying this every time. SUI's ETF does have some potential, but does high DEX trading volume necessarily mean stability? I feel like this logic is a bit forced. I didn't quite understand the Burndrop on ASTER. Buyback and burn sounds impressive, but can it really suppress selling pressure? AT up 50%, community atmosphere is hot... this is more like gambling, right? Is the timing right? Who knows when it will be right. PUPPPIES has a small market cap, isn't that a risk signal? Small caps lurking around just sounds like betting on whether it can ignite. Cognition determines returns, that's true, but cognition also determines losses. Listing all four assets at once—are we supposed to choose, or do we all have to go in?

Institutional bull market undercurrents? Why am I still losing money SUI's ETF this time is indeed a bit desperate, but I want to see if it can really break through the previous high ASTER's deflation logic sounds good, but it depends on how long it can be sustained AT's 50% increase and high community enthusiasm tend to come quickly and go just as fast PUPPPIES's new concept is lurking, but I'm worried it might become the next overlooked project --- Four directions again and institutional trends, why does it feel like I say this every time, but in the end, I still have to figure it out myself --- Cognitive gap is a cognitive gap, but the problem is that most people's cognitive gaps are in the same direction --- I am optimistic about SUI, ASTER's model is innovative, but PUPPPIES feels a bit like gambling --- The emotional-driven approach has been played out long ago, can you still believe it? --- By 2026, institutional-level projects are indeed worth paying attention to, but going all-in now seems a bit early --- Lightly capitalized projects should be cautious; poor liquidity means you can't escape --- DEX's monthly trading volume is 16 billion, the ecosystem data is solid, but the valuation has probably been inflated too --- I just want to know when will be the real correction opportunity
