Emotional Rollercoaster Phase: Cryptocurrency Market Gold Rush Guide
Original Article Title: How to Make Money in Crypto This November
Original Article Author: @MercyDeGreat

Editor's Note: The key to investment in November is not to speculate on the next moonshot coin, but to allocate funds early, focus on attention, and track algorithmic rotations. The biggest winners this month will be those who deeply understand market narratives, timing, and distribution mechanisms. This article analyzes five core tracks: presales provide funding, Memes bring liquidity, InfoFi rewards attention, x402/AI achieves automation.
Below is the original text:
Market Sentiment: "Rotation Season" Approaches
The cryptocurrency market is entering a new stage, being primarily driven by sector rotation rather than blind speculation. With Bitcoin's price stabilizing, new funds are flowing into targets within the Layer-2, AI, and InfoFi ecosystems with a higher Beta coefficient (high elasticity).
On X (formerly Twitter), the information flow is clear: developers are tirelessly delivering products, arbitrageurs are sprinting up the leaderboard, and the pace of market narrative switching is faster than ever before. This month's profits will not come from passive holding but from timely involvement in the right ecosystem.
Liquidity is shifting from large-cap assets like BTC and ETH to emerging L2s (such as Base), AI+InfoFi concept stocks (such as Xeet, Wallchain, MindoAi), and even Meme coins resurging on Solana and Base. Early players are seizing the opportunity by participating in presales, accumulating leaderboard points, and utilizing yield strategies on platforms like Pendle.
This is an "Attention is Alpha" market, where a project's visibility, transaction speed, and early-stage belief are more important than patience. Focus on projects that are early but have shown potential: those gaining social attention, having developer momentum, and about to launch incentive measures.
Because in "Rotation Season," the winners are not the ones who stand still but those who act first.
Below are the areas where I believe funds and attention will be keying into:
Presales
The presale is still one of the highest-risk, highest-reward profit-taking methods in the cryptocurrency space.
They represent an excellent opportunity to buy in before the token officially launches, when the project's valuation is still low, market attention is limited, but the potential rewards are significant. However, success is not based on luck; it relies on structured risk-taking supported by thorough research.
I discovered @feyprotocol very early on, joined its Discord, and submitted my wallet address, only to miss out on a presale opportunity that could have yielded a 20x return.
Interestingly, I did not write about it, nor did I see it on my timeline like other presales I usually do... This is a prime example of a low-profile, high-reward scenario.
The advantage comes from the first-mover advantage. By buying into a project before the market fully recognizes it, and hype has not peaked yet, you can still get in at a reasonable price. Once the token launches, attention pours in, and if you chose the right project, the early allocation can easily result in a 5x to 20x return.
Meme
Memes are the fastest path to a 2x to 10x return, but you must strike precisely. Their prosperity relies on attention, liquidity, and timing rather than fundamentals.
Currently, Solana and Base are leading the Meme cycle. Low gas fees, fast transaction speeds, and an active community make it an ideal place for rapid fund rotation.
We have witnessed many successful BNB chain memes, but I think the current activity in this space is not high.
Memes are attention-driven trades, not long-term investments. Please consider them as short-term events: enter quickly and exit even faster.
NFT
NFTs have not disappeared; they have only evolved. The market once driven by hype and profile pictures (PFPs) is now transforming into a space driven by utility, incentive mechanisms, and financial integration.
October marked a small but noteworthy resurgence in the NFT market. Today, protocols that combine DeFi with digital collectibles are driving this market that once thrived on hype and profile pictures.
@GuarEmperor has recently been providing some good NFT advice.
This is one of his recommended ones.

Here are some upcoming NFT projects to watch out for: @join_doggo; @upfloorco; @regent_cx; @0xCatana; @MegaBlobz; @ProjectMerlinio; @wallchain; @BlockNads; @official_pucca; @_GeeksOfficial; @HiMorningVille; @LizardACAD; @FogoNFT; @ChogNFT; @upfloorco; @the10kSquad; @re; @digitrabbits; @meganacci; @Ave_Forge; @flockseth; @deadbitnation
AI & Robotics
The AI token and the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) project related to robotics are quietly building a brand-new category of cryptographic assets. In this category, machines can autonomously earn rewards, transact, and provide services. This is not mere speculation but the early foundation of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) economy.
The market's focus is shifting towards an agent ecosystem network where AI robots can independently make payments, transact, or perform on-chain tasks. Keep an eye out for x402—it is an upgrade to the Web's HTTP 402 "Payment Required," designed to enable machines to transact directly with each other on the internet.
Here are some AI, robotics, and x402-related project tokens you should be aware of:; $CODEC; $ROBOT; $ANIMUS; $DPTX; $OVR; $BOT; $ROBA; $EDGE; $peaq; $Ping; $ROBA; $CODEC; $ARTI; $DEXTER; $DREAMS; $OOPS; $PRXS
If you are unfamiliar with x402, here is a guide for your reference:

InfoFi (Informational Finance)
InfoFi is a new on-chain paradigm that allows you to profit through knowledge rather than transactions. It is the convergence of the creator economy and decentralized finance (DeFi), rewarding users for sharing insights, research, or predictions that add value to the ecosystem.
The core mechanism of InfoFi is "Proof-of-Knowledge." You don't need to mine or stake; you just need to provide valuable, verifiable information, whether it's accurate predictions, in-depth analytical articles, or educational series posts, to earn rewards. The greater the value your information creates, the more tokens, points, or reputation rewards you receive.
Profit Paths:
1. Prediction Markets: Platforms like Polymarket, Kalshi, and PredictHub allow you to earn income by making correct predictions about real-world or cryptocurrency-related events.
2. Research Leaderboards: Protocols such as Wallchain, Kaito, Cookies, and Xeet reward authors who publish profound insights or data-supported content with points, experience points (XP), or token allocations.
3. Curation Markets: Some systems reward users who upvote or recommend high-quality posts to incentivize good judgment and community filtering ability.
Notable InfoFi Projects: @wallchain; @xeetdotai; @KaitoAI; @cookie3
Projects on these platforms often include airdrop opportunities. To be profitable in November of this year, your portfolio must cover these categories mentioned above.
The presale funds the narrative, meme coins bring liquidity, InfoFi rewards signals, and x402/AI makes it automated. Those who can see these connections will lead the next cycle.
If you are reading this guide early, you are already ahead of 99% of crypto Twitter users.
