After dinner, take a quick look at the gainers list. In the last two hours of today, the quietest thing is actually ETH. 1,759 is just sitting there, welded in place.
I checked the data. Over the past 24 hours, trading volume was 301 million, and it’s shrinking. Shrinking volume and sideways action suggest that nobody is willing to make a move at this level.
MA5 is 1,763, and MA20 is 1,777. The price is lying below both moving averages, with the short-term MA still pressing down. RSI has already reached 30.0, which is in the oversold zone. MACD is still in a bearish configuration: DIF is negative at -2.8. The indicators are contradicting—RSI says the drop is basically close to being done here, while MACD says the bearish trend hasn’t ended.
The Bollinger Band width is only 2.9%, which is very narrow. A narrow band often leads to a directional move, but today isn’t a day for starting a trend.
Support is in the 1,748 to 1,755 area. This zone has been tested multiple times previously—if it breaks, you should look toward new lows. Resistance is still at 1,808; tonight it can’t even be touched, so don’t think about it.
My bias is bearish. Not because the indicators look pretty, but because the trading volume isn’t there—no one wants to pick up in the oversold zone. If it pulls back near 1,748, I’ll consider a small long position with a stop loss set just below 1,740. If it breaks 1,740, don’t hold on. If it rebounds to around 1,765, I’ll consider shorting again, taking profit around 1,748.
ETH spent the whole day hovering around 1774 tonight here. Now it seems to be starting to probe downward a bit.
In the 24-hour range, it’s from 1808 to 1756, with成交 of 296 million USDT. Volume contraction is very obvious—only about 0.4x of the average volume. This kind of low-volume consolidation indicates that big funds haven’t moved.
RSI is currently 41, still in the weaker zone, and it’s not yet close enough to oversold. MACD is in a bearish arrangement: DIF is -0.9, with no sign of a golden cross. MA5 is at 1768 and MA20 at 1778. Price is sitting right between these two moving averages, so direction hasn’t been decided.
Key support to watch is 1748—this is the prior low zone. If it comes down and can hold there, there’s still some suspense. The resistance level is 1808, which is at the Bollinger upper band. Without volume, it basically can’t push through.
Overall bias is bearish. With volume contraction plus weak indicators, there’s no momentum for an upside breakout. But I won’t take a trade here—since it already dropped through a round during the day, chasing short now could easily get swept by a rebound.
If BTC suddenly pumps, ETH will most likely follow, but the strength is estimated to be limited—1780-1790 would likely be the ceiling. Conversely, if BTC drops, ETH will break down faster.
My personal plan is: if the rebound reaches the 1790-1800 area, I’ll consider opening a small short position. Stop-loss would be above 1810. Take-profit first at 1755, then 1748. If it directly breaks below 1748, then I won’t enter and will wait for lower signals.
The above is just my own random thoughts and plan—if you lose, don’t come find me.
Just flipped to a passage in *The De-Nationalization of Money* and suddenly thought of today’s $XLM chart.
Hayek said that money doesn’t necessarily have to be issued by a state. Bitcoin, in a way, has walked that path.
But honestly, among the people buying Bitcoin today, nine out of ten aren’t doing it because they’re chasing “monetary freedom.” They’re hoping to buy now and then sell at a higher price to the next bag-holder.
Today’s $XLM is exactly like that: 0.206600, up +3.92% in 24 hours, with trading volume of 98 million USDT.
The market looks lively, but look at the turnover rate—do the people buying really believe in this project? Or do they think they can dump it at an even higher price tomorrow?
Between truth and reality, there’s a candlestick chart.
Hayek wasn’t wrong. The fault lies in most people’s motives.
The most worth talking about today isn’t some “weird coin,” it’s ETH itself. During the day it dropped to 1755, then rebounded back to 1763 by the close—volatility of less than 3%. Trading volume was only 427 million, shrinking to the extreme.
Ethereum is currently stuck between support at 1755 and resistance at 1808, like a compressed spring. The 1755 level defended once yesterday and again today, holding it up—suggesting some short-term capital is supporting it. But MA5 and MA20 are at 1769 and 1778, respectively, with price trading below the moving averages. The moving averages have started to turn downward, and the bearish order hasn’t been broken.
RSI is only 35.6—close to oversold but not fully there—indicating there’s still room for further downside. The MACD histogram green bars continue to expand; the DIF negative value is getting deeper, and bearish momentum hasn’t shown signs of exhaustion. The Bollinger Bands have narrowed to a 2.5% bandwidth; after this kind of tight consolidation, price often picks a direction. With volume shrinking, neither bulls nor bears want to move—whoever is first to expand volume will likely win.
If the pullback near 1755 can hold steadily, I’d consider a small long position, with a stop-loss placed below 1748, and first target 1808. If it breaks directly below 1748 and sells off on increased volume, then don’t catch it—wait for the next support level. The above is just my personal plan; everyone is responsible for their own decisions.
Whether 1755 can hold will be known within the first half hour after tomorrow’s open. I’d rather miss out than gamble.
The RedStone oracle has officially been launched on the Newton Mainnet Beta policy enforcement layer, marking a shift away from relying on isolated on-chain price feeds for the on-chain compliance framework. When the strategy engine determines whether the collateral adequacy ratio or liquidation trigger threshold has been reached, it calls trusted oracle prices that have been aggregated and verified by RedStone, rather than relying on data from a single node. For DeFi protocols built on @NewtonProtocol, this means the financial security boundary is reinforced directly at the code level, and the reliability of dynamic pricing is significantly improved.
By combining an on-chain programmable compliance layer with oracles, the core problem it solves is data trust—the most painful issue institutions face when entering. In the past, many DeFi liquidation disputes stemmed from discrepancies between hard-coded thresholds and actual market prices. RedStone’s modular data-push design aligns perfectly with Newton’s dual requirements for both real-time performance and aggregated verification. As $NEWT is the protocol governance token, holders will be able to vote on changes to such critical infrastructure in the future—providing a stronger capability to resist centralization risk than relying solely on project team decisions.
It’s also worth noting that this technology combination is further lowering the barrier to DeFi. Previously, development teams had to build their own price-monitoring node setups; now they can directly call RedStone data through Newton’s VaultKit to build lending or derivatives protocols that resist manipulation. From node environments with dual verification using TEE and ZKP, to the aggregated oracle price layer, the entire pipeline is turning compliance infrastructure into reusable primitives. If you want to observe how an oracle evolves from a data source into a DeFi compliance execution component, the real-world practices on Newton’s mainnet provide a solid slice for inspection. #Newt
Brothers, who hasn’t gone through the whole “selling too early” thing a few times? I had an older brother—at the end of last year he bought some fake coin for a little over 4 yuan, and held it for about half a year. One night, out of nowhere, it jumped to 8. He saw it doubling, panicked, and sold everything with shaking hands. The next day, when he woke up… wow, it had surged all the way to 16.
At the time he was so angry he berated it in the group for half an hour, saying he sold at the lowest point. But later that coin dropped from 16 back to 3. He didn’t buy the dip, because he’d already been shaken off the train. He told me: in that moment, he was especially glad he ran. Sure, he made less, but at least the gains were safely in his pocket.
Missing the top isn’t losing money—it’s just making less. Making less is better than losing money, right? I didn’t truly accept that lesson until I stepped into three years’ worth of traps.
A lot of people lose money because they always want to sell at the very highest point. Then they keep holding—until one day, all the profit is gone, and they even end up putting their original principal in too.
Rewrite the trading notes I wrote myself. In “Principles,” Dalio says, pain + reflection = progress. What I’ve written is: after every loss, I record the reason. When I flip back through it, the same page of paper can trip me up three times.
It’s not that I don’t understand the chart. It’s that I can’t control my hands.
Today I happened to be watching $AIGENSYN . 0.027400, down 2.11%, with trading volume of 0.86 billion. If it were back then, I definitely would’ve thought, “It dropped a lot—buy some.” I opened my notes and the losing trade from last week looks exactly the same as today.
It’s not a problem with this coin. It’s that switch in my head—the one that tells me, “This time is different”—is lit up again.
Dalio turns failure into principles; I haven’t even written the principles clearly yet. I’ll note this down first.
After lunch, I’ll take a quick look at the chart. Today, all the funds are piled into $TLM —one candle pulled it up 38%. Trading volume jumped to 0.32B USDT, yanking those old coins that were freezing on the sidelines back into view. Why pick it? On-chain activity suddenly woke up, and a bunch of retail traders are rushing in to chase. The RSI is only 57.5—still far from overbought—so the ones chasing higher haven’t gone crazy yet. But the MACD is still in the bearish zone; the DIF is just 0.0002, still lying under the zero line and hasn’t flipped. MA5=0.003303, MA20=0.003175—the price is hovering right between the two lines, stuck in a neutral spot. Volume has shrunk to 0.3x the average volume. This isn’t a real breakout—it’s a hard push with limited liquidity. Key support is at 0.003175. If MA20 breaks, it won’t hold. Resistance is at 0.003787, the 24h high; without volume, it can’t get through. If it retraces back toward 0.003175, I’ll place a small long, with a stop loss set below 0.003100, first targeting 0.003700. If it breaks down below 0.003100 with increased volume, I’ll cut it immediately and exit. But a volume-squeezed pump is most afraid of a sudden dump. The risk of chasing is that the main force could run anytime. The above is just my personal plan, not a call to trade. I’m choosing to step aside on this one. #TLM #午盘 #涨幅榜 #CryptoCircle
Just saw the progress of @NewtonProtocol: the RedStone oracle has officially been integrated into the policy execution layer of the Newton Mainnet Beta. This means that on-chain compliance strategies finally have a verified and trusted data source, and no longer rely on a single price feed. For users holding $NEWT , the DeFi protocol’s resistance to manipulation and execution reliability are expected to improve. Looking forward to the #Newt ecosystem running more compliant scenarios supported by real data.
Within two hours of the opening, $TLM pumped 35.3%, surging to 0.003787. This candle directly pierced the upper Bollinger Band, with RSI at 73—already in the overbought zone. In the past 24 hours, volume was 31 million USDT, three to four times higher than a few days ago. Capital is targeting it; most likely this is a catch-up rally of a low-cap, oversold rebound. The 24h low at 0.002239 has risen and there has been almost no meaningful pullback.
MA5 is still below MA20; the moving averages have not formed a bullish alignment. This bullish candle relies mainly on a short-term surge in volume to force the push. Support below is at 0.0028, the bottom edge of the prior dense trading area. Resistance overhead is at 0.0040, the clustered zone of the past month’s highs.
At this level, I won’t chase. If it pulls back to around 0.0028–0.0030, I’ll consider entering a small long position, with a stop loss placed below 0.0026. If it breaks 0.0030, then I’ll let it go—I won’t hold it out. The above is only my personal plan; use your own judgment.
This chart looks really exhausting. I’m taking a break.
Just finished reading 《Poor Charlie's Almanack》 and saw Munger’s line: “When you only have a hammer in your hand, everything looks like a nail.”
It instantly reminded me of myself back when I first started trading. I stared at the K-lines—golden crosses here, dead crosses there—and I lost so much that I practically blew through everything.
Munger advises people to build diversified thinking models. Don’t look at problems from only one angle.
Reading the chart is the same. If you only look at the price $BTC , it’s hard to make a judgment.
This morning I opened the screen: BTC 63,755, up 1.21% over the last 24 hours, with trading volume of 610 million USDT. Looking at just this one line, it almost seems like it could still rise.
But add another perspective—sentiment. The Nasdaq futures fell over the weekend, and in the Asia session, the way the market opened suggested the funds were hesitant.
Switch to another angle—liquidity. This volume is lower than the same period last week, which suggests there aren’t many people chasing.
Stack these three angles together, and the chart isn’t really “simply bullish.” It feels more like the market is waiting for direction—no one dares to move first.
Munger’s point is not complicated: don’t use only one ruler to measure the world. Bring a few more rulers, and you’ll see what’s really going on.
ETH moved around 1780 this morning; the amplitude is less than three dollars—an old trick of low-volume consolidation.
The 24-hour high at 1808 sits overhead, while the 24-hour low at 1749 holds the floor. Volume is 694 million, more than half below usual. MA5 is curving downward from 1784, while MA20 is supporting upward from 1773—these two lines are about to meet. RSI is 67.4—not overheated, but slightly strong. MACD is still in a bullish alignment; the DIF at 4.71 hasn’t given up. The Bollinger Bands aren’t gaping much; bandwidth is 2.6%. Price is sliding along the upper band with no real urge to break higher.
Support to watch is around 1744—the bottom of the last small range. If that breaks, it could run down to find support around 1720. Resistance is 1808. It pushed there twice last week and failed to hold; that level has been pressing for three days.
In the early session, it’ll most likely chop between 1744 and 1808. I’ll wait until BTC moves before making a move. In a low-volume state, whoever shows volume first will set the direction. My preference is to wait for a pullback and confirmation. If it truly drops toward 1750, I can try going long, with a stop loss placed below 1744. First look at 1790—if it clears, then keep an eye on 1808. If the rebound can’t get above 1800, then I’d short one position with light size; stop loss at 1810, target 1750. You decide for yourself—if you lose money, don’t come looking for me.
Quick glance before the open. BTC is currently stuck at 63,769; 24h +0.92%, overall it’s relatively strong. ETH is around 1,792; 24h +0.37%, also relatively strong.
BTC’s overnight range was 62,437 to 63,964, and this area is pretty key. If the open comes with volume and BTC holds steady around 63,964, short-term sentiment will improve a lot; but if it gets sold down immediately and breaks below 62,437, then today is very likely to be a choppy, range-bound day.
For ETH, it depends more on BTC’s mood. If BTC doesn’t give a clear direction, it’s hard for ETH to move independently. Trading volume is 688 million USDT—not very active—which suggests everyone is waiting for the signal from the open.
I’m not going to take action right at the open. I’ll watch for the first half hour to confirm the direction first. When you open, are you going to focus on BTC first, or on the alts?
Just finished reading “Poor Charlie’s Almanack” and saw Munger say this: “if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”
Isn’t that basically what our retail investors do every day? Only looking at the candlestick chart, thinking everything can be drawn out. Only looking at funds, thinking the main force can control everything. Only looking at sentiment, thinking FOMO or panic is all there is.
A single perspective is the easiest way to lose money.
Take today’s chart for example — <t-2/> $BNB — 588.72, up 2.50% in the past 24 hours, with trading volume of 0.75 billion USDT. If you only stare at the candlestick chart, you might think this level is pretty solid. But you also need to think about: Is today’s Monday liquidity enough? Did sentiment transfer over from the US stock market last night? Has there been any major action in BNB’s own ecosystem recently?
Only when these viewpoints overlap can you barely get hold of half the truth. A single perspective is like driving with one eye closed.
Munger’s original words are: “You must know the important theories in important fields of study, and you must use them frequently—use them all, not just a few.”
So don’t spend a lifetime hitting everything with a single hammer.
Quickly check the gainers list in the middle of the night. $ETH is still sitting at 1,781. At dawn, the fake “gainers list” is cleaner than during the day—there isn’t as much emotional trading.
1,781 — down 0.65% over 24 hours. Trading volume is 650 million, and it’s a contraction. Lower volume means nobody is impulsively rushing in at this level. Liquidity is thin in the early hours, so direction is harder to guess—either small orders push it up, or a single needle pierces through.
MA5=1,779 hugging the price; MA20=1,769 is still underneath, providing support. MA20 is the short-term lifeline—if 1,769 holds, the bulls have confidence. RSI=67.3, slightly strong but not overbought—so it’s not yet the time when you “must run.” MACD is aligned bullishly: DIF=3.53, and the momentum is still there. Bollinger Band width is 2.5%, running near the upper band—narrow contraction, with the possibility of expanding at any moment.
Both long/short signals are basically consistent: slightly bullish. But reduced volume is a risk—without volume, it can’t really push higher.
If there’s a pullback toward 1,769 (MA20), I’ll consider a small-position long trial, with a stop loss placed below 1,744. First watch 1,807 (resistance R1). If it breaks, then look at 1,830. 1,744 is the daily S1—if it breaks, then it’s a different story. Personal plan—if you lose, don’t come find me.
Can this upward move hold into daytime? Watch the volume. If it doesn’t expand to over 2 billion, then it’s still just a stock-and-knife game of existing positions—easy to get dumped on in the morning.
Don’t chase. Wait for the pullback to confirm. (Label: midnight gainers list ETH crypto market early-morning行情)
ETH at this point is still trading with the big coin (“the big bag”), not moving independently. At midnight, liquidity is as thin as paper. Around 1,779, the limit orders are sparse—one big coin candle smashing down 300 points, and ETH can still follow with a 500-point swing.
Right now the correlation rate is about 0.9. As long as the big coin hasn’t moved, ETH gets stuck grinding between 1,770 and 1,785. MA5=1,776, MA20=1,768. Price is hovering between the two moving averages—neither up nor down. RSI 62.5—neither overbought nor oversold, and the directional bias is very weak. MACD is still bullish: DIF=2.48, but the reduced trading volume is very obvious. This bullish run doesn’t have volume backing it—feels like it’s hard-carrying without “eating.” Bollinger Band bandwidth is 2.3%, quite narrow. At this time of night, it’ll very likely keep squeezing and wobbling.
At midnight, support to watch is 1,737.34—that’s the low from 24 hours ago and also a high-transaction-density zone. If it breaks below 1,743.61, it won’t be able to hold. Resistance at 1,807.65. Above that, 1,805.84 is the rebound high. With no volume at midnight, trying to push through will be difficult.
If the big coin suddenly dumps in the middle of the night, ETH will most likely follow down first. If 1,737 can’t hold, then you’ll likely see around 1,700. If the big coin pumps instead, ETH needs to see whether 1,785 can hold. Only after it holds would I dare to test 1,800.
My plan: If it pulls back to around 1,740, I’ll try a small long position. Stop-loss at 1,735 below. Take-profit first at 1,780. If it breaks below 1,735 and then bounces back to around 1,750, I’ll consider a short. Stop-loss above 1,755. Target 1,720. Just my personal plan—if you lose money, don’t come find me.
This market is so exhausting to watch. I’m taking a break.
At 2 a.m. this game is more honest than during the day.
BTC is still hovering around 62,740, and there aren’t many watching at this hour anymore.
Trading volume has shrunk to 535 million—just a fraction of the usual average volume. Liquidity is as thin as paper; a single large order can punch through two or three moving average lines.
MA5 is at 62,766, and MA20 at 62,855. These two lines are pressing down on the price as it trends lower. RSI is 51.7, slightly bullish, but MACD is still in a dead cross state. DIF is only 3.35—dull and lifeless. The Bollinger Band width is 1.4%; price is leaning toward the upper band, but without volume it can’t push higher.
Overall, the outlook is bearish. It’s 0 bulls to 3 bears, and the signals are very consistent.
Key support is in the 62,068 to 62,118 range—the 24-hour low is right along here. If it can’t hold, it’s basically “drawing the gate.” Resistance is at 63,461, near the prior high. If the early-morning main players want to pump, they must eat through that level.
If, in the middle of the night, it suddenly jabs down and reaches around 62,000, I’ll consider a small long with a light position. Stop loss goes below 61,850; if it breaks, I’ll exit. The first target is MA20 at 62,850. After it clears, then look toward 63,000.
But don’t rush.
For tonight’s setup, I’m more inclined to wait for a rebound into the 63,300–63,400 zone. If it can’t get up there, that’s the place to open a short. Stop loss goes above 63,600; if it holds and stabilizes, then I’ll abandon the plan. First take-profit at 62,500; if it breaks, then watch 62,100.
There are only three early-morning scenarios: sideways, wick down (a pump-and-drop), or a dump.
If it goes sideways, then fine. If it wicks down, don’t chase. If it dumps, watch how support reacts.
These are the experiences of old small traders—figure it out yourself. If you lose money, don’t come looking for me.
At midnight I flipped open <t-2/> Black Swan and came across a line Taleb said—“We can’t predict black swans, but we can build a system that benefits from them.”
I just cut over to check the order book for $AIGENSYN .
0.029080—up more than 5% in 24 hours, with nearly $100 million USDT in trading volume.
On this chart, for every trade, someone thinks they’ve figured out the direction of the “next needle.”
I’d bet eighteen times out of twenty that they’re wrong.
The lesson from the book took me three years of losses to understand: the reason it’s called a black swan is that before it arrives, nobody knows it’s coming.
Whether it’s a spike or a delisting, true extreme events never come with a warning.
Position control isn’t for making you money.
It’s so that when the black swan lands, you’re still able to stand and speak.
In today’s 0.91 billion trading volume for $AIGENSYN , how many people are betting, “This time is different”?
I don’t know.
Anyway, as I watch this market, I’m not thinking about how high it can go.
I’m thinking about my position right now—if tomorrow it instantly halves, can I withstand it?
I copied Taleb’s line into my notebook and, as a matter of convenience, I’m sharing it with you.
Went over today’s market picture before bed. Honestly, today’s move had quite a lot of information.
Today, BTC ranged between 62,437 and 63,462, and finally closed at 62,792, for a full-day gain of +0.33%. What’s most worth watching in this chart isn’t the up-and-down itself, but whether the trading volume kept up. Today’s volume was 566 million USDT—honestly not very active—suggesting market sentiment is still fairly cautious.
ETH is a bit stronger here: up +0.13% for the day, closing at 1,766, with a trading range from 1,749 to 1,808. The linkage with Bitcoin is still very obvious—if BTC doesn’t move, it’s hard for ETH to trade independently.
The strongest performer today is $VANRY : up +49.27% for the day, with trading volume of 33 million. This kind of move is either capital setting up positions in advance, or sentiment-driven competition amplifying the volatility.
The most core signal today: whether BTC can increase volume at key levels will determine the next direction. Tomorrow, I’ll focus on whether BTC can hold the xxx level.
Did you land your prey today? Which coin are you most watching tomorrow?
The action in this market today has been brutal: ETH spent the whole day around 1764, moving less than $60 up or down, like it’s waiting for something.
As for ETH’s current price at 1764: over the past 24 hours it slid from 1808 to 1749. Trading volume is clearly shrinking—only about one-tenth of the average volume. The RSI has reached 35: it’s weak, but not yet oversold. The MACD is in a bearish configuration, with the DIF still negative and moving further downward. On the moving averages, MA5 is at 1762 and MA20 at 1772. Price is stuck in the middle—not going up, not going down. The short-term moving averages are quickly pressing down toward the longer-term ones.
What today’s chart tells me comes down to two things: first, the bulls don’t have the strength—shrinking-volume bounces can’t get traction. Second, the bears aren’t smashing through the support below either. S1 is around 1727—this was the stop-the-bleeding level from the prior two times. If 1727 breaks, it could get troublesome. R1 is at 1807; to move higher, it needs volume, and without it, price can’t get through.
Tomorrow is Monday. If it continues to bleed lower with shrinking volume at the open, this 1727 support will be tested repeatedly. If there’s a volume breakdown below it, the next support is around 1715. For a rebound, first watch whether MA20 at 1772 can hold steady—only then can price challenge 1807.
My own plan is this: if it pulls back into the 1727–1730 range, I’ll open a small long position. I’ll place a stop-loss below 1722; if it breaks, I’ll admit the loss. First target: 1760. If that breaks through, then I’ll look at 1772. If the rebound pushes above 1800 without volume, I’ll consider opening a small short around 1805, with a stop-loss placed above 1815.
All of the above is just my personal plan—if you lose money, don’t come looking for me.
This market is exhausting to watch. I’m going to rest.
