Today is day 368 since then. Going by the script from the previous two cycles, BTC should by now have just clawed its way back from a 70–80% crash: on the same day in 2018, it was down 79.5% from its peak; in 2022, it was down 76.3%. This cycle, BTC is around $82,600, just 34.5% below its peak.
$SOL, we got the double bottom we want, but would like to buy it when it back to uptrend range to be safe, SOL is good, but its not BTC. our love has conditions 😉
The United States may sell gold to buy stablecoins, causing the gold held by hostile countries like Russia and China to devalue. Using stablecoins to pay off debts, in no time at all, the 35 trillion debt is settled. Finally, withdraw the liquidity of stablecoins with one click.

Currently, the total market value of cryptocurrency is at a peak of 4 trillion, now around 3.8, the most reliable 10x coin at the moment is actually Bitcoin.

watching XRP closely, it already breakout, still in retest phase, if new support hold, then can safely be chase. (personnally think it will go to previous month low @2.72, lets see )
Because of the new Binance Funding rate mechanism , we are looking at a exchange induced alt season. take a look of important Binance announcement about funding rate in April 25th.
Any max funding in futures, will trigger 1h frequency funding, this makes impulse move last longer and more volatile. and more crazy move like TRB,BLZ,OM,ORCA,ALPACA,AUCTION,VOXEL
VOXEL is built from the bottom up, and when it reaches the upper limit and the funding rate but has already taken profit, it will switch hands and reopen because opening a moving robot, if it continues to be bullish, the moving grid brings very little profit, it is better to reopen a new position for the directional robot.
Why not set the upper limit high enough all at once? Because the risks are different. Maintaining a 2-30% profit-taking range and reassessing whether to re-enter at the point is the least risky, however, the risk of a -2% rate is now lower, and the exchange encourages the contract price to chase the difference with the spot price.
