I just glanced at the data—there’s something going on.

This move isn’t about just one coin dropping; it’s a collective flash crash across a bunch of small-cap coins. $PHB got dumped, down nearly 70%, and $NFP isn’t far behind, down 66%. I checked BTC too—it’s only down 0.38%, which suggests the broader market hasn’t really moved and the bears haven’t fully gone all out.

So who’s selling? Either the team behind the projects has run, or there’s a chain reaction of contract liquidations. From the trading volume, PHB did 1.5 million in volume and NFP did 3.8 million. That’s not a huge amount, which means the dumpers aren’t many—but the buyers stepping in are even fewer.

Can you bottom-fish?

I suggest you take your fingers off the keyboard. A 70% drop isn’t a pullback—it’s an accident. I’ve seen too many examples of “catching the blade with another blade.” Either the project’s fundamentals have a problem, or it was already being manipulated and retail holders were set up to get cut. If you rush in now, the market-maker might be just short of the liquidity from you at this moment.

BTC’s funding rate is still at 0.0072%, so the bulls haven’t entirely died. As long as the overall market holds up, these small coins may still see a second leg down—then we’ll reassess. Not bottom-fishing now is the biggest discipline.

Do you have the habit of bottom-fishing coins like these?
