【Don’t you think if it drops for a month you should just run? No—this is precisely the most dangerous time】
Retail traders have a habit: once they see a coin dropping for a month, they think, “It’s over—the whales have left. I should get out.” But look at ONDO’s data: in the past 30 days it fell by nearly 6 points—so, logically, people should be shrinking back and waiting. What happened instead? The Fear & Greed Index is 71, weekly average 70, and market sentiment is even more excited than when it was rallying.
This is the most wild thing about the crypto world—when the coin is falling, people go crazy.
I’ve seen this kind of mismatch more than once. Every time you reach a stage where “people think they’re about to get rich while they’re clearly losing money,” the outcome is never good. Why? Because when the sentiment index rises, leverage is often stacking up too. You think everyone is buying spot? No—many people have already borrowed money to rush in.
Look at BTC’s market dominance at 59.2%. That’s not a low figure, which means the money is still mostly over in BTC. Smaller coins like ONDO, at a position like this, rising in tandem with the sentiment index—who’s pushing the move? Either retail traders are chasing in, or the derivatives market is taking the other side in a gamble. Either way, it’s all just piling more explosives into a barrel.
I’m not saying I’m bearish on ONDO, and I don’t know how high it can go. The point is: you need to understand what this position means right now—sentiment is high, the coin is low, and BTC is drawing attention. This combination is either calm before the storm, or someone is getting buried at this spot.
If you have ONDO in your hands, how are you viewing this move? For those with heavy positions, have you considered hedging a bit?
