36.6%!USELESS Today directly rips through the entire field, at a price of 0.0913, it went from 0.062 to 0.0948 in 24 hours. This surge in volume is 3 times the average! Honestly, I’ve been watching this coin for a while. Previously I always thought its name was too ridiculous, so I didn’t get on—yes, I’m that shallow. Then today it gave me a lesson— in this market, the more absurd the name, the harder it pumps. I’m convinced.

Let’s talk about this USELESS first. The current price is 0.0913. It’s only 3.7% away from the 24h high of 0.09487—basically moving right along the “ceiling.” Over the past 8 candlesticks, the range is 0.07228 to 0.09487, and the current price is at about 90% of that range. This is a classic strong-bull breakout pattern. Volume is 3x the average, which means it’s not just retail self-amusement—real money is pushing it.

For a short-term play: if it pulls back to 0.088–0.090 without breaking, you can look for a bullish direction. Put the stop-loss below 0.082. The first target is the prior high at 0.0948. After a breakout, look for the psychological level of 0.10 (the integer mark). Let’s calculate the risk-reward. Entry at 0.089, stop at 0.0815, target at 0.095. Risk is 7.5 points, reward is 6.7 points, RR is roughly 1:0.9… To be honest, this RR isn’t particularly attractive. But considering how strong today’s volume breakout is, the trend inertia is still there.

The trade invalidation is simple: if it drops back below 0.085 and volume is expanding, it means the breakout is fake—don’t get stuck fighting it. Also, if it spikes up to around 0.095 and you see a long upper wick, be careful—that could be a sign of short-term distribution.

Next, 0G. It’s up 31.81%, now at 0.2217. The narrative on this one is pretty interesting: Web3’s biggest deAIOS and L1 ecosystem, doing AI infrastructure. The concept is solid. But pay attention—the funding rate is -0.1698%, meaning shorts are overheated. It’s a double-edged sword: on one hand, it suggests many people don’t believe it can keep climbing; on the other hand, once the price stabilizes, short-covering can fuel another push higher. The current price is at about 76% of the range. Support is 0.2009, resistance is 0.2418. Volume is 1.1x the average—not crazy, but combined with the negative funding rate, I think this is a classic squeeze-forcing rally.

For a mid-term view: if it pulls back to the 0.205–0.21 area and holds, you can look bullish. Stop-loss at 0.195. First target 0.24; if it breaks through, look for 0.26. Risk-reward: entry at 0.208, stop at 0.195, target at 0.24. Risk 1.3, reward 3.2, RR about 1:2.5—this math is workable.

Invalidation condition: if it breaks below 0.20 and closes below, it means the shorts have won—don’t stubbornly hold on.

SKR is also extremely strong today at +24.84%, but its volume is only 0.4x the average—rallies on shrinking volume. That feels a bit fake. Funding rate is -0.3363%, shorts are extremely crowded. In theory, there should be room for a rebound, but a shrinking-volume rally is something to watch—pullbacks can happen at any time. Current price is 0.0284, around 73% of the range. Support is 0.02571, resistance is 0.03045.

For this coin’s short-term setup, I’m more cautious. If you’re already on the train, you can hold and watch for the prior high around 0.0304. If you haven’t entered, the risk-reward of chasing higher isn’t great—wait for a pullback to 0.026–0.027, then reassess a bullish direction. Stop-loss 0.0245, target 0.0305, RR about 1:2—not bad, but the premise is that volume has to pick up. If volume keeps shrinking, this move may just be an emotion-driven pulse.

For the broader market: BTC is at 78,957, ETH at 2,478—mostly sideways consolidation. The Fear & Greed Index is 50, neutral but slightly cautious. In this position, I wouldn’t chase, but I also wouldn’t be bearish. My stance is: the market has no direction; only altcoins have opportunities. Today’s gainers list is all small-cap names flying—it shows capital is hunting for incremental opportunities. In this kind of environment, it’s actually a good time to trade altcoin swings.

On the losers list: BTR is down 40%, CYS down 24%—both because they pumped too hard earlier. That’s exactly why I keep emphasizing the importance of stop-losses. Last week I suffered a big loss on CYS. I chased in high, and the very next day it gave you a jump-dive—too much said, it’s just tears.

So remember: no matter how hard it pumps, you can’t lose risk control.

To sum up my thoughts: USELESS is the strongest today, but chasing has higher risk—waiting for a pullback is more stable. 0G’s negative funding rate plus the AI narrative gives it the biggest mid-term potential in my opinion. SKR is on shrinking volume, so treat it cautiously. Which one do you think can continue into tomorrow? Let’s chat in the comments.
