Crypto | Bottom Watch | September 5

Down 80% and still sideways for 70 days—this a trap or the bottom?

Honestly, after scanning today’s bottom-hunter data, I felt a chill down my spine.

$RECALL score 68, down 75.8%, sideways for 70 days. This kind of patience isn’t something retail investors can endure; either the project team has no money, or big holders are quietly accumulating.

TRUTH is down 81.1%, ALLO is down 87%, and both have also been flat for 4–5 months, with current prices at 0.0168 and 0.0862.

My experience: a sharp drop plus a long sideways range usually means signs of accumulation by the main players, but you have to rule out the risk of going to zero first. I won’t jump in immediately; I’ll only consider it after two signals:

1. A volume breakout above the top of the sideways range, with a big bullish candle to ignite the move
2. Whale addresses on-chain starting to become active

On the news side, $SUI is still down 6% after ETF inclusion, so good news has turned into bad news once priced in. The $TON wallet cross-chain rollout has landed, but I still don’t dare chase it at this position.

The bottom hunter only tells me someone is doing work here; it doesn’t mean a pump is coming right away. My stance today: place orders and watch, don’t chase highs.

Do you think these old coins that have been sideways for three months are opportunities or traps? Let’s chat in the comments.
