【When Everyone Starts Taking a Hands-Off Approach, the Market Is Actually at Its Most Dangerous】
I saw a similar scene in the winter of 2018.
EOS had fallen nearly 80% from its peak. No one in the community talked about the “Ethereum killer” anymore, and people who had bought TRX were cursing Justin Sun. Market sentiment back then felt a bit like it does now—not the panic that follows a crash, but the numbness of “whatever, I don’t care anymore.”
TRX is in a similar place now. The FNG Index is at 57, with a weekly average of just 63, and sentiment is slipping. The price is hovering around support at 0.32, and trading volume is pitifully low.
But I want to offer a different perspective.
In this latest rebound, TRX is down 24% from its ATH and 4% over the past 30 days. Honestly, compared with many altcoins, that’s relatively restrained. The problem isn’t TRX itself; it’s overall market sentiment. What does BTC dominance at 59.3% tell us? There’s only so much capital to go around: people either pile into BTC or sit on the sidelines.
So, can TRX’s narrative actually translate into real-world results?
From a business perspective, the Tron network does have a place in the stablecoin space—fast transfers and low fees. I’ve verified that myself; it’s not just hype. But whether that slice of the pie is big enough to support TRX’s valuation is another question.
My take: At this stage, sentiment and fundamentals are disconnected. When sentiment is poor, even good assets can get unfairly punished; when sentiment is high, even junk can take off. This kind of choppy period could last as little as two or three months, or as long as half a year.
Who will be affected? Those holding TRX either have to ride it out or cut their losses and leave. The ones truly affected aren’t the TRX project itself, but people who want to make a quick buck and can’t stomach the wait.
I don’t think TRX’s story is over yet. It’ll take time to recover, but its underlying fundamentals aren’t bad.
What do you think—at this price, should we ride it out or get out?
