I just came across an announcement on the official Chinese-language account and website: the VIP Level Protection Plan.

From October 21 to 30 (UTC), if you reached VIP1 to VIP9 at any point, the system will preserve the highest level you attained during that period. From November 3 to December 2 (UTC), for about 30 days, your level won’t drop—you don’t need to do anything; you’ll be enrolled automatically. After the protection period, the usual evaluation rules apply again.

The hexagram is Dui over Dui, with the second line changing. Lake water nourishes what lies below; first, the foundation is steadied. I’m inclined to see this as “holding your level in place for now”: those who’ve seen a lot of volatility lately won’t lose their status because of a few rough days. Those who qualify for an upgrade will still level up as usual, and those who aren’t included can simply check the official details.

BTC is around 77,900 and ETH around 2,290 right now. The market is fairly ordinary, so I’ll most likely wait and see how the protection window is implemented rather than make a bold call on price movements.

Are you on the protection list? Leave a comment and let me know.
