$JCT This plunge from 0.01 to 0.003775, down 32.94% in 24 hours, came with a trading volume of $355 million. Retail traders see a crash—but what are the whales doing? I noticed one signal: the volume profile of this candlestick looks off. Normal panic selling is a slow decline on shrinking volume, but JCT plunged on heavy volume. Turnover reached this level, which suggests someone placed large buy orders below 0.004 to accumulate tokens—and they were buying in batches, not all at once. On the order book, buy orders at the same price level between 0.0037 and 0.0038 repeatedly appeared, were canceled, and then reappeared—a classic price-suppression accumulation tactic. The goal is to make retail traders think support is weak so they’ll hand over their tokens.
The second thing I noticed: JCT’s 24-hour low is displayed as 0.00, suggesting there was a brief, extremely sharp wick. The window was so short that retail traders couldn’t react in time. But during that period, large on-chain transfers showed net inflows to exchanges. In other words, someone first triggered panic selling, then scooped up the tokens at lower prices, keeping their average cost extremely low. This kind of wick isn’t natural volatility; someone acted after calculating the market’s liquidity depth.
The third signal: JCT’s $355 million trading volume is enormous relative to its market cap, and turnover is extraordinarily high, yet the price hasn’t continued falling. That suggests the selling pressure has been absorbed. Whales aren’t selling at this level; they’re rotating holdings, shaking out traders who bought near the top and bringing in a new batch of lower-cost tokens. At 0.003775, the price has been cut in half twice compared with the 24-hour high of 0.01, but volume hasn’t dried up. That’s evidence someone is supporting the price below.
My take is straightforward: this sharp drop in JCT is a shakeout, not a crash. The signs that whales are building positions between 0.0037 and 0.0038 are too obvious. Put the wick, canceled orders, and heavy-volume buying together, and their intentions are hard to hide. Next, watch whether it can quickly reclaim 0.004. If it does, that’s a sign the shakeout is over. Let’s wait and see. See you in the comments��
