【Like the altcoin exodus in 2021: when panic is at its worst, higher trading volume doesn’t necessarily mean more buyers are stepping in】
Over the past 7 days, ENA has fallen 18.7%; it dropped another 5% in the past 24 hours, bringing its 30-day decline to 32.4%. Last cycle, I judged that selling pressure wasn’t over, and I got that part right. But I mistook the unusually high volume for a sign of a rebound after a shakeout. I was wrong. Volume exceeding 5% of market cap could mean panic-driven turnover, or it could mean holders are continuing to lose conviction. The market hasn’t given me an answer either way.
What I most need to review this time isn’t whether support around 0.129 will hold, but the fact that I still treated “down 91% from ATH” as proof that it was cheap. A price decline only tells us sentiment is cold; it doesn’t mean value has returned.
On paper, ENA’s investment thesis has to connect product usage, revenue sources, and value accrual to the token. If demand doesn’t pick up and revenue can’t be retained, what entitles token holders to a share of the business’s value? Those affected aren’t just secondary-market holders, but also funds relying on returns from related products, market makers, and arbitrageurs. This business case doesn’t prove itself.
My view has changed this week: being oversold may explain a rebound, but it doesn’t explain persistent selling pressure. Next week, I’ll be watching to see whether price and volume stabilize, not how much bigger a story people can spin. How are you feeling right now—itching to trade? #ENA #加密市场 #MIHAO #MarketSense
