What happens during a leverage-driven altseason is exactly what happened. This dip isn’t a normal dip. Some big institutional money, billions of dollars in alts, got liquidated—especially ETH. People went heavily long on ETH because BTC had already crossed $90k, and they thought ETH was late to the party, so they went long. All those longs got liquidated, and that’s why altcoins are suffering so much.
Can you believe this price? But why did the longs get liquidated? Because of Trump—imposing erratic taxes, and Canada retaliated with countermeasures against the US. People assumed that if Trump came back, there would be rate cuts, but that didn’t happen. Inflation isn’t decreasing, so cutting rates isn’t a good decision right now. When big institutions saw all this, they started pulling out their investments. Such a massive dump wouldn’t have been possible otherwise; the long liquidations dragged the prices down to unbelievable levels.
The question is, what should you do now? I’m a very cautious trader. Most of the time, I try to protect my portfolio. Rarely do I keep more than 50% of my portfolio invested; I usually trade with just 20–30% and keep the rest aside. That’s why I managed to survive since my market exposure wasn’t too high. I had taken a long position on TIA coin with a stop-loss, which hit at a $77 loss. I also went long on Trump coin at $18.2, and I’m in a loss there too. I had AXL in my spot bag, did DCA at the right time, so I’m at break-even now, but I had to invest 3x more than my original plan for AXL.
I also bought some $ARB , $ZK , and $STRK —these are ETH L2 tokens because they’re cheap now. Overall, 20% of my portfolio is invested.
Carefully watch the US market’s reaction today after 6 PM. I’ll set my stop-loss 20% below the current price. Let’s see what happens.
Price to remember: ARB was below 0.4, Eigen was 1.8, dot 3.8, OP 0.78 TAO 234 APT 4.5 AXL 0.32 LPT 6.5 Cake 1.12 IMX 0.64 TIA 2.35

This market is making people emotionally exhausted. Wait, tomorrow is another big event. I told you a few days back that Thursday and Friday were going to be bad. The question is, why did I say that?
Can you recall August 5, 2024? Check the price of all the coins. The entire world’s stock market faced a major shakeout. NASDAQ dropped 16%. And why did this happen? Because Japan increased its interest rate. For those who don’t know, taking loans from Japanese banks is almost free. You can borrow money from Japan and invest in the U.S. stock market without paying any interest.
However, on July 31, 2024, Japan suddenly raised its interest rate to 0.25%. Japan is one of the most powerful economies in the world. Since the interest rate is so low, large institutions and companies take loans and invest in the stock markets.
Now, tomorrow is the date when Japan’s Federal Reserve will sit together to decide how much they will increase their rate this time. It is expected that the new interest rate will be 0.5%, which means they will increase it by another 0.25%.
Now, what will the reaction be? Many people are afraid and think the reaction will be the same as it was in August 2024. But let me tell you what will happen. In August, people were not prepared for Japan to suddenly increase the rate by 0.25%. It came as a complete surprise.
But this time, there’s a 95% chance that they will increase it by another 0.25%. This means the market has already priced in this news. So, when the news is published, there’s a good chance the market might surprise us with a pump.
However, if they decide to increase the rate by less than 0.25%, the market will pump significantly. And there’s almost no chance that they will increase it by more than 0.25%.
Still, sometimes the reaction is more important than the news itself. We need to observe this very carefully.

Market is sucking the liquidity out of the alt coins. Specially this Trump coin launch won’t bring anything good in alt market.
People paid 100k for the VIP tickets for the Crypto Ball event. Trump might have given them a chance to buy early.
The tokenomics matches the distribution mentioned on its website. Already generated 30m in fees and Raydium is pumping.
ETH/BTC is creating a double bottom could be a good sign for alt coin unless it break down and go dipper. BTC at its peak, I am watching very carefully.
I will look into $RPL, $AXL, $Super and few others. I will stay away from any Solana based memecoin as I think most of the liquidity from those memecoin will go to Trump coin.
Time to buy American coins. Tell me what are the coins that has head office or the founder based on America. Tomorrow trump will come to crypto hall to give a speech mainly on crypto, people paid 100k to get a single ticket, few paid million dollars.
Few names that I know as American coins are
1. Avax 2. Hbar 3. XRP 4. Aptos 5. Sol 6. XRP 7. Render 8. Ondo 9. XLM
Market Sentiment and TRUMP’s Impact: What to Expect Ahead of January 20th
The market is getting ready for a pump with TRUMP coming to power. The dollar is getting stronger, the DXY chart is climbing, and as a result, the traditional market and risk investment markets are experiencing a decline. 😀
But will TRUMP really cause a pump in the market? TRUMP coming on January 20th isn’t a surprise news. The market has already “priced in” this event a long time ago. So, why would there be a pump when TRUMP takes office? By then, the market would have already “priced in” th
The crypto market operates in cycles, and pumps often rotate throughCrypto Market Rotation and Opportunities different sectors. We’ve witnessed how Bitcoin leads the market, followed by large-cap tokens. Now, attention is shifting toward mid-cap tokens with market caps between $250 million and $1 billion. These tokens can provide significant upside during sector-specific trends.
Sectoral Rotations to Watch 1. Memecoins: Often pump during hype cycles. Recently quiet but always worth monitoring.
This alt season is entirely leverage-driven so far. A 5-10% dip in Bitcoin can cause a diarrhea-like crash in altcoins. Leverage traders must be extremely careful, keeping their liquidity deep and using very low leverage. High leverage equals death in this market. When buying any token, check how far it is from its all-time high.
Currently, even inexperienced investors, like grandmas and grandpas, are entering the market. They don’t understand market cap and only see how low a coin is from its all-time high, thinking of profits if it returns to that level.
For example, XVG: if it goes back to its all-time high, it would need a 50X increase. These investors, seeing such potential, are blindly buying. Dinosaur coins like EOS, which have had no news in the past two years, pumping, are a sign that “dumb money” is entering the market.
At Christmas or Thanksgiving dinners, these people discuss which coins to buy. Someone mentions a coin that did 100X in the last bull run, and others rush to buy it.
Your task is to identify coins that haven’t done a 2X yet and are still far from their all-time highs. Search, analyze, and trade wisely. Holding dollars won’t bring profit; take some risks. If you don’t take risks in this market, when will you?
Navigating the Bull Run: BTC’s $100K Target, Altcoin Trends, and Strategic Moves
When an event unfolds, we often fail to notice it in real-time. Upon careful observation, it becomes clear that most altcoins, except for a few specific big-cap alts, are trending downward. By the time you realize it, alts will have already dropped significantly. So, it’s wise to book your spot alt profits early.
I’ve closed all my investments. While I couldn’t maximize my profits entirely, coins like Cake, XTZ, Bonk, and Aptos are still running but haven’t yielded profits yet. Some small-cap t
Navigating the Next Correction: Key Narratives and Opportunities
Every bull market sees a correction, and this bull market will be no exception. Typically, a correction follows an election. While we don’t know exactly when this correction will occur, it’s important to be prepared. When the correction comes, it will likely feel like the market won’t recover, but remember this: the faster the market falls during a bull run, the faster it typically recovers.
In the 2021 bull market, the first bull run ended towards the end of April. A major correction followed
Crypto Market Trends in 2024: Analyzing the Surge of Meme, RWA, Gaming, AI, and DeFi Projects
The crypto landscape since 2023 has seen some major narratives shape its trends and performance. Key sectors that dominated include Meme projects, Real-World Assets (RWA), Gaming/Gamify projects, and AI-related ventures. Each of these sectors has carved out its niche, capturing attention for various reasons. However, amid the excitement for these areas, DeFi (Decentralized Finance) projects, once seen as the pioneers of decentralized tech, have faced significant headwinds, largely due to regulat
From Copy-Paste Coins to Meme Coin Mania: Understanding the Hype-Driven Crypto Market
Imagine you take Bitcoin’s (BTC) code, make the block time faster, add a few minor tweaks, and launch a new coin called Litecoin ($LTC). Despite promises for further improvements, you don’t change much after launch. Then, someone else sees this and thinks, “I could create a coin too.” They copy Litecoin’s code, make small changes, randomize the block rewards, and name it Luckycoin. However, people didn’t like this randomized reward system, so the project fails.
I couldn’t buy most of what I had planned; in my spot holdings, I just bought a satisfactory amount of EGLD at an average price of $22 because I’ve been accumulating EGLD for over 6 months. I would convert a significant portion of my profits into EGLD. I don’t have very high expectations from this coin; it’s not that I think this project will yield huge profits. I bought it because I believe EGLD is one of the best layer-1 projects in the crypto industry. That’s why I never suggest others buy it; suggesting it might raise their expectations. This coin should be bought without expectations—maybe after 10 years, I’ll see if it actually grows.
Anyway, in my spot holdings, I have SUPER, MPL, IMX, CAKE, UMA, LRC, and yesterday I bought 1k USDT worth of ALPACA, which I’ve already sold today. But I’ve bought only a quarter of what I had budgeted for each of these coins. Honestly, 80% of my funds are still in USDT. Today on-chain, I saw a huge inflow of many tokens into Binance; these include RPL, LRC, UMA, DOGE, W, and BLZ. So, it might be a bit tough for these coins to rise at this moment.
I’m really struggling to control my FOMO. My mistake was that I traded in the market expecting Trump would come, but I was thinking it would be Kamala. So, when Trump won, if I had just admitted my mistake and invested more funds right then, I could have DCA’d on what I already bought—but I didn’t do that. People learn from their mistakes, and so did I. But right now, I don’t want to put more money into the market. I have no choice but to wait. If I miss the bull run, so be it; my analysis works better in a bear market. In a bear market, the differences in volume are more noticeable, but in a bull market, demand is so high that it’s hard to distinguish which token is exactly bullish—almost everything looks bullish. But I also don’t have the time and patience to analyze so much data all day on my own; I actually need 2-3 helping hands.
