The group is still spamming, “This wave is different.”
I went through the chat history. Three months ago, one year ago, two years ago—same batch of accounts, using a different coin to make the same calls.
The only difference is the person telling the story. The same thing is the person who ends up losing money.
Just now I checked $ETH . 1,735. In the past 24 hours it’s down 2.39%, with trading volume of 409 million. At this level, both bulls and bears are shouting their own logic.
But the market can’t lie. It’s only repeating the script from every previous bull-and-bear cycle—the prices are right there, and the story is all coming from the group members.
Don’t misunderstand. I’m not saying whether this is the start of a rebound or more downside. I just feel like today’s market is reminding me: do you believe the data, or the people in that group who are calling trades?
At midnight I just glanced at the gainers list—AIGENSYN quietly jumped 3.7%.
The fake ranking at dawn is cleaner than during the day. No emotions, no FOMO—just reading the numbers.
AIGENSYN is currently 0.026960; the 24-hour swing is under 12%, with trading volume of 131 million U. It’s in a shrinking-volume state. No new money is coming in—just existing liquidity shifting around.
Liquidity is low at this hour. If it rises now, it could be a single needle piercing through resistance—or it could just piss it back to square one. Easy to spike up and crash down; don’t get carried away.
RSI is only 44.5, which is relatively weak. MACD is bullish, but the DIF is close to the zero line, not a strong signal. MA5 and MA20 are stuck together, with no clear direction.
Key support S1 is at 0.0255, right around the 24-hour low. Resistance R1 is at 0.0286—only if it breaks through that level can it be called a trend reversal. Right now the price is hanging in the middle, neither up nor down.
If it pulls back to around 0.0255, I’d consider testing a long position with a small size; I’ll place a stop-loss below 0.0250—if it breaks, I’ll exit. First watch for 0.0286; if it clears that, then we look at 0.03.
The above is just my personal plan, not a signal to trade. Use your own judgment.
Will it be able to continue tomorrow morning? Watch the volume. Right now volume is shrinking; there’s no incremental demand, so it’s hard for this rally to sustain. Wait until daybreak and see whether volume comes in to fill up.
BTC is still doing the “big pancake” move at this point; ETH hasn’t broken out independently.
At 1:73 AM, it’s trading sideways on shrinking volume. MA5=1,731 is tracking price closely, while MA20=1,746 is capping above. The short-term moving averages are in a bearish order.
RSI=36.3—it's not oversold, but it's already in a weak zone. MACD DIF=-11.55; the negative histogram bars are still expanding. The Bollinger Band width is 5.4%, indicating a tight contraction—suggesting it’s still waiting for the variables during the night.
If BTC suddenly inserts a sharp wick downward at midnight, ETH at 1,713 (24h low and also S1) will likely break. Once it breaks, you’ll need to watch the 1,700 psychological level—there are dense short orders there, which can accelerate the move.
If BTC unexpectedly rebounds, ETH will focus on two resistance levels: 1,746 (MA20) and 1,816 (R2). If the rebound fails to clear MA20 on shrinking volume, that’s likely a fakeout.
When placing orders at dawn: liquidity is low and the order book is thin. Don’t set limit orders here to try to trade the range—there’s a high chance of getting swept. Market orders also need confirmation from a lower timeframe volume expansion; if you get a single small-volume push candle, it’s most likely a trap.
My own plan is bearish. If it rebounds into the 1,740–1,746 zone, I’ll consider a small-position short, with a stop-loss placed above 1,752. First target is 1,713; if that breaks, then look at 1,700. If it directly breaks 1,713, I won’t chase—I’ll wait for the heavy selling to finish on increased volume before considering anything.
RSI and MACD are both on the bearish side. The volume multiple is 0.0x; shrinking volume implies the “buyer side” is weak. Any rebound is fuel for the shorts. Until I see signs of bullish volume expansion, I won’t catch falling knives.
(Everything above is just my personal plan, not a call to trade.)
The order book at 2 a.m. is more honest than the daytime.
BTC is still hovering around 61,704, and the trading volume has shrunk to 1.2 billion. Not many people are watching this hour anymore.
The MACD is in a bearish arrangement. DIF is -423, and the DIF line is still probing lower—there are no golden cross signals.
RSI is 23.8, very clearly an oversold zone. But oversold doesn’t equal a bottom. At that time of night, liquidity is thin, so it’s normal for the bears to smash through in one go.
MA5 is 61,842, already pressed down. Price is sitting below all moving averages. MA20 at 62,574 is the ceiling that the daytime bounce couldn’t get past.
The Bollinger Bands are opening slightly upward. The band width is 4.9%, not wide, and the direction hasn’t come out yet. If there’s a sudden wick spike, the move won’t be small.
Key support to watch is 61,545—the 24h low is sitting on it. If this breaks, the next psychological level is around 60,800, but liquidity is poor, so dropping into 60,000 is possible.
Resistance is at 62,574 (MA20) and 64,700 (R1). Getting up there at this hour is difficult unless there’s a sudden piece of news.
If it really spikes (a wick) below 61,545, don’t rush to buy. Wait until the 15-minute timeframe holds steady first. A decreasing-volume bounce is a trap.
My plan is: keep observing. If the rebound reaches around 62,574, consider a light short position. Set a stop-loss at 62,650. First look for 61,800; if it breaks, then watch 61,545. The stop-loss is mandatory. Getting swept by stop-loss orders at night is all too common. If you lose money, don’t come looking for me.
Going long in the oversold zone isn’t impossible, but you need to wait for a comeback with increased volume back above 61,800 to confirm. Not touching it now.
This market is really exhausting to watch. I’m taking a break.
Just finished reading a line from "On Protracted War" and felt chills down my back. He said, “The purpose of strategic retreat is to preserve military strength and prepare for a counteroffensive.”
After doing coins for these years, the biggest lesson is: this isn’t a short-term contest where it’s you die or I die. It’s a long-term tug-of-war between discipline and human nature.
Today, on the $ETH market, price is 1,733; in the past 24h it’s down 2.27%, with volume of 458 million USDT. Not deep, but it grinds you underwater.
Every time you get an itch to chase, remember one word: why the rush? This play is measured in years.
Later in "On Protracted War" there’s another line: “A war of quick decision is not protracted war.” The more urgently you try to get your money back, the easier it is to get harvested repeatedly.
Now at the $ETH level, volume hasn’t shrunk, price hasn’t stabilized, and nothing has been confirmed.
It’s not predicting how it will move—it's reminding yourself: don’t catch thrown knives, and don’t wait for confirmation.
Today’s chart is a perfect footnote to “protracted war”: whether you stare at it or not, it’s still there—the thing that’s急 is your emotions, not the market.
I went over today’s market board before bed. To be honest, today’s move had quite a lot of information.
Today, BTC moved back and forth between 61,632 and 64,244, and ultimately closed at 61,940, down 1.73% for the day. What’s most worth watching about this trend isn’t the rise or fall itself, but whether the trading volume keeps up. Today’s trading volume was 1.309 billion USDT—honestly not very active—which suggests the market sentiment is still fairly cautious.
ETH is a bit weaker: down 1.72% for the day, closing at 1,737, with a fluctuation range of 1,725 to 1,813. The correlation with BTC is still very obvious—if BTC doesn’t move, it’s hard for ETH to run independently.
The strongest today is $SNDKB , up 6.63% for the day, with trading volume of 0.31 hundred million. This kind of move is either due to capital positioning in advance, or it’s sentiment-driven volatility being amplified in the battle for direction.
The most core signal today: can BTC increase volume at key levels? That will determine the next direction. Tomorrow I’ll focus on whether BTC’s xxx level can hold.
Did you land your prey today? Which coin are you most watching tomorrow?
Today’s trade has gone like this: the big coin is shrinking in volume and drifting downward. It’s moved steadily from 64,000 to 62,000, with trading volume of 1.3 billion yuan—less than even half of the usual days.
The current BTC price is 61,890. The RSI has dropped to around 26, which clearly indicates an oversold condition. The MACD dead cross is still moving downward; the DIF is around -380, and the bearish alignment hasn’t changed. Both the MA5 and MA20 are above the price, pressing down. The price is basically scraping lower along the moving averages. A sell-off on reduced volume suggests there are no buyers stepping in and there’s also no panic—just grinding.
Support is around 61,700–61,740, near the prior low’s dense zone. Resistance is at 64,700, also where the short-term moving averages are pressing down. The oversold signal is the only bit of confidence for the bulls, but without a volume-backed rebound, oversold conditions can keep worsening.
As for tomorrow: if it retraces to around 61,700 and doesn’t break, I might take a small long position. My stop-loss would be below 61,300. First target: 62,000; if that breaks through, then look at 63,000. If it keeps grinding and rebounds toward 63,000 without volume, I’ll stay put.
After dinner, I took a quick look at the gainers board—turns out the strongest move in the last two hours of the day was actually $ETH .
I checked the data, and there’s really nothing surprising on the board. ETH is down 1.84%, trading at 1,748. Don’t be fooled by the green—it's just paying off the debt from this afternoon.
Looking at the fund flows, the trading volume is 473 million USDT, only a fraction of the 20-day average volume. It’s contracting—no substance. This isn’t real money pushing it; it’s just that the shorts have temporarily caught their breath.
Technicals are all bearish. RSI is 35.2, almost touching the oversold line but not quite there. MACD is still below water, mouth open—DIF is negative 10, with zero sign of convergence. MA5 is at 1,741, MA20 at 1,763, and the price is being pinned down by those two shots. Bollinger Band width is 4.7%, leaning toward the upper band; it suggests there is room both up and down, but the direction is downward.
Can this breakout hold tomorrow? Just relying on a low-volume pullback rally won’t get it going. Unless, tonight, it suddenly puts volume behind it and holds steady above 1,763 (MA20); otherwise, tomorrow morning it will most likely retrace to test the 1,725 support.
Chasing it late is high risk. What does a low-volume rebound fear the most? It fears the shorts making a comeback overnight and smashing through support with one hammer strike.
Here’s my plan: If it retraces to around 1,725, I’ll enter a small long position, with a stop-loss placed below 1,720—if it breaks, I’ll get out. Take profit first at 1,763; if it passes, then look at 1,816. If it immediately rebounds to around 1,816, I won’t chase—instead I’ll consider a small short, with a stop-loss above 1,830. If it can’t get above and hold, then stay short.
The above is just my personal pre-market plan—if you lose money, don’t blame me.
This market is really exhausting. I’m calling it a night.
ETH has been hovering around 1,739 for most of the night; it’s still grinding at this level.
Trading volume today has shrunk significantly—only about 30% of the average daily volume, and there’s no momentum in the market. RSI has dropped to 29.9, already stepping into the oversold zone. The bears can’t seem to push it down further, but it also can’t be lifted up. MACD is still in a bearish alignment: DIF at -11.3. The short-term moving average MA5 is pressing at 1,741, MA20 is at 1,765, and the price is moving under the pressure of these two moving averages. The Bollinger Band width is only 4.9%, with the upper and lower bands squeezed tightly—this is a signal of an upcoming breakout.
Below, S1 is at 1,725. During the daytime today, price touched 1,725.18 once but didn’t break it, so for now it counts as a solid support. Further down, around 1,728.95, it’s very close to 1,725. If this area can’t hold, then there’s no clear floor below. Above, R2 is at 1,816.8, which basically overlaps with MA20. Any rebound back to this level would be a point of resistance.
The bias is bearish, but I’m not in a hurry to chase. If BTC suddenly turns and dumps lower tonight, ETH will most likely follow down. If 1,725 fails, the next target is the 1,700 psychological level. If BTC holds steady or even rebounds, ETH first needs to reclaim and stand above the MA5 at 1,741 before there’s a real chance.
My own plan is to wait for a pullback toward the 1,725 area, then open a small long position. I’ll place the stop loss below 1,715 and first watch MA20 at 1,765—if it breaks, then look to 1,816. If 1,725 breaks down, I won’t catch a falling knife. If you lose money, don’t come looking for me.
I just翻《Periodicity》 and saw a line that Howard Marks said: the market is like a pendulum, always swinging between extremes. In crypto, the pendulum’s swing is even larger. What you can do isn’t predict which way it will swing, but stand on the opposite side when it swings too far.
This evening, I opened the trading screen: $ETH 1,739. Over the past 24 hours it’s down 2.24%, with trading volume of 468 million USDT. Here’s a live example. Look—does this price sit just slightly to the left or the right of the middle? Nobody knows. But when the trading volume expands, it shows the sentiment is swinging. I’m not going to analyze where it’ll go—I only think: if it swings even farther, will I dare to stand over there across from it?
The book says the hardest part of investing isn’t judging direction, but judging position. The pendulum is most dangerous when everyone thinks it can still keep swinging. It’s safest when nobody dares to stand across.
The most intense move today certainly isn’t a “big pancake.” This XRP candle is a very neat bearish one—falling cleanly from 1.13 to 1.07, down more than 4%, with trading volume near 100 million USDT.
The RSI has dropped to 13.1, extremely oversold. At this level, historically it rarely just does a direct V-turn; it usually needs to chop around for a while.
The MACD is still in the bearish zone. The DIF negative value is still expanding, MA5 is pressing down on MA20, and the price is obediently lying below both moving averages.
Overall signals are bearish. There’s no sign of “lifting its foot” (no clear hint of a reversal coming).
On the short term, the only thing that can hold up a bit is the 1.08 support—previous pullbacks have bounced here twice. But today’s volume hasn’t expanded, which suggests this isn’t panic-driven exit; it’s a steady, lingering sell-off that’s more grinding than a sudden crash.
If you really want a reference plan: consider a light long position on a retest around 1.07, with a stop-loss placed just below 1.06. First watch for 1.10, then 1.12. But don’t expect a reversal—this is only a bet on an oversold rebound.
If 1.06 breaks, don’t catch it. There isn’t dense support underneath; wait and look again at 1.02.
The above is just my personal trading plan—weigh it yourself; if you lose money, don’t come find me.
I recently took a close look at the Model Registry architecture of @NewtonProtocol, and my intuition tells me this might be an underestimated piece in the on-chain automation space. In traditional DeFi, automated operations are either handled by centralized bots or require writing complex contract logic—making it extremely unfriendly for ordinary users. Newton’s approach is to split the triggering conditions from the execution actions into standardized models. After developers register as templates, other users can simply select the template, fill in parameters, and deploy. It’s a bit like taking IFTTT onto the blockchain, but with dual compliance verification using TEE + ZKP.
The core value of the Model Registry is lowering the barrier to strategy creation. Previously, if you wanted to write an on-chain limit order or conditional transfer, you needed to understand Solidity and security auditing. Now you just need to find the right preset template for your scenario from the hundreds available in the community, configure the parameters, and it can run. Behind the automated Intent layer, there’s also the RedStone oracle providing real-time data, so trigger conditions can be specified precisely for a certain price range or on-chain event. As $NEWT is used as the strategy execution fee, this market will gradually accumulate network effects.
Conversely, this is also good news for developers. When you create a model, every time someone uses it, they will consume $NEWT and allocate part of the fees to you—turning the logic into a monetizable on-chain product. If Newton’s compliance layer can be applied to real financial use cases—such as automated on-chain dividend distribution or salary payments—the practicality of the Model Registry would far exceed what’s typical in today’s bot market. In the short term, the key is still the number of templates and user experience; once a positive feedback loop forms, the governance and value capture represented by #Newt will have stronger support.
Just finished reading “The Naval Playbook” and came across a line:
“Long-termism is the greatest lever.”
My head went off like an explosion.
I thought about my experience in 2022 carrying $ZEC . I carried it right to a point of being cut in half, carried it to the point of doubting myself. I thought I was persisting—when in fact I was just waiting to die.
Naval’s idea of long-termism isn’t dying-on-the-spot hardheaded persistence.
It’s a framework. It’s discipline. It’s the rules written in advance before every single trade. It’s not letting every single candlestick set your pace.
Today $ZEC 482.08, 24h +7.68%, volume $140 million USDT.
Looks lively.
In my framework, this position doesn’t belong to my rules. No chasing. No carrying. No anxiety.
What truly lets you get through bull and bear markets was never a belief like “I think it will go up.”
It’s rules. Trade according to the rules when the setup comes. Rest according to the rules when the market leaves.
After lunch I went back to glance at the plate. Today the funds are acting all sneaky—everything’s piled into ZEC. One line pulled it up 7.25%.
ZEC is now trading at 479.94. Over the past 24 hours, turnover is 139 million USDT, and it briefly touched a high of 512. RSI is 56.2—nothing overheated. But the MACD is still in a bearish arrangement; the DIF is only 5.98, and the dead cross hasn’t finished working itself out yet.
Why would the funds choose it? Old coin-circling playbook—oversold rebound plus a news vacuum. The late money finds a light enough target, pushes it up a bit, then runs.
MA5 is 481.49 and MA20 is 480.32. Price is just wobbling between those two moving averages—hasn’t managed to establish itself on either side.
Where’s the risk in chasing after lunch? Trading volume has shrunk to just 0.3× the average volume. This rally lacks volume confirmation—it's pretty hollow. Support is at 437.73 and 440.82. Resistance is 512.0 and 510.0. It’s hard on both the upside and downside.
My personal plan is to wait for it to pull back around 440, then try a small long position. Put the stop-loss below 437, first watch for 480; if it breaks through, then hold out and watch for 512. If it falls below 437, and it rebounds back toward 450, I’ll consider going short. Stop-loss above 460, and the first target is 440. If you lose money, don’t come looking for me—deal with it yourself.
I just looked into the @NewtonProtocol Model Registry—it’s really a practical on-chain automation strategy market. Developers publish trading or mining strategy templates on-chain, and regular users can simply pick a template and deploy it with one click, without having to write code. This sharing mechanism not only lowers the barrier to entry, but also enhances the ecosystem usability of $NEWT . In the future, more people will participate in publishing and discovering templates, and liquidity strategies will become increasingly rich. I’m optimistic about #Newt delivering on this direction.
Two hours after the market opened, ETH didn’t follow Bitcoin upward. Instead, it slid toward 1,752. Over the past 24 hours, it has fallen steadily from 1,813 to 1,749. The sell-off volume of 439 million USDT isn’t small.
MACD is still stuck in the dead-cross zone: DIF is negative at -4.3, and the bearish alignment hasn’t changed. RSI has dropped to 39.5, nearing the edge of the weak zone, but it’s not below 30 yet—so it’s not oversold. Price is hovering below the MA5 and MA20. MA5 has formed a dead cross with MA20, and it has been two days now—the moving averages are pressing down tightly. The Bollinger Bands are tilted slightly upward, with bandwidth of only 3%. Volatility is narrowing; this is not a breakout signal.
Support looks at 1,729, with S1 there. If that breaks, the support at 1,735 won’t hold either. Resistance is at 1,833; R1 is set far above. Unless price can gather volume and stand above 1,800, the bearish structure remains unchanged.
Trading volume is only 0.7 times the average. Downward movement on reduced volume means nobody’s stepping in to buy. If you really want to enter, wait for RSI to drop below 30 and then consider going long. If it pulls back to around 1,730, I’ll consider a small long position: stop loss at 1,720, and take profit at 1,770–1,780. If it falls below 1,720, and rebounds to around 1,755, I’ll switch to short—stop loss above 1,770, and first target around 1,730. If you lose money, don’t come find me—evaluate it yourself.
At 1,752, chasing a long is like catching a flying knife. Don’t chase—wait for confirmation.
Just woke up. Opened my eyes and checked $ETH —down 1.26% in 24h, volume 1.781, turnover 430 million USDT.
Suddenly I remembered Soros’s old saying—“The market is always wrong.”
The original line is: “There is a two-way feedback between participants’ perceptions and actual processes.” He called it “reflexivity.” In simple terms, you stare at the chart and feel it’s right—then you move your mouse and buy, the price changes, and your judgment changes with it.
On the chart today, $ETH , it’s down and the volume has shrunk. Some people say, “This drop is different,” because there’s no panic and no surge in volume.
I laughed. Every time a drop is halfway there, someone thinks it’s different. Soros said it clearly: you are both an observer and a participant. When you buy, liquidity changes, the candlesticks change, and the so-called “support level” becomes fragile.
At 1,781, it looks like it’s building a base. But every “feeling” you have is already helping shape it.
ETH has been hovering around 1779 this morning, slipping 1.55% over the past 24 hours, with the low touching 1758. Trading volume has shrunk significantly—only 427 million, about 60% less than the 20-day average. MA5 is at 1777, MA20 at 1782, and the price is oscillating between the two lines. RSI(14) is at 51.2—neither cold nor hot. MACD is still in bearish territory: DIF is -0.56 and the dead-cross structure hasn’t changed. The Bollinger Bands have tightened to 2.4%, reducing the amplitude—breakout/turning speed is increasing.
Key support to watch is 1729, which is the prior dense trading zone; if that breaks, there’s still 1735 below. Resistance first to focus on is 1817—yesterday’s high was there. If it can’t break through, weakness will likely continue. RSI hasn’t reached oversold or overbought, but the MACD histogram is shortening—bearish momentum is weakening. With declining volume, this looks more like it’s waiting for news rather than a decisive selloff.
In the early session, it’s likely to continue low-volume consolidation between 1758 and 1782. For an upside move, you’ll need volume to stand above 1782 (MA20); otherwise it’s just a false breakout. Downside risk: if it breaks below 1758 (the 24-hour low), it could accelerate toward 1729.
Contract reference levels (personal plan, not a trading call): If it pulls back to around 1729, I would consider testing a long position with a small size. Stop loss would be placed below 1720. Take profit would be first at 1782; if it passes that, then look toward 1817. Right now it’s in the middle—neither up nor down. I won’t move. I’ll wait for the signal—either a volume-backed breakout of 1782 or a low-volume dip that holds firmly at 1729. Don’t chase. Wait for confirmation.
Take a quick look before the market opens. BTC is currently stuck at 63,542; over the past 24h it's down -1.09%, and the overall tone is weak. ETH is around 1,775; over the past 24h it's down -1.71% as well, also weak.
The range BTC moved within overnight was 62,671 to 64,314, and this level is quite crucial. If the market opens and we see volume pushing through and holding around 64,314, short-term sentiment will improve a lot. Conversely, if the market opens and gets smashed below 62,671, then today will most likely be a ranging/sideways day.
For ETH, it's more about BTC’s mood. If BTC doesn’t give a direction, it’s hard for ETH to move independently. Trading volume is 435 million USDT—not very active—which suggests everyone is waiting for a signal from the open.
Today, I won’t take action right at the open. I’ll watch for the first half hour to confirm the direction first. When the market opens, should you keep an eye on BTC first, or on the altcoins first?
