BTC has been range-bound between 87,100 and 95,000 for a full eight days, and the market sentiment is almost bursting.



What will the next 20 days bring? Clear skies or the eve of a storm? The signals hidden within the market itself are far more important than what news you’re watching for tonight.

Yesterday at around 3170, ETH was shouted down by many as a short, but what happened? It exploded and got trapped all over the place. In contrast, SOL at around 140 remains as steady as an old dog, while ETH at 3350 hints at some unintended signals.

PIPPIN last left at 0.35, and after a few days, it shot back up! BEAT and POWER follow the same pattern. The more contrarian and anti-human behavior you employ, the easier it is to scoop up profits.

LUNC and LUNA are born of the same root, but their fates couldn’t be more different. Some have tripled right away. How many times can life offer a chance to fight? Saying this too often... After 0.0000385, a third Doji star appeared, and those who understand know—this isn’t retail trader tactics, it’s a typical institutional manipulation style. Although it's a local project, the team is from a professional background.

HYPER( isn’t HYPE—this one started rallying from 1 with a 50-point increase. Avoid short-term contracts on cross-chain protocols like this.

MAGIC showed a volume low point at 0.095, and now it’s up nearly 50% around 0.145. To be honest, that volatility in November last year caused many projects’ prices to deviate seriously. The hype about “the 2025 copycat season” never arrived; instead, prices kept falling. Over 90% of people lost heavily, with some even liquidated or margin-called.

FET, as a hot player in the AI sector, requires extra caution when the heat is high. History doesn’t repeat simply. FET’s background is entirely different from MAGIC and LUNC, so timing needs to be observed slowly and listened to swiftly. Once the hype cools, it’s not too late to deepen your research.

On the ETH chain, despite big institutions pouring tons of money in, Ethereum’s market cap hasn’t gained much. Smart ETH Foundation occasionally sells at highs—I find their moves somewhat shameful, but it doesn’t stop their keen instincts.

ETHFI and ENS are both innovative projects on the chain. Be cautious with ENS domains—initially, everyone praised them too highly, coinciding with Ethereum’s brightest period—the peak of metaverse and bored apes hype. After dropping from $60 by six times, it doesn’t look the worst. ETHFI isn’t quite suitable for aggressive players. The noble chain now also wants to go low-cost, but that route simply doesn’t work. Looking forward to new activity on the chain...

WIF’s recent move of around 30 points is solidly earned, with depth and not too passive. More aggressive moves, like last year's bankruptcy trio, or projects like USUAL, are unlikely to see that kind of market again this year...

Eight days of sideways trading is really suffocating, just waiting for a direction. All the short positions have been wiped out, this is the result of gambling on a trend. Counter-trend trading indeed makes money, the key is to get the timing right. LUNC is being manipulated by institutions; retail investors following the trend will be doomed. The higher the FET popularity, the more dangerous it is. I don't dare to touch it now. The Ethereum Foundation sold at high points; how many points did they make? Who would have thought ENS would be worth $60 back then? Now I don't dare to look at it anymore. WIF is solid this time, unlike some coins that surge every day. The really profitable ones are the ones doing the opposite, but unfortunately, I always follow the trend. Eight days of sideways trading, the next twenty days will be the real casino.
