The major easing of US-China tariffs has directly boosted market sentiment.

Early this morning, the US and China mutually canceled 91% of the additional tariffs, and the remaining part was also paused by 24%. This is big news. Previously, the market was suffocating under tariffs, but now with the sudden easing, funds immediately rush into risk assets. Especially for targets related to China, such as Chinese concept stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and even Chinese concept projects in cryptocurrencies (like CATI) are benefiting. Look, the Chinese concept stocks in the US market collectively surged before the market opened, and the cross-border logistics company Jiayuda once rose over 200%. As CATI is a project highly related to the Chinese market in the TON ecosystem, it is naturally attracting funds.

The 'story' of the Catizen project itself is solid

CATI is the token of the mini-game Catizen on Telegram, which just got listed on the Binance exchange, so the hype is already high. Moreover, the project party recently announced a token empowerment plan—such as players staking CATI to receive airdrops, sharing game profits with token holders, and even using revenue to repurchase tokens. This 'earn while you play' model, combined with the buyback and burn mechanism, directly hits the excitement point of investors. Today, as market sentiment improved, funds rushed in to 'copy the homework'.

The overall cryptocurrency market is warming up.

Today not only did CATI rise, but Bitcoin and Ethereum also rebounded. The expectation of a Fed rate cut is rising, combined with the easing of US-China relations, funds are shifting from safe-haven assets (like gold) to riskier cryptocurrencies. CATI, as a popular project in the TON ecosystem, has a small market cap and high liquidity, making it easy for short-term funds to push it up.

What is Big G's view on the market outlook? Beware of 'rollercoaster' risks.

It may continue to rise in the short term, but don't chase the highs.

According to Big G's understanding of the first two projects in the TON ecosystem, Notcoin and DOGS, both initially plummeted after launch before violently surging, and then slowly declined. Today's surge in CATI is partly driven by sentiment and partly due to the favorable release from the project party. If market sentiment continues to warm up, it may surge again, but definitely don't blindly chase the highs—after all, the price has already dropped significantly from last night's high (1.12 USD).

The key is whether the project party can 'deliver on its promises'.

The future value of CATI depends on whether the Catizen gaming ecosystem can truly take off. For example, if their 'game profit sharing' and 'staking airdrop' are actually implemented, and the user base and trading volume continue to grow, the token will have long-term support. But if it's just a pipe dream, once the hype passes, it could very well drop back to square one like Notcoin.

External risks: fluctuating tariffs + market volatility

Although tariffs were canceled today, Trump is unpredictable, and the remaining 10% tariffs have not been canceled. If he makes any more moves later, market sentiment could reverse in an instant. Additionally, the US stock market and cryptocurrencies are highly correlated; if the Nasdaq corrects (for example, if tech stocks rise too much and profit-taking occurs), CATI could also be dragged down.

Big G's summary: it's okay to make quick money, but be cautious in the long term.

My suggestion is: short-term players can take advantage of the hype to make swings, but definitely set a stop-loss; long-term investors should wait for a pullback and observe the actual progress of the project before deciding. After all, CATI now resembles an 'emotional stock', rising quickly and falling just as fast. If you really want to invest, you need to watch for two signals: first, the growth of Catizen users and ecological data; second, the follow-up developments of the US-China tariff negotiations. Based on market direction, it could surge to around 0.3 as a resistance level.
