Analysis of G's NXPC crash: whale unloading + market recession, leek life-saving guide.
Since its launch on May 15, NXPC reached a high of $3.8674 but has been continuously declining, dropping to a low of $1.9361 on May 19, currently oscillating around $1.96, which is halved from the peak. Below is a detailed breakdown:
Whale chain unloading
On the evening of May 18, a certain address transferred 1.13 million NXPC (worth about $3.02 million) to Binance, clearing cash at an average price of $2.66. This whale bought in at $1.25 on May 15, with a maximum unrealized profit of $2.9 million without taking profits, ultimately taking away $1.6 million in profit.
Another whale completed its harvesting earlier: On May 15, bought 3.47 million NXPC for $900,000, and sold for $4.69 million the same day, netting $3.79 million. Such operations directly trigger panic selling in the secondary market.
Project popularity has plummeted sharply
In the early days of launch, it attracted 972,000 wallet registrations through the Adventure Island IP and airdrops, but on-chain data shows signs of fatigue:
On-chain daily transaction volume has dropped from a peak of 31.5 million to 12 million (halved)
Player retention rate has decreased from 54% to 32%
Token unlocking pressure intensifies panic: Initial circulation is only 16.9%, over 80% of tokens will be unlocked in the next nine months, raising concerns about project parties and early investors selling.
Market sentiment contagion
On May 19, the Asia-Pacific stock market fell broadly, with the Hong Kong technology index down 1.2%, Alibaba down 4%, triggering risk-averse sentiment in the crypto market. Although BTC stabilized at $106,000, funds accelerated the withdrawal from altcoins, leading to a decline in NXPC.
The volatility indicators OVX and VIX have widened to historical highs, showing that panic sentiment is spreading across assets.
Key observation points for subsequent trends
Life-and-death line support: $1.80-$1.90 serves as a psychological support level (corresponding to the lowest price on the first day of launch at $1.9361). If it breaks, it may trigger an algorithmic liquidation wave.
Reversal signal:
Chain game public test data (end of May): If MAU breaks 500,000 and NFT trading volume rebounds, it may boost confidence.
Whale movements: Monitoring changes in Binance large holder positions, a continuous three-day increase in holdings is a safe signal.
Market linkage: If BTC breaks $110,000, it may drive altcoins to rebound, but beware of a sudden rise in the VIX index.
Leeks' life-saving strategy
Don't catch the falling knife in the short term: The current price of $1.96 is still above the lowest point on the first day. Maintain a wait-and-see attitude until a bottom is confirmed.
Stop-loss discipline: Holders must stop-loss if the price falls below $1.90 to prevent becoming a target for unlocked selling pressure.
Hedge plan: Buy $2 put options with a 5% position (expiring in June), with a cost of about $0.15, to hedge against losses in case of a crash.
Blood and tears lessons
The survival rules for IP sentimental coins are twofold:
The first three days after launch are the golden peak escape period, referencing NXPC's drop from $3.8 to $2.5 in just 48 hours.
Whale unloading > project party's hype, large on-chain transfers to exchanges are a death signal.
