SEI drops 8%! The cooling period after a surge, is it an opportunity or a trap? Jin Zhu takes you to analyze!
Hello everyone, I am Jin Zhu! The trending topic in the crypto world these days is SEI—this dark horse that has been rising for 7 days has finally hit the brakes! A single-day drop of 7.9%, with the market cap shrinking to 2.76 billion USD. The market exploded in an instant; some are slapping their thighs, while others are clutching their pockets… Every pullback is the market breathing; hidden in the ups and downs is not a crisis, but the preparation for the next leap. Today, Jin Zhu will talk about the intricacies of this market trend.

Live update: What happened?
Just looking at this set of data is enough excitement: 7 days of soaring, with an astonishing cumulative increase, only for it to suddenly plummet yesterday! The maximum drop within 24 hours was nearly 8%, and the dramatic shift caught everyone off guard. This kind of pullback after a sharp rise feels like stopping suddenly after running a marathon—it's strange not to catch your breath—profit-taking is the most direct driving force. Once the price drops, the sentiment of chasing highs and cutting losses spreads immediately, leading short-term speculators to retreat.
Old hands in the crypto world know that such sharp rises and falls are not uncommon; a strong rise naturally requires a pullback due to profit-taking. Newcomers are still panicking, but looking at the contract data, although many bulls have been buried, the total position remains relatively stable, indicating that the veterans have not run away and are still waiting for the next move.
Current strategy: Don't panic, keep a clear mind!
1. Short-term traders: Taking profits is the way to go
If you've already made enough profit this time, quickly withdraw your principal and let the profits continue to fly! For those still on board, be sure to set a stop-loss point; a tolerance of 5%-8% is more rational, and avoid holding on stubbornly.
2. Value investors: Wait for it to stabilize before acting!
In a hurry to buy the dip? Don't rush! Check if the trading volume is shrinking and if the drop is slowing down. You can take a small position to test the waters, for instance, adding a position every 5% drop, which lowers both cost and risk.
SEI key support/resistance reference:
Strong support level: 0.14−0.15 area
Resistance levels: 0.18, 0.20

Future outlook: Can it still be bullish after the pullback?
But looking at the longer cycle, this sharp drop may just be a small episode in the larger trend:
Does the fundamentals have solid backing? We need to closely examine SEI's core developments, as this is the true core supporting the price.
Strong sector effects! The heat in the L1 track has not decreased; if 'neighboring coins' like APT and SUI can regain momentum, SEI is also expected to benefit.
Market cap advantage is showing! A 2.7 billion market cap is neither big nor small; liquidity is decent without the 'elephant' burden of mainstream coins, making it suitable for speculative trading.
Jin Zhu's personal judgment: This is a technical adjustment; if it stabilizes above $0.14 after panic selling, it is expected to gain stability and build energy. In the medium term, if ecological construction can keep up with the heat, it still has the potential to reach a higher market cap!
Golden Summary
In the crypto world, a day is like three years in reality. Don't let short-term fluctuations scare you; this pullback in SEI feels more like it's shouting: 'Opportunity is knocking!' But remember, identifying the right direction is more important than blindly rushing ahead.
