🌫️ 1. BTC is moving sideways – Altcoin is “standing still”
Bitcoin is neither strongly increasing nor decreasing, but is moving sideways for a long time, with low volume → the altcoin market lacks momentum.
If BTC stands still → investors lack inspiration → capital does not flow into altcoins.
Small projects → are neglected, prices drop 20–40% without recovery.
👉 This is a dull sideways situation.
💸 2. Shark capital is on the sidelines
Large wallets are not accumulating more
No strong capital flow from USDT → BTC
Sharks are not trading → the market is stagnant
Sharks are waiting to liquidate users or waiting for a deep drop to gather at better prices.
📉 3. Liquidity is extremely low
Low liquidity = few buyers and sellers = easy to dump.
Just one large sell transaction → price drops sharply
There is no one to support the price → the market is weak like a banana leaf.
This is a sign of the “despair” phase in the crypto cycle.
📰 4. Macroeconomic news & bad policies
When:
FED tightens money
Countries tighten crypto
Investor sentiment is fearful
→ Crypto is a “high-risk” market, hence it is the first to experience capital withdrawal.
😩 5. Investor sentiment is exhausted (Capitulation)
Buying at the peak
Holding too long
Prices continuously decrease
Many people are burned in futures
No more money to invest
→ General sentiment: tired, bored, giving up.
When people are most bored → is when the market is closest to forming a bottom.
🔥 6. Many small projects are “manipulating prices”, many scams
Junk tokens are proliferating → draining new investors → increasing fear.
Investors lose trust → do not dare to invest money.
🧊 7. Institutional ETF capital is no longer as strong as before
In the previous cycle, ETF capital flowed continuously.
Now:
ETF capital is coming in less
Many days still withdrawing capital
No new money → the market is gloomy. $BNB
