【The big players have already made their move, but retail investors are still watching from the sidelines】

NEAR has been surging lately, and you’re all watching the price.

I’m more interested in another metric: trading volume.

A sharp rise on heavy volume needs to be looked at from two angles.

The first possibility is short-term money coming in to ride the hype, chasing gains and selling off—those traders come and go quickly.
The second is large-scale capital quietly building positions, and that kind of activity doesn’t last just a day or two.

Based on what I’ve observed, this time looks more like the latter.

Why do I think that? The price is up 19%, but the sentiment index has only climbed from 65 to 69. That suggests retail investors are still hesitant and sitting on the sidelines. When the price can rise in that environment, the force behind it is not something retail investors can generate.

So here’s the question: why did the big players choose NEAR?

Here’s my take: NEAR’s tech narrative has changed. It started out as an “Ethereum challenger,” but now it’s being positioned as “AI + Web3 infrastructure.” Institutions are buying into this shift. AI is currently the most certain growth trend, and NEAR’s position in this space makes sense.

But the key question is—

What does this mean in practice?

I think we’ll see a few changes going forward:
First, AI-related projects in the ecosystem will find it easier to secure funding and attract resources;
Second, developers will gravitate toward this area because it offers users, a compelling story, and opportunities;
Third, if this narrative holds for one or two cycles, NEAR’s valuation framework could be fundamentally reshaped.

Does the business case hold up? For now, I’m inclined to think it does. AI needs low-cost, on-chain computing power and data, and NEAR is well-positioned for that. But I’m leaving room for uncertainty—I’ll be watching developer metrics and real-world applications over the next few months.

What’s your take on this rally?

Most people see a story. It’s worth thinking one step further.
$S has made the trending searches across the internet.

Binance Spot: $S 24h +40.84%, current price 0.0650, trading volume 33.9M.

I also dug up some related news: The U.S. SEC accused former Linqto executives of defrauding investors. Securities sales on the platform involved exceeded $430 million.

A surge in search volume generally precedes price action, but it could also be a relay race.

【This XRP vulnerability fix sent chills down my spine】

I just saw the news— the XRP Ledger fixed an old vulnerability that could have created billions of dollars’ worth of XRP out of thin air.

I have to ask: If this vulnerability had gone undiscovered, would XRP still be sitting at $1.41?

On-chain data is sending a signal: trading volume keeps shrinking, and the market is waiting. How long has XRP been stuck between $1.36 and $1.45? I don’t buy the saying that the longer the consolidation, the bigger the breakout—but staying sideways for too long without picking a direction means everyone’s holding their breath.

My take: sit tight and wait.

That’s not to say XRP can’t go up. But from here, a move higher needs serious money behind it, while a break below $1.36 would be a genuine breakdown. The risk-reward just doesn’t make sense at this point.

You’re wondering how I feel about it right now? I have a little XRP in my portfolio, but not much. Honestly, I haven’t dared to take a big position this time—not because I’m bearish, but because this vulnerability makes me think there may still be things we haven’t uncovered.

Would you dare to enter at this level? As for me, I’m choosing to wait a little longer.

【What would you do if SUI fell to 0.8?】

As I review SUI’s performance this week, I want to start by asking myself this question—not to scare myself, but because I genuinely thought about it this week.

First, the facts: SUI is down 7% over the past 7 days, with a modest 1.3% recovery in the last 24 hours. The price is currently stuck between 1.06 and 1.16, unable to break higher or move lower. The sentiment index is at 69, indicating greed in the market, but not outright euphoria. After watching the charts, my impression is that both bulls and bears are waiting, and neither side dares to make the first move.

The most notable thing I found this week was the unusually sharp rise in trading volume—not in absolute terms, but in the ratio of trading volume to market cap. I’ve seen this signal many times: either big money is coming in, or someone is selling off and getting out. Given where the price is now, honestly, both are possible.

From a business perspective, not much has been put into practice in the SUI ecosystem yet, and most projects are still in their early stages. Being down 79% from its all-time high shows the market has already punished it once. But the thing is, having been punished and being worth the price are two different questions.

My prediction: I previously thought SUI would see a rebound, but this week suggests I was too optimistic. The actual price action has been choppy with a downward bias, which shows that market confidence in it hasn’t recovered yet.

What should we watch next week? Keep an eye on whether the 1.06 support level holds. If it breaks, many technical traders’ stop-losses may be triggered; if it holds, there could be another attempt to move higher.

Have my views changed this week? Yes. I expected the rebound to happen sooner than it has. Now I’m inclined to wait rather than rush to call a direction, and see what the trading volume tells us first.

At the end of the day, the market is always right. All we can do is avoid letting our own expectations lead us astray.

What do you think about SUI at this level—is this a bear trap or genuine weakness? I’d really like to hear your thoughts. #SUI #加密分析 #TAUFA #MarketInsights

【AVAX is down 92%, yet the market is greedy? Take a moment to think about that】

I’ve been around this market for over a decade, and one thing never changes—

The deeper prices fall, the more restless people tend to become.

AVAX is now at $ 10.97, nearly 92% below its peak. You’d think this would be the sort of level that either value investors would love, or where people would wait for the trend to confirm before making a move. But guess what? The FNG Index is at 69, with a weekly average of 65. Market sentiment is already in greedy territory.

That’s what makes this interesting.

Prices have fallen into a deep hole, while sentiment is climbing. This has happened more than once in the past. And each time, the outcome has been pretty similar—either sentiment gets humbled first and prices take another leg down, or fundamentals suddenly kick in and leave sentiment behind. Either way, the people with the biggest positions and the most leverage are always the first to get thrown off the ride.

I’m not bearish on AVAX. I just think this is a level where it’s worth getting one thing straight—

What’s the logic behind your bet?

Do you think it should bounce simply because it’s fallen so much? Or do you genuinely believe its ecosystem has potential? If it’s the former, overheated sentiment is a risk signal. If it’s the latter, the current price could be a chance to slowly build a starter position and keep it under observation.

But the question is, have you left yourself an exit route?

Can you hold on if it rises? Can you withstand it if it falls?

Whether this rebound takes shape doesn’t depend on how excited sentiment gets. It depends on whether real money flows in. Rising trading volume is a signal, but you need to figure out whether that volume means people are buying the dip or heading for the exits.

So here’s the question—

What kind of position are you holding right now? Are you all-in and being swept along by sentiment, or have you kept some powder dry while waiting for more certainty?

【The mistake retail investors make most: seeing a big drop and assuming it’s time to buy the dip】

LINK has fallen nearly 6% from its highs this week, and a lot of people are starting to get tempted—“It’s dropped this much already. What are we waiting for if not a chance to buy the dip?”

Honestly, I used to think that way when I was younger, too. And the result? There’s always a basement beneath the floor.

Look at the data: LINK is up 2.5% over the past 24 hours, but it’s still down overall over the past seven days. More importantly, trading volume is low, which suggests the market is wary and no one is rushing in with real money. So when you say you want to buy the dip, what exactly are you buying?

LINK has been fluctuating in the $12.57–$13.73 range for several days. A move in one direction is approaching, but it hasn’t happened yet. The Fear and Greed Index is at 61, a little below last week’s average of 66. The market isn’t stupid—if a rally were really about to start, it wouldn’t be dragging its feet like this.

Last week, I said LINK was waiting for BTC to set the direction. I still think that’s the case. BTC’s market dominance is 59.6%; if it doesn’t move, it’ll be hard for LINK to make a move of its own.

Next week, I’ll be watching three things: whether the $12.57 support holds, when trading volume picks up, and whether LINK can break above $13.73 decisively. Until volume increases, I’ll sit back and watch.

My view hasn’t changed this week. I’m not buying halfway up the mountain, and I’m not counting on a sudden takeoff. In a bull market, staying in the game longer matters far more than making money fast.

Can this thing really deliver? Honestly, I only care about whether I can get in at the right time. This isn’t it.

Do you think LINK is worth waiting for this time?

【A coin drops 99%, then suddenly starts surging on heavy volume—would you panic?】

Honestly, I’ve been keeping an eye on this FIL rally for days. It’s up 8% in 24 hours, 15% in a week, and nearly 56% in a month—and seeing those numbers, people in the group chat are getting restless again.

But have you noticed how this time feels different from before? Back in 2017, a rally was just a pure pump. Fundamentals, real-world use cases—it was all nonsense. This time around? Trading volume is up, and it’s up in a healthy way—not one of those “pumping on fumes” self-congratulatory rallies.

Here’s the question: can Filecoin’s storage sector really justify this surge?

Let me tell you about something I’ve seen firsthand. A friend of mine started working as a data storage provider there last year. He says real orders are picking up now. It’s not the kind of “thriving ecosystem” they hype up in a PowerPoint—it’s real money, with people actually using the FIL network to store data. And not just retail investors caught up in FOMO; we’re talking enterprise users.

So what does that mean in practice?

It means this rally might not be driven purely by sentiment; there could be real demand supporting the price. But it also means that if you jump in now, your counterparty could be someone who’s “waiting to sell into real demand.”

How am I feeling right now? Honestly, I’m itching to jump in. But the lessons I learned in 2017 tell me not to rush in just because volume is up. Wait a bit. Wait until it’s clearer who’s buying and who’s selling.

What about you? Are you brave enough to follow this FIL rally, or are you going to keep watching from the sidelines?

【Watching NEAR climb 9.7%, only one word comes to mind】

Itching to buy.

Seriously, just one thought.

Up 9.7% in 24 hours, 17.2% in 7 days, and a whopping 141% on the monthly chart. With numbers like these staring me in the face, how could an old crypto trader like me not be tempted? I just can't help it. That "my fingers are itching because it's going up" feeling isn't analysis—it's a reflex.

But what really made me stop and take a closer look wasn't how much it had risen. It was the trading volume.

Trading volume has surged abnormally—to more than 5% of its market cap. That's a lot more honest than a candlestick chart. Someone's making big moves in and out; this isn't the kind of activity retail traders can generate. Whales, institutions, or the project team itself? I can't say. But this kind of volume isn't just people "messing around."

Some people will say, “If it's going up, that's a good thing!”

The question is—who's buying, and who's selling?

Here's just one thing I've noticed: NEAR has fallen 72% from its peak. At the current price, for those who bought in during the 2021 run-up, this is break-even territory. Now that it's reached this level, what are the people who were stuck holding it thinking? Most likely, “Finally, I'm back to even. Get me out of here.” Meanwhile, those buying in now think, “This rally isn't over yet.”

What do you think happens when those two groups collide?

Support is at 5.07, resistance at 5.98. Right now, it's suspended in the middle. On the way up, there's momentum from improving sentiment; on the way down, there's selling pressure from people looking to break even.

I'm not telling you whether to buy or sell. I'm just saying that at a point like this, it's easy to get either of these scenarios: “You thought it was breaking out, but then it crashes,” or “You thought it was going to drop, but then it takes off.” Which is more likely? I don't know. But I've seen plenty of people get slapped both ways in this kind of uncertain territory.

What about you? Are you brave enough to chase this rally? Or are you like me—saying you won't jump in, while your fingers are already starting to itch?

【BNB down 45% and bottoming out? This retail-investor mindset is deadly】

A lot of people see BNB down almost half from its high and their eyes light up. They think: "It's already been cut in half—how much lower can it go? Time to buy the dip!"

That's exactly what I thought in 2017.

Let's start with the numbers: BNB is hovering around 721, down 45.1% from its all-time high. It's moving sideways, up just 0.2% in 24 hours and down 4.7% over the past week. The FNG is at 61, still in greed territory. It certainly sounds like the price has taken enough of a beating.

But have you noticed one thing? Trading volume is dead low, and the market is very much in wait-and-see mode. At a time like this, where does the logic behind saying "it can't fall any further" come from?

The real question is: what reason does BNB have to stabilize at this level?

A large part of BNB's valuation is tied to the Binance ecosystem. It's not simply an "exchange token." Its burn mechanism, IEO launchpad access, gas fee discounts... These are the things that support its price. The market is cautious right now not because everyone thinks BNB is cheap, but because no one can see what Binance will do next.

You say a 45% pullback puts it in value territory? Fine, I admit long-term investors may be starting to take notice. But being in value territory and "being able to rise" are two different things. Plenty of coins fell 90% in 2017—weren't they all "down enough"? And yet they just kept sliding.

BTC dominance has already reached 59.6%, and capital is clearly flowing into BTC. For BNB to rise in this kind of market, it needs more than just "having fallen enough"—it needs a new catalyst.

This is where I'm stuck right now: I can't see what the next driver for BNB might be. Support around 729 is just so-so, and 772 will be hard to break through as resistance. No volume, no story, no sentiment.

What are you watching right now? Is there any signal I'm missing?

【Still saying DOGE is a joke? Some people are already betting on it seriously】

Last week, an old friend asked me whether DOGE was still worth getting into.

I didn’t answer directly. I asked him: When Tesla started accepting DOGE payments, do you think Musk was joking, or playing the long game?

He didn’t have an answer.

Honestly, this recent consolidation in DOGE looks pretty boring on paper—up less than 1% over 24 hours, down nearly 9% over seven days, with painfully low trading volume. The market is sitting on the sidelines.

But I think this is exactly when things get interesting.

As I keep saying: technology changes, judgment doesn’t. DOGE’s current situation is essentially a narrative vacuum. The logic behind meme coins is simple: if people believe in it, there’s a community, and it gets attention, it has value. When people lose interest, all that’s left is the name of a coin.

So here’s the question: who can keep DOGE’s story going?

Musk is one variable, but not the only one. What’s really worth watching is whether DOGE could actually be put to use—not just traded, but used. Payments, tips, donations—these use cases may sound old-fashioned, but if they take hold in an ecosystem, DOGE would be more than just a meme.

From a valuation perspective, DOGE is down nearly 90% from its peak, and the bubble has long since been squeezed out. What remains is the bet people are making: a bet on this narrative.

So, back to the question at the start: is DOGE still worth getting into?

I can’t tell you whether to buy or sell. But one thing’s certain: when valuations are this low, it can be a time to test your own judgment. Are you betting that DOGE can find a new narrative, or do you think meme coins are just a passing fad?

Only you can answer that.

【SOL is starting to get interesting】

I watched SOL all day today—not because I was planning to trade, just because I was keeping an eye on it.

$ 111 is down 8% over the past 7 days, trading volume is pitifully low, and the Fear & Greed Index is at 61. People actually aren't that fearful. I've seen this kind of situation so many times—not despair, not FOMO, just waiting. Waiting for what? A signal. Waiting for BTC to show a direction, or for some news to light a fire.

Honestly, the hardest part about times like this isn't missing out. It's knowing that an opportunity might be brewing, but having no idea when it'll arrive. The scars from 2021 taught me that the last thing you want to do in a situation like this is bet big too early. But the scars from 2017 also taught me that you can't just ignore the market entirely—what if it really takes off?

**What does this mean in practical terms?**

There haven't been any major negative developments in SOL's ecosystem. This drop is mostly due to a passive contraction in liquidity and a drag from market sentiment. If you're a big-money player, this is actually a good time to quietly build a position—because everyone's nervous, so it's easier to scoop up tokens. If you're a retail investor, don't rush to buy the dip; wait for it to show a clear direction. When trading volume is low, all it takes is one bullish candle to ignite market sentiment—but one bearish candle can just as easily send it back to square one.

My own take: $ 111 isn't expensive, but it's not worth rushing in impulsively either. The valuation has come down, but cheap doesn't mean it'll go up right away. Whether it can rally ultimately depends on whether fresh capital comes in and whether the ecosystem produces something exciting.

At the end of the day, I'm just watching the show for now. I really am tempted to trade, but this time I've decided to sit back and watch.

What about you? Are you willing to take a chance on this move?
