Yesterday, there was a significant surge in Monero (XMR). This coin is certainly familiar to veteran players, as it is inherently very hacker-oriented, and a major centralized exchange (CEX) directly collaborated to ban it... This shows how much this community is resented by exchanges... It is known that most CEXs have been drained by professional hackers several times... Plus, Monero is also a union of hackers who specialize in researching cryptocurrencies... It is bound to have countless conflicts resulting in a bloodbath...
This coin surged from 220 to 320 in just one day yesterday, with an amount of 3520 BTC (330.7 million USD) stolen from the address bc1qcrypchnrdx87jnal5e5m849fw460t4gk7vz55g. These funds quickly exchanged for XMR through the protocol, causing the exchange rate to explode; as of now, it has slowly dropped back to 250.

In one sentence: Temporary fluctuations, waiting for interest rate cuts, peak by the end of the year.
This wave will not directly reverse the trend at present, mainly because the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts have not yet materialized. The sign of reversal is breaking 100,000, and the driving force for reversal is interest rate cuts.
In the past few days, I tend to believe: there will be no new lows, will not break 100, need time, just fluctuations, oscillating between 90-95.
Retail investors often focus on the returns of risky assets themselves, while ignoring the significant volatility inherent in them. For example, who is more comfortable: someone who owns a house worth 10 million or someone who has 10 million in cash? Five years ago, many would have thought the former was fine, but now everyone has been thoroughly educated by the market, realizing that real estate not only has huge volatility and potential drawdowns but may also lack liquidity, making it hard to cash out. Not to mention that it fails to generate returns compared to cash (the mortgage interest rate can be viewed as a relatively low-risk return for small capital, approximately 3.8%, how much rent can outperform that? The risk-free return for large capital can only be referenced by large time deposits and other fixed terms).
The Ethereum decentralized lending protocol Term Finance suffered a loss of 1.6 million USD due to a configuration error with its oracle. Attackers exploited erroneous price data to carry out unauthorized liquidations, exposing vulnerabilities in DeFi protocols regarding oracle security. Term Finance responded quickly, internally recovering about 400,000 USD and negotiating to recover 600,000 USD, but approximately 650,000 USD in losses remain unrecoverable. The company emphasized that this was not due to a hack or contract vulnerability, but rather a technical configuration error, and is currently optimizing its oracle integration process.
A potential victim, amounting to 3520 BTC (330.7 million USD) theft address bc1qcrypchnrdx87jnal5e5m849fw460t4gk7vz55g. These funds began to be laundered through more than 6 instant exchanges and converted to XMR, causing the XMR price to surge by 50%.
This seems to be the VIXY CALL of the Monero cryptocurrency circle...
BNB has recently been fluctuating very little, and those who regret not getting in can consider directly forming an LP, which can earn an annualized return of 40. Although it can be easily breached, buy low to receive goods, and sell high to earn a small profit.

In the short term, the stock market is mostly in a random state. If you want to predict short-term movements constantly and then trade accordingly, it is a very dangerous gamble; long-term betting will inevitably lead to losses.
However, the short term is not 100% random. In a few extreme cases, it is possible to predict with a high probability.
Therefore, in investing, it is better to do less or nothing in the short term. Occasionally, if an opportunity arises, you can take a chance, but the main focus should still be on heavily betting on long-term certainty. One should not lose sight of the main goal.
