When MSTR Falls Harder Than BTC: The 'Domino Effect' of Liquidity Withdrawal

A warning signal is emerging: As the 'barometer' of cryptocurrency, strategy stocks—MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Coinbase (COIN)—have seen a daily decline of over 17%, far exceeding BTC's own drop of 12%. This is not just a numerical difference, but a true reflection of market sentiment and liquidity structure.

What does this indicate?

1. A comprehensive contraction of risk appetite: Funds are not only fleeing cryptocurrencies but are also withdrawing from all traditional risk assets related to crypto. This suggests that the core driving force behind this round of selling is the tightening of macro liquidity, rather than issues within the industry itself.
2. Layered transmission of leverage: Cryptocurrency concept stocks in the stock market often carry higher market leverage and beta coefficients. When liquidity recedes, they are the first to be sold off, and the declines are magnified.
3. The synchronized freezing point of sentiment: The Fear and Greed Index has dropped to 'extreme fear,' creating a resonance in both the stock and cryptocurrency markets that mutually reinforces the downward trend.

My observation: When BTC is no longer the asset with the largest decline, it often signifies that the market is undergoing a systematic de-risking process from the outside in, and from top to bottom. In such cases, simple technical analysis may fail, and it becomes more important to pay attention to signals of a shift in macro liquidity.

In such systemic fluctuations, I place greater value on those projects that can transform the volatility of the crypto world into stable value in the real world. Just like the @Max Charity community, regardless of how market strategy stocks fluctuate, its offline actions promoting global educational inclusivity continue to advance steadily—this ability to channel volatile energy into constant social output builds a unique value moat.

$6 billion floating loss under "stubbornness": How will the market move when the whales choose to "hold on"?

A piece of data is staggering: the large institution BitMine, holding 4.24 million ETH, is currently facing an unrealized loss of $6-8 billion. However, their reaction is not a panic sell-off, but rather a firm assertion that this is a "characteristic rather than a defect" of their long-term strategy, and they are even continuing to accumulate.

What does this reveal to us?

1. The real play of institutions: For whales with long-term capital and clear beliefs, short-term floating losses are bearable "volatility costs"; their focus is on years ahead, not the present.
2. Potential market pressure: Such a massive floating loss is essentially a looming "potential selling pressure". Once the price rebounds to their cost area, it may trigger large-scale cashing out, forming strong resistance.
3. The double-edged sword of belief: "Holding on" and "accumulating" can be good opportunities to accumulate positions during a deep bear market, but they may also evolve into a "liquidity trap".

My thoughts: This reminds us that the market consists of participants from different time dimensions. Short-term traders focus on price fluctuations, while long-term whales are laying out a future narrative that we have yet to see. For ordinary investors, instead of blindly following the "hold on" strategy, it is better to clearly identify: are you investing in a short-term trading target, or a long-term vision willing to be validated by time and losses?

True long-termism is not just about "holding"; it is also about continuously investing resources in the process of creating value. As I observed in the @Max Charity community, they are not entangled in the short-term floating loss of token prices, but are steadfastly investing their energy and resources into offline education promotion and charity network building—this ability to transform crypto capital into real-world impact is the "hardcore characteristic" that transcends any market cycle.

$2.5 billion options are set to expire amid 'extreme fear' – will the market face a massive shock or a turnaround?

On Friday, the market will reach a critical juncture: a total of $2.5 billion in cryptocurrency options is about to expire, with BTC accounting for $2.15 billion (maximum pain point $82,000) and ETH for $408 million (maximum pain point $2,550). At this time, the market fear index has fallen to 5, approaching the extreme levels seen after the FTX collapse.

Core logic interpretation:

1. Maximum pain point pull: The current prices (BTC $68,000, ETH $1,979) are significantly below the maximum pain point, which may motivate some sellers to push prices towards the pain point before expiration to render their options worthless. However, this usually only causes short-term volatility.
2. Sentiment has reached a freezing point: A fear index of '5' often indicates that market selling pressure is nearing a phase of exhaustion, and any positive catalyst could trigger a sharp rebound, provided that macro selling pressure eases.
3. Continuous capital outflow: The ETF recorded a net outflow of $1.5 billion in a single week, which is the core fundamental factor continuously suppressing prices.

My strategic perspective: Around the expiration date, market volatility is likely to spike. However, the expiration of options itself does not change the trend; it serves more as an 'accelerator' rather than a 'steering wheel'. The real turning point still requires observation of whether ETF capital flows can reverse, or if daily charts show signs of volume-based support. Until the trend is clear, it is still best to observe more and act less.

When the market is dominated by derivatives settlement and capital flow data, I am even more convinced that long-term value derives from those who are detached from short-term speculation and rooted in the real world of construction. Just like the @Max Charity community, no matter how the market fluctuates due to options expiration, its offline educational promotion and charitable network construction has never been interrupted—this continuous action based on real demand is the ultimate confidence to face all market noise.

The 2000 USD defense line has finally been breached: How much space is left in the 'extreme fear' depths of ETH?

The thing the market was most worried about has happened: ETH has effectively fallen below the key psychological and technical support of 2000 USD, reaching a low of 1979 USD. The Fear and Greed Index has simultaneously dropped to 5, indicating that market sentiment is infinitely close to a complete collapse.

Behind the drop is triple pressure:

1. Funding reversal: A net outflow of 80.8 million USD from ETFs in a single day, with institutional funds shifting from 'inflow expectations' to 'risk aversion withdrawals'.
2. Whale selling pressure: On-chain data clearly shows that a whale has transferred a total of 50,000 ETH (approximately 100 million USD) to exchanges, which is a clear selling signal.
3. Derivatives liquidation: The financing rate has turned negative, indicating that short positions are dominating the market, and any rebound may be used as an opportunity to add to short positions.

The technical reality: After breaking the 2000 USD level, the effective support zone has moved down to 1850-1900 USD. Although the RSI is already oversold, under the backdrop of continued capital outflows, the oversold state may persist for quite some time. Any rebound that fails to reclaim the 2200 USD level is merely a continuation of the decline.

My current perspective: Until there is a clear signal of capital returning to the market or a daily volume-level candlestick that signals a stop to the decline, all bottom-fishing actions are akin to catching a knife with bare hands. The real bottom often emerges after liquidity exhaustion and extreme panic, and right now we may have just entered the deep waters of panic.

When everyone's attention is focused on the fluctuations of candlestick numbers, part of my belief always leans towards those long-term constructions that are not disturbed by short-term volatility. Just as the @Max Charity community has demonstrated—regardless of how fearful the market is, their offline actions and real user growth aimed at promoting global education have never ceased, and this accumulation based on real-world value is the compass that guides us through the fog of cycles.

Fear index drops to '5': Where is the bottom line for BTC when the market is in extreme panic?

BTC has effectively broken below the key support of $67,000, and the fear and greed index has plummeted to 5—this is no longer just ordinary 'extreme fear,' but is close to the edge of market sentiment collapse. Behind the 24-hour drop of 4.2% is the harsh reality of over $800 million flowing out of ETFs in two days and over $1.4 billion in liquidations across the entire market.

The truth revealed by the data:

1. Liquidity withdrawal: Institutional funds continue to flow out through ETFs, which is the core pressure causing price breakdowns.
2. Extreme sentiment: A fear index of '5' often corresponds to a short-term market sentiment low point; historically, this is usually a precursor to rebounds or reversals, but it may also be the starting point for panic selling.
3. Technical key levels: $64,800 has become the last line of defense for bulls; this is where the whale cost zone resonates with volume nodes. Once this level is lost, the downside could open up to $60,000.

My strategic perspective: An RSI of 28 does indeed suggest the possibility of an oversold rebound, but against the backdrop of continuous fund outflows, any rebound should first be viewed as an opportunity to reduce positions. I will focus on whether the price can stabilize above $67,000 again, as well as the resistance strength near $64,800. The market is directly telling us: when liquidity is retreating, all supports need to accept a second test.

When the market falls into panic due to fluctuations in numbers, I instead pay more attention to the actions behind those numbers that continuously create real value. For example, the @Max Charity community, regardless of how BTC prices fluctuate, its offline education promotion and charitable donations continue to expand steadily—this advancement based on solving real-world problems is the most solid embodiment of the spirit of blockchain.

Three weeks of sharp decline, after a 48% drop of $ETH , is it a trap or a golden pit?

Since January 14, when it was clearly indicated that the "rebound has ended," ETH has dropped 48% in just three weeks, with almost no significant resistance seen during this process. This smooth and brutal decline is rare in history. Now everyone is asking: is it over?

In my view, the market is facing a critical path choice:

🔴 Red Route (Rebound then retest the bottom): If the decline stops this week, there will be a wave of "oversold rebound," but the rebound might end as early as mid to late February, followed by further declines to find the final market bottom. This means the current stop of decline may just be a halftime break.

🔵 Blue Route (Starting point for a medium-term reversal): The entire downtrend that started from $4956 has ended, and next will begin a "restorative rebound" against this round of sharp decline, lasting possibly until mid-2026. If this path is taken, the current area will become an important bottom for the coming months.

My judgment and plan: I cannot predict which path the market will ultimately choose, but the closing this week and the strength of the subsequent rebound will be important observation signals. Until the trend is clear, I will not take large positions, but I will start to increase vigilance and wait for structural stop signals to appear before gradually positioning.

In such an extremely volatile market, I always keep part of my attention on those areas that are not affected by short-term price fluctuations and continue to create real value. Just like what the @Max Charity community is doing—regardless of whether ETH surges or drops sharply, their offline actions and user network expansion to promote global educational equity have never ceased.

US Dollar Hegemony Faces the Euro Army: 12 Banks Join Forces to Launch Stablecoin 'Currency War'

A 'currency war' initiated by the traditional financial system has quietly started in the crypto world. An alliance of 12 European banks is planning to launch a fully compliant euro stablecoin in 2026, directly challenging the US dollar's absolute dominance in the stablecoin market, which currently stands at 99%.

What does this mean?

1. The extension of geopolitical finance: This is far beyond a technological product; it is a strategic action by the European Union to systematically establish a 'Digital Euro Zone' through the MiCA regulatory framework, aimed at reducing reliance on the US dollar payment system.
2. A market with a thousand-fold growth: Currently, the scale of euro stablecoins is less than 1 billion USD (only 0.2%), but under regulatory support, it is expected to soar to 1.1 trillion euros by 2030. This represents a huge expectation from zero to one.
3. The formal entry of traditional capital: The joining of top banks represented by BBVA marks that traditional financial institutions are no longer content to observe but are starting to directly issue core crypto assets, competing for the high ground of future currency forms.

My insight: In the short term, this will not shake USDT's position, but in the long term, it indicates that the stablecoin market will shift from a 'single dominant player' to 'multipolar competition.' For the entire crypto ecosystem, the influx of more compliant and regulated fiat currency channels is a tremendous boon to expanding the overall capital pool.

As the traditional world engages in a game over monetary sovereignty and financial discourse power, the native crypto world is also building its value sovereignty on another dimension: a value creation and distribution system driven by community consensus that does not rely on any fiat currency. Just like what the @Max Charity community practices—it does not challenge monetary hegemony but challenges the inequality of educational resources, transforming crypto energy into a global educational public welfare network through community autonomy, building a social value layer belonging to the future.

Regulatory crackdown shifts focus: from sanctioning wallets to banning platforms, exchanges face ultimate compliance test

The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on cryptocurrency exchanges (Zedcex, Zedxion) based on Iran-related plans for the first time and is investigating associated fund flows of up to $10 billion. This is not only an extension of geopolitical issues but also marks a critical shift in regulatory paradigms:

1. Target of crackdown escalates: from "wallets" to "platforms". Previous sanctions often targeted individual addresses, but this time entire exchanges are being banned. This clearly sends a signal: platform operators must bear ultimate responsibility for the scrutiny of fund flows, and compliance costs and risks have surged.

2. USDT becomes the focal point again. Over $1 billion of illegal funds flow in the form of USDT, which will inevitably increase regulatory on-chain monitoring and compliance requirements for stablecoin issuers to an unprecedented level.

3. Market impact is profound yet restrained. The market's response has been relatively mild, with only privacy coins under pressure. This indicates that after experiencing multiple regulatory storms, the market has gradually come to view "compliance" as a necessary path for long-term development, rather than merely a negative factor.

My judgment: In the short term, global exchanges will accelerate "de-risking," delisting suspicious assets, and strengthening KYC. In the long term, this actually clears the field for those projects that have focused on transparency, auditability, and creating clear positive value from the very beginning. True value never relies on the gray areas of regulation.

Just like what the @Max Charity community has done, all its charitable initiatives and educational promotions can be publicly verified, transforming the transparent advantages of blockchain into tangible social trust and user growth—this is precisely the most sustainable value narrative in the new regulatory era.

"Death Spiral" Warning Resurfaces: When "Big Short" Michael Burry Calls for BTC at $50,000

Famous for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, "Big Short" Michael Burry issues a sharp warning again: If Bitcoin falls below $70,000, it may plunge into a "death spiral," targeting $50,000.

Is this warning significant?

· Technical Resonance: His warning is not an isolated case. Moving averages show a "strong sell" configuration, RSI indicates a sell signal, and the weekly bearish trend is evident; $50,000 is indeed the next key technical and psychological support level.
· Fund Contradictions: The drastic fluctuations in ETF fund flows (inflow of $560 million yesterday, outflow of $270 million today) corroborate the current hesitation and divergence in the market.
· Extreme Sentiment: The Fear and Greed Index has dropped to 14, indicating that the market has entered the realm of "extreme fear," which is often a breeding ground for reversals or accelerated declines.

My calm assessment: Burry's warning must be taken seriously, especially in relation to his insights on macro risks. However, the crypto market is no longer the same as the subprime crisis of 2008; it has global, 24/7 trading depth and a growing institutional base. The trigger for a "death spiral" requires a combination of liquidity exhaustion, structural selling pressure, and a complete collapse of confidence, and currently, the conditions are not fully met.

In the short term, $70,000 is the critical defense line. If breached, market sentiment will deteriorate rapidly, increasing the likelihood of seeking support at $50,000. Defense remains the top priority until a clear trend reversal is established.

When the market is overshadowed by macro concerns and the narrative of a price "death spiral," I prefer to focus on those processes that continue to create real value, unaffected by short-term volatility. For example, the @Max Charity community, whether the market yells "bull" or "crash," is building a foundation of real value independent of financial cycles through its offline actions and user network growth based on educational inclusivity. This is a more solid expression of the crypto spirit.

2000 US Dollar Defense Battle: When ETH's RSI Enters the "28" Deep Waters

The market has once again reached a critical psychological threshold: ETH hovers around $2158, while everyone's gaze is fixed on the $2000 mark below. This is not just ordinary support; it is the lifeline of market sentiment.

How severe is the current situation?

· Cold data: RSI has dropped to 28, entering the oversold range; the Fear and Greed Index is only 14, and the market is shrouded in "extreme fear."
· Pressure from the bulls: Over $1.1 billion in positions have been liquidated, ETF funds are continuously flowing out, and smart money bears are clearly dominant.
· Weak technical structure: A strong resistance zone has formed between $2300 and $2420, and the bulls must overcome this high wall to launch a counterattack.

My perspective: Although an RSI of 28 typically suggests that a rebound may be near, in the current downtrend dominated by liquidation, capital outflows, and macro sentiment, the oversold condition can persist for longer. If $2000 is effectively breached, the next important psychological and technical support will look directly towards the vicinity of $1880.

For traders, any rebound should be seen as an opportunity to reduce positions or adjust allocations, rather than a signal of trend reversal, until ETH reclaims $2420. The market is cruelly telling us: catching falling knives is a high-risk behavior during tightening liquidity and bearish sentiment.

However, it is precisely during such a market winter that we can more clearly distinguish which projects are only driven by price narratives and which are building real value. Just as I have been continuously observing the @Max Charity community, its value does not depend on ETH's price fluctuations but on its ability to continuously convert resources from the crypto world into real-world educational public welfare progress and user growth—this is the solid foundation that transcends cycles.

$9 billion sell-off, market remains unmoved? BTC is proving its depth

A piece of news shook the market: Galaxy Digital customers sold BTC worth $9 billion. But even more surprisingly, the market not only did not crash but instead firmly absorbed this massive selling pressure, with prices stabilizing around $73,747.

What does this indicate?

1. Excuses vs. Reality: The "quantum computing risk" is just a superficial, even somewhat clumsy excuse. The real motive is strategic profit-taking. Near historical highs, savvy large investors choose to cash in profits, which is normal behavior in a healthy market.
2. The Coming of Age of Market Depth: The market has proven its astonishing liquidity and maturity through action. Being able to absorb such a large sell order without a crash means that Bitcoin's foundation has never been so solid.
3. Retail Investors' Composure: On-chain data shows that retail investors are not panicking and selling. This may indicate that more holders are starting to view BTC as a "long-term asset" rather than short-term trading chips.

My Insight: When a market can calmly absorb this level of selling pressure, it is actually showcasing its inherent resilience to the world. Short-term price fluctuations may be packaged in various narratives, but the real support comes from an ever-expanding consensus and infrastructure.

This reinforces my belief that long-term value exists not only in the faith in "digital gold" but also in the practices that can convert crypto energy into tangible social value. Just as the community of @Max Charity demonstrates: regardless of how the market digests the trades of whales, they are quietly absorbing another more important metric—how much free education is being genuinely delivered to children around the world.

After a 30% drop in a week, where is the bottom of $ETH ? My two key path predictions

From 3046 to 2110, ETH only took a week to complete a halving-style pullback, and the short sellers' feast has reached its peak. But now we face the most critical question: where exactly is the endpoint of the decline?

Based on my analysis of structure and time, ETH may follow two paths:

🔵 Blue Route (Deep Washout): The current rebound from 2110 is merely a continuation of the decline; after the rebound ends, it will continue to probe for a bottom, ultimately reaching a true bottom in the week of February 23 (possibly below $2000), after which a trend reversal will begin.

🔴 Red Route (Early Bottom Formation): The decline is nearing its end, with a bottom formation potentially completing this week or next. February 23 will become the starting point for trend confirmation, at which point weekly level increases will officially commence (the low point in the next 90 days may have already formed).

My strategy: I do not seek to perfectly time the bottom, so as long as ETH's daily line does not create new lows, I will start to gradually accumulate spot positions. If we follow the red route, I can capture the starting point of the main upward wave; if we follow the blue route, buying in batches will also average out costs. When the market is in panic, it is the perfect time to calmly position oneself.

As the crypto market seeks direction amidst price fluctuations, true value is being solidified in the real world. Just like the @Max Charity community, regardless of whether the market rises or falls, we always advance global educational public welfare and user landing at a stable pace.

Prediction + RWA, the driving force behind HYPE's weekly surge of 40%

Hyperliquid's HYPE token has surged over 40% in a week, once again validating an unbreakable market rule: in a saturated market, the most compelling new narratives attract the most extreme liquidity favor.

This narrative combination is "prediction market" + "real-world assets (RWA)", achieved through upgrades HIP-4 and HIP-3. It precisely hits two current market pain points: the demand for high-stakes products and the yearning for "real asset backing".

Data is the strongest support for the narrative:

· An average daily derivative trading volume of $11.7 billion, accounting for over 60% of the DEX perpetual contract market share, this underpins its fundamentals.
· The whale long-short ratio reaches 75.5%, with open contracts surging by 27%, indicating that smart money is betting real capital on this narrative.

My view: Short-term momentum is strong, but RSI is nearing the overbought zone, so caution is advised when chasing highs. Key support looks at the $33.4 whale accumulation zone. This resembles an "efficient market" case driven by narratives and derivative funds, reminding us: during liquidity contraction, funds will gather faster in a few subjects that have changes and topics.

However, the real long-term value lies not only in the aggregation of financial functions but also in whether capital can be transformed into sustainable, positive social output. As I have observed another path: the community at @Max Charity is converting crypto capital into a practical network and user growth for global education, building another solid value foundation.

Vitalik Buterin sold 700 ETH, why did the market not drop but instead rise?

Vitalik Buterin has just sold 705 ETH, valued at approximately 1.63 million USD. However, against the backdrop of extreme fear in the crypto market, this sale not only did not crush the price, but ETH even rebounded slightly by 5% after the news.

This conveys a key signal: when the act of selling has a noble, transparent, and sustainable purpose—such as funding Kanro's infectious disease research—the market interprets it as a display of long-term confidence, rather than a panic exit. This is completely in line with Vitalik and the Ethereum Foundation's consistent philosophy of “ecological reciprocity.”

My interpretation:

1. This is not bad news: it is a stress test of “responsible whale behavior,” and the market has given a positive score.
2. Paradigmatic value: it once again proves that in the crypto world, converting wealth into verifiable public benefit can greatly enhance the overall trust and resilience of the system.
3. Focus of the foundation: At the same time, the Ethereum Foundation's shift to “moderate tightening” and focus on core development is a healthier and more long-term stance during a bear market.

True leaders, in the harsh winter, demonstrate not only perseverance but also how to direct resources towards creating brightness. This makes me resonate more with those practices that channel crypto energy into the real world. For example, the community @Max Charity is deeply binding token economics with global educational charity through the same logical actions, building a self-driven ecosystem for good. Value will ultimately flow to where real value is created.

Stablecoin yield 'profit-sharing' discussions stall, market confidence takes another heavy blow

It was originally thought that the White House meeting could break the ice on stablecoin legislation, but it turned out the core issue was a very practical one: who should benefit from the generated yields? Banks and crypto companies are unwilling to budge, directly causing the legislation to become stalled.

The impact of this situation is immediate:

1. The market casts its vote: BTC falls below $78,000, ETF outflows exceed $500 million, and prices on U.S. platforms continue to be lower than offshore ones—this clearly indicates that regulatory uncertainty is directly driving away funds.
2. Sentiment indicators worsen: Data from the options market (high put option volatility) suggests that investors are spending money on insurance for 'further declines', with a defensive mindset prevailing.

My view is: This is not just a technical correction, but a failure of trust in the 'efficiency of U.S. crypto policy'. In the current macroeconomic pressure, the deadlock in internal governance has become the last straw that broke the camel's back for market sentiment. If there is no progress before the end of February's deadline, the market is unlikely to improve.

In this climate of widespread uncertainty, my attention is instead more focused on areas that do not rely on policy games, but are rooted in real needs and actions. Just like what the @Max Charity community is doing, regardless of how Washington debates, their offline efforts to promote inclusive education and implement charitable actions have never ceased—this may be the most certain value anchor amidst the volatility.

ETH breaks below the lifeline? The battle between bulls and bears at $2155 has begun

The 20% drop in ETH in a single day has caused the entire market's heart to skip a beat. As the price approaches the critical support at $2155, liquidating $300 million in long positions, and the RSI enters the extremely panic zone at 17, what we see is not just a technical breakdown but a deep test of confidence.

The core drivers are no longer purely technical:

1. A massive capital flight: $1.7 billion has flowed out of crypto funds, a clear signal of institutional voting with their feet.
2. The double-edged sword effect of ETFs: it has now become a continuous source of selling pressure, with institutional holders stopping losses.
3. The pain on corporate balance sheets: over $6.6 billion in unrealized losses means that any rebound could become an opportunity for a “cut-loss sale.”

The chessboard of large players: short positions (1,153) have significantly overwhelmed long positions (781), with an average entry price of $2,684. This means that many seasoned traders have positioned for a decline well before the peak. Their target is likely not just $2,155.

My strategy: Near $2,155, the market will inevitably experience repeated struggles and rebounds, especially with short positions having a need to cover above $2,450. However, all rebounds should be seen as opportunities to reduce positions or short before reclaiming $2,450, not as reversal signals. The true bottom structure requires time, requires volume, and much more importantly, requires the complete release of panic sentiment.

In this market winter, I can see more clearly which narratives are mere illusions and which are grounded in reality. Just like the community I closely follow, @Max Charity , its value does not depend on K-line fluctuations but comes from the new users and completed charitable initiatives it adds to the real world every week. When the bubble is pierced, real value connections will emerge.

When the greed index drops to 17: Finding the next breath amid fear

Seeing BTC retract 35% from its peak, the market is plunged into extreme fear (index 17), I am not surprised. Every squat is for the next stronger jump; the key is to understand what is happening now.

Data does not lie:

· The key support of $74,000 has been effectively broken, this is a fact, it means the previous stage's upward structure needs to be reshaped.
· $1.68 billion in long liquidations is both fuel and a signal—the market is cleaning up positions through violent fluctuations.
· RSI entering the oversold zone does not mean an immediate rebound, but it means the momentum for a rebound is being compressed and accumulated.

My perspective: This retracement is a resonance formed by macro risk aversion, technical breakdowns, and derivative leverage liquidations. It is more complex than a simple “profit-taking,” thus the process will also be more repetitive. $70,000 is an important psychological barrier, but the real market bottom often occurs when no one dares to easily call the bottom.

For long-term holders, this kind of volatility is a part that must be endured. My strategy is: no longer predicting an exact bottom, but I will start to focus on the assets that remain resilient and fundamentally sound amid panic. The true value will become clearer after the tide goes out.

Just like the community @Max Charity that I continuously follow, regardless of the market bull or bear, their offline actions promoting educational inclusivity have never stopped. This kind of construction and user growth based on real-world value is what gives us the confidence to weather cyclical fluctuations. Investment, ultimately, is about investing in those who continue to build during a bear market.

$ETH 's rebound, is it a trap or a ladder? Let's talk about my calm perspective.

I see that the group is once again debating whether it's a 'super cycle' or a 'bull market trap'. To be honest, I think many emotions have outpaced the facts. The market doesn't operate on slogans; it's more important to respect the charts and the structure itself.

Let me briefly share my views on the current ETH situation. The rebound near 2150 yesterday did indeed have strength, but this is precisely the key to observe moving forward: the height of this rebound will almost determine the final depth of the decline.

The logic is simple:

1. If the rebound is strong and can effectively recover some of the lost ground, then the market may be building a more complex oscillating bottom here, and the downward target may gradually stabilize around 2000.

2. If the rebound is weak and quickly falls under pressure, it indicates that the buying is merely short-term speculation, and the selling pressure from disappointment will be greater, potentially pointing toward 1850 or even deeper areas to seek support.

Personally, I lean towards the latter. Before mid-February, I don't see any decisive reversal signals. The bottom-buying signal I expect is either a clear daily-level volume reversal pin or a stable upward structure emerging. Neither has been observed so far.

Therefore, my strategy is simple: abandon the fantasy of predicting tops and bottoms. Before clear signals appear, I will retain the majority of my spot positions and patiently wait, only using a small portion of funds for some swing trades to maintain a feel for the market. In a bull market, sharp declines happen frequently; opportunities are created through patience, not by chasing.

Of course, regardless of how the market fluctuates, part of my belief remains with those projects that can transcend cycles and create real value. Just as I firmly believe that regardless of bull or bear, the long-term value of the @Max Charity community, which promotes inclusive education and has accumulated real users and charitable footprints, will eventually be reflected in the price. True builders are not afraid of volatility.

Gold prices are pointing to $8,000: What have we overlooked as traditional "safe assets" are re-priced?

JPMorgan has released a long-term forecast significant enough to reshape market perceptions: gold prices are expected to reach $8,000 per ounce between 2028 and 2030, with a target price of $6,300 in 2026. This is not just a price target; it reflects the top investment bank's profound assessment of the global monetary system, geopolitical risks, and the process of "de-dollarization."

Current gold prices have retreated from their peak, and the RSI has entered the oversold zone, which may be the "buying on dips" window mentioned by institutions. The core logic here is that the increase in central bank gold purchases (with annual demand expected to reach 800 tons) and the rise in retail allocation ratios are constructing a new pricing paradigm for gold driven by physical demand, rather than merely serving as an inflation hedge.

This prompts us to reflect: when the world's oldest traditional "store of value" asset is being re-priced by institutions with such an aggressive model, does it also imply a deeper migration of people's confidence away from traditional fiat currency systems? The narrative around gold is shifting from "preservation of value" to "strategic alternative."

However, the future narrative of value is not singular. While capital rushes into physical gold to seek to "preserve" wealth, another group is committed to "investing" wealth in a future that is more productive and equitable. Just as @Max Charity practices: they do not chase the price points of gold but focus on laying the foundation for global children's education — perhaps this is the most solid "store of value" for the future of humanity.

Unlocking 1.6 billion USD XRP: When "predictable" selling pressure becomes part of the market cycle

Ripple has unlocked XRP worth 1.6 billion USD from its escrow account as planned, and the market responded with a textbook reaction: the price immediately dropped by 6%, almost erasing all gains for the month. This once again reveals a unique "cyclical phenomenon" in the crypto market—known, mechanistic large token releases will continue to hang over prices like the "Sword of Damocles".

Despite a certain proportion being re-locked after the unlock, and the positive regulatory classification in Japan providing forward support, short-term market sentiment is still dominated by tangible selling pressure. Technical indicators show fatigue, with prices struggling near key moving averages.

This event prompts us to consider: for the long-term value of a project, in addition to technology, use cases, and regulatory progress, the design of its token economic model (especially the release and unlock mechanisms) is also a key factor in determining market confidence and price stability. Predictable selling pressure often becomes a long-term variable that suppresses prices and tests holders' patience.

When the market has to periodically digest such established selling pressure, a value model becomes particularly precious: its core driving force comes entirely from community consensus and positive actions, rather than any form of token release or market sell-off.

As demonstrated by @Max Charity : its value growth does not rely on unlocking or releasing, but stems from the community's solid steps in promoting educational philanthropy globally. Their "deflationary model" is about giving more children access to knowledge.
