The headlines in the global market have been flipping fast these days, but the reaction on-chain contracts is clearly lagging. $CRCL 24 hours down 4.315%, current price at 77.62, and the trading volume is visibly shrinking. Macro sentiment isn’t bad; the Nasdaq is still pushing upward, but the flow of capital into TradFi on-chain US stocks has evidently broken down.

This isn’t just a single event impact, but a decline in the density of news shocks. Recently, the data from the U.S. has been all over the place, and all major central banks are quietly observing. The headlines look lively, but in reality, no one can definitively conclude the direction. This kind of wavering has directly frozen the derivatives gaming. The funding rate hitting zero is proof of this. Neither bulls nor bears are willing to pay up, with open interest shrinking to 430,000 U, prices are sliding down—not due to being smashed, but rather a lack of buyers, pure liquidity bleed.

News-driven trading is most afraid of this kind of environment: the news is hot, but there’s no clear direction. Sitting in front of the screen, I’m glued to a few breaking news flashes, feeling like the market doesn’t even have the desire for a pulse.

In times like this, jumping into positions is just working for the transaction fees. I’ll treat the round number 76 as a short-term anchor; if the price breaks below it and coincides with negative news resonance, I might consider lightly shorting. Until it breaks, it’s unnecessary to even take another look. The market is something you wait for, not something you force.
