The undercurrents of the SOL weekend market are surging, my key levels and future market projections
The market is brewing a change in silence, with bulls and bears tugging in the narrow space around $125.8, while I believe more in the truth that the market language tells us. This weekend's SOL market has been particularly 'sticky,' with prices repeatedly rubbing around $125.8 as if nailed there. Many impatient players have been unable to hold back, but the information I read from the market is becoming clearer: SOL may need to 'squat' first to 'jump' better. This is not a baseless guess, but a comprehensive judgment based on technical patterns, capital flow, and news. Today, I will dissect the secrets hidden in this weekend's market chart with everyone.
How many times leverage should be used for perpetual contracts? Stop gambling, this is the real life-saving secret!
Leverage is a math problem, not a test of courage. The backend exploded again, a bunch of messages are all asking how many times leverage is appropriate for perpetual contracts. I've been answering this question for five years, from bull markets to bear markets, new and old traders keep falling into the same pit. Let me pour a bucket of cold water: leverage is not a money printer, it's a scalpel. If used well, it can perform precise operations; if used poorly, it's a self-harming tool. Yesterday, a friend in crypto was bragging that he often uses 30 to 50 times leverage. I asked him why not go for 100 times directly, and he confidently said: 'It blows up too quickly, there's no time to react.' I laughed, using leverage is like walking on a tightrope; 50 times is 10 meters off the ground, 100 times is 100 meters. The difference isn't whether you'll fall to your death, but how badly you'll fall.
Ethereum Long-Short Meat Grinder: Is $3000 the Endpoint or the Starting Point? Why do I dare to increase my position at $2950!
Dear friends, tonight's ETH movement is more thrilling than a suspense drama! As the US stock market finally catches a breath and rebounds by 340 points, attempting to heal the wounds of a three-day, thousand-point plunge, Ethereum is quietly staging a 'long-short life-and-death game' at the $3000 threshold. Why do I dare to increase my position at an average price of $2950? Let me share my thoughts as a veteran in crypto who has endured countless night trading sessions. 1. Market sentiment: The 'wolf-like' greed hidden in panic. The current ETH price is stuck at $2982, with the 1-hour MACD golden cross stirring, but the 4-hour chart is still pressured by the 50-day moving average ($3120). Interestingly, the Fear and Greed Index remains at 34 (fear zone), identical to the desperate moment at the end of November, but on-chain data reveals the truth: the ETH reserves on exchanges have dropped from 16.4 million to 16.28 million in the past 7 days, with a net outflow of 120,000! This indicates that large holders are secretly moving their chips into cold wallets, clearly showing a 'holding for a rise' mentality.
The Federal Reserve's 'Word Games' and Bitcoin's $200,000 Ambition
When the central bank starts playing word games, the market knows that a good show is about to unfold. The Federal Reserve introduced a tool reserve management purchasing plan (RMP) that sounds quite technical at the December monetary policy meeting. Don't be fooled by the name; BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes directly tore off this label: this is quantitative easing (QE), just under a different guise. As an old hand who has been navigating the crypto market for many years, I sense the implications of this. When a central bank tries to mask the essence of its policies with complex vocabulary, it usually means they are entering a new era they do not want to publicly acknowledge.
ZcashFi Launch Ignites Market! But I Discovered Hidden Risk Signals
Warm winds of news are blowing, but the technical side quietly sounds the alarm. Is this wave of ZEC行情 a trap or a pie? Last night, when I saw the news that Rhea Finance announced the official launch of ZcashFi, my coffee cup trembled slightly not out of excitement, but out of a职业习惯性的警惕. Another 'significant good news' has arrived, but having been in this market for a long time, I reflexively put a question mark on all 'good news'. ZcashFi has indeed brought tangible benefits to ZEC holders: native ZEC staking with a maximum annual yield of 2%, multi-chain lending functions, and a cross-chain earning experience without the need for bridging. This is undoubtedly an important sign of the maturity of the Zcash ecosystem and a crucial step in its transformation from a 'privacy coin' to a 'financial privacy platform'.
When the market cries, I am greedy: Decoding the real signals of the crypto cycle
Panic and greed alternate, while smart money always quietly positions itself when everyone else is leaving. 'The blockchain revolution is over!' 'This time it's really different!' When such headlines fill your social media timeline, your intuition might tell you: everything is truly over. But as an analyst who has experienced multiple cycles, I see a different picture; history is repeating itself, but most people are not aware of it. The market's '7-second memory' Do you remember the despair when Bitcoin fell to $15,000 after the collapse of LUNA and FTX in 2023? At that time, experts claimed that 'the experiment of Bitcoin has failed.' However, institutions like BlackRock quietly entered the market at that moment, starting the main wave that pushed Bitcoin to a new high of $69,000.
When the market is bleeding, why do I start greedily hoarding these altcoins?
Behind the overnight plunge, smart money is quietly changing positions. At three o'clock yesterday morning, a netizen who was full of confidence three months ago sent a farewell message: 'Teacher, I can't hold on anymore, my account is down to one-third.' The accompanying position screenshot shows that his leverage was completely breached during the 8% drop on November 10. This is not the first investor to fall before dawn. In the past month, the market has played out the classic script of 'good news turns into bad news' with the end of the White House shutdown and the Federal Reserve's rate cuts. Every piece of news has been interpreted as a signal for a surge, but it has instead become a perfect trap for the main players to harvest.
Whale Garrett Jin calls for a bullish stance after losing 78 million! Is it a counterattack in desperation or a final struggle?
The crypto whale on the brink of liquidation suddenly issues the strongest bullish declaration to the market. Is it a precise prediction or a desperate self-rescue? The crypto market in the early morning is filled with a bloody smell as Bitcoin falls below 85,000 USD, Ethereum briefly drops below 2,800 USD, and the total liquidation across the network reaches 549 million USD. At the peak of market panic, a key figure quietly appears. He is Garrett Jin, the controversial figure known as the 'BTC OG insider whale' agent. In the predicament of a floating loss of 78.3 million USD in his managed whale account, he boldly announces a target of 106,000 for Bitcoin and 4,500 USD for Ethereum.
When market panic spreads, whales are quietly accumulating! I have seen these reversal signals.
The crypto market in December feels like an exhilarating roller coaster, and while most people are dizzy from the ups and downs, we seasoned veterans can smell the familiar scent of opportunity. As an analyst who has immersed myself in the crypto industry for many years, I firmly believe in one principle: when market consensus is highly unified, it often signals a turning point. Currently, about 70% of participants are betting on a bearish consensus of 'breaking 90,000 by the end of the year,' which instead makes me, a seasoned veteran, feel a thrill not experienced in years. This reminds me of 'Black Thursday' in March 2020, when Bitcoin halved in a single day and the entire network lamented that 'cryptocurrency is dead.' However, that turned out to be the starting point of a new bull market. History does not simply repeat itself, but it always carries similar rhymes.
The dormant whale wakes up after ten years, and I see the hidden mysteries of the market!
Real investment opportunities often hide in the cracks of public panic. Early in the morning, the data on the chain exploded again as a dormant Ethereum whale address that had been asleep for ten years suddenly woke up and transferred tens of millions of dollars worth of ETH. The community was instantly drowned in cries of 'whale dumping' and 'run fast.' But based on my more than ten years of watching the market, this situation may be exactly the opposite: this may not be a panic signal, but rather a market cue worth pondering. This is not an ordinary whale, but the opening of a 'time capsule.' First, let's take a look at the main character of this commotion. The ETH in this address was obtained during the 2015 Ethereum crowdfunding period, with costs that are almost negligible. It has gone through the crazy bull market of 2017, the '312' crash in 2020, the historical highs of 2021, and even the deep bear of 2022, with holdings remaining completely unchanged.
White House suddenly reveals: actual inflation is only 1.6%! Bitcoin may迎来暴涨行情
Official leakers are sending an unmistakable signal to the market: the era of easing is about to arrive. Are you ready? This morning, as I was flipping through the latest market data as usual, a message immediately caught my eye: White House economic adviser Hassett publicly stated that U.S. actual inflation may have dropped to 1.6%, well below the Federal Reserve's 2% target. This is not just an ordinary economic comment. As a former close adviser to Trump, Hassett's words undoubtedly provide ammunition for the Federal Reserve to open the door to interest rate cuts. I immediately realized that this might be the policy turning point we have been waiting for.
China reduces its holdings of $11.8 billion in US debt, marking the beginning of a restructuring of the financial landscape!
The US debt 'IOU' is triggering a crisis of trust globally, while the shining moment for gold has just begun. The latest data from the US Treasury shows that China reduced its holdings of US Treasury bonds by $11.8 billion in October, bringing its total to $688.7 billion, the lowest level since 2007. Not only China, but Canada also dumped $56.7 billion of US debt during the same period, while Japan and the UK increased their holdings by $10.7 billion and $13.2 billion respectively. This divergence highlights the quiet differentiation of global financial camps, and a silent financial revolution has already begun. 01 Reduction of US debt: The wisdom of not putting all your eggs in one basket
The Federal Reserve’s 'hawkish' stance brings a chill, is it a winter for Bitcoin or a golden opportunity?
Market sentiment is at a freezing point, and crypto players find themselves at a crossroads once again. The Wall Street adage “Don’t argue with the Federal Reserve” is once again validated in the cryptocurrency market. New York Fed President Williams just threw cold water on the already fragile market with his remarks about not rushing to cut rates. This third-ranking figure at the Federal Reserve bluntly pointed out that the recent improvement in inflation data may contain 'technical reasons,' and actual inflation could be underestimated by 0.1 percentage points. As soon as this was said, market expectations for interest rate cuts early next year cooled off. The dollar index reacted, returning to near the high of 108, while Bitcoin struggled to breathe around the key support line of $86000.
Ethereum's Tug-of-War at $2980: What Layout is the Main Force Setting Up? Understanding These Signals is Enough
The sideways consolidation of Ethereum is like a bow and arrow ready to launch, with the direction choice on the verge of happening. "Another sideways movement!" Watching ETH hover around $2980, many crypto friends are starting to feel anxious. The resistance at $3000 is evident, while the support at $2880 is strong. This narrow range of fluctuation has led many short-term traders to start questioning their lives. What tricks are the main funds really playing? They are bullish in the long run but suppressing in the short run. What signals are hidden behind this contradictory behavior? As your senior analyst, today I will help you see through the surface and understand the real situation of Ethereum.
