The market's fluctuations are quite intense, and many people have either been liquidated or are feeling hesitant. Binance can now also add friends; if you have any questions or want to follow along with the trades, come on in.
$DOGE successfully surged to 0.1, and recently the contract open interest has shot up significantly, with money flowing into the bulls. Everyone's partying hard. It's about time the old meme coins take off too, right?
Additionally, I've been holding $PEPE, $Hippo, and $Goat for a while now, hoping they can pump together.
The second half of this bear market in 2026 hasn't really kicked off yet; I reckon we'll have to wait until around May or June for it to gain some serious momentum.
Since 2024, about 90% of the liquidity in the crypto space has been siphoned off to gold. Only when gold takes a nosedive will that cash flow into cheap Bitcoin, and that's when both BTC and altcoins might have a shot at igniting a new bull run.
There’s still hope for altcoin season, but it all hinges on when liquidity can catch up. $BTC $ETH
$ZKJ This coin is getting delisted on the 29th, a classic case of the "delisting coin final dance".
You see, the closer it gets to delisting, the more the whales like to pump it up; today it doubled in a single session. To put it bluntly, they want to dump their bags at a high before it exits the market.
Chasing the highs now is super risky, and the funding rate settles every hour, making it tough to short. Best to just sit tight and avoid the hype.
April 28 Analysis: Market Turns Bearish! Bitcoin Leads the Plunge, Ethereum Retraces After a Pump! Let the Altcoins Fly for a Bit, DOGE, ORCA, APE, ZEC
Hey fam, the crypto market just got wrecked again in the last 24 hours! A total of 80,921 traders got liquidated globally, with a liquidation amount hitting $267 million. BTC and ETH pumped up and then quickly retraced, now we're seeing some consolidation with lower volume.
When the market is shaky, remember this: all coins' movements depend on BTC's vibes.
Current situation for BTC:
Bitcoin's short-term (1-hour, 2-hour) has clearly entered a bearish trend, and the 4-hour timeframe is still at a critical point. The key levels to watch today are the 76800-77000 range; keep your eyes glued here throughout the day!
The verdict is clear! After KelpDAO got hacked for $290 million, the DeFi alliance led by $AAVE has now recovered $300 million.
This shows that there's still a strong consensus and cohesion within the ecosystem; no one wants to see the entire market crash due to a black swan event.
On one side, the ETH Foundation is selling off, while on the other, various application-layer big shots are banding together to save themselves. The contrast is really striking.
In my personal opinion, we might be looking at a double whammy of long and short positions, washing out both sides before we actually see a drop. Why?
Because after the drop from around 79, the market has accumulated too many short positions, so it's not surprising that people are jumping in at this level. From my years of experience, when a price level looks super obvious for a short or long, it's usually a trap set by the whales.
Candlesticks are really meant for those who know how to read them, and the drop from the 79 resistance level was just too textbook; with so many short positions piled up, the likelihood of a direct drop from here is pretty slim. $BTC
$LUMIA The price has ticked up a bit since we opened a long at 0.0732; our gains are steadily increasing.
The market looks pretty chill, but the order flow and funding signals are looking solid. Feels like the whales could hit the launch button at any moment.
Heads up for friends holding or watching $SUI about two risks:
First, there have been issues with ecosystem security; in the past half month, Volo and Scallop have been hacked consecutively, with even contracts abandoned for over a year being exploited. This kind of drama in a bear market really hits confidence hard;
Second, there's a big unlock happening on May 1st, with roughly 74 million tokens (worth about $270 million) set to be released, which could create significant sell pressure.
Currently, the price is fluctuating around 0.9. With this double whammy of pressure, it could continue to slide down. In a bear market, be super cautious with on-chain operations; preserving your principal is the top priority. No matter how responsible the project team is, they can't handle all the unexpected shenanigans.
The current market reminds me of the bear market back in 2018. Just like that dude 8W who recently stood up for his rights with OK, there's always some unexpected bullish buying pressure that pops up during a bear phase. We just broke through the MA20 weekly line, and everyone is shouting reversal.
But once the buying pressure fades and the selling pressure kicks in, we can lose all the gains from the past three weeks in just three days. This time seems pretty similar; once it starts to drop, it could be brutal. $BTC $ETH
Everyone's talking about this split thing, but honestly, I only care about the value for money.
$SOL If the market cap is low, it could multiply a lot, I'm in; $ETH If it drops to five or six thousand dollars, I’d buy too. I’m in this crypto space to make money, I can't just buy coins that are likely to lose, right? As long as a coin can make money, it’s a good coin.
If someone jumps in with over a hundred million and then it gets cut in half, are you gonna cover my losses? So for me, it's either waiting for ETH to drop or going for SOL.
Everyone’s shouting their positions for their holdings, which is normal; everyone wants to make a buck off others, that’s normal too. A big vision often doesn’t help, if you think big, in the end, you’re the one losing, and no one remembers you.
April 25 Analysis: 90% Overnight Surge, Is APE Worth Holding? Have You Jumped on DOGE, BLEND, PENGU, AAVE Altcoins?
In the last couple of days, APE has surged like crazy, jumping from around 0.1 to 0.18-0.2 overnight, with a 24-hour increase of 70%-90%. The trading volume even smashed through $850 million at one point. Many are asking: is this the whales making a move, or just some short-term hype?
I'm bullish on this for sure; this isn't just a flash in the pan. APE has been quiet for two years, and the team and whales have already accumulated enough cheap tokens. Now's the time for a breakout.
For these old-school tokens, there's no need to look at MYX, SIREN, or RAVE. Just focus on ORDI; the playbook is the same. Long periods of no attention, the project team accumulates tokens at low prices, and then they pump to attract liquidity to buy in.
$BSB This whale is really ruthless, washing people up like crazy. Many are still torn about whether to chase?
Yesterday it violently shot up from 0.4 to 0.7084, a more than 70% rise in just one day, and now it’s pulling back around 0.5, still showing gains for the day. The whole time it’s been in a bullish formation, with moving averages crossing positively, pushing it up steadily, while repeatedly shaking out positions—classic whale manipulation.
Accumulating at the low of around 0.2 for a long time, going back and forth to wash out traders, leveraging the hype to pump it up, then baiting the bulls to sell off and crash it back down, a textbook trading strategy. The chips are highly concentrated, with the top ten holders owning over 96%, the whale calls the shots.
There’s still some short-term play: support at 0.46–0.48 for small position buying in batches, with a stop loss at 0.42–0.43; looking up to 0.60–0.70 for partial take profits.
Just a reminder: this is a pure whale-controlled altcoin, with extreme volatility, only suitable for short-term arbitrage. Make sure not to go heavy on long positions, and stick to strict stop losses to protect your capital.
In this crypto cycle, there are really only a handful of altcoins worth holding long-term. In my opinion, the core ones to stack heavy on are: $BTC , $SOL , $BNB , and $HYPE.
As for the other coins, one in, all in; they’re basically not worth a long-term hold. When a hot trend comes, just ride the wave for a quick gain, cash out, and no need to hold on for dear life.
As for those random altcoins, 99% of them are just hype, storytelling, have poor liquidity, and the project teams might pull the rug at any moment. When the hype kicks in and the volume spikes, a quick scalp might be fine, but holding long-term? That’s basically a one-way ticket to the slaughterhouse.
It's another day of solid gains, and we're still pushing upwards! Just waiting for a volume surge for a big breakout, and then the market will be ready!
