I lost too much money in $XPL Tell me what to do 😭
Honestly, I’m down bad. Plasma $XPL looked so hyped during launch, but the chart has been nothing but ⬇️⬇️⬇️ ever since. Early unlocks, farmers dumping, no strong buy pressure,it’s been brutal.
But hey, not everything’s doomed forever. Here’s what could actually stop the downtrend for $XPL 👇 📈 Real stablecoin transfer volume starts growing 🧭 XPL gets stronger token utility (not just governance) 💰 Ecosystem incentives that create real demand 🧱 Top-tier apps & DeFi projects go live 🌍 Market sentiment rotates back to alts
For now, I’m just sitting here staring at my red PnL like 🫠 Anyone else stuck in this bag? What’s your plan? Diamond hands 💎 or cut losses ✂️?
Everyone’s talking about $ASTER , but don’t forget about $AVNT 👀 Aster = perp DEX backed by Binance Avantis = backed by Base + Coinbase Ventures, already listed on both Binance & Coinbase ($BNB airdrop holders even got Avantis before)
Both are gearing up to take on Hyperliquid in the perp war.
The Fed is kicking off its easing cycle tonight with a 25bps cut to 4.00–4.25%. Markets are already pricing in six cuts through 2026 👀
Equities have been rallying hard into the meeting, but crypto has been lagging since August… liquidity is improving though.
The big question: will Powell’s message tonight finally close the gap between TradFi and crypto?
For us degen: - $BTC still holding strong above key support. Once the Fed confirms easier liquidity ahead, don’t be surprised if Bitcoin makes its push toward new highs. - $ETH looks even juicier, with Ethereum staking yield + upcoming ETF flows, lower rates are a direct tailwind. ETH thrives when risk-on returns.
Markets are set up for a dovish Powell. If he signals confidence in easing, risk assets will fly and this time crypto could lead.
My bet? Tonight could mark the start of crypto catching up big time. 🚀
🚨 JUST IN: S&P 500 Closes Above 6,600 for the First Time Ever 🚨
What does this mean for crypto?
📈 Equities breaking ATHs = bullish signal for risk assets. - Strong stock market often translates into higher risk appetite. - Investors feel wealthier → more liquidity tends to spill into $BTC $ETH and $SOL
🔥 Crypto impact Bitcoin has historically followed equities in risk-on rallies and top alts could see inflows as traders chase higher returns. Watch for correlation spikes, strong S&P rally can be the tailwind crypto needs.
📊 My take: Stocks at ATHs = the wind is at crypto’s back. Stay bullish, but remember to manage exits, don’t round trip your gains.
Expect major volatility but this could be the fuel we need for a powerful run.
Why this weekend might break things higher: 1. The FOMC meeting is seen by many as the turning point. Markets are anticipating a rate cut, possibly 0.25%, as inflation eases yet remains above target.  2. Lower rates → more liquidity → risk assets like BTC & ETH tend to benefit when borrowing costs drop.  3. Weak jobs data could strengthen the case for easing, making the “dot plot” (Fed projections) especially important. If it signals sooner rate cuts, expect aggressive moves.  4. Also keeping an eye on labor data (jobless claims) because that can confirm or cancel the narrative of economic slowdown. Clear signs of weakness could push rate cut expectations even higher.
My take on this.
Long term: still bullish on $BTC & $ETH Short term: this week’s news gives us golden setups, sharp spikes followed by consolidation maybe, so ride the wave.
What to do? - Scale into positions now if you believe in the long-term thesis. - Take profits bit by bit when things get green. Don’t let fear or greed force a round trip. - Set stop losses and watch for spikes; volatility will make for big opportunities and big risks.
All I can say now is… Make hay while the sun shines
Yes, it’s a green day for both $BTC and $ETH , and that feels great but remember, markets move in cycles. Don’t round trip your gains. Take profit bit by bit, have a solid exit strategy, and trust the process.
Opportunities are everywhere, and I’m still bullish long term on $BTC and $ETH Just make sure you exit smart, not all at once, and position yourself for the next move.
