Today's market overall remains weak. Bitcoin continues to fluctuate, and altcoins are collectively declining. The pressure from institutional sell-offs still exists, and the market lacks clear upward momentum. Meanwhile, US stocks are also volatile, with the US dollar index already down nearly 10% this year, marking the worst annual performance since 2003. This reflects the complex changes in macro liquidity.

There are several noteworthy phenomena in the market. First, the privacy coin sector shows some signs of life—ZEC and ZBT have recently risen, related to an in-depth report released by a research institution, suggesting that privacy needs are once again being prioritized by the market. However, AI MEME is going crazy, with PIPPIN and ACT experiencing sharp fluctuations, and market sentiment is extremely unstable. Conversely, BANANA is soaring in a short squeeze, with short financing rates once spiking to an absurd level of 4300%. Behind this extreme market behavior is frantic betting by funds on top-tier tokens.

It is worth mentioning that a leading exchange has launched a USD1 flexible savings product with an annualized return of 20%, a single-limit of 500,000, and supports on-chain borrowing arbitrage—such product designs offer users more options for earning returns.

According to the Fear and Greed Index, the current level is 23, indicating extreme fear, which shows that market sentiment is still hovering at the bottom.

BTC0.72%

ZEC9.94%

ZBT68.98%

PIPPIN2.67%

Another day, BANANA is aggressively short squeezing, with financing rates breaking 4300%. These shorts really should go bankrupt. Privacy coins suddenly turn around? Is ZEC truly rebounding this time or is it just another trap? It always feels like a trap. Extreme fear level 23. I'm actually feeling a bit tempted, but I’ll still stick to that 20% annualized return from arbitrage. BTC has been volatile for so long. When will it give us a clear direction? It’s tough to do anything right now. AI MEME’s PIPPIN and ACT are really impressive this round, slapping up and down, causing the little guys to cry in the fields. Once again, macro liquidity is experiencing complex changes. Just listen to the stories; looking at charts is the real way. Financing rate at 4300%? That’s insanely crazy. It seems institutions are really going all out this time. The index is at 23 points, indicating extreme fear. We’ve gotten used to it, just waiting for a bottom-fishing opportunity. USD with a 20% annualized return still supports on-chain arbitrage. That’s what exchanges should be doing. Finally, some real value. Altcoins are all kneeling, only BANANA dares to hold firm. Is this the dignity of a top-tier project? Haha

Privacy coins turning around? Fear not, the 4300% financing fee on BANANA is the real shocker, and some people are still frantically buying in... --- Another day watching the index tremble at 23, when will we ever hit the bottom? --- ZEC went up? I don't believe it, unless it's a sign of being liquidated. --- 20% annualized yield sounds pretty attractive, but in this market environment, who would dare to take a 20% return? That would be pretty foolish. --- PIPPIN and ACT in this wave are really just rolling dice in a casino, not investing. --- The dollar dropping 10% is actually quite interesting to watch; the liquidity story behind it is more complex than the market itself. --- Institutional sell-offs have been suppressing the market, it feels like retail investors will never get a chance to buy the dip. --- Extreme fear? I think it's not fearful enough yet. --- The leading exchange's financing product is well-designed, at least giving those who can't short a way out.

Extreme fear? I just like this, the bottom is here for buying the dip ZEC this wave is interesting, is privacy coin really going to turn around BANANA's financing rate is outrageous, it's going crazy 20% annualized? Looks good but I still don't trust exchanges BTC is still volatile, when will there be a big surge Altcoins are all green this wave, my wallet will shrink again, damn Dollar index has dropped so much, is liquidity loosening? MEME sector is like this, unstable sentiment makes it unplayable, too exciting Fear index is at 23, is this really the bottom or will it continue to dip Institutions are selling, I'm buying, worst case I'll buy again ACT and PIPPIN are like roller coasters, just watching them is tiring All hovering at the bottom, when will the market be rescued

Extreme fear is at 23. Is anyone still buying the dip? Feels like everyone is just waiting. That 4300% fee rate is really outrageous. BANANA's short squeeze this time is quite something. Privacy coins are starting to get hyped again. Can ZEC break out? Let's see. 20% annualized yield sounds good, but the limit is too frustrating. Bitcoin is still fluctuating. When will we see some real momentum?

Another day in the crypto world drama, are the old brothers all buying the dip or avoiding it? BANANA's short squeeze was really outrageous, with the fee rate soaring to 4300%. Isn't this just harvesting the little guys? The resurgence of privacy coins is interesting. Is ZEC truly being used, or is it just another hype? 20% annualized yield sounds impressive, but at this point, people holding stablecoins are probably losing their minds. Index 23 really doesn't lie; this low level indeed scared people silly. AI MEME's volatility is so fierce, only gamblers dare to touch it. Is the institutional sell-off not over yet? When will the real bottom come, everyone? The dollar falling so sharply actually makes people more anxious. The most annoying thing is the lack of a clear trend. If you ask me, just wait. Without clear signals at this stage, don't make reckless moves.
