This morning, after the US core CPI data came in below expectations, the market responded accordingly. Starting at 8 o'clock, the trend rapidly declined, with BTC and ETH both pulling back. Trading volume on the charts suddenly surged, and altcoins followed suit with sharp drops, which is almost a standard reaction.

Interestingly, RIVER performed relatively resilient amid this collective decline. Its trading volume did not increase accordingly; instead, a clear long lower shadow appeared on the K-line. Looking back at yesterday, it surged over 40%, and today it managed to withstand the pressure. The underlying logic behind this is quite intriguing.

From market behavior, retail investor consensus is unlikely to support such strength, and the protective funds wouldn't be so low-key. The most straightforward explanation is that the chips are highly concentrated—most liquidity is controlled by a few players. Once the main force's direction is confirmed for such tokens, they tend to form a one-sided trend. If the price later breaks below key support levels, there could be good opportunities for contrarian trades.
