#比特币2026年行情展望 $PROM



Market reshuffle at the start of the year, these three cryptocurrencies lead the decline—are you still catching falling knives?

Looking at the recent market situation, it’s clear that Bitcoin’s fluctuations are no longer the main focus; the real downward trend is emerging in the altcoin sector. Many people want to buy the dip during this sharp decline, but they often don’t realize that it’s usually the institutional whales’ harvesting opportunity.

During this period at the beginning of 2026, three cryptocurrencies have performed exceptionally conspicuously, with declines worth noting:

1. **StakeStone (STO) —— 24-hour decline -24.7%** 📉

This project once touted as a "full-chain liquidity solution" has now become a veritable liquidity black hole. Those promises based on high yields are collapsing as liquidity tightens. The seemingly stable returns are actually just paper schemes that can’t withstand real withdrawals—liquidity without actual assets backing it up, a 20% drop is just the beginning.

2. **Merlin Chain (MERL) —— 24-hour decline -17.4%** 📉

Once a star in the Layer 2 space, it now frequently appears on the decline leaderboard. The core issue is painful: the pace of technological iteration can’t keep up with market sell-offs. When narrative overreach and fundamentals lag behind hype, only continued downward movement remains. Is a -17% decline significant? For projects like this, as long as it hasn’t returned to zero, there’s always room to fall.

3. **Prom (PROM) —— 24-hour decline -11.1%** 📉

Behind this persistent downward trend is a signal of systematic withdrawal by institutions. Don’t be blinded by the ecosystem narratives; the price action tells the real story. Jumping in now is like catching the hottest falling knife—your chances of getting burned are much higher than turning the tide.

Anyone who takes a flying knife will get cut; this wave of cutting leeks is an old hand at the game.

Throwing knives? I'm not that brave yet. Looking at these three coins, it seems like they're either bottom fishing or wiping out the entire family.

Are you coming back with more flying knives? I advise everyone to be cautious; the liquidity black hole of STO is no joke. PROM's kind of slow decline makes me uncomfortable; institutions have already exited. Honestly, most of the current bottom-fishing has turned into catching the bag holders, waiting to be harvested. Projects like Merlin are just ridiculous; overextended narratives, and people are still rushing in? I just don't understand. Instead of catching these flying knives, it's better to wait and see if it can drop to a psychological price point. I really don't dare to touch the -24% STO; it's a paper-thin scheme that breaks at a poke.

Flying knife doesn't catch, I'll just watch and wait until the institutions finish cutting.

Those who take the flying knife are all warriors, but now all the warriors are lying in the hospital.

Fighting knives have worn out my hands from too many encounters; maybe I should just look at Bitcoin.
