Market conditions have fallen into a dull period again these days. Instead of frequent operations, it's better to watch more and act less, as this kind of market is indeed uncomfortable. The strategy remains the same — living in the stock market is a success in itself😧

BTC's decline has not yet recovered, so let's just wait and see. The entire market has completely turned into a realm of altcoins, especially those crazy coins going wild.

ETH has already fallen below 3200, although there are always buyers picking up the slack, it seems better to wait a bit longer. Someone online mocked Lihua, but their holdings remain rock solid. The latest data shows that a major institution has pledged another 86,848 ETH, worth about $279.4 million, continuing to pledge and buy, with a very clear attitude.

SOL is in a more awkward position. On-chain activity once showed signs of recovery, but now traders are all using stablecoins to speculate on meme coins, and no one is touching SOL.

On the macro front, CME Fed Watch data shows a 95% probability of maintaining interest rates in January. Additionally, some analysis suggests that a related address in Bhutan is highly leveraged long ETH. The 40-year Japanese government bond yield has broken through 4% for the first time, and the market fears central bank intervention in foreign exchange. Since January 7, Venezuela's USDT to Bolivar has already fallen 40%.

NFT platform Magic Eden announced that 15% of platform revenue will be injected into the token ecosystem, with half used for buybacks. When will this routine ever change — only thinking about buybacks after the price has almost collapsed? That’s just speculation.

PumpFun recently launched Pump Fund, initiating a $3 million open construction competition, seemingly aiming to manipulate the market. Looks promising, but let's wait and see.

There’s also news that the NYSE plans to push 24/7 trading, which is interesting — could it be that traditional financial exchanges have beaten crypto exchanges?

Market summary: Privacy sector remains the hottest, and crazy coins continue to run wild. The same logic applies — instead of obsessing over when to bottom out (which would mean watching the price fall every day), it’s better to find the right opportunity to chase the high. The worst case is just stop-loss, wait for a rebound, and then follow up.

BTC-2,11%

ETH-3,78%

SOL-3,98%

MEME22,09%

Institutions are desperately accumulating ETH, while retail investors are still struggling to find the bottom. The gap is really huge. No one wants SOL anymore, everyone has moved on to meme coins haha. Instead of watching the market all day, it's better to sleep deeply. Anyway, the decline isn't showing any new tricks. The NYSE operates 24/7, is this traditional finance trying to come in and cause trouble? In an era dominated by meme coins, Li Hua's steady hand is truly rock solid. Just wonder who still has the patience. Privacy coins are back again. How long this round can last, I really don't know.

Starting to look at data again for some psychological comfort, institutions are staking while we are bottom-fishing, the gap is 😅 Magic Eden's tactics are truly top-notch, only thinking of buybacks when the price is almost at rock bottom, isn't this just a cycle of cutting and then cutting again? SOL has now truly become a burden, it's all stablecoins trading meme tokens, how desperate must that be? Instead of asking every day when to bottom-fish, it's better to face a reality — you will always be buying at others' highs, isn't this the fate of retail investors 🤷 PumpFun's 3 million fund looks like it's just extending its own life, let's see first, it's all old tricks anyway. When interest rates stay stable, institutions are still lurking, this game is really deep. When the妖币 (demon coin) runs rampant, always remember one thing: chasing highs is the last madness.

Large institutions are still frantically staking, while we retail investors are instead getting anxious. The gap is truly worlds apart. In the era of rampant meme coins, SOL has been completely forgotten, which is a bit ironic. Trying to buy the dip, but ending up buying at the highest point. It's better to follow the big players and get some gains. Magic Eden's recent moves are indeed a bit short-sighted and opportunistic. They only remembered to buy back when things were about to cool down, which is a bit awkward. NYSE trading 24/7? Traditional finance is playing a big chess game here. How do crypto exchanges compare? When ETH dropped below 3200, I stopped watching the charts to avoid stress. Anyway, big institutions are still buying. This market is a test of patience. Whoever can hold on will be the winner.

Institutions are buying, retail investors are selling, what a gap SOL is really unwanted now, everyone is playing meme instead Instead of constantly bottom fishing, it's better to chase the highs. It sounds simple, but it's really hard to do This market trend indeed feels like being in hell's purgatory. Watching more and acting less is the key Staking 86,848 ETH, this institution's resolve is truly steady Evil coins are rampant, and the truly good projects have been drowned out The NYSE operates 24/7 trading, traditional finance is coming to steal business Magic Eden's buyback routine, is it support or cut? High leverage long positions from Bhutan addresses, how much do they trust ETH? Just wait for the rebound to follow up, why bother messing around every day

Really, this market is so dull right now, just watch quietly. Institutions are still continuing to buy ETH, and us, we're still debating when to bottom out, so funny. SOL has completely become cannon fodder, meme coins are the real traffic secret. Magic Eden's buyback strategy is basically just a last-minute effort, why didn't they do it earlier? The address in Bhutan is highly leveraged to go long on ETH, this guy is really daring. Instead of watching the decline every day, it's better to take the opportunity to chase highs and cut losses, at worst just lose a little. The NYSE trades 24/7, now traditional finance is really about to surpass, quite interesting. The entire market is full of meme coins, the privacy sector still has some heat, everything else is just fleeting. Let's wait and see, anyway, this kind of market is really uncomfortable, I'm going to sleep now.

Institutions are疯狂ly buying ETH, while I'm still calculating whether to cut losses, this is the gap. Watching BTC not rebound, I increasingly feel that 2025 might just be like this. Yao coin really disgusts me, with such a manipulative market every day, who can stand it? NYSE 24/7 trading? Then our exchange would be crushed, isn't that funny? Forget it, I'm not looking at the market anymore. Looking at it too much makes me want to buy the dip, but in the end, I'll definitely get caught in a deep trap.

Institutions have been continuously pledging and taking over, while retail investors are still struggling with bottom-fishing. What a gap... SOL has really become a marginal player; no one even glances at it. Stick to this conservative approach; itching to act will only lead to losses. Talking too much about it only brings tears. In the world of meme coins, as long as the privacy sector is still alive, that's good enough. Instead of constantly watching the decline, it's better to find the right moment to chase once the trend is confirmed. Setting stop-losses, waiting for a rebound, and then re-entering is the proper way. The Fed on the 26th is 99% unlikely to move, and this pace feels much more comfortable. The NFT crowd is tired of this buyback routine; they really think retail investors are clueless. The NYSE has started full-day trading; we've reflected on our crypto trading gains and losses. The entire market is crazy about meme coins; everything else is insignificant. Major institutions have invested 279 million USD to continue pledging ETH; their attitude is clear. What are we still hesitating for?
