$6 billion floating loss under "stubbornness": How will the market move when the whales choose to "hold on"?

A piece of data is staggering: the large institution BitMine, holding 4.24 million ETH, is currently facing an unrealized loss of $6-8 billion. However, their reaction is not a panic sell-off, but rather a firm assertion that this is a "characteristic rather than a defect" of their long-term strategy, and they are even continuing to accumulate.

What does this reveal to us?

1. The real play of institutions: For whales with long-term capital and clear beliefs, short-term floating losses are bearable "volatility costs"; their focus is on years ahead, not the present.
2. Potential market pressure: Such a massive floating loss is essentially a looming "potential selling pressure". Once the price rebounds to their cost area, it may trigger large-scale cashing out, forming strong resistance.
3. The double-edged sword of belief: "Holding on" and "accumulating" can be good opportunities to accumulate positions during a deep bear market, but they may also evolve into a "liquidity trap".

My thoughts: This reminds us that the market consists of participants from different time dimensions. Short-term traders focus on price fluctuations, while long-term whales are laying out a future narrative that we have yet to see. For ordinary investors, instead of blindly following the "hold on" strategy, it is better to clearly identify: are you investing in a short-term trading target, or a long-term vision willing to be validated by time and losses?

True long-termism is not just about "holding"; it is also about continuously investing resources in the process of creating value. As I observed in the @Max Charity community, they are not entangled in the short-term floating loss of token prices, but are steadfastly investing their energy and resources into offline education promotion and charity network building—this ability to transform crypto capital into real-world impact is the "hardcore characteristic" that transcends any market cycle.

Three weeks of sharp decline, after a 48% drop of $ETH , is it a trap or a golden pit?

Since January 14, when it was clearly indicated that the "rebound has ended," ETH has dropped 48% in just three weeks, with almost no significant resistance seen during this process. This smooth and brutal decline is rare in history. Now everyone is asking: is it over?

In my view, the market is facing a critical path choice:

🔴 Red Route (Rebound then retest the bottom): If the decline stops this week, there will be a wave of "oversold rebound," but the rebound might end as early as mid to late February, followed by further declines to find the final market bottom. This means the current stop of decline may just be a halftime break.

🔵 Blue Route (Starting point for a medium-term reversal): The entire downtrend that started from $4956 has ended, and next will begin a "restorative rebound" against this round of sharp decline, lasting possibly until mid-2026. If this path is taken, the current area will become an important bottom for the coming months.

My judgment and plan: I cannot predict which path the market will ultimately choose, but the closing this week and the strength of the subsequent rebound will be important observation signals. Until the trend is clear, I will not take large positions, but I will start to increase vigilance and wait for structural stop signals to appear before gradually positioning.

In such an extremely volatile market, I always keep part of my attention on those areas that are not affected by short-term price fluctuations and continue to create real value. Just like what the @Max Charity community is doing—regardless of whether ETH surges or drops sharply, their offline actions and user network expansion to promote global educational equity have never ceased.

US Dollar Hegemony Faces the Euro Army: 12 Banks Join Forces to Launch Stablecoin 'Currency War'

A 'currency war' initiated by the traditional financial system has quietly started in the crypto world. An alliance of 12 European banks is planning to launch a fully compliant euro stablecoin in 2026, directly challenging the US dollar's absolute dominance in the stablecoin market, which currently stands at 99%.

What does this mean?

1. The extension of geopolitical finance: This is far beyond a technological product; it is a strategic action by the European Union to systematically establish a 'Digital Euro Zone' through the MiCA regulatory framework, aimed at reducing reliance on the US dollar payment system.
2. A market with a thousand-fold growth: Currently, the scale of euro stablecoins is less than 1 billion USD (only 0.2%), but under regulatory support, it is expected to soar to 1.1 trillion euros by 2030. This represents a huge expectation from zero to one.
3. The formal entry of traditional capital: The joining of top banks represented by BBVA marks that traditional financial institutions are no longer content to observe but are starting to directly issue core crypto assets, competing for the high ground of future currency forms.

My insight: In the short term, this will not shake USDT's position, but in the long term, it indicates that the stablecoin market will shift from a 'single dominant player' to 'multipolar competition.' For the entire crypto ecosystem, the influx of more compliant and regulated fiat currency channels is a tremendous boon to expanding the overall capital pool.

As the traditional world engages in a game over monetary sovereignty and financial discourse power, the native crypto world is also building its value sovereignty on another dimension: a value creation and distribution system driven by community consensus that does not rely on any fiat currency. Just like what the @Max Charity community practices—it does not challenge monetary hegemony but challenges the inequality of educational resources, transforming crypto energy into a global educational public welfare network through community autonomy, building a social value layer belonging to the future.

Regulatory crackdown shifts focus: from sanctioning wallets to banning platforms, exchanges face ultimate compliance test

The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on cryptocurrency exchanges (Zedcex, Zedxion) based on Iran-related plans for the first time and is investigating associated fund flows of up to $10 billion. This is not only an extension of geopolitical issues but also marks a critical shift in regulatory paradigms:

1. Target of crackdown escalates: from "wallets" to "platforms". Previous sanctions often targeted individual addresses, but this time entire exchanges are being banned. This clearly sends a signal: platform operators must bear ultimate responsibility for the scrutiny of fund flows, and compliance costs and risks have surged.

2. USDT becomes the focal point again. Over $1 billion of illegal funds flow in the form of USDT, which will inevitably increase regulatory on-chain monitoring and compliance requirements for stablecoin issuers to an unprecedented level.

3. Market impact is profound yet restrained. The market's response has been relatively mild, with only privacy coins under pressure. This indicates that after experiencing multiple regulatory storms, the market has gradually come to view "compliance" as a necessary path for long-term development, rather than merely a negative factor.

My judgment: In the short term, global exchanges will accelerate "de-risking," delisting suspicious assets, and strengthening KYC. In the long term, this actually clears the field for those projects that have focused on transparency, auditability, and creating clear positive value from the very beginning. True value never relies on the gray areas of regulation.

Just like what the @Max Charity community has done, all its charitable initiatives and educational promotions can be publicly verified, transforming the transparent advantages of blockchain into tangible social trust and user growth—this is precisely the most sustainable value narrative in the new regulatory era.

"Death Spiral" Warning Resurfaces: When "Big Short" Michael Burry Calls for BTC at $50,000

Famous for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, "Big Short" Michael Burry issues a sharp warning again: If Bitcoin falls below $70,000, it may plunge into a "death spiral," targeting $50,000.

Is this warning significant?

· Technical Resonance: His warning is not an isolated case. Moving averages show a "strong sell" configuration, RSI indicates a sell signal, and the weekly bearish trend is evident; $50,000 is indeed the next key technical and psychological support level.
· Fund Contradictions: The drastic fluctuations in ETF fund flows (inflow of $560 million yesterday, outflow of $270 million today) corroborate the current hesitation and divergence in the market.
· Extreme Sentiment: The Fear and Greed Index has dropped to 14, indicating that the market has entered the realm of "extreme fear," which is often a breeding ground for reversals or accelerated declines.

My calm assessment: Burry's warning must be taken seriously, especially in relation to his insights on macro risks. However, the crypto market is no longer the same as the subprime crisis of 2008; it has global, 24/7 trading depth and a growing institutional base. The trigger for a "death spiral" requires a combination of liquidity exhaustion, structural selling pressure, and a complete collapse of confidence, and currently, the conditions are not fully met.

In the short term, $70,000 is the critical defense line. If breached, market sentiment will deteriorate rapidly, increasing the likelihood of seeking support at $50,000. Defense remains the top priority until a clear trend reversal is established.

When the market is overshadowed by macro concerns and the narrative of a price "death spiral," I prefer to focus on those processes that continue to create real value, unaffected by short-term volatility. For example, the @Max Charity community, whether the market yells "bull" or "crash," is building a foundation of real value independent of financial cycles through its offline actions and user network growth based on educational inclusivity. This is a more solid expression of the crypto spirit.

2000 US Dollar Defense Battle: When ETH's RSI Enters the "28" Deep Waters

The market has once again reached a critical psychological threshold: ETH hovers around $2158, while everyone's gaze is fixed on the $2000 mark below. This is not just ordinary support; it is the lifeline of market sentiment.

How severe is the current situation?

· Cold data: RSI has dropped to 28, entering the oversold range; the Fear and Greed Index is only 14, and the market is shrouded in "extreme fear."
· Pressure from the bulls: Over $1.1 billion in positions have been liquidated, ETF funds are continuously flowing out, and smart money bears are clearly dominant.
· Weak technical structure: A strong resistance zone has formed between $2300 and $2420, and the bulls must overcome this high wall to launch a counterattack.

My perspective: Although an RSI of 28 typically suggests that a rebound may be near, in the current downtrend dominated by liquidation, capital outflows, and macro sentiment, the oversold condition can persist for longer. If $2000 is effectively breached, the next important psychological and technical support will look directly towards the vicinity of $1880.

For traders, any rebound should be seen as an opportunity to reduce positions or adjust allocations, rather than a signal of trend reversal, until ETH reclaims $2420. The market is cruelly telling us: catching falling knives is a high-risk behavior during tightening liquidity and bearish sentiment.

However, it is precisely during such a market winter that we can more clearly distinguish which projects are only driven by price narratives and which are building real value. Just as I have been continuously observing the @Max Charity community, its value does not depend on ETH's price fluctuations but on its ability to continuously convert resources from the crypto world into real-world educational public welfare progress and user growth—this is the solid foundation that transcends cycles.

$9 billion sell-off, market remains unmoved? BTC is proving its depth

A piece of news shook the market: Galaxy Digital customers sold BTC worth $9 billion. But even more surprisingly, the market not only did not crash but instead firmly absorbed this massive selling pressure, with prices stabilizing around $73,747.

What does this indicate?

1. Excuses vs. Reality: The "quantum computing risk" is just a superficial, even somewhat clumsy excuse. The real motive is strategic profit-taking. Near historical highs, savvy large investors choose to cash in profits, which is normal behavior in a healthy market.
2. The Coming of Age of Market Depth: The market has proven its astonishing liquidity and maturity through action. Being able to absorb such a large sell order without a crash means that Bitcoin's foundation has never been so solid.
3. Retail Investors' Composure: On-chain data shows that retail investors are not panicking and selling. This may indicate that more holders are starting to view BTC as a "long-term asset" rather than short-term trading chips.

My Insight: When a market can calmly absorb this level of selling pressure, it is actually showcasing its inherent resilience to the world. Short-term price fluctuations may be packaged in various narratives, but the real support comes from an ever-expanding consensus and infrastructure.

This reinforces my belief that long-term value exists not only in the faith in "digital gold" but also in the practices that can convert crypto energy into tangible social value. Just as the community of @Max Charity demonstrates: regardless of how the market digests the trades of whales, they are quietly absorbing another more important metric—how much free education is being genuinely delivered to children around the world.

Prediction + RWA, the driving force behind HYPE's weekly surge of 40%

Hyperliquid's HYPE token has surged over 40% in a week, once again validating an unbreakable market rule: in a saturated market, the most compelling new narratives attract the most extreme liquidity favor.

This narrative combination is "prediction market" + "real-world assets (RWA)", achieved through upgrades HIP-4 and HIP-3. It precisely hits two current market pain points: the demand for high-stakes products and the yearning for "real asset backing".

Data is the strongest support for the narrative:

· An average daily derivative trading volume of $11.7 billion, accounting for over 60% of the DEX perpetual contract market share, this underpins its fundamentals.
· The whale long-short ratio reaches 75.5%, with open contracts surging by 27%, indicating that smart money is betting real capital on this narrative.

My view: Short-term momentum is strong, but RSI is nearing the overbought zone, so caution is advised when chasing highs. Key support looks at the $33.4 whale accumulation zone. This resembles an "efficient market" case driven by narratives and derivative funds, reminding us: during liquidity contraction, funds will gather faster in a few subjects that have changes and topics.

However, the real long-term value lies not only in the aggregation of financial functions but also in whether capital can be transformed into sustainable, positive social output. As I have observed another path: the community at @Max Charity is converting crypto capital into a practical network and user growth for global education, building another solid value foundation.

Vitalik Buterin sold 700 ETH, why did the market not drop but instead rise?

Vitalik Buterin has just sold 705 ETH, valued at approximately 1.63 million USD. However, against the backdrop of extreme fear in the crypto market, this sale not only did not crush the price, but ETH even rebounded slightly by 5% after the news.

This conveys a key signal: when the act of selling has a noble, transparent, and sustainable purpose—such as funding Kanro's infectious disease research—the market interprets it as a display of long-term confidence, rather than a panic exit. This is completely in line with Vitalik and the Ethereum Foundation's consistent philosophy of “ecological reciprocity.”

My interpretation:

1. This is not bad news: it is a stress test of “responsible whale behavior,” and the market has given a positive score.
2. Paradigmatic value: it once again proves that in the crypto world, converting wealth into verifiable public benefit can greatly enhance the overall trust and resilience of the system.
3. Focus of the foundation: At the same time, the Ethereum Foundation's shift to “moderate tightening” and focus on core development is a healthier and more long-term stance during a bear market.

True leaders, in the harsh winter, demonstrate not only perseverance but also how to direct resources towards creating brightness. This makes me resonate more with those practices that channel crypto energy into the real world. For example, the community @Max Charity is deeply binding token economics with global educational charity through the same logical actions, building a self-driven ecosystem for good. Value will ultimately flow to where real value is created.

Stablecoin yield 'profit-sharing' discussions stall, market confidence takes another heavy blow

It was originally thought that the White House meeting could break the ice on stablecoin legislation, but it turned out the core issue was a very practical one: who should benefit from the generated yields? Banks and crypto companies are unwilling to budge, directly causing the legislation to become stalled.

The impact of this situation is immediate:

1. The market casts its vote: BTC falls below $78,000, ETF outflows exceed $500 million, and prices on U.S. platforms continue to be lower than offshore ones—this clearly indicates that regulatory uncertainty is directly driving away funds.
2. Sentiment indicators worsen: Data from the options market (high put option volatility) suggests that investors are spending money on insurance for 'further declines', with a defensive mindset prevailing.

My view is: This is not just a technical correction, but a failure of trust in the 'efficiency of U.S. crypto policy'. In the current macroeconomic pressure, the deadlock in internal governance has become the last straw that broke the camel's back for market sentiment. If there is no progress before the end of February's deadline, the market is unlikely to improve.

In this climate of widespread uncertainty, my attention is instead more focused on areas that do not rely on policy games, but are rooted in real needs and actions. Just like what the @Max Charity community is doing, regardless of how Washington debates, their offline efforts to promote inclusive education and implement charitable actions have never ceased—this may be the most certain value anchor amidst the volatility.

$ETH 's rebound, is it a trap or a ladder? Let's talk about my calm perspective.

I see that the group is once again debating whether it's a 'super cycle' or a 'bull market trap'. To be honest, I think many emotions have outpaced the facts. The market doesn't operate on slogans; it's more important to respect the charts and the structure itself.

Let me briefly share my views on the current ETH situation. The rebound near 2150 yesterday did indeed have strength, but this is precisely the key to observe moving forward: the height of this rebound will almost determine the final depth of the decline.

The logic is simple:

1. If the rebound is strong and can effectively recover some of the lost ground, then the market may be building a more complex oscillating bottom here, and the downward target may gradually stabilize around 2000.

2. If the rebound is weak and quickly falls under pressure, it indicates that the buying is merely short-term speculation, and the selling pressure from disappointment will be greater, potentially pointing toward 1850 or even deeper areas to seek support.

Personally, I lean towards the latter. Before mid-February, I don't see any decisive reversal signals. The bottom-buying signal I expect is either a clear daily-level volume reversal pin or a stable upward structure emerging. Neither has been observed so far.

Therefore, my strategy is simple: abandon the fantasy of predicting tops and bottoms. Before clear signals appear, I will retain the majority of my spot positions and patiently wait, only using a small portion of funds for some swing trades to maintain a feel for the market. In a bull market, sharp declines happen frequently; opportunities are created through patience, not by chasing.

Of course, regardless of how the market fluctuates, part of my belief remains with those projects that can transcend cycles and create real value. Just as I firmly believe that regardless of bull or bear, the long-term value of the @Max Charity community, which promotes inclusive education and has accumulated real users and charitable footprints, will eventually be reflected in the price. True builders are not afraid of volatility.

Gold prices are pointing to $8,000: What have we overlooked as traditional "safe assets" are re-priced?

JPMorgan has released a long-term forecast significant enough to reshape market perceptions: gold prices are expected to reach $8,000 per ounce between 2028 and 2030, with a target price of $6,300 in 2026. This is not just a price target; it reflects the top investment bank's profound assessment of the global monetary system, geopolitical risks, and the process of "de-dollarization."

Current gold prices have retreated from their peak, and the RSI has entered the oversold zone, which may be the "buying on dips" window mentioned by institutions. The core logic here is that the increase in central bank gold purchases (with annual demand expected to reach 800 tons) and the rise in retail allocation ratios are constructing a new pricing paradigm for gold driven by physical demand, rather than merely serving as an inflation hedge.

This prompts us to reflect: when the world's oldest traditional "store of value" asset is being re-priced by institutions with such an aggressive model, does it also imply a deeper migration of people's confidence away from traditional fiat currency systems? The narrative around gold is shifting from "preservation of value" to "strategic alternative."

However, the future narrative of value is not singular. While capital rushes into physical gold to seek to "preserve" wealth, another group is committed to "investing" wealth in a future that is more productive and equitable. Just as @Max Charity practices: they do not chase the price points of gold but focus on laying the foundation for global children's education — perhaps this is the most solid "store of value" for the future of humanity.

Unlocking 1.6 billion USD XRP: When "predictable" selling pressure becomes part of the market cycle

Ripple has unlocked XRP worth 1.6 billion USD from its escrow account as planned, and the market responded with a textbook reaction: the price immediately dropped by 6%, almost erasing all gains for the month. This once again reveals a unique "cyclical phenomenon" in the crypto market—known, mechanistic large token releases will continue to hang over prices like the "Sword of Damocles".

Despite a certain proportion being re-locked after the unlock, and the positive regulatory classification in Japan providing forward support, short-term market sentiment is still dominated by tangible selling pressure. Technical indicators show fatigue, with prices struggling near key moving averages.

This event prompts us to consider: for the long-term value of a project, in addition to technology, use cases, and regulatory progress, the design of its token economic model (especially the release and unlock mechanisms) is also a key factor in determining market confidence and price stability. Predictable selling pressure often becomes a long-term variable that suppresses prices and tests holders' patience.

When the market has to periodically digest such established selling pressure, a value model becomes particularly precious: its core driving force comes entirely from community consensus and positive actions, rather than any form of token release or market sell-off.

As demonstrated by @Max Charity : its value growth does not rely on unlocking or releasing, but stems from the community's solid steps in promoting educational philanthropy globally. Their "deflationary model" is about giving more children access to knowledge.
