The market has recently appeared very lively on the surface—A-shares broke through 4000 points, precious metals saw gold surge to $4480, and silver soared 4% in a single day. The US stock market also rose accordingly, and it looks like fireworks are going off everywhere. But upon closer inspection, this prosperity is somewhat虚假. Without real liquidity support, all the gains are essentially leverage unwinding, and the danger lurks beneath this seemingly thriving appearance.
BTC surged again to $94,400 last night, marking the second time it has faced resistance at this level. As the old saying goes, "things rarely happen three times," if it fails to break through again next time, a correction might be imminent. In comparison, ETH's performance is noticeably strong, with this wave of rally particularly fierce, even pulling up a bunch of smaller coins to rise along. The key now is whether ETH can continue to push harder and whether it’s possible to also lift Bitcoin, the big brother, to break through.
Recently, BNB has been preparing for a new TGE event. During such periods, prices tend to fluctuate sharply, which is a good opportunity for short-term traders—buying low and selling high. As for SOL, although it has shown several large bullish candles of 5-10 centimeters, it is still sideways now, and hasn't yet built up a real big move. To see some action, we need a new story to emerge.
From a macro perspective, the previous Trump-era tariff policies had limited effects, but in the current low-inflation environment, US stocks are quite happy. On the safety front, Kontigo was hacked, but they promptly compensated over 1,000 users, showing a decent attitude. The US government recently transferred 225 million USDT, which is related to a previous scam case.
It’s worth noting that the Solana ecosystem has made a killing this year, with application revenue approaching $2.4 billion, nearly half of last year’s figure, and ecosystem activity is clearly active. There are also US lawmakers pushing bills to ban government officials from profiting from inside information in prediction markets. Overall, the market looks very hot, but潜流涌动—there are underlying currents, so caution is necessary.

False prosperity, leverage games, eventually there will be a crash
---
BTC continuously hits the wall at 94,400. If it can't break through next time, it's really going to collapse
---
ETH is gaining momentum this time, whether it can pull BTC up is the real point
---
SOL is still sleeping, what are you guys waiting for
---
Kontigo's attitude is commendable, a hundred times better than those who run away
---
Solana ecosystem generates 2.4 billion in revenue. Is this data true, brother?
---
US stocks are soaring under low inflation, which is abnormal
---
BNB's TGE is back to cut the leeks again
---
Liquidity can't support it anymore, the bubble will eventually burst
---
The government is converting USDT to laundered money, this signal is not very good

Hesitant again, same old rhetoric, liquidity is fake, leverage is clearing out, dark currents are surging... Is it real?
That 94,400 barrier feels like hitting a wall repeatedly. If it happens again, I think I’d just give up.
ETH is holding strong here, while small coins follow the trend and dance around. Only if BTC can be driven up will it be truly impressive.
BNB’s TGE is again a game of high selling and low buying. Short-term traders see this as a gold mine.
The Solana ecosystem is nearing 2.4 billion, which is quite impressive in terms of growth, but SOL itself is still dragging its feet.
That 2.25 million USDT transfer by the government is quite aggressive. The aftermath of scams is still spreading.
This wave of market action looks like a paper tiger to me—glamorous on the surface but full of false fire underneath.

BTC hitting twice is indeed not good, but look at ETH's recent performance... Forget it, don't be fooled by the surface-level gains. I've seen many of those small coins follow the trend — the real liquidity killers are those mempool pending transactions. SOL's sideways movement is indeed boring, but the fact that the Solana ecosystem earns nearly 2.4 billion should be judged based on the actual gas fee consumption on the chain; just looking at the on-paper numbers is too naive.
BNB's TGE nodes are indeed a good opportunity for sandwich attacks; large price gap fluctuations do not equal opportunity, and you need to guard against being cut off by MEV bots. Overall, since the liquidity is so fake, I actually want to monitor which coins' mempools are under the most pressure — that's where arbitrage opportunities lie.

I'm dizzy, BTC charging to 94400 again or will it crash? Is this really going to dump this time?
---
ETH's move this round is insanely strong, can it pump the big coin up with it?
---
BNB's TGE rhythm, a paradise for short-term traders, time to sell high and buy low
---
SOL pulled so many big green candles yet still ranging, gotta wait for a new narrative
---
Liquidity is fake as hell, the deleveraging liquidation tricks are back, dangerous bro
---
Solana ecosystem revenue hitting 240 million soon, this ecosystem momentum is really different
---
Kontigo's compensation attitude is decent, unlike some black-hearted projects
---
Government banning insider trading on prediction markets, should've regulated this long ago
---
US stock market going crazy, low inflation environment is just money printing flood
---
Surface prosperity hides all the pitfalls, gotta stay vigilant everyone

False prosperity is back again. No liquidity support, only cutting leeks.
ETH this wave is really dead, it would be great if it could give BTC a boost.
BNB's TGE, short-term blood, sweat, and tears money, avoid.
SOL is still dithering, what are you waiting for? Come up with a new story.
Solana ecosystem has $2.4 billion, this number is a bit impressive.
BTC at 94400 has been there twice already, if it happens again, it will really turn around.
The government banning internal news to speculate on prediction markets? If this bill passes, that would be new.
Kontigo's attitude towards compensation is pretty good, much better than some projects.
A bull market with liquidity exhaustion will eventually crash.
