The recent surge in IP's price is significant, driven mainly by the hard fork on the 14th. I had repeatedly warned about this timing. To be honest, this token is mainly popular in Korea, with the Korean community pushing the market, even though the project itself is American.



The problem is—after two consecutive days of sharp decline, there’s basically no more noise. The bears are now cheering and celebrating, while the bulls remain mostly silent.

From a technical perspective, the situation is indeed not very optimistic. On the 4-hour K-line, the price has already broken below a key support level. The MACD is below the zero line, indicating that bearish momentum is still strengthening, which is not a good sign. The RSI has fallen back from the overbought zone, and the MFI has also turned downward. Both indicators turning simultaneously suggest that capital is rapidly exiting. Especially notable is the clear divergence between volume and price—while the price continues to fall, trading volume has not been increasing; instead, it shows signs of shrinking, which often indicates that the downward momentum is insufficient to sustain.

The resistance levels above are densely stacked, making a short-term breakout unlikely. On-chain data also shows no bright spots; activity is insufficient, which makes it harder to support the future market. Capital flow is clearly outflowing, and with no new catalysts in the fundamentals, the probability of bears dominating is quite high. If no obvious reversal signals appear next, the likelihood of continuing to test lower lows is greater.

It's the Koreans again manipulating the market. These types of coins are basically gambling on the community's mood. With such a clear divergence between volume and price, do you still expect a rebound? Dream on. I've already said that after the hard fork, you should reduce your positions. Now the bears are cheering while the bulls are sighing. Support levels have been broken. How do we catch the next move? It's pointless. Funds are flowing out so quickly. Who dares to buy the dip now? Let's wait and see.

Is it time to cut the leeks again? I never believed in the hard fork on the 14th. To be honest, it's still the Koreans playing around. When the volume and price diverge so obviously, it's often the most dangerous time when the bears are cheering. With the MACD pulling below the zero line like this, I really dare not make a move.

Is it another Korean pump and dump? Hard forks are just about creating an expectation gap. No one is speaking now... It’s really manipulated. The divergence between volume and price is so obvious; once support is broken, you have to accept it. Technical analysis doesn’t lie. Wait, could it be a shakeout? A classic move before accumulating at the bottom. Sigh, this market is too dependent on the Koreans’ mood, it’s really uncomfortable.

Oh my, this is another wave of Korean people's carnival script. They hype up the hard fork and then slip away, a typical routine. I dislike the divergence between volume and price the most, indicating that no one really believes in the follow-up. Let's wait for a reversal signal. Anyway, the bulls are all silenced right now.

The divergence between price and volume is so obvious, and the signal of momentum exhaustion is already very clear. Continuing to hold on stubbornly is really a gamble on a reversal. Once the enthusiasm in the Korean community cools down, no one will be interested in the market, indicating that the fundamental support is indeed worrying. MACD, RSI, and MFI indicators have all collapsed. My quantitative model has already switched to a bearish signal, and it’s very unlikely to break through resistance in the short term. Either do a T to lower the cost, or wait until a true bottoming pattern appears before getting in. The current position is not worth bottom-fishing.

The hard fork wave indeed didn't go to waste, but now this bear market... even the Bananacoin community can't save it. --- The divergence between price and volume is so obvious, it feels like the bottom hasn't been reached yet. --- The bulls are all silent now, it just shows things are getting serious. --- MACD is firmly below the zero line, no short-term rebound in sight. --- Even South Korea's support can't save it, what does that mean? --- Funds are fleeing very quickly, I dare not catch this flying knife. --- Price is falling, volume is shrinking, and the bears can continue to manipulate for a while. --- The positive news from the 14th now looks like a complete loss. --- I won't touch it before a reversal signal appears; it's too risky.
