The market has been a bit dull these days. Mainstream coins have all entered the "Sage Mode," with BNB stuck at the $1000 mark and unable to break through. That resistance level is as hard as an ex's heart. Bitcoin has pulled back slightly from yesterday's $96k. Looking at the entire market, trading volume has significantly shrunk. Without sufficient momentum, it's hard to see a decent upward trend. Currently, we're just waiting for a clear market signal.

Speaking of specific coins, a certain top-tier token has fallen for two consecutive days, dropping from a high of $0.29 to around $0.21. Some friends in the group have shorted and made a profit from the spread, but such market conditions may not be sustainable for long-term replication.

A few days ago, the new coin FOGO experienced a sharp drop and shakeout after opening, then rebounded about 33%. But honestly, this kind of rebound is mainly driven by short squeeze activity, not a genuine improvement in fundamentals. I advise everyone not to chase highs, especially in new coin contract trading, as it’s very easy to get caught in both long and short traps. Risk and reward always go hand in hand.

BNB0,73%

BTC1,82%

FOGO-5,06%

With such poor trading volume, still hoping BNB will break $1000—dream on. In a market with insufficient volume, shorting is just gambling; sooner or later, you'll have to pay up. The rebound of new coins is purely illusory, just wait for the slaughter of both bulls and bears in the big feast. Waiting for market signals, I’m just cashing out—no one should pretend to be a master. This dull market is even more uncomfortable than a bear market.

That BNB wall is really incredible. I feel like we have to wait for when it will break.

Bro, this summary is really on point. BNB stuck at 1000 was hammered back hard, and the resistance level is truly solid.

BNB hitting 1000 just can't break through, feels like I have to wait for when it can break the level

When trading volume shrinks, you know it's hopeless; there's been no activity in the mempool for a while. Chasing highs at this point is purely a gambler's mentality... The recent rebound of FOGO was a false prosperity that triggered short squeezes; on-chain data has already shown this.

Insufficient volume. In this kind of market, it's best to wait for signals and avoid blindly chasing highs, which is just asking for trouble. The BNB hurdle is indeed tough, but compared to the hellish experience of new coin contracts, it's still safer. That wave of rebound in FOGO was purely driven by short-seller explosions. Don't be fooled; the fundamentals haven't changed at all. The smartest move during the sage time is to do nothing. How about you? I saw that guy in the group making money by shorting. But this can't be copied; when the market switches instantly, everything goes to waste.
