V神 updated his profile picture to the Milady Maker series NFT this morning, and later in the evening, he posted again mentioning the project, triggering a chain reaction in the market.
The floor price of Milady Maker NFT directly surged by 0.7-1e, with a significant increase. The associated token $CULT also skyrocketed by 20m-27m, a rise of over 20 times. Even more astonishing, the token of the same name avatar $MILADY experienced an incredible surge, with prices fluctuating between 10k-300k, equivalent to a hundredfold increase.
This wave of actions once again proves the powerful influence of

RTY kicks off the new year trading above its previous all-time highs, backed by a Superfecta signal firing—classic setup for a risk-on environment. The technical picture here screams expansion mode, which is exactly what bulls want to see. Long as we stay above these highs, momentum looks solid. But flip the script: if price rolls over and breaks below the highs while printing a Superfecta skull pattern, that's when I'm throwing up red flags. Watch the upside for now, but keep those levels marked.

HYPE Token Breaking Support Levels
The $HYPE token has slipped below the $24 mark, signaling potential downside momentum in the current market cycle. This price action could attract trader attention for both short-term bounces and longer-term accumulation strategies, depending on broader market sentiment and volume patterns.

Looking ahead to this cycle's biggest moves, I keep circling back to one core question: can I actually capitalize on a fresh token launch, or will I just end up watching from the sidelines while $SPSC and $RAM make the real runs? The temptation's there to hold and see where these play out—maybe ride them all the way. But honestly, that 'set it and forget it' approach has me wondering if I'm just hoping for moon shots instead of actually executing a solid strategy.

Tracking RSI extremes on the 1-hour chart? Here's a snapshot of pairs currently flashing overbought or oversold signals.
Overbought territory is showing up across CYS, BEAT, COS, USELESS, IR, STBL, FIL, ACT, RPL, SNX, ALT, FORTH, BEL, SYS, C98, AR, FUN, ORDI, ZKJ, HYPE—worth monitoring for potential pullbacks or consolidation phases.
The RSI extremes can signal mean reversion opportunities, but remember that overbought doesn't always mean an immediate drop, just like oversold doesn't guarantee a bounce. Context matters—check volume, support/resistance levels, and broader market conditions befo

From Investment to Fortune: How a 2012 Bitcoin Purchase Became a Billion-Dollar Holding
One crypto collector's early bet on Bitcoin turned out to be the investment of a lifetime. Back in 2012, when most people had never even heard of cryptocurrency, this collector spent approximately IDR 4.8 million to acquire a Casascius physical Bitcoin—a tangible representation of 100 BTC stored within a tamper-evident case.
Fast forward to today, and that same physical coin has skyrocketed in value to reach roughly IDR 166 billion. That's a staggering increase from an initial investment of just a few milli

The market opportunity in 2026 lies in who can respond faster. Traders are all vying for one thing: an information advantage that reacts earlier than the market. Real-time price fluctuation monitoring, smarter trading signals, AI-assisted decision-making—these have already shifted from the future to the present. Traders still using traditional methods to watch the market have long been overtaken by speed. The winners in 2026 will be those who take the initiative. Not following the trend, but leading. Faster alerts mean more opportunities; smarter strategies mean better returns. This is the new

POL remains a classic falling knife – the chart tells a clear story. The problem: most exchanges no longer display the long-term charts where you could trace the entire history from MATIC to the switch to Polygon. This is especially frustrating with such a volatile altcoin. Those who manage to find a truly comprehensive long-term chart gain a valuable overview of the price development – from the original MATIC launch to today. Without these historical data, it is difficult to accurately assess the current momentum.

What's your boldest take on where crypto and Web3 head in 2026? 🔮
Are we looking at major institutional adoption? Breakthrough tech developments? New use cases going mainstream? Or maybe some market shifts nobody's talking about yet?
Drop your wildest predictions below—the bolder the better.

RENDER is currently still oscillating within the triangle consolidation zone, with no clear breakout yet. The current trend is neutral.
If the price can effectively break through and hold above $1.35, it will confirm the triangle breakout, and market sentiment will turn bullish, with potential for further upward movement. This price level is the key confirmation point—breakout is the signal, and holding steady is the continuation.

The recent hype around the score farming method for Paradex is quite hot. The TGE is expected at the end of January, and the OTC market still offers a quote of 0.2U per point.
To accumulate points safely, the core strategy is actually a combination of daily hedging and some score farming. For holding positions, it's recommended to follow Grvt's approach—use two accounts to hedge positions, allocate main cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, and mix in some altcoins to increase weight. Such a combination can safely open up to 15x leverage, and even overnight positions are not a big issue.

Started the year strong—pulled in around $4k on a solid SOL position. Caught some great momentum early on and +33 SOL landed in the portfolio. The market's been responsive to moves at the start of January, and timing paid off today. Trading conditions are lining up nicely. Back at it tomorrow.

Looking ahead to 2026-2027, expect a wave of L1 consolidation. Some layer-one chains will face acquisition, acqui-hire, or even shutdown. What's interesting is that many of these projects have competent teams and legit technical foundations—they just couldn't crack product-market fit. And that's not necessarily due to poor execution. The reality is that the L1 space operates like pure PvP competition, with too many chains chasing limited users and capital. Winners and losers will be sorted ruthlessly in the next cycle.

Think of markets differently. Sure, everyone talks about the numbers—candles, volumes, indicators. But that's just the surface. What you're really looking at? Human beings making tough calls when uncertainty is thick and stakes are high. Every candlestick on your chart is somebody's choice under pressure, emotions bleeding into every single decision. Fear, greed, FOMO—it's all baked into the price action. The real insight comes when you can actually see that behavioral layer. When traders get a chance to expose their decision-making process, express what's actually driving their moves, you fli

Imagine if SPSC and RAM actually became this year's biggest coins. Sounds wild, right? We're just gonna sit back and see how this plays out.

Looking ahead to 2026, there's one prediction I'd put real money on: at least one Layer 2 will shut down.
Right now we're sitting at 129 live L2s—probably closer to 150 if you count everything in development. But here's the uncomfortable truth: almost none of them are actually profitable.
The numbers tell the story. Only two L2s—Base and Arbitrum—are pulling in seven-figure monthly revenue. Everyone else? The majority are stuck below five figures. Some barely cracking six figures annually. Think about the infrastructure costs, the developer salaries, the marketing spend. The math just doesn't

Most people overlook a key reality in crypto markets: tons of altcoins could quietly climb to billion-dollar valuations without raising an eyebrow in mainstream press. But the moment a smaller project breaks through even $100 million in market cap, that's when things change. The media attention becomes absolutely intense—nothing like what most are prepared for.
This disconnect reveals how the mainstream narrative works. When it's obscure coins in the crypto circle, silence reigns. When it's a breakout that crosses certain thresholds? That's when headlines, coverage, and mainstream scrutiny flo

FIL breaks through its target zone 🎯
Filecoin just hit the price target we've been tracking. The network's storage token continues to make moves in the current market cycle. With persistent demand for decentralized storage infrastructure, FIL remains a key player in the Web3 ecosystem.
Worth keeping an eye on how this momentum develops in the broader digital asset landscape.

Mobile trading platforms really don't get enough credit. Take JUP's mobile offering—the interface is surprisingly smooth for both newcomers and experienced traders. What actually caught my attention though is the data layer. The pro tools pack in solid real-time feeds and market metrics that make a real difference when you're executing trades. Quick execution matters too, especially on mobile where you'd normally expect things to feel sluggish. But here? It holds up well against other mobile wallets and trading apps out there. Clean design, functional depth, decent speed—honestly a solid packa

Vida has recently been making quite a splash, with many followers jumping on the bandwagon. Everyone is developing various alert tools, hoping to catch some opportunities—sounds good, but honestly, these tools, besides ringing a bell while you sleep, are more likely to lead you into a money-losing trap.
However, it must be acknowledged that some experts' trading techniques are indeed worth studying. How do they grasp the entire project's background and risk assessment in a short period? This kind of rapid information integration and trend prediction mindset is truly something worth learning.
