Why Can Prices Still Fall Despite Large Buy Orders on the Book?

In the crypto market, many traders see a large stack of buy orders in the order book and assume prices have strong support. But reality often tells a different story: buy orders look plentiful, yet prices keep falling. Why does this happen?

First, it is essential to distinguish between orders and trades. A buy order is simply a price at which a trader is willing to buy; it does not mean the funds have actually been used to complete a trade. If the buy orders are canceled before the price reaches them, what looked like solid supp

Before Making a Cross-Chain Transfer, Don’t Just Check the Fees: These 5 Checks Matter More

In the Web3 world, cross-chain transfers let users move assets between different blockchains and participate in applications, while bringing multichain ecosystems closer together.

But cross-chain transfers aren’t as simple as choosing a network, entering an address, and clicking confirm.

A successful cross-chain transaction doesn’t mean the entire process was risk-free.

If you’re preparing to make a cross-chain transfer, these five things are worth checking in advance.

1. Confirm the Source and Des

Cross-chain transfers are not simply about moving coins: 4 questions to understand before transferring

In the Web3 world, cross-chain technology connects assets and applications on different blockchains. But that doesn’t mean assets can move freely between networks without risk.

A cross-chain operation may involve locking and minting, burning and releasing, liquidity pools, or other cross-chain message verification mechanisms. Different mechanisms come with different trust assumptions and risks.

If you’re preparing to make a cross-chain transfer, it’s worth understanding these four things f

How to Set Stop-Losses and Position Sizes? Protect Your Trading Account with Risk Management

In cryptocurrency trading, judging the market’s direction is certainly important. But even if you correctly predict the trend, an oversized position can expose you to unacceptable losses from a single pullback. Truly experienced traders consider not only where to enter, but also how much they can afford to lose and how much they should buy.

First, determine the maximum acceptable loss for a single trade. Suppose your account holds 10,000 USDT and you plan to limit the risk on each trade to 1% of your

$BTC ‌ Hexagram 25, Innocence: Heaven above Thunder. The sky is still holding firm, while thunder below has already sounded once—the plain meaning of Innocence is: don’t rush into action. Yesterday morning I set short-entry levels at 75.6–76.6k; the day’s high only reached 75,398, so none of those three levels were touched. Overnight, though, the structural low was rewritten at 72,692.6, and the daily close rallied back to 73,762. The bounce short wasn’t filled, but that doesn’t mean the bearish framework has fallen apart.
Bitcoin is currently around 73,759. This morning it is still grinding

Does a price breakout above resistance mean the market is about to take off?

In crypto trading, many people have experienced this:

The price finally breaks through a key resistance level, and trading volume also increases. Traders think a rally is about to begin and chase the price, only for it to suddenly reverse and fall back into its previous range.

This is what traders often call a “false breakout.”

What really needs to be assessed is not just whether the price has broken through, but whether the market can continue to accept higher prices afterward.

I. What is a false breakout?

Is the Fed turning hawkish again? Investment opportunities may be changing significantly by the end of 2026!

The hotter-than-expected US October CPI reminded the market of one thing: rate cuts have never been something the Fed is obligated to deliver.
Headline CPI rose 0.4% month over month, while core CPI rose 0.3%, showing that price pressures remain.
The market had previously expected interest rates to gradually decline, but now has to consider the possibility of rates staying higher for longer, or even rising further.
What does this mean for investment strategies?
First, investors can no

If You Buy an NFT, Do You Own the Copyright to the Work? Many People Get It Wrong from the Start

In the Web3 world, buying an NFT often means gaining control of a specific on-chain token. But does that also mean you own the copyright to the corresponding image, music, or digital work?

The answer is: not necessarily.

To understand the true value of an NFT, you need to distinguish between three different concepts.

I. You Own the On-Chain Token, Not Necessarily the Copyright to the Work

An NFT is a non-fungible token recorded on a blockchain that can be used to identify a specific digital as

#Polymarket年化收入突破18亿美元 $1.8 billion in revenue is real, but the “takeoff” may not land on Polymarket

The prediction market sector is definitely taking off, but Polymarket isn’t necessarily the sure-fire beneficiary.

I. First, separate the two numbers

$1.8 billion is annualized revenue, or about $150 million per month; $14.5 billion is the US site’s nominal trading volume in October. A rough calculation puts the monetization rate around 1%—but note that the figures use different scopes: revenue is global, while the $14.5 billion is only for the US site, so this is just an order-of-magnitude

CPI release sends BTC, U.S. stocks, and gold all on edge! Who gets hurt the most this time?

Why can a single U.S. CPI report affect Bitcoin, U.S. stocks, and gold at the same time?
Because all three asset classes are tied to one core variable: interest rates and liquidity.
October CPI rose 0.4%, and core CPI rose 0.3%, both above expectations, prompting the market to reprice the Fed’s December policy.
BTC is relatively sensitive to liquidity and risk appetite, and may face short-term pressure as leveraged funds pull out.
U.S. stocks, especially high-valuation tech stocks, need to reassess the

SOL probes a low of 81.34, with a weak rebound as moving-average resistance keeps the trend weak

Currently at $83.41 (-2.83%), SOL has fallen in consecutive down candles from its high of 97.32, reaching a 24H low of 81.34 before forming a lower wick and rebounding slightly. The 4H moving averages are bearishly aligned (EMA7:83.90 / EMA20:85.94 / EMA60:89.98), with the current price just below EMA7. A move above 83.90 would be an initial sign of stabilization; only a break above 85.94 would signal a stronger trend. Down 8.41% over 7 days and 25.34% over 30 days, the overall tre

What do you truly own when you buy an NFT? The image, the copyright, or a record on the blockchain?

Many people encountering NFTs for the first time understand them as digital images that can be purchased, collected, and resold.

But an NFT’s core value is not just the image itself. It lies in using the blockchain to record the ownership and transfer of a specific token. The question you really need to clarify is: What rights do you actually receive when you buy an NFT?

I. Owning an NFT does not mean owning the copyright to the work

Buying an NFT usually means you gain control of that token

What is market impact cost? Why might a large order continuously drive up the purchase cost or push down the selling price as it is executed?

In cryptocurrency trading, a large order cannot necessarily be filled at the latest price shown on screen. When an order exceeds the quantity available at the current price level, it must continue to match with higher sell prices or lower buy prices, resulting in market impact cost. This is an important component of the actual execution cost and deserves particular attention from large traders.

First, what is market impact cost?
