Crypto KOL Community & Market Trends

$2100 ETH, are you still holding on?

I know how you feel right now. ETH in your account dropped from 2400 to 2100, no one in the group is talking, KOLs are all shouting "BTC dominance hits new high." You watch the market, want to cut but afraid of selling at the bottom, want to buy more but afraid it will break below 2000.

First look at the surface: lots of good news, but the price doesn’t recognize it.

Glamsterdam upgrade is coming next month, BlackRock is still promoting RWA, Bitmine is entering the Russell 3000 index—sounds all positive. But ETH has been falling from 2400 at the end of April down to 2100, ETF outflows continue, Bank of America has exited. Good news doesn’t push the price up, that’s the biggest bad news.

First thing: ETF funds are fleeing, and not just a little.

On May 21, a single-day net outflow of 6.6 million, with significant outflows this week. Products from BlackRock and Fidelity are losing funds. Bank of America sharply reduced its ETH ETF holdings in Q1, switching to buy BTC instead.

The Fed not cutting rates, a strong dollar suppresses all risk assets. ETH is now priced by the market as “tech stocks”—when tech stocks fall, ETH fares even worse.

Second thing: technicals have already broken down.

The daily chart broke below the key upward support at 2100, MACD shows a death cross, Chaikin Money Flow remains negative, and the price is below the Ichimoku cloud.

In terms of pattern, the 4-hour and daily charts form a bear flag or descending channel rejection pattern. Short-term resistance is at 2120-2135, with 2190 as a heavy overhead. Support? 2080-2090 barely holds, but the real critical level is at 2000.

Third thing: but there’s a variable you must not ignore.

Glamsterdam upgrade is expected to land in June or Q3. This upgrade focuses on state growth management and network efficiency, with Hegotá coming later.

Additionally, Bitmine entering the Russell 3000 index will bring passive fund inflows. BlackRock still promotes ETH as a core RWA tokenization project.

On one side:

- ETF outflows continue, institutions are reducing holdings
- Macro high interest rates, risk assets are being devalued
- Technical breakdown, MACD death cross
- 2000 is at a critical risk zone

On the other side:

- Glamsterdam upgrade imminent
- Bitmine index passive buying
- RWA narrative is long-term optimistic
- 2000 is a major historical support zone, possibly a bottom for big funds to buy the dip

Key level: 2100, just 100 dollars away from the life-and-death line at 2000.

Resistance above: 2120-2135 → 2190-2200
Support below: 2080-2090 → 2000 (the dividing line between bulls and bears) → 1800-1720

Short-term traders:

Wait for validation around 2000, hold and volume up for a rebound, then lightly go long with targets at 2190-2300, stop-loss at 1980. If it breaks below 2000 effectively, reduce or lighten your longs, go short with a target at 1800.

Long-term players:

Start dollar-cost averaging below 2000. Once Glamsterdam lands + ETF funds flow back + RWA explodes + macro easing, these four factors resonate, ETH reaching 3500-5000 is not a dream.

ETH now is just like how it was in 2022—

Everyone knows its fundamentals are solid, but liquidity doesn’t recognize heroes.

The day 2000 breaks, you’ll realize: it’s not that Ethereum can’t do it, it’s that you didn’t wait for dawn. #TradFi交易分享挑战 #PlatinumCard作者专属 $BTC $ETH $SOL

0.091 USD EDEN, do you dare to buy the dip?

Market cap is only 17 million, but TVL has reached 200 million—an 11-fold inversion. Just now, 24-hour trading volume exploded to 97 million, turnover rate over 50%, and the price was hammered from 0.113 down to 0.089, a 7% drop that directly pressed late buyers to the ground.

First look at the surface: volume surge and sharp decline, blood flowing in rivers.

In the past 7 days, EDEN once surged over 170%, retail FOMO rushed in. But good news is bad news—dropping from 0.113 to 0.089 in less than 24 hours.

First thing: this project has been seriously overlooked by the market.

OpenEden is doing RWA tokenization, compliant and licensed, regulated by BVI and Bermuda. Its core product is tokenized U.S. Treasuries (TBILL), with a scale of 168.7 million USD, plus about 40 million USD in stable yield coin USDO. In total, the platform’s assets exceed 200 million USD. Yet EDEN’s market cap is only 16.7 million USD.

Second thing: institutions have already started eyeing this opportunity.

BCG’s latest report directly lists tokenized Treasuries as the “optimal path for institutional entry.”

Moreover, the project team just extended the team token lock-up by 9 months, until January 2027.

Third thing: a classic “shakeout signal” appears on the technical side.

From a low of 0.0258 to 0.113, a 337% increase, then a pullback to 0.089, about 30% retracement. Volume is still expanding, at 97 million USD.

RSI dropped from overbought 80+ back to neutral-weak, MACD may show short-term bullish divergence. Volume spike followed by a decrease and stabilization often signals a second buying opportunity.

One side:

- TVL of 200 million USD, market cap only 16.7 million, severely undervalued

- RWA is the main narrative for 2026, institutions will definitely allocate

- Team lock-up until 2027, no selling pressure

- Listed on three major exchanges, liquidity is solid

The other side:

- 7% drop in 24 hours, late buyers caught in the trap

- Small market cap, whale control is serious

- BTC fluctuating around 77k, the market is unstable, it will be worse for it

Key level: 0.089, the last line of defense for bulls and bears.

Resistance above: 0.11 → 0.13-0.14 → 0.17

Support below: 0.085-0.089 → 0.076-0.082 (strong support zone)

Short-term traders:

Wait for the 0.088-0.092 range to buy in batches, stop loss at 0.085, first target 0.11, after breaking through add positions toward 0.13.

Swing traders:

Wait for the daily close above 0.10 before entering, target 0.14-0.17, stop loss at 0.085. RWA narrative isn’t a one-day market, hold on.

Long-term believers:

Invest blindly below 0.09. Betting on OpenEden TVL rising from 200 million to 77k - 1 billion, doubling or tripling the coin price is easy. But small caps are highly volatile, don’t allocate more than 5% of your total funds.

EDEN now is like ONDO in 2024—

Everyone thinks “market cap is too small to buy,” but it later 10x’d, and they kicked themselves.

0.09 EDEN, you don’t dare to buy. When it rises to 0.5, you’ll say: “If I knew back then that TVL/market cap was inverted 11 times, why didn’t I buy?”

May 23rd, cryptocurrencies collectively plummeted. As of 11:30 Beijing time, in the past 24 hours, Bitcoin dropped nearly 3% and fell below $76k, Ethereum and Dogecoin declined over 3%.
CoinGlass data shows that over 120k traders were liquidated across the entire crypto market within 24 hours, with total liquidation amounts exceeding $500 million.

Trump is the true master of the K-line in the B-coin circle!

Today I heard a legendary story of dozens of times the wealth from a friend in Chaoshan, I have to say Chaoshan people are really very united.
At that time, the movie "Love Letter to Grandma" was filming when the funding chain broke, and the crew was looking everywhere for investors, as you can imagine, hitting walls everywhere, not many people willing to take on this obscure subject.
Under normal circumstances, if someone were to invest, it would most likely not be profitable, but out of the brotherhood and mutual help among Chaoshan locals, it was purely seen as making friends and a friendship donation, and the friend also casually donated a little at that time.
Who would have thought, what was initially thought to be a donation, unexpectedly, with the movie's sudden explosion in popularity, turned out to be a big profit, now the movie is almost approaching a billion in box office.
It’s truly a case of planting a willow without intention, and it grows into a shade!

$61 HYPE, do you want to chase?

Institutional weekly buy-in of $74 million, Arthur Hayes deposited $6.33 million and called for a $150 target, options trading volume hit a new all-time high, 7-day K-line surged 45% with high volume breakout— but RSI has entered overbought territory, price is only 0.8% below ATH, profit-taking is all waiting above to unload. The more the platform makes money, the more valuable the token— this logic is real.

First look at the surface: volume and price rise together, momentum like a rainbow.

Up 45% in 7 days, nearly 12% in 24 hours, trading volume exploded to $900 million. Broke through the 60 integer level in one go, today’s large bullish candle with volume, EMA20/50/200 all trending upward, bullish structure intact, MACD golden cross strong, Bollinger Bands opening upward: main upward wave, has started.

First thing: the platform is destroying its own tokens with real money.

Hyperliquid takes 97% of trading fees to buy back and burn HYPE, which is the real income of $1.16 billion already burned. Circulating supply has decreased by 4.55% of total supply. This is a positive flywheel of "trading volume → fees → buyback → deflation → price increase," no other DeFi project has achieved this level.

Second thing: institutions and big players are betting with real money.

Bitwise, 21Shares, Grayscale’s HYPE-related products, have net inflows of over $74 million in one week. After Arthur Hayes publicly called for a $150 target, $6.33 million HYPE was directly transferred into exchanges. On-chain data shows Grayscale wallets continue to accumulate, with no signs of stopping.

Third thing: a dangerous technical signal appears.

HYPE current price is $61.8, ATH is $62.18— only 38 cents away. The 0.8% gap from the all-time high is the easiest point for those who bought at the bottom to let go. RSI has entered overbought zone, with no deep corrections during the 45% surge over 7 days, meaning all profit-taking is above, with no "turnover" of floating chips.

One side: institutions are pouring in madly, platform buyback flywheel is spinning, fundamentals are top-tier.

Other side: RSI overbought, ATH resistance, no washout in 7 days.

Key level: 54-55, the last bottom line for bulls and bears.

Short-term traders: wait for a pullback to 56-58 before entering, set stop-loss below 54.5, first target 70, second target 80.

Swing traders: wait for daily close above and confirmation of $62 ATH breakout, use dynamic take-profit to hold, target $100-$120, don’t get shaken out by oscillations along the way.

Long-term HYPE believers: start building positions and staking now, enjoy platform buyback dividends, target $150, but remember— if big Vips really start calling signals one day, don’t be greedy, cut 30-50%.

HYPE now is like SOL at the end of 2024—

99% of people think "it’s already risen too much, can’t catch up," but it went from $20 all the way to $260.

On the day it breaks through $62 ATH, you’ll realize: it’s not that HYPE isn’t good enough, it’s that you didn’t hold on. #TradFi交易分享挑战 #PlatinumCard作者专属 $BTC $SOL $HYPE

I've been playing Web3 and doing cross-border work for several years. My biggest realization isn't how much money I've made, but that assets can't be moved easily; no matter how much there is, it's all virtual. Holding USDT in my hand, the numbers look good, but in reality, it's like being stranded on an island—difficult to use when I want to.

$BTC closed below resistance, swept support, and left a rejection wick behind.

That kind of move often shakes out weak hands before the next direction starts forming.

Next week will probably test traders mentally more than technically.

In a family, the first person to get involved in cryptocurrencies, stocks, funds, bonds, and futures may seem to be neglecting their duties, but in fact, they are elevating the entire family's level of understanding.
This is not gambling, nor is it speculation, but choosing to become a participant in capital flow rather than an observer.
Labor can keep you alive, but only capital can set you free.
Sadly, many people often fear the risks of capital, yet they accept the greater risks of inflation, currency devaluation, accidents, and serious illnesses leading to poverty with ease.
Many would rather endure the certainty of poverty than face the uncertainty of potential wealth.
If you are the first in your family to dare to try, then your loneliness and exploration are actually turning points in the family’s financial history, an attempt to break traditional wealth-accumulation models.
You are building not just an investment, but a psychological inheritance, an understanding of compound interest, and a measure of risk.
The value of this path lies not in how much your first account’s balance is, but in the fact that from now on, your family’s descendants will have an additional option when facing wealth.
Warren Buffett once said, if you haven't found a way to make money while sleeping, you'll have to work until you die.
And this step you take is the beginning of your entire family’s journey to find the door to financial freedom.
It’s better to participate consciously than to always be absent.
Wishing everyone successful investing.
Go for it!

A single statement from Trump caused oil prices to crash and crypto to surge, with 110k people getting liquidated

An epic drop of 17.8 million barrels in inventory—more absurd than a joke, in front of a single presidential remark.

The “boy who cried wolf” play, played so many times, eventually one time will be real

The US and Iran have been fighting for 86 days. The Strait of Hormuz is held hostage by Iran, 20% of global oil transportation is blocked, oil prices keep bouncing above $100, markets spinning wildly.

And Trump, in the past two months, has at least seven or eight times hinted that “an agreement is imminent.”

Each time—oil prices plummet—then two days later, rumors are denied—V-shaped rebound. Short positions get wiped out, long positions also get liquidated, a double-sided slaughter, retail traders crying out loud.

Until early this morning.

On May 23, Eastern Time, Trump posted on Truth Social that the US-Iran deal was “basically agreed.” Soon after, The New York Times confirmed Iran had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU). The core points: end all front-line fighting, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and unfreeze $25 billion of Iranian assets.

At this moment, the market exploded.

The naked power game behind oil prices

When commodities become highly politicized, candlestick charts are no longer supply and demand, but a voting machine of fear and greed.

What happened that night on May 20?

The US Energy Information Administration released data: last week, US crude oil inventories plummeted by a record 17.8 million barrels—biggest weekly drop ever, Cushing inventories nearly bottomed out, exports hit all-time high. Any veteran trader seeing these numbers would think only one word: short squeeze. Brent crude spiked to $107 intraday, shorts trembling.

But Trump casually said “negotiations are in the final stage”—

Brent crude crashed 7% straight down, WTI tumbled below $97. The epic 17.8 million barrel inventory drop, in front of a single presidential remark, is more absurd than a joke.

The true soul of the oil market is no longer fundamentals. It’s the Strait of Hormuz. And the valve of that strait is now in negotiations.

But that’s just the warm-up.

Early this morning, Trump officially announced the deal was “basically agreed,” Bitcoin shot from $74,000 to $76,600. In the past hour, the entire network saw $103 million liquidated, nearly $90 million of shorts wiped out, over 110k people lost everything.

Here’s the question—this is not the ending you want

Reopening the Strait of Hormuz, will it be a structural change in the global energy supply chain, or a short-term window reversible under internal Iranian political pressure?

My simple judgment: the latter.

Why?

First, Iran has already started to sabotage. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson quickly rebutted Trump early on the 24th—saying Trump’s statement that “the strait will return to normal” is “incomplete.” Iran’s actual words: “Even if an agreement is reached, the Strait of Hormuz will continue to be fully managed by Iran. The timing, manner, and permissions for passage remain under Iran’s control.” Trump’s statement is false.

In plain language: I might let you pass, but how, who, and when— I decide. This isn’t “reopening the strait,” it’s “the strait has a toll booth, and the station master is Iran.”

Second, Israel is furious. Netanyahu urgently summoned his team for a meeting overnight, Israeli media directly said the deal’s terms are “very unfavorable to Israel.” Yet Trump told Netanyahu over the phone that “everything is going very smoothly.” Think about it—how big is the crack here?

Third, unfreezing assets is Iran’s real KPI. Iran’s economy is squeezed by sanctions, and the $25 billion frozen assets are the real reason they agreed to negotiations. Once the money arrives, will Iran still be polite?

Remember, Iran’s war is fought over the card of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran can’t withstand US military pressure head-on; its only bargaining chip is control over this 20% of global oil transit. Do you think it will voluntarily give up this card now?

Impossible.

The brutal truth behind the K-line frenzy

Let’s get more painful.

What are crypto folks celebrating? Oil price collapse = inflation expectations cool down = Fed loosens policy = risk assets soar. This logic is correct; it’s the direct driver of crypto surges.

But don’t forget—“agreement is basically reached,” not “signed and sealed.”

Both sides are still arguing over four core issues: uranium enrichment, strait governance, war reparations. Iran has now clearly said: nuclear issues? Don’t rush, we’ll discuss the next phase in 30 or 60 days.

What does this mean? It means the so-called “deal” is just a temporary ceasefire framework + strait passage arrangement, pushing the most sensitive nuclear issues further down the line.

This structural risk remains unresolved. Your celebration is for the temporary peace premium, but you’re betting on the potential for renewed war and catastrophic volatility.

A word of advice to brothers

Trump has turned the oil market into his “diplomatic live broadcast”—a few social media posts can send oil prices soaring or crashing. The liquidations and crypto surges we experienced today are just the appetizer of this new era.

Don’t just focus on tonight’s gains and be foolishly happy.

Iran has already made it clear—the strait is “Iran-controlled,” not “free passage.”

Israel is simmering with anger, ready to intervene at any moment.

The nuclear issue bomb has just been kicked down the road for 30 days.

If the situation repeats, oil could jump from $101 to over $108 in an instant, and what will happen to crypto short covering then?

Next time you see oil prices flash crash or crypto surge wildly, don’t rush to add positions. First, check the news—see what the White House just said. That’s the real engine behind the market.

The market is no longer a battlefield for candlestick analysts; it’s a diplomatic live broadcast where one sentence can determine life or death.

How much is that sentence worth?

Today, 110k people have already paid the tuition for you.

In a family, the first person to come into contact with crypto, stocks, funds, bonds, and futures may seem to be doing something improper, but in reality, they are delivering a cognitive upgrade for the entire family.
This is not gambling, and not speculation either—it’s choosing to be a participant in the flow of capital, rather than a bystander.
Labor can help you survive—only capital can set you free.
What’s tragic is that many people often fear the risks of capital, yet calmly accept much greater risks such as inflation and currency devaluation, as well as the risk of accidents and serious illnesses leading to a return to poverty. How many people would rather endure certain poverty than face the uncertain possibility of wealth.
If you’re the first person in your family to dare to be the first to try, then your loneliness and your testing are, in fact, a turning point in the family’s financial history—an attempt to break away from traditional models of getting rich.
What you build is not just an investment, but a kind of psychological inheritance: an understanding of compounding, and a way of measuring risk.
The value of this path isn’t in what number is on your first account, but in the fact that from then on, when your family’s descendants face wealth, they will have one more choice in their eyes.
Warren Buffett once said: If you haven’t found a way to make money while you sleep, then you can only keep working until you die.
And the step you’re taking right now is exactly when the whole family begins looking for that door to financial freedom. Being fully awake and participating is better than being absent forever. Wishing everyone smooth investing.
Go!

If you have Futu, choosing Futu blindly is definitely the way to go.
Other brokers' basic trading functions are basically outperformed by Futu, but if you can't use Futu, then you need to consider other options.
Currently, researching how to open certain U.S. banks online or which brokerages still allow account opening is a last resort; Futu and Tiger's being investigated doesn't mean others aren't, and when the time comes, it will still be their turn.
The proper approach is to first obtain a Hong Kong ID card or make other identity arrangements; leaving the country directly is the most foolproof strategy.

$XRP ‌ is sitting near a key demand area after losing momentum from the 1.54 zone.

Price is around 1.34, with 1.30 acting as the main support to watch. Bulls need to defend this range and reclaim 1.39 for the chart to start looking cleaner again.

Levels I’m watching:

Entry zone: 1.31 to 1.34
SL: 1.28
TP1: 1.39
TP2: 1.45
TP3: 1.50 to 1.54

The structure is still weak, but the reaction zone is interesting. No need to force it here. Let buyers show strength first.

#GateSquarePizzaDay #PlatinumCardCreatorExclusive

$ETH ‌ is still under pressure after losing the mid-range structure.

Price is around 2,075, sitting just above the 2,009 demand zone. Bulls need to protect this area and reclaim 2,086 to 2,187 for the chart to start looking cleaner again.

Levels I’m watching:

Entry zone: 2,010 to 2,070
SL: 1,985
TP1: 2,086
TP2: 2,187
TP3: 2,287

Not the strongest setup yet, but the demand zone is worth watching. Let buyers prove themselves first, then the bounce becomes more valid.

#GateSquarePizzaDay #Web3SecurityGuide

$PEPE ‌ is sitting right on a key demand area after losing momentum from the 0.00000459 zone.

The price is around 0.00000359, so bulls need to defend 0.00000344 and reclaim 0.00000364 for the chart to look cleaner.

Levels I’m watching:

Entry zone: 0.00000345 to 0.00000358
SL: 0.00000338
TP1: 0.00000364
TP2: 0.00000389
TP3: 0.00000414

#GateSquarePizzaDay #30YearTreasuryYieldBreaks5%

$ADA ‌ is sitting at a key reaction zone after losing momentum from the 0.288 area.

Price is now around 0.243, close to demand. Bulls need to defend 0.235 to keep the bounce setup alive. A reclaim above 0.256 would make the chart look much cleaner.

Levels I’m watching:

Entry zone: 0.236 to 0.243
SL: 0.232
TP1: 0.256
TP2: 0.267
TP3: 0.279 to 0.288

Not the strongest chart yet, but the setup is interesting if buyers step in here. No rush, let the confirmation print first.
