Crypto KOL Community & Market Trends

I looked up Luo Yonghao @luoyonghao, this year he's 54 years old, the same age as everyone's parents, so it's normal not to understand the internet of young people. It feels like a meme of being scammed by CZ and shouting orders.

BTC Major Structure Analysis:
From the weekly chart perspective, the head and shoulders top pattern has broken the neckline and moved downward, now the price has rebounded to the neckline area.
Looking at the wave count on the weekly chart, it has now entered the third wave's accelerated decline, and based on historical patterns, it still needs to go through the fourth wave.
Where will the bottom of the fourth wave be? When the time cycle reaches that point, I will use my expertise in naked K-line volume and price, cycle analysis, and the bull and bear characteristics of BTC from 2011 to 2015, combined with detailed insights from dozens of backtests, to clearly explain the bottom features through 【Multi-cycle Resonance】 for everyone.

If you lack this patience, even if I buy at the starting point for you, you won't be able to hold. Sharing is only in Iron Fan Group 1.

@ccjing_eth The downturn is the best time to consolidate.

$HYPE at $45 — are you still bearish?

a16z went on a buying spree of $70 million in one month. The ETF just launched and is already seeing net inflows. Over the past 30 days, the platform distributed $50.95 million in dividends to token holders— but just now, the price surged from 38 to 46, up 15% in 24 hours.

First, look at the surface: both volume and price are rising, with an independent-looking uptrend.

Over the past 7 days, it’s up 7.7%. Today alone it exploded 15.6%. Market cap rose to $10.8 billion, climbing to #13. In the past 24 hours, platform perp trading volume reached $7.8 billion—already surpassing many second-tier CEXs. The candlestick chart tells you this: the upward channel is holding firmly—after breaking above 38 and pushing through the 44 resistance zone, it printed big bullish candles on expanding volume. MACD formed a golden cross. RSI hasn’t even gotten overbought yet. Every technical indicator is basically saying one thing: don’t miss out. This is a real breakout.

First thing: a16z isn’t here to trade coins—they’re here to stockpile tokens.

In the past month, wallets associated with a16z bought nearly $70 million worth of HYPE, and more than 80% of it was staked directly.

Over the past 30 days, Hyperliquid distributed $50.95 million to token holders. All of it came from trading fees—zero incentive spending. Holding HYPE is like holding an automatic money-printing machine.

Second thing: the ETF is already live, and the institutional channel is open.

21Shares’ Hyperliquid ETF (THYP) listed on Nasdaq. It had $1.8 million in trading on the first day, with a net inflow of $1.2 million. Bloomberg analysts even said it’s “very solid.” After that, Bitwise and Grayscale are likely to follow.

Third thing: the fundamentals are so solid it’s almost unbelievable.

It has its own L1 chain, with TVL of $5.07 billion. In the past 24 hours, trading fees were $2.57 million, and annualized income is $625 million. 97% of fees are used for buybacks and dividends distributed to token holders.

A team of 11 people has produced CEX-level trading volumes. Open interest is $9.3 billion, with extremely high daily activity.

On one side:

- a16z bought $70 million in a month, continuously adding and staking

- the ETF launched, institutional channels opened

- $50.95 million in 30-day dividends—real money

- technical breakout above 44 resistance, with a volume-expanding bullish candle

On the other side:

- up 15% in the short term—there are plenty of profit-takers

- psychological pressure from 46 to 50

- if the broader market pulls back, HYPE is likely to drop with it by 5–10%

- and you’re still wondering: “Is this a pump-and-dump?”

The key level is 45.7—just broke out. A pullback is your opportunity.

Resistance above: 46-48 → 50 (psychological level) → 55-60 (near prior highs)

Support below: 44 → 41.6 (EMA20) → 40 (EMA50 + lower boundary of the channel)

For short-term traders:

Buy in in batches on a pullback around 44 to 44.5. Set a stop-loss at 41.5 (if it breaks, cut half the position). The first target is 48 to 50 to take half profit. If it breaks through 50 on increased volume, you can chase. Stop-loss at 46, then look for 55 to 60.

For swing traders:

Confirm an effective breakout by closing above 44 on the daily chart. Target 55 to 60. Add more on dips to the lower boundary of the channel at 40 to 42.

For long-term believers:

HYPE is one of the few assets right now with the triple combo of “real income + buyback dividends + institutional inflows.” Use a dollar-cost averaging strategy to add on dips to the lower boundary of the channel, and stake to earn dividends. Target is 80–100 by the end of 2026—betting that perp market share keeps expanding and more ETFs keep following.

HYPE right now is like SOL in 2023—

99% of people think, “Why is a DEX worth $10 billion?” But with institutional + ETF + dividend triple catalysts, it kept running higher until you were too afraid to buy.

If you don’t buy at 45, you’ll regret it at 50. And at 60, you’ll start asking whether you can still get on board. #Gate广场五月交易分享 #CLARITY法案参议院通关 $BTC $ETH $HYPE

Recently, the ancient cycle meme represented by $TROLL has surged, and $WOJAK has also risen.
A classic meme supercycle wind is blowing on SOL.
$COPIUM An ancient emotional meme, spiritualism.

I’ve been watching his Twitter for a few days. After posting, this meme also maintained at 1 million.
It’s a spiritual type, which can be understood as needing a nitrogen pump or some gas to do something.

$1.13 SUI, do you dare to add to your position?

The listed company just pledged all 2.7% of its circulating supply, with zero fees + privacy roadmap just officially announced, validator threshold dropped by 90%—but just now, a DeFi vulnerability caused a sell-off of 150k SUI, RSI dropped straight to 14.2, and the price fell from 1.41 back to 1.13.

First, look at the surface: positive news explosion, momentum like a rainbow.

On May 11, it surged 19% in a single day, up to 50% in a week, maintaining a top market cap, TVL increased another 18% this week, fee revenue skyrocketed by 201%, DEX trading volume increased 233% week-over-week. The candlestick chart shows: starting from 0.92, a V-shaped reversal broke through all moving averages.

First thing: listed companies and institutions are locking in real money.

Nasdaq-listed SUI Group Holdings pledged all 108 million SUI (accounting for 2.7% of circulating supply), worth $143 million.

At the same time, SIP-39 was activated, lowering the validator minimum staking threshold from 30 million to 2.4 million, active validators increased from 108 to 127.

Second thing: the roadmap hits directly with a dimensionality reduction.

Announced at Consensus 2026: protocol-level zero-fee stablecoin transfers + privacy transactions to be launched within the year.

Zero fees + privacy—these two words together, feel the impact on DeFi and traditional capital.

Third thing: a dangerous technical signal appeared.

Scallop protocol side chain vulnerability, losing 150k SUI. The amount isn't large, but the emotional impact is strong—capital outflow instantly surged to $2.05 million, and the price dropped directly from 1.21 to 1.13.

RSI fell below 14, indicating extreme panic, but also meaning a rebound is imminent.

On one side:

- The listed company pledged 2.7% of circulating supply, supply locked

- Zero-fee + privacy roadmap, killer feature

- TVL and fee revenue both exploded, ecosystem accelerating

- Validator decentralization greatly improved

On the other side:

- DeFi vulnerability triggered panic selling

- RSI at 14.2, short-term sentiment collapsing

- Price retraced 20% from 1.41, with trapped positions stacking up

- 60% of total supply still locked, long-term dilution pressure

Key level 1.13, only 3 cents away from strong support at 1.10.

Resistance above: 1.20 → 1.28-1.32 → previous high at 1.41

Support below: 1.10 (weekly + 0.5 Fibonacci) → 1.04 (monthly bottom)

Short-term traders:

Wait for the 1.10-1.13 range to buy in batches, stop-loss at 1.03, first target 1.28-1.32, second target 1.40. RSI 14 could rebound violently at any time, but be prepared for another 5% drop.

Swing traders:

Wait for daily volume to recover above 1.20 before entering, use dynamic take-profit to hold, target 1.60-1.80. Entering now is a gamble that it won't break 1.10—win the gamble and profit, lose and cut losses.

Long-term believers:

Blindly invest in the 1.10-1.13 zone. SUI's fundamentals have evolved from "high-performance public chain" to "institutional-grade financial infrastructure." End of 2026 target: $2.5-3.5, betting on zero-fee stablecoins + privacy transactions becoming the next big trend.

SUI now is like SOL at the end of 2024—

99% of people were scared out by short-term bad news, only to realize when it rose from 20 to 200 that they sold at the starting line.

Dared not buy at RSI 14, so do you wait until RSI hits 80 to chase? #Gate广场五月交易分享 #CLARITY法案参议院通关 $BTC $ETH $SUI

WTF is going on with $ETH ?.

• $BTC above $80k
• Stocks printing ATHs
• Clarity Act moving forward

And $ETH still struggling to hold above $2,400.

Feels like the market is waiting for one real catalyst before Ethereum finally catches up.

$536 ZEC, do you dare to buy?

Just now, ZEC was smashed straight down from $561 to $536, with a $9.57M whale facing liquidation—liquidation line at $537.56, current price $536.36. Institutional ETF positive news hasn't even heated up yet, but the leverages are already being cut with the scythe at the neck.

First look at the surface: explosive news, but the price surged then pulled back.

In the past 24 hours, ZEC once soared 7.3% to $561, with a market cap of $8.9 billion, ranked 13th. 24h trading volume is $870 million, and the volume ratio is still frighteningly high. The candlestick chart shows: the falling wedge has broken out, the bullish structure is intact, targeting $560–$600.

First thing: institutions are really buying with real money, and they are doing it loudly.

Multicoin Capital publicly disclosed heavy holdings of ZEC, directly triggering a $62 million short squeeze, a 30% single-day surge. Grayscale submitted the first spot ETF application for a privacy coin, a historic step—regulators are seriously considering opening institutional channels for privacy coins for the first time.

Second thing: privacy demand is shifting from “dark web” to “necessity.”

ZEC’s Shielded privacy pool share has broken through 30%, hitting a new high. One in three ZECs is locked into fully anonymous addresses. In 2026, as AI monitoring and government data retrieval become crazier, hard privacy becomes a scarce commodity.

Quantum-recoverable wallets are about to launch, and Shielded Assets privacy DeFi is progressing.

Third thing: a red alert appears on the technical side that must be watched.

A whale with $9.57 million and 10x leverage has a liquidation line at $537.56. The current price is $536.36, already below it.

If this position is liquidated, it will trigger chain sell orders, directly pushing ZEC toward $520 or even $500. The MACD histogram has already turned negative, RSI has plummeted from an extreme overbought of 83 straight down to 32—buying momentum has been cut in half within 7 hours.

On one side:

- Grayscale ETF application + Multicoin hype, institutional channels open

- Privacy pool share at 30%, real adoption hits new highs

- Falling wedge breakout, medium-term technical bullishness

- Up over 110% in the past 30 days, in the main upward wave

On the other side:

- Whale with $9.57 million long facing liquidation, risk imminent

- RSI from 83 down to 32, short-term momentum exhausted

- Price retraced from $561 to $536, chasing high funds trapped

- Federal Reserve not cutting rates + shadow of privacy regulation still looming

Key level: $536, the life-and-death line for bulls and bears.

Resistance above: $560 → $600–$640 (previous high pressure zone) → $750

Support below: $520–$500 (strong support zone) → $480 (structural failure bottom)

Short-term traders:

Observe whether the $520–$500 zone stabilizes; if so, re-enter after confirming, stop-loss at $480, target $560–$600. Aggressive traders can try a small long at the current $536, but must set a $530 stop-loss; exit immediately if broken, no holding overnight.

Swing traders:

Wait for the daily close above $540, or wait for a volume rebound near $500 before entering. Target $600–$640, stop-loss at $480.

Long-term believers:

DCA below $500. With privacy sector + ETF expectations + post-quantum upgrades, target $800–$1000 by 2027. Never go all-in at any time, and avoid high-leverage contracts.

ZEC now is like SOL in 2021—

Everyone thinks the technology is awesome, but a wave of leverage liquidations can wipe out all the retail traders.

The real profit-makers are those who pick up chips in the ruins after the liquidation, not those who catch the flying knives just before the whale’s liquidation.

Regarding the core competitiveness of cryptocurrency exchanges
In the past, the core competitiveness of exchanges was: who could get the first launch of the next hundredfold coin, providing wealth effects.
In the future, it will become: who can access more types of real assets, such as Japanese, American, and Korean stocks, gold, silver, precious metals, various indices, and commodities.
Which platform can first enable users to develop the mindset: this platform can trade everything?

About the potential of U.S. stocks & popular targets.
Chatted with a few friends who invest in U.S. stocks and found that almost everyone’s favored directions are concentrated in these six sectors.
First, let's put the list upfront.
1⃣ AI computing infrastructure (optical communication / optical modules)
Data centers are upgrading from 400G to 1.6T, increasing speed by 4 times, and the demand for optical modules will at least quadruple to quintuple within 3-5 years.
Last week

$9.3 ETC, are you going to buy the dip?

Whale large inflows account for 53%, once surged to 9.61, RSI instantly soared to 87——then hammered back to 9.35 within 7 hours, MACD histogram turned negative directly. The fifth halving countdown is 2-5 months away, Olympia upgrade claims to be the “most significant rescue in ETC history,” but miner selling pressure, ecological desertification, and the shaky market remain.

First look at the surface: rebounded from an 8.88 double bottom, with moderate volume.

In the past 30 days, up 13%, 14 days up 12%, 7 days slight increase of 0.8%, market cap $1.47 billion, 24-hour volume $61 million. The candlestick chart shows: support at 9.20 held, the double bottom pattern has already broken through, and the short-term rebound channel is still intact.

The first thing: fifth halving + Olympia upgrade, ETC is changing its underlying logic.

ETC reduces 20% every 5 million blocks, and this is the fifth time from July to October this year. Historically, each halving has caused significant supply-demand tightening effects——in January, expectations alone pushed it to $17, now at 9.38, nearly halved.

More importantly, the Olympia upgrade (hard fork at year-end): introduces EIP-1559 mechanism, with 20% of base fees burned, 80% sent to the DAO treasury to fund development.

The second thing: whales are already accumulating.

Large inflows account for 53%, once pushing the price to 9.61——this is genuine buying. But note, RSI suddenly shot to 87 (extreme overbought), then dropped back to 57 within 7 hours, MACD histogram turned negative.

The third thing: fundamental flaws remain unresolved.

ETC ecosystem adoption rate is far below ETH/SOL, DeFi TVL can be ignored, developer activity is average. Market cap ranks around 50th, considered “old but not mainstream.”

One side says:

- Fifth halving countdown, historical pattern “halving must lead to price increase”

- Olympia upgrade introduces burn + DAO treasury, solving long-term pain points

- Double bottom breakout + support effective, technicals are recovering

- Whale large inflows, smart money is already positioning

The other side says:

- RSI shot to 87 then plummeted, overbought correction not finished

- Miner halving sell pressure “clear risk”

- Ecological desertification, besides “classic PoW,” no new stories

- Market shaky, if BTC drops ETC will fall even harder

Key level at 9.35, only 0.15 away from the double bottom neckline at 9.20.

Resistance above: 9.65-10.00 → 12-15 (mid-term target after halving + upgrade realization)

Support below: 9.20 → 8.88 (double bottom strong support) → 8.00 (break below, game over)

Short-term traders:

Wait for a pullback to 9.00-9.20 before entering, stop loss at 8.82 (exit if broken), first target 9.65-10.00, take half profits at that point.

Swing traders:

Wait for daily volume to stabilize above 10.00 before entering, target 12-15, stop loss at 9.20. The real upward wave from halving is not in the “expectation” phase but in the “landing” phase.

Long-term believers:

DCA below current price in batches, no more than 20% of total funds. If Olympia upgrade proceeds smoothly, ETC’s valuation logic will shift from “dead coin” to “deflationary PoW asset,” with 12-15 dollars as a conservative estimate.

ETC now is like LTC in 2023——

No one believed before halving, it doubled after halving. But you have to endure miner selling, community FUD, and market retracements threefold. #Gate广场五月交易分享 #CLARITY法案参议院通关 $BTC $ETH $ETC

Alts look like they wanna explode from here.
Only a matter of when, not if.

$BTC failed to reclaim the $82,000 level again.
It seems like the next downtrend could start soon.

Latest presidential financial statement:

0.115 USD DOGE, do you dare to buy?

Whale wallets hoarded 108.5 billion coins, spot ETF weekly inflow of 5.5 million, Belarus just approved it into the banking system—yet just now, RSI shot from overbought 72 straight down to 46, buying momentum halved within 7 hours. Elon Musk hasn't tweeted in a month, X Payments still hasn't officially announced?

First look at the surface: news is everywhere, but the price just won't surge.

Did it rise in the past 7 days? Not really. Support at 0.109 bounced to 0.118, then hammered back to 0.1149. Market cap at 17.7 billion remains in the top ten, 24-hour trading volume at 2.6 billion, volume increasing but price stagnating. The candlestick chart shows: 200-day EMA pressing at 0.126, like a ceiling welded shut. MACD histogram narrows, RSI neutral leaning cold—either break through or go home.

First thing: institutions and whales are really entering with real money.

Belarus approved DOGE for regulated banking services. Weekly spot ETF inflow of 5.5 million, though modest, has been positive for three consecutive weeks. On-chain large wallet holdings total 108.5 billion DOGE, about 11.6 billion USD, with a surge in large transfers daily.

Second thing: fundamentals are quietly gaining strength.

DOGE used to have only one bottom line: community. Now it's different—zero-knowledge proofs and Layer 2 integration plans are under discussion. Once implemented, DOGE will no longer be just a transfer coin; it can have privacy and smart contracts.

Plus, SpaceX's DOGE-1 lunar mission officially launched this year, X Payments beta testing is live, just waiting for the official announcement of DOGE payment integration.

Third thing: technical signals are giving you insomnia.

3-day chart shows TD Sequential 9 sell signal—this is a very accurate reversal indicator. Last time it appeared, DOGE retraced 20%. RSI dropped from 72 to 46, MACD histogram just turned negative.

One side:

- Whales hoarding 108.5 billion coins, record high

- ETF weekly inflow accelerating, institutions gradually allocating

- Belarus approval, regulatory easing against the trend

- ZK+L2 upgrade narrative, from meme to functional coin

Other side:

- RSI halved, buying momentum exhausted

- 200-day EMA pressing at 0.126, three failed attempts to break through

- Elon Musk hasn't mentioned DOGE in a month (except that government efficiency meme)

- 5B new coins added annually, inflation at 3.2%, like a small water pipe leaking continuously

Key level at 0.115, just one cent away from the ceiling at 0.126.

Resistance above: 0.12 → 0.126 (200-day EMA, critical line) → 0.135-0.15

Support below: 0.109 → 0.10 (psychological level) → 0.095 (final line of defense)

Short-term traders:

Wait for a pullback to 0.109-0.11 to buy in, stop-loss at 0.105, first target to take half at 0.126. After volume breaks through 0.126, chase longs, stop-loss at 0.12, aiming for 0.15-0.18.

Swing traders:

Wait for daily close above 0.126 before entering, use dynamic take-profit to hold, target 0.18-0.22.

Die-hard DOGE believers:

DCA below 0.11 in batches, target 0.20-0.35, betting on X Payments official announcement + DOGE-1 launch + ETF continuous inflow. If Elon Musk really tweets a dog head one day, don’t be greedy—reduce holdings by 30-50%.

DOGE now is like DOGE in early 2021—

99% of people thought “meme coins have no future,” but in three months, it went from 0.007 to 0.73.

1.35 USD DOT, do you dare to buy the dip?

Whales just dumped chips at 1.41 to chase higher, RSI dropped straight from 91.5 to 43, buying momentum evaporated within 7 hours. The new economic model cut 53% of inflation, but hackers stole 1.1 billion fake coins.

First look at the surface: bottom oscillation, dead silence.

In the past 24 hours, it rose 1.58%, but over 30 days it’s still falling, nearly 40% down in a year. Market cap is 2.27 billion, ranked 35, once a top ten aristocrat now fallen to mid-cap stocks. 24-hour trading volume is 189 million, with only 8% volume ratio. The candlestick chart shows: a double bottom confirmed around 1.33, but above 1.38 is like a wall, hit three times without breaking through.

First thing: the new economic model cut issuance by 53%, DOT changed from an “inflation perpetual motion machine” to a “deflationary scarce asset.”

The proposal passed by OpenGov on March 14 has been implemented, with annual inflation rate cut from over 6% to about 3%, with a hard cap of 5.6M coins. Previously, staking DOT meant being diluted like water every year; now it’s a scarce asset, and staking volume hit a 3-month high yesterday—560,000 DOT actively locked in.

Second thing: hackers stole 1.1 billion fake DOT, trust shattered.

In mid-April, the Hyperbridge bridge was hacked, and attackers minted fake DOT worth $1.1 billion out of thin air. Although only about $250k was actually stolen in the end, such an incident causes trust to peel away from the ecosystem. The price dropped over 6% that day and has not fully recovered yet.

Third thing: a subtle technical signal appeared.

Just yesterday, DOT surged to 1.41, RSI soared to a terrifying 91.5—extreme overbought. Then within 7 hours, RSI plummeted to 43, buying momentum halved, accompanied by a $445k USDT outflow.

Looking at the larger cycle: the daily chart has broken the downtrend channel, double bottom confirmed around 1.33. When volume expands at low levels, it’s often accumulation, not distribution.

One side is:

- The new economic model cut 53% inflation, cap at 2.1 billion, shifting from infinite dilution to deflation

- Staking volume hit a 3-month high, investor confidence returning

- The strongest technical foundation across the entire chain, top decentralization

- Daily chart broke the downtrend, double bottom confirmed

One side is:

- Hacker incident damaged ecosystem trust, TVL continues to decline

- Yesterday at 1.41 high RSI 91.5, then funds outflow, chasing high got buried

- 24-hour volume under 200 million, liquidity exhausted

- Price only up 20% from historical lows, market doesn’t recognize it

Key level: 1.33, the last bottom line for bulls and bears.

Resistance above: 1.38-1.44 (three failed attempts) → 1.64 (mid-term major resistance)

Support below: 1.31-1.33 → 1.26 (strong support) → 1.13 (historical bottom)

Short-term traders:

Wait for a pullback to 1.31-1.33 to buy, stop-loss at 1.308 (sell if broken), first target 1.40-1.44. If volume breaks above 1.38, can chase, stop-loss at 1.36, watch for 1.50-1.64.

Swing traders:

Build positions gradually in the 1.26-1.33 range, keep cost below 1.30, target 1.64-2.0. Also keep staking to enjoy both deflation and staking yields.

Long-term believers:

If you believe Polkadot is the underlying “Web3 operating system,” 1.0-1.3 USD is your strategic core position. Target 3-5 USD, betting on ecosystem recovery and interoperability explosion.

DOT now is like SOL in 2023—

Everyone criticizes it: “Great tech but no ecosystem,” yet SOL rose from $8 to $200.
