Most people are looking at the green candles, but have you seen what’s happening at the wick?
$ALGO ‌ is putting us in a tough spot here. We hit that local top at $0.1371 and now we’re seeing a bit of a pullback toward $0.1236. It looks like a healthy correction, but the sellers are currently winning the battle in the order book.
The key is if we can hold this $0.11 zone as support. If we bounce there, the structure stays bullish. But if we lose it, we might be headed back down to fill those lower gaps.
Volume is looking a bit thin on this drop. I’m sitting on my hands until I see a clear reversal sign. What’s your play on this move?

#GateSquareMayTradingShare #BitcoinVolatility

Wait, did we just witness a fakeout or is $XRP ‌ actually ready to run?
Looking at the 1D chart, we’ve been chopping around this $1.47 level for a minute. We saw that rejection near $1.51 earlier, but the bulls are showing some serious grit by holding this current range.
The order book is leaning heavily toward the buy side at 58% right now, which is interesting. If we can flip $1.51 into support with some real volume, things could get spicy fast. If not, I'm watching that $1.36 zone for a potential reload.
Staying patient for the confirmed breakout. Are you guys long here or waiting for a dip?

#GateSquareMayTradingShare #BitcoinVolatility

Lately I've been feeling a bit emotional.
In the past two years, I've basically been out of the market in the crypto space.
I earned interest from investments and also made some bandwagon profits, with no overall drawdowns, and my assets have gradually increased.
From a risk control perspective, this choice was correct.
But from a capital efficiency standpoint, I did waste two years.
When I say waste, I don't mean I gained nothing during these two years, but looking back, the opportunity cost was very high.

$96 SOL, do you want to chase?

Whales and institutions bought aggressively for a week, ETF net inflow of $33 million in a single week, Alpenglow upgrade expectations ignite sentiment——but just now, the contract and spot trading volume ratio reached 14.5:1, RSI plummeted from 88.9 to 50.8, buying momentum was cut in half within 7 days.

First look at the surface: volume and price are rising together, a breakout is imminent.

In the past 24 hours, up 1.94%, touching a high of $96.8 during the day, with a trading volume of $5.29 billion. Over the past 10 days, it quickly rose from $88 to $95, successfully forming a bottom. The candlestick chart shows: the downtrend has been broken, MACD bars are expanding, the 50/100/200-day moving averages are all tilted upward: $100, just a push away.

The first thing: institutions + ETFs, real money is buying.

Bitwise Solana ETF net inflow this week is $33 million, institutional products have inflowed $56.6 million over the past month. Circle just issued $2.5 billion USDC on Solana, Anchorage + J.P. Morgan jointly launched tokenization tools. Visa and Google Cloud have integrated with Solana.

The signal of funds shifting from BTC/ETH to high-beta altcoins is very clear now.

The second thing: Alpenglow upgrade, making Solana faster.

Landing in Q3 2026, millisecond finality—150 milliseconds to confirm transactions. Current Solana is already fast enough; after the upgrade, DeFi, payments, and meme ecosystems will take off directly.

The third thing: a dangerous technical signal has appeared.

Contract and spot trading volume ratio reaches 14.5:1. Leverage is too high. This indicates extreme market speculation, a small correction could trigger a chain of liquidations.

RSI dropped directly from 88.9 to 50.8, buying momentum was halved within 7 days. MACD negative bars are still expanding, short-term consolidation may be needed.

One side:

- ETF funds continue to flow in, institutions accelerating entry

- Alpenglow upgrade expectations, all positive windows before Q3

- Daily chart breaks out of the downtrend channel, stabilizes above $95

- Active addresses 32.7 million, real usage volume surpasses most L1s

The other side:

- Contract leverage reaches 14.5x, huge liquidation risk

- RSI halved, momentum clearly slowing

- Psychological barrier at $98–$100, three failures to break through

- If BTC retraces to $75k, SOL will follow down 10-15%

Key level: $95, only 5 points away from $100.

Resistance above: $98 → $100 (psychological level) → $110-120

Support below: $92–$90 (trading dense zone) → $87 (bottoming point)

Short-term traders:

Wait for a pullback to $92–$93 before entering, stop-loss at $90.5 (exit if it drops below), first target to take half at $98–$100. After breaking $100 and stabilizing, chase longs, stop-loss at $96, aiming for $110–$120.

Swing traders:

Wait for the daily close above $100 before entering, use dynamic take-profit to hold, target $110–$120, avoid being shaken out. Holding before Alpenglow lands is the window.

Long-term believers:

Buy in batches below $90 with eyes closed. Solana’s fundamentals, institutional recognition, and active addresses are at all-time highs. End of 2026 target $150–$200, betting on Solana becoming the “Crypto Nasdaq.” Leverage no more than 3x; liquidation here is worse than missing out.

SOL now is like ETH at the end of 2023—

99% of people think “it’s too expensive,” but it only took half a year for it to go from $20 to $200.

On the day it breaks $100, you’ll realize: it’s not Solana that’s not good enough, it’s you who always falls before dawn. #Gate广场五月交易分享 $BTC $ETH $SOL

$80,800 Bitcoin, do you want to buy?

Institutions have been buying up $3.4 billion over 6 weeks, ETF holdings exceed 750k coins, the Swiss National Bank secretly jumped on board, and White House regulatory positive signals are imminent—yet just now, RSI dropped from 88 to 53, buying momentum was cut in half. Do you think the bull market is back, while the whales are drawing a box at $80K waiting for you to chase higher?

First look at the surface: institutions are holding strong, momentum is like a rainbow.

In the past 6 weeks, spot ETF net inflows exceeded $3.4 billion, with $620 million in a single week last week. BlackRock’s iBIT alone took 70%. Price rose from $74K to $82K, market cap back to $1.6 trillion, 24-hour trading volume at $35 billion. The candlestick chart shows: the downtrend has been broken through, $80K has shifted from a ceiling to a floor, MACD bars narrowed but still above zero: the bears are dead, time to return quickly.

First thing: ETF funds are exploding.

US stock spot ETFs have seen net inflows for 6 consecutive weeks, approaching $1 billion in a single day this month. Total holdings exceed 750k BTC, accounting for 3.7% of circulating supply. Plus corporate treasuries like MicroStrategy, coins in the market are visibly decreasing. Institutions are buying with real money.

Second thing: the national team has quietly entered.

The Swiss National Bank bought $10 million worth of MicroStrategy stock, a “backdoor” way to hold BTC. Czech Republic and Luxembourg are also directly or indirectly involved. VanEck directly claims “BTC will reach $1 million in 5 years.” White House advisors hint that the CLARITY Act may be pushed forward in May, regulatory positive signals are coming true.

Third thing: a calm signal appears on the technical side.

In recent days, RSI dropped from 88.5 directly to 53. 88 is overbought, the FOMO peak; 53 is cooling off, indicating buying exhaustion. Price didn’t fall much, but momentum clearly slowed down. MACD bars narrowed, volume shrank back—this is healthy consolidation, or are the big players quietly distributing at $82K?

On one side:

- ETF 6-week net inflow of $3.4 billion, institutions are frantic

- The national team and corporate treasuries continue to increase holdings

- Technical breakout of the downtrend, $80K becomes new support

- The 12-18 month halving cycle still holds the main upward wave window

On the other side:

- RSI cut in half from 88 to 53, short-term buying cools

- CPI expectation at 3.4%, possible rate hikes, macro headwinds

- Price oscillates in the $80K-$82K range, unable to break $83.5K

- Retail traders are repeatedly hesitating at $80K, wondering whether to chase

Key level: $80,800, just under $83.5k resistance (Fibonacci 0.618).

Upper resistance: $83.5k → $85,000 → $90k-$100k

Lower support: $80k-$78,500 (bullish support zone) → $76,800 (previous breakout level)

Short-term traders:

Wait for a pullback to $80k-$78,500 to buy in batches, stop-loss at $77,800, first target to take half profits at $83.5k-$85,000. After volume breaks above $83.5K, add positions and chase higher, aiming for $90K-$100K.

Swing traders:

Wait for the daily close above $83,500 before entering, use dynamic stop-profit to hold, target $90K-$100K. Before a breakout, buy low at $80K-$82K, sell high, but don’t lose your core holdings.

Long-term believers:

DCA below $80K without hesitation. Target $100K-$126K+ by end of 2026, betting on institutional allocation wave + regulatory landing. If two consecutive days close below $78K with volume, exit and observe, don’t fight the trend.

Bitcoin now is like gold in 2020—

You think it’s gone up too much, but then central banks start rushing to buy.

$80K is not the top; it’s the first station for institutions to get on board. The bears are dead, bulls are gathering strength. Those brave enough to buy on dips are the real smart ones. #BTC重返8万 $BTC $ETH

$BTC is climbing into the 82.5K resistance region and pressure is building at this level.
If buyers stay in control, a move toward 83K looks increasingly possible.

$562 ZEC, do you want to buy?

Whales and institutions just swept the market a week ago, Robinhood launched and triggered retail FOMO, the privacy pool's share broke through 30% to a new all-time high, surging 38% in 7 days— but today, ZEC dropped 5% from its high, MACD turned downward. Is this a shakeout in the main upward wave, or is the big player distributing at the high under the banner of "privacy narrative"?

First, look at the surface: explosive rally, momentum like a rainbow.

Up 38% in the past 7 days, over 120% in 30 days, market cap hit $9.3 billion, once surpassing Cardano into the top 11. 24-hour trading volume hit $900 million, liquidity exploded. The candlestick chart shows: violently breaking through 600 from over 300, weekly big bullish candle + huge volume, shorts squeezed out $62 million.

First thing: Robinhood + Multicoin, institutions and retail investors are rushing in together.

Robinhood launched ZEC, retail access fully opened, retail FOMO ignited directly. Multicoin Capital started building positions in February, publicly endorsing, backing institutions. Meanwhile, California proposed a wealth tax, the rich are starting to seek privacy hedges.

Second thing: 30% of ZEC entered the privacy pool, real adoption is exploding.

Over 5 million ZEC entered fully shielded z-addresses, jumping from 8% at the start of 2024 to over 30%. This isn’t traders locking up tokens; real users are using privacy transfers. ZODL received $25 million from Paradigm + a16z, quantum-resistant wallets launched in June, Shielded Assets will bring privacy DeFi to reality.

Third thing: a technical signal that must be watched carefully.

The weekly chart surged too fast, RSI hit 82 (extreme overbought), today’s 5% dip brought it back to the 550-570 range. MACD is turning negative, price is below the 7- and 25-period EMAs, net capital outflow is obvious.

One side is:

- 7-day +38%, market cap in top 15

- Robinhood launch + Multicoin heavy holdings

- Privacy pool adoption rate at a new high of 30%

- ZSA/DeFi roadmap clear, institutional mining pools entering

The other side is:

- Today down 5%, high-level volume stagnation

- MACD turning negative, downward momentum continues

- Regulatory headwinds: privacy coins may be delisted from some CEXs

- Massive profit-taking, potential for sudden drops

Key level: 550, the dividing line between bulls and bears.

Resistance above: 600 → 637 (recent high) → 640-700

Support below: 550-530 → 508-457 (Fibonacci retracement zones)

Short-term traders:

Wait for a pullback to 530-550 before entering, stop-loss at 520 (sell if broken), first target at 600, take half profits. After volume breaks through 600, chase longs, stop-loss at 570, watch for 640-700.

Swing traders:

Wait for daily candles to stabilize above 580 before entering, or place orders in batches at 550/530/500. Target 640-700, take profits gradually. Exit unconditionally if below 520, no holding through dips.

Long-term believers:

ZEC total supply is 21 million, halving mechanism like BTC, next halving at the end of 2028. Privacy is an eternal necessity, target 800-1200 by late 2026. But don’t hold heavy now, wait for a correction near 500 to build a base. Good narrative + good price = huge profits, good narrative + poor price = just standing guard.

ZEC now is like SOL in 2021—

No one believed before the explosion, but once it exploded, you couldn’t catch up. Those chasing high last time got stuck at 260, this time they might get stuck at 600. #Gate广场五月交易分享 $BTC $ETH $ZEC

Lately, I've been feeling a bit emotional.
In the past two years, I have been mostly out of the market.
I earned interest from investments and some swing trading profits, with no overall drawdowns, and my assets have gradually increased.
From a risk control perspective, this choice was correct.
But from a capital efficiency standpoint, I’ve indeed wasted two years.
When I say wasted, I don’t mean I gained nothing during these two years, but looking back, the opportunity cost was high.
I did make big money in the crypto space before, so subconsciously I always feel that the next big opportunity will still come from here.
Having achieved a leap in assets through a particular market, it’s not so easy to suddenly turn around completely.
There’s some path dependence involved.
I am more familiar with this market’s rhythm, narratives, crowd, and information flow, which makes me more likely to overestimate opportunities in familiar markets and underestimate those in unfamiliar markets.
But looking back, after 2024, if I can more decisively shift my funds to U.S. stocks, Japanese stocks, or even A-shares, especially in AI, technology, and semiconductors, the capital efficiency could be much higher.
Especially semiconductors, which I started to be optimistic about a few years ago.
If I hadn’t entered the crypto space back then, my original plan would have been to heavily allocate to semiconductors while reducing the proportion of Baijiu and pharmaceuticals.
In early A-share funds, Baijiu consumption even once accounted for more than half of my holdings.
But from the perspective of industry trends later on, the areas with real incremental growth, elasticity, and global pricing logic are clearly shifting toward AI, technology, and semiconductors.
Of course, from the perspective of ultimate returns, I definitely don’t regret entering the crypto space.
It truly gave me the most important asset acceleration in my life.
There’s nothing to deny about that.
But after 2024, being able to switch markets more quickly, with some assets starting at three times the initial investment, is not an exaggeration.
Of course, investing doesn’t have a true “what if” scenario.
Choosing to stay in crypto to observe was fundamentally based on past experience, cognitive radius, and risk preferences.
Now I realize more clearly:
The places that made you big money in the past aren’t necessarily the most efficient places in the future.
The hardest thing for a person isn’t seeing new opportunities, but detaching from old successes.
The biggest lesson of these two years isn’t missing a few targets, but a reminder to myself again:
Don’t let the places where you made big money in the past trap your judgment of the future.

$2.29 TON, do you still want it?

Whales just left, massive unlocks coming next week. A 116% surge a week ago, the whole network shouting “1 billion users coming,” now a 7% pullback to 2.29, RSI dropping straight to 27-37, MACD deep in negative territory. Telegram founder just announced control of 25% validation rights, community starts panicking “centralization.”

First look at the surface: after the surge, the correction hurts.

In the past 7 days, up 116%, 30 days up 75%, market cap hit $6.1 billion, ranking in the top 20. The candlestick chart shows: breaking out of the 1.3-1.8 USD four-month consolidation zone, volume surged to push to 2.49, now retracing to 2.29—looks like a normal technical correction, but RSI is already near oversold.

First thing: Telegram has welded TON onto itself.

May 6-10, Durov officially announced: Telegram becomes TON’s largest validator, staking 2.2 million TON, controlling about 25% validation rights. TON officially becomes the exclusive underlying blockchain for Mini Apps functionality, TON Connect becomes the only wallet protocol.

1 billion Telegram users will play with mini programs, payments, gaming—bottom layer all TON.

Market reaction: single-day surge of 36%, doubling in 7 days.

Second thing: the ecosystem is really landing.

After Catchain 2.0 upgrade, block time compressed to 400ms, approaching instant confirmation. Mini Apps experience went from laggy to native-level, costs nearly zero. TVL surged 61% to $94 million, protocols like STONfi are farming high APR.

USDT on TON, TON Pay 2.0, NFTs, storage—an ecosystem is forming.

TON doesn’t need to attract new traffic; users are just lying in Telegram.

Third thing: technical and capital signals flashing two red lights

First: RSI dropped from overbought to 27-37, which is oversold territory, but MACD is deeply negative, indicating ongoing bearish momentum.

Second: $86.77 million worth of tokens to unlock next week.*

On one side:

- Telegram’s exclusive binding, entrance to 1 billion users

- Catchain 2.0 performance outperforms, ecosystem TVL skyrocketing

- 116% increase in 7 days, trend has reversed

- Correction with decreasing volume, technically a healthy shakeout

On the other side:

- Over $86 million worth of tokens unlocking next week, explosive sell pressure

- RSI 27-37, MACD deep negative, short-term still weak

- Centralization concerns: Telegram dominates alone

- Whales outflow of $2.9 million in 4 hours, risk-off mode activated

Key support at 2.20-2.28, the last line of defense for bulls and bears.

Resistance above: 2.40-2.50 (recent high) → 3.0-3.5

Support below: 2.20-2.28 (former resistance now support) → 2.05 (stop-loss line)

Short-term traders:

Wait for the 2.20-2.28 range to buy in batches, stop-loss at 2.05 (run if broken), first target 2.50, second target 3.0.

Swing traders:

Wait until daily closes above 2.40 again, use 2.20 as defense, target 3.0-3.5. Before next week’s unlock news lands, don’t hold too heavy.

Long-term believers:

Start dollar-cost averaging below 2.20. Telegram narrative is the most scarce traffic story in 2026, expected to reach $4.5-6.5 by end of 2026.

TON now is like SOL in 2021—$TON $BTC

$BTC still looks strong overall, but this area is where things get interesting.

For me, path 2 makes the most sense right now. A pullback into the previous breakout zone around the mid-range would actually be healthy before continuation higher.

That kind of reset usually gives the market fresh momentum instead of forcing a breakout.

Path 1 for Bitcoin is still possible if bulls reclaim momentum quickly, but after such a strong move, I’d rather see consolidation than an overheated push.

As long as higher lows hold, the bigger trend still looks bullish.

In the next bull market, there are several tracks I am very optimistic about. One is stablecoin payments, and the other is prediction markets. Prediction markets essentially involve trading "cognition" and "information gaps." Understanding hot topics, sentiment, and probabilities is the key to making money. Recently, Gate also launched the Polymarket gameplay, and I think it's reassuring that the platform is actively involved.

1.27 USD SUI, do you dare to buy in?

A Nasdaq-listed company just pledged 108 million coins, CME futures launched, surging over 50% in 7 days to reach 1.41— but just now, RSI dropped straight from 94 back to normal, price retreated to 1.27, and on-chain net outflows began to appear at $2.8 million.

First look at the surface: volume and price soaring together, hype at an all-time high.

In the past 7 days, up over 50%, with another 10% surge in 24 hours, market cap remains among the top, 24-hour trading volume exploded to $2.8 billion. The candlestick chart shows: symmetrical triangle breakout upward, 1.00 changed from ceiling to floor, moving averages golden cross: bull return, quick recovery.

First thing: Nasdaq company directly locked 2.7% of circulating supply.

Sui Group Holdings withdrew 108.7 million SUI from DeFi protocols, transferring into long-term direct staking.

And CME futures are live, US spot ETFs are on the way. Institutional channels are fully open, traditional funds can now legally allocate.

Second thing: fundamentals are wildly playing out.

SUI is not just hype. TVL hit $643 million, up 8% in 24 hours, 7-day fee income surged 59%. NAVI, Suilend, Bluefin—three major protocols—locked over $100 million each. Stablecoin market cap is $570 million, DEX daily volume hits $286 million.

Plus two heavy punches: Mysten Labs plans to launch confidential transactions (Gasless private payments) this year, and the native stablecoin USDsui is also landing.

Third thing: a technical signal you must pay attention to has appeared.

RSI hit 94 last week—extreme overbought, the peak for retail chasing highs. Now it’s back to normal range, MACD histogram turning negative, short-term moving averages showing a slight death cross, and on-chain net outflows of $2.8 million have started.

On one side:

- Nasdaq company locking 2.7%, supply sharply reduced

- CME futures + ETF expectations, institutional channels open

- TVL at $640 million, all-time high ecosystem data

- Confidential transactions + native stablecoin about to land

On the other side:

- 7-day gain of 50%, RSI once hit 94

- Massive short-term profit-taking, on-chain net outflows begin

- 60% of total supply still locked by team and early investors, long-term dilution concerns

- Resistance zone at 1.40-1.50

Key level 1.27, bulls and bears are battling here.

Resistance above: 1.40-1.50 → 2.00 → historical high 5.35

Support below: 1.15-1.20 → 1.00 (strong floor)

Short-term traders:

Wait for a pullback to 1.15-1.20 before entering, stop-loss at 1.00 (if it drops below, exit), first target to cut half at 1.40-1.50. Break above 1.50 to add positions, aiming for 2.00.

Swing traders:

Wait until daily closes above 1.40 before buying in, use dynamic take-profit to hold, target 2.00-2.50. If a true correction near 1.00, add blindly.

Long-term believers:

DCA below 1.20. SUI’s fundamentals already outpace Aptos and other Move-based L1s, aiming for $3-5 by late 2026, betting on confidential transactions + stablecoin ecosystem + ETF landing.

SUI now is like SOL at the end of 2023—

99% of people think “another pump-and-dump L1,” but it rose from $1 to $10, and you’re still waiting for a pullback.

The day 1.40 breaks, you’ll realize: it’s not that SUI can’t do it, it’s your biases that haven’t updated. #Gate广场五月交易分享 #BTC重返8万 $BTC $ETH $SUI

Today I suddenly saw a screenshot from Professor Suo sent by a group friend that said:
"Don't say that the principal isn't enough to roll in the crypto circle, it's no wonder that the crypto market can't go up now because those with enough capital have all gone to the US stock market."
It makes sense, I suddenly realized there's a blind spot.
With this in mind, it's becoming increasingly impossible for large funds to come in and make big moves.
Everyone is fighting small to gain big, and if big money comes in, wouldn't they be targeted?
