Old friends, today’s performance of $HYPE reminded me of the "bottoming" phase of those old coins last year.

The price at $41.02 dropped 1.21%, which seems insignificant, but this sideways slight decline actually tests human nature the most.
The intraday high was $41.79, the low was $40.82, and it’s this 2.38% fluctuation that makes people neither dare to chase nor dare to sell, a typical "struggling period."
The trading volume of 152 million USDT is quite decent, indicating there are still players in the game, not at the point of "dead fish eyes."
I remember at the end of the last bull market, many coins behaved like this—initially big swings, then gradually turning into small oscillations as funds started to watch.
What’s most interesting is the Fear and Greed Index at 47, right in the middle, plus BTC’s funding rate is also -0.0014%, making the whole market look like a sleepy person, lazily unsure which way to go.
Honestly, this is the hardest time to endure. Not rising, not falling, just wasting away.
Old hands’ experience tells me that during this phase, it’s either about accumulating strength for the next wave or slowly losing momentum.
The key is whether we can break through the $42 key level in the next few days.
Anyway, I’ve seen enough—eat, drink, and let the bullets fly a little longer.
