Market conditions are probably about to enter another boring and sluggish period.
With the World Cup about to kick off, it also injects a bit of joy into the coming month, so it’s not so dull.
Does everyone follow the World Cup?
Although I’m not a football fan, I still watch these global events, especially this year’s hot prediction market.
Not placing a few bets makes me feel a bit itchy and restless.
Before I entered the crypto world, I was into football betting, but I lost badly back then.
That experience also left me with a valuable lesson for future crypto participation: don’t play with derivatives.
In a sense, trading derivatives with high leverage is essentially a gambling game of guessing price rises and falls.
I won’t say it’s absolute, but most gamblers’ outcomes are probably well known to everyone.
As for the World Cup, I now play it casually for fun,
and I also use AI tools to identify higher-probability betting opportunities, making watching the games more interesting.
Of course, winning some money for barbecue and beer would be even better.
Thinking back to past World Cups, the crypto space had many so-called World Cup-themed projects, but they all ended in failure.
It seems there are no such projects this year, but I still want to remind everyone once again.
Back to the market,
the overall trend is facing resistance, with Ethereum once again reaching the $1,600 mark.
Bitcoin has not broken below, but it’s only a few points away from the 60k level,
and the overall market trend is very poor.
There’s no way around it; currently, there are no hot topics in the crypto space.
Although exchanges are desperately trying to promote stocks, in the short term,
