$8.5 LAB, are you going to buy the dip?

First look at the surface: fallen from the altar, but not dead yet.

In early June, it surged to an all-time high of $28, with a market cap once reaching 6 billion, multiplying several times in a week. Now at $8.5, down 55% in 7 days, but up 50% in a month. The candlestick chart shows: parabolic surge followed by sharp decline, volume expanded, support at 6.45-6.8, resistance at 8.3-10.

First thing: insiders control 95%, you got liquidated.

ZachXBT investigation revealed: over 95% of LAB supply is controlled by insiders, coordinating pump-and-dump through OTC, private placements, and market makers, ultimately letting retail investors take the hit.

Low circulation + high FDV + insider control = another 50% drop possible at any time.

Second thing: the story of the trading terminal is real.

LAB’s core is an aggregation of DEX liquidity + AI research engine + perpetual contracts, aiming to build a “one-stop trading platform.” There’s real demand in this track, referencing back to 1inch, Raydium.

Total supply is 1 billion, circulating only 310 million (31%), FDV 7.7 billion, market cap 2.3 billion. If the product really launches, this valuation isn’t unreasonable.

The problem is: trust has already shattered, needs time to rebuild.

Third thing: a classic “buying spree” signal appears on the technicals.

Fallen from 28 to 6.5, a 77% drop, with strong support at 6.45-6.8. Today, rebounded to 8.5, volume increased — someone is buying here.

RSI approaching oversold but no divergence, MACD histogram narrowing in negative territory, Bollinger Bands tightening then turning downward — a trend reversal is imminent, but direction is unclear.

Bull-bear duel, you decide.

One side says:

Fallen from 28 to 6.5, a 77% drop, risk part released

Strong support at 6.45-6.8, volume rebound

The trading terminal concept has real demand, the track is OK

FDV 7.7 billion, if the product launches, there’s room

The other side says:

ZachXBT accuses insiders of controlling 95% supply, trust collapses

Circulating only 31%, huge unlocking pressure

No major updates from the project team, community FUD spreading

Market BTC unstable, macro weak

Low circulation = easy manipulation, another 50% drop not surprising

Key level at 8.5, just 2 dollars away from support at 6.5.

Resistance above: 10 → 12 → 15 (breakthrough needed for reversal)

Support below: 6.5-6.8 → 5-6

Short-term players:

Mostly wait-and-see. Aggressive traders try small longs at 6.5-7.0, stop-loss at 6.3, target 8.5-10. Rebound to 8.3-9, try small shorts, stop-loss at 9.5, target 6.5-7. No more than 3-5% position, avoid heavy positions in high volatility.

Swing traders:

Wait until daily closes above 10 before considering entering, otherwise treat all rebounds as just rebounds. Don’t buy the dip if it falls below 6.5.

Long-term believers:

If you truly believe in this project, wait for two signals: ① project team releases real trading volume + revenue data; ② on-chain large unlock plans are transparent. Otherwise, don’t believe.

LAB now is like WIF in 2024—

No one believed before the pump, everyone blamed the whales after the crash, then it washed out for months and rose 5 times again.

Every insider control accusation is the main force helping to shake out retail investors.

Every position you’re afraid to buy might be the next breakout point? Not necessarily. It could also be the start of zeroing out. #我的Gate交易时刻 #美国5月CPI创三年新高 #预测世界杯墨西哥VS南非 $BTC $ETH $LAB
