$11 LAB: Are You Bottom-Fishing, or Catching a Falling Knife?

Thirty days ago it was $27, and today it has fallen to $11. On July 14, 313 zero-cost investors are about to unlock—when you rush in now, are you catching the diamond-bottom, or are you helping the market maker by catching the last baton?

First thing: 313 zero-cost players are counting down

Blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps has exposed a piece of data:

There are 313 presale investors, who put in a total of $1.428 million.

How much are these tokens worth today? $977 million.

$1.42 million turning into $977 million—that’s up 684x.

Most importantly: on July 14, they unlock.

Their cost is approaching zero.

Every $1 they sell for is pure profit for them.

Tell me—will they sell or not?

Second thing: 95% of the chips are in insiders’ hands

On-chain sleuth ZachXBT published a long post back in May—insiders control more than 95% of LAB tokens.

Even more outrageous: CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, and RootData all report different circulating supplies. To date, the official team has not published a clear token allocation breakdown.

And there’s another thing: DeFi protocol PiggyBank executed a basis trade with LAB, but the result was market manipulation—hedging failed, and the USDC treasury directly suffered a 15% drawdown.

Even professional institutions got carved up trading LAB. Do you think you can be smarter than institutions?

Bull vs. bear—you decide for yourself:

On one side (bulls spin a story):

The product is real: the mobile app is live, and the trading rewards season is underway.

The buyback plan buys every month—already 22 million tokens have been repurchased.

On rebounds, volume expands; on pullbacks, volume contracts—this is a typical institutional accumulation structure.

RSI drops to 27.38, deeply oversold—historically, positions like this have a very high probability of rebounding.

Funding rate is -0.2773%—shorts are paying to hold. Once a rebound happens, a short squeeze can push the price to the sky.

On the other side (bears tell the truth):

On July 14, 313 zero-cost investors unlock.

95% of the supply is in the hands of insiders.

FDV is severely inflated; circulating supply is only 31%.

ZachXBT warns of “retail slaughter.”

The PiggyBank manipulation incident has already blown up.

BTC is barely hanging around near $60K—high-beta coins could catch up and drop again at any moment.

Key levels

Resistance above: 13 → 14.9 → 16.5 → 17 → 20.2

Support below: 11 → 10.5 → 8.7

Current price: 11.22. Up to 17 is a 51% move; down to 8.7 is a 22% drop.

It looks like the odds are decent, but don’t forget—the unlock bomb hasn’t gone off yet.

For those already holding:

If it rebounds to 13–14.5, sell in batches—at least 50%. For the rest, place a stop-loss at 10.5 and let the profits run.

For those who are on the sidelines and want to bottom-fish:

Wait for a pullback to 11–11.5. After you see 1-hour timeframe selling pressure easing with a volume burst and confirmation that price stops falling, enter with a light position.

Keep the stop-loss strictly at 10.5. First target: take profit at 13—sell half, then reassess if it breaks above.

For those looking to short:

Around 13–14.5, if it can’t climb with shrinking volume, short with a light position. Targets: 11 → 10.5 → 8.7. Place the stop-loss above 15. Shorting before the unlock is more comfortable than going long.

Position control:

Per trade, do not exceed 2–3% of total capital.

This thing can drop 20% in a day—and then drop another 20%.

Going all-in is an illness—you need to treat it.

Can you bottom-fish LAB now?

What you see is the “golden pit” falling from 27 to 11.

What the market maker sees is “684x profit” from 0 to 11.

LAB isn’t without a future—if its trading volume keeps growing and the buyback execution stays solid, then yes, it really has a chance long-term.

But the current script is:

313 zero-cost players are about to unlock + 95% of the supply is controlled + manipulation controversy + the broader market is weak.

Not every crash is called a “golden pit.”
