Would you dare to bottom-fish the LAB at $0.25?



First, look at the surface: from $27 to $0.25—a drop of more than 99%.

Early June it was still at the historical high of $27. 7 days ago it was still $17. Today it’s down to $0.25. The market cap has evaporated from tens of millions of dollars to $86 million. In the last 24 hours, $185 million in trading volume—more than the market cap itself—liquidity is extremely abnormal, and panic sellers are fleeing like crazy.

First thing: ZachXBT has solid proof—the team is dumping.

In April 2026, the LAB team transferred more than 196 million LAB to a related entity.

On July 10–11, the entity deposited 18.4 million LAB into Aster DEX (about $18.3 million) and kept selling nonstop.

It directly smashed the price from $1.2 to $0.55, a 54% drop in one day.

The entity still has 81.5 million LAB left, meaning it can keep dumping anytime.

The team responded: “It was caused by an external large seller.” Do you believe it?

Second thing: the unlock bomb has just been triggered.

On July 14—today—16.23 million LAB investor unlocks become effective.

This is only the beginning. From August to December 2026, another 16.23 million LAB will unlock every month. Even more terrifying: 70.8% of the project’s token supply is marked as “Untracked,” meaning it’s not disclosed, not transparent, and you don’t know when it might get dumped.

Early private sale cost was only $0.025. Even if the price drops to $0.25 now, they still have 10x profit. Do you think they’ll hold?

Third thing: the technicals are already ruined.

RSI is 36.6—slightly oversold, but nowhere near a reversal level. MACD and OBV remain bearish.

Key levels:

Support: $0.20 (recent low) → $0.15 → $0.07

Resistance: $0.30–$0.35 → $0.45–$0.50 (prior support turning to resistance)

Trading volume is wildly inflated, suggesting someone is selling and someone is buying— but who is buying? Retail bottom-fishers, or the project team executing wash trades to manufacture a rebound illusion?

A duel between bulls and bears—judge for yourself.

On one side (the very few optimistic factors):

The project product does exist (multi-chain trading app, AI strategy engine)

On July 9, the team burned 10 million tokens trying to stabilize the price

After being oversold, a technical rebound is possible

On the other side (overwhelming objective facts):

ZachXBT’s proof the team’s associated wallets are dumping; they still have 81.5 million LAB waiting to be sold

70.8% of token supply is “Untracked,” with zero transparency

16.23 million unlocks every month through December—continuous supply pressure

Early investors’ cost is $0.025, and at the current price they still have 10x profit

Over 95% of the chips are in the hands of insiders/early private investors—retail has no say in pricing

Team trust has completely collapsed, and the community is split

The key question: can this still be saved?

Honestly—there may be a short-term oversold rebound, but a mid-term reversal is almost impossible.

To get back above $1, you’d need all of the following at the same time:

All remaining large holdings are fully dumped

The project publicly discloses all holdings and restricts team unlocks

Massive ecosystem rollout + institutional capital entering

None of the three conditions are currently met. The whales still have 81.5 million LAB left to be sold, and unlocks continue through July—every rebound round is an exit opportunity.

If you’re trading for a short-term rebound:

Wait for a retest around $0.20, try a small long position—your stop-loss must be set below $0.18. Target: $0.30–$0.35. Only use money you can afford to lose, and be prepared for a total wipeout. If you rush in now to bottom-fish, there’s a 90% chance you’ll be the bagholder.

For swing/medium-term:

Don’t touch it. Wait for the unlock sell-pressure to land + price to stabilize + trading volume to dry up. Until the team trust issue is resolved, any rebound is a trap for long positions.

For long-term believers:

Unless you’re extremely bullish on the project and can tolerate a total loss, significantly reduce or fully exit. The 70.8% “Untracked” supply is like the Sword of Damocles— it could drop at any moment.

Risk iron law:

Keep loss on any single trade within 1% of total capital

Always set a stop-loss—never “hold and pray”

In high-volatility periods reduce position size; prioritize BTC/ETH

Watch for: ZachXBT’s further updates, the team’s official statements, and the actual unlock sell-pressure

Not every crash is an opportunity—some crashes are the project telling you: run.
