Are you still betting on LAB at $0.16?

First, look at the surface: it looks like it’s stabilizing, but it’s actually grinding lower.

Over the weekend it churned in the $0.144–$0.161 range; the daily chart is only up slightly 4–6%, and volume has shrunk to 18 million. Market cap has fallen to $49 million; versus its ATH of 27, it’s down 99.4%. RSI is neutral, and the moving averages are suppressing price. Either it breaks out on volume above $0.17, or it keeps grinding lower to test the lows—most likely the latter.

First thing: unlocking is the biggest enemy.

ZachXBT’s accusations are old news already. The team dumped, sold OTC, and 95% of the circulating supply was controlled—these things have been digested by the market over the past month, and the price went from 27 to 0.16: the ones who should have left already left, the ones who should have been trapped got trapped. But unlocks won’t stop.

1.87 million tokens hit the market every day, continuing until 2028. This isn’t a one-time negative catalyst—it’s perpetual sell pressure. If you hold for a day, 1.87 million new chips are looking for someone to take the other side.

Even worse: on August 14, there’s a cliff unlock of hundreds of millions of tokens.

Second thing: the product is real, but nobody uses it.

LAB’s trading terminal can indeed be used—cross BSC/Solana/ETH, an AI engine, and a unified interface. The platform’s daily trading volume is $600,000–$1M, which is fine for ordinary projects, but for a coin with a market cap of $49 million and still a FDV in the hundreds of millions, this revenue can’t even cover the unlocks’ crumbs.

Buyback and burn? It’s been done—at a level of 1% of supply, about 10 million tokens. But with 1.87 million unlocked every day, it offsets a burn within 10 days.

Third thing: the technicals show a “sticky” signal.

For three days over the weekend it churned in the $0.14–$0.16 range—no breakout on big volume, no upward break. This kind of “stickiness” after a sharp dump usually means:

Bulls don’t dare enter (afraid of the August unlock)

Bears temporarily stop (waiting for a better price)

The market is waiting for a direction—most likely downward

Key levels:

Resistance: $0.165–$0.17 → $0.18–$0.20 → $0.25

Support: $0.145–$0.15 → $0.14 → $0.12–$0.13 → $0.07–$0.10

Bull-bear showdown—you decide.

On one side:

Down 99.4% already—technically oversold

Product is real and usable; the team is still updating

Staking launch increases token utility

If the broader market runs hot, it could rally with it

On the other side:

1.87 million tokens unlocked every day—persistent sell pressure

August 14 cliff unlock of hundreds of millions of tokens

Trust collapses; community splits

After a 99.4% drop, can it drop another 99%?

For short-term gamblers:

Try a light long at $0.145–$0.15, stop loss at $0.138, target $0.165–$0.18. If $0.17 breaks out on volume, you can chase a bit to look for $0.20.

For bear-side players:

If a rebound to $0.165–$0.18 meets resistance, short lightly; stop loss at $0.185, target $0.145–$0.14. Before August 14, the bear logic is more coherent.

Spot DCA:

If you absolutely have to gamble, consider only below $0.10; above $0.14 it’s all trapped longs. Remember: unlocks don’t end, so there is no “bottom.”

Risk-control iron rules (say them three times):

No single coin more than 2% of total capital

Leverage no more than 3–5x

Cut down or exit before August 14 to observe

Monitor ZachXBT’s on-chain updates, team wallets, and the unlock calendar

LAB right now is basically 2023’s FTT—

Down 99% from ATH, everyone thinks “it’s over.” Then it bounces, and afterward it gets chopped in half again. Some people die in the crash; more die on the road to “catching the bottom.”

At $0.16, this isn’t the bottom—it’s mid-mountain.

You think you’re catching a bottom, but you’re actually providing liquidity to the whales. #直通IPO第二期JerseyMikes #夏日创作营 #Gate事件合约首发狂欢 $BTC $ETH $LAB
