There's been a lot happening lately, but
@CNPYNetwork's $8.5M raise stood out to me.
I'm always interested in projects focused on improving the building experience, and Canopy seems to be moving in that direction by simplifying appchain deployment while giving developers greater control.
The technology is promising.
Now it's about seeing real products and communities grow on top of it.

Only need active and consistent ones around.

TONGGE’s 8.2 ETH Playbook
$ETH Enter the range around 1880–1900, stop at 1920, first target 1840, second target 1820.
In the early hours, “Two Bing” briefly pulled back to 1820, then quickly rebounded, driven by the news catalyst following the Iran-U.S. talks and related updates.
Compared with BTC, Two Bing’s upside elasticity is still stronger recently, but after the short-term rebound it faces pressure as well.
1880–1900 is the current zone where DOKONG is being actively contested again.
If the rebound can’t hold above 1900, overhead pressure remains, and the price is likely to rete

🚨 Trump: Attack on Iran CANCELED!
The decision came after requests from Tehran and Middle Eastern countries.
• The decision depends on the deal being finalized quickly.
• Israel will also be part of the commitment.

• Risk-off sentiment in the markets could ease.

$PEPE Consolidating Near Support 📊
PEPE is trading around $0.00000278.
Technical Snapshot:
• Support: $0.00000270–$0.00000275
• Resistance: $0.00000285–$0.00000295
• Momentum: Neutral. Price is range-bound after recent weakness, with RSI near the midpoint.
The Setup:
$PEPE is stabilizing near recent lows following the pullback from the $0.000003 zone. Holding the $0.00000270–$0.00000275 area keeps the short-term structure intact and opens a path toward $0.00000285–$0.00000295. A clean break higher would improve the outlook.
Failure to defend support risks a deeper move. Volume remains modera

INSIGHT: Gold has gone 126 sessions without a one-year high, last set in January 2026 at $5,318. It sits 23.9% below that level.

Over the past 24 hours, global markets have been hit by multiple pressures at the same time: Japan has launched large-scale FX intervention, US Treasury yields have continued to surge, the Iran-U.S. conflict has elevated energy risks, and the MicroStrategy coin-selling controversy has once again triggered market panic.
Now the BTC price has already jumped from 62.5K to around 63.5K. The main reason is still the impact of geopolitics—“a framework agreement has been reached regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.” But with weak liquidity over the weekend, this kind of rebound often doesn’

Can you let me broaden my horizons to 2004? Even if my brother Wei curses me every day, it’s not a loss—I always think we should be heavily positioned. If you take a light position, I can still hold onto it #晒出我的持仓收益

Btw, the $home I lost yesterday is back. If you’re playing coins like this, either you can get up to 1x in profits, or just go spot. Most people, if they only target 5x or more, can’t hold—getting cut back and forth. You cut as soon as it retraces, you chase as soon as it pumps, and it grinds everyone down to death.
If this coin goes up a lot and you didn’t make money, you definitely got ground down by the chop back and forth. Better try spot.

【$PROM Signal】1H bulls continue, negative funding rate squeeze logic
$PROM 1H RSI 79.51, MACD histogram bars 0.0141 continue to expand. Price 1.977 tightly hugs the upper band 1.9752. The order-book depth shows a relatively high sell-order ratio, but spot buy pressure is still absorbing. 4H MACD momentum expands in sync, with EMA20 crossing above EMA50. Funding rate -0.0578%, and short positions’ cost is relatively high—squeeze conditions are gradually forming. At the current level, it is close to the suggested entry zone, with a reward-to-risk ratio of about 1.5, worth executing.
