What Is Volume-Price Divergence? Why Might Prices Keep Setting New Highs While Trading Volume Gradually Declines?

In the cryptocurrency market, a phenomenon that warrants caution sometimes occurs: BTC prices keep setting new highs, but trading volume continues to decline. The market may still look strong on the surface, but signs of weakening upward momentum may have already emerged. This phenomenon is called volume-price divergence.

First, what is volume-price divergence? Simply put, it is when price movements and changes in trading volume do not align. For example, prices continue to rise

Bitcoin’s $71,000 Breakdown Raises Concerns About Another Wave of Selling

The most frightening thing about prediction markets: News from around the world could all become a business!

Imagine opening your phone in the morning and seeing not just Bitcoin price movements, but the probability of a Fed rate cut, a tech bill passing, a World Cup champion, and whether a company will meet its profitability target.
This may sound a little crazy, but prediction markets are turning it into reality.
Traditional media tells you what happened, social media gets everyone arguing, while prediction markets go a step further and ask: What probability do you assign to this happening?

Is $1.4 trillion too expensive? Anthropic's IPO is putting the entire AI market's intelligence to the test!

Is a $1.4 trillion valuation for an AI company too high?
Anthropic has posed an exceptionally difficult question to the market.
Supporters believe AI will reshape global software, enterprise services, and productivity markets, with future potential that may far exceed that of the traditional internet.
Skeptics argue that model competition is fierce, computing costs are enormous, and technological advantages may not last.
Based on public reports, Anthropic's revenue run rate is already s

What Is the Long-Short Position Ratio? Why Can Prices Suddenly Fall When Most of the Market Is Bullish?
In crypto derivatives markets, one data point worth watching closely is the long-short position ratio. It can help traders gauge market participants’ directional bias, but sometimes the more people in the market are bullish, the more likely prices are to see a sharp pullback.
First, what is the long-short position ratio?
Simply put, it reflects the relative proportions of long and short positions in the market. For example, a long-short ratio of 2:1 means that, according to the data, there a

Anthropic hasn’t rung the opening bell yet, but its seven co-founders have already decided to cash out about $250 million each.
The AI company behind Claude just updated its IPO filing. Seven founders, including CEO Dario Amodei and his sister Daniela, plan to sell about 3.38 million shares each in the IPO. At the midpoint of the offering price range, that would amount to about $1.75 billion combined.
That’s only 1.5% of each founder’s stake. After the sales, each will still be worth around $18 billion.
The seven also each hold one super-voting share, giving them 51.1% of the voting power comb

More and more traders are starting to use AI and quantitative models to predict cryptocurrency market trends. Some models can even give an 80% probability of a price increase. But an interesting phenomenon is that even when trading signals seem highly accurate, quite a few people still end up losing money.

Why does this happen?

First, a probability forecast is not a guarantee of profit. An 80% probability of a price increase means the model estimates that the market is likely to rise under specific conditions; it does not mean the next trade will definitely make money.

$ERA If you're itching to jump in today, you'll most likely be providing exit liquidity for people up 19%. Let me make this clear: don't touch it.
Let's review my trade. I placed an order around 0.0715 yesterday, when the 24-hour low was 0.0714, so I got in almost right at the floor. Trading volume was only 29M—not much, so the price can slip when the order book gets hit. The logic was simple: there was volume supporting it near the previous low, so I bet on a bounce. But today it shot straight up to 0.0862; it's now at 0.0854, up 19.48%. I sold 70% at 0.0835 and kept the remaining 30% to see

And it’s strange how my sense and understanding of temperature are always a bit abstract,
Really, everywhere else is fine (because the AC is on)…
Except my hands—they’re just cold🥶!!!
They say people with cold hands are angels with broken wings, and are lovable…
I’m frozen stiff, so surely I should get some love first, right?
Hope there are lovable little sweethearts everywhere today! (I’ll boil a cup of water to warm up and show myself a little love first—my typing’s getting all messed up)

How to Recognize and Avoid Crypto Scams? Don’t Wait Until Your Assets Are at Risk to Learn About Security

In the Web3 world, risks come not only from price volatility; they may also be hidden in a direct message, an airdrop link, or even an apparently ordinary wallet approval.

Many scams don’t rely on complex technology. What they really exploit is often people’s expectations of free rewards, trust in authoritative identities, and poor judgment in urgent situations.

What do you truly own when you buy an NFT? The image, the copyright, or a record on the blockchain?

Many people encountering NFTs for the first time think of them as digital images that can be bought, collected, and resold.

But an NFT’s core value is not just the image itself. It comes from using a blockchain to record the ownership and transfer of a specific token. The real question to clarify is: What rights do you actually acquire when you buy an NFT?

Buying an NFT usually means you gain control of that token on the corresp

AI IPOs are creating wealth myths! Could the next explosive growth opportunity be in the AI industry chain?

Anthropic’s push for a $1.4 trillion valuation may prompt many investors to reassess the AI industry chain.
In the past, people focused on AI model companies. Then they started paying attention to GPUs. Now data centers, power, optical modules, storage, and networking equipment are gradually becoming market focal points as well.
The reason is simple: the more powerful AI models become, the more use cases they have, and the greater the demand for the infrastructure behind them may be.
