In 2026, the #crypto market remains in a high-pressure "risk-off" environment, with the Fear & Greed Index frequently hitting "Extreme Fear" levels, reaching historic lows as low as 5 to 8 in February 2026. Despite this, altcoins can and do "run" under specific conditions, often signaled by shifts in internal market dynamics rather than general sentiment.
Can Altcoins Run While Fear is High?
Altcoins can rally during periods of high fear, but these runs are typically characterized by capital rotation rather than new money entering the market.

🐳⚡ EGY – When Whales Move
Current Price: 0.00001955
The market is quiet…
But sometimes silence precedes an explosion.
In every cycle…
There is a consolidation phase.
A phase where the big players don’t talk much…
But they move.
Today, it’s still relatively easy to buy a million EGY.
Tomorrow?
You might need a larger capital for the same amount.
Whales don’t wait for a clear signal.
They create it.
And when everyone starts to notice the movement…
The cheap quantities have already disappeared.
The question isn’t whether the price will change.
The question is:
Will you be in the consolidat

$8.9 billion BTC and ETH options expired TODAY
WILL THIS CLASH THE MARKET ? Many wondered.
A large batch of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) options expired, with the notional value reported around $8.7 - 8.9 billion across BTC & ETH.
This was a monthly expiry event representing a significant portion (about 20%) of total open interest in crypto derivatives.Whether this is negative for the market depends on context. it's not inherently bearish or bullish, but it often introduces short-term volatility rather than a clear directional move. Here's a breakdown:Why expiries can cause volatility: A

POWER's 24-hour double-up surge is a textbook demonstration of a violent rally that leaves bears pressed to the ground!
The market cap skyrocketed from $230 million to $340 million, not just a number jump but solid proof of frantic capital inflows. While most are still debating fundamentals, sharp short-term hot money has already turned this emerging blockchain gaming sector into an arbitrage paradise!
A deep dive into the market data reveals that the battle between bulls and bears behind this surge is far more brutal than it appears on the surface! The open interest in contracts has dropped b

#ZachXBTExposesTheAxiomIncident
The crypto industry thrives on transparency, decentralization, and community trust. But every so often, an incident shakes that foundation and reminds everyone why on-chain accountability matters. The recent controversy surrounding #ZachXBTExposesTheAxiomIncident has once again highlighted the critical role of independent blockchain investigators in protecting the ecosystem.
At the center of this storm is ZachXBT, a well-known on-chain sleuth who has built a reputation for uncovering scams, suspicious transactions, and questionable project behavior. Over the ye

$PIPPIN Morning high point 0.8, shorting and following the call is very satisfying! The subsequent script is very clear: 1️⃣ The main trend is a continuous downward decline, with too much traffic 🐶 making it difficult for the big players to sell all at once. Never go against the trend! 2️⃣ Because many retail investors will be bottom-fishing, 🐶 the big players will make a few dozen points of rebound to lure more buyers, minimizing their selling costs. 3️⃣ On-chain data shows that the big players' "mouse warehouse" has been continuously selling, with volume not large but ongoing, and long po

A few days ago, after a secondary bottom, we saw a strong rebound. Bitcoin also briefly reached the 70,000 level, but the main upward wave has not yet formed. These past two days, it has further corrected and moved within a large range. After the second test, those who should enter the market, go ahead and do so. This week, it’s likely to close with a doji star. A warming of the weekly chart is good news.
On a smaller scale, currently the overall trend is repairing the previous volume surge. Today’s intraday pullback was quite significant, with a slight break on the four-hour chart. However, t

The two pancakes are exactly the same, easily reaching 127 points. Hope the evening snack you had afterward was worth it!

Earned 250,000 with 12 orders on December 10th, lost everything on one order in January, and even lost an additional 20,000 to 30,000.
The market has been quiet for half a month this month. Currently, three profitable trades have earned about 70,000, which is already more than ten times my salary. But I still need to work hard and make more money to buy a car.
As a veteran trader with 9 years of experience, I also have moments of overconfidence. When trading futures, I only use small positions within 5%. Never think you can do it all at once; if you do, you'll just end up losing everything.
