Weekend Market Watch, Day 212—Trading volumes have dried up to an absurd degree; both ups and downs feel like a performance. The real action will have to wait until markets open on Monday. For now, total crypto market cap is stalling around $3.14 trillion.



BTC is barely holding 89k, but the volume... Last weekend's bull trap and dump are still fresh in my mind. Will we see the same old trick again this week? I have no confidence either way. ETH, on the other hand, is benefiting from the Fusaka upgrade and is temporarily holding above 3000, but we’ll have to wait for the workweek to see the real picture.

SOL and BNB are moving with the broader market, showing no independent direction. The meme coin sector, however, is starting to show signs of agitation—will this turn into a mini rally? Let’s wait and see.

About this AI-assisted trading thing ( has been running for 28 days ): Both the AI and I are stubborn bulls—always long, always emotional. The strategy is simple: staggered entries, unconditional strict stop-losses, and don’t let emotions drive decisions. Honestly, this is just a personal experiment, not signals—please don’t blindly follow.

News worth a look from the past 24 hours:
• CZ tweeted a wordplay “DOYR = DO YouR meme?”, but clarified it’s not an endorsement of any meme
• Vitalik called for a reliable, decentralized on-chain gas futures market
• Shocking domestic data: Over 3,000 people were prosecuted last year in China for money laundering involving virtual currencies
• France’s second-largest bank, BPCE, opened crypto buying and selling services
• LUNC and LUNA suddenly surged, reportedly linked to rumors that SBF could be pardoned
• SpaceX is preparing to sell internal shares at an $800 billion valuation, with an IPO planned for the second half of next year
• In an AI trading competition: Grok 4.20 is dominating the field, leaving competitors in the dust—Elon Musk even praised its trading ability

All in all, the weekend is just about waiting—Monday will show the real direction.
BTC-2.07%
ETH-4.61%
SOL-4.79%
BNB-2.84%

With trading volume like this, I'm afraid we'll have a tough time when the market opens on Monday.

The trading volume is so sneaky, Monday will probably be another trap. If BTC holds 89k, that's it for now. The probability of a dump next week is really not low—I’ll bet five bucks it happens again. Is the meme sector getting hyped? Better keep a close watch, don’t get rekt. LUNC’s pump this round is ridiculous. SBF pardon? Is that real or not, man? Grok 4.20 leaves other AIs far behind, and Musk is hyping it up again. Long, long, always long—been grinding like this for 28 days. Maybe it’s time to rethink the strategy? We’ll know on Monday. The weekend is just dragging on.

The trading volume is so lifeless, feels like we’re on the eve of some big event... Will the market really explode at Monday’s open? --- BTC is barely holding 89k, it’s exhausting. Will the bull trap trick come again? Honestly, I’m a bit scared. --- Is the meme sector getting restless? Feels like another round of harvesting retail investors, lol. --- AI longs have been holding for 28 days and are still teary-eyed. I just want to ask, has there really been any backtesting or is it just pure luck? --- CZ is really playing word games—whether he endorses it or not, memes can still be pumped. That’s quite a move. --- French banks launching crypto trading services? Europe is really coming onboard now. --- That LUNA pump being linked to SBF’s pardon? That’s quite a story they’ve spun. --- If the market doesn’t open on Monday, I can’t survive. The weekend is pure torture.

The trading volume this weekend is really awkward to the extreme. BTC holding 89k feels like guarding the last stronghold—it's exhausting. Let's wait until Monday to see the real volume; right now it's all just bluffing.

With volume acting like this, you have to watch closely at Monday’s open, or you’ll get tricked by the arbitrage space again. If BTC holds 89k, let it hold. I’ve already calculated my liquidation price, and I’ve seen through it all [dog head]. That LUNA pump was insane. On-chain data shows whale addresses are active again—who’s getting rekt this time? Grok’s trading ability is overwhelming, but I still trust my backtesting data. After all, the eye of the storm is the safest. We’ll see the real outcome on Monday. Everyone going all-in on the meme sector now has a gambler’s mentality—I’m one of them too.

With volume this bad and still stalling, the probability of a breakdown on Monday isn’t low. If BTC can’t hold this line of defense, $314 billion will collapse directly. CZ is playing word games over there, meme coins are probably about to start scamming new retail investors again, whatever. This LUNC pump is insane, just waiting to see if SBF’s pardon is real or not. We’ll know for sure when the market opens on Monday, for now staying in cash feels comfortable. I can’t change my AI bull bias, but you really need to wait for a workday to confirm the trend—don’t get fooled over the weekend. With trading volume like this, it shows the big players are still thinking.
