Tonight, let’s chat about two "washed-up narrative leaders"—one skyrocketed during the day while the other tanked. Quite an interesting contrast.
$GMT shot up over 13% today, climbing from $0.01 to $0.0145 before pulling back to $0.012. The focus isn’t just on the price increase, but the trading volume—today it hit $17.3M, while the weekly average was only $0.5M, a whopping 35x increase in volume. Remember that STEPN sneaker project? It peaked at $4 in 2022 and now sits at $0.012, down 99.7%. So why the sudden pump? First,
$GMT has been doing token buybacks and burns, consistently reducing circulating supply; second, there are a few new projects in the Move-to-earn space that just got funding, bringing attention back to this sector. But honestly, this kind of violent pump followed by a quick drop is likely a sign that funds are accumulating at lower levels before unloading. If you missed the boat, don’t chase; $0.012 is already a price after a pullback. If you hold a position, consider placing a sell order around $0.014 to take profits on half, and see if it can hold the $0.011 support. If it breaks below, don’t hesitate—watch out for a potential dump.
$ONDO is trending at number two today, but not for a good reason—it’s because it crashed. It plummeted from $0.448 straight down to $0.378, over an 8% drop intraday. That massive $70M bearish candlestick yesterday wiped out all gains for the week. The RWA narrative has been the favorite story for institutions this year, with
$ONDO as the leader rising from $0.346 to $0.414, only to be hit hard by a huge sell-off. Why the collapse? First, profit-taking was heavy after five consecutive days of gains, accumulating a lot of short-term positions; second, news came out that the ECB opposed the stablecoin proposal, causing the market to panic, linking RWA to stablecoin regulation. At the current $0.39 level, I wouldn’t recommend catching the falling knife. If you believe in the long-term RWA narrative, wait for it to stabilize in the $0.35-$0.37 range before considering to accumulate in batches—don’t rush to be a hero.
Two once-mighty narrative kings: one survived on low volume violent pumps, while the other got knocked back to reality by a massive sell-off. Once the story's over, the funds leave; when a new story comes up, the funds return. Fear index is at 33, the market is still scared—don’t get trigger-happy 😂
