PancakeSwap modifies tokenomics, reducing the maximum supply for token $CAKE
PancakeSwap has approved a cut of 11% in the maximum supply of CAKE, lowering the limit from 450 million to 400 million tokens, aiming to bolster its long-term development strategy with a focus on prioritizing deflation. This decision received absolute support from the holder community through an on-chain vote on Snapshot, with over 1.66 million votes in favor and no votes against.
This move follows the implementation of CAKE Tokenomics 3.0 in April, when the veCAKE model was eliminated and the daily issuance was significantly reduced from around 40,000 to 22,250 CAKE. As a result, CAKE recorded a net burn of approximately 8.19% in 2025, with the total supply decreasing from 380 million to about 350 million tokens.
The removal of 50 million CAKE from potential future issuance helps mitigate long-term dilution risk without impacting the current circulating supply. Tokens will continue to be burned from various revenue sources such as spot trading fees, profits from perpetual contracts, and fees from initial farming programs.
A suspicious project from Vietnam area, blatant scam
- 08/01/2026: Trove opens ICO, target raise 2.5M USD, FDV valuation 20M. - During the raise, the team manipulated bets on Polymarket: opened a last-minute raise then closed it, bought shares to profit (estimated to make 7 figures). - The raise result skyrocketed to 11M USD (over 4 times the target). Normally, if over-raised, the surplus would be refunded, but Trove declared: no refund and took that money to “continue building the project” =))) On-chain, we also see the investor's fund wallet transferring 45K USD to a casino. This is no longer a “drama”, this is a public scam.
The free USD exchange rate has dropped sharply, the State Bank has withdrawn nearly 30,000 billion VND in the past week
In the past week (12/1 - 16/1), the State Bank continued to withdraw liquidity through the open market channel, interbank VND interest rates increased again, and the foreign exchange market recorded a sharp decline in the free USD exchange rate. In addition, many banks have raised lending rates (At LPBank, starting from December 2025, the lending rate has been raised to 10.5%/year. Nam Á Bank currently applies a base lending rate of about 9.7%/year, while GPBank has increased the lending rate to 12.7%/year in the first 24 months.) ...
This tightens VND liquidity, pushing interbank VND interest rates up sharply (overnight to 3.8%, 1 week to 4.6%), reducing USD speculation demand, increasing foreign currency supply → The free USD price closes at 26,250-26,300 VND/USD (down 510-520 VND/week, >1,600 VND compared to the peak in November 2025)
The tendency of banks to raise interest rates to tighten this VND supply makes me concerned about 2 things.
- Real estate: Tight liquidity + high lending rates → Capital costs skyrocketing, real estate (house/land) investment slowing down, house and land prices may adjust down if lending demand decreases. (This is beneficial for those who want to buy real estate at a reasonable price)
- Business: Export-import enterprises will face higher USD/VND interest rates → Profit margins thin out, investment may be delayed, or labor costs cut.
In summary, 2026 is forecasted to still be a rather difficult year, those who have stable cash flow or secure jobs should continue to maintain sustainability to get through before thinking about more distant goals like quitting to full-time trade or full-time TikTok.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is a technical indicator commonly used for trend analysis and is extremely popular among countless traders entering the market. However, understanding and applying it correctly is a completely different story. Today, I will guide you on how to use just one indicator to capture almost every future price movement on higher timeframes like H4 and D1. This is also a powerful tool that helps you easily buy at the start of an uptrend and sell when signs of exhaustion appear at the peak. What is EMA21? Why the number 21?
EMA21 (Exponential Moving Average 21) is an exponential moving average calculated based on the 21 most recent trading periods. Unlike the SMA (Simple Moving Average), which assigns equal weight to all periods, the EMA places greater weight on the most recent price fluctuations. Why do professional traders prefer the EMA21? Fibonacci Number: 21 is a number in the Fibonacci sequence, which often reflects natural cycles in crowd psychology and financial markets.The Perfect Balance: It is not as slow as the EMA50 (which often lags) but not as noisy as the EMA9 or EMA10. On H4 and D1 timeframes, the EMA21 represents the average trend of approximately one trading month (business days), helping you filter out minor "noise." The Power of EMA21 To accurately capture price movements on H4 and D1, you need to view the EMA21 through three key roles: Dynamic Support and Resistance (Dynamic S/R): In a strong uptrend, price does not move in a straight line but often has "pullbacks" (retracements). The EMA21 acts as a support buffer. When the price touches this line and leaves a wick (rejection), it signals that buyers are waiting to push the price further. Conversely, in a downtrend, the EMA21 acts as a "barrier" preventing the bulls' recovery efforts.Defining the "Value Area": The biggest mistake traders make is FOMO (buying/selling in a panic) when the price has moved too far from the EMA21.Price far from EMA21: The market is in an overbought or oversold state (overheated).Price retracing to EMA21: This is when the price returns to the "Value Area." This is the safest time to open a long or short position.The "Rubber Band" Rule (Mean Reversion): Imagine the EMA21 is the anchor and the price is a rubber band. When the price is stretched too far from the EMA21, profit-taking pressure will emerge, pulling the price back toward the moving average. Understanding this helps you avoid "buying the top" and know exactly when to exit when the price shows signs of exhaustion. How to apply EMA21 to "Catch the Wave" on H4 and D1 To trade effectively, follow this simple yet powerful set of rules: Identify the Trend: Only buy when the EMA21 slope is pointing upward and the price is above the line. Only sell when the EMA21 slope is pointing downward and the price is below the line.
Entry Point: Wait for a price correction (Pullback) that touches or slightly pierces the EMA21, followed by a reversal candlestick pattern (Pinbar, Engulfing). That is the moment to "get on board."
Exit Point: When the gap between the price and the EMA21 is too wide (the angle between the price and the EMA is overextended), or when the price closes decisively on the opposite side of the EMA21.
Important Note: EMA21 works most effectively when the market has a clear trend. During sideways (consolidation) phases, this line will be crossed back and forth repeatedly; in these cases, you should stay on the sidelines and observe.
I prefer to use levels where there are large limit orders clustered in 1 place.
This is because once price hits the level and then starts moving away from it (either in the form of a breaking through the level OR reversing from it), the reaction can get more violent.
Bitcoin's correction has reached the 20-day EMA at $92,625 — a key short-term support zone to watch.
If the price bounces strongly from the 20-day EMA, it reflects positive market sentiment and increases the likelihood of breaking the $97,924 mark. In that case, the BTC/USDT pair could rise to $100,000 and even further to $107,500.
Conversely, if the price breaks and closes below the moving averages, this indicates that the bulls are gradually losing control. Bitcoin could then fluctuate within a range of $84,000 to $97,924 for several days.
President Trump appeared upset about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025.
Trump sent a letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, saying he “no longer sees an obligation to think only about peace” after declining the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
In the letter, Trump directly linked this to his position that he wants the US to “completely control” Greenland to ensure global security.
He sulked, and financial markets like crypto suffered.
$BTC Bitcoin DEFENDS the Line Again — Is the Next Leg UP Loading? 🚨
Bitcoin just did it again. Price has bounced cleanly off a long-term ascending support, a level that has repeatedly separated bull continuation from deeper pullbacks. Every time BTC has tested this line in the past, sellers tried — and failed — to break it.
This zone has acted as a launchpad, not a trap. Previous rejections above it marked distribution, but successful retests below have consistently led to strong upside continuation. Right now, structure remains intact, higher lows are holding, and momentum is starting to curl back up from support.
In simple terms: bears had their shot… and couldn’t finish the job.
As long as this trendline holds, the path of least resistance stays higher — and dips continue to look like positioning opportunities, not panic signals.
Is this the calm before Bitcoin’s next expansion move?
Bulls are trying to keep XRP price above the moving averages, however selling pressure remains high
If the price falls below the moving averages, the XRP/USDT pair could continue moving within a descending channel pattern. The $1.61 level is a key support zone to watch. A break and close below this level would increase the risk of a sharp decline to the October 10th low of $1.25.
To signal a short-term trend reversal, bulls need to push the XRP price above the descending trend line. This could lead to a strong surge to $2.70, and then to $3.10.
Ether (ETH) has bounced back from the 20-day EMA ($3,088), indicating that the bulls are attempting to regain control.
If the closing price is above the resistance line, the advantage will shift to the buyers. In that case, the ETH/USDT pair could rise to $3,569, and further to the psychological $4,000 mark.
Conversely, if the price reverses from the resistance line and breaks through the moving averages, ETH is likely to continue fluctuating within the triangle pattern for a few more days. Bears will prevail if the price breaks through the support line, causing ETH to fall sharply to $2,623.
The correction in BTC from the $94,789 resistance zone has found support at the moving averages, indicating that buying pressure emerged during the price decline.
The bulls will seek to consolidate their position by pushing the price of Bitcoin above $94,789. If successful, the BTC/USDT pair could surge to $100,000, then to $107,500. This development would indicate that the correction phase may have ended.
Conversely, if the price reverses and falls from $94,789 and breaks through the moving averages, it would suggest that the bears are still actively trading at higher price levels. In that case, BTC could continue to trade sideways in the $84,000 – $94,789 range.
Monero recorded a slight increase of approximately 1% at the time of writing on Friday, continuing its 3% gain from the previous session. This privacy-focused coin is maintaining a steady recovery trend, amidst Zcash's governance uncertainties, which is temporarily helping Monero expand its market share.
Technically, the area around the psychological $500 mark — coinciding with the peak set on December 20th at $498 and the R1 Pivot point at $501 — is emerging as a key short-term resistance zone.
The RSI indicator is currently at 59, above the neutral threshold, indicating that buying pressure is dominant and there is still room for further price increases. Simultaneously, the MACD continues to rise and is approaching the signal line, reflecting a clear weakening of bearish momentum. A MACD crossing above the signal line would confirm the return of an uptrend and trigger a buy signal.
In a negative scenario, if Monero loses the $450 support level, the price could reverse to test the 50-day EMA around $418.
Chiliz Whales (CHZ) are accumulating strongly – Will a sharp rally follow?
During the 2022 World Cup, the simultaneous launch of official Fan Tokens and NFTs significantly expanded the Chiliz ecosystem and provided substantial impetus to the value of CHZ. Entering a new phase, this specialized sports blockchain is gradually regaining its growth momentum as the FIFA World Cup 2026 is expected to return to the US in June. This global event is anticipated to spark interest and increase participation from US investors in the Chiliz ecosystem in the near future.
From an on-chain data perspective, "whales" continue to quietly accumulate CHZ, despite the token's 48% drop over the past year – marking its fourth consecutive year of decline. Specifically, the group of investors holding between 100 million and 1 billion CHZ has increased their holdings to 5.23% of the total on-chain supply, a significant increase from the 3.84% recorded on January 1st. Meanwhile, the group holding over 1 billion CHZ maintains a stable holding at 65.12% – a quiet but positive sign indicating continued long-term confidence.
Ethereum has just officially released its 2025 ecosystem summary report, highlighting several important milestones. The total value locked (TVL) in Ethereum's DeFi has surpassed $99 billion, reflecting continued strong demand and liquidity growth. Stablecoin payment volume reached $18.8 trillion, reinforcing Ethereum's central role in the on-chain financial infrastructure.
Notably, transaction fees on Layer 2 networks have fallen below $0.01, while the average throughput of Rollups has exceeded 5,600 TPS for the first time, demonstrating significantly improved scalability. ETFs and strategic reserves now hold over $35 billion worth of ETH. The on-chain real asset sector (RWA) has also recorded a total issuance value exceeding $12 billion.
To date, Ethereum has deployed over 88 million smart contracts, peaking at 1.74 million transactions per day and maintaining approximately 32,000 active developers.
Bitcoin closed above the 50-day SMA at $89,231 on Friday and continued to rise toward the upper resistance zone at $94,589.
Moving averages are approaching a bullish crossover, while the RSI is in positive territory, indicating that bulls are in control. If buyers break above $94,589, Bitcoin could surge to the psychological $100,000 mark and potentially even $107,500.
Conversely, if the price reverses sharply from the resistance zone and breaks below the moving averages, the BTC/USDT pair could continue to fluctuate within the $84,000 – $94,589 range for some time.
Dogwifat (WIF) is trading firmly above $0.40 at the time of writing on Monday, marking a four-session winning streak with an impressive recovery of nearly 50%. On Sunday alone, this meme coin surged 20%, not only surpassing the 50-day EMA at $0.377 but also breaking through the resistance trendline formed from the peaks of October 13th and 27th — a technical signal confirming the trend.
If the upward momentum continues, WIF could potentially extend its gains towards the $0.472 region, corresponding to the key low established on October 17th.
In terms of indicators, the MACD still maintains a buy signal after Saturday's bullish crossover, while the RSI reached 61, reflecting significantly improving demand and remaining upside potential before entering the overbought zone.
However, in a negative scenario, if the price reverses and loses the 50-day EMA at $0.377, the current breakout attempt could be invalidated, thereby increasing the risk of a deeper correction to the psychological $0.300 mark.
$BONK pauses four-day rally after Sunday's 28% jump
Bonk corrected slightly by nearly 1% at the time of writing on Monday, following a strong 28% breakout in the previous session, successfully conquering the psychological $0.00001000 mark.
Bonk's four-day rally showed clear signs of breaking out of the descending wedge pattern, opening up new upside potential, with the bulls' next target being the 200-day EMA around $0.00001514.
Similar to BRETT, momentum indicators on the daily timeframe are sending very positive bullish signals. The RSI has surged to 73, officially entering the overbought zone, while the MACD lines have crossed the 0 threshold and the histogram is continuously expanding with green bars, reflecting the strengthening upward momentum.
In a correction scenario, BONK's nearest support zone is at the psychological level of $0.0000100. If selling pressure increases, the price could retreat to test the 50-day EMA around $0.00000976.
