From 120K to Silence What Is Really Driving This Market?!RAVE / TetherUS PERPETUAL CONTRACTBINANCE:RAVEUSDT.PHamadaMarkIn the past months, after the drop from 120K on BTC, you may have noticed that some tickers made insane pumps. Among them are SIREN and RIVERUSD RAVEUSDT.P and other like STOUSDT, and many others. The point I want to discuss here is that exchanges seem to be attracting traders’ attention through these pumps. If you look closely and do some basic research, even during the BTC run to 120K, Google Trends was almost flat, showing no real surge in public interest. This says a lot about how people are currently interacting with the crypto market. Yes, institutions have entered the market with their own agendas. But even among them, some are already taking losses, though it does not seem to affect them. Large portfolios can adapt and stay flexible in ways that retail traders cannot. What concerns me more is the behavior of certain tokens that achieve gains of over +3000%, only to lose everything within days. These kinds of moves and sharp sell offs make it difficult to enter or manage positions. It raises a real question. Are platforms playing a role in this to maintain high daily trading volume and guide the market where they want? There are many questions, especially since we did not see a true altcoin season in the last cycle, even though BTC kept making new highs. Is confidence in the crypto market still strong? Will altcoins play a role in the next cycle, or is there no real cycle ahead? Have altcoins been replaced by new tokens that are heavily oversupplied and quickly lose their value? Do you remember the crash in 2025 linked to Binance, which wiped out many accounts? That long wick we still see across many altcoins is something the market has not fully recovered from. There are many questions and possibilities. The coming days will bring answers that could be disappointing, shocking, or maybe even offer some hope. Either way, we keep doing our best. we ask Allah reconcile and repay
