04Operation suggestions
Operational Recommendations and Risk Warnings
Operational Recommendations
- Liquidity Protection: MYX will unlock approximately $1.2 million worth of tokens on 2026-08-06. If the trading depth for these tokens is insufficient, it is advisable to take defensive measures within this week to avoid bearing selling pressure around the unlocking date.
- Sentiment Analysis: The market sentiment index is currently in the fearful range of 40/100. If the sentiment index drops further below 35 without a corresponding increase in Whale activity, it is recommended to build positions in stages to seize opportunities resulting from undervaluation.
- Event-Driven Factors: Kraken has reached a custody partnership with VerifiedX for vBTC. If regulatory developments drive spot BTC trading volume above $30B, considering increasing holdings of spot BTC might be prudent.
Risk Warnings
- Unlocking Selling Pressure: Tokens such as HYPE and SUI are facing large-scale unlocks this week, so be cautious of sharp short-term price fluctuations.
- Sentiment Reversal: If Whale activity surges by 60 points alongside a rapid rise in the sentiment index into the greedy range, watch out for short-term pullback risks.
