$RIVER : The Peak of Manipulation & "Liquidity Trap"
As of today, RIVER has reached a new ATH at $69. However, behind this growth lies a sophisticated price manipulation scenario.
1. The Unlock Paradox: The more you sell, the more it rises?
On January 22, an Unlock of 1.5 million tokens (for early investment funds) took place. According to the rules, the price should crash. But in reality:
Manipulation: Market Makers (MM) built a massive "buy wall" to stop the decline at $32.50, then pushed the price back up to $69.
Purpose: To create a mindset of "the project is too strong, cannot decline" to attract retail investors into providing exit liquidity for the whales who just received the tokens.
2. Justin Sun's "Mark" & The Korean Exchange
The appearance of Justin Sun ($8M investment) and the listing on Coinone are strategic moves:
Kimchi Pump: Taking advantage of the FOMO cash flow from Korea to create artificial trading volume (Wash Trading).
Liquidity Loop: satUSD is pushed into the TRON ecosystem to create a "yield trap," causing users to lock real assets into the protocol while the token price is manipulated on CEX exchanges.
3. The "telling" numbers about the manipulation:
Futures/Spot Ratio (80x): Derivative volume is 80 times the actual trading. The price $RIVER is completely controlled by liquidation events.
Low supply - Artificial valuation: Only 19.6% of the total circulating supply, but FDV has exceeded $2.1 billion.
High concentration: Over 70% of the supply is in the hands of 120 whale wallets. This is a "time bomb" waiting for a simultaneous sell-off.
4. The final warning:
$RIVER is a "gambling house" where the house holds all the cards.

Fight (or Fight.ID, token $FIGHT) is a Web3 project connecting MMA (mixed martial arts) with blockchain, focusing on the sports ecosystem. The project is developed by Concept Labs (now Fight.ID), and is most notable for its long-term official collaboration with UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) – the world's leading MMA organization. They also developed UFC Strike (the previous NFT game) and are building a bridge between MMA fans, fighters, and the crypto community.
$SENT will start TGE and begin trading on Binance Alpha at 5 PM today (22/1/2026). Let's explore this project together.
1. Project Position (Identity)
Sentient is an Open AGI (Open General Artificial Intelligence) protocol. The core goal is to break the monopoly of Big Tech (OpenAI/Google) by building GRID infrastructure – where models, data, and computing power are owned and operated by the community.
Incredible backing: Raised $85M led by Founders Fund (Peter Thiel), Pantera, and Framework Ventures.
2. Tokenomics: Community Focused
Total Supply ($SENT ): 34.36 billion tokens
Community Allocation: 65% (Very high, creating a Fair Launch vibe)
Initial Circulating Supply: 13-15% (Mainly from Airdrop & Public Sale)
3. Quick Assessment: Bull Case vs. Bear Case
Reasons to be Bullish:
AI Narrative is king: The 2026 cash flow is heavily focused on AI Infrastructure. Sentient is one of the few projects with a real product (Sentient Chat) and a massive community of "Yappers" (Kaito).
Binance Seed Tag: Often accompanied by extreme volatility but huge volume, easily creating a FOMO effect that drives the price above pre-market expectations ($0.02).
Risks to Note (Bear Case):
Airdrop Sell Pressure: 13% of the total supply being unlocked immediately is not a small figure. If demand from the exchange is not strong enough, the price could be "dumped" in the first 1-2 hours after listing.
Strategy: Since there is no pool for BNB holders, you can completely wait until SENT is listed on Binance Spot to sell tokens. Or short $SENT on prefuture right now to lock in profits.

For the past 3 days, I've received airdrops from alpha and have cashed out both Gwei, Fight, and $SENT . It's really disappointing. I thought cashing out 0.0207 was good.
🔥 Why won't the bull market in 2025 operate like in 2021?
This season is different from 2021 due to the lack of "wave-making characters" like CZ or market-leading tycoons. Instead, there is a continuous wave of new token listings to liquidate, causing capital to be drained and fragmented, making it difficult to create a spillover effect.
There are too many narratives, projects are being introduced densely, but no segment is strong enough to create a strong consensus, except for AI and the Solana ecosystem, which still show a clear trend. The market thus lacks a "main axis" to bull together.
The valuation of new projects is also a major issue. VCs this season are playing harder: pushing old projects up high, using them as anchor points to value new projects, then distributing. Retail investors coming in later have almost no safety margin. ETFs, RWAs, and DePIN pull crypto closer to TradFi, but also bring along a mindset of low-profit – sustainable – long-term investing, along with the ability to tell stories and manipulate systematically. ETFs are a driving force, but capital doesn't go straight into altcoins and needs time: ETF → CEX → DEX.
The bull market in 2021 was also driven by the specific factor of Covid. This season lacks a similar boost, so the market tends to revert to the style of 2013–2017: slow bull, rotating bull.
Moreover, many builders this season are present but "hungry," leading to short-term profit-taking, resulting in only light bull waves that are difficult to extend.
⚠️ What should be done?
Focus on creating real income, don't go all-in expecting a large bull.
Accept reality: if there's no strong bull, then there's a light bull.
In the long term, the market will self-cleanse and super star projects will emerge.
Avoid jumping chaotically with short waves; the market will bull by rotating among industry groups.
