Today, the long-awaited 'Binance Life' has finally landed on the spot trading pair. However, the storyline didn't unfold as everyone expected—'a steady climb northward'—but instead delivered a heart-pounding 'vertical rollercoaster'.
1. Market Recap: The surge was a trap, and the 'door' pattern was the outcome? 📈📉
At the moment of listing, the price indeed surged rapidly due to strong brand effect and an influx of liquidity, causing an exhilarating spike. But right after, before the late buyers could even react, the market abruptly reversed, drawing a classic 'door' pattern on the candlestick chart.
Rapid surge phase: Mainly driven by FOMO (fear of missing out) emotions, along with the initial depth of the order book quickly adjusting.
Door painting decline phase: Early participants (such as those in the primary market, airdrop recipients, or market makers) cash out at high levels, causing the price to quickly fall back due to the inability to support the order book in a short time.
2. Why do new coins always love to 'paint doors' upon launch? 🤔
This has almost become a 'highlight show' for many new coins:
Liquidity premium reversion: The premium that appears when spot trading goes live is usually unsustainable, and the price will eventually revert to the market-recognized value range.
Profit taking: Those who held positions at an earlier stage have their biggest 'withdrawal day' when the spot trading goes live.
Retail psychology game: The market makers attract attention by pushing prices up, completing the chip transfer when retail investors rush in.
3. Pitfall guide: How to survive in the 'door painting' market? 🛡️
As traders, we cannot control the market, but we can control our own pockets:
Do not fully invest at market price 5 minutes before the opening: The slippage and volatility at that time can cause you to lose 20% instantly.
Pay attention to 'trading volume' and 'turnover rate': If the price is rising but the volume is shrinking, this is a clear signal of false bullishness.
Enter in batches, don't try to catch the lowest point: For highly volatile new coins, wait for the market to stabilize slightly (at least 15 minutes or 1 hour closing) before making decisions.
4. Summary: Is it 'life' or 'illusion'?
The trend of 'Binance Life' once again sounds the alarm for us: In the crypto world, buying well is not as good as selling well, and selling well is not as good as not chasing recklessly. New coin listings are opportunities, but also a game. Are you the one picking up the pieces, or just watching the show?
