#Market_Update Every ALT coin holder right now is like a street vendor selling pumpkins in the peak of summer standing under a scorching sun and harsh, dry winds while the pumpkins slowly start to wither and no buyers show up. Yet he keeps sprinkling water on them and keeps saying, “If you don’t want to sell, don’t sell… just hold tight, hold strong.”
Look at the reality of the last 6 months:
• Solana (SOL) — around $160–$200 in Aug 2025, now hovering near the mid-$200 range in early 2026 depending on volatility.

• Ethereum (ETH) — was near its 2025 summer highs around $4.6k–$4.9k, now trading close to ~$2k after the recent market correction.

• Cardano (ADA) — around $0.87–$0.95 in Aug 2025, struggling to move far beyond that range since.

This is the cycle:
Prices rise → hype comes → correction hits → holders turn into “long-term investors.”
Right now the market mood isn’t fear… it’s patience mixed with denial.
Some are waiting for the next bull wave, while others are still spraying water on their “pumpkins,” hoping buyers return.
Moral:
In crypto, holding is easy during bull runs.
Real holding begins when the market goes silent.
