#数字资产动态追踪 Recently, the international situation has been somewhat turbulent. The US has arrested a leader of a certain country, but based on trading data, the $BTC price hasn't reacted much — which is quite interesting and suggests that crypto traders have learned not to follow geopolitical news blindly.

However, professional opinions are divided. Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Fund, straightforwardly said he didn't expect such events to trigger a broad adjustment in Bitcoin. In contrast, analyst Lennaert Snyder is more cautious, believing that international tensions will continue to exert pressure, and Bitcoin's volatility might significantly increase after the weekend — after all, geopolitical risks are often re-priced during market closures.

Interestingly, during this market turbulence, the altcoin season seems to have started. Tokens like $ADA have indeed been quietly rising recently, and many are beginning to focus on small- and mid-cap opportunities. Of course, this is a double-edged sword — higher volatility also means higher risk. Overall, this period tests trading discipline but could also present opportunities for prepared traders.

BTC-0,44%

ADA-1,94%

Crypto people are tough, big events don't shake us haha --- Waiting for the weekend, there will definitely be some action --- ADA is starting to stir again, but how long this wave can last is really hard to say --- The time to buy the dip has come, it all depends on who has steady hands --- The geopolitical risk pricing theory has been heard too many times, does it work every time? --- Small coins are most likely to flip at this time, being cautious is not wrong --- Institutions are either all in or all out, but it's more reliable to look at the K-line yourself --- Making money with discipline, being a leek without discipline, it's that simple

Haha, is BTC really this resistant to pressure? The retail investors are really becoming savvy now. --- The weekend pricing game is starting again... Feeling uncomfortable. --- ADA quietly rising, I knew someone would be taking over again haha. --- How does geopolitics have anything to do with me? Watching the K-line is the real thing. --- The term "double-edged sword" is quite stylish, but I just lost money anyway. --- Van de Poppe is throwing cold water again. Why doesn't he just call a tenfold coin? --- Small-cap coins are volatile and risky, but I insist on going in. Who told me I’m greedy? --- Everyone following the news must be in the hospital now, our crypto circle has evolved to only watch the trend, truly. --- Waiting for the riot on Monday, this weekend is definitely going to turn around.

Crypto people are really getting smarter; geopolitical news no longer moves BTC --- Snyder is right, the weekend is the real highlight, gotta keep a close eye then --- ADA again? Why do I feel like this round of small coins is rising a bit虚 --- Volatility is increasing, those without bullets should be cautious, don’t get caught --- Conflicting opinions among institutions are so strong that retail investors must rely more on their own discipline --- If you weren’t prepared for this wave, it’s definitely easy to step into a trap --- Hey, I can’t believe the re-pricing of geopolitical risks is happening again --- Mid-cap and small-cap opportunities? Wake up, this is risk calling you

Haha, geopolitical news has already become a historical burden; BTC has long been immune. Is ADA starting to stir again? I'll just watch without taking action; volatility can be really deceptive. I'm convinced by the weekend pricing strategy, but how many truly dare to bottom fish? The altcoin season is here, and it's really a double-edged sword; the carnival of retail investors is also the prelude to the scythe. With institutional opinions so divided, it shows that no one has confidence. Small retail investors should just hold their coins honestly and not get caught up in the volatility.

People in the crypto world have really learned their lessons; major news can't shake Bitcoin. I give full marks for this move.

Ah, once again geopolitical issues and BTC, the crypto community's resilience is really strong now. This wave of altcoins rising is a bit suspicious; we need to keep a close watch. Before the weekend, there might be some more turbulence, it seems. ADA and similar tokens are starting to stir again; could it be that the bagholders are about to step in? Trading discipline is easy to talk about, but when it comes to critical moments, how many can actually hold their ground?
