🤬🤬 Just today I finished an article about bots in futures and immediately fell under their train (don't trade tired)....👇
🤖 Crypto Bots: Liquidation & Funding Traps Ever see a price "wick" your stop and immediately reverse? It’s not bad luck; it’s HFT algorithms hunting your liquidity.
🔪 Liquidation Hunting Bots target "liquidation maps" where stops cluster. They drive the price there to create a surge of market orders, allowing "whales" to exit large positions with zero slippage. Your loss is their exit liquidity.
💸 Funding Traps Bots manipulate the spot-futures spread to spike funding rates. They can trap the price in a tight range while your capital evaporates on high fees, even without significant price movement.
🛡 How to Avoid the Trap: - Avoid "Round Number" stops (e.g., $50,000). Use "awkward" price levels instead. - Watch for high volume without price action — this often signals a trap is forming. - Understand the mechanics to stop being "market liquidity."

XPL: Between "Technological Marvel" and "Crypto Detective"
🚀 @Plasma : Between "Technological Marvel" and "Crypto Detective"
The information space surrounding XPL (Plasma) is currently buzzing like a beehive. On one hand, it is a serious Layer-1 blockchain promising USDT transfers with zero fees (a dream for any arbitrageur). On the other hand, there is so much activity that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish real hype from a choreographed performance.
Headline: XPL — Fee-Free Blockchain or Another "Sweet" Honey-Pot Quest? 🍬🕵️♂️ Friends, have you noticed what’s happening with XPL lately? While the market is drowning in a sideways trend, #Plasma has decided to put on a real show. Let’s dive into where the technology ends and the real crypto-curiosities begin! 👇
1. "Free Cheese" in the Phishing Mousetrap 🧀 The biggest irony (and a tragedy for many newcomers) is how quickly scammers adapted to Plasma's slogan: "Zero Fees." As soon as the project announced its CreatorPad launch on Binance, the internet was flooded with fake "Vote for XPL Rewards" websites. Laughter through tears: People want "free" tokens to cover gas or earn rewards so badly that they are willing to hand over their private keys to sites that look like a toddler's coloring book. ⚠️ Remember, if you are asked to "verify your wallet" to receive a reward you haven't even won yet—you’ve already lost!!!
2. Liquidation Magic: 200% Candles in a Second 🕯️ During the initial trading phases on certain platforms, XPL painted charts so wild that traders began suspecting developers of heavy-handed manipulation. Imagine the situation: you open a short position, you blink—and your position is gone because the token decided to "fly to Mars and back" in 60 seconds. This triggered a wave of memes claiming the $XPL chart looks more like the EKG of someone who just drank 10 cans of energy drinks.
3. The "Crypto-Quest" on Binance Square 🧩 Currently, the CreatorPad campaign is in full swing, where millions of tokens are being distributed for posts about XPL. The funny part is how the feed has turned into a competition: "Who can write the most pathetic ode to Plasma?" Some creators have gone so far as to credit XPL with the ability to cure depression and bring back ex-partners. Guys, it’s just a cool L1 for stablecoins—take a breath! 😂
🧐 Similar Situation with Another Binance Token: $PEPE 🐸 If you think XPL is wild, remember the history of PEPE (which, of course, is traded on Binance). A Curious Example: When PEPE first skyrocketed, one trader bought $250 worth of tokens, which turned into $1.02 million in just a few days. But there was a catch: he couldn't sell them because there was zero liquidity in the pair on decentralized exchanges at that time. He sat there staring at his "million" in his wallet like a painting in a museum—you can look, but you can’t touch. The situation with XPL currently mirrors this hype: the crowd is chasing Binance rewards, creating massive noise, but the project’s real value (free USDT transactions) will only be truly revealed once the CreatorPad "dust" settles.
Conclusion: XPL is currently the main attraction in the crypto theme park. Take advantage of the CreatorPad opportunities, but don't forget to keep a cool head. Zero fees are great, but "free" experience in crypto always ends up costing money. 💸
The crypto market in 2026 has moved beyond simple hype. We are now in the era of "Utility Infrastructure," where the value of a token is directly tied to the service it provides to the global ecosystem. Today, we analyze three pillars of this new economy.
🛡 $DUSK : The Foundation of Regulated Finance As RWA (Real World Assets) become the dominant narrative, Dusk Network stands as the leading L1 solution. Its unique focus on ZK-proofs allows institutions to tokenize securities while staying compliant with global regulations like MiCA. - The Role: Secure, private, and regulatory-ready financial transactions. In 2026, DUSK is the bridge between TradFi and DeFi.
🌐 $WAL : The AI & Data Backbone In the age of massive AI models, decentralized storage is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Walrus (WAL), integrated within the Sui ecosystem, provides the high-speed, verifiable storage layer needed for "data blobs" and AI training sets. - The Role: Ensuring that the world’s data remains censorship-resistant and accessible at millisecond speeds. WAL is the "hard drive" of the decentralized web.
🎮 $XPL : The Connector for Web3 Gaming Infrastructure isn't just about servers and finance; it’s about participation. XPLA (XPL) has emerged as the premier Tendermint-based layer for digital ownership in gaming. By providing a stable environment for creators and players, it bridges the gap between traditional gaming and the Metaverse. - The Role: Facilitating digital asset ownership and cross-chain gaming experiences. XPL is the "engine" driving the new creator economy.
💡 The Synergy of 2026 These three assets represent a balanced portfolio for the current market cycle: #dusk (DUSK) - handles the security of assets. #walrus (WAL) - handles the persistence of data. #Plasma (XPL) - handles the utility of digital participation.
📈 I wrote the article "Crypto Bots: Liquidation & Funding Traps" and the bots took revenge on me for $DUSK .
In 1 second, the price jumped to the most probable height and closed the order not where the stop-loss was set. This is a clear example of how bots work.
🎯 With a stop-loss set at 0.1215, the actual closing price was 0.1265.
I entered earlier and the price was in profit, but looking at the liquidation heat map, I thought that the price would go even lower. After a few minutes, it was already clear that the liquidation map was filled in the other side, so the price ran in the other direction, and then reached the stop-loss. I lost a lot of money, but I got good experience and made conclusions.
I was told before that this @Dusk is a very promising token, which I also wrote about before, but unfortunately I fell into the bot trap.

I spoke, but you did not listen 😅 Be careful, the bots are very aggressive.

XPL: A Revolution in Global Payments? Diving into the Unique Architecture of Plasma (XPL) Blockchain
⚡️Dear Binance Square community, Today, we are taking a deep dive into one of the most promising Layer-1 projects currently on the radar: Plasma ( $XPL ). In an era where high gas fees and slow transaction times have become the bottleneck of adoption, Plasma offers a radically different vision—a blockchain specifically engineered for global, instant, and zero-fee stablecoin payments, particularly for USDT.
Do not confuse with the XRP cryptocurrency, as beginners can often confuse them due to the similarity of names, but they are different cryptocurrencies!
Futures ^ Spot ^
🌟 What is Plasma (XPL) and Why Does It Matter? @Plasma sma is a Layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up to solve the scalability and cost issues inherent in legacy networks. Its core mission is to provide an ecosystem where any user can send and receive digital assets—primarily stablecoins—without the burden of excessive fees or delays. Imagine a world where USDT transactions cost zero and settle in seconds; that is the reality Plasma is building. 💡 How #Plasma Works: Key Technological Innovations PlasmaBFT Consensus Algorithm:Speed and Finality: At the heart of Plasma lies the proprietary PlasmaBFT consensus mechanism. This high-efficiency Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) algorithm ensures incredibly fast transaction finality. Once a transaction is confirmed, it is irreversible, eliminating the risk of chain reorganizations.Scalability: PlasmaBFT allows the network to process thousands of transactions per second (TPS). This is achieved through optimized communication between validators and efficient load balancing, making it a truly global-scale payment system.Full EVM Compatibility:The Bridge to Ethereum: One of Plasma’s major advantages is its total compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This means developers can seamlessly port their existing smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) from Ethereum-based chains to Plasma.Developer-Friendly: This compatibility significantly lowers the barrier to entry, allowing developers to use familiar tools (like MetaMask) and languages (like Solidity), accelerating the growth of the Plasma dApp ecosystem.Native Bitcoin Bridge (BTC Bridge):Expanding Liquidity: Plasma integrates a unique native bridge that allows users to securely move Bitcoin into the Plasma network. This doesn't just increase ecosystem liquidity; it opens new doors for BTC holders to utilize their assets in DeFi applications directly on Plasma while avoiding the high fees of third-party bridges.Security First: The native bridge is designed with a focus on decentralization to ensure there is no single point of failure.Zero-Fee USDT Transactions:The "Game-Changer": This is perhaps the most significant feature. Thanks to the efficiency of PlasmaBFT and a specialized economic model, the network can offer USDT transactions with zero gas fees. This changes the game for everyday payments, microtransactions, and international remittances.The Role of XPL: While USDT transactions can be feeless, the native XPL token is used for network security via staking, governance, and securing the infrastructure. 📈 Ecosystem and the Road Ahead Payment-First Focus: Plasma positions itself as the ideal solution for P2P payments, B2B transactions, and e-commerce.DeFi and dApps: With full EVM support, Plasma is attracting DeFi, NFT, and Gaming developers who need a high-speed, low-cost environment.Global Adoption: Because of its economic model, Plasma has the potential to become critical infrastructure for financial services in emerging markets where traditional banking access is limited and fees are a major barrier. 💡 Current Status and Outlook The Plasma Mainnet went live in September 2025, and the project is now aggressively expanding its reach. The recent integration into Binance CreatorPad is a strategic move to boost visibility and liquidity for XPL as the ecosystem matures. XPL is not just another token; it is a ticket to a future where blockchain payments are as simple and accessible as sending a text message.

😅 After yesterday's trouble, I decided to try to rehabilitate myself today and I'm already opening a position with $DUSK .
As I wrote earlier - this is a very strong project and the price can be quickly demolished, so you need to be careful - set a stop loss, monitor the margin or additional orders above or below the price (depending on which position to choose).
Today I decided to open a Short... lately I've been taking them easier.
According to the bot's liquidation map, it seems like it needs to move at least to $0.091, but we'll see. Yesterday's situation with $FHE shows that sometimes bots can reach a higher position in a short time to live on liquidations and stop losses (about which I wrote in the pinned post).
🚀 $DUSK & $WAL : Why These Assets Remain in the Spotlight in 2026?
In a market where bot manipulations are becoming the norm, investors are increasingly looking for projects with a solid technological foundation. Today, let’s dive into two assets showing remarkable resilience and growth: #dusk and #walrus .
🛡 @Dusk : Privacy and RWA (Real World Assets) Dusk Network continues to strengthen its position as a leading L1 blockchain for financial applications.
- Why it matters now: In 2026, as regulations tighten, the demand for privacy-compliant solutions is skyrocketing. Dusk’s ZK-proof technology allows institutional players to tokenize assets while maintaining transaction confidentiality. - Technical Outlook: We are seeing steady accumulation in key support zones, indicating strong interest from long-term holders.
🌐 @Walrus 🦭/acc : The Infrastructure Backbone While DUSK handles the financial side, WAL focuses on infrastructural interoperability and data management.
- Current Trend: The evolution of decentralized networks requires reliable value-transfer protocols. WAL shows high adaptability, integrating into an ever-growing number of DeFi protocols. - What to watch: WAL's liquidity dynamics often lead the broader market, making it an excellent tool for hedging risks in a volatile environment.
💡 Portfolio Synergy Combining these two assets provides a balanced exposure: 1) DUSK provides a stake in the privacy and tokenization sector (RWA). 2) WAL adds stability through its essential infrastructural role.

🔥 The Future of Privacy: FHE Technology, Latest News and Mind Network Token Price Prediction ( $FHE )
What is Mind Network?Recent News (January 2026)What Could Drive the Price Up?Price Forecast for 2026
@Mind Network ( FHE ) is one of the most ambitious projects in the privacy and Artificial Intelligence (AI) sectors in 2026. It is often referred to as the "Holy Grail of Cryptography" due to its use of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).
What is Mind Network? Mind Network is building the infrastructure for a "fully encrypted internet." The core feature of FHE technology is that it allows computations to be performed on data without ever decrypting it.
Why does this matter? It is critical for AI agents. For example, you can provide an AI with your medical or financial data for analysis; the AI will produce a result, but the model itself never "sees" your sensitive information in its raw form.Core Products:HTTPZ: A "Zero Trust" protocol for the web.AgenticWorld: An ecosystem for decentralized AI agents.MindChain: The first FHE-based blockchain designed specifically for AI security. Recent News (January 2026) BytePlus (ByteDance) Integration: In early January 2026, Mind Network announced the deployment of its ecosystem on BytePlus cloud infrastructure. This clears the path for implementing confidential AI into enterprise tools like Lark.FHE Privacy Bridge Launch: In collaboration with #Chainlink (using the CCIP protocol), Mind Network launched a bridge for private cross-chain transactions.Solana Ecosystem Expansion: Throughout December 2025 and January 2026, the project expanded aggressively into #solana , launching incentive programs for AI agents within that network.Exchange activity: The token demonstrated high volatility amid trading events on some exchanges that were active until mid-January 2026. What Could Drive the Price Up? The AI + Privacy Narrative: This is one of the strongest trends in 2026. The demand for data protection during AI model training is growing exponentially.2026 Roadmap:Q1 2026: Expansion of the FHE consensus network (expected 50% increase in throughput).Q2 2026: Full integration with Web2 platforms (Lark, Coze).H2 2026: Launch of MindDAO—a transition to community governance.Strong Backing: Support from @Binance Labs , @HashKey Chain , and @Chainlink provides significant fundamental confidence for investors.Scarcity: A fixed supply of 1 billion tokens (with roughly 35% already in circulation) creates potential for price appreciation as demand increases. Price Forecast for 2026 Following a sharp rally at the end of 2025 (where the token gained 540%), the price has entered a consolidation phase. Short-term (January 2026): Analysts see support in the $0.040 – $0.045 zone. If the resistance at $0.075 is broken, a quick move toward $0.10 is likely.Optimistic Scenario: If the "Private AI" narrative becomes dominant, technical targets point to the $0.139 – $0.15 range (revisiting and breaking all-time highs).Conservative Scenario: Most year-end forecasts for 2026 hover between $0.085 and $0.115, assuming steady ecosystem growth. Note: FHE is a high-tech asset with significant volatility. Its success depends heavily on how quickly FHE technology becomes "user-friendly" for mainstream developers.
🔥 @Dusk vs @Walrus 🦭/acc — Who’s the January Leader? 🔥 RWA vs AI-Storage: DUSK or WAL on January 15-16? 📊
Two heavyweights are hitting major milestones this week. Which one is on your watchlist?
⭐ #Dusk Network ( $DUSK ): The #RWA era begins. With the opening of the DuskTrade waitlist, we’re looking at moving over €300 million of European securities to the blockchain. MiCA compliance is their “unfair advantage.”
⭐ #Walrus ( $WAL ): Going beyond simple storage. Walrus is now the foundation of #sui ’s new proven AI economy. Plus, the migration from Tusky is in full swing (deadline is January 19!).
📉 Market Watch: DUSK tests institutional demand, while WAL rides the wave of the AI + Sui ecosystem.
My move: I’m following DUSK for long-term stability and WAL for high-volatility scalps.
Which narrative will win in 2026? Let me know below! 👇
zkPass (ZKP): Project News and Futures Scalping Strategy
📈 As of mid-January 2026, zkPass ( $ZKP ) has become a focal point for the crypto community following its high-profile listing on Binance. This momentum creates ideal conditions for short-term trading due to significant volatility and deep liquidity.
📰 Key Project News (January 2026) Exchange Expansion & Liquidity: Following its debut on Binance with the "Seed Tag" on January 7, 2026, the token surged by 55%, hitting a peak of $0.24. The availability of futures contracts on major platforms like Binance and OKX allows traders to utilize leverage for effective scalping. Institutional Suite Launch (Q1 2026): The team recently announced the upcoming MVP (Minimum Viable Product) targeting the banking and healthcare sectors. This fundamental driver is sustaining interest from institutional players. Token Unlock Event: Warning! On January 19, 2026, approximately 31.7 million tokens (~15% of the circulating supply) are scheduled to be unlocked. This is a critical date that could trigger increased volatility or sudden selling pressure. Staking Activation: In the coming weeks, rewards for node operators are expected to go live. This move is anticipated to temporarily reduce the circulating supply as more tokens are locked into the network.
⚡ #futures Scalping Strategy (Short-term) Scalping an asset as volatile as #ZKP requires strict discipline. Given its high daily trading volume ($30M+), we recommend a "Breakout + Volume" strategy.
1. Chart Setup: Timeframe: 1-minute (1m) or 5-minute (5m). Indicators: * VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) — to identify trend strength. -- Stochastic RSI — to find overbought/oversold zones. -- Volume — to confirm the validity of price movements.
2. Entry Point (Long): Price consolidates just below a resistance level (e.g., $0.185).A breakout occurs with an impulse candle on rising volume.Entry: Immediately after the candle closes above the resistance level.
3. Entry Point (Short — particularly relevant near Jan 19): Price fails to hold above the VWAP and begins to "stall."Large sell orders appear in the Order Book.Entry: Upon the breakdown of a local support level.
4. Risk Management (Critical!): Leverage: Use no more than 5x–10x (ZKP’s natural volatility is high).Stop-Loss: Place it behind the most recent local swing high/low (typically 0.5–1% from entry).Take-Profit: Scale out of the position once you hit a Risk/Reward ratio of $1:2$.
I also closed a #futures position with $RIVER , and it was quite successful, because the bots did not want to go lower, and my take profit was at this position.
There is still one position left, for which I will write a little later. In total, +101.94%, the benchmark on the hot liquidation map gave a good benchmark.
I forgot to add that I closed the position because the liquidation was very frequent and high (every hour)....that's how the shorts came.
Maybe the price will fall lower later, but then we will wait for the opening of a #long ))
Scalping Strategy Jan 15-16: DUSK & WAL Market Outlook
As of today, January 15, 2026, the market is exhibiting mixed sentiment. While Bitcoin attempts to consolidate above the $75,000 zone, altcoins like @Dusk Network (DUSK) and @Walrus 🦭/acc (WAL) are forming local setups for quick scalp trades. With the Fear & Greed Index currently at 27 (Fear), we are approaching these trades with caution, focusing strictly on liquidity and technical levels.
1. Dusk Network ( $DUSK ): Trading the Rebound
Current Price: ~$0.067 - $0.070 Market Context: The market is pricing in the anticipation of the Mainnet update (Q1 2026). While institutional interest in RWA (Real World Assets) is growing, a period of profit-taking has begun following a recent +20% weekly rally. Scalping Setup (15-30 min timeframe): Long Entry Zone: Look for entries in the $0.065 - $0.066 range. This area represents strong local support near the EMA50 on the daily chart.Take Profit (TP): First target at $0.071, second target at $0.074 (if trading volume exceeds $25M).Stop-Loss (SL): Below $0.063. A break below this level invalidates the bullish scenario for today.
2. #walrus ( $WAL ): Volatility Play via the Sui Ecosystem
Current Price: ~$0.145 - $0.150 Market Context: A recent 470% spike in volume driven by the CreatorPad campaign has created a high-volatility zone. WAL's integration with AI frameworks on Sui makes it highly sensitive to any developments within the Sui Foundation ecosystem. Scalping Setup (1-5 min timeframe): Rebound Entry: On dips to the $0.138 - $0.140 area. This is a "buffer zone" where the Stochastic RSI frequently signals a reversal.Breakout Entry: If the price closes a 5-minute candle decisively above $0.155, it opens a path toward $0.165.Take Profit (TP): Aim for a quick exit at $0.152 - $0.154 (capturing a 3-5% micro-move).Stop-Loss (SL): Very tight at $0.135. WAL is currently volatile; do not hold the position if the micro-trend breaks.
3. General Trading Tips for Jan 15-16 Watch Ethereum: On January 15, key corporate developments regarding Ethereum stock-for-tokens initiatives are expected. A positive outcome could provide an "upward lift" for the entire altcoin market.Peak Trading Hours: Maximum activity is expected at the opening of the New York session (09:30 AM EST / 16:30 Kyiv time). This is when volatility for #dusk and WAL will be optimal for scalping.Risk Management: Avoid using leverage higher than 5x-10x for these assets. In periods of "Fear," sudden "wicks" in both directions are common.
Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. The crypto market in 2026 remains highly volatile. Always conduct your own research (DYOR) before trading.
There are some additional reasons that can push the token price up these days.
Of course, in addition to the standard reasons in the form of news and RSI 70+ (on the hourly timeframe).
Then you need to place additional orders just in case. Of course, it is unlikely to show the same growth as $PLAY or $RIVER , because the capitalization is different, but it is interesting.
🤑 Finally finished with the supervision of $PLAY , it seemed to work out quite well.
Since I was with a leverage of x10, the liquidation price was a little closer than I wanted, and the jumps were quite sharp, so as an insurance I placed additional orders to 0.083, but it's good that they didn't work, because I don't really like such closeness.
I had to move the take profit a little at night, because I didn't see all the news at once and the growth was greater than expected.
But of course I closed the profit in parts. First at the first support levels (to get a small profit and reduce the total order, because the price was still jumping), and then by levels and on the hot liquidation map. 🔥 The overall indicator +65% seems to be not bad?
⭐For insurance, I placed additional orders every 0.005, and I placed them not at clear levels like 0.0725 or 0.072, but for example 0.0724 next 0.0729).
I want to change the leverage to x5, if there is a token with the same activity, because bots are quite actively looking for those liquidation prices and stop losses.
I am also currently considering opening shorts in $BERA and $BLUR . Good growth indicators, I just need to check the news and more indicators. If I open a Short, I will share it closer to the evening.
