🎢 Avantis ($AVNT): Surviving the Savage Swings of Crypto
The crypto market is not for the faint of heart. Its price action often feels wild, unpredictable, and even senseless to those unprepared for the volatility. Avantis ($AVNT) recently delivered a perfect example of this reality, with dramatic swings that punished late entries while rewarding disciplined buyers who understood the structure.
Buying near the red support line seemed safe for many traders, but as price action unfolded, it became clear that safety in crypto is never guaranteed. Volatility is not just noise — it is the very nature of the market. Sharp pullbacks, sudden rallies, and relentless liquidity hunts are part of the game, designed to shake out weak hands while giving patient, prepared traders opportunities to enter at prime levels.
For $AVNT, the swings have been especially brutal yet rewarding. After a powerful run-up that delivered over 90% gains from recent lows, the token faced a wave of profit-taking and corrective pressure. Those who bought the breakout at higher levels found themselves underwater quickly as the price retraced. But those who positioned at strong support zones, including the red line on the chart, captured the volatility rather than being trapped by it.
This highlights one of the most important lessons in trading: entries matter more than emotions. In fast-moving markets, the illusion of safety fades quickly when volatility spikes. Traders who rush in without a plan often end up shaken out, while those who patiently wait for tested support zones and risk-managed entries ride the waves with more confidence.
The current $AVNT structure shows both the pain and the opportunity of crypto swings. From the red line entry, the potential upside toward $1.10–$1.20 remains intact, but the path will not be smooth. Every rally leg brings both opportunity and risk, and traders must treat volatility as a weapon rather than an enemy. Risk management, stop placement, and cash reserves are not optional — they are survival tools in an environment where swings can wipe out gains in minutes.
In the bigger picture, these savage swings are not signs of weakness but signs of life. They show that liquidity is flowing, that buyers and sellers are actively battling, and that strong hands are accumulating when weak hands are flushed out. For $AVNT, each reset is not just a setback but a staging point for the next move, provided traders approach it with patience and discipline.
The lesson is simple yet powerful: in crypto, nothing feels safe, but those who respect volatility and plan around it thrive where others get shaken out. $AVNT’s swings may look brutal now, but for those who understand the game, they are exactly where the real opportunities are born.

Markets Brief: Can a Bumper Fed Rate Cut Give Stocks Another Boost?

Markets Brief: Can a Bumper Fed Rate Cut Give Stocks Another Boost?
US Companies Are Absorbing Tariff Inflation
Inflation was in the spotlight last week as commentators sought evidence of tariff impacts and an indication of future interest rate policy in the latest data. But producer price inflation was benign, falling to 2.6% over the last year from 3.1% the previous month. This decline in headline PPI primarily reflects a decline in trade margins, as wholesalers and retailers absorb inflation from tariffs by reducing their profit margins rather than passing these costs onto consumers.
This stands in sharp contrast to the postpandemic period when these companies sought to boost their margins under the cover of broader inflationary pressures. This more cautious approach may indicate a lack of confidence in the strength of the US businesses to withstand higher prices. Although consumer price inflation remains above target, it was in line with expectations and consequently reinforced expectations of forthcoming interest rate cuts. In response, the US dollar fell on Thursday, ending the week down 0.3%.
Long-Term Treasury Yields Fall
Within the Treasury markets, the most notable move came from the 30-year yield, traditionally seen as a measure of financial stability, which fell to its lowest level since the announcement of the tariffs in early April. The show of confidence among investors coincided with news that the Supreme Court will fast-track a judgment on the authority of President Donald Trump to use emergency powers to impose tariffs.
Tariffs Show Investors Have Short Memories
While the judgment of the Supreme Court is unknown, the waning impact of tariffs in the minds of investors can be seen from the performance of Morningstar’s tariff exposure basket, an unweighted collection of companies identified by our analysts as being especially vulnerable to tariffs. Having fallen on average 22% from the start of the year to April 8 when we launched the basket, the price of these companies has subsequently risen by an average of 25%, with several up over 100%, including Wayfair W, Kohl’s KSS, and Western Digital WDC.
This is a reminder of how quickly important economic and geopolitical events can fade in the minds of investors, even while the outlook is still uncertain. Similar insouciance in the face of political and economic uncertainty was also evident in French stocks, which rose 1.8% in a week when the country welcomed its sixth prime minister in five years. It would be easy to interpret these outcomes as evidence that investors are becoming more comfortable with political uncertainty. However, such a conclusion must be tested through the next significant crisis before we could have any confidence in that argument.
Oracle Stock Price Soars
Technology investors had plenty of news to digest last week, with several capital raisings, including the IPO of Klarna, new products from Apple AAPL, and eye-popping results from Oracle ORCL. Oracle’s impressive growth triggered a 42% increase in its stock price on Wednesday, briefly making founder Larry Ellison the world’s richest man and helping the information technology sector to a 2.8% gain over the week. It also prompted a change in Morningstar analyst Luke Yang’s assessment of Oracle’s fair value estimate. Apple, in contrast, failed to impress investors, a dangerous outcome for a company trading at an expensive valuation. Technology gains also drove the consumer discretionary sector 1.3% higher as Tesla TSLA rose 12.8% on the announcement that it has gained approval to test its robotaxi in Nevada.

Дропы мертвы? (не опять, а снова)
Ребят, привет! Несмотря на то, что рынок сейчас довольно бычий, проекты не спешат выходить, а те, которые выходят, совсем не радуют.
Не поверите, но в этом канале уже выходил такой пост практически ровно год назад.
Тогда вышли Starknet, ZKSync и LayerZero — так называемая "золотая тройка" — тир-1 проекты, на которые все возлагали огромные надежды.
Однако какого-то фурора они не произвели.
Сейчас ситуация немного другая, на рынке практически нет тех самых ультра-мега-топовых проектов, которые крутят все (разве что Monad и Nuts Farm).
Понятное дело, что такой расклад позитива не добавляет.
А если учитывать, что по естественным причинам людей в крипте становится всё больше и больше, то ситуация выглядит совсем грустной.
Дропы перестали быть андерграунд темой — сейчас все прекрасно понимают, что у любого проекта будет либо токен и дроп, либо он просто прекратит работу 💀
Но это совершенно не значит, что зарабатывать на них больше нельзя. Главное — метить в правильные проекты и заводить чуть больше аккаунтов.
▪️ Вспомните Movement, Initia, Iota, Arkham, а также дроп от Pudgy Penguins в прошлом году.
Негативных примеров, конечно, было больше — KiloEx, Camp, Linea, Zora, Sahara, Succinct, Blum (список можно продолжать).
Я бы сказал, что сейчас возможности заработка немного смещаются от классических дропов к более нишевым темам, например, к социальной активности в твиттере (Kaito, Ethos), получение ролей в дискорде или закупке телеграм-подарков.
Всё больше играет скорость реакции — вам нужно буквально всегда быть на чеку, иначе потом "темку убьют".
▪️ В связи со всем этим я бы посоветовал вам найти альтернативу, которая подходит под текущий тренд.
Это, опять же, может быть фарм ролей, активность в твиттере, подарки, стикеры, или даже построение своего блога/проекта.
Это будет вашей подушкой безопасности на случай, если традиционным дропам станет ещё хуже.
Тут я просто обязан был вставить рекламу Prime, но, наверное, вы и так знаете, что в нашем приватном сообществе мы держим руку на пульсе, и уже готовы ко всевозможным изменениям рынка.
Об этом говорят и последние результаты заработка.
