MOVE’s Merry Jiggle: Bulls Prancing or Bears Lurking? đŸ»đŸ’ƒ

by

Ah, Movement [MOVE], that sprightly little crypto chap, decided to throw a festive jig on Wednesday, the 24th of December, prancing up a merry 13%. CoinMarketCap, ever the diligent scribe, noted that trading volume had ballooned by a positively indecent 400% in the past day-enough to make even the most stoic investor spill their tea.

Over at Binance, the MOVE/USDT pair was practically hosting a rave, with Spot trading volume doing a six-fold jitterbug compared to its usual sedate 20-day average. One imagines the traders there were either celebrating or drowning their sorrows-hard to tell which.

Curiously, the Daily Active Addresses remained as unmoved as a butler at a dull dinner party, and Weighted Sentiment hadn’t so much as twitched an eyebrow. The Dormant Circulation did stage a brief uprising on the 23rd, but Mean Coin Age continued its slow, stately ascent, like an elderly uncle climbing stairs.

All this begs the question: Were holders simply too polite to take profits, or is MOVE gearing up for another spirited gambol? đŸ€”

The Long and Winding Road of MOVE’s Misadventures

Since January 2025, MOVE has been trudging downhill with the enthusiasm of a man who’s lost his hat in a stiff breeze. Bitcoin’s bullish escapades in June and late September? Ignored. The market-wide sell-offs post the 10/10 crash? Taken as yet another cue to offload tokens faster than one discards a bad hand at bridge.

Why, you ask? Perhaps it’s the token’s unlock schedule-akin to a slow-drip torture-or the utter dearth of bullish catalysts. With only 28% of the total supply in circulation, it’s like hosting a party but forgetting to invite most of the guests. And let’s not forget the $5.89 monthly unlock, which buyers have been absorbing with all the enthusiasm of a man asked to swallow a spoonful of cold porridge.

The Case for Bullishness (Or: How to Fool Yourself in 3 Easy Steps)

Now, if you’re the optimistic sort (bless your heart), you might point to the skyrocketing daily trading volume and surging Open Interest as signs of impending glory. And yes, it does suggest short-term bullishness-much like a single sunny day in London suggests summer is nigh.

But beware, dear reader, for lurking beneath this cheerful façade are the ominous whispers of a trap. đŸ•łïž

A Trader’s Guide to Shorting (Or: How to Profit From Others’ Misery)

The CMF was gloomier than a Monday morning, though that alone isn’t reason enough to dive into short positions. The price action, however, has been painting a rather unflattering portrait: successive bearish breaks, fleeting rallies with impressive volume that fizzle out faster than a soufflĂ© in a draft.

Take, for instance, the 22nd of November and the 14th of December-days when MOVE staged gallant 55.9% and 54% rallies, respectively, only to be swiftly retraced, like a dog returning to its vomit. Charming, isn’t it?

Final Musings (Or: Why You Should Probably Just Have a Biscuit Instead)

  • Wednesday’s 13% rally was less a trend reversal and more a brief hiccup in MOVE’s otherwise tragicomic descent.
  • On-chain metrics aren’t screaming “SELL!” yet, but let’s be honest-when has optimism ever paid the bills?
