January 18, 2026 - Sector Classification The price movements of Bitcoin and Ethereum are correlated, and altcoins are also crucial. Price fluctuations are market behaviors, and we need to find the logic within these market behaviors. Especially for those of us primarily trading altcoins, we need to understand that altcoins will inevitably decline in the long term, but we are trading on short-term trends. Short-term trading is driven by sentiment and involves quick in-and-out trades. To capture short-term market opportunities, we need to build a solid foundation, understand sector classification, identify the leading and second-leading coins in each sector, and find related sectors. Each sector needs to be manually categorized because the classification of sectors on any given platform is not very precise, which is one reason why a solid foundation is not established. There are many sectors, such as lending, DEX, NFT, L1, L2, storage, AI, staking, DeFi, etc. Each sector has coins with different main chains, and it's necessary to distinguish between them. Let's take the DEX sector as an example. How to differentiate DEX sectors: ASTER is built on the BSC chain. AVNT is built on the BASE chain. HYPE is its own public chain. MET is built on the SOL chain. MYX is built on the BSC chain. Although they are all sectors, the chains are different. Each sector on each chain does the same thing, but there are more than one token. Simply put, they are all grouped into the DEX sector, but when the DEX sector explodes, every coin will rise from time to time. The DEX sector can be grouped into the ecosystem of the main chain. So when the main chain rises, the ecosystem rises as well. When the DEX sector becomes popular, it has a chance to rise together. Of course, it is still necessary to distinguish between the top and second-ranked tokens. For example, HYPE is the leader, and the second-ranked one is yet to be determined! This is a complete method for differentiating a single sector. Sector classification is rather general. If you break it down further, you will find that it is not so simple! I only work with altcoins, so my research on altcoins is more specialized. The confidence behind every decision comes from whether I have done enough basic research.

I'm still reeling from the Binance BNSOL backdoor—I nearly lost everything, with 600 positions liquidated at a breathtakingly low price. This painful experience serves as a reminder to all CEX and DEX operators: When developing DeFi products, leverage should never be used recklessly, as it will only harm users.

Lately, with M-Coin inflows slowing, everyone's been ignoring the $BNB chain. But this silence may be the biggest sign yet—profitable wallets are still quietly accumulating gains.

According to BlockBeats, on July 26, according to Coinglass data, the current mainstream CEX and DEX funding rates show that the market is still in a neutral trend. The specific mainstream currency funding rates are shown in the attached figure. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are the rates set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain a balance between contract prices and underlying asset prices, and are usually applicable to perpetual contracts. It is a fund exchange mechanism between long and short traders. The trading platform does not charge this fee. It is used to adjust the cost or benefit of traders holding contracts to keep the contract price close to the underlying asset price. When the funding rate is 0.01%, it indicates the base rate. When the funding rate is greater than 0.01%, it means that the market is generally bullish. When the funding rate is less than 0.005%, it means that the market is generally bearish.
