In the Crypto Assets market, some long-standing alts seem to be trapped in a difficult-to-break vicious cycle. Although these projects have actual fundamental support, and the teams are continuously updating and promoting practical applications, the market's follow-up on them has always been low.



The price trends of these coins exhibit a special pattern: they usually remain stable, occasionally experiencing a sudden increase of 10% to 20%, but quickly return to the original price level. This phenomenon reflects a subtle balance between the project parties and investors.

The project team seems to be trying to test the market reaction by making slight upward adjustments, hoping to spark some trading enthusiasm. However, when they find the market response to be lukewarm, they often quickly retract to avoid a large sell-off by coin holders.

This situation has created a "wait-and-see" scenario: retail investors are worried about getting trapped by buying at a high price and are hesitant to enter the market; meanwhile, project parties are concerned that there will be no buying pressure after a price increase and are reluctant to push prices higher. Both sides are waiting for the other to take action, resulting in the market being stuck in a stalemate.

Interestingly, these price surges often occur during the least active trading periods, such as late at night or in the afternoon, as if they are cautiously testing the market's reaction. Once they find that there are no follow-up buying orders, the project team will quickly withdraw, resulting in a striking similarity in price movements.

Over time, the market has developed a conditioned reflex where investors wait for a pullback upon seeing prices rise, while project teams hesitate to push the prices higher when they see no follow-up. This mutual wait-and-see attitude has created a cycle that is hard to break.

Although these established alts have a certain project foundation, they ultimately became stagnant coins due to a lack of market confidence and decisiveness. This situation not only reflects the indecision of the project team but also highlights the contradiction between speculative psychology and actual value in the Crypto Assets market. For these projects, how to rekindle market interest while maintaining technological innovation will be an important challenge.
