What is Snapshot ?
Traditionally, the term snapshot refers to the ability to record the state of a computer system or storage device at a specific point in time. In cryptocurrencies, a snapshot is often describing the act of recording the state of a blockchain on a particular block height. In this case, the snapshot records the contents of the entire blockchain ledger, which includes all existing addresses and their associated data (transactions, fees, balance, metadata, and so on).
Snapshots are commonly used during airdrops events before each round takes place. During an airdrop, tokens are distributed based on the balance of each blockchain address. In this case, snapshots are taken to record the balance of each token holder, at a specific point in time (i.e., block height). In most cases, users can move their funds after the snapshot is taken, without compromising their eligibility to participate in that round of distribution.
Snapshots are also important during blockchain hard forks, as they mark the block height in which the main chain will be recorded before giving birth to the new chain. For instance, when the Bitcoin Cash hard fork took place (on August 1st, 2017), every blockchain address that had Bitcoins at block 478,558, had the balance copied on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. The reason for that is because both blockchains share the same historical data prior to the fork. As soon as the split is done, each blockchain network will operate independently.
According to #Glassnode, a number of long-term holders cut their losses two days ago, sending more than $430 million in Bitcoin to the exchange on January 22.
Recently, short-term and long-term hodlers have stopped taking profits, but switched to cutting losses.
Here is the analysis of #SUPER:
The price is currently fluctuating within the support and resistance zones. There is a possibility of a movement towards the support zone, presenting an opportunity for new entries in that area. Note that a small downtrend line acts as a resistance area, and a downtrend channel is observed on lower time frames. The overall structure is bearish until we see a test of the support zones.
Keep a close eye on the price dynamics, especially around the support and resistance zones, for potential market setups.
#BTC created the low around $38,550, nearly reaching the area of support. Still anticipated price to reach either end of the zone (a clean retest or tap in into support). Daily TF, build up a support where, retest are high probable, also price travelling inside the downtrend channel pattern and breakout of that and resistance would be considered as bullish.

What Are Laser Eyes?
The laser eyes meme, popularized on Twitter, symbolizes a bullish stance on Bitcoin's price, aiming for $100,000. Advocates of this trend, exhibiting strong confidence in Bitcoin's future, are often characterized by "diamond hands," signifying a long-term HODL strategy to accumulate more BTC. Originating from the #LaserRayUntil100 hashtag in February 2021, the meme involves users adding red (or varied colored) laser beams to their profile pictures for 24 hours, with some adopting it permanently.
Initially associated with superheroes, laser eyes became a symbol of extraordinary power. Influential figures like Elon Musk, Tyler Winklevoss, Tom Brady, US Senator Cynthia Lummins, and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele have supported the laser eyes campaign, showcasing their backing for Bitcoin. Even Ricardo Salinas Pliego, Mexico's third wealthiest individual, has expressed his support for BTC through this viral meme.

What Is an Initial Game Offering (IGO)?
Initial Game Offering (IGO) launchpads are the latest trend in the crypto world and the concept is similar to Initial Coin Offering (ICO). The only difference is that in IGOs, the platform hosts gaming projects that are based on NFTs or tokens as their in-game currency and rewards.
Investors can put their funds into the gaming projects offered by IGO launchpads and expect significant ROI once that gaming project is launched on major crypto exchanges or gains popularity in the ever-increasing gaming community.
With the rise of blockchain gaming, IGOs are becoming the next big thing in the crypto space. Games like Axie Infinity (AXS), CryptoBlades (SKILL), and Alien Worlds (TLM) have thousands of daily active users. Axie Infinity is currently leading the pack with over $1.1 billion USD in sales so far in 2021. While Axie Infinity has launched its initial token sale of $AXS on the Binance launchpad, players in the game earn income primarily from its Smooth Love Potion ($SLP) token. $SLP are obtained by completing daily quests, competing with other players (PvP) and battling monsters in adventure mode (PvE). Players can trade $SLP to fiat on exchanges like Binance, and users in the Philippines can check the SLP exchange rate to PHP directly on CoinMarketCap.
Owing to this huge popularity, several IGO launchpads have surfaced, including Gamefi (GAFI), Enjinstarter (ENJINSTARTER), Gamestarter (GAME), Seedify.fund (SFUND), and others.
IGOs may seem a good investment, however, before investing in any IGO platform or projects that are in its initial game offering (IGO) phase, a few things should be considered:
See the holder benefits of the native tokens. Check the percentage of benefits and compare them with other IGOs.
—> Check whether the IGO launchpad is providing guaranteed allocation. This may cost higher than IGO launchpads that use a lottery mechanism; however, in that case, allocation is not guaranteed.
—> Evaluate the ROI of the active IGOs offered on the platform. A launchpad with a history of good projects is likely to provide major returns on most of its upcoming projects.
—> Check the launchpad's holder value which acts as a performance metric for any IGO launchpad. A high holder value amounts to a higher token valuation, which implies that investing in that IGO may prove to be beneficial.
—> Check the number of token generation events of an IGO launchpad. A higher number of events imply the platform strives to host quality initiatives to boost its overall valuation.
#BITCOIN DAILY TF UPDATE :
#BITCOIN pinpoint and precisely, from levels to level, pushed due to #ETF news but ended up being rejected from the Resistance Area of $47,000. Price again tapped into the major level (Grey Box) around $42,000, where rejection might happen. Structure now turned bearish, so careful with any sort of fresh trade now.

Here is the analysis of #TRX:
Price seized the liquidity and gained momentum. There is a high probability of a move towards the $0.108-$0.110 resistance zone. Wait for sometime and see how price reacts on the resistance and consider opening long positions only after a breakout above the resistance zone.
What Is Impermanent Loss?
Impermanent loss can arise when there is a price discrepancy between the two assets a trader holds on a DEX, usually a cryptocurrency and a stablecoin (such as USDC). When the price of the cryptocurrency falls relative to the stablecoin, the trader can experience a loss due to the difference in prices. This is known as impermanent loss.
How Does Impermanent Loss Work?
Impermanent loss occurs when traders use a DEX to buy one asset with another asset. For example, if a trader buys Ethereum using USDC, then the trader is exposed to the price movements of both assets. If the price of ETH falls relative to USDC, the trader’s profit from the trade will decrease or even become a loss. This is because they have to sell the ETH at a lower price to get back to the original USDC amount.
Let’s imagine that a provider needs to offer equal levels of liquidity in both USDC and ETH but suddenly, the price of ETH goes up. This creates an opportunity for arbitrage because the price of ETH in the liquidity pool now doesn’t reflect the market price. Other traders will buy ETH at a discounted rate until the equilibrium is restored.
After arbitrage, a liquidity provider may end up with a greater amount of USDC and slightly less ETH. Impermanent loss is the difference between the trader's new portfolio balance and what they would have had if they had just held on to their old balance. The loss is realized when a trader withdraws the liquidity from the pool.
How to Avoid Impermanent Loss?
One way to prevent impermanent loss is to use stablecoins, such as USDC and DAI, or wrapped versions of the same assets like wBTC offered by Curve. Balancer also offers arbitrary weights for its liquidity pools different from the 50/50 model, which can reduce the risk of impermanent loss if a token has a higher weight in the pool.
Additionally, a few DeFi protocols are beginning to explore innovative solutions like price oracles used by Bancor, and single-sided liquidity pools employed by Tokemak, where the protocol’s native token absorbs the risk of impermanent loss in exchange for swap fees and bribe rewards.
Impermanent loss can also be minimized by setting up a portfolio of assets that are relatively well-correlated. This way, when the prices of the assets diverge, the portfolio will remain relatively balanced, and the trader can avoid any unexpected losses.
Here's the Analysis of #HIFI :
#HIFI kinda giving fakeouts over, the large consolidation range tapping into the Major Support Zone of $0.51 - $0.52 and Strong Resistance around $0.83 - $0.85.

What Is Hard Peg?
A "hard peg" refers to a fixed exchange rate system in which the value of one country's currency is directly tied to another major currency or a basket of currencies. In a hard peg, the exchange rate is set and maintained rigidly by the government or central bank, and it doesn't fluctuate in response to market forces like supply and demand.
The goal of a hard peg is to provide stability in international trade and financial transactions. However, maintaining a hard peg requires active intervention by the central bank to buy or sell currencies to keep the exchange rate within the specified limits.
An example of a hard peg is a currency board system, where a country's currency is pegged to another major currency, and the central bank holds reserves in that currency to ensure the fixed exchange rate. The Chinese yuan's peg to the U.S. dollar from 1994 to 2005 is another historical example of a hard peg.
Another Example: Tether (USDT) and US Dollar Peg:
Tether (USDT) is a widely used stablecoin in the cryptocurrency market. It is designed to maintain a 1:1 peg to the U.S. dollar. This means that 1 USDT is intended to be equivalent to 1 U.S. dollar.
While Tether doesn't operate under a traditional hard peg system with a central bank, it claims to achieve its peg by holding reserves of U.S. dollars in a 1:1 ratio to the circulating supply of USDT. Users and investors can theoretically redeem their USDT for U.S. dollars at a fixed exchange rate.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of such pegs can be subject to scrutiny and regulatory concerns. The stablecoin market has seen the development of various models, including those backed by fiat reserves, algorithmic stability mechanisms, or a combination of both. The level of decentralization and transparency in maintaining the peg can vary among different stablecoins.
#CHZ has broken out of the triangle pattern and the major resistance area with substantial volume. If you're holding long positions, consider moving your stops to the breakeven point.

What Is an Initial Dex Offering?
Initial dex offerings, or IDOs, are tokens that represent any type of asset hosted on a decentralized exchange (DEX) — an IDO is when a project launches a token through a decentralized liquidity exchange. IDOs can be created for anything from cryptocurrency to a music album, to aether powered battle ships. IDOs offer businesses a tool for engaging their communities in an economy that both enriches their products and services while allowing them to make smart business decisions regarding their assets.
In the same way that traditional startups receive venture capital before launching, projects issuing initial DEX offerings receive financing from individual investors. Unlike an initial public offering, investors in initial dex offerings never own any equity in the project.
IDOs have some benefits that may make them more attractive than ICOs and IEOs: immediate liquidity, immediate trading and lower costs for listing.
An initial DEX offering or IDO refers to the launching of a cryptocurrency on a decentralized exchange (DEX). In an IDO, a blockchain project makes a coin’s first public debut on a DEX in order to raise funding from retail investors. IDOs have similarities with initial exchange offerings (IEOs), where crypto projects launch their token and raise funds via a centralized exchange, since both allow immediate trading on top of raising funds. However, centralized exchanges impose strict ground rules including:
—> Payment of a huge sum or offering a portion of the tokens to the exchange;
—> Prohibiting the project from listing their token on competing exchanges;
—> Having very small leeway in controlling the parameters of a project’s token sale.
IDOs, on the other hand, can offer a far more cost-effective token sale and listing model. Firstly, an IDO provides quick liquidity with little to no slippage through available liquidity pools in a DEX. Relatively, it has cheaper listing costs. And like IEOs, it allows instantaneous trading.
Examples of DEXs that offer IDO services include Binance DEX, Polkastarter and Uniswap. Most traders also prefer IDOs over ICOs since IDO listings prevent the issuer of the tokens from controlling how the fundraising round will go. One of the first IDOs launched in the space was RAVEN, which was listed in Binance DEX in June 2019.
#BTC.D is made a retest but failed to create a lower low, instead given a break and close above of the Resistance Area.

Still, there's index reached area, so alts will react and might jump a little bit.
