ARC (ARC)

Been pretty flat for the most part and not firing a ton lately. Tried some knife catches on $ARC and got stopped on that one and also fumbled PIPPIN a few days ago. Going to try to avoid these riskier coins in these conditions and just go for 'safer' coins. Would have been up a lot more $$ had I just stuck to the list I had a few days ago and just focused on those instead of trying to be a hero

Genuinely curious if anyone knows what shady stuff is going on with $ARC / @arcdotfun I was already surprised by how well it had been performing lately. Despite a pretty weak market, it kept massively outperforming and did a clean 3–4x in about a month, seemingly for no real reason. Now it’s down like -80% overnight, with absurd volumes of nearly $400M, which is roughly 10x its entire fully diluted valuation. This is obviously heavily manipulated. What I always wonder is: why do value extractors make it so blatant? Why not at least try to make it look organic? So who are we blaming for this one? Jane Street? Chinese mafia? Classic PnD cabals? These kinds of charts and strategies get called out way too rarely, just because they usually happen in smaller projects at a smaller scale, which doesn’t change the fact that way too many clueless people are losing serious money to this stuff. If anyone has more insight, I’d genuinely love to understand what actually happened here.

A whale lost $8.2 million after liquidating a leveraged long position in the #ARC market on the #Lighter platform today. The rapid price collapse automatically triggered the "deleveraging" mechanism, helping protect liquidity providers from larger losses that could have occurred in this volatility. #بيتكوين #خسارة #حيتان #تداول

The crypto whale tried to push the token price up with a huge amount of money, but was crushed by a local player, causing the portfolio to lose about 180 million. . Here's what happened: a whale identified as 0x5F64 wanted to go big on the #Lighter platform, aiming to open a Long position on $ARC to drive the price up and earn free profit (due to low liquidity). . He transferred 8.39 million USDC as capital and then opened a Long on $ARC up to 2.1 million tokens, which at the time was worth more than $20 million. . This massive capital worked as planned, pushing $ARC up to $0.15. . But the problem arose here... this price push hit another whale who was quietly holding 16.2 million $ARC. That person had very low capital, having bought and held the tokens for two months with only $573,000. . When they saw the price being driven up, the local whale didn't wait. He gradually sold off (DCA) to counter the whale who was still buying. . He sold 9.8 million tokens at an average price of $0.115, pocketing a profit of $1.13 million, while still holding another 6.4 million tokens. . What followed was that the massive Long contract buying pressure couldn't absorb the sell pressure, and $ARC price immediately dropped sharply. . As a result, the 2.1 million Long position of 0x5F64 was forced to liquidate. From the original 8.39 million USDC capital, he could only withdraw 3.06 million USDC. . In the end, whale 0x5F64: - Lost a massive $5.3 million (about 180 million RMB) - Became liquidity for the lower‑capital trader - Failed to push the price up with big money . That's the crypto world: even big‑money players can misstep if they act at the wrong moment.
