Looking at the data, $XVG is currently hovering around 0.005416 USDT, with a 24-hour increase of over 6%. Trading volume is also quite active, reaching 332 million coins. On the technical charts, the 7-day moving average has crossed above the 25-day moving average, and the MACD has shown a bullish crossover, all indicating a “bullish” sentiment. Community discussions are heating up, and it has even been listed on some platforms’ trending lists. At first glance, this appears to be a small coin gaining momentum.

But if you have a bit of market experience, you’ll sense a familiar pattern—this is just another classic “hype riding” show. Recently, in the privacy coin sector, the big player ZEC has shown some movement, and XVG seems to be a puppet pulled by a string, jumping along immediately. It lacks solid fundamentals or a unique narrative to support its price; the core driving force behind its movement is purely the sector’s hype spillover and the precise manipulation by behind-the-scenes whales.

The playbook for such coins has long been understood by the whales. They exploit the market’s short-term focus on a hot concept (like privacy coins), quickly pump the price to create a false impression of technical breakthroughs, and attract retail investors to follow. Those seemingly impressive bullish crossovers and momentum indicators can be easily manipulated with small amounts of funds in a shallow market. And that report’s line “RSI overbought and price showing rejection patterns” is a subtle warning: the momentum could fade at any moment.

Therefore, for tokens like XVG that are clearly dependent on hot topics, the strategy must be clear and disciplined: when it rises, sell; avoid holding on to the fight. Its rise is essentially “borrowed,” and once ZEC and other leaders take a breather or market attention shifts, it will fall faster and harder than anyone else. The privacy sector is hot today, and it can fly for a while; but once the hype cools, it will quickly revert to its original position, or even lower, leaving only a trail of debris.

Playing altcoins, especially these trend-following small coins, requires your own rhythm and strict rules. Don’t be fooled by short-term gains and lively discussions, and don’t believe in those “technical breakthroughs” lacking independent logic. The real rhythm is: participate cautiously when the hype is just starting and whales haven’t fully unloaded, set clear take-profit and stop-loss points, and once your targets are hit or the market sentiment shifts, exit immediately. Never turn short-term trading into a long-term hold, and never mistake speculation for investment.
