MYX retraces 100% of its rally – Can bulls reclaim $5 next?

Key Takeaways

Why has MYX Finance retraced all the gains made in September?

The trading volume skyrocketed during the rally last month, but it faded when MYX dipped below $10, and MYX was forced to cede almost all the gains made.

Can MYX rally to $19 once again?

A surge in trading volume above the daily average levels would likely precede such a rally. For now, with the altcoin market sentiment being extremely weak, a recovery looked unlikely.

MYX Finance [MYX] was trading at $2.93 at the time of writing. The native token of the decentralized exchange specializing in perpetual contracts rallied 1,878% in less than 10 days in September.

Retracement deepens after September peak

This rally took the prices from $0.96 to $19, but since then, a deep retracement has occurred.

Market participants hoped that key Fibonacci retracement levels would be respected as support. For a while, the 78.6% retracement level at $4.82 served as a support.

The Bitcoin [BTC] fall from $126k to $102k saw MYX retrace the entirety of September’s rally, dipping to the low of $0.886 before rebounding to a short-term local high of $4.33.

Moreover, the daily chart showed that the OBV was slowly sliding lower, showing sell pressure. Traders should watch out for sustained demand and an uptrend on the OBV to support the idea of a price recovery.

In addition, the 24-hour perp trading volume of the DEX was at $260 million at the time of writing. This was a healthy figure, although it was a noticeable drop from the late August levels of around $330 million.

Short-term expectations for MYX

Recent volatility stemmed partly from last Friday’s altcoin sell-off. If $4.33 flips to support, MYX could regain short-term strength. Until then, market structure across daily and 4-hour charts remained bearish.

We need to see clues that buyers are in control before flipping to a bullish outlook. This would occur when MYX rallies beyond the swing high at $5.6, where the bearish impulse move last week originated.

Over the past week, the $2.5 support zone has been defended.

The OBV was still in a downtrend, but it has slowed over the past three days. The MACD climbed back toward the zero line. A bullish MACD crossover would be an early clue that momentum was changing.

A Bitcoin rally toward $114k can flip the MYX sentiment bullishly in the short-term as well.

Behind Changxin Technology, Stands a Group of A-Share Companies

Changxin Technology, a leading Chinese DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) manufacturer, has passed the review by the STAR Market listing committee, moving closer to an IPO. The company, seeking to raise 29.5 billion yuan, is the first to utilize the new "pre-review mechanism" on the STAR Market, expediting its approval process within five months. As China's largest and most technologically advanced integrated DRAM company, Changxin has achieved mass production of mainstream DDR5 and LPDDR5X products. It holds the fourth-largest global market share and ranks first in China, though it still trails behind industry leaders Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron in areas like HBM technology. The company reported its first annual profit in 2025, with net profit surging to 24.762 billion yuan in Q1 2026, driven by booming AI-related demand. The IPO has drawn significant market attention due to Changxin's extensive and prestigious shareholder base. This includes state-backed funds like the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund II, industrial partner GigaDevice, internet giants (Xiaomi, Alibaba, Tencent), and several securities firms and A-share listed companies such as InfoMotion, Shangfeng Cement, and Hefei Urban Construction, which stand to benefit from the listing. The company's founder, Zhu Yiming, a pivotal figure in China's semiconductor industry who also founded GigaDevice, has committed to an unprecedented long-term lock-up of his shares and a massive personal equity incentive plan worth an estimated over 20 billion yuan for employees, excluding himself, upon listing.

Here’s Why Bitcoin Could Feel The Pressure From Surging US Equity Shorts

Bitcoin's recent pullback toward $75,000 may face further downside pressure due to developments in the U.S. stock market. An analyst warns that surging short interest in U.S. equities, now at historically high levels, could significantly impact Bitcoin. This activity reflects a complex market structure where institutional investors are increasing hedges while maintaining long positions, leading to high leverage. Concentration in AI mega-cap stocks is leaving other sectors vulnerable. Historically, Bitcoin has moved with U.S. equities during risk-off events, like the 2020 COVID crash. While it showed correlation with the S&P 500 from 2020-2022, a divergence has emerged since 2025. Bitcoin's recent volatility has been driven by its own factors like spot buying pressure and ETF inflows, suggesting it may be evolving into a hybrid asset class with its own market dynamics. However, it remains sensitive to broader macro liquidity conditions.

When Vitalik Stops Blogging to Write Sci-Fi

Vitalik Buterin, founder of Ethereum, has announced a pause in his long-form technical blogging to instead write a science fiction novel exploring decentralized governance. The story, set in a fictional nation called Veridia, follows a member of a governance body that uses complex systems like quadratic voting, privacy-preserving audits, and AI-assisted decision-making to guide society through incentive structures rather than outright bans. This creative shift comes at a pivotal moment for the Ethereum ecosystem. The Ethereum Foundation has seen significant internal upheaval in 2026, with at least nine core contributors, including key protocol leaders, departing. Just days before his announcement, Vitalik published a statement addressing this turbulence, framing the Foundation as a "smaller ship" that will now focus on core principles like censorship resistance and security, while moving from a growth-oriented to a sustainability-focused organization. The novel's themes directly mirror Vitalik's long-standing technical interests in governance mechanisms. Community reactions are mixed: some see it as a thoughtful exploration of ideas through narrative, while others view the timing—amidst core team departures and a significant drop in ETH's price—as pointedly symbolic. The move is also interpreted as a personal transition, signaling Vitalik's evolving role from a central executive figure to one of many decentralized thought leaders within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Judgment from a Crypto VC: The Final Stop is Here, All Passengers Please Disembark

A crypto VC firm declares the end of the line: the era driven by retail speculation and crypto-native ideology is over. The future belongs to the large-scale, institutional adoption of blockchain technology, stripped of its decentralized ethos. While retail became distracted by memecoins, major institutions—banks, payment giants—entered en masse, recognizing blockchain's unparalleled efficiency for value transfer. Their goal isn't to embrace decentralization but to build proprietary, controlled networks, adopting the technology while discarding its foundational philosophy. This marks the transition from a "crypto industry" to a "digital asset economy"—a foundational layer powering mainstream finance, not a separate rebellion. Trillions in assets are poised for tokenization, but largely through traditional, regulated channels. For builders and investors, the old playbook of launching low-float, high-FDV tokens for retail speculation is dead. The new imperative is to build robust infrastructure that serves institutional needs: compliance, security, and seamless integration into existing financial systems. The real opportunity lies not in fighting this shift but in enabling it, as institutions become the primary conduit for onboarding the next billion users and tokenizing the next hundred trillion dollars in assets. The game has fundamentally changed.

Looking at the Answers Before Submitting the Test? Google Engineer Entangled in Polymarket Insider Trading Case

A Google security engineer, Michele Spagnuolo, has been arrested and charged with commodities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. He is accused of using internal Google tools to access non-public data on search trends for 2025's most-searched personalities and then trading on that information via an associated account ("AlphaRaccoon") on the prediction market platform Polymarket, netting over $1.2 million in profits. A key example involved trading on the rising search popularity of singer D4vd hours after viewing the internal data. Prosecutors traced the funds from the Polymarket account through cryptocurrency swaps and privacy tools, with some proceeds eventually reaching an Italian payment account opened with Spagnuolo's identification. Google stated it is cooperating with authorities and has suspended the employee, noting the misuse of confidential information is a serious policy violation. The case highlights deeper regulatory challenges for Polymarket, which faces scrutiny over user identification and the integrity of trades based on non-public information. Polymarket has stated it is cooperating with U.S. investigators and emphasized the traceability of blockchain transactions.
