🌙 00:00 CET – Daily Wrap-Up: Market Capitulates as Selling Pressure Accelerates Into the Close – Top Movers of the Day

• Axie Infinity and Dusk: Since 7 pm Axie Infinity has increased by 6.44%, Dusk is 5.72% higher.
  

Overview: The market narrative today was defined by persistent and accelerating selling pressure. From the onset of the session, the trend remained decisively bearish, with every minor attempt at a relief rally being met by stronger distribution. A period of fragile stabilization during the midday hours ultimately gave way to a renewed slide in the afternoon. The session concluded on an extremely weak note, characterized by a final vertical drop that pushed the market to its absolute lowest point of the day, signaling a state of capitulation among participants.

🔍 Market Insight: The broad market has entered a phase of severe distress, with the NWST1100 index plunging 5.12% over the last 24 hours. The downturn has been particularly brutal for the altcoin sector, as evidenced by Ether’s sharp 7.84% decline, which significantly underperformed Bitcoin’s 4.67% drop. This decoupling suggests a massive reduction in risk appetite as liquidity exits the market in favor of relative safety or cash. While isolated assets like AXS managed to post resilient gains, they are clear outliers in an otherwise bleeding market. The lack of any significant recovery at the daily close highlights the current technical fragility and suggests the market may still be searching for a durable support floor.

NWSBCT (Blue Chips Index): The technical profile for the NWSBCT index reflects a day of consistent breakdown. After failing to hold the 7.90 level early in the session, the index proceeded to form a series of lower highs and lower lows. A brief period of sideways movement around 7.65-7.70 proved to be a bear flag rather than a reversal, leading to a final breakdown in the evening. The index plunged past the 7.50 support level, reaching a session low near 7.41 at the midnight close. This vertical drop at the very end of the day confirms that sellers remain in complete control.

This closing update covers the day’s final session, which ran from 7:00 p.m. to midnight CET. Top Movers include 24h performance, but the primary focus is on the asset with the most significant change since the 7:00 p.m. report. 2100NEWS Indices show changes from 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. CET. 2100NEWS Total Index (NWST1100) and Bitcoin & Ether sections always reflect complete 24-hour changes, regardless of report timing.

Dusk (DUSK)

Dusk network is a decentralized blockchain protocol that provides privacy and transparency solutions for payment, communication and asset ownership transfer. It is different from the consensus mechanism of pow/pos, and introduces a new privacy oriented consensus mechanism – Byzantine protocol (SBA). Dusk is a new blockchain that provides a truly private, fast and secure streaming media mechanism – secure tunnel switching (STS). The dusk token is used to pledge and participate in the consensus. In addition, the dusk token is also used for payment transactions, deployment of DAPP and natural gas. Tokens can also be used as rewards for consensus participants. Dusk can exchange xsc based tokens in one direction and through atomic exchange. Once issued, the dusk token will be used for on chain governance within the xsc. In the dusk network, block rewards are paid through the transmission of dusk defined in the protocol. Most of all newly issued dusks will be awarded to consensus participants, while a small part will be allocated to the technology development fund, so as to create an independent funding mechanism for long-term research and development.

🌇 19:00 CET – Evening Report: Market Downtrend Accelerates as Selling Pressure Intensifies – Top Movers of the Day

• Canton Network and River: Since 2 pm Canton Network has increased by 0.95%, River by 2.44%.
  

Overview: The market narrative throughout the day has been one of consistent and aggressive devaluation. Following an early morning break below previous support levels, the price action entered a steep downward channel. A brief attempt at stabilization during the midday hours proved unsuccessful, as a secondary wave of selling pressure in the afternoon pushed the market to fresh session lows. The day concludes with a narrative of high-conviction selling and a lack of significant buyer interest at current levels.

🔍 Market Insight: The broad market, as represented by the NWST1100 index, has suffered a severe 4.54% decline over the last 24 hours. The downturn is particularly acute in the altcoin sector, with Ether significantly underperforming Bitcoin by falling over 6.8%. This decoupling suggests a flight toward relative safety within the crypto space, though even the primary market drivers are facing heavy headwinds. While Canton Network and River have managed to post gains against the trend, they remain isolated outliers in a sea of red. The acceleration of the slide in the late afternoon indicates that the market is in a phase of capitulation, where previous technical support zones are being bypassed with ease.

NWSBCT (Blue Chips Index): The technical profile of the NWSBCT index illustrates a clear breakdown of the bullish structure. After failing to hold the 7.95 resistance area late yesterday, the index entered a series of lower highs and lower lows. A critical failure occurred when the index broke below the intermediate support floor at 7.65, which subsequently acted as resistance during the midday hours. The final leg of the move saw the index plunge vertically toward the 7.51 mark, ending the session at its lowest point.

⚡ 14:00 – Midday Report:  Chart Damage Deepens as the Market Searches for the Next Support Shelf – Top Movers of the Day

• River and Axie Infinity: These cryptocurrencies have been the best performers over the past 24 hours, with Axie Infinity rising 13.77% since the morning update. 💡AXS’s rally stems from a supply crunch, technical momentum, and treasury innovation converging during a GameFi revival. While the breakout appears sustainable if $2.00 holds as support, monitor profit-taking near $2.50 – a liquidity cluster zone. Key watch: Will AXS sustain above its 200-day EMA ($1.78) to confirm a long-term trend reversal?
  

Overview: Over the last 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market has remained in risk-off repair mode. Leadership (NWSBCT) is still broken below key structure, and the total market (NWST1100) is failing to reclaim the 0.236 shelf — a setup that typically leads to further downside exploration until a stronger support zone absorbs supply. 🔍 Market Insight: NWST1100 below 0.236 keeps the bias defensive: until that shelf is reclaimed, upside attempts are statistically more likely to be temporary relief rallies. Support framework: attention shifts toward the 0.5 retracement of the Christmas rally as the next likely base-building region. Leadership failure remains the core problem: NWSBCT is not bouncing; it’s stabilising at low levels without reclaiming structure.  🧭 Strategic Read: This remains a capital-preservation phase. The market needs to find support first, then prove stability before directional conviction returns. Until leadership and structure are reclaimed, the correct posture is selective exposure, tight risk control, and patience.

☀️ 9:00 – Morning Pulse:  Chart Damage Breaks the Post-Rally Structure – Top Movers of the Day 

• River and Berachain: These cryptocurrencies have been the best performers over the past 24 hours.
• Axie Infinity has posted the crypto market’s most significant intraday gain since midnight, rising 18.90%. 💡Reduced inflation, technical momentum, and strategic bets propelled AXS’s rally, though sustaining gains requires holding $1.80 support amid broader market weakness. Key watch: Will Atia’s Legacy beta details at the next Town Hall extend GameFi rotation into AXS?

Overview: Over the last 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market has shifted from consolidation into visible structural deterioration. Blue-chip leadership (NWSBCT) has broken key support, and the total market (NWST1100) has slipped decisively below its 0.236 shelf — a strong signal that the post-rally trend has transitioned into a damage-and-repair phase. 🔍 Market Insight: The NWST1100 broke below 0.236 (~6,350.93), changing the market’s character from “pullback within structure” to downside resolution, with rebounds more likely to be corrective unless the shelf is reclaimed. Inflection framing: the former 0.236 area now becomes the first reclaim level—without it, upside attempts remain structurally fragile.  🧭 Strategic Read: This is a capital-preservation and confirmation phase. The market needs to stabilize first, then rebuild a base before any bullish thesis becomes credible again. Until leadership and structure are reclaimed, rallies should be treated as counter-trend bounces, not trend continuation.
