November 7th at 12:03 PM, Beijing time, marks the official start of the Beginning of Winter in the Dinghai month. According to traditional Chinese almanac, during this period, the Horse Star is highly active, and the market tends to fluctuate wildly. Major cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, DOGE, XRP, and ADA may experience a tug-of-war in the coming days. Don’t ask me how I know—those in the know understand.

The crypto market appears to be showing signs of stabilization after recent turbulence. Bitcoin rose modestly, while XRP led the gains among large‐cap altcoins, pointing to an easing of selling pressure. Meanwhile, Ethereum also saw upticks, though its recovery remains more modest. At the same time, GT has drawn attention following the major upgrade of its ecosystem: the launch of a new Layer-2 network by the issuer and a tokenomics overhaul that positions GT as the exclusive gas token for the protocol. On the caution side, some analysts remain wary of lingering market risks. Historically, Bitcoin's four‐year cycle has influenced investor behaviour and triggered sell‐offs in the past — some traders may still be clinging to that script, which could dampen sentiment. Putting it together: the broad market may be on the verge of a consolidation phase rather than a fresh rally. BTC and ETH remain core play-styles for institutional and retail alike, XRP may offer relative upside if momentum builds, and GT stands out for its protocol developments rather than pure market speculation. As always, volatility remains high — headwinds from regulation, liquidity and macro data could still move things quickly.
