CLAWSTR Meme Coin Market Cap Plunges 95% in One Day, Multiple Profit-taking Addresses 'Sell the Top'
On February 5, GMGN monitoring shows that Base ecosystem meme coin CLAWSTR plummeted 87% rapidly at 8 a.m. ET today. Its total decline has hit 95% from yesterday’s peak, with current market cap at around $900,000 and a 90% drop in the past 24 hours.

Analyst: Dollar Rebound Strengthens Pressure on Gold and Silver Prices, Downward Pressure May Persist
February 5: Gold and silver fell during Asian trading hours, pressured by a strengthening U.S. dollar.
Fawad Razaqzada, a global macro analyst at FOREX.com, noted a strong dollar typically acts as a headwind for precious metals prices. “If this dollar rebound isn’t a flash in the pan, it could keep pressure on gold,” he said.
Razaqzada added the market is now focused on the delayed release of the U.S. official employment report. The January non-farm payrolls report, originally set for Friday, has been rescheduled to Wednesday, February 11, due to the partial federal government shutdown.
