**April 19th** On-chain sleuth ZachXBT has published a summary of the RAVE token market manipulation incident, noting RAVE’s price plummeted 95% over the past 24 hours—crashing straight from $26 to $1. Yesterday, he posted a call for major exchanges to probe RAVE’s manipulation, offering a $10,000 reward (later upped to $25,000). ZachXBT stated RAVE launched on Binance Alpha in December 2025 with a total supply of 10 billion tokens. A group of 9 addresses (tied to Mlm’s initial allocation) now controls roughly 95% of its circulating supply; suspicious centralized exchange (CEX) transfers were also identified in April 2026. A simple test underscores the issue: just $52 million in 24-hour settlement erased $6 billion in market cap. This lopsided ratio is a clear sign of unsustainable valuation driven by manipulation. RAVE isn’t the only token manipulated on major CEXs, but it’s the most blatant: it skyrocketed into the top 15 by market cap within 10 days of listing, then cr

April 19: On-chain analyst Murphy noted that after BTC touched $78k recently, its 24-hour average realized profit the next day hit $39.15 million—lower than when the token hit $76k on April 14. A divergence between price action and realized profit typically signals the demand side can’t absorb further profit-taking, with upward momentum fading (similar to Jan 7 and 14). A drop in weekend trading volume may also contribute. **Key Takeaway**: - If the divergence is mainly driven by demand’s inability to absorb more profit-taking, a rebound peak is confirmed. - If the main cause is weaker weekend market activity, monitor signals in upcoming trading days.
