Market Analysis: MOVE Surges Against the Trend, AI Agent Sector Plunges

Highlights:

  • Trump’s World Liberty Finance (WLFI) team purchased MOVE tokens, driving a 30% intraday surge, though gains have now moderated to 17%. MOVE is an Ethereum Layer 2 project incubated by Primitive Ventures. It currently has a $1.9 billion market cap, ranking 54th globally and surpassing Optimism (OP) in Layer 2 rankings, trailing only Mantle (MNT) and Arbitrum (ARB).

General Trends:

  • Bitcoin ETFs saw small inflows, and BTC remains in a narrow trading range with $98,000 as a strong support level.
  • Ethereum (ETH) has dropped below $3,100, following overall market trends.
  • Altcoins are mostly in decline, marking a rare Lunar New Year dip compared to historical holiday uptrends.
