Picture this: a token drops over 67% in a single day, and the immediate reaction from retail traders is to call it a discount.

It is the classic trap of trying to catch a falling knife because of FOMO, only to watch your capital dwindle as the floor drops even lower. Most traders struggle to separate a genuine correction from a project in terminal decline.

When $VELVET plummeted to $0.5622, shedding more than two-thirds of its value, calls immediately flooded social channels urging people to buy the dip for an easy ride back to $0.76. But a sudden 67% drop rarely happens in a vacuum. It usually points to systemic issues, developer liquidations, or a sudden loss of utility that cannot be fixed by retail hopium.

Before risking capital on distressed assets like $VELVET, it helps to compare the order book depth to more stable assets like $BNB to see if there is actually any buying interest. Without structural support and volume confirmation, a cheap token can always get cheaper.

How do you distinguish between a healthy dip and a dying project before placing a trade?
