What does zero liquidity mean for a new token? It means no DEX pool holds a base asset such as BNB, ETH or a stablecoin to trade against the token. Without that pool there is no reliable price and no buyer on the other side, so anyone holding the token may be unable to sell it at all. What is token liquidity and where does it come from? On a decentralized exchange, a token does not trade against an order book full of people. It trades against a pool. The pool holds two assets side by side: the new token and a base asset such as BNB on BNB Smart Chain or ETH on Ethereum. When you buy, you put base asset into the pool and take tokens out. When you sell, you do the reverse. The value of the base asset in that pool is what people call liquidity. It is usually shown in US dollars. A deep pool can absorb a sale with only a small move in price. A shallow pool moves sharply on every trade. An empty pool cannot absorb anything. Liquidity does not appear by itself. Someone has to add it, and on ...

In spite of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) surrendering $44.8 billion and $8.9 billion of their market capitalization over the past 24 hours, through September 28, Aksel Kibar, a former fund manager, has cautioned against these cryptocurrencies falling below and hovering near their May 2026 peak. Kibar affirmed that Bitcoin and Ethereum need to move quickly away from current levels to continue their recent bull market.  “If these are short pullbacks to broken resistance levels, price needs to quickly move away from current levels, resulting in strong weekly closes,” Kibar documented on September 27. He marked a major weekly support level at approximately $82,800 for Bitcoin.  Furthermore, this chartist emphasized that this liquidity zone was previously a strong resistance level since BTC capitulated to $60,000 in February, early this year.  BTC/USD daily chart.

Pseudonymous analyst Crypto Bitlord, with a following of nearly half a million on X, predicted that Ripple’s XRP could reach the $21 mark this cycle. That’s an ambitious price target, which seems unrealistic, and the analyst got called out for his larger-than-life forecast by investors.
