❄️ One Year Under the Snow: Anatomy of a Cycle & Category 1 Review
Snow-Fall.io – Annual Report & Launch of the 30/90/365 Series
❄️ One year already…
Snow-Fall.io quietly turned one year old this week.
A full year spent in the snow —
a year where markets froze, narratives dissolved, and volatility collapsed into silence.
We were born in winter.
And yet, we grew.
Not because conditions were favorable,
but because winter reveals what summer hides.
To celebrate this first year, we launch a special editorial series built around our 30/90/365 framework —
and today, we open the series with both our annual landscape analysis and a full breakdown of Category 1.
❄️ The 30 / 90 / 365 Framework
For a trader, these windows define trends.
For Snow-Fall.io, they define the climate in which infrastructure is built.
365 days shows the truth of the cycle:
what resists, what erodes, what survives the cold.
90 days captures the end of winter:
the slowing of the fall, the flattening of curves, the first cracks in the ice.
30 days reveals early movement:
micro-signals, breath under the snow, energy returning to the surface.
Reading a market through these three lenses is how we understand the landscape beneath the snow, not just the shine above it.
❄️ Snow-Fall.io After One Year — Forged in the Cold
As prices dropped, Snow-Fall.io built.
We joined the ATOM active set.
We deployed nodes across KYVE, Lava, Sentinel, Neoxa, Aethir and more.
We launched Cold Wallet Pro.
We strengthened our bare-metal footprint.
We maintained solid uptime across dozens of machines.
We grew a community — slowly, organically, without noise.
And we did all of this with no fundraising, no token, no shortcuts.
Being born in winter became our greatest strength.
🔵 Category 1 — The Upper Layer of the Landscape
(BTC · ETH · TAO · AVAX · ALGO · ATOM)
Below is the in-depth interpretation of Category 1 through our 30/90/365 lens.
The Long Term — A Year of Ice
365 days reveal a landscape frozen in place.
Bitcoin endured better than all others.
Ethereum resisted with structure intact.
TAO absorbed extreme volatility.
ALGO, AVAX, and ATOM experienced the hardest drawdowns of the cycle.
What this tells us is simple:
the market hierarchy did not change —
but the gaps between assets widened dramatically.
The Medium Term — Cracks in the Ice
The 90-day window shifts the entire mood.
The fall slows.
Curves flatten.
Some assets even show early technical rebounds.
The market doesn’t rise again,
but it stops sinking.
Bitcoin resumes its role as the metronome of the cycle.
Ethereum follows the cadence.
TAO starts oscillating again.
The others finally stabilize after a long descent.
The Short Term — Breath Under the Snow
The 30-day window brings the most delicate yet essential signals.
We see deeply negative assets turning slightly green.
We see leaders absorbing volatility.
We see bottom-of-cycle assets breathing for the first time in months.
The market is not restarting.
The market is simply breathing.
Three Profiles Shape the Landscape
The Bedrock: BTC & ETH
Strong even in the coldest conditions.
They will lead any future recovery before all others.
The High-Beta Barometer: TAO
The amplifier — fast up, fast down, fast to reawaken.
Its behavior often foreshadows the market’s appetite for risk.
The Cycle Survivors: ALGO, AVAX, ATOM
Damaged over the year,
but historically the first to rebound explosively as soon as the ice melts.
