⚠️ WARNING TO TRADERS— PRE-WEEKEND SALES: RISKS OF MASS LIQUIDATION ON BTC & ETH 📉
🔍 Context of the Day (US Sources)
As of Saturday morning, crypto markets typically experience a wave of selling before the weekend.
• Bitcoin is down about 3.5% (~$63,800), and Ethereum is down 2.8%, according to data from CoinGecko.
• US stock indices are also down (S&P 500 -1.2%, Nasdaq -1.4%), reflecting a risk-off sentiment from investors.
• Additionally, over $4.1 billion in BTC and ETH options are expiring this Saturday, which could trigger increased short-term volatility.
• Several institutional traders are reducing their exposure, thus fueling bearish market tensions. We also observe a weakening of support around $64,000.
🎯 What This Means for You Today
🛑 High potential liquidations: expirations + weekend sales = sharp movements.
🔎 Interesting entry points: pullbacks may offer good risk/reward scalping or swing opportunities.
⏳ Watch for gaps: sudden movements may occur before Sunday’s close.
📈 Some analysts believe that if BTC breaks the support at $63,000, a new bearish leg could begin before the expected recovery next week.
✅ Express Strategies
🔸Go into cautious mode until Monday morning:
🔸Adjust your stop-losses and position size
🔸Consider short or neutral positions during the options expiration
🔸Monitor in real-time: liquidation ladder, open interest, and volumes on $BTC & $ETH
🔸Use alerts to not miss key movements, especially outside of liquidity hours.
