Bitcoin just dumped $1,500 in hours, alts -5% to -10%. Here’s what’s happening:
1️⃣ Nvidia Dump 🔹 China accuses Nvidia of violating anti-monopoly law. 🔹 Nvidia tanks in pre-market → Nasdaq futures dump. 🔹 Crypto follows Nasdaq down.
2️⃣ Leverage Flush 🔹 BTC open interest at ATH while price still -7% from ATH. 🔹 Whales flushed excess leverage → $2B wiped today. 🔹 A healthy reset before the next move.
3️⃣ Market De-Risking 🔹 FOMC decision in 2 days (25bps cut almost certain). 🔹 Powell’s hawkish tone + CPI near 3% spooks markets. 🔹 Derisking before bullish events = common play.
💡 My Thoughts Markets don’t move in a straight line. Big money is loading at better entries before Q4.
