👉 If you’ve been following for the past year, you’ve probably seen countless charts showing how $MSTR tends to front-run Bitcoin.

Well… here’s another one. 👀

$MSTR is now testing a major support zone from mid-2024.

History suggests Bitcoin is likely to follow — which is why I’ve set my first limit buy at $75,000.

Sometimes the charts speak louder than the headlines. 🔥

🚀 Bitcoin Liquidation Map: The Short Squeeze is Primed! 💥
Look at this chart. The imbalance is absolutely extreme, and it tells a powerful story about where Bitcoin is headed next.
The current setup shows a massive accumulation of short liquidation leverage just above the current price ($84,176).
📈 The Setup: "The Dynamite"
The key takeaway from the Bitcoin Exchange Liquidation Map is the overwhelming weight of cumulative short positions waiting to be liquidated as the price moves higher.
• The green line, representing Cumulative Short Liquidation Leverage, is soaring dramatically. This indicates that billions of dollars in leveraged short bets have been placed at prices just above the current level.
• The market is overwhelmingly leaning to the short side. This extreme imbalance is not a sign of a healthy top; it’s a coiled spring waiting to explode.
🔥 The Trigger: "The Match"
You are absolutely right: This extreme imbalance to the short side is the dynamite needed to run Bitcoin back up!
All we need now is the match—a small bullish catalyst (a big buy order, positive news, or a minor short squeeze) to start the chain reaction.
• As the price ticks up, the first cluster of short positions gets liquidated.
• These forced liquidations involve the exchange buying BTC to cover the short, which in turn pushes the price even higher.
• This triggers the next cluster of liquidations, creating a powerful, self-reinforcing short squeeze that can send BTC flying past $90,000 and beyond.
The fuse is lit. Get ready for volatility

👉 No need to rush, in my view.

After a move this big, markets usually need time to breathe.

💡 Uptrends: People FOMO in after a massive move and often get chopped — even if the market eventually keeps climbing.

💡 Downtrends: Even if the bottom is already in, traders can still get whipsawed by time-based capitulation.

Sharp, instant reversals after a move like this? Rarely happen.

The smart play: let the market show more price action, react accordingly, have a clear plan with invalidation points, and take it slow. Patience is often the edge.

💥 Bitcoin ETF Buyers Face Their First Big Test! 📉
The Market's About to Get Real.
For the wave of new investors who piled into Bitcoin via the recent spot ETFs, the honeymoon might be officially over.
Many of these buyers are coming from traditional finance and have never navigated the infamous volatility of the crypto market, especially sharp drawdowns. They are about to face their first major stress test.
The Crux of the Issue:
• New to Volatility: These investors are simply not used to crypto drawdowns. They've enjoyed the upward trend since the ETF launch, but haven't experienced a deep, sustained dip.
• Panic Potential: If their positions go "underwater"—meaning the current price drops below their average purchase price—we could see a new wave of panic selling. This group has never been truly tested before.
🚨 The Key Level to Watch: $79.3k
Keep a close eye on the technical support around $79,300. A break below this level could trigger that untested panic selling, accelerating the downside.
Will the ETF buyers hold the line, or will they become the next source of market volatility? Only time will tell, but get ready for some major price action.

🚨 Crypto Funds Are Bleeding Cash 🚨

Investors are pulling money out at a record pace. Last week alone, crypto funds saw $2.0B in outflows — the largest since February.

This marks the third straight week of selling, bringing total outflows to $3.2B.

💥 Bitcoin led the charge with $1.4B leaving, while Ethereum dropped $689M — some of the largest weekly losses of the year.

The impact? Average daily outflows as a % of AUM are now at all-time highs.

Combine this with falling prices, and total assets under management have dropped 27% from October’s peak, down to $191B.

This isn’t just a hiccup — it’s a structural decline. Crypto is going through a real shakeout, and the capital flight shows it. 🔥

🔥🔥🔥 Williams’ speech this morning blew the doors open on expectations for the December 10 FOMC meeting.

For months we’ve argued that this year’s FOMC voters see their role differently — they want to act independently, not simply rubber-stamp whatever the Chair prefers. Today’s developments suggest that view might finally be true.

At this point, Fed-watching feels like political whip-counting: tallying each voter’s public comments to see which camp can secure the magic number — 7 votes for a majority.

Here’s where the scoreboard stands:

🟥 5 voters clearly against a December rate cut:
Barr, Musalem, Schmid, Goolsbee, Collins

🟩 5 voters openly favoring a cut:
Miran, Waller, Bowman, Williams, Cook

⬜ 2 still unaccounted for:
Powell and Jefferson

If the Fed really is shifting toward genuine independence, the final result should be a 7–5 vote in one direction or the other.

But if they fold back into the old pattern — a near-unanimous 10–2 or 11–1 vote (absent a sudden market crash) — then every FOMC member who isn’t the Chair risks seriously damaging their credibility.

This meeting is shaping up to be the most politically revealing one in years.

$BTC WEEKLY

🔥 Bitcoin has lost the 50 MA as support for only the 4th (or maybe 5th) time in history.

📉 Historically, this has always led to a test of the 200 MA below (red circles) — though the sample size is small.

⚠️ At the same time, the 50 MA has always acted as resistance on the way down (grey circles).

If history is any guide, even if BTC eventually heads toward ~$56,000 at the 200 MA, it’s likely to revisit the $103,000 zone at the 50 MA first.

For traders, not long-term holders, this could be a prime opportunity to take profits before the next leg down.

Markets rarely move in a straight line — and history often gives us the roadmap. 🔥

🔥 Arthur Says “BTC Is Nearly Bottomed — Don’t Be the One Selling the Lows.”

Arthur breaks it down in a way that hits right at the core of this market cycle:

⸻

🖤 1. Watch the U.S. Investors — They’re Still the Key Sellers

According to Arthur, the next big tell isn’t the chart…
It’s whether U.S. investors are done puking their bags.

He argues that:
• The bulk of the forced selling is coming from the U.S. side
• Once that flow dries up, the market stabilizes fast
• Bottoms are formed not when sentiment is bullish, but when sellers exhaust themselves

In other words: stop staring at price — watch the flow.

⸻

🖤 2. The AI Stock Meltdown Could Trigger More Fed Liquidity

Arthur points to something the broader market is ignoring:

The recent AI stock breakdown threatens a big chunk of U.S. equity wealth.
And when equities wobble… the Fed historically steps in.

His message is simple:

“If AI stocks keep blowing up, the Fed will be forced to pump liquidity again.”

More liquidity → weaker dollar → stronger hard assets → crypto becomes an automatic beneficiary.

This is the exact feedback loop he’s betting on.

💭 Some Bitcoin Thoughts

Even though BTC is down ~35% from the highs, it doesn’t yet scream “obvious long” to me—unlike the April lows. Could be hinting at a bigger market shift, but that’s not the focus right now.

📊 Orderflow & Market Observations:
• Perpetuals still don’t look like they’re in enough pain.
• Spot orderbook is defending the lows.
• Put skew is not too elevated on Deribit, but high on IBIT and CME—I take that as a signal.

📈 Price Action:
• We’re revisiting the April consolidation that led to a leg up, so some support is likely here.
• Trend-wise, this move is the most extended since 2022 relative to MAs and other measures.

🔥 DECEMBER RATE CUT ODDS JUST SURGED TO 66% — IT’S NOW A VIRTUAL LOCK.

Normally, a move like this would rocket-fuel crypto. But the market is still behaving like it needs a few more forced sellers to get washed out before any real upside can stick.

If that selling pressure finally eases?
📈 This shift in expectations could ignite a violent relief rally.

🔥 $BTC CAPITULATION EVENT UNFOLDS: A FAMILIAR SCENE RETURNS

The stench of realized loss is thick in the air. Bitcoin is currently witnessing a capitulation cascade, with losses surging to a level not seen since the catastrophic implosion of FTX.

The Source of the Bleed: Short-term holders—the weak hands—are leading the panic-fueled exodus. They are unwinding their positions at a staggering scale and speed, dumping coins into the downturn.

What This Really Means: This isn't just a dip; it's a violent purge. The "marginal demand" from late-coming, impatient buyers is being systematically washed out of the market. It's the painful, yet necessary, process of flushing out leverage and speculation.

The Silver Lining: History shows that such intense periods of capitulation, while brutal, often plant the seeds for the next sustainable rally. The weak are selling, and the strong are accumulating. This is the cycle renewing itself.

🔥 Zooming Out: Embracing the Necessary Evil of the Bear Market
> This 1-week chart reminds us that the "Bear Market lol" isn't a disaster—it's a cyclical necessity.
> Look at the clear, repeating pattern:
> * Multi-Year BTC.D Ascent (Black line) \rightarrow Capital flows into Bitcoin.
> * BTC.D Breakdown + ETH/BTC Rally (Green box, "Alt szn") \rightarrow Capital rotates aggressively into alts.
> * Extended Consolidation/Decline (The current phase, labeled "Bear Market lol") \rightarrow The market digests the excess, washes out weak hands, and sets a base for the next cycle.
> We are now in that digestion phase. Instead of panicking over price, view this as the reset period. The extreme volatility and euphoria of the bull run are over, and the patient process of value accumulation begins.
> The bear market is where the groundwork is laid for the next historic price surge. Don't be fooled by the laughter on the chart; this is serious business for long-term builders and investors.

🚨 U.S. Manufacturing PMI Alert! 🚨 The 09:45 AM ET Showdown is Here! 🇺🇸

The fate of the market hangs in the balance with the US Manufacturing PMI dropping at 09:45 AM ET! Get ready for a potentially massive swing in the crypto and altcoin space. Here's your cheat sheet for what could happen:

📈 The Altcoin AVALANCHE Scenario:
• If PMI > 52.5: Prepare for liftoff! A strong reading could signal robust economic health, leading to a surge of risk-on sentiment.

⚖️ The Steady State Scenario:
• If PMI \approx 52.0: Expect things to stay stable. A reading near this mark is likely priced in, meaning the market will probably STAY FLAT and consolidate. Nothing to see here... yet. 😴

📉 The "REKT" Scenario:
• If PMI < 52.0: Brace for impact! A weak number could spook investors, driving funds out of riskier assets. The result? ALTS GET EVEN MORE REKTED! Find your nearest bunker! 📉💥

🚨 BITCOIN ALERT: RSI HAS BROKEN ITS CYCLE TRENDLINE.

Historically, every major macro top showed the same pattern:
• RSI trendline gets breached
• Price reverses sharply
• The entire cycle resets

2025 is now signaling the same potential scenario.

If this marks another cycle shift… the next phase could be full capitulation.

🔥🔥🔥 Market sentiment has hit a psychological breaking point. The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index has collapsed to its lowest reading of the entire cycle, crashing to 11/100 and firmly anchoring itself in the zone of “Extreme Fear.”

So what does this actually signal? It means the average investor is more shaken now than at any moment in recent years. Fear has completely drowned out rational decision-making.
From a strategic perspective, this is the perfect time to recall one of the core truths of crypto: the crowd is almost always wrong at the extremes.

Yes, stepping in when panic peaks is uncomfortable — even risky — but historically, these exact moments of overwhelming fear have offered some of the best high-return entry points for those who can stay level-headed and think beyond the chaos.
When the market is this emotional, disciplined contrarian thinking becomes not just useful, but essential.

🔥🔥🔥 $BTC $82K , I was right
$BTC #BTCVolatility #USJobsData

$BTC is sitting at a make-or-break level.

This is the last major support area before the ~$70K lows from April, and multiple signals line up right here.

My approach:
• Monitor this region closely.
• Only go long if we get a clear, confirmed rebound.
• If price doesn’t react, I’ll simply wait for the next support.

I’m not interested in knife-catching or shorting into weakness.
Sometimes the smartest move is doing nothing — and this week proved it.
