WHY BITCOIN AND ALTS ARE DUMPING?

THE CRYPTO MARKET HAS LOST $140 BILLION IN THE LAST 24 HOURS.

4 REASONS BEHIND THIS DUMP:

1️⃣ OG WHALE SELLING

➞ YESTERDAY, AN OG BITCOIN WHALE DEPOSITED 3000  $BTC AND STARTED SELLING.

➞ THIS ISN'T A BIG AMOUNT, BUT THE MARKETS PANICKED BECAUSE OF ONE THING.

➞ THIS WHALE STILL HOLDS $3.4 BILLION IN BTC AND COULD START SELLING HIS ENTIRE HOLDINGS.

2️⃣ RISING INFLATION

➞ YESTERDAY, NY FED INFLATION EXPECTATIONS ROSE TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL IN 3.5 YEARS.

➞ HIGH INFLATION MEANS THE RATE CUTS PROBABILITY WILL GO LOW, WHICH IS BAD FOR RISK-ON ASSETS.

3️⃣ LEVERAGE FLUSH

➞ AFTER BTC NEW ATH, NEARLY $3 BILLION IN OPEN INTEREST WAS ADDED.

➞ THIS WAS GREEDY LONGS CHASING BITCOIN PUMPS, AND MARKET MAKERS ALWAYS FLUSH THEM.

4️⃣ GOLD AND DXY RALLY

➞ JUST LIKE THE BTC PUMP SUCKS LIQUIDITY FROM ALTS, THE GOLD PUMP IS SUCKING LIQUIDITY FROM RISK-ON ASSETS.

➞ ON TOP OF THAT, DXY IS ALSO GOING UP, WHICH IS CAUSING MORE DAMAGE TO BITCOIN AND ALTS.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?

● THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT Q4 WILL BE BULLISH FOR BITCOIN AND ALTS.

● NONE OF THE BULLISH CATALYSTS HAVE BEEN PRICED IN, AND THERE'S NO EUPHORIA ON THE TIMELINE.

● BUT JUST LIKE 2023 AND 2024, WHALES WILL FIRST SHAKE OUT THE WEAK HANDS.

● ONCE PEOPLE START BELIEVING THERE'LL BE NO Q4 PUMP, A MASSIVE RALLY WILL START.

● I THINK THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO NOW COULD BE A FEW WEEKS OF CHOP BEFORE A REVERSAL.
