The market erased all gains after yesterday's successful Nvidia report 📉

Bitcoin fell below $88,000, Ethereum is trading at $2,850.

😐 CEXs are sending sad letters to those who like to trade with high leverage. The total amount of liquidations in the crypto market is $775 million in the last 24 hours.

All I can recommend to you during such a period is:

🔴If you find yourself in a situation where you have an unwanted position open and you are begging fate to break even, cut it now.

🔴If you want to catch falling knives, it is better to wait to make a more informed decision. Also, read this post.

The market is going through one of the most severe risk-off phases in recent memory 📉

Extreme fear has reached its highest level ever recorded by the CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index. Current value: 11 out of 100 😱

🔴Bitcoin has fallen below 82,000, down 10.6% in the last 24 hours.

🔴Ethereum is trading under $2,670 and is down 30% over the last 30 days.

🔴The BTC daily RSI is now at 21, its lowest reading since August 2023.

🔽 Altcoins have finally stopped showing relative strength. Many are down more than 15% today.

🫡 Futures markets remain under heavy pressure. Total liquidations across all exchanges over the past 24 hours reached $2.04 billion.

💰 BTC spot ETFs recorded $903 million dollars in outflows yesterday. This was the second-largest single-day outflow ever. Adding to the panic, BlackRock transferred another $348 million worth of BTC and $117 million of ETH to Coinbase. Hard to imagine this is being prepared as collateral for long exposure, ha-ha...

I think this price action is caused by major players being forced to capitulate. Personally, I'm in no hurry to buy the dip

Does “buy fear, sell greed” actually work when trading Bitcoin? 🔍

People repeat this line like it’s a cheat code, but the data and real market behavior say something very different.

🕯 The Fear & Greed Index tells you how the crowd feels, not where the market is going next. Extreme fear can stay extreme for a long time. We’ve had multiple cycles where the index sat around 15 while BTC kept dumping another 30–50%. Same on the other side: greed can sit at 80–90 for weeks while BTC continues to melt upward.

That’s the danger. Imagine F&G hits 80 and you think, “easy short.” The trend is strong, momentum is up, whales are buying, but you’re fading it because a dial says “greed.” BTC pumps another 40–50%. Now you’re stuck, adding to a losing trade or cutting a painful loss.

Then fear hits 10 and you say, “time to long,” but the market keeps sliding. You add again, it drops more. This is exactly how people blow up trying to countertrade sentiment.

📊 The data backs this up. Look at the attached chart. It shows BTC’s median 30-day performance after the Fear & Greed Index hits extreme fear (<10). Out of 27 historical signals, the median return after 30 days is about 2%. That’s nothing for an asset that regularly moves 2% in an hour. It means that buying extreme fear and selling 30 days later gives you close to zero edge.

And that’s the point. The index shows emotion, not trend strength. Bitcoin can stay euphoric far longer than shorts can remain solvent, and it can stay fearful long enough to drag all the dip buyers underwater. Using this indicator alone to fade the market is one of the most common retail mistakes 🤦

Another reminder of why you shouldn't rely on banks💰

Germany’s banks have been closing accounts of journalists, alternative media, and political groups. An independent radio station saw its account shut down without explanation. Even political parties have been pushed out, and some only regained access after court rulings.

😮 This is debanking. It’s when access is removed not for fraud or risk, but because someone is controversial or politically inconvenient. It hits people on every side.

It shows how financial access becomes a pressure point. If your ability to transact depends on approval from an institution, your position can be weakened with a single decision.

👛 Want to hold dollars or euros? Just buy USDC or EURC and store them in a cold wallet.

🪁 Want to earn passive interest on your money? Lend your stablecoins on Aave.

It's permissionless, censorship-resistant, decentralized, and pseudo-anonymous. This is why crypto is gaining popularity worldwide 📈

$12 —> $11k in 7 days 😐

A guy on Polymarket just pulled off something wild. He took $12, traded short-term crypto options for a week, and ended up with a little over $11,264. That’s basically turning pocket change into a used car 😮

He was hitting binary options on Bitcoin. Simple setup, either it pays out or it goes to zero. He caught a streak during all the volatility and kept stacking wins until it snowballed into a 93,000% ROI.

Cool to watch, but you only ever see the wins, not the people who get wiped in minutes

🙅 If you’re thinking about trying this, be careful. These markets move fast and one bad call can erase everything. Fun story, crazy run, just don’t treat it like a guide. Options are a bad deal for most people because you risk with 100% of your bet while only earning a fraction of that IF you win.

The Monad token $MON is showing strength after its initial coin offering I wrote about in the mentioned post🔼

People who participated have invested at $2.5 billion FDV and have already earned 80% profit 💰

It's important to understand that this is happening in an unfavorable market, with BTC trading below $90k.

Trust me, there are always opportunities to make money in crypto but you need to stay alert and be patient 🤑

What Do Market Makers Actually Do? 💸

When you buy or sell a token on an exchange, who is filling your order?

It’s not thousands of retail traders sitting in the book 24 hours a day. Most of the liquidity you see comes from market makers. They place continuous buy and sell quotes so spreads stay tight and execution stays stable.

🕯 Market makers run automated systems that constantly update orders as price moves. When one side of their quote gets filled, they hedge the exposure on futures or other venues.

Their goal is neutrality. They earn from spreads, rebates, and small arbitrage opportunities, not from guessing market direction.

They also manage inventory. If they accumulate too much of a token while making markets, they offset it elsewhere. If volatility rises, they pull back, widen spreads, or reduce size to control risk. Everything is systematic and tied to liquidity conditions.

🤔 So why do people dislike them so often? Because when volatility hits, price often rushes into areas packed with stops. Market makers step back to avoid getting high directional exposure, and the market slices through these levels quickly. Traders see this and assume market makers “hunted” their positions.

In reality, they placed their stops in predictable spots where the most liquidity sits. Blaming MMs is easier than admitting the market punished a crowded idea. People hate taking responsibility and love to blame everything on others 🤦

Good app, but can we skip the cry part? 🥺

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is up 4.2% and is trading above $91,000 🤑

Who bought the dip?

Bull propaganda: The bottom is in? 🤔

Bitcoin bulls finally got a small spark. The Insilico leledc indicator flashed a buy signal on the 3-day chart 🔍

This tool is an exhaustion counter similar to TD Sequential. It helps spot when a trend is getting weak, but you need real understanding of exhaustion frameworks to use it.

📆 During the last bear market in 2022 it printed a buy signal about six months before the actual bottom, then gave another confirmation closer to the real reversal.

👉 If you want to use this signal as a basis for a long, you have to be ready for that kind of early call again (after which we can easily drop another 15%).

It’s 2025 and instead of flying cars we’ve got something pretty dystopian if you ask me. People are betting on the outcomes of battles and territorial changes while the war is still going on in real time 😐

PolyGlobe shows the direction the prediction markets space is going. It puts the live map on a 3D globe and ties each region to a market. Frontline shading, unit markers, attack arrows. All updating as new data comes in 🌍

This is where unregulated crypto prediction markets naturally scale. Once they exist, everything becomes a market.

🔴Will Trump say “pokemon” in his next Truth Social post?

🔴How long will the handshake between Putin and Xi Jinping last?

🔴Will Ukraine retake this city by the end of the year?

🔴Will Iran get bombed this month?

Nothing is off limits anymore. If something happens in the world, someone will try to gamble on it, and there will be many competing platforms trying to make that easy.

The normalization of gambling and the steady erosion of social morals are what have made it a part of our everyday lives 🤦‍♂️

Trump says he will keep stocks at all-time highs 📈

Trump says typical Trump things, nothing new here, but let's look at this situation closer:

🛫 The S&P 500’s gains are basically an AI–megacap story. A few giants — Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet — dragged the entire index up while the rest of the market stayed flat.

Breadth is weak, tech valuations are stretched, and AI capex is doing most of the heavy lifting. “Stocks up” is really “five names went vertical.”

🤖 The AI run-up looks like a classic bubble. Capex is exploding, valuations are stretched, and even major institutions are calling this a FOMO-driven, late-cycle surge.

The structure also makes losses easy to socialise. Much of the debt sits on partners and quasi-public financing, while companies pitch AI datacenters as “critical infrastructure” that deserve government support (AKA using your money to bail them out) 😂

The bubble has gotten so large that the government is implicitly expresses willingness to support the whole AI thing with unlimited money. That’s how far this has gone. It will end badly, and the only unknown is timing 💸

And when the bubble bursts, the last thing you'll want to hold are risk-on assets

Metals are having one of their strongest years in decades 📈

2025 YTD performance:

🟠Silver: +95%
🟠Platinum: +87%
🟠Gold: +60%
🟠Copper: +30%
🟠Lithium: +25%

Central banks flipped toward easing and interest rates are going down, which always pulls capital back into metals. At the same time, industrial demand spiked, while years of underinvestment left supply stuck in place.

Add in a year of geopolitical stress, tariff wars, real war risk premiums, and governments loading up on bullion to hedge their own balance sheets, and you get the kind of move we just saw.

By the way, you can trade gold and silver futures permissionlessly from anywhere in the world, you only need a crypto wallet, and Lighter DEX 🕯

Why Trading on Weekends Is Riskier Than You Think 🗓

Unlike stocks crypto trades 24/7, but weekends behave like a different market. Liquidity dries up, spreads widen, and price moves without the usual institutional flow anchoring things. Even small orders can move charts, and stop losses trigger far more easily.

🐳 With fewer players active, volatility increases. A single whale can move price far beyond what you would expect during the week. Many weekend moves come from nothing but thin books and leveraged positions getting liquidated.

The Monday gap makes things worse. Remember that the crypto market follows the U.S. equities market, not the other way around. Crypto trades while the stock market is closed. A Sunday rally can be wiped out the moment the stock market opens, and a Sunday sell-off can reverse instantly. Weekend price action often has no connection to Monday's market sentiment 🕯

This doesn’t mean you shouldn't trade during weekends, but you need a different level of caution. The market is thinner, moves faster, and easier to get trapped in, and a normal setup can turn into unnecessary risk very quickly.

December is here, the first month of winter. Let's hope it's not a crypto winter 🫡

Although for now, it looks like it really is a bear market. In the lifetime of Bitcoin, this November was the second worst. Historically, every red November has been followed by a red December.

📉 Bitcoin fell 6% overnight. The decline began at 12 a.m. UTC and appears to be due to a large number of algorithmic trading systems firing simultaneously because it is the start of a new month and the previous weekly and monthly candles closed bearishly.

If it really is a bear market, most people will only acknowledge it when Bitcoin falls below $70k, by which point it will be too late to reduce risk. So, I recommend preparing for any scenario 🧠

@CoinPost

Bitcoin just saw one of its biggest exchange outflows in years. CEX balances fell from 2.37M BTC to 1.82M BTC between Nov 21–23 while price sat around $85k. That’s a 23% drop and the lowest exchange supply since 2018 📉

I think, the most likely explanation is large buyers moving coins off-exchange into long-term custody or settling OTC.

🔍 The outflows appeared across multiple exchanges and didn’t move price, which points to planned, non-retail activity.

If the data is accurate, it’s a meaningful shift. Around 550,000 BTC just left the liquid market, which is $47.85 billion 😮

From a supply-and-demand perspective, this is very bullish. However, I'm not sure if I interpreted these statistics correctly. Would you guys mind sharing your opinions in the comments? 💬
