This year, after #BitMEX and #BitMart, #CoinEX has also decided to stop its cryptocurrency activities!
We went through a very harsh BEAR season, and during this process, many exchanges threw in the towel. Liquidity dropped, investor interest declined, and the majority of altcoins fell all the way back to historical low levels.
If things continue like this, keeping the industry alive will become even harder every day. Because for a market to survive, it takes more than just technology; it also needs investors, volume, liquidity, and trust.
The market now needs a new story!
Led by #Bitcoin, a strong uptrend needs to spread first to #ETH, and then to altcoins. The ALTCOIN RALLY we’ve been waiting for for a long time has become critical not only for investors to profit, but also for the ecosystem to come back to life.
WE’RE ENTERING A CRITICAL WEEK IN THE CRYPTO MARKETS!
Next week, developments coming one after another could light the fuse for the long-awaited momentum for #Bitcoin and altcoins.
TUESDAY — CLARITY ACT
The critical process in the Senate will be followed for the CLARITY Act, which is expected to set the legal framework and rules for the crypto market in the US.
A reduction in uncertainty on the regulation front could open the door to a new era, especially for US-based crypto projects and the altcoin market.
The market will be watching not only the interest rate decision, but also the messages the Fed will give for the next phase.
If dovish messages that strengthen expectations for liquidity come in, we could see an acceleration of capital inflows into risk assets led by #Bitcoin and #ETH.
FRIDAY — BANK OF JAPAN
06:00 — BOJ Interest Rate Decision
The decision from Japan will be closely monitored, particularly in terms of global liquidity, yen carry trade operations, and risk appetite.
In short, there’s no ordinary week ahead.
Regulation + Fed + global liquidity…
Three major headlines will be on the table in the same week.
I’ll especially be watching the reaction that #Bitcoin shows, as well as BTC dominance. If dominance starts to pull back while Bitcoin stays strong, a very different story could begin for the altcoins that have been waiting for so long.
#FED The likelihood of a 25 bp rate hike at next week’s FOMC meeting has risen to around 87%. Despite this, #Bitcoin and #ETH are still holding strong!
The market is buying fear, but crypto isn’t giving up…
We saw a similar picture back in 2017. While the Fed kept raising rates, everyone thought risky assets would come to an end. What happened next? #Bitcoin marched to new highs, and the #altcoin market saw historic breakouts.
Because what matters in the market isn’t just the question “Is the Fed raising rates?” What matters is how much of the expectation has already been priced in, and where the liquidity entering the market is heading.
Today, with the rate-hike odds this high, Bitcoin still staying afloat is one of the most important signals for me to pay attention to.
The Fed will announce its decision, there will be volatility, fear will be pumped again—but I’m still looking at the bigger picture.
When #Bitcoin settles back above $100K and #ETH starts moving toward its previous all-time highs, I think the real story will be written in altcoins.
We waited for months. We held on. We fell, we rose—but we didn’t leave the market.
A bull doesn’t arrive in a day. First, it tests the patient, then it rewards the patient.
Trump’s nonsense is no longer being met with as harsh a reaction from the market as it used to.
Yesterday, the U.S. attacked Iran again, and geopolitical tensions rose once more. #Bitcoin pulled back, but it didn’t turn into the level of panic selling the market had been expecting.
The market is now pricing in results—not Trump’s statements. War updates, threats, tariffs, interest rate announcements… Most of these are no longer “new news” for investors. The market is getting used to shocks, and each new statement isn’t just prompting the same fear to be bought once again.
If, in the coming period, expectations of easing from the Fed strengthen, global liquidity increases, and institutional money keeps flowing into crypto; then every remark by Trump may not be a new reason for #Bitcoin to fall.
When the market starts to absorb bad news, this is sometimes one of the most important signals of a strong bull trend. In a bull market, good news accelerates the move up, while bad news can no longer create a decline.
#Bitcoin closed the month by holding above $78,500, nearly finishing August up about 25%. #It was the strongest-performing closing for #BTC in August since 2017.
September months usually go pretty stable, but hopefully this month, with it, the rally’s fuse gets lit, and we’ll enjoy a very green market filled with long green candles.
#Bitcoin, one of the strongest August closes since the August 2017 close. 👀
There was a similar picture in 2017 too… The rally back then is still one of the most unforgettable periods in crypto history.
Now everyone has the same question on their mind:
What if history repeats itself?
Because this market writes its biggest stories most intensely at the moments when people lose hope.
Maybe the squeeze, impatience, and despair we’re seeing today are the beginning of the days we’ll look back on tomorrow and think, “Good thing I didn’t sell.”
If a rally comes like it did in 2017, then all the losses we’re talking about today could suddenly be things of the past.
August is closing. Maybe the first page of a new story is opening…
#CLARTY YASASI WILL LIGHT THE FUSE OF A BRAND-NEW BULL RUN!
Interest in crypto has waned significantly. Most of the investors who entered in 2021–2022—and even later—ended up giving up. To bring interest back to crypto, a story is needed… This story can be written with the #CLARTY law and could increase crypto interest again.
If this keeps going, exchanges will shut their shutters. They have to create a rally to keep their systems running.
Open the 2021 charts and you’ll see how most coins in the market managed to do 50x, 100x.
Don’t write the stories of “Well, there weren’t that many coins back then.” At that time, coins were being created every minute. What matters is which coins will move in the first 500…
In the last 2 weeks, stock exchanges’ gains have neared $10 billion…
In SHORT positions, significant liquidity has been accumulated. Yet there are still those opening SHORTs, still those adding collateral.
That’s exactly where the market is testing most people’s patience.
My expectation is that #Bitcoin won’t move in a straight line; it will continue on its way by going down and rebounding, shaking out the impatient and removing them from the market.
In 2 days, there will be the end-of-month close. #BTC had a great August. Now everyone is looking to September…
On September 15, there will be a vote on the CLARITY Act. By then, it would not be surprising to see volatility, sharp wicks, and a bit of shakeout.
But when we look at the big picture, the story isn’t over yet.
Markets punish the impatient and reward the patient. Those who are afraid on the way down shouldn’t end up saying “I wish” tomorrow on the way up.
Because in bull seasons, the real money goes less to those who predict the right time and more to those who manage to stay in the right position.
September could be a much more eventful month for us. Shakeouts aren’t the end of the road; they’re often part of the journey.
Over the past 2 weeks, more than $9.71 billion in liquidations occurred in the crypto market.
$6.55 billion short, $3.16 billion long.
About 67% of the market liquidated short positions.
Here’s a very important detail that everyone needs to see:
The market doesn’t move only with price action—it also moves with people’s wrong positions.
Those who use excessive leverage, those who are expecting a decline, and those who think they can beat the market in the short term lost billions of dollars.
In crypto, making money isn’t only about buying and selling from the right spot. Sometimes the biggest gain is not being in the wrong position at the wrong time.
That’s why I prefer spot over leverage, patience over panic, and fundamentals over noise.
Because the market doesn’t always have to transfer the money of those who rush to the people who can wait… but most of the time it does exactly that.
$9.71 billion was wiped out. The question is: Whose money will be wiped out in the next liquidation wave?
Those who look at the crypto market and money markets only through a technical analysis lens often end up being wrong. Until just two days ago, we’re seeing people who technically expected $30K–$35K now forget what they said and instead watch the rally.
In this market, my equation is clear: 20% technical, 30% fundamentals, 50% patience. It’s not enough to just look at the chart; you need to read liquidity, macroeconomics, regulations, institutional interest, and the big picture of the market.
In the 2021 bull season as well, many people got stuck on technical indicators and stayed away from the market. When the rally began, the ones who were outside became bigger bulls than those inside.
In the coming period, one of the important headlines for crypto is the CLARITY Act and the clarification of the regulatory framework in the U.S. Developments like these can be major catalysts that further increase institutional investors’ and capital’s interest in crypto.
Remember: those who say the bull run won’t come may become more bullish than you once the rally starts.
Don’t focus on short-term fluctuations—look at the bigger picture.
#Bitcoin hasn’t been able to break above the $80K zone for 2 days, and #ETH is still stuck below the $2.5K level.
Every rejection from these zones further increases selling pressure, especially on the #altcoin side.
But today is a critical day.
If upcoming #PCE and #GDP data meet expectations and restore confidence in the market, we could see the $80K resistance broken and a new upward wave begin for Bitcoin.
First, $80K will break—then the journey to $100K will start. 🚀
#Bitcoin carries the flag. Altcoins are waiting for that flag to pass to them.
#Bitcoin has broken through the $80K level—next up is $85K! Even though altcoins aren’t keeping pace right now, when #BTC bends its head down on the D. leg, the altcoins will lift up. We’ll enter a period where we’ll forget the disastrous pullbacks we experienced in the past and talk only about gains!
In this market, we’ve suffered and endured for years. But of course, the days when we will enjoy the good times will come. Those who have patience will be rewarded more than fully.
