Normally, BTC and the S&P500 move together because both depend on liquidity and risk appetite. But now: โข S&P500 keeps pushing higher โข while $BTC is already starting to lag behind snapshot The picture at the beginning of the post clearly shows this, where the graph is the price of Bitcoin, and the green line is the SP500 index. And thatโs a bad sign for crypto ๐ Why is this happening? 1๏ธโฃ Big money starts leaving the riskiest assets first When a cycle gets close to the end, capital usually exits: โข crypto โข meme coins โข weak altcoins While stocks can still keep rallying for some time. 2๏ธโฃ BTC no longer believes in โeasy moneyโ The stock market is still hoping for: โข rate cuts โข more liquidity โข Fed support But Bitcoin seems to understand reality earlier: โข rates remain high โข the dollar is strong โข bond yields keep rising โข the Fed is not ready to save markets yet This is not the environment for a new bull run. 3๏ธโฃ This often happens before major market drops In previous cycles, crypto also started weakening before stocks rolled over. BTC is often a leading indicator for global risk appetite. ๐ Conclusion: Right now everything still looks bullish on the surface: stocks near highs, people euphoric, risk appetite exploding. But internally, weakness is already starting to appear. Historically, such divergences usually end the same way: Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies fall ahead, and then global indices follow suit ๐ ๐ If you want to trade like a professional and not like a gambler โ follow for real insights and strategies ๐
Most people think markets rise because of good news, technology, or simply because everyone is buying. Thatโs not true. Every market โ stocks, crypto, oil โ is driven by only one thing: liquidity, meaning the amount of free money in the system. Everything else is secondary. More money in the system โ capital flows into stocks, crypto, real estate, risk assets ๐ฐ Less money โ capital flows into the dollar, bonds, cash ๐ธ Everything else is just noise. ๐ฐ Why crypto depends on this more than anything else The crypto market is the riskiest market in the world $BTC $ETH $BNB When thereโs plenty of cheap money in the system โ people are willing to take risks, buy altcoins, meme coins, use leverage. Thatโs what we call a bull market. As soon as liquidity starts leaving the system โ crypto assets are always the first to collapse. Without exceptions ๐ Thatโs why the 2022โ2025 rate hike cycle became one of the most painful periods for crypto in recent years. ๐ How to track this in practice 1๏ธโฃ Fed actions and interest rates โ the most important factor of all. Rate cuts โ liquidity increases โ markets move higher. Rate hikes โ money becomes expensive โ capital leaves risk assets. This is not theory โ itโs mechanics. Right now the market is pricing in a 54% probability of a rate hike by the end of 2026. 2๏ธโฃ Fed balance sheet โ are they printing money(QE) or removing liquidity from the system(QT)? After the COVID QE cycle, Bitcoin moved from $4,000 to $69,000. Coincidence? No. Liquidity. Right now, after the QT cycle(liquidity withdrawal), we are seeing a small liquidity injection again. But the pace of new liquidity growth remains very low. 3๏ธโฃ US bond yields โ when 10Y and 30Y Treasuries offer high yields, large capital simply has no reason to enter crypto. Why take risks if you can earn 5%+ virtually risk-free? This is currently one of the biggest anchors holding markets back. I explained this in the previous post 4๏ธโฃ Dollar Index(DXY) โ a strong dollar pressures all risk assets. A weak dollar supports them. Because global liquidity is denominated in dollars. Right now the dollar is weak, but further weakening would require breaking the long-term uptrend that started in 2008. Since then, the dollar has mostly strengthened, which is why betting on a full trend reversal remains unlikely for now(see chart 3). ๐ Why news means almost nothing Markets can rise on bad news and fall on good news. Thatโs not magic โ itโs liquidity. In a bull market with cheap money, literally everything pumps. In a bear market, even positive news doesnโt help because there is simply no liquidity in the system. Without understanding liquidity, trading crypto is just guessing where the chart will go ๐ฒ Thatโs why, until we see proper conditions with real liquidity returning to the system, allocating most of your capital toward bullish bets remains very dangerous โ ๏ธ โ๏ธThatโs exactly why during most of 2026 Iโve been actively advocating staying in cash rather than trading. Because personally, I donโt understand what will happen to markets in the short term. ๐ If you want to trade like a professional and not like a gambler โ follow for real insights and strategies ๐ #bitcoin #Ethereum #crypto #Fed #DXY
Brief overview of the most traded assets this week
Today weโll look at three coins that generated the highest trading volume this week: 1๏ธโฃ $NEAR NEAR currently looks like one of the strongest altcoins on the market: breakout above long-term downtrend price consolidated above MA200D strong volume impulse RSI already in overbought territory Structurally, the asset still looks strong and has potential for continuation. However, price has already entered a major resistance zone around $2โ3, where a large amount of sell-side liquidity sits. Bullish structure remains intact for now, but after such an aggressive move the probability of a local pullback increases significantly. Personally, I would not buy here. At minimum, Iโd wait for a retest of the ascending trendline from above. 2๏ธโฃ $ETH Ethereum still looks extremely weak relative to the market: full bearish triangle structure formed price failed again at key moving averages volume continues declining every bounce weaker than the previous one ETH also failed to reclaim the $2500 zone and MA200D. Right now the structure looks more like preparation for continuation down rather than accumulation before growth. As long as ETH remains below the trendline, the global structure stays bearish. I already covered this asset in more detail in a previous post ๐ Read post 3๏ธโฃ $HYPE HYPE continues to surprise with strength: powerful uptrend strong breakout above resistanceheavy demand and volumenew local highs Right now HYPE looks like one of the market leaders and shows classic risk-on behavior. Further upside remains possible since price is still far from the upper boundary of the ascending channel. Locally the asset looks overheated, so itโs better to wait for a pullback toward the key $47.59 level โ or buy spot with readiness for a potential -20% drawdown. ๐ Conclusion The market is extremely selective right now. Some assets are already breaking down and look ready for continuation lower. Others are only beginning to exit multi-month accumulation structures. Thatโs why itโs especially important now to: โข choose assets carefully โข avoid trading everything blindly โข focus on structure and liquidity Because in market phases like this, the gap between strong and weak coins becomes massive ๐ ๐ If you want to trade like a professional and not like a gambler โ follow for real insights and strategies ๐
Hello everyone! I might be back here to share some cool analytics again. But I'm not promising anything, so let's get going! During the 2023โ2025 cycle, Ethereum delivered one of the weakest performances among major assets While the market was rallying, $ETH only managed to briefly touch its previous all-time high For a top 2 asset by market cap โ thatโs extremely bad result. At this point, itโs fair to say: this patient is more dead than alive Despite countless upgrades and โfixesโ. Ethereum still lags behind newer, more efficient blockchains. Ethereum technology is outdated ETH is likely to lose its leading position and gradually fade into the pool of average altcoins Hard to accept? ๐ค Of course. People are emotionally attached and will keep justifying it ๐ก But facts donโt care: weak performancebroken relative strengthdeclining dominance The price action over the past cycle is already confirming one thing Ethereum is in decline ๐ Technical analysis 1๏ธโฃ First, let's look at the ETH price chart paired with $BTC During the whole bull run 2023-2025, Ethereum kept losing value vs Bitcoin The only notable bounce came in April 2025 โ and even that was weak Current stats: Down -65% vs BTC from the 2022 peakAt the worst point โ -79% Even on the bounce, ETH failed to break its long-term downtrend Instead โ it got rejected and moved lower ๐ Structure: Trading below long-term moving averagesClear bearish trend vs BTCNo signs of strength What needs to happen for ETH to make new highs right now? ๐ค We simply donโt see that scenario More likely after a short bounce โ continuation lower I think ETH will break its 2019 lows vs BTC This isnโt just weakness. This is a long-term loss of dominance 2๏ธโฃ Now let's move on to the classic ETH/USDT chart I already explained why Ethereum looks structurally weak long-term. Now the chart is starting to confirm it. ETH has officially lost the rising support trendline that was holding the entire local bounce structure together. And this is very important. Because until now, bulls could still argue: โitโs just consolidation before continuation higher.โ But after the trendline breakdown, the structure changes completely. ๐ What we see now: bearish triangle breakdownloss of local supportrejection below MA200Dlower highs continue formingRSI rolling over againvolume fading during recovery attempts The entire move from April now increasingly looks like: short squeezerelief rallydistribution before continuation lower Not the beginning of a new bull cycle. ๐ก The biggest problem for ETH right now There is simply no aggressive buyer. Every rally gets sold almost immediately. And notice how weak the bounce became near the $2400โ2500 zone. That level acted as major resistance again. Meanwhile: BTC dominance remains highliquidity conditions worsenyields continue risingcapital rotates into stronger assets This creates a very dangerous environment for weak altcoins. ๐ Technically, ETH now risks opening the path toward: $1900 support zone firstthen potentially โ $1500and under full panic conditions even lower liquidity zones become realistic Especially if BTC loses strength too. At this point, ETH no longer trades like a market leader. It trades like a weak high-beta asset inside a late-stage bear market rally. ๐ Conclusion: Itโs time for ETH to step aside. The market already has plenty of more interesting projects with: near-zero feesfaster executionstronger ecosystems Of course, many will laugh at this post. But the market always puts everything in its place Donโt fall in love with toxic positions. Especially when we are already in a bear market โ๏ธ If you're tired of losing money to the market โ follow.
