🧊 Ice and Fire: BTC’s Four-Day Losing Streak, While 16x ZEC Has Only Pulled Back 16%

BTC at 74,375, down 2.11%, briefly plunged to 73,510 overnight. From its four-day high of 81,196, that’s four consecutive down days and an 8.4% pullback. ETH at 2,114, down 5.68%, has dropped from 2,450 to 2,060 in five days, a decline of 15.9%. The key point: ETH’s funding rate has turned negative at -0.0026%—longs are starting to pay.

ZEC at 1,208, down 5.79%, has been almost flat over the past seven days. It was worth just $74 last October, then surged to 1,438 in September—a 16x gain. The whole market is deleveraging, but ZEC is the one that hasn’t paid the price.

Resilience isn’t strength; it just means positions are so crowded that it hasn’t had its turn yet. A catch-up drop wouldn’t be 5%—it could start at 30%. BTC long position average entry: 78,596; liquidation price: 70,437.

Key levels: If 73,510 breaks, watch 72,197. A move back above 76,200 would be the first sign of stabilization.
