$BTC $SOL $ETH Can someone explain this to me?
Bitcoin is already under pressure because of rising oil prices... and the Fed creates an even bigger risk for the entire crypto market.
In an environment like this... who would suddenly put huge amounts of fresh money into the market and take that kind of risk?
That is exactly why i believe what we are seeing is not normal organic buying.
My suspicion is that major exchanges and market makers are preventing the market from falling too quickly... pushing prices higher while too many traders are positioned short... and forcing those shorts to close or get liquidated.
At the same time... higher prices attract more people into leveraged long positions because they start believing the market is strong again.
Then comes the Fed.
If the Fed delivers a hawkish surprise and the market finally sells off hard... those crowded long positions could become the next liquidation target.
So the scenario i am watching is simple...
First squeeze the shorts on the way up...
Then attract more leveraged longs...
Then if the Fed triggers a major selloff... liquidate the longs on the way down.
I can say that Binance or other exchanges are deliberately doing this... but considering the macro risks and the synchronized moves across almost every major coin... i think traders should at least question what they are seeing and be extremely careful with leverage.
