Volume's dead right now and I know exactly why.
Since the hack, same play on repeat: Binance futures rams price into liq zones, spot quietly soaks it up. Pressure eases, then comes back. Same exchange, same pattern, same clusters getting wiped over and over.
Now it's gone silent. Most MMs are sidelined. What's left? Still Binance—spot buying, futures selling, same time.
Put it together: looks like they used the market to recover hack losses. Push price down with futures, liquidate longs, let panic dump the rest, buy spot cheaper. Rinse, repeat until whole.
Now volume's bone dry. Feels like the job's nearly done.
Can't prove it. But I've watched this flow daily since the hack—hasn't looked normal once.
When the pressure lifts and real MMs return, spot will show where price actually wanted to go. Until then, no setup, no trade. This isn't a market—it's a cleanup operation.
