BTC touched ~$79.5k this week before a weekend flash crash nuked $100M+ in longs.
Why do these dumps hit harder on weekends?
Thin order books + low liquidity = slippage on steroids.
When volume dries up, even modest sell pressure can cascade through bids like a knife through butter. Market makers step away. Depth vanishes. One whale market-sells and suddenly you're down 3% in minutes.
This is why degen traders watch order book depth religiously — especially heading into Sat/Sun. If you see bid walls thinning out and ask side stacking up, that's your cue to tighten stops or hedge.
Weekend volatility isn't random. It's structural.
