#BuyTheDipOrWaitNow Minus $400 billion in market capitalization in 24 hours. An all-time record.

$2.66 billion in liquidations in a single day.

This looks like forced unloading.

The most severe sell-off I've seen in crypto.

What it could actually be:

• A major sovereign seller — tens of billions of dollars

• Problems at an exchange or custodian that held too much BTC on their balance sheet

• Liquidity crisis among the ultra-rich — when they sell not because they want to, but because they have to

• Hidden leverage through ETF (IBIT and co): the market has started borrowing for BTC from systemic banks — and someone clearly overdid it. This has already started being actively posted and analyzed everywhere

• Quantum FUD — either a psychosis or something we’ll learn about later

What’s important is not what exactly is true.

What matters is how it looks.

- No rebounds

- No normal bid

- Suppressed volume

- Liquidations happening in waves

This is what the market looks like when someone big is exiting at any cost.

This is about systemic stress.
