Bitcoin is trading in a very tight range right now. Nobody knows if we go up or down from here. But the resolution likely comes soon 👀

Markets are bracing for volatility because of these events 👇

⏺US GDP came in hot at 3% for Q2, beating expectations.

⏺FOMC decision is due later today, with Powell's press conference likely to move markets more than the rate call itself.

⏺Also today, the Trump administration released a long-awaited report from its crypto working group. Mentions Bitcoin, but no word on strategic BTC reserve.

⏺Friday brings the July U.S. jobs report.

⏺And nearly 37% of S&P 500 firms are reporting earnings later this week.

So, be careful. It's better to decrease your trading leverage and sit this one out 😌

Trump is crashing out after the Federal Reserve's yesterday's decision not to lower interest rates, leaving them unchanged at 4.25%-4.50% 🤣

He called Fed Chair Jerome Powell “too stupid” and “a total loser” 😂

What Is a Liquidity Void 🤔

These zones are created by strong, impulsive candles that slice through levels without resistance, often due to news, panic, or a liquidity grab.

🔍 In these voids, there's little to no consolidation or price acceptance. The market didn't spend time there, which means it left behind an "unfinished auction." These areas almost always attract price back later just like gaps on futures markets.

🕯 Why does this matter? Because price tends to revisit these inefficient zones. It's not guaranteed, but many traders treat them as magnets.

Typical signs of a liquidity void 👇

1️⃣A long candle with little to no wick

2️⃣Fast move through a previous range without pullbacks

3️⃣No visible structure or consolidation in the area

4️⃣Move was fueled mainly due to liquidation cascade

If prices pumps/dumps too fast and you're not quick enough to open your position, using these liquidity voids with fair value gaps can be a good place for your limit orders instead of chasing the price 👀

Bitcoin has dropped by 3.85%, and is currently trading around the $115,100 support level. This has dragged down the entire market, along with hopes for an immediate altcoin season 😣

The final straw that prompted bears to start selling was the announcement of new tariffs ranging from 15% to 41% on goods shipped to the U.S. from more than 67 countries 😱

👇 Are you buying the dip?

YES — 🐳

NO — 🫡

Remember this post about gaps? Today we just closed a BTC gap on CME futures that was mentioned there ✅

Market continues to decline after Trump ordered the repositioning of two nuclear submarines near Russia in response to provocative statements made by former Russian President 😱

What Are Cascading Liquidations? 🔽

Cascading liquidations are chain reactions caused by forced closures of leveraged positions. Most people think of crashes, but they happen both ways. When prices move fast, traders on the wrong side get liquidated. This triggers more liquidations, creating a feedback loop.

🗓 This is why you sometimes see seemingly impossible price movements, such as the 51.5% drop in the value of BTC in just two days on 12 March 2020. Such moves are often just a reflection of the market clearing out one side's leverage.

While the price is dropping, many traders try to catch the bottom and average down their positions by increasing their size. These actions only add fuel to the fire, making the situation even crazier.

To not get rekt you need to 👇

1️⃣Monitor the funding rate for abnormally high or low values, as this means that the trade is overcrowded.

2️⃣Check price zones where a large number of liquidations are concentrated; sometimes the market literally hunts for them, you can use Coinglass for this info.

3️⃣Always use a stop-loss order to make potential losses predictable and manageable.

This BTC dump reminds me a lot of August 2023 😱

Back then, we topped on July 14, then dropped 21% into September 11 before reversing and rallying nonstop into January 📈

Now in August 2025, same thing — local top on July 14, and now selling off hard. If we repeat a 20% drawdown, we'd land around $100k, possibly $98k, which already marked the bottom back in June.

🐻 Not calling for a bear market. I’m still bullish for Q4. But the clean uptrend is broken, and this correction could run deeper. Key zones for BTC are: $105k, $100k, $94k.

If we nuke into those levels, I’ll be a happy buyer. Until then, if you’re overexposed or on leverage that can’t survive a deeper move, reduce risk ❗️

Lil Tay just made over $1 million on OnlyFans in three hours 🔞

She has 2.3 million followers on TikTok and had gone viral years ago as a child for her brash persona. She still looks like a minor, but she turned 18, which means she can now publish “content” on the 18+ platform.

😐 This is a perfect example of how the modern attention economy works. Build an audience as a child, then immediately monetize through sex appeal the next day after it's legal.

It's disturbing how normalized this has become, but big money attracts attention and makes her a role model for millions of other girls 💸

What Is a Reverse Buy Test? 😮

Humans struggle to let go of things they already own. This is called the endowment effect — a cognitive bias where people overvalue what they hold just because they own it. In trading, this leads to emotional bags and poor exits.

But there is a simple fix. Ask yourself: "If I didn’t already own this asset, would I buy it today?" 🤔

If the answer is no, you start slowly selling. If the answer is "absolutely not!", you need to exit fully. This shifts your thinking from hope to real conviction based on present data.

🔺 Say you bought AVAX at $60. It is now trading at $22 after months of bleeding. You are still holding because you want your money back. But would you honestly buy AVAX today at the current price? If not, then why are you still in?

❗️ Markets do not care about your entry or your portfolio ATH value. Stop managing trades based on what happened. Use the Reverse Buy Test and force yourself to make decisions based on what matters now.

#FAQ

Market took a hit today. BTC is testing the $113k level and even ETH dropped 2.8%. The move was largely driven by massive outflows from crypto ETFs 📉

Tradfi investors pulled out $787 million in total — $322M from BTC ETFs and $465M from ETH. It’s the biggest outflow day in recent months.

What Is MVRV and How to Use It in Investing? 🔍

MVRV stands for Market Value to Realized Value. It is a ratio designed to measure the divergence between an asset’s current market capitalization and the total value of all coins based on the price they last moved on-chain.

🧮 Market Value = Current Price × Circulating Supply

🧮 Realized Value = Sum of all UTXOs (Unspent Transaction Outputs) valued at the price they last moved

By comparing these two values, MVRV captures the average unrealized profit or loss of all holders. When market value significantly exceeds realized value, it implies that most coins are in profit, and there is elevated risk of distribution. When market value drops below realized value, most coins are underwater, which historically aligns with accumulation phases.

🫱 TLDR: This indicator is best used on very high time frames. MVRV is not designed for short-term trading or intraday signals. Its main utility lies in helping identify long-term cycle tops and bottoms. For example, Bitcoin MVRV ratios above 3.5 have historically coincided with euphoric market peaks, while values below 1 have marked generational buying zones.

⏰ Because MVRV is based on long-term holder behavior and capital inflow data, it reacts slowly. It is especially useful in building conviction when macro timing an entry or exit. On a multi-year horizon, it helps filter out noise and highlight the extremes of fear and greed that drive major trend reversals ❗️

#FAQ

I highly recommend taking a close look at the MOVR indicator mentioned in the previous post. It is one of my key indicators that I use when asking myself, “Have we reached the peak of this cycle?” 🤔

I use this website to check the current MOVR value overlaid on the BTC price.

📊 If MOVR exceeds 3.5, it's time to sell and prepare for a bear market. If MOVR falls below 1 (marked red on the chart) it's an ideal time for long-term purchases.

And yes, for those who are interested: the current MOVR value is 2.24

ETH delivered a strong pump today, jumping 7.1% in the last 24 hours. One of the best intraday moves in recent weeks, pushing price to local highs 🔼

Momentum is clearly strong, but looking at the hourly chart, RSI is deep in overbought territory and volume is starting to fade.

📉 Not calling a top, but if you're trading actively, this could be a spot to consider small short setups with tight stops. Just aiming for a quick 1%-2% pullback which is almost guaranteed 💸

Bitcoin just reclaimed $117,000 after a sharp bounce triggered by big news out of Washington 🔼

📝 President Trump has officially signed an executive order allowing crypto access in 401(k) retirement plans, unlocking a $12.5 trillion market for crypto.

For the first time since December 2024, ETH is trading above $4,000 again 🔼

After years of underperformance, the trend has flipped — Ethereum is now leading the market and dominating the narrative.

Will we see a new ATH soon?

Yes — 🐳

The S&P 500 is now basically a “Top 10 Index.” 📊

Earnings growth for the top 10 is up over 250% since 2019 — the other 490 companies have barely budged.

📈 Since early 2023, the top 10 stocks like MSFT, AAPL, NVDA, have carried nearly all price gains while the rest 490 stocks stayed flat.

This level of concentration is bizarre, and the market has never been more dependent on so few names 😐

If something goes wrong with just a few of these 10 companies...
