๐ Zcash Forms a McDonaldโs Pattern โ Crashes Back to $500
Zcash just repeated its classic โMcDonaldโs patternโ on the chart โ a sharp pump followed by an equally sharp dump.
The coin was slammed back down to $500, erasing the recent spike as quickly as it appeared.
ZEC once again proves its reputation as a volatile asset where every rally ends up looking like a fast-food logo ๐

๐ป Market sentiment turns extremely bearish
Social sentiment around Bitcoin plummeted this weekend to its lowest level since December 11, 2023 (according to Santiment). ๐ง
Across X, Reddit, Telegram and other platforms, retail traders appear to be capitulating, and panic-selling has reached levels not seen in almost two years. ๐
But there are early signs of stabilization:
๐น Bitcoin has recovered back to ~$86,000
๐น Growth is slow, but still better than further decline
๐น The Fear & Greed Index has inched up โ though it remains in Extreme Fear at 19
Historically, extreme fear often signals that the market may be near exhaustion of sellers. Letโs see if this becomes another turning point. โณ

๐ช Wall Street Cuts $5.4B in Strategy (MSTR) โ Pressure Intensifies
Several major institutions โ including Capital International, Vanguard, BlackRock, and Fidelity โ collectively slashed their Strategy (MSTR) positions by ~$5.4B in Q3 2025, each reducing exposure by more than $1B. ๐
Over the past month, Strategyโs market cap has already fallen 41%. ๐
Even internally things look shaky: EVP Shao Wei-Min sold 58,004 MSTR shares worth $13M in the past 10 days. ๐
Concerns are escalating as Strategy may be removed from major stock indices, forcing index funds to sell and increasing market pressure. Supporters of BTC and Strategy are now calling to boycott JPMorgan, which highlighted the potential exclusions.
Strategy appears to be walking on thin ice โ and the market is reacting accordingly. โธ

๐ท BTC Open Interest Shows the Sharpest 30-Day Drop of the Cycle
Bitcoinโs open interest has just recorded its steepest 30-day decline of the entire cycle โ a level last seen only during the 2022 bear market, according to CryptoQuant.
The sharp reduction in positions, especially on Binance, signals a major market โflushโ: traders are closing losing positions, cutting leverage and reducing exposure after weeks of sell-offs and liquidations. ๐
Historically, such deep cleanup phases often appear near market bottoms and create conditions for the next stage of recovery in the bullish trend. ๐

Bitcoin Block Took 17 Minutes to Mine Yesterday ๐
Miners unusually spent 17 minutes finding a new BTC block instead of the usual ~10, sparking discussions across the network.
Such delays arenโt unheard of:
โข One of the longest confirmed intervals was 85 minutes.
โข Other documented cases stretched to 2 hours 19 minutes.
โข The ultimate record remains between the Genesis block and block #1 โ over 5 days.
Long block times typically happen when the hashrate drops, meaning fewer miners or temporarily disconnected hardware, slowing down the discovery of the next block.

๐ On-chain data shows that the most recent market dump reshuffled 5.8% of the entire Bitcoin supply into new hands. ๐
Such large-scale redistribution typically happens during periods of capitulation, when weaker holders sell and long-term or higher-conviction buyers step in.
Historically, these phases often mark key turning points in market cycles โ though it may take time before the trend becomes clear. ๐

๐๐บ๐ธ Interesting observation: Almost the entire Bitcoin decline since October 10 has been driven by U.S. trading sessions.
While Asia and Europe showed more balanced or neutral flows, the American sessions consistently added selling pressure โ effectively shaping the whole downside move.
Whether itโs macro fear, ETF outflows, or simply U.S. traders hitting the panic button more aggressively, the pattern is hard to ignore. ๐ง
If sentiment flips in the U.S., the trend could change just as fast. ๐
