As the market matures and the broader economic landscape shifts, Bitcoin has 
once again found itself at a thrilling crossroads, with the entire crypto 
market watching closely as momentum builds on both sides of the chart. This 
moment of market volatility is a profound inflection point, where the 
interplay of rising institutional adoption and changing global macroeconomic 
conditions is converging. Historical Breakout Zones Align With Price Structure 
Bitcoin is currently sitting at a thrilling crossroads. In an X post, an 
analyst known as CryptoCrewU has stated that BTC is witnessing the strongest 
bearish divergence in years, paired with a rare 2-week close below the 
21-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) of this bull run. Related Reading:

the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently dipping into levels reminiscent 
of past pivotal moments in 2015, 2018, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2022 
bottoms. Meanwhile, the Stoch RSI has yet to cross upwards, hinting at the 
full extent of the potential move ahead. While fear is at its peak in the 
market right now, history shows that buying during these market lows has 
consistently led to significant profits over the past 5 years. &#8220;Let data guide 
you, not emotions,&#8221; CryptoCrewU noted. Trader_XO highlighted that since 2015, 
one pattern has remained remarkably consistent in Bitcoin’s cycle. 
Historically, whenever breaks below the 50-week Moving Average (MA), it has 
often signaled a deeper move toward the 200-week MA, or even the 300-week MA. 
Meanwhile, BTC tends to treat the 200-week MA as a major cycle support area. 
The price has only dipped below the 300-week MA once in history, and anything 
trading below the 200-week MA has been relatively short-lived, aligning with 
the best part of the cycle lows. According to Trader_XO, if the price were to 
revisit those lower moving average levels, and the broader market context 
aligns, that area would be viewed as a high-probability buying opportunity, 
unless this time the move is different. Market Structure Shows Early Signs Of 
Strength Returning Bitcoin is finally showing signs of strength again. A Full- 
time crypto teacher, Sykodelic, has pointed out that for the first time since 
the drop from $116,000, the price has broken above its previous low-time-frame 
(LTF) range, with a strong push above the 50 SMA. Related Reading: Bitcoin 
Price Powers Over $90K as Buyers Suddenly Regain Control of the Trend Since 
the $116,000 rejection, every time BTC attempts to move into an upper range, 
it gets rejected and makes new lows. This time, BTC has finally pushed higher. 
Currently, this is simply an LTF action, but these subtle shifts are exactly 
what to watch out for when it comes to understanding the nature of trend 
reversals. A daily close above $87,000 will confirm the breakout of the trend. 
Sykodelic concluded that moving higher after a drop like that is intricate, 
and it can take time. Therefore, observe the signs and move accordingly to see 
how the daily close goes. Featured image from Pngtree, chart from

Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz says the October 10th crash in crypto was 
far more than a routine shakeout, claiming that roughly a third of market 
makers in parts of the ecosystem were effectively wiped out. &#8220;We had a flash 
crash and it did a lot of damage to the fabric of the market,” Novogratz told 
Anthony Scaramucci on the first-ever episode of “All Things Markets,” recorded 
November 26. “Even on Hyperliquid, the market makers, you know, 30 percent of 
them went out of business. Got zeroed.” Scaramucci framed the last 20 trading 
days as another brutal reminder of crypto’s structural volatility. “I know I 
have a trap door on my portfolio,” he said. “Once in a while I’ll be walking 
across the living room feeling beautiful about myself. And then, boom, a trap 
door opens and I have fallen into the basement of the house.” Related Reading: 
Will Crypto Explode If Kevin Hassett Takes Over The Fed In 2026? According to 
Novogratz, this particular trap door opened at Binance. “It started really by, 
you know, at Binance, they had an oracle which set price misfunction,” he 
said. That error hit a synthetic stablecoin and “created a cascade where 
people were getting stopped out because there was the wrong price.” The 
dislocation then bled into levered perpetual markets “like Hyperliquid, like 
Uniswap,” where “as prices went down, people started getting liquidated.” He 
argued that the way crypto participants use leverage turned a technical glitch 
into a systemic event. “What people don’t understand about crypto is that the 
crypto investor doesn’t play for 10, 11, 12 percent returns,” he said. “Crypto 
investor call themselves degens with pride. They want to turn one into 15. And 
so they trade a very volatile asset with a lot of leverage.” Perpetual futures 
make that leverage particularly dangerous for liquidity providers. “Perpetual 
futures are not normal futures,” Novogratz said, crediting “the genius that 
Arthur Hayes and his group of people” for a design where “as longs get 
liquidated, they’re paired off against shorts.” In a fast collapse, “you could 
be short and you lose your short position. Well, if you’re long on another 
exchange against that short position, you’re shit out of luck. And that 
happened to a lot of market makers.” Will The Crypto Market Recover? The 
result, he said, was a sharp loss of liquidity and retail capital. “We lost a 
lot of liquidity in the market. We lost a lot of retail punters who lost their 
stack,” he noted, adding that after such a wipeout “it takes a while for 
Humpty Dumpty to get put back together again.” Novogratz said he initially 
expected higher levels to hold. “I actually, to be fair, thought we were going 
to hold at higher levels at $90,000,” he admitted. “And we went all the way to 
$80,000. $80,000 was a maximum pain point… Got to $1.80 on XRP. We got to $125 
on Solana. Real pain points.” He links the subsequent rebound to macro 
tailwinds, not healed sentiment. “Now we bounce up. We bounce because of the 
Fed. But we’re not out of the woods,” he said. “I do think Bitcoin will climb 
back towards $100,000 by the end of the year, but there’ll be sellers waiting 
there. We’ve done some medium-term damage to the psychology of the market.”

Liquidity Veteran On the spot side, he highlighted massive profit-taking by 
early holders against ETF-driven inflows. “We had one $9 billion seller,” he 
said. “That’s one-third of all of IBIT’s flows of the year.” As US wealth 
channels move “from a zero weighting to a 3 to 4 percent weighting” in 
Bitcoin, that “was met with OG sellers.” “In the long run, that’s healthy,” he 
said. “In the short run, that’s painful.” Novogratz also argued that crypto is 
being repriced as a real business ecosystem rather than a pure story. “It’s a 
transition from just being a story — ‘we’re the most important industry… we’re 
going to decentralize the world’ — to ‘show me what crypto actually does,’” he 
said. “Some businesses are making money. Some businesses aren’t. There are 
some token ecosystems that make common sense to an investor and there’s some 
that all feel like they’re just an association.” Overlaying it all is a macro 
backdrop he views as increasingly supportive. He called the Fed’s recent 
signals and plans to ease bank cash requirements in repo “a monstrous 
liquidity boom that’s coming,” adding that “they’re going to bring rates down 
to 2 percent in the next 16 months” and that inflation will “creep higher,” 
implying negative real rates. For crypto, the message is double-edged: 
structurally de-levered, with fewer market makers and wounded sentiment, but 
still tied to a global liquidity cycle that Novogratz believes is turning in 
its favor — once Humpty Dumpty gets put back together again. At press time, 
Bitcoin traded at $91,115. Featured image from YouTube, chart from
