📉 Crypto Shaken as Bitcoin & Ether Slide: Market Faces Heavy Liquidations

In partnership with

👋 Hello Readers,

The crypto market just had one of its toughest 24-hour stretches in recent weeks. Heavy liquidations, cooling inflows, and macro uncertainty are weighing on sentiment. Let’s break down the numbers, market drivers, and what it could mean for traders in the days ahead.

🔥 Market Snapshot

📌 U.S. crypto equities were also hit: Coinbase (COIN) and MicroStrategy (MSTR) each slid over 3% pre-market, outpacing mild losses in stock benchmarks.

⚡ Why Did the Market Slide?

1. Leverage Flush-Out → $1.5B in leveraged positions liquidated; ETH accounted for ~⅓ of it.

2. ETF Divergence → Bitcoin ETFs pulled $3.48B in Sept, Ether ETFs just $407M.

3. Weaker Treasury Demand → Ethereum-focused treasuries have less buying power as NAVs shrink.

4. Macro Drag → A resilient U.S. dollar and cautious Fed outlook continue to cap risk appetite.

📊 Where the Money is Flowing

🔎 Key Insight: Bitcoin is attracting 2x the fresh capital compared to Ethereum this year, reinforcing its role as the market’s “reserve asset.”

🪙 Token Watch: Altcoins in Pain

• Double-digit losses: CRV, TIA, RAY, and PUMP at monthly lows.

• HYPE Token Supply Shock:

  • 237.8M tokens set to unlock over 24 months (~$500M/month).

  • Arthur Hayes’ Maelstrom fund sold 96,600 HYPE ($5.1M).

  • Price slipped below $46, extending a 3-day decline.

📉 Derivatives & Sentiment

📍 Traders on Binance are increasing short bets, with OI rising from 270K → 276K BTC.

🏦 Traditional Markets Check-In

👉 Gold vs. Bitcoin: BTC/gold ratio has dropped to 30.25, lowest since June, showing gold’s outperformance as a safe haven.

🏢 Crypto Equities Performance

🔮 Technical & Sentiment Outlook

• RSI Readings: Average crypto RSI at 28.4 → deeply oversold.

• Support Zones: BTC ~$112K, ETH ~$4,150. A break below could accelerate declines.

• Trader Psychology: Negative funding rates + oversold signals = potential for a short squeeze rally.

🚨 Key Takeaways

• $1.5B liquidation = biggest in months, flushing out leverage.

• Bitcoin ETFs continue to dominate inflows, signaling investor preference.

• Oversold metrics suggest a short-term rebound, but risks remain high.

• Gold is outperforming Bitcoin as the global haven of choice.

Buying Cannabis Online Is Now Legal, And Incredibly Convenient

For years, buying cannabis meant taking a trip to a dispensary, dealing with long lines, limited selection, and inconsistent pricing. But thanks to changing laws and innovative online retailers, buying high-quality THC products is now 100% federally legal—and more convenient than ever.

And when it comes to quality and reliability, Mood is leading the way…

Because they’ve completely flipped the script on cannabis shopping. Instead of memorizing hundreds of confusing strain names – like “Gorilla Glue” and "Purple Monkey Breath" – you simply choose how you want to feel: Creative, Social, Focused, Relaxed, Happy, Aroused, and more.

Each gummy is formulated with the perfect blend of Delta-9 THC and botanicals to deliver the perfect mood.

Want a great night’s sleep? Try the Sleepytime gummies. Need laser focus Mind Magic gummies have you covered. Hotter sex? Try the Sexual Euphoria gummies.

It's cannabis shopping that actually makes sense for “normal” people.
