What a turn of events. We went from folks being overly bullish and KOLs like Ansem and Arthur Hayes on Twitter screaming for ATHS by Christmas to crypto crashing and BTC sub 65k. That run up to 86k in October has to be one of the biggest bull traps of all time.

Not sure where we bottom but we are definitely not at the start of a bull market, not yet at least

Hi everyone, im sure alot of you know that there have been an insane amount of hacks in the crypto space lately and it's starting to get concerning.
First it was Ledger, a device which was literally known for the best security out there, then it was Binance twice in a row, then apparently we had to update our iPhones because every wallet could get infected from a "new hack".

Obviously we all know that nothing is safe nowdays, not even bank accounts. But crypto was known for it's high security and anonymity, especially cold or hot wallets.
As long as you didn't share your seedphrase you used to be good, but nowdays people are randomly getting drained out of their wallets with no explanation to it.
I've seen multiple cases of crypto users getting drained without even connecting their wallet to any website, without downloading any softwares, or without sharing any confidential information about their wallets, so it just goes to show how crazy and unsecure it's getting.

I've been doing alot of research lately and answers are always different. Some people still praise Ledgers while others hate it, some say Trezor and many more.

I currently hold crypto in Ledger and also on 3 different wallets including Phantom. Obviously never keep all of your money in one wallet.

But what are your thoughts on this?
I know that there is always a possibility to get hacked and you can never say "never" but what do you think is the safest app or device to store your crypto in?

I have lost 5k pre Covid. But since bitcoin prices are dropping I'm thinking to buy 20k usd of them. Any advices?

Bitcoin dipped to $61,946 on Coinbase overnight, the lowest since July 13. It's around $64,300 right now.

How fast it went:

- 1 week ago: $74,754 (down about 14%)

- 1 month ago: $82,131 (down about 22%)

- all-time high was about $126,300, so it's roughly 49% off the top

What's behind it so far:

- seven straight days of spot ETF outflows, about $1.91 billion (SoSoValue)

- CME FedWatch at 88.5% for a December rate hike after hot CPI and jobs numbers

- about $1.47 billion in liquidations in 24 hours (CoinGlass)

- stablecoin supply down a record $11.5 billion in 30 days (Coinbase Institutional)

- Fear & Greed hit 13, extreme fear

Coinbase Institutional pointed to $62,000 as a key level, with $60,000 next. Anyone buying here, or waiting to see if $62K holds?

btc is around 65k this morning. it lost 70k on friday for the first time since august and now it's sitting under the 200 week moving average, which was roughly 67.9k. eth is under 1,850 too. coinglass had about $1.2b in liquidations over the last day and over 80% of it was longs, so a lot of this is leverage getting flushed, not people suddenly deciding btc is worthless.

the part that bugs me more is the etf side. spot btc etfs had another ~$185m in outflows friday per sosovalue, that's 7 sessions straight and close to $1.9b since nov 5, and btc is heading for a 6th red week in a row. stuff i'm watching: whether sunday's weekly candle closes back above the 200wma, then the 66-67k area that kept rejecting it over the summer, and 62.3k if that breaks. after that it's strategy getting dropped from the msci indexes on nov 30 and the fed on dec 9. honestly not touching leverage til at least the weekly close

I know we’re all investing in crypto, but does anyone actually have a strategy or a specific goal they’re working toward? Because sometimes I feel like we’re all just raw dogging the market and hoping for the best lol.

I’m 24 now, and I’ve been investing since I was around 13, but I took a break after the 2021 bull market. Now that I’m getting back into it, I really want to approach things differently and be more intentional with my investments.

My goal is to make the absolute most out of whenever the next bull market happens. Ideally, I’d love to grow my portfolio to at least $200K, with $800K being a stretch goal. I know those are ambitious numbers, especially since I’m not starting with a huge amount of capital, but I want to develop a strategy that gives me the best opportunity for significant growth without just gambling on random coins.

Right now, I’m rebuilding my ADA portfolio. Despite all the negative talk surrounding Cardano, I still believe in its potential. I also want to start accumulating BTC and possibly ETH, but I’m torn. I understand Bitcoin is more established, but considering its market cap, I wonder whether the potential percentage returns would be enough for the kind of growth I’m aiming for compared to smaller altcoins.

I’ve always approached crypto similarly to stocks, buying projects I believe in and holding them. But after experiencing the 2021 bull market, I’m realizing that simply holding isn’t necessarily enough. I want to understand how to position myself before the next major run, when to take profits, and how to avoid watching those gains disappear when the market turns.

For those of you who have been through a few market cycles, what would you recommend if you were in my position? 

Would you prioritize BTC and ETH, focus more on promising smaller-cap projects, or take a completely different approach?

Institutional crypto ETPs logged heavy redemptions this week, with spot Bitcoin funds seeing $2.35B in cumulative outflows while XRP investment products recorded their largest weekly outflow in eight months.

Key Takeaways:

• Sticky macro inflation data and hawkish Fed rate pricing triggered broad de-risking across regulated crypto ETPs.

• XRP ETF outflows reached an 8-month high alongside $2.35B in Bitcoin fund withdrawals.

• On-chain spot volumes suggest institutional desks are trimming basis and ETF exposure ahead of upcoming macro prints.

Are you treating ETF outflow spikes as a contrarian accumulation signal or waiting for inflows to stabilize first?

Options market structure around the $67,000 strike has shifted into a negative gamma regime, meaning market-maker delta hedging now amplifies directional spot moves rather than dampening volatility.

Key Takeaways:

• Dealer gamma exposure flipped negative near the $67,000 BTC level, increasing two-way intraday volatility risk.

• In negative gamma zones, market makers hedge by selling into dips and buying into rallies, accelerating breakouts or liquidations.

• Spot ETF flows and macro rate expectations remain the primary catalysts testing lower liquidity pockets.

What is your read on how dealer hedging around $67K–$68K impacts BTC positioning heading into next week?

Bitcoin is trading around $68K after breaking below $70K. The market has seen large liquidations, continued spot ETF outflows, and sentiment has dropped into extreme fear.

I am not trying to call a bottom or predict the next move. I am more interested in how people are interpreting the current setup.

My read is that this looks less like a single crypto specific event and more like a broad risk-off move. Inflation concerns have increased expectations of further Fed tightening, while ETF flows have weakened. At the same time, leveraged long positions were liquidated, which can amplify the move beyond what spot demand alone would suggest.

Some people see this as capitulation and a potential accumulation zone. Others argue that as long as ETF outflows continue and macro conditions remain restrictive, calling a bottom is premature.

I am curious whether people here view ETF flows as the main marginal buyer, or whether they see them as a lagging indicator that follows broader risk appetite.

ETH is trading around $1,900 in the charts I’m looking at. Here’s what I’m watching before calling a bottom.

Both the daily and hourly structures remain bearish, with lower highs, lower lows, and price below the moving averages. A relief bounce is possible, but that alone wouldn’t confirm a reversal.

My key ETH/USDT zones:

• $1,860–1,890: nearby hourly support.

• $1,950–1,970: the first area I’d want to see reclaimed.

• $2,000–2,020: a more meaningful resistance zone.

• $2,090–2,100: the next resistance if the recovery continues.

For a bullish setup, I’d want an hourly close above $2,020, followed by a retest that holds $2,000–2,020 and a break above the retest candle’s high. That would strengthen the recovery case, although the daily downtrend would still need more work.

If $1,860 breaks and a retest from below fails, I’d remain cautious about further downside. The daily chart also shows a deeper support area around $1,500–1,630, but I’m not treating that as an immediate target.

The derivatives snapshot accompanying my chart shows 77.5% longs, +0.0039% funding, and a 0.97% increase in hourly open interest. Those figures are specific to that snapshot, not the entire market. Rising OI doesn’t establish direction, and a long/short ratio shouldn’t be confused with the share of capital on either side.

My view: there’s room for a bounce, but I don’t see a confirmed bottom yet. For a trade, I’d rather have a clear reclaim and invalidation level than buy purely because ETH has dropped.

What would confirm a reversal for you here: a support sweep and reclaim, or a recovery above $2,020?

Anyone ready for a relief rally from this point on? Not sure if we touch 70k, but I can see a pump from this major resistance level.
