📉 Market Meltdown: The 10 Charts Defining the Crash

The financial markets are in total disarray this weekend. From commodities to crypto, volatility has exploded. Here is the visual breakdown of the chaos:

1. The Silver Fracture

The most alarming chart in finance right now isn't a stock—it's Silver. A massive arbitrage gap has opened up (see chart), with Shanghai spot prices ($122) trading at a nearly 45% premium over Western markets ($84). While the paper price crashes in the US, the East is screaming for physical metal.

2. Institutional Capitulation

The "smart money" is hitting the eject button. Larry Fink’s BlackRock (IBIT) recorded its largest single-day outflow ever, dumping over $521 million in Bitcoin. The era of "institutional only up" appears to be over for now.

3. Retail Apathy

Why is the price dropping? Because no one is looking. Google Trends data reveals that search interest for "Bitcoin" has collapsed to yearly lows. The retail crowd has checked out, leaving the market to the whales.

4. The "Whale" Wipeout

Speaking of whales, they are taking heavy damage. Tom Lee’s Bitmine strategy is reportedly sitting on a $6 billion unrealized loss as Ethereum tumbles, testing the conviction of even the biggest bulls.

5. The "Degen" Rotation

In a true sign of market madness, while blue-chip assets bleed, speculators are gambling on volatility.

* The Losers: Major altcoins like ORDI (-21.7%) and RAY (-23.4%) are getting slaughtered.

* The Winners: Traders are rotating into low-cap coins like RAD (+26.8%) and SENT (+13.9%), trying to catch a pump while the ship sinks.

6. The Last Line of Defense

All eyes are on the Bitcoin chart. Price action is currently testing the critical $84,000–$85,000 support zone. Bulls are praying for the "long lower wick" to hold and trigger a bounce back toward $92k. If this level breaks, the "red arrow" could go much deeper.
