Best-selling

@Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus $WAL
What you’re looking at in this image is how the game is actually played.

Big money doesn’t care about RSI, MACD, or whatever indicator is trending this week.

They care about where liquidity sits, who’s trapped, and how to force reactions.

Retail looks at a chart and sees chaos, but institutions see the same setups repeating over and over.

– QML setups
– Fakeouts & liquidity grabs
– Demand/Supply flips
– Compression → Expansion
– Stop hunts disguised as breakouts
– Flag limits
– Reversal structures that happen over and over again

None of this is accidental.

Every pattern on that chart exists for one reason:

to move price into areas where orders are stacked.

Once you understand that, a lot of things stop hurting you.

You stop chasing green candles, you stop panic-selling red ones and you stop getting liquidated on moves that came out of nowhere.

Because they didn’t come out of nowhere, they came from structure.

This is why most traders lose… they react to price instead of understanding why price is moving.

The people who last in this market spend years studying charts like this until they finally understood it.

After that, the market feels slower, clearer and less emotional.

Save this image. Actually study it.

If you can learn to read what institutions are doing instead of guessing what comes next, you’re already ahead of 99% of people here.

I’ve been in this game for 20+ years, and I’ve called the last 3 market top and bottom publicly.

If you want to see my next move (coming soon), you just need to be following me with notifications.

If you still haven’t followed, well, you’ll regret it. Just watch

Trump said:
"Fed officials don’t talk much. Hassett is good at talking. He was good on TV, I want to keep him where he is."
@Cellula Re-poster #dusk $DUSK
Hassett was being seen as a potential candidate for the next Fed Chair and is known as a pro-liquidity, rate-cut friendly figure.

So when Trump hinted that Hassett would stay in his current role and not move toward the Fed, expectations for easier monetary policy weakened.

Markets reacted immediately:

Bitcoin dropped $1,300 (-1.32%)
Gold fell $80 (-1.78%)
Silver dumped ( -3.30%)
Nasdaq dumped ( -0.50%)

This was not random selling.

It was the market repricing lower chances of a more dovish, liquidity-friendly Fed leadership

Greg had a problem most people would kill to have: he was sitting on 50 Bitcoin, and it was boring him to death.
@Cellula Re-poster
skor three months, price had been stuck in a narrow channel between $92,000 and $98,000. While the rest of crypto chased meme coins and DeFi yields, Greg’s portfolio, worth nearly $4.7 million, was effectively dead money.

Then he saw the strategy that promised to fix it.

“Generate ~15–18% annualized yield on your Bitcoin,” the newsletter read. “Low risk. No leverage. Just selling upside you probably won’t need.”

It was called the Covered Call Strategy.

The pitch was seductive: you hold your Bitcoin. You sell a contract giving someone else the right to buy it at $100,000 next month. In exchange, they pay you cash today.

Greg ran the numbers. Selling calls would net him roughly $70,000 per month. Nearly $840,000 a year. Just for waiting.

“It’s like collecting rent on a house,” he told his friends. “I’m getting paid to hold.”

He didn’t realize he had just agreed to pick up nickels in front of a steamroller.

The Hidden Cost: Selling Your Convexity (Upside)
What the newsletter didn’t explain was Bitcoin’s first principle: Positive Upside (or convexity for nerds).

Bitcoin is asymmetric by design. It can go down 100%, but it can go up 1,000%, 10,000%, or more. You tolerate volatility because the right tail pays for everything.

By selling call options, Greg surgically removed that right tail.

Upside: Capped at $100,000
Downside: Fully intact

He engineered Negative upside (Convexity). The “yield” wasn’t income. It was an insurance premium. Greg had become the volatility seller in a market that exists to punish volatility sellers.

The Trap: The Hedge (Gamma) Flip ($93,640)
The trap sprang on a Tuesday morning. Greg’s dashboard flashed a warning he didn’t fully understand:

Gamma Flip: $93,640

This was the structural line in the sand for dealers.

Above $93,640: Dealers are "Long Gamma" and buy dips.
Below $93,640: Dealers flip "Short Gamma" and sell into weakness.

That morning, adverse regulatory headlines hit. Bitcoin slipped to $93,100. Once price crossed $93,640, the stabilizers vanished.

$93,100 became $91,000. $91,000 became $86,000. $86,000 became $82,000.

In six hours, Greg watched roughly $600,000 of mark-to-market value evaporate.

“At least I have the premium,” he thought.

He had collected $70,000 for the month. But the “safe yield” was a two-inch airbag in a 100-mph crash.

The Second Steamroller: The Recovery
The true tragedy of covered calls isn’t the drawdown. It’s the recovery.

Two weeks later, the panic proved temporary. Bitcoin didn’t just bounce it ripped. $85,000. $95,000. $105,000. $120,000.

This was the moment Greg had waited years for. The God Candle.

But he didn’t really own 50 Bitcoin anymore. He had sold the right to buy his coins at $100,000. When price hit $120,000, the calls were exercised.

Market Price: $120,000
Greg’s Exit Price: $100,000
Opportunity Transferred: $1,000,000

Greg kept his $70,000 premium. The call buyer kept the upside and the Lamborghini.

The Lesson
Greg learned too late that Yield is not Income. Yield is Risk in disguise.

Selling covered calls on Bitcoin is a bet that nothing interesting will happen. Bitcoin exists precisely because interesting things happen.

Greg is still in the market, but he no longer sells calls. In an asset engineered for exponential moves, capping your upside for a monthly paycheck is the most expensive mistake you can make.

He stopped trying to be a landlord collecting rent, and went back to being an owner building wealth.
#dusk $DUSK

While $BTC has chopped below $100K, gold ripped +61%, its biggest annual move since the late 1970s. #Bitcoin? Down ~11% over the same window.

That’s not a rejection of Bitcoin, that’s just risk management.
@Cellula Re-poster #dusk $DUSK
With a cautious Fed, sticky inflation, and geopolitical noise, institutions parked capital in the cleanest hedge first. Gold did its job. Fast.

You can even see it on-chain. Tokenized gold flows are concentrated in $PAXG and $XAUT, now dominating most of the tokenized commodity space. That’s where capital went while it waited.

This isn’t structural, it’s just tactical.

Institutions didn’t rotate out of Bitcoin forever. They rotated ahead of clarity. When the risk-off bid fades and macro pressure eases, that capital doesn’t stay in gold.

It looks for asymmetry. Gold is where capital hides, and Bitcoin is where it goes when it wants upside.
This divergence feels less like the end of a cycle and more like the setup before rotation back.

90% STRC / 10% MSTR
STRC locks in a fat, tax-deferred coupon. Keeps monthly bills paid without selling stock.
$900k in STRC + 11% dividend = $99k/yr straight into your account.
@Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus $WAL
10% MSTR is 1.25x levered exposure to a 30% BTC CAGR.

This grows far faster than inflation, letting you peel off a sliver each year to keep purchasing power intact.

$100k in MSTR growing 37.5%/yr means your $100k doubles every 26 months if untouched.

STRC’s 11 % coupon covers nearly the entire first-year lifestyle, so bills get paid without touching volatile assets.

A modest 10% slice in MSTR compounds fast enough to outrun 6 % inflation many times over, giving you a deep well to tap for rising expenses.

Capping MSTR at 10% keeps portfolio swings mild while preserving exponential upside.

More cautious? Go 95 / 5. Feeling bolder? Try 80 / 20.
The framework stays the same, only the growth buffer size changes

January 10th, 11 PM UTC. Someone lost $282M in Bitcoin and Litecoin through a hardware wallet social engineering scam.
1,459 BTC and 2.05 million LTC were stolen in a single attack.
@Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus $WAL
usere's why this matters for price action over the next few days.

The attacker is already moving funds aggressively.

Converting stolen LTC and BTC to Monero through multiple instant exchanges.

That selling pressure spiked $XMR prices temporarily as they absorbed massive buy orders.

They're also bridging BTC to Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin via Thorchain.

Diversifying across chains to make tracking harder and prepare for exit liquidity.

This isn't someone holding stolen coins long-term.

This is an active conversion and distribution happening right now.

$282M in selling pressure doesn't just disappear.

Even if they're converting through DEXs and instant exchanges, that creates downward pressure on BTC as they dump into liquidity pools and OTC desks.

The problem is timing.

Markets are already fragile with the Supreme Court tariff ruling and Fed speakers.

Now add nearly $300M in potentially forced selling from a hacker trying to exit positions before exchanges freeze wallets.

Bitcoin could see downward pressure for the next few days as this plays out.

Not because of fundamentals or macro. Just pure supply hitting the market from someone who needs to convert stolen assets fast.

Hackers don't wait for optimal prices. They sell into whatever liquidity is available because time is their enemy.

Every hour that passes is another hour for exchanges to blacklist addresses and freeze funds.

This means the market sells, not limit orders. Aggressive dumping into bid side to exit quickly.

$282M isn't economy-moving, but it's enough to impact price action short-term, especially in already volatile conditions.

If you're positioned long, just be aware this selling pressure exists and could show up randomly over next 48-72 hours as the attacker continues converting and moving funds.

Not predicting a crash.

Just flagging that nearly $300M in likely selling pressure from a motivated seller is overhead supply that wasn't there last week

#Bitcoin hat heute wieder gezeigt, wer hier wirklich die Kontrolle hat.
Und es sind nicht die Trader.
Der Ablauf war chirurgisch präzise:
→ 90 Minuten: -$1.800
→ Longs im Wert von $80M liquidiert
→ Retail-Panik setzt ein
→ 15 Minuten später: +$1.400
→ $20M Shorts werden vaporisiert

In weniger als zwei Stunden wurden $100 Millionen an gehebelten Positionen vom Markt gefegt. Beide Seiten. Erst die Bullen, dann die Bären.

Das ist kein Crash. Das ist kein Pump.

Das ist eine koordinierte Säuberung.

Ich nenne es den "Double Tap" – und ich sehe dieses Pattern immer häufiger. Der Markt bewegt sich nicht zufällig. Er bewegt sich dorthin, wo die Liquidität liegt.

Und die Liquidität liegt bei den gehebelten Positionen.

Was mich dabei wirklich beschäftigt: Die Geschwindigkeit der Erholung. 15 Minuten für $1.400 nach oben – das ist keine organische Käufer-Rally. Das sind Market Maker, die nach den Liquidierungen den Reset-Knopf drücken.

Für jeden der denkt, er könnte mit 10x oder 20x Leverage den Markt schlagen – dieser Chart ist deine Realität. Du bist nicht der Spieler. Du bist der Einsatz.

#Bitcoin testet gerade ein Level das in der gesamten Krypto-Geschichte noch nie gelogen hat.
Der Weekly MA50 – aktuell bei $101.400.
In Bärenmärkten wurde die6ser Moving Average nie wieder zurückerobert. Nicht 2018. Nicht 2022. Nie.
@Plasma #Plasma $XPL
Wer darunter schließt und unten bleibt, bestätigt den Bärenmarkt. Wer ihn zurückerobert und hält, startet die nächste Rallye.

Und genau da stehen wir jetzt.

#Bitcoin steht bei ~$95.500. Weniger als 6% vom kritischsten Level des gesamten Zyklus entfernt.

Was ich beobachte: Letzte Woche sind wir kurz drüber gebrochen, wurden aber direkt wieder abverkauft. Das war der erste Test. Die Reaktion zeigt, dass hier massive Orders liegen – auf beiden Seiten.

Warum das für euch wichtig ist: Dieses Level ist kein Indikator unter vielen. Es ist DAS Level. Wenn wir den Weekly Close über $101K schaffen, sind wir historisch betrachtet nicht mehr in Bärenmarkt-Territorium.

Die nächsten Wochen werden zeigen, ob die Bären die Kontrolle behalten – oder ob wir einen der wichtigsten Reclaims der Bitcoin-Geschichte sehen.

Ich halte dieses Level jetzt auf meinem Radar. Jede Weekly Candle zählt

THIS COIN JUST DID 2000%… AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT @Cellula Re-poster #dusk

$RIVER is up 2000% in just 30 days and this wasn’t random hype.

What’s behind the move 👇

• River is building chain-abstracted liquidity for BTC & RWAs

• Powers satUSD, an over-collateralized stablecoin usable across ETH, Base, BNB & Arbitrum... no bridges

• Yield vaults + points system driving real on-chain activity

• Integrated with protocols like Pendle & Morpho

Now the interesting part:
📉 Deep negative funding rates
📈 Strong capital inflows

Crowd leaning short while money flows in.
Is this just the beginning… or late-stage momentum?$DUSK
