🚨 Whales are already in the red but continue to buy — is the market preparing a trap or forming a bottom?
#whalebtc #bitcoin #metrics $BTC An extremely interesting situation is forming in the market: large players are realizing billion-dollar losses, but at the same time are increasing positions. — Recent large purchases were made in the region of $96K, after which the decline began: • February 3 — -$944M • February 4 — -$431M • February 5 — -$1.46B
🚨 The market is on the brink of a phase change: BTC maintains control, but altseason may be approaching
#bitcoin #metrics Several strong metrics indicate a turning point in the cycle — such periods often determine the market direction for months ahead. — The Bitcoin Vector indicator previously accurately marked the altcoin rally and subsequent reversal in January. The market is currently in a BTC cycle, but the indicators are gradually shifting towards altcoins.
🚨 BTC at the extremes of metrics: is the market close to a resolution?
— The Sharpe ratio of BTC has fallen to -10 — the lowest since March 2023 (the risk/return ratio has sharply deteriorated). — The correlation of altcoins with BTC over 20 days is 0.86. Historically, such values have often formed near market lows. — z-score of the liquidity oscillator: -1.39σ — a zone close to major accumulation phases.
Interestingly, the macroeconomics currently look stronger: the ISM index is rising, and the manufacturing sector is showing the best momentum in years.
However, BTC has decreased by about 23% year-on-year during this time, temporarily falling out of the logic of “following macro”. Such divergences usually do not last long — the market either catches up with the economy, or the macro environment starts to deteriorate.
— A negative Sharpe indicates increased volatility and a nervous market — High correlation of altcoins strengthens systemic sell-offs — Negative liquidity increases the chance of a final liquidation before a reversal.
Extreme indicator values are not a signal to “buy urgently,” but rather a sign that the market is entering a phase of heightened uncertainty. In such moments, strategy and risk control are more important.
🤖 The next big trend may not just be AI — but AI + crypto.
• AI will be able to pay for services on its own and operate without banks. • Programs will be able to make deals with each other. • Blockchain will become the "cash register" for the new digital economy.
When new technologies emerge — the infrastructure grows first.
The main struggle of the future is for control over AI. Decentralization versus corporations.
This is not a story about quick gains. This could be the foundation of the next technological cycle.
📉 Euphoria is fading — the crypto market is returning to reality.
• Bitcoin has pulled back to lows — overheated expectations are cooling off. • The CLARITY bill is stuck in the Senate — they can't come to an agreement, meaning the rules of the game remain unclear.
The Fed plans to launch special accounts for crypto and fintech companies.
👉 This will simplify access to the U.S. payment system. 👉 But without interest and without emergency liquidity — there is no full integration into the financial system.
Conclusion: The market is transitioning from a hype phase to a maturity phase. Less emotion — more regulation.
BTC at critical levels: what does on-chain and macro say?
Bitcoin is approaching a zone where strong decisions by major players have historically formed — and the data currently looks ambiguous.
— Current price: ~$70.8k — Price 4 years ago: $44k → return of about +61% — STH MVRV: -0.75 — lows since September 2022 (a sign of being oversold) — Bull/Bear Index rose to 9.6 — extremely bullish sentiment in traditional markets, which is often interpreted as a counter-signal
Negative MVRV indicates that short-term holders are realizing unrealized losses — such periods are often accompanied by capitulation and the transfer of coins to more patient investors.
At the same time, excessive optimism in the stock market is a classic environment where risk assets can face increased volatility.
— Loss of the zone around True Mean may accelerate selling pressure — Overheated sentiment in macro sometimes precedes corrections — Being oversold does not rule out a final "liquidity washout".
— The last time BTC entered the oversold zone according to Bollinger STH MVRV, the price subsequently increased by approximately +1900% — On February 6, 66.94 thousand BTC flowed into accumulation addresses — the largest influx in the current cycle — Estimated cost of mining — about $67k, and historically BTC rarely stays below this level
Cost is important because Bitcoin largely behaves like a commodity: prolonged trading below production costs usually reduces supply — weak miners leave, selling pressure decreases.
At the same time, a media pattern is noticeable: major publications tend to amplify negativity on declines and become more positive on increases. This reflects not so much analysis, but reaction to crowd sentiment.
— Oversold does not guarantee an immediate reversal — Macro factors and liquidity can still pressure the price — “Cost” levels are a model, not an exact turning point
It is most important to watch whether BTC is accumulating near key zones. The behavior of large players is often more important than headlines.

1st They are showing a rebound, selling pressure has eased on Coinbase. They are trying to demonstrate a V-shaped reversal, but I suggest working only with stop losses (any long position at the moment is counter-trend, and there are places to take from and close out shorts).
2nd They have been doing this lately (letting the price go) to sell at a higher price, rather than at the low, and then moving on to the next test and closing out long positions.😄
