“Crypto is a liquidity game now.”
@52kskew has been trading since the BitMEX days and now focuses on reading order flow, positioning, CVD, OI, funding, and what large players are actually doing.
We talked about market traps, why price action comes before indicators, how to separate real momentum from bait, and why most traders confuse speculation with actual trading.

I haven’t talked about GMGN much lately with market conditions the way they are, but if you’re trading, this is the place to do it. The site currently allows you trade across six different chains, which makes things convenient no matter where you’re active. On top of that, they’ve built in some great security tools to help you spot potential scams before you buy.
One feature I really like is the "degen audit." It gives quick useful data like what percentage of a token is held by the top 10 wallets and how much insider involvement there is in a project. The site also tries to identify insider and transfer wallets within individual projects.
They’re always rolling out new features on the site. You can now copy trade here as well. The site also allows you to wallet-watch if you just want to keep track of what a particular wallet is up to.
Full transparency: GMGN helps support me—it’s the only Web3 company I currently work with. So, if you’re trading and like my content, I’d really appreciate it if you used my referral link below if you decide to join.
