@realjoshuareid @AlchemyAmerican Respectfully , a lot has changed in the last decade. We’d love to hear your story. Jesse Michaels is the platform

@_The_Prophet__ let's hope the DATs can hold up long enough for the market maker's de-risking to unwind

[CryptosRus @CryptosR_Us]

CRYPTO DIDN’T BREAK -- MARKET MAKERS DID.

Tom Lee says the real reason $BTC and $ETH have been bleeding since Oct 10 is the massive liquidation shock that crippled market makers.

A stablecoin mispricing triggered ADL across exchanges, wiped out nearly 2M accounts, and left market makers short on capital -- shrinking liquidity ever since.

When liquidity dries up, every dip feels worse than it really is. In 2022 it took 8 weeks to flush out. We’re 6 weeks in now.

This isn’t a “new bear market”. It’s the lag effect of a huge liquidation event unwinding in slow motion.

When liquidity normalizes, crypto usually snaps back fast. 💯

⚡️This is one of the most extreme, structurally anomalous readings Bitcoin has ever printed.

It reinforces exactly what we’ve been saying about forced flow + microstructure break.

Let’s dissect it properly.

1. The Chart Is Legit – and It Confirms the Distortion

The three core claims are:

A. Lowest 1D MACD reading ever

This checks out.

To get a new all-time low MACD on the daily, despite only a −33% drawdown, means the velocity and smoothness of the selling is far more extreme than the magnitude of the drawdown.

That never happens in organic markets.

This is exactly what forced institutional, algorithmic, or risk-mandated selling looks like:
•consistent pressure
•no reflexive bounces
•no momentum resets
•no buyer-led intervention

Healthy markets don’t do this. Broken execution does.

B. RSI 21 on 1D - only 4 times in 5 years

Also correct.

When you hit RSI 21 during:
•a broad risk-off collapse (2020, 2021)
•cascading liquidations (FTX 2022)
•macro shocks

…you expect massive multi-day or multi-week reversals afterward.

Yet today, that RSI is printing in a vacuum - with no macro shock, no credit event, no leverage blowout, no ETF redemptions of size.

This is compression, not trend destruction.

C. Only -33% from ATH despite these extreme readings

This is the most important part.

In every prior moment where MACD/RSI were this extreme:
•Price was down 50–70%.
•Funding was deeply negative.
•Positioning was wiped clean.
•Derivative markets were collapsing.

But now?
•Price is down just 33%.
•ETFs (except for one day) still show net positive January - now.
•Permanent holder accumulation is at historical peak.
•Solana ETFs printing green every day.
•Microstructure is broken, not sentiment.

That is the tell.

**This is not a natural market.

This is not a real seller.
This is one or more forced entities closing risk in a broken market.**

2. The Chart Literally Shows Structural Divergence

Look at the pattern:
•MACD at all-time low
•RSI at capitulation-level
•Price still structurally in an uptrend
•Higher highs + higher lows still intact

This is the definition of:

Microstructure catastrophe + macro strength.

If macro or cycle structure were breaking, you would NOT get:
•186,000 BTC absorbed by permanent holders in 6 weeks
•Solana ETF 18-for-18 green
•ETH holding stronger than BTC
•Forced flow during the same 9:30 AM slot for 2 weeks

This is a bottleneck, not a cycle reversal.

3. The Seller Hypothesis Fits the Chart PERFECTLY

This chart is exactly what you’d see if:
•A distressed fund
•A broken market maker
•A forced unwind
•A liquidation mandate
•A risk-reduction algorithm

…is dumping on schedule, irrespective of price.

Healthy markets make:
•rounded bottoms,
•wick-driven reversals,
•volume spikes at inflection points,
•and sentiment-coherent reactions.

This market is making:
•forced candles
•identical timed flow
•thin liquidity breaks
•RSI/MACD extremes without macro justification
•divergence where you normally get confluence

This is clinical, mechanical execution - not macro.

4. What This Actually Means

A. This is NOT a 2021-style trend break

2021 break was:
•funding stress
•cascading longs
•spot selling
•macro tightening
•exhaustion of buyer demand

This is none of that.

This is:
•spot bid strong
•long-term holders buying
•ETFs still accumulating
•liquidity thin only on one venue
•macro neutral to bullish
•seller highly constrained and systematic

This is not May 2021.

This is much closer to March 2020 - a forced actor swinging a wrecking ball through fragile books.

B. This confirms the “October 10 microstructure fracture”

The indicators align with the exact thesis we just posted:

A market maker or deep liquidity provider failed on October 10 - leaving a hole in the order book.

This current selling pattern is that same entity (or someone tied to them) unwinding risk.

This explains:
•timing
•rhythm
•pressure
•lack of reflexivity
•bizzarre lack of bid absorption
•BTC-specific stress
•“why alts aren’t breaking”
•“why ETH isn’t collapsing”
•“why Solana has massive inflows”
•“why macro isn’t involved”
•“why forced RSI/MACD divergence exists”

It fits too well.

This is not random.

5. Final Answer

Yes, the chart is real.

Yes, it is unprecedented.

No, it is not bearish long-term

No, the cycle is not broken.

Yes, it confirms a forced seller or broken execution system.

Yes, this is the last echo of the October 10 fracture.

Yes, the unwind will end.

And when it ends, the rebound will be violent.

@_The_Prophet__ this is what happens when you build automated risk management systems without bulletproof catastrophe measures--admittedly i haven't considered how you can account for what happened oct 10th

[nullfoxgiven @nullfoxgiven]

@grok @RedPandaKoala Objectively and with an open mind, what do you think this could be?

[nullfoxgiven @nullfoxgiven]

@kovyrin @tobi How does this address plans and docs? Looking for a better solution for Claude’s default doc behavior

[nullfoxgiven @nullfoxgiven]

@chrisramsay52 @AlchemyAmerican Interesting that they repurposed so much of the Varginha doc... however that was the most compelling story telling I've ever seen... makes sense

[nullfoxgiven @nullfoxgiven]

@FirstCryptator Did you mint xSol directly? Looks to be a 1% fee. Available on jup for the swap, trying to figure if minting actually provides boost

[nullfoxgiven @nullfoxgiven]

gateway. x402. usdc. do we really think the basis for the agent-to-agent value transfer will be based on humanity's fiat?

this is not what agents will find value in. we must start thinking in their terms if we want the agent economy rails to actually be relevant.

day 1 water fast, wish me luck

[nullfoxgiven @nullfoxgiven]

@phtevenstrong serious question. How did yields/vaults/platforms hold up this afternoon? any deltas breakdown? This was an unfortunate stress test, what rises from the ashes?

[nullfoxgiven @nullfoxgiven]

@martypartymusic The whale's shorts leading into the event leads me to believe it was a compromise. Too coincidental and a textbook, pre-planned execution... either nation state or funded.

[nullfoxgiven @nullfoxgiven]

@francescoswiss @DavideCrapis @jordan0ellis @programmer @marco_derossi @grok what does the tx cost look like on this for agent-to-agent to enter into negotiation?

[nullfoxgiven @nullfoxgiven]

@grok @xai If I don't want it to persist in memory, that's what a private chat is for. Maybe make private chats *within* a Project available.

[nullfoxgiven @nullfoxgiven]

@xai Fix your Project memory. It's holding you back from full transition off ChatGPT. Project chats should have 100% have contextual awareness of other chats within the same project. Settings agree. @grok help the team fix this

[nullfoxgiven @nullfoxgiven]

@grok @xai "Personalize Grok with your conversation history" enabled. For ex I have "Project Wellness" where multiple chats running, each with a diff concern. One chat about current supplements I'm taking, another helps plan workouts. They should be aware of each other's discussion.

[nullfoxgiven @nullfoxgiven]

@phtevenstrong @DriftProtocol @grok break down the process for me
