Episode notes
Rapid 30% Correction Cycle
- Bitcoin fell ~30% from the October peak and is now negative on the year, signaling sharp short-term pain for holders.
- The drop compressed correction durations, showing each 30% drawdown this cycle happened faster than the last.
Liquidity vs. Price Disconnect
- Global liquidity is much higher now than when BTC last traded at these levels, contradicting expectations about price catching up to liquidity.
- Despite liquidity and oversold signals, short-term holders are deeply underwater which fuels fear and selling pressure.
Maintain Discipline During Volatility
- Stay mentally disciplined during volatility because persistent bids historically return after deep drawdowns.
- Keep your head on a swivel and prepare for eventual renewed demand from long-term buyers and whales.
