The market moved fast, flushed leverage, and reminded everyone that crypto is still an efficiency machine it clears excess aggressively. When positioning gets crowded, price corrects it without warning. What’s happening right now isn’t unusual. It’s mechanics. When downside momentum accelerates: • Overleveraged longs get forced out • Liquidity pockets get swept • Volatility expands temporarily • Stronger hands wait instead of react This phase is uncomfortable, but it’s also necessary. Markets don’t build sustainable upside without first removing weak structure underneath. The real question isn’t “why is it dropping?” It’s: Is spot demand absorbing this? Is volatility compressing after the flush? Is fear outperforming fundamentals? Pressure phases separate gamblers from operators. Stay calculated.
