Why is Bitcoin Crashing? The narrative is everywhere: "This time is different." With spot ETFs and massive institutional flows, many believe the Bitcoin four-year cycle is finally dead. Our latest quantitative analysis suggests otherwise. The Four-Year Cycle is NOT Dead. It’s Structural. The persistence of the cycle isn't about retail speculation; it's rooted in the mechanics of the crypto market: 1️⃣ The Halving Effect: The supply shock remains the primary catalyst, suggesting a peak 12–18 months post-halving. 2️⃣ Structural Flaw: High leverage and the dominance of perpetual futures mean market stability is governed by liquidation mechanics, guaranteeing excess in the bull phase and catastrophic drawdowns. 3️⃣ Current Indicators: Bitcoin's lagging underperformance YTD and recent $20B liquidation cascade signal cyclical fatigue, not maturity. History doesn’t always repeat but it often rhymes. Read the full analysis here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eCN88uhn

CEO Stephan Lutz on BitMEX Resilience During the October Crypto Crash When the crypto market crashed on October 10–11, wiping out over $19B in positions, BitMEX stood firm, maintaining uptime, stability, and minimal liquidations while many platforms struggled. CEO Stephan Lutz credits this to BitMEX’s engineering-first approach. The exchange accepts only highly liquid, low-haircut assets held directly on the platform, while its Insurance Fund absorbed losses without risking solvency or lending user funds. Fair Price Marking, Auto-Deleveraging, and human oversight ensured control even during extreme volatility. 🔗 Read the full interview: https://lnkd.in/eY5D9d-E

Bitcoin's significant underperformance against the Nasdaq and S&P 500 highlights a critical shift in supply-demand dynamics within the crypto market. Our latest report provides key insights into Bitcoin's stagnation: 🌬️ Supply-Side Headwinds: Long-term holders are actively selling and rotating capital into surging AI/Tech stocks, creating persistent overhead supply near the $100K mark. ⛏️ Miner Pivot Risk: Major miners are strategically migrating operations to AI data centers, raising concerns about a potential long-term weakening of the Bitcoin network's hash rate and security. ⚠️ Demand Stagnation & Viability Concerns: Bitcoin ETF inflows have plateaued since mid-July, and increasing government seizures are challenging Bitcoin's core value proposition as a decentralised, non-state store of value, prompting interest in privacy coins like Zcash. For investors, the near-term outlook suggests continued choppiness unless whale selling subsides and ETF flows regain momentum.
