Liquidity grab above 86k and then we’ve sliding down for a couple of hours now.
Alts were showing weakness beforehand, indicating an overall defensive market.
Trump catalyzed the rejection with some more bearish news regarding progress on China tariffs, but BTC has been holding up relatively well.
Some interesting long bids on binance futures getting filled, but spot doesn’t seem to interested to follow atm.
Curious to see what Powell will say tomorrow, but with VIX coming down, I don't think he needs to whip out any financial-stability measures.
(Mostly the same positioning as yesterday) Positioning : Delta-neutral. Waiting for QE. Looking like we need more pain. - Long BTC(looking to add around 81k), HYPE - Short ETH, ENA, APT, SUI, XRP…
Positives - BTC follows Gold narrative? - Global M2 breaking out to upside. M2 doesn’t equal liquidity, but it’s had a good correlation. https://t.co/AhwZSC9GeJ
Negatives - Opex is Thursday as Friday is off. Perhaps some risk off into long weekend? Depends of Powell. - Earnings are getting adjusted for the tariffs. NVIDIA down 5% on the ban from selling H20s, probably more similar news to come. I'd stay defensive at least towards the end of these until early May. - Market currently feels like it was expecting QE, but seeing markets kinda stabilize, so risk might have to come off.
Stay safe frens ✌️

met with the man, the legend, the bera(?) @CryptoSources good to share past-cycle war stories with a true degen thanks for setting up the dinner @KiKi_Blockverse
Portfolio is stable after shifting from Bullish to Neutral. ETH and some memecoins continued pumping and ate into some of the pnl, but profits from ENA shorts covered the losses.
Feeling comfy being neutral; staying long BTC HYPE, Short alts. Added to more ENA and SUI shorts.
Feels very mid range.
- If Bessent doesn’t seem worried and says he has lots of tools in the toolbox. To me this tells me, be ready for more pain before “QE” QE. https://t.co/diPf4xero7
- Saylor did a $285m through ATM offering. Supported price pretty well. Previously in March it was $584m. So demand halved. Not great, but be quite volatile.
Positioning : Delta-neutral. Waiting for QE. Looking like we need more pain. - Long BTC, HYPE - Short ETH, ENA, APT, SUI, XRP, FARTCOIN…
Positives - BTC follows Gold narrative? - Global M2 breaking out to upside. M2 doesn’t equal liquidity, but it’s had a good correlation. https://t.co/AhwZSC9GeJ Negatives - 85-86k area is ask heavy for both futures and spot on Binance - Currently price being held up by idiosyncratic spot buyer on Coinbase - Delayed QE? Stay safe frens✌️

It’s been a bullish weekend continued off the trump-put on Wed.
TP’d Fartcoin and hedged my longs with alts after a muted reaction from the fake news saying the USG would buy BTC with Gold.
Trump has reverse uno’d everyone with the tariffs, but we’re still seeing interesting strength on the Asian open.
I’m gonna fade it for now. I think this move is mostly done.
Will be looking to buy dips.
Positioning : Delta-neutral. Waiting for QE. - Long BTC, HYPE - Short ETH, FARTCOIN, ENA, APT, SUI, XRP…
Positives - BTC follows Gold narrative? - Liquidity backstop theory(QE) - Global M2 breaking out to upside. M2 doesn’t equal liquidity, but it’s had a good correlation.
Negatives - Not liking the aggressive uptick in futures CVDs over the weekend - 85k area is ask heavy for both futures and spot on Binance - Currently price being held up by idiosyncratic spot buyer on Coinbase. Probably fade.
Stay safe frens✌️

Coinbase spot market is being super passive aggressive here in the orderbooks (binance spot on top, coinbase spot on the bottom) - Pretty aggressive limit orders placed pushing up price without being picked up on CVDs or coinbase premiums

Re-added to longs at 79k on this pull back as macro looks like chaos. DXY selling off as yields and gold are exploding. Gold continues it's rally as the go-to risk-off narrative. BTC seems to be in a good position to capture this narrative as the higher beta risk-off asset. On low timeframes I'm seeing bids hold up BTC price very well considering some of the panic sellers. Seems to be good spot demand around this 78-80k area.
Positioning : Long. Waiting for QE. Added to HYPE and FARTCOIN as beta - Long : BTC, HYPE, FARTCOIN - Short : APT, SUI, XRP
Positives - Potential resolution Trump tariffs - Liquidity backstop theory - Global M2 breaking out to upside. M2 doesn’t equal liquidity, but it’s had a good correlation. https://t.co/AhwZSC9GeJ
Negatives - LT option skews back to bearish - Something breaks - Delayed QE?

Nice news led pop on the delay of Tariffs over night.
Got lucky with a last minute BTC long at 76k support. This was just a guess more than anything else. It looked like Trump had to take action otherwise markets looked like they were going to break. I’ve taken partial profits on this long position based on heavier asks in the 82-84k area and seeing LT option skews buying puts again.
I don’t think this delay changes much in the grand scheme of things. Growth is on downward trajectory with liquidity tightening. - Consumers won’t change spending habits based on the delay. - CEOs won’t be aggressively hiring either in this kind of regime.
However there are a sequence of events that could lead to a pretty unforgiving rally. - Soft CPI this Friday paving the way into cuts and - QE : The real thing to watch for is FED intervention. If there is indeed a liquidity backstop, you basically close all shorts and go all-in. https://t.co/iOyggisDgS
So the trade is basically like a call option with the strike being the point at which the Fed announces QE with theta eating away at the underlying.
Positioning : Open to a short squeeze. Watching for QE. - Long BTC, HYPE - Short ENA, XRP, APT, SUI
Positives - Trump delays tariffs - QE soon? - CNY weaken currency. Basically QE in China.
Negatives - Orderbooks are heavy asks from 83-85k - LT option skews dipped on the news, but still in bear territory and trending back towards put premiums - No QE would likely mean goblin town
Stay safe frens, it’s a jungle out there.
