What Are Gaps and Will This One Fill?
🕯 Gaps form when the market skips over a price range without trading through it. On CME BTC Futures, this often happens after weekends when markets reopen.
The gap on the chart above, from around $114.4k to $115.6k, appeared after a higher Friday open. This creates an unfilled zone, a pocket of missing liquidity.
🤔 Why do traders even care about gaps? It is not some hidden force. Gaps often reflect emotional moves, news shocks, or thin liquidity. Markets tend to revisit these zones because they represent unfinished business. Many traders expect price to return and test that level. It becomes a target.
🧐 Do gaps always fill? No. But in BTC, especially on CME where the chart lags 24/7 spot markets, many do over time. Smaller gaps have higher fill rates. In this case, the green region is likely to be retested soon.
It is less about technical rules and more about shared psychology. Markets are not rational machines. They are crowds reacting to perceived imbalance ❗️

The total crypto market cap is now at $4 trillion. However, only 56 crypto protocols earn more than $1 million per month and most of them privatize 100% of this revenue 💸
🔍 Of these 56 projects, only a few actually share revenue with token holders — the one with the highest MRR that goes to token holders is Hyperliquid.
These stats are quite crazy, to be honest. Most coins in crypto are completely uninvestable, with teams and VCs waiting to dump on you giving nothing in return 😐

What Is a Liquidity Void 🤔
These zones are created by strong, impulsive candles that slice through levels without resistance, often due to news, panic, or a liquidity grab.
🔍 In these voids, there's little to no consolidation or price acceptance. The market didn't spend time there, which means it left behind an "unfinished auction." These areas almost always attract price back later just like gaps on futures markets.
🕯 Why does this matter? Because price tends to revisit these inefficient zones. It's not guaranteed, but many traders treat them as magnets.
Typical signs of a liquidity void 👇
1️⃣A long candle with little to no wick
2️⃣Fast move through a previous range without pullbacks
3️⃣No visible structure or consolidation in the area
4️⃣Move was fueled mainly due to liquidation cascade
If prices pumps/dumps too fast and you're not quick enough to open your position, using these liquidity voids with fair value gaps can be a good place for your limit orders instead of chasing the price 👀

What Is a Reverse Buy Test? 😮
Humans struggle to let go of things they already own. This is called the endowment effect — a cognitive bias where people overvalue what they hold just because they own it. In trading, this leads to emotional bags and poor exits.
But there is a simple fix. Ask yourself: "If I didn’t already own this asset, would I buy it today?" 🤔
If the answer is no, you start slowly selling. If the answer is "absolutely not!", you need to exit fully. This shifts your thinking from hope to real conviction based on present data.
🔺 Say you bought AVAX at $60. It is now trading at $22 after months of bleeding. You are still holding because you want your money back. But would you honestly buy AVAX today at the current price? If not, then why are you still in?
❗️ Markets do not care about your entry or your portfolio ATH value. Stop managing trades based on what happened. Use the Reverse Buy Test and force yourself to make decisions based on what matters now.

Russia accuses US of debt trick with crypto 🏦
Putin’s adviser Anton Kobyakov claims Washington is using crypto to manage its $35 trillion debt. He argues the US promotes stablecoins to boost demand for Treasuries, then could devalue the dollar and wipe away part of its debt burden 🤔
🗓 He compared it to 1933, when the US "hiked" gold prices to devalue the dollar, and to 1971, when Nixon cut the gold peg. In both cases, debt pressures were eased by devaluation.
🤔 IMO, the theory makes some sense but is exaggerated. Stablecoins do create demand for Treasuries and extend dollar dominance, but they are far too small ($290B) to impact $35T in debt, for now...
But I still do think the US will push for USD stablecoins as a private-sector alternative to CBDCs, while China and the EU will rely on central bank issued digital fiat 💶

The Richest Person in Crypto You’ve Never Heard Of 🔍
Tether is the engine of global crypto. It prints the USDT stablecoin everyone trades against, moves more volume than Visa, and earns billions in profit each year. By margins, it is one of the most profitable private companies in the world. Everyone wants a piece of it — but Tether is private 💸
Everyone knows CZ, Vitalik, Satoshi. Few know Giancarlo Devasini.
🤑 He is the hidden power behind Tether. Reports say he owns about 47% of the company.
Recent news: Tether is selling 3% of its shares at a $500b valuation. That implies Devasini’s stake is worth more than $235b — making him one of the richest men alive.
Yet almost nobody knows his name. No stage presence, no hype, no fan base. Just quiet control over the financial operations of one of the most successful companies ever created 🌍

Someone just made $13.6 million on a BNB memecoin in less than a week 🔼
Right now we’re in full meme season on BNB. Chinese coins tied to CZ, Binance, Aster are taking over the trenches.
🔍 Here’s what went down: last week this trader bought over 6% of the entire supply of a coin named "4" for just $68.6K. He hasn’t sold a single token. Now their position is worth around $13.6M.
Maybe it’s pure luck. Maybe it’s just great timing. But I'm in crypto long enough to be sure that this is another case of insider trading, someone knew exactly what was coming, that's why they didn't sell a single coin 🤔

Binance confirmed it paid $283 million to compensate users affected by Friday’s massive market crash, when several assets on the exchange (USDe, BNSOL, and WBETH) sharply depegged 🔸
The exchange said the payouts covered futures, margin, and loan users who held these tokens as collateral during the chaos. USDe, for example, briefly plunged below $0.66 on Binance, though prices on other exchanges stayed relatively stable.
🙅♂️ Binance also denied rumors that the depeg caused the broader market crash, stating that “the market sell-off came first.” It blamed the sharp moves on years-old limit orders and cascading liquidations triggered by the extreme volatility.

This chart shows what usually happens after the hype fades. It tracks every coin listed on Binance from January 2025 until October 8, before the recent market flush that nuked altcoins by 40% to 99%. Even before that collapse, the average coin was already down about 12% since listing 📉
The returns are measured in cumulative log terms, which show the real compounding effect of losses. The line keeps drifting lower because most new listings fail to hold value over time.
💰 When a new token hits Binance unexperienced traders rush to buy thinking they are "early". Remember this chart. History shows that excitement fades, liquidity dries up, and prices quietly bleed out.
How can we use this information? For starters, stop buying 99% of the coins that get listed on Binance. If you believe in your abilities, you can try shorting altcoins a few months after they get listed if price action is confirmed bearish 🐻

Another reminder to stay anon and not flex your wealth, especially if you are in crypto ⚠️
A 21-year-old guy from Ukraine was kidnapped in Vienna, tortured, and killed after two men forced him to hand over his crypto wallet passwords. They emptied his wallets, took his cash, and tried to hide the murder by burning his car. Both suspects were later arrested 🚓
👮♀️ This is the kind of risk people forget about. If others can see your money, they can decide you’re worth targeting.
In this world, some people are willing to kill for shockingly little, far less than most people make in a month 😞

Bitcoin is down 5% today, once again front running the stock market, which is slowly chopping downward 📉
Price action looks absolutely disgusting, no sign of bounces whatsoever. During this decline, more than $558.61M worth of futures long positions were liquidated in the last 24h.
🤔 It seems that the current narrative is that Fed rate cuts are no longer seen as a bullish sign, but rather as a rush to avoid economic recession and high unemployment, despite fears of a return to high inflation.
Personally, I see more and more despair and apathy in public discussions of the crypto market. Not a good sign for bulls in the short term, but it signals that quite a few tourists have already left the 'casino' 🤔
Are you buying the dip? Or are you waiting for a specific price?
