[u/ozera202]

After 5 years in this dam sub reddit I’ve grown fond of you degenerate dogs we have lost a lot of money together 🙂

[u/delastunicorn → u/ozera202]

Love you to the BTC and back.

[u/Olskoolah]

So BTC will close around 117k today and be back at 120k Sunday night. And then we all get to shit our pants again next week because of the perpetual CME gap. CME needs to pay those bitches OT to keep open 24/7 for now on. Not like they don’t have the money.

[u/Despaciito → u/Olskoolah]

Exactly this. Tired of this cme gap crap

[u/bimbobandit2016 → u/Olskoolah]

If people would just stop getting greedy on futures we wouldn't have this problem. Crypto is already a high return environment, I don't even see why people need to use futures to juice the returns even further

[u/davink91 → u/bimbobandit2016]

"High return enviroment" - we barely can go up more than 2% on BTC bro stop 💀

[u/graytleapforward → u/davink91]

I've done 7x on BTC since the FTX meltdown 💀

[u/devCheckingIn → u/bimbobandit2016]

Crypto is already a high return environment

😒

[u/verysillyman]

Even the highest quality crypto assets like Fartcoin can’t endure the insurmountable sell pressure

[u/PMmeuroneweirdtrick → u/verysillyman]

Hot air rises. Fartcoin will be back.

[u/modsR_Gae]

There are so few retail investors this cycle compared to prior cycles. Friends and family aren’t asking at all

Maybe it’s as simple as if certain folks think they can never afford a single btc, then what’s the point of being in the space

[u/kironet996 → u/modsR_Gae]

my barber was asking if i want to pay with bitcoin last wednesday

[u/historicalprinter → u/modsR_Gae]

Don’t worry they’ll get here in October when meme cycle goes full swing

[u/MarioWilson122 → u/historicalprinter]

Well with cuts hopefully we see some big action sooner then that. Of course October and November should both be great months for sure.

[u/Lord_Alamar → u/modsR_Gae]

Nah. The reason is that retail collectively realized that they can get much more consistent, reliable, and meteoric gains in US stocks

[u/ozera202]

Remember guys we are here to take “Screenshots “ not profits .

FML

[u/devCheckingIn → u/ozera202]

But I don't even have good screenshots.

[u/Due-Inspection-5660 → u/devCheckingIn]

Does anyone else also take screenshots of losses or when the market has a really bad day, so you can reflect on it later and be happy it's over? Or is that just me lol?

[u/delastunicorn → u/devCheckingIn]

Not everyone likes Green. Some likes Red.

[u/Due-Inspection-5660]

in the last 24 hours BTC is down 4% while ETH is down 2.5% currently.

ETH's strength is crazy. Next leg up very soon.

[u/InsuranceGuyQuestion → u/Due-Inspection-5660]

Check the inflow too!

ETH ETF Inflow: +$639.74 Mil

BTC ETF Inflow: +$230.55 Mil

[u/Due-Inspection-5660 → u/InsuranceGuyQuestion]

there is no second best!!!! ETH is the big daddy.

[u/tesseramous]

It seems like whenever there is some kind of news in any market there is always this group of people who somehow front run the news hours before it comes out.

[u/devCheckingIn → u/tesseramous]

I noticed that on the charts. It's so obvious. Hours before the PPI came out everything was dumping.

Of course they also had that pump last night to suck people in for that extra exit liquidity.

[u/Despaciito]

Hope you guys bought the dip

[u/bimbobandit2016 → u/Despaciito]

Absolutely. In crypto actually having an income appears to be a huge advantage

[u/Natural_NoChemical]

Checked my portfolio today… thinking of starting an OnlyFans

[u/Medium_Change4574 → u/Natural_NoChemical]

Crypto bros going through hell until altseason while thots just open an onlyfans account

[u/Lord_Alamar → u/Medium_Change4574]

And are much better off for it

[u/Natural_NoChemical → u/Medium_Change4574]

And they also make in one day what we make in momths

[u/ALth0r → u/Natural_NoChemical]

If you're portfolio is red in those times , you probably have to start an only fans bros. You should be WAY up by now

[u/ieatvegans]

Pro tip. Don't listen to any idiots that say "Guaranteed."

[u/redshift_11 → u/ieatvegans]

Putin to Trump: Yes Ceasefire, Guaranteed.

[u/bloo0206]

You can tell the people that haven’t been in this market very long..

[u/fan_of_hakiksexydays]

At this point, I'm not sure if people are legit overreacting, or if they are being sarcastic and trolling, because it's been such a meme on this sub to overreact like that.

[u/VariatCA → u/fan_of_hakiksexydays]

It's just the same 5 guys that show up on any red day and post 20 times that the world is ending. They're always conveniently gone on the positive days, and have nothing to say when new ATH's reached except maybe "Why r we pumping?"

[u/fuzzytradr → u/VariatCA]

💯

[u/davink91 → u/VariatCA]

U mean the positive days when we beat the ath by 1% for 5 minutes and go lower for a month?💀

[u/VariatCA → u/davink91]

Oh has it been a month since two days ago?

[u/Lord_Alamar → u/VariatCA]

It has indeed been quite a while since we beat ath by 1%

[u/_Commando_]

Surprised ADA held on to 90+ while others tanked

[u/davink91]

Youtube influencers soon be like: Oh yea ETH needs to retest 1300 before we can go higher 💀

[u/WaterProofPants]

It like wants to go up so bad but keeps getting pushed down

[u/WaterProofPants → u/WaterProofPants]

It was doing so good overnight

[u/InsuranceGuyQuestion]

ETH ETF Inflow: +$639.74 Mil

BTC ETF Inflow: +$230.55 Mil

[u/brkinard]

ETF flows favoring ETH again....another strong positive day while BTC bleeds out.

[u/ieatvegans → u/brkinard]

ETH seeing massive inflows to ETFs and the strategic reserves. The narrative has changed.

[u/4x4taco]

BTC coming back?

[u/davink91]

"Bullrun" "alt season" "banana zone" lol

[u/lurkinns]

Bad PPI mixed with some risk-off before trump putin summit. Possible monday pump if news are good

[u/devCheckingIn → u/lurkinns]

If the macro crap could just get sorted out for good we would be blasting off like crazy.

[u/panthera_N]

BUY THE DIP

[u/fuzzytradr → u/panthera_N]

What about second breakfast Dips?

[u/devCheckingIn → u/panthera_N]

I did that yesterday now I'm in the red.

[u/kironet996 → u/devCheckingIn]

buy a few more dips

[u/devCheckingIn]

CME FedWatch Tool update:

25bps cut: 82.8%
no cut: 17.2%

The trend is not our friend!

[u/fuzzytradr]

DOGE and ADA 🚀🚀🚀

[u/Thriving_donkey]

Number went down, must be market manipulation (up=normal behavior)

[u/ThinCrusts]

Longs liquidated, new shorts created which will get rekt when we pump over the weekend.

[u/kironet996]

is the trump x putin meeting behind the closed doors so they can finally get intimate after long time apart?

[u/VaultBoy9 → u/kironet996]

Performance reviews are confidential.

[u/goldyluckinblokchain → u/kironet996]

[u/baIIern → u/kironet996]

It's so Trump can claim it went amazing and genius, the best meeting ever. Everybody said that. Putin is scared of him. Oh and also we don't end the war

[u/Odd-Astronomer-7969]

ADA is allergic to red

[u/ieatvegans]

Huge inflows for ETH ETFs yesterday. Nothing is stopping this train. 

[u/Crawwarch]

Why the sell off?

When I wake up and my bag is suddenly filled with Eurotrash and cheap Asian plastics, I fire up my deep fryer and dump a little of my bag in there. Pretty soon I’ll fill it back up with a little freedom, a couple hand grenades, and an unread Bible. An American flag bag.

[u/Slow_Train_6096]

What level would make you freak out and think it’s a bear market?

E: thank you all for you views. Much apprich. Will be interesting to see what happens.

[u/UDP7 → u/Slow_Train_6096]

70k

[u/C-Dull → u/Slow_Train_6096]

76k or so

[u/ieatvegans → u/Slow_Train_6096]

I don't think we have a bear market in any way like we have in the past. Too much adoption.

[u/kironet996 → u/ieatvegans]

keep thinking that

[u/xanokothe]

Why Fair is 10% up while the rest of crypto is down?

[u/pref1Xed]

Well🍔well🍔well🍔

[u/Due-Inspection-5660]

Serious question - has anyone here actually flipped bearish because of yesterday's PPI data?

For me, I think ETH's climb upwards is guaranteed to continue for at least the next week or so, then we might get a dip if powell is hawkish in in his Jackson Hole speech on 22 august, but that probably wont be a massive issue to worry about.

[u/Annual_Juggernaut_47 → u/Due-Inspection-5660]

M2 still going up, yes. Deficit spending still out of control, yes. Jobs situation dire, yes. CPI heading lower, yes.

A single PPI reading isn’t changing anything. This is an overreaction because people are still scared of this market. Nothing changed today.

[u/piggleii]

Gonna be a long weekend.

[u/DryMyBottom → u/piggleii]

yeah, 48 hours I reckon 

[u/TexasBoyz-713 → u/DryMyBottom]

Some say it is one of the weekends of all time

[u/mfrag_2]

Just got in HBAR at this price that’s all I ever see on here figured I’d open a position

[u/SkoMyGod]

It’s been an honor riding the Titanic with you all 🫡

[u/csmonigo]

ig it was 5k eth here everywhere 2 days ago. now y so much rage? awww

[u/rsicher1]

You may be wondering, am I worried?

Nope. Today is payday.

Buying more.

[u/Due-Inspection-5660]

every time i post something like this and go bed, we hit my price target within a few hours

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1mqhpaj/comment/n8r4655/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

next up: wake me up when ETH hits $4,750

[u/Simke11 → u/Due-Inspection-5660]

Could you bull post more often and go to sleep more often?

[u/Due-Inspection-5660 → u/Simke11]

your wish is my command.

Also when I say "every time", I mean I've done it twice and on both occasions it happened. Let's see if we get a third hit and go above $4,750 today.

[u/decomposition_]

We haven’t seen these low levels since… several days ago! Whatever shall we do?

[u/tianavitoli]

beras defending the $123,456.78 level with furiosity

[u/piggleii]

Americans woke up and were like, "Oh yeah, the PPI. Almost forgot about that."

[u/F-machine]

Market recovering now and moving sideways 🙏

[u/csmonigo → u/F-machine]

down and down!

[u/LinoStar69]

Meanwhile, SP500 chilling at ATH. Crypto shitting the bed once again what a joke of a market

[u/ExorIMADreamer → u/LinoStar69]

If someone's only investments are in crypto they are seriously doing it wrong.

[u/VariatCA → u/ExorIMADreamer]

At this point, I'm pretty sure the retirement funds of some of these guys are just coins named after funny dogs.

[u/VaultBoy9]

Hello, crypto customer service? I would like a green Friday, please.

[u/Due-Inspection-5660 → u/VaultBoy9]

please direct your query to the crypto ceo

[u/Electrical_Invite552]

Sorry everyone. I just bought $5k of eth and $5k of BTC 30 minutes ago

[u/Deacon86 → u/Electrical_Invite552]

Bull market top confirmed.

[u/lurkinns]

If us open is good we might recover to 4700 today.

[u/kenzi28]

Is your government cutting spending? No.

Is your salary increasing faster than the price of housing and your grocery bills? No.

And are you selling your BTC to the institutions? YES.

[u/Simke11 → u/kenzi28]

Yeah better to watch gains evaporate during bear market.

[u/tony_ysl → u/kenzi28]

Hurt

[u/C-Dull]

ADA just getting right back to business

[u/bizaroo933]

Only straight dump not even 1 hour of relief bounce fuck this shit

[u/Kitchen_Catch3183]

Is this just a regular dump or did something happen?

[u/Captain_Fredl → u/Kitchen_Catch3183]

Tariffs on zamunda and ww3

[u/booose6]

Whats the mood chat? Bounce back weekend? More selling? Flat?

[u/Onebadosteopathswag]

why the fuck does cardano have so many decimals? itd be decent to flip if it wasnt battle over the .0000001 decimal. onds or ondo or whatever doesnt have that problem.

[u/sell_at_top_nov2025]

Aight braddas I got a good feeling this bull ain't done breeding yet. Lube up and enjoy

🚀🚀ULTRASOUND🚀🚀

[u/csmonigo]

as i said before, last chance to buy 4200+eth !

[u/JeJ34]

Heck, the real dip hasn’t even started, wait till Trump storms out of the meeting in a few hours bahahahah! 😂

[u/VariatCA]

Set up some limit-buys, since it seemed that yet again, Crypto was overreacting / getting thrashed by short-term leverage trading much harder than the stock markets.

First re-buy just triggered at 4400, after having taken more profits between 4600-4725. I've got more limits set up for 4250/4100 for now, but if the stock markets close where they're at right now, there's a good chance we don't go down any further.

[u/pikkuhillo → u/VariatCA]

Most here are already expecting a bear season again which made me re-enter at 4400 since most here buy high sell low as is tradition.

[u/vb90]

Get ready for a couple of weeks of "healthy pullbacks". Once the risk levels go up the euphoria suddenly takes a mountain-sized bitch-slap. It doesn't matter if people want to buy more, they know the environment is not good enough for a truly magnificient chart erection.

[u/Suspicious-Holiday42]

Selling is the burgerly morning routine

[u/bizaroo933]

People were screaming altseason. Look at the monthly chart for alts. Most are down double digits. Its more like shitseason

[u/kironet996 → u/bizaroo933]

shitseason for shitcoins, sounds good

[u/piggleii]

Why are all other stable coins worth less than USDT? Shouldn't they all be worth 1 USD?

[u/VariatCA → u/piggleii]

Depends on the exchange you're looking at. They often fluctuate a few thousands/ten-thousands of a dollar, depending on demand.

Like if the market suddenly crashed tomorrow, you'd see an insane spike in demand for stablecoins as huge swaths of crypto-positions try to swap. If there aren't enough stables being sold at-spot, people will pay a slight premium above the dollar if it means they can sell now.

Works the other direction in a bull run too. Holding stables tends to have less incentive when everything else is just going up-up-up.

[u/wuzzgucci]

Do you guys think the crypto market will temporarily dip then rally, or just rally, or dip and then dip more after the federal rate cut on September 16/17?

[u/Medium_Change4574 → u/wuzzgucci]

Dip then dip

[u/ForsakenMeeting7524]

Slowly but surely going down today

[u/csmonigo → u/ForsakenMeeting7524]

is it slow??

[u/panthera_N]

I died laughing, pressure cookers should have pressure release valves, it's healthier than the bubbles bursting

[u/fuzzytradr]

Market still reeling from the PPI news. Crypto is presently eating shit. Hopefully we'll bounce back next week.

[u/Good-Raisin7081]

how will the market react to the trump x putin meeting inevitably leading to nothing?

[u/VaultBoy9 → u/Good-Raisin7081]

TACOs are priced in now

[u/Electrical_Invite552]

Hmm wouldn't mind a big dip. Have $20k ready to buy more eth and BTC

[u/Odd-Astronomer-7969]

Last chance to buy below $4,500 😂

[u/notmarduke → u/Odd-Astronomer-7969]

I hope so, wtf eth let's find some support 

[u/Despaciito]

Avax having a good day

[u/verysillyman]

Time for another classic NY dump

[u/jwz9904]

ETH... Strong

[u/No-Transition7298 → u/jwz9904]

ETH strong, APE strong!

[u/piggleii]

We are so back.

[u/WaterProofPants]

What’s going on now 

[u/devCheckingIn]

Consumer sentiment survey came in much lower than expected. Quick -- panic and dump all the things!

[u/ozera202]

So we entered wrecktember early aye

[u/VariatCA]

Almost everything is down today at the moment. The S&P, Nasdaq, Russel, QQQ and many other related indexes. This is nothing specific to crypto aside from the higher volatility.

Check the charts for August 9th/10th (one whooooole week ago) if you want to see how quickly Crypto can shift upwards as well.

[u/nomoney110]

wow, as soon as trump starts talking, the price goes down. :D

[u/WinterPurple73]

Why does every time Americans wake up and start dumping? People from ASIA and Europe pump throughout the whole day and then Americans wake up and start selling.. f*** that.

[u/devCheckingIn → u/WinterPurple73]

It's all algos and bots. You think real humans are selling?

[u/Defusion55 → u/WinterPurple73]

Asia and Europe dont have enough money to move the market decisively. Wallstreet is where every country's institutions funnel their money. Have you looked at bitcoin spot ETFs in other countries compared to the ones in the US? They have less than 1% of the volume as a single US based ETF. The US market has and always will be the dominate investment market. It has nothing to do with other countries pumping it up and everything to do with it going up wh3n the US market is closed so that every country cant sell. 

[u/_TheWolfOfWalmart_ → u/WinterPurple73]

Yeah every single time. It's not like Americans sent it to a new ATH just 2 days ago or anything.

I know people want someone to blame for their bags deflating but it's pretty 50/50. Markets go up and down.

[u/kironet996 → u/WinterPurple73]

they do it to make you cry, and it works

[u/NetEquivalent4669]

What just caused the market to print a large green candle??? Looking at YOU ADA!!

[u/PatMu5tard → u/NetEquivalent4669]

Get off the 1m chart

[u/invalid404 → u/PatMu5tard]

Zoom out when red, zoom in when green!

[u/wotboisRevenge]

This dip is good, there was way too much leverage to the downside. A wick down to $115k to rek even more longs wouldn’t surprise me. And now there’s short leverage building up, we all know what happens next. Back to ATH within a week.

[u/piggleii → u/wotboisRevenge]

Back to 120k now.

[u/WaterProofPants]

Why is it dropping now, was doing so good

[u/ForeignEconomics4939]

We did went all green after all. Seems BTC going to retest yesterday low. Give BTC and ETH some rest. 😄

[u/ieatvegans]

ETH on sale today. 

[u/[deleted]]

market volatile af. Weird

[u/SkoMyGod]

Looks like we're cooked again chat

[u/jwz9904]

This is the real august

[u/jwz9904]

and it's GONE

[u/ithastogoupfromhere]

sitting mostly in cash and waiting to things turn around, no big deal

[u/Olskoolah]

My AERO bag is the only thing saving me from depression rn. Previously was a source.

[u/VariatCA]

We'll see where this leads by the stock market closing-bell in about 5 hours. It's been sort of floundering the last couple days after that PPI data, including the stock market dipping quickly at opening-bell.

Like it or not, Bitcoin/crypto is reliant on the stock market's strength to keep this rally going at these heights right now. We're going to trend with more volatility alongside it, and won't recover until stocks present strength again.

[u/Defusion55 → u/VariatCA]

In the short term it is but not the long term. You will still moments throughout the year it breaks from it and does it's own thing.

[u/VariatCA → u/Defusion55]

Those times also historically coincide with strength and stability in the stock market, particularly after its taken a new leg-up and held stable at that level. Aside from rare cases where extremely positive crypto-news dropped on a day of calm market fluctuations, you'll very rarely find stretches where crypto climbed while the rest of the markets fell.

[u/_TheWolfOfWalmart_]

Trump and Putin made progress.

Buy now before the end of WW3 gigapump.

[u/LieutenantZucc]

hyperliquid made almost 8 million dollars in fees yesterday wtf

[u/ieatvegans]

Ethereum hit a low of $1383 just over 4 months ago. The ETFs and strategic reserves are grown immensely since then. The genie is out of the bottle.

[u/devCheckingIn]

Dogecoin finally catching some bids for some reason. Maybe some whale is buying.

[u/duma0610 → u/devCheckingIn]

ETF was filed.

[u/dataCollector42069]

dashboard i made to compare crypto coin prices if it reaches say 10% of btc market cap or eth's https://www.crypto-scanning.com/ Made it a bit more mobile friendly (hardest part) let me know what you think!

[u/jwz9904]

excited for the last powell show unless he becomes potus
