🚨🚨 Update: Today a quick market update as nothing have changed since yesterday. We still detect more incoming inflows from whales. The whales ratio maintains its level between 0.7 - 1.0. As soon we register bigger outflows, more inflows follows. Today we have
registered more inflows than outflows. The stablecoin reserves on exchanges has rised a bit. I have received some whale alerts related to new stablecoin inflows to exchanges, but we have more outflows coming from #Binance again. Almost $510m stablecoin withdraw registered from
#Binance indicating whales selling their assets and withdrawn their stablecoins. If we don't detect some big inflows to treasury soon its almost confirmed that these whales want to stay to stablecoins to buy the dip afterwards. We have also detected $400m stablecoin inflows
arriving #Okex and #Huobi. Those $200m from #Huobi are coming from #Bitfinex and fresh minted from (thin air) #tether treasury. Maybe pump ammo or just to hold the line ($45.5k) as they expect a rising sell pressure. However, our whales ratio 30d average has declined today. Even
if we still detect more whales inflows, it has subsided a little. Since yesterday we have more positive netflows than negative, confirming the high whales ratio and indicating more inflows than outflows.
Today option traders are trading more bearish than yesterday based on their recent transactions. The volume for options with expiry 07Jan22 and 14Jan22 has rised a lot. Both showing more Puts than Calls. Some traders bought almost $35m in puts for our 14Jan22 expiry expecting a
#BTC price below $44k. That let explain our decline in max pain again from 54k to 52k after it declined from 55k to 54k just few days ago indicating, option traders are adjusting their option portfolio now. Anyway, the biggest trade activity for all expiry right now is for puts
at $44k and for calls at $60k. It looks like option traders are expecting a dump below $44k until 01-14-2022, while they expect 52k end of the month.
Futures are looking very bearish atm. Leverage ratio maintains its high level, funding rates rising a bit, but not a big deal atm
It seems, at least thats showing me the chart, in futures we had a flash crash to 44.9k to retrace quick afterwards one hour ago. Anyway, no big liquidations happend since yesterday.
In the last hour we have received more shorts than longs, except on #Bitfinex, #Huobi and
#Deribit. You remember the indirect stablecoin inflow from #Bitfinex to #Huobi I've mentioned above? 🧐 Do they know something? We will see.
If we check the longs/shorts ratio of the last 24h its almost neutral and that matches to the funding rates. Also here #Bitfinex traders
very bullish, with #Kraken and #Deribit traders as they traded more longs than shorts.
Total exchange reserves has risen since yesterday by 800 #BTC. #Okex has received more tokens too, a total of 550 #BTC since yesterdays update. #Bitfinex is surprising me with 1,550 more #BTC
in their reserves. #Gemini also showing a rising reserve by almost 450 #BTC. #Binance maintains its reserve level and has just reduced its reserve by almost 350 #BTC since yesterday.
Looks like we are heading the last final dump weeks imo. But we are still missing the big dump. Since our last big inflows we have detected certain outflows and we have reduced the reserves a bit, but we still have too many tokens remaining and instead of just selling, more
inflows are arriving. So, imo we are not done yet, even if we lift up heading upper 40s, we will dump again afterwards. High leverage futures and a lot of dump ammo still on the table. Bullish looks different. As soon we will dump hard we will rise in volatility. So, no high
leverage folks! It doesn't matter of longs or shorts, but please no high leverage.
Stick to your plan and don't let you guide by price action, influencers or fear! 🙏 Good luck all of you!

We all remember the big announcement DOJ did just few days ago. We all were expecting a huge result, also because CZ has teasered a big FUD against Binance will happen soon
before. Something that could bring the crypto space in trouble. Instead they announced the arrest of someone nobody in the space knew before, Anatoly Legkodymov. The owner of Hydra Marketplace. Of what? Yes, right. Almost nobody knew him or his company before last tuesday night
before they arrested him in Miami.
The DOJ said about Hydra following:
“Bitzlato’s largest counterparty in cryptocurrency transactions was Hydra Market (Hydra), an anonymous, illicit online marketplace for narcotics, stolen financial information,
Binance already sent an announcement Exclusive: SWIFT payments network to cut access to crypto exchanges | Asia Markets asiamarkets.com/swift-network-…
What is driving the current rally? Spot or Derivatives?. Well, let us check. Derivative went up like hell while the price pushed up. As mentioned many times, you can't drive the spot price with futures.
It seems DOJ has a defined its next target. Even I don't agree with their approach. Because we know it's not Binance only. We remember the money laudering accusations related to FTX. What happened? Nichts, Nada. Nothing. 🤡 reuters.com/markets/us/us-…
Instead is the current CEO of FTX even thinking to revive FTX again. Coincidence? Anyway, it doesn't explain why the current buy pressure is coming from Binance. Or is someone there unloading with USDT? Because BTC/USDT showing big unloads related to spot CVD on Binance while
the opposite happening related to BUSD. While at the same time since 2 weeks we are seeing strange transactions related to $USDC. At the beginning was between Coinbase and Circle. But since last week also Binance is involved. Last night following happened. The same amunt went to
Instead what is happening?
"Oil firm executives, for their part, say the U.S. Administration’s policies and anti-oil rhetoric,
inflation, contractor time delays, and regulatory uncertainty are negatively impacting drilling and production planning."
Everything looks like, the oil production in US will decline more. While at the same time the U.S. Crude Oil Inventories has declined the first time in 3 yrs
