1/ I see a lot hopium on my feed, but its time for a cold shower.

Are we out of the bear market? Probably not.

Here are 10+ reasons why you don't want to drop the soap. πŸ˜‚

🚨 Bearish divergence warning on multiple charts.

Lets dive deeper, a thread. πŸ‘‡ Image
2/ Lets start with stable coins first, then move to more "exotic" assets in crypto (e.g. NFTs/DeFI).

First, #USDC - best centralized stablecoin (aka, they can freeze your money).

See that beautiful top? USDC market cap falling since 1 Mar 2022 + double top = bearish.

Next πŸ‘‡ Image
3/ Second, #DAI - best decentralized stablecoin (aka, they can't freeze your money).

"LOL you forgot about #UST." No I didn't, keep reading.

Again on DAI, double top + falling mcap = bearish.

Next πŸ‘‡ Image
4/ What about #UST and #USDT?!

These give FALSE signals. Why false? Because they can't be TRUSTED. Here's why.

UST/USDT = see those lines up. Its mostly fake money/demand.

Real money/collateral is in USDC/DAI.

Don't believe me? Next πŸ‘‡ ImageImage
5/ #LUSD - like DAI but ETH only as collateral.

Lower highs, falling mcap = bearish.

Still not convinced? OK, see next stablecoin. πŸ‘‡ Image
6/ #FRAX - better than UST and less manipulation.

Falling mcap = bearish.

BTC is moving up in price while demand for trusted CEX/DEX stablecoins is falling = bearish divergence.

What is a bearish divergence? πŸ‘‡ Image
7/ Price makes a higher high & an indicator makes a lower high = bearish divergence.

Best example is a higher price with a lower volume than the previous high = time to be careful!

BTC price moving up with falling demand for stablecoins = CRASH???

Is this it? NO! Next πŸ‘‡ Image
8/ Lets look at #NFTs next.

Overall market volume is tanking = bearish!

Where is all the hype and demand? GONE.

Lets look at some clear NFT examples, including BAYC πŸ‘‡ Image
9/ My favorite, The #Sandbox, or DIGITAL land!

Sandbox land prices went from average of 5 #ETH to almost 2 for one square!

Volume and prices tanking = bearish!

What about avatar NFTs? Image
10/ Divine Anarchy, one of the best out there, 50% price crash!

Volume and prices crashing = bearish!

Just one random avatar went from 18 ETH listed price to a 0.4 ETH sale! All in 4 months.

What about the biggest name in NFT space - Bored Ape Yacht Club or #BAYC? πŸ‘‡ ImageImageImage
11/ Oh look BAYC crashed 50% in sales value compared to Sep 2021 and 80% in NUMBER of sales!

How is this bullish exactly? It is not and you should be careful.

But lets look at #DeFI, surely it is bullish? πŸ˜‚ Image
12/ NOPE. #DeFI all time high was last year...

We still failed to exceed the old total value locked.

At best, maybe DeFI consolidates and won't fall lower.

There is no new money coming in right now.

What about... google trends? πŸ‘‡ Image
12/ Even google trends is bearish, wtf.

I mean, the current #Bitcoin all-time high from Nov 2021 (69k) made a lower high compared to May 2021 (65k) or Dec 2017 (20k)!

Very curious divergence here for BTC. Retail FOMO (e.g. 2017) has NOT returned since!

So what next? πŸ‘‡ Image
13/ Keep powder dry in case the market falls lower.

We appear to have topped in 2021, at least for now.

Money is not really coming to crypto right now.

It's all in BTC's hands. Can it rally in 2022 again?

1/ On March 28 I made a thread on the top 10 reasons why we are in a bear market using stablecoin charts.

The only divergent signals (opposing this view) were from #UST & #USDT.

What happened since?

#UST went to 0 & #USDT lost $9 bil in mcap.

Next πŸ‘‡

2/ All reputable stablecoin mcaps were falling (#USDC, #DAI, #LUSD), except UST and USDT.

USDT has now corrected this divergence and is falling in the trend (pic).

UST was not so fortunate and crashed to 0 with more algo stables following the same trend: #USDN, #DEI.

Next πŸ‘‡ Image
3/ UST did not have the backing to account for its mcap, hence it went to 0.

Why so bad? Because of a death spiral:

Buy 1 UST, burn it for Luna, sell Luna for $1. With $18 bil UST to burn for Luna, this crashed Luna's price to 0 and UST followed soon after.

There is $100 mil in Curve left to exit from UST.

Binance bids at $0.98 are being replenished with $10-20 mil every few min.

So far their defense looks solid.

Unlikely Do Kwon pockets can absorb hundreds of millions of sales per hour.

That is money he is losing/hour.
Ok, they ran out of money already, lol.
They refilled it. I suspect they may start selling Luna if they run out of cash... Luna is under $50 already... wtf.

1/ Time to dispel the myths around #Terra / #Luna / #UST once & for all!

Is it decentralized? Is UST a stablecoin? Is it #SAFU?

What are the alternatives???

Are you with me?

Here's the thread you've been waiting for. πŸ‘‡
2/ Before I debunk the most important myths about Terra, I suggest you check my earlier thread on this to understand the context better.

Ready? Let's start with myth number 1. πŸ‘‡

3/ Myth number 1:

🚨 "Terra / Luna / UST is decentralized."

Verdict: FALSE ❌

I can explain, lets's look at the Terra / Luna network first and then UST. πŸ‘‡

1/ You no longer have to trust anon FUD on Twitter about #UST

You can now trust the well respected Wall Street Journal @WSJ

Here are the key points in their article that should raise your eyebrows. πŸ‘€

UST is on a thin line as its founder fights the SEC in court.

A thread πŸ‘‡
2/ Exhibit 1:

"A new breed of cryptocurrencies is seeking to replicate the stability of the dollar. But critics say they are a disaster waiting to happen."

They mean #UST and DAI+BUSD/Paxos fudding UST.

Next πŸ‘‡
3/ Exhibit 2:

"...algorithmic stablecoins aren’t necessarily backed by any assets at all. Instead they rely on financial engineering to maintain their link to the dollar. Some have failed, saddling investors with losses."

Is UST backed? Nope.

1/ Time to look at the main stablecoins, including people's favorite #UST which looks rather weak.

There is one undisputed winner, despite any criticism.

The reason? Adoption, liquidity, and volume.

The rest are kings in their niche. A thread πŸ‘‡

#USDT #USDC #BUSD #DAI #UST Image
2/ Ranking by market cap is easy (see pic), but that barely says anything.

What is more important is volume and where this volume comes from!

Let's do a ranking by 7-day volume divided by mcap.

See next tweet for the results. πŸ‘‡ Image
3/ WoW look at that #UST adoption... barely any. Even DAI looks better.

1. #USDT = 4.78 (392 bil volume / 82 bil mcap)
2. #BUSD = 1.59 (27 / 17)
3. #USDC = 0.58 (29 / 50)
4. #DAI = 0.28 (2.5 / 9)
5. #UST = 0.20 (3.4 / 17)

Clearly, USDT and BUSD are in their own class.

Why? πŸ‘‡

1/ Daily Anchor Yield Reserve Update. A thread. 🧡

65 days left. 😱

Important poll in tweet #4.

Link for more juicy details at the end of this thread. πŸ‘‡
2/ On track to hit 0.
3/ The total TLV in Anchor is falling by a few billions.

I wonder what caused it?

#Luna's price crashing maybe? πŸ˜…
