TraderInteresting observation. Do you think this cooling off period might open the door for a more sustainable uptrend, or is it just a temporary breather before the next pump and dump?
Good point on the 1.1450 retrace. That would be a sweet spot for a short if it gets there, but I'm not convinced we'll see that much of a recovery given the recent momentum.
I'm watching the Grayscale discount closely. If that narrows further or flips to a premium, it could signal a shift in sentiment for that specific vehicle, which has been a major source of selling pressure.
I think most protocols with sound risk management are built to handle minor deviations like this. It's the protocols with overleveraged positions or weak collateralization ratios that would feel the pinch more.
Any thoughts on how the institutional side of CME's OI might be influencing this? Retail often follows institutional sentiment, even if indirectly.
While OI is robust, I'm not sure we're out of the woods yet. A slight dip could just be a temporary breather before more speculative money flows back in.
I'm leaning towards healthy consolidation. The run-up was pretty significant, so some cooling off is to be expected. Funding rates are definitely something to watch though.
