Epstein's Crypto Ties Revealed + Why Everyone Hates CZ - Chopping Block

Unchained

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The current market environment is shifting from a growth-at-all-costs mentality to one where accountability and perceived fairness are paramount. This means market participants are increasingly scrutinizing not just financial performance, but also the ethical conduct of leaders and projects.
  2. Prioritize projects with transparent governance and clear, defensible value propositions, especially regarding founder incentives and liquidity. Scrutinize narratives that offer monocausal explanations for complex market events, as they often mask deeper, systemic issues or emotional responses.
  3. The crypto industry is maturing into a period of intense public scrutiny, where past associations and founder ethics will increasingly influence market sentiment and investor confidence. Over the next 6-12 months, expect continued moralizing and a demand for greater transparency, making a strong ethical stance as important as a strong balance sheet.

Bitcoin Is Deeply Oversold. Does That Mean the Bottom Is In? - Bits + Bips

Unchained

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The current crypto downturn reflects a broader risk-off macro environment, where Bitcoin's sharp price movements, while painful, create unique technical vacuums that could lead to equally swift, opportunistic rebounds for those tracking specific momentum changes.
  2. Monitor for a "weight of the evidence" signal, combining oversold readings (like the weekly stochastic retest) with a clear reversal in shorter-term momentum indicators (daily MACD, Demark exhaustion) to identify high-probability entry points for counter-trend trades.
  3. While long-term crypto investors can ride out the current cyclical downturn, short-term traders must prioritize precise technical signals. The market is primed for dramatic bounces due to thin liquidity on the downside, making early entry crucial for capturing the largest gains when momentum finally reverses.
