Crypto Capitulation

Some said Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation. It’s NOT! Now that we’ve gotten that bullcrap out of the way, let’s talk about what’s actually happening and why everything is going to hell.

Markets are capitulating. Hard. But here’s the kicker – while Wall Street has regulations that prevent the worst manipulation, crypto is still the Wild West. These financial sharks are having a field day because they know exactly what they’re doing.

The game is rigged, plain and simple. Those massive institutional players – the great whites – are circling millions of small wallets, each holding just a few thousand dollars. And you know what they’re thinking? “Serves them right. These retail idiots came here to get rich quick, but they’re just going to lose it all anyway.”

It’s brutal, but that’s the reality we’re dealing with.

So what’s the survival plan here? AVOID FUTURES AT ALL COSTS. I cannot stress this enough. Longs are getting absolutely destroyed. Shorts are getting rekt just as hard. The manipulation runs so deep that both sides are getting played like fiddles.

If you’ve got the stomach for it, stick to spot holdings. At least then you’re not getting liquidated when these whales decide to paint the charts red.

But here’s where it gets really ugly. PCE data drops Friday, and everyone’s holding their breath. June core PCE was 2.8%, then it jumped to 2.9% in July. August numbers? They’re expected to stay flat or – God help us – tick even higher.

This isn’t just some minor economic hiccup. September CPI is looking like it’ll come in hotter than August, which means the inflation monster is still very much alive and grinning at our collective misery.

And here’s the gut punch: there will be NO rate cuts in October FOMC. None. Zero. The Fed isn’t coming to save us this time.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but market dissent isn’t just possible – it’s inevitable at this point. The writing is on the wall, folks.

Buckle up for safety, because this ride is about to get a whole lot bumpier.
