The Market Read

Most people lose money in stocks and crypto for the exact same reason. They buy first and "analyse" later. Here is the 8-step checklist I run before I risk a single dollar on anything 🧵

Mindset - Period

Ethereum. $37.1M ETH burned per year (annualised, 30-day rate). Ethereum is now burning ether at the slowest pace since EIP-1559 launched, after L2 migration collapsed mainnet activity. Source. ultrasound.money.

68% of blocks won by top 4 pools, 90-day rolling, May 2026. 62%, 2020. Four bitcoin mining pools win more than three quarters of every block mined. Source. mempool.space mining.

@AshCrypto Different assets, different cycles. Nasdaq is riding AI hype and mega cap earnings. Bitcoin just went through a halving hangover and regulatory FUD wave. Calling it manipulation misses the point. BTC historically lags tech rallies then catches up violently

How is this possible? Nasdaq is just 1% away from a new ATH. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is down -50% from ATH. I see no explanation for this except pure market MANIPULATION by insiders.

@cryptorover The best entries always feel slightly early or slightly late. Perfect bottoms only show up in hindsight. By the time everyone agrees it was the bottom, the real move already happened. The market rewards the uncomfortable

Most people wait for the Bitcoin perfect bottom. Market rarely gives it.

That bandits never vanished. They simply evolved from overt violence to institutionalized, legalized plunder via taxes, inflation, and regulations. The same coercion in a more civilized disguise.

@WatcherGuru Illinois just invented the dumbest crypto tax in America. Tax on transfers not profits. So if you move coins between your own wallets you get hit. Wild. This is how you kill an industry in your state overnight. Every serious trader and builder will be gone by the end of the year

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Illinois passes law to tax crypto transfers regardless of profit or loss, starting 2027.

@cryptorover That 20% drawdown looks different when you zoom out. This is the part where conviction gets tested and rebuilt.

Did you sell $BTC in May? Did you walk away? Already -20%. 🩸 🎯

@cryptorover Most alts were never real projects, just casino chips riding a liquidity wave. The few that solve actual problems will survive this washout. But yeah, if you married a 2021 meme coin, that marriage is over. The real question now is whether ETH bounces or joins the carnage

Altcoins are being sold at the FASTEST pace ever. 5 years of pain. Zero gains. RIP altcoin holders.

The coins have never moved. Gerald's body was embalmed in India before anyone asked questions. The case is still unsolved. The lesson landed hard: not your keys, not your coins. One person should never be the single point of failure.

People started digging. Why did he change his will 12 days before the trip? Why were cold wallet addresses empty for months? Some investigators think he faked his death. Others think he lost the money trading and covered it up.

An exchange founder died with the only keys to the customer coins. Grab a coffee for this one. 🧵

@cryptorover When the stops are that obvious the algos front run or skip entirely. More interesting if we chop sideways here and bleed alts first than the real move comes when nobody is positioned for it

Looking increasingly likely $BTC grabs liquidity below $60,000 again. The stops are resting there. Price hunts liquidity before it reverses.

@TheW3storm @AshCrypto 👍

@The_Market_Read @AshCrypto Let's talk, I have a proposal 📩

@AshCrypto Stocks ripped because the tail risk evaporated overnight. Crypto lagged because it had already been bleeding before this. Different beast, different problems

This is just unbelievable. When the US-Iran war started: Bitcoin: $63,176 ETH: $1,837 Nasdaq: 24,700 S&P 500: 6,879 When the US-Iran war ended: Bitcoin: $62,510 (-1.05%) ETH: $1,684 (-8.33%) Nasdaq: 30,409 (+23.11%) S&P 500: 7,510 (+9.17%)

@cryptorover The funny part is people act surprised when a levered BTC proxy trades like a levered BTC proxy. STRC is literally designed to amplify moves in both directions. That's the whole point.
