Markets

What to know:
- Bitcoin, that fickle digital darling, wobbles near $110,300-like a drunk clinging to a lamppost after last weekâs stumble. Analysts call it a “necessary reset.” (Translation: Everyone panicked.)
- Tom Leeâs Bitmine tosses $800 million at Ethereum, proving institutions still love crypto-like a man who keeps marrying the same gold-digger, expecting different results.
- Gold, ever the dramatic diva, hits a record high-because nothing says “safe haven” like shiny rocks during a trade war. Meanwhile, Japanâs Nikkei 225 rises, blissfully ignoring reality.
Morning Musings from a Cynic:
Bitcoinâs recent nosedive-down to a pitiful $104,000-was, according to Glassnode, merely a “flush, not a failure.” How poetic. Like a clogged toilet, the market needed a good plunging. Futures open interest? Down. Funding rates? Cratered. ETF flows? Neutral, like a bored bureaucrat. Traders are realizing losses, not capitulating-because why admit defeat when you can just suffer quietly?
Enflux, ever the optimist, sees Blockchain.comâs SPAC listing as a “full-circle moment.” Ah yes, the circle of life: hype, crash, rinse, repeat. Meanwhile, Tom Leeâs $800 million ETH splurge is dubbed an “infrastructure-scale commitment.” Or, as peasants might say, “throwing good money after bad.”
Glassnode and Enflux agree: the market is “resetting.” Translation: Everyoneâs broke, but too proud to say so. Goldâs rally? Proof that digital assets and shiny rocks now coexist-like cats and dogs, if the cats were on fire and the dogs were laughing.
Market Movement (or Lack Thereof)
BTC: Arca insists Bitcoinâs selloff was “healthy.” Sure, and cholera builds character. Rising volumes? Improving liquidity? Tell that to the bagholders.
ETH: ETH rallies-thanks, Tom Lee!-but chain fees are dropping faster than a politicianâs promises. Solana and BNB now out-earn Ethereum. How embarrassing.
Gold: Up 2.9% to $4,380.89. Because when the world burns, nothing soothes like a lump of metal.
Nikkei 225: Hits a record high, because Japanâs politicians are optimistic. (Laughs in lost decades.)
