Market Chaos: Is the Bitcoin Bull Run Over? | Checkmate
Manage episode 513419256 series 2794696
Checkmate is a Bitcoin analyst known for his on-chain & macro research. In this episode, we get into the weekend’s deleveraging event across the markets, the structural fragility it exposed, and why Bitcoin’s resilience through it all might mark a new era of maturity for the asset.
Checkmate breaks down what caused over $20 billion in liquidations, how cascading leverage turned minor sell-offs into total wipeouts, and why market makers simply “walked away.” He also explains why Bitcoin’s fundamentals, ETF inflows, spot demand, and deep capital pools make it better positioned than ever despite short-term volatility.
We discuss how Bitcoin is becoming the world’s 24/7 macro signal, why "crypto" may be entering terminal decline, and what the data says about sentiment, and the critical price levels that will determine whether this was just a reset, or the start of a broader bear market.
In this episode:
- The $20 billion liquidation and what triggered it
- How leverage cascades break the market
- Bitcoin’s structural strength
- Why Bitcoin is the world’s macro thermometer
