Bitcoin took a nosedive below $91,500 on Monday, slamming the brakes on any hopes for a smooth ride to the moon. This freefall has wiped out all of its year-to-date gains like a bad breakup-sudden, painful, and probably for the best. Meanwhile, the entire crypto market has lost a gut-wrenching 30% of its value since October 6. Ouch. 🙄
This week in Bitcoin.

It’s been especially grim for digital-asset treasuries-the big corporate crypto hoarders who thought they could make a killing on Bitcoin while it was riding high. Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. dropped another $835 million on Bitcoin, but for others, the pressure to sell and protect their balance sheets is real.
Now, a psychological wall has been erected. Investors are stuck-too deep in the red to buy more but too stubborn to cut their losses. It’s like watching a bad reality show, where no one knows how to exit gracefully.
The CoinMarketCap sentiment index is a disaster right now-tracking price momentum, volatility, and derivatives, it’s officially in “extreme fear” territory. It hit a terrifying 9-its lowest since July 2022. 😱
Meanwhile, El Salvador is out here like a crypto collector at a yard sale, adding 1,091 Bitcoin worth over $100 million to its hoard. Since Bitcoin became legal tender in 2021, the country’s been stacking Bitcoin during market dips. Let’s face it, they’re playing the long game while others scramble to cash out.
With this latest haul, El Salvador now holds a staggering 7,474 BTC, worth around $688 million. It’s now one of the largest Bitcoin hoarders among nations. Nice work, El Salvador. Meanwhile, hedge funds are just trying to pay their bills. 😅
El Salvador has become the exit liquidity for Bitcoin $BTC
El Salvador increased its Bitcoin reserves by $100 million amid the market dip!
..while BlackRock and major hedge funds are cashing out, developing third world nations are stepping in to buy!

Broader Economic Factors
Traders are nervously eyeing Nvidia’s earnings report on Wednesday-because tech stocks and speculative assets are basically joined at the hip right now. There’s also talk of a potential interest-rate cut from the Federal Reserve in December, which might give everyone a bit of relief. Maybe. If we’re lucky.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 dropped over 1%, taking the risk appetite down with it. Ethereum’s Ether token isn’t faring much better-plummeting to $2,975 and down a painful 24% since October. Looks like the whole crypto ship is sinking. 🚢
The broader market is in a tailspin, and it all started with a massive liquidation wave in early October, wiping out around $19 billion in digital assets. Smaller tokens like Solana have taken a serious hit-open interest in crypto futures has tanked, with Solana’s positioning halved, according to Coinglass data. Looks like everyone’s jumping ship. 🏃♂️💨
