As the final hours of the week drew near, more misfortune befell crypto ETFs. After two days of unrelenting selling, both Bitcoin and Ether ETFs closed on Friday, October 17, with deep crimson marks on their balance sheets. This marked not only a third consecutive day of outflows but also one of the most tumultuous weeks since the balmy days of early summer.

He points out-oh, what a sage-that this setup exists within a “broader downtrend,” which sounds more like a bad soap opera than investment advice. Lower highs, he calls it, each bounce weaker than the last, a classic “dance of the doomed.” When he mentions “broken market structure,” he’s referring to the support zones that have been battered into submission and order books so thin they’re practically transparent-volatility’s way of saying “look at me!” The takeaway, dear reader: sip cautiously, don’t try to catch the elusive bottom, and remember, dips often oversell their welcome.

On Friday, October 18, Bitcoin slithered down to a new low of $103,000, leaving investors to wonder if this is the start of a grand finale or merely a pause for breath. The air is thick with uncertainty, like a Victorian parlor after a particularly rowdy séance.

Meanwhile, stablecoins-those dollar-pegged parlor tricks-have swelled to a record $304.5 billion. It’s like every investor in the land’s stuffed their piggy banks full of gold doubloons, waitin’ to spend ’em on the next shiny crypto bauble. History tells us this pile o’ cash often precedes a Bitcoin bull run, a DeFi party, or a wild altcoin romp. Could be the next big wave’s just round the bend!

Crypto conjurer Javon Marks-a man who stares at charts until they confess their secrets-says Dogecoin’s price is doing the same silly dance it did before its 2017 moon mission. 🚀 If history repeats itself (and doesn’t it always, in this circus of coins?), we could be in for a wild ride. Marks points to a “cup-shaped base” in the price structure, which sounds like something you’d find at a tea party, but apparently, it’s a sign of big things to come. 🍵✨

A self-proclaimed sage of speculative markets, known as “X Finance Bull” (a name that screams humility), has declared XRP the next Messiah of Monetary Policy™. His prophecy? A journey from $2-$3 (the “buy the dip, darling” phase) to $1,000+ (when pigs fly and Ripple hires a fairy godmother). 🐷✨

This “hands-off” approach left crypto companies fleeing like Okies during the Dust Bowl, seeking greener pastures abroad. Even banks, under Biden’s watchful eye (Operation Choke Point 2.0), were told to keep their distance. But now, the U.S. is back in the game, making headlines faster than a gossip spreads in a small town. 📰💨

However, Mantle (MNT crypto) now appears to be recovering as a wave of exchange-backed campaigns and investor incentives reignite community engagement. Because nothing says “trust us” like a $300k prize pool. 🎯

Following the Trump administration’s declaration of a complete tariff on Chinese imports-a move that surely upset the entire global bazaar-the crypto market, including our beloved canine currency, suffered a most distressing decline, much like an unwelcome house guest who oversteps boundaries. On October 10th, the tremors of sudden liquidations were felt sharply; yet, at the approximate lodestone of $0.18, the market found a surprising steadiness. Whales and market makers-those shadowy figures of finance-seemed quite content to absorb the downward blows, perhaps hinting at a quiet gathering akin to a ball before the grand dance. The prudent money is quietly staking its claim, neither fleeing nor overexcited, asserting that perhaps, just perhaps, a bullish turn might be in the making. As for the funding rates in the derivatives markets, those fickle indicators, they have resumed their normal course-calm after a brief storm-a signal that the mood is stabilizing and that the forthcoming stage might be set for a spirited rise.
