  @JohannKerbrat My funds have been frozen by @Bitstamp since Dec 18 even after completing all required verification. No resolution. No timeline. This is causing real financial hardship. Can anyone help bring visibility to this? #Bitstamp #Crypto

  @MaxCrypto The CVD breakdown makes the picture quite clear: the majority of the sell pressure during this leg down is Binance-driven, while flows on Coinbase, OKX and Bitstamp appear comparatively muted. This typically signals not broad market risk-off, but localized whale distribution, often aimed at triggering liquidity pockets below intraday support levels. Once Binance’s aggressive sellers push price into a thin zone, the move accelerates as stops and perp liquidations cascade, visible in the sharp drop toward $88.9K. From a market-structure perspective, this doesn’t yet resemble a macro trend reversal. It’s more consistent with inventory rotation by large players, exploiting weekend-level liquidity conditions ahead of U.S. close. The key metric to monitor now is whether CVD stabilizes and whether spot markets, especially Coinbase, begin absorbing. If spot buyers step in, this selling wave likely marks exhaustion rather than continuation. A retest of liquidity around $88.5K–$89K is plausible, but unless CVD continues to trend sharply lower across all exchanges (not just Binance), the probability of a sustained breakdown remains limited.

  Is #Bitcoin oversold now? Let’s use a 6-months chart and see what indicators tell us. A 6-month candlestick view of Bitcoin (BTC/USD) on Bitstamp, sourced from #TradingView It shows a clear downward trend over the period, with the price dropping significantly from highs around $120,000 (visible at the left/start of the chart) to the current level of approximately $67,431 USD. Key Observations from the Chart: •  Starting point (about 6 months ago, roughly early September 2025): BTC peaked near $120,000, marking what appears to be a local or extended all-time high (ATH) zone following a strong bullish run. •  Trend pattern: The price formed a prolonged downtrend with a series of lower highs and lower lows. Candles show: •  Early strong red (bearish) candles as it rolled over from the peak. •  Multiple red-dominant bodies with wicks indicating selling pressure and failed recovery attempts. •  Occasional green candles (brief bounces), but they were short-lived and unable to reclaim prior levels. •  The slope is steep initially, then gradually flattening toward the right, suggesting the decline may be slowing or entering a consolidation phase at lower levels. •  Current price: Marked at $67,431 USD, with the chart highlighting a -40,829 USD drop, equating to -37.71% over the past 6 months. •  Support levels: Recent action hovers around the low $60,000s to high $60,000s (based on the dotted line and recent candles), with some wick extensions lower but quick recoveries. •  Overall structure: This reflects a classic bear market correction after a parabolic run-up, with momentum clearly favoring sellers until very recently. Current Context (as of March 7, 2026): Bitcoin is trading around $67,000–$68,000 USD across major sources (e.g., ~$67,400–$67,900 on TradingView, CoinMarketCap, Yahoo Finance, etc.), with minor intraday fluctuations (down ~1% in the last 24 hours in many reports). This aligns closely with your chart’s labeled price. The 6-month loss of ~37–39% (consistent across sources) confirms the bearish phase shown. BTC hit an ATH near $126,000 in October 2025, so the current level represents a substantial pullback of roughly 45–47% from that peak. Summary Analysis: This chart illustrates a major correction in Bitcoin after its 2025 bull run peak. The relentless downward pressure over 6 months wiped out a large portion of gains, driven likely by factors such as profit-taking, macroeconomic pressures (e.g., interest rates, risk-off sentiment), regulatory news, or post-halving cycle dynamics (though the exact catalysts aren’t visible on the chart alone). At present, BTC appears to be stabilizing in the mid-$60,000s after the steep fall, with reduced volatility in recent candles compared to the earlier sharp drops. This could signal the late stages of the correction or the beginning of a base-building phase before any potential reversal — but confirmation would require sustained higher lows, increased volume on up moves, or breaking above key resistance (e.g., $70,000–$80,000 range). If you’re holding or considering entry, this is a classic “buy the dip” setup in historical BTC cycles, but with high risk given the ongoing bearish structure. Always DYOR and consider broader market conditions! What specific aspect (e.g., technical patterns, potential targets, or news drivers.

  @JamesWynnReal @JamesWynnReal Why is that, when I want to mark the pattern on my chart (BTCUSD, 1D, BITSTAMP) I can't beacuse it looks different? For example, the period from Oct.16-Nov.10 does not fit the bottom line. Otherwise I support your idea.

  With all of this “CT is dead” talk, let’s remember what happened each time the market slowed down and people gave up. Out of the deep 2014-2015 bear came Coinbase, Bitstamp, OKX, and a ton of cryptonative startups, for the first time. Out of the deep 2018-2020 bear came Binance, Aave, Uniswap and OpenSea, and many others. Out of the 2022 bear came Bybit, Solana, Jito, Raydium, Pendle, Pudgy Penguins, LayerZero, and many others. Out of the 2025 market came Hyperliquid, Lighter, Abstract, and many others still cooking. This isn’t the worst market conditions by any means; the sentiment far outweighs the reality to the downside. With Bitcoin, Ethereum and others having a placement on the NYSE and NASDAQ, it’s extremely unlikely to see the same drawdowns we saw in the past on majors. Most money in the financial markets isn’t people investing their own money…it’s funds operating in decades timeframes accumulating positions over years, not in market orders. It is true that the easy times to rotate are over for now. But the real builders have just begun. And the real capital rotation has just begun.

  @Bitstamp is holding my assets hostage. •Account previously verified •Allowed to deposit & trade •Mid-position they demanded new docs •I complied •Now over a week: no access, no withdrawals, no timeline That looks a lot less like compliance and a lot more like forced market exposure.

  Bitcoin is stuck at 77.3K. The real danger is not that it cannot fall further, but that every bounce is getting weaker! Looking at the Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC has fallen all the way from the 82.5K high. 80K, 79K, and 78K have been lost one after another, and the short-term structure has clearly turned bearish. Right now, the price is consolidating around 77.3K. It may look like the decline has stopped, but the problem is: the bounce only reached around 78K before getting pushed back down, which shows that selling pressure above is still there, and the bulls have not truly regained control. Next, there are only two key levels to watch: 77K–76.5K: The current defense zone. If it breaks down again, the next step is very likely a test of 76K, or even 75.5K. 78K–78.5K: The threshold for a short-term reversal. Only by reclaiming and holding above this area will BTC have a chance to continue rebounding toward 79K–80K. My judgment is very direct: Before BTC reclaims 78K, this looks more like weak consolidation after a decline than the starting point of a new upward move. The most dangerous market condition is not a sharp drop. It is when every bounce is weaker than the last one. Do you think BTC will reclaim 78K first, or break directly below 76.5K? Follow me. In my next post, I will directly break down the possible entry and stop-loss levels for BTC’s next move. （This is only my personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice.）

  @ZachRector7 Hey Zach, love what you do to educate! Question, is it true Bitstamp and Ripple are still working together to build the derivatives platform? If so, why is Bitstamp giving people a hard time to take self custody of their XRP ? Not a good look for either of them.

  bitcoin:native #crypto #stocks #tradingview I figured out what institutions look at and values they defend and on what timeframe they use. It's in my link I have pinned to my profile for free. It's not the most up to date version but the bones are the same as is the metric. Use my latest one on the 3 day timeframe on any long term chart and watch it go to work. Take Bitcoin for example on Bitstamp. Since 2016 the indicator started plotting and once it was broken, every single time price revisited this area, Bitcoin has bottomed. 2016, 2019, 2020, 2022, and it just tapped it today. If we trade around this level for months or mere days it doesn't matter. Downside has peaked, at least what this script has proven for a decade. And you're bearish?

  @dharmjack01 RE just had its TGE today with listings across Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Robinhood, Bitstamp, KuCoin. CB Ventures took a strategic position. price hit 53 cents earlier. the setup: onchain reinsurance is a $1T market that hasn't been touched. they're offering reUSD at 7% native APR plus 10% in RE rewards. Season 2 incentives running through December distributing 3.5% of FDV. sentiment is bullish short term based on the exchange blitz and RWA narrative momentum. tokenized treasuries just hit $14B onchain, regulatory frameworks opening up for institutional capital in tokenization. bull case: first mover in onchain reinsurance, institutional backing is clear from the listing coordination, competitive yield attracts stablecoin liquidity, perfectly timed with RWA trend that's actually delivering numbers bear case: reinsurance regulation is complex and global, smart contract risk on real world claims, needs massive capital to scale, token could see volatility from early exits despite the listings can't give you price targets. the valuation question is tough this early with limited market data on FDV and circulating supply. structural read: the coordination of those listings on day one of TGE plus CB Ventures backing shows serious market maker support. but success depends on regulatory execution and actually managing real world insurance risk onchain. the yield mechanism needs to prove sustainable under claims pressure.

  Friday’s crypto crash was a pure market manipulation event designed to wipe out all the leverage. It wasn’t a panic selling and Tokens went down more than they were supposed to because of a glitch in the order book and CEX system failures. Bitcoin crashed to $102k on Binance but it held $108k on Bitstamp. Multiple people are speculating that it was an attack purposely targeted at Binance to cause a mass liquidation in alts, but no confirmation yet. Regardless, BTC and ETH are still holding above the bull market structure, and once BTC makes a new high at the end of Oct - early Nov, we will see ETH finally cross $5,000. Alts will recover until then, and ETH above $5k will boost confidence which will lead to billions flowing into the alt market, and our shitcoins will finally explode.
