🦃 $BTC ThanksPumping
2105 is Saylor’s "80-Year" Flex Year

$BTC.X ( ▼ 0.57% ) just hit $91K. Gotta admit, it feels good 😆 If you’ve been holding from the lows, this is celebration time.
Meanwhile, $SOL.X ( ▼ 3.03% ) is slowly climbing toward the $140 mark, right as the community is buzzing over proposal SIMD-0411.
Some are saying like oh, this could be the catalyst to send SOL flying. Others argue like “Nah, just a short-term hype boost.”
The opinions are clearly split. What about you? Do you think SIMD-0411 will bring a real, lasting effect on Solana? Or is it just a temporary spark?

Here’s what we got for you today:
👀 BTC hits 90K but... it's a trap?
⭐ Crypto repeats its post-Thanksgiving pattern again
⭐ How to decide which coin to trade & avoid?
🔥 Burning hot takes for the road

BTC is back above $90K and the total crypto market cap has crossed $3T. These are the kind of numbers that make for great conversation at the Thanksgiving dinner table.
We want to be bullish here, we really do. But before you FOMO back in, we need to talk about what’s happening under the hood.
But we’ve been zooming into the charts this morning, and while the green candles look nice, the market structure is flashing a warning sign that we can’t ignore 👇

While everyone is stressing about red candles, we’re focused on building. The data is clear. The opportunity isn’t shrinking. It’s getting stronger. When markets look shaky, smart money prepares. And that’s what we’re helping you do.
This is why we’re opening up CryptoFire PRO for Black Friday with the biggest discount we’ve ever done. For the next 3 days, you can lock in full access at up to 85% off.
You get everything we use to stay ahead: weekly trend alerts, cycle signals, token briefs, member-only insights, and a private chat with our team and active traders:
Monthly Plan: Was $29/mo → Now $3.99/mo
Annual Plan: Was $199/yr → Now $29/year 🤯
After November 30, everything snaps back to normal and this offer is gone for good. We've never cut prices this deep before (and we probably never will again).
If you want clarity and an edge in a messy market, now is the time to lock in PRO.

⭐ CRYPTO IS DOING THAT POST-THANKSGIVING AGAIN
After a brutal November sell-off, the market is showing its first real signs of life, RSI is climbing, MACD has flipped bullish, and sentiment is starting to recover from extreme lows.
And if this setup feels familiar… it should. We’ve seen the exact same pattern play out in 2022 and 2023:
Nasty dip before Thanksgiving
Then sideways chill
Then... December decides the direction
What we’re seeing right now:
Fear & Greed Index jumped from 14 to 25 in just a week. Still fear, but a lot less panic
Average RSI across crypto climbed from 38.5 → 58.3. That’s a solid bounce
MACD heatmap flipped bullish for BTC, $ETH.X ( ▲ 0.16% ) , SOL, first time in weeks
82% of tracked coins are now showing upward momentum
And yeah, price is finally catching up: BTC is back at $91K (+6%), ETH cracked $3K (+8%), SOL’s moving too (+8%)
Market cap hit $3.21T, slow but steady.
What’s even more interesting: liquidity is still super thin and forced selling is cooling off. So now, ETF flows and macro news are steering the ship, not just vibes.
Just like:
2022, post-FTX mess: sideways until Christmas
2023, ETF hype kicked in: BTC ran from $37K → $43.6K

Bitcoin Performance Between Thanksgiving and Christmas (2021–2024)
Right now, BTC’s 90-day Taker CVD has gone neutral. That’s a nerdy way of saying: “The aggressive sellers? They’re finally chilling.”
Tom Lee from BitMine calls this market “limping” after that October liquidation. Books are thin. Market makers are cautious. Which means small moves can turn into big moves fast.
Even on-chain stuff is interesting. People aren’t selling BTC. Over 53% of Nexo loans are still backed by BTC. That takes pressure off spot selling but adds hidden leverage, so watch for sudden swings.
So where does that leave us?
We might be stepping into the third straight year of a “post-Thanksgiving setup.” This current structure shows:
Sellers are mostly out (CVD neutral)
Momentum is recovering fast (RSI + MACD)
Liquidity is still fragile (low depth, slow ETF flows)
The technicals are no longer weak. The sellers are tired. But price won't move just because of hope.

UN-Limited Limit Orders
Why pay gas for limit orders that never execute? With CoW Swap, you can set an unlimited number of limit orders – more than your wallet balance – then cancel them all at no cost to you. Try Limit Orders.

💯 HOW TO KNOW WHICH COIN TO TRADE, WHICH TO AVOID?
A lot of people ask this question:
“How do you know which coin is worth trading, and which one’s a trap?”
Honestly, there's no fixed formula. But if you’ve ever stared at a messy chart wondering “Should I enter this?”, here’s what I always check before jumping in 👇
1/ The Runners: Coins already outperforming
Don’t ignore the ones that are pumping hard. Many avoid these coins because they think, “It’s too late. I’ll buy the top.”
But statistically, buying strength tends to outperform catching weak bottoms. I look for coins that are clearly outperforming the market, especially small caps outside BTC and ETH.
Before entering, I also check:
Funding rate (to see if longs are overcrowded)
Perpetual market positioning (who’s holding what?)
If it still looks healthy, I might enter small early and DCA if it pulls back. No need to wait for the "perfect" entry.
2/ The “V-Shape Recovery” Signals
These are tokens that dump hard and bounce back fast, fully reversing that red candle.
That kind of snapback usually means someone’s actively accumulating. You’ll often see it in high-volatility coins like meme tokens.

“V-shape recovery” signals
But not every bounce is real. If the dump was too extreme compared to the rest of the market, it might just be noise. You’ve gotta read the context.
3/ The Stalwarts: Strong when everything else bleeds
These are the coins that drop less than the market during crashes. It shows strength.
But watch out, some of them resist drops, then lag on the bounce. If one of these starts pushing higher while others lag, it could be a new breakout in the making.
4/ Mindset & Micro Signals
Over time, here are a few things that matter more than just price action:
Know where the crowd is positioned. Use funding rate, liquidation zones, open interest to gauge sentiment
Stop hunting for a reason behind every pump. Sometimes, coins just go up because people want them to
Markets don’t repeat, but they do rhyme. Every trend has a slightly different setup
Momentum confirms narrative. Wait until you see real buy pressure show up on the chart, then act
What seems like random noise is often a structured play. And the best traders I know do follow demand, not just charts.
If I were you, I’d stop worrying about being early or late. I’d focus on reading behavior, identifying real demand, and acting decisively when those patterns repeat.
Because the ones who win are the ones who understand why people are buying in the first place. What’s the first thing you look at when choosing an altcoin to trade?

$57 Billion in NVDA Revenue, 62% YoY Growth. And stocks still fell… What now?
Nvidia just posted a record-breaking quarter… yet the markets dropped. Why?
Experts say that even the top AI earnings couldn’t calm the fear of a potential bubble.
After soaring at the open, the S&P reversed sharply, wiping out over $2T of value in hours.
The “Great Bitcoin Crash of 2025” only wiped out ~$1T by comparison.
Wall Street’s finally asking: What if AI isn’t enough?
So, where can investors diversify when public markets stop making sense?
Now, for members-only → blue-chip art.
It’s not just for billionaires to tie the room together. It’s poised to rebound.
With Masterworks, +70k are investing in shares of multimillion dollar artworks featuring legends like Basquiat and Banksy.
And they’re not just buying. They’re selling too. Masterworks has exited 25 investments so far, including two this month, yielding net annualized returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.*
