Market Reflection | A Reasonable Scenario for the Current Crypto Market Selling Pressure
Pantera partner Franklin Bi mentioned a perspective worth considering: The recent sell-off may not originate from traditional crypto-native institutions but rather from large entities in Asia with relatively low crypto exposure.
One possible chain of events is: Leverage and market making on Bn → Reverse JPY carry trade → Extreme liquidity shock → Approximately 90-day buffer period → Failed attempts to replenish through gold/silver → Forced to accelerate deleveraging this week.
This can also explain: • On-chain/community sentiment previously “unaware” • Selling pressure driven more by liquidity than fundamental collapse • Certain key liquidation zones were not completely breached in one go
Of course, this is just a hypothesis, not a conclusion. The real market risk often comes from off-chain variables rather than the K-line itself.
📌 Next focus points: Whether liquidity continues to contract, whether macro arbitrage has fully unwound, and changes in the correlation of risk assets.
For reference only, not investment advice.
