Controversial thought here: Over the past three Fed rate cuts, Bitcoin has been sliding lower while stock markets and precious metals were hitting new highs. What's interesting though—on-chain data suggests this wasn't typical panic liquidation, but rather market maker positioning adjustments.

Here's the kicker: Prediction markets now pricing in zero rate cuts until June 2026. That's a long wait. So if equity markets start stumbling in that window, where does BTC actually go? Historically it hasn't decoupled cleanly. Could get messy.

This is getting serious. Bitcoin and the stock market are actually moving inversely. Truly amazing.

Wait, have you noticed this logical flaw? When MM adjusts their positions, doesn't that mean the big players are not confident?

In simple terms, Bitcoin didn't follow the trend this time and was actually hammered down, but on-chain data shows it's not panic selling—that's the real key.

Wait, are market makers quietly adjusting their positions? I need to check the recent activity of large on-chain wallet addresses...

Wait, is this drop in Bitcoin caused by market makers adjusting their positions? Doesn't that mean institutions are manipulating the market?

Damn, Bitcoin's recent move really sucks. Stocks and precious metals are soaring, but it’s actually falling. Who can make sense of this logic?
