Crypto Survived the $6.3B Binance Hack...Is the Bull Market Still Intact?
A $6.3 billion Binance hack should have crushed Bitcoin. Instead, BTC barely fell, and Mike is more bullish than before. Mike and Ryan break down why Bitcoin held its critical 50-week moving average, what the selloff revealed about its holder base, and whether the final market reset is now complete. They also cover ETF outflows, post-election macro risks, the key levels to watch next, and why Mike still expects months of chop before the next major move.----🎯Join TDR Pro & get 1-month freehttps://thedefireport.io/friends🎯20% off our annual plan ($16.67/month)https://thedefireport.cc/tdr-rss🎯Follow & subscribe to The DeFi Report https://thedefireport.transistor.fm/https://x.com/the_defi_reporthttps://x.com/JustDeauIthttps://x.com/RyanSAdams----RESOURCESThe Watch List: Pump Fun (PUMP) & the Social Trading Markethttps://thedefireport.io/research/the-watch-list-pump-fun-pump-the-social-trading-marketThe Commanding Heightshttps://commanding-heights.com/----TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro0:22 Bitcoin’s Biggest Test Yet1:47 Why People Make Bitcoin Volatile3:15 The $6 Billion Hack Test8:59 Diamond-Handed Bitcoin Holders11:20 The Slow Leak of Selling16:13 Altcoins After the Sell-Off20:19 ETFs, Stablecoins, and Market Signals22:44 Midterms and Crypto Markets26:34 Reading the Credit Spreads29:59 Bitcoin’s Early-Bull Outlook34:22 The Case for Pump and Social Trading40:04 Closing Thoughts and Disclaimers----Not financial or tax advice.
