Crypto Crosswinds: November Chop and Year-End Challenges

Episode Notes

This episode unpacks a fragile week in crypto markets, discussing why reactive positioning can beat buying dips in downtrends, and what November’s liquidity signals could mean for a potential year‑end turn. We map the landscape of softening demand—from corporate treasuries to ETF outflows—alongside key technical zones that now define the range, and what renewed options hedging is signaling about downside risk and rebound potential.  We also talk about how shifting FOMC odds are feeding risk sentiment, and why the much‑debated AI trade—between massive capex and slower monetization—matters for crypto markets and sector rotation.
