prior corrections were about 90% in a shallowed QT period. now we are in deep prolonged QT, and crypto market size is much bigger and more big players involved, there will be more catastrophic events. Voyager is about to go to pennies.. that's 1.02 left to go..

I think the shine on gold could come back, but we really need to break above 1855 on a weekly closing basis with some decent volume.

Right now it remains one of the most hated spaces on Earth, with appreciable underallocation by institutions. But whether that changes anytime soon is something we need to watch closely.
