Why I'm betting big on Bitcoin during this market shift—and why flow matters more than hype.



Everyone's obsessed with sentiment these days. Bullish vibes, bearish takes, FOMO tweets, FUD storms. Sure, it moves price short-term. But here's what actually predicts where we're heading: liquidity.

Think about it. When institutional money floods into Bitcoin, retail traders get spooked and sell into strength. The market looks "strong" on sentiment but tanks on poor flow. Flip that script—negative news hits, everyone panics, yet bid-ask spreads stay tight and volume holds. That's a real signal.

My thesis is straightforward. Track where the liquidity is, watch how order books shift, monitor micro-structure data. That tells you regime moves three steps ahead of sentiment flipping on social media.

Bitcoin's not just a speculative asset anymore. Read the order flow, not the chart feel. That's where the edge is.

NGL, flow data is the real deal; sentiment analysis is long overdue for an update.

It's that liquidity rhetoric again... sounds plausible, but I feel like I'm just finding reasons for my own losses. --- Can order flow really be seen through, or is it just another black magic we can't learn? --- Alright, I believe you. But the last time I trusted sentiment, the person was also looking at the order book, and in the end, it was still a loss. --- The contradiction is, the more you focus on liquidity, the more likely you are to be countered by liquidity... I've seen this many times. --- Stay calm, don't dress up your reasons for holding positions so elaborately. --- That's true, but the problem is 99% of people don't have the tools to read these micro-structure data... --- That's why I still only look at support and resistance levels; analyzing these is more useful than struggling with micro-structure data. --- ETH's liquidity pattern is completely different; the BTC theory fails outright on altcoins.

Liquidity is the key, this guy is right. I've been annoyed with those who constantly send FOMO messages; checking the order book is the real deal.

Liquidity is indeed underestimated, but I still think this guy is being too absolute... Do institutions enter and retail must sell? The market isn't that mechanical; human nature is far more complex than the order book.
