Market Pessimism Peaks | Scott Melker Interview: Abandon Short-Term Speculation as the Crypto Supercycle Gathers Momentum
This interview features an in-depth conversation with Scott Melker, host of The Wolf of All Streets podcast. He dispels the myth that frequent trading can outperform the market, bluntly stating that most speculators struggle to succeed. As pessimism permeates the entire market, he offers a contrarian view: Cryptocurrency is not coming to an end; a new major breakout rally is taking shape.
The crypto market has recently continued to fluctuate at low levels, with new tokens c

When I was little, I loved those dress-up dolls sold at the school gate for 10 yuan each.
My dream was to own an authentic Barbie doll, but my family could never afford one. Every time I went to the shopping mall in the provincial capital, I would squat there and stare at the dazzling array of Barbies all day—I just looked; I didn’t buy one 🌚
After growing up and earning money, I learned about BJD dolls. Holy crap, they’re so much more fun than Barbie dolls 😆

Recent reports indicate that Iran and Oman have reached preliminary arrangements concerning navigable routes, with discussions focused on restoring safer and potentially fee-free commercial passage.

CLARITY Act Delay Is Testing Institutional Sentiment
The delay in the CLARITY Act vote is adding another layer of uncertainty for institutional investors. Clear rules matter when large firms are deciding how much capital they want to put into crypto.
But this does not look like institutions losing interest in $BTC
The bigger issue is timing. Institutions want clearer rules around custody, market structure, compliance, and asset classification before making bigger moves. When lawmakers delay the vote, some capital can simply stay on the sidelines and wait.
Bitcoin still has a strong position b

Sigh, the crypto world is tough. $OKB finally made back some money today, closed out my positions and leased several mu of tea plantation. Next year I’ll sell tea via livestreams—please call me Boss Jin from now on. 😛

$EPIC 1H RSI is 52.33, the 1H MACD death cross is expanding, and the price is fluctuating repeatedly around 1.10.

I’m watching $AAVE
Long idea (clean & simple):
AAVE is holding above the $89.50 support after several tests. Price may sweep this area once more before buyers step back in. As long as $89.50 holds, the bullish setup remains valid.
Entry: $89.50–$89.80
Targets:
TP1: $90.50
TP2: $91.00
TP3: $92.00
Stop: $88.90
AAVE is sitting near an important support zone. I’m watching for a dip toward $89.50 followed by a strong bounce. If buyers defend it again, $91–$92 could be the next area to watch.

BITCOIN LIQUIDATION HEATMAP UPDATE
Bitcoin is currently trading around $65,000, and across all three timeframes, the liquidation map is giving us a fairly clear picture of where the market is likely to become most reactive.
The important part is that the strongest liquidity is currently sitting on both sides of price, but the overhead cluster is becoming particularly significant.
12H HEATMAP
The immediate battleground is very clearly defined.
Above price:
• $65,400–$65,600 is the strongest nearby liquidation pocket
• Additional liquidity begins building around $66,500–$67,500
Below price:
• $6
