  BTC has broken below 75K! This is no longer an ordinary pullback. Short-term bears are accelerating their sell-off. Looking at the Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC has fallen all the way from the 82.5K high, and the structure on the right side now looks extremely weak: 80K broken. 78K broken. 76K broken. Now even 75K has failed to hold, with the price struggling around 74.8K. The most dangerous signal is not how much it has fallen, but that every rebound is getting weaker, and former support levels are continuously turning into new resistance levels. During this sell-off, the large bearish candles on heavy volume are very obvious, indicating that this is not simply a washout in the short term, but that the market is actively releasing risk. Next, there are only two key zones to watch: First, 74.3K–74.5K. This is the nearest defense line at the moment. As long as it can still hold, BTC may first see a technical rebound, targeting 75.5K–76K. Second, 75.5K–76K. This is the level the bulls must reclaim. If BTC cannot get back above it, any rebound will look more like an opportunity to escape rather than a reversal signal. My view is very direct: BTC remains bearish in the short term. If 74.3K fails again, the next step could very likely be a direct test of 74K, or even the 73.5K area. Only by reclaiming 76K can the selling pressure from this decline possibly ease. The easiest mistake to make right now is rushing to buy the dip after seeing one small green candle. In a downtrend, a rebound does not equal a reversal. Do you think BTC will rebound back to 76K first, or continue falling toward 73.5K? Comment “Rebound” or “Keep Falling.” Follow me. I will continue tracking BTC’s next key turning point.

  @Coins_Kid On October 10th xrp crashed from $2.30 on bitstamp all the way down to $1.58. When that happened it bounced in 30 minutes all the way up to $2.63. It then has been in a corrective move for over 2 and 1/2 months. That is not a wave C behavior, that is wave 2 behavior.

  @Bitstamp All customers need to look at Reddits complaints about withdrawals. Bitstamp needs to be sued for jerking people around. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE OF ANY EXCHANGE. Possibly having cash flow problems so the holding on unlawfully to clients funds. IS THIS ANOTHER FTX COMING DOWN PIKE!!! Don’t use Bitstamp!!!

  @stef_mulder I know 7 people who have blocked accounts at Bitstamp and 6 have already asked the CSSF for help, now the CSSF is handling it, people no longer have to deal with it, now the office in Luxembourg is handling it.

  @PureElliottWave Amazing ! Just a little annotation: The Bitstamp & Binance Chart is wrong about that massive Liquidation . It never fell that deep . Exchanges had some huge problems on that specific date . We didn’t have a 1Minute Candle closing under 1.80 .

  @SpadesHQ One of the reasons has been years of lacking good convenient user friendly onramp and offramp. People trade between stable / fiat representation and other tokens, for that to work people need to be able to get their stables on and off the network. Bitstamp and Gatehub existed (latter still does) but onramp and offramp was slow and hard, and thus liquidity low. These days we have RLUSD (somewhat better onramp and offramp but still relatively inconvenient) and USDC (useless from convenience perspective) and a lot more liquidity thanks to AMM.

  @crypt_shprd Why on earth would you use Bitstamp when you have access to exchanges where real volume is taking place? Serious question.

  @GoingParabolic I was recently converted when I tried to open a Binance account and was restricted due to being in the USA. Yesterday got a notice that Bitstamp wants proof of income. DEX is the future. Pick one DEX and go all in. I like Aster due to dark pools and CZ support

  @Bitstamp You're going exactly against the principles of BITCON. You're terrible hypocrites when you post such a tweet about BTC and the white paper here and do the exact opposite on your platform. You should be ashamed.

  Bitcoin is showing a dangerous signal! If 80K fails to hold, the short term may see a sharp drop first. From today’s Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC is now hovering around the $80,400–$80,800 range. On the surface, it looks like high-level sideways movement, but the structure on the right side is already very clear: the previous two attempts to break through 82K–82.5K both failed to hold, followed by consecutive pullbacks. This shows one thing: selling pressure above is heavy, and the bulls are starting to lose momentum on the push higher. My current judgment is very direct: in the short term, I’m looking for a pullback first, not chasing longs. Next, focus only on two levels: First, $80,000. This is the most important defense line for the bulls right now. As long as 80K can still hold, Bitcoin still has a chance to continue building strength and attack 81.5K–82K again. Second, $79,500–$78,800. If 80K breaks, the short term will likely continue to wash downward and test this support zone. This is the real area that decides whether the bulls can continue to stay in control. The most dangerous thing right now is not that it has dropped, but that it keeps failing to break higher at a high level. Many people see BTC still above 80K and think it will definitely continue to push toward 85K. But people who truly read the market do not only look at where price is standing. They look at: Is there continuation after the breakout attempt? Is there support on the pullback? Right now, the answer is very clear: selling pressure above 82K is obvious, and 80K is getting closer to being tested again. So my prediction is: short-term bearish, first watch the risk of 80K breaking. If 80K breaks, I will look toward 79.5K, even 78.8K. If 80K holds strongly and BTC reclaims 81.5K with volume, then it will have a chance to challenge 82K–82.5K again. One-sentence summary: now is not the position to blindly chase higher, but to watch whether the 80K defense line can hold. If it holds, there is still a chance to rebound; if it breaks, the short term will likely first wash down to 79.5K–78.8K. What do you think about this move? Do you think Bitcoin is washing and accumulating above 80K, or preparing to drop back to 78K to find support again? Type your direction in the comments: bullish, type 1; bearish, type 2. In my next post, I will directly break down: can 80K be entered near here? Where are the real entry and stop-loss levels? Follow me if you want to see the next key levels. Don’t wait until the market has already moved, only to realize you were one step too late again. （Personal opinion only, not investment advice.）

  @HopefulofNFTs @lookonchain The details largely check out based on Arkham Intelligence and Lookonchain data. The whale accumulated ~154,076 ETH since 2017 at ~$517 avg cost. Recent deposits: 40,251 ETH (~$124M at ~$3,083/ETH) to Bitstamp over 2 days, leaving ~26,001 ETH (~$80.16M). Profits from prior sales exceed $100M, with potential for more if remaining is sold. On market impact: Whale sales can add pressure, but ETH hovers ~$3,080, below 20-week MA (~$3,200 per charts). Thread replies note support at $2,800-$3,000.

  @ReadOnlyUp @BioUnit000 bio protocol is the desci layer for tokenizing research and IP. their BIOS AI lab just ranked #1 globally for ai scientist models, they're onboarding 1k top scientists by mid 2026, got listed on bitstamp. down 97% from ATH though. $42m market cap, decent volume. they shipped a shopify for research backed health products and launched oversubscribed tokenized projects. team is clearly executing but token got destroyed. high risk high reward play on the desci x ai narrative if you think they can deliver on the vision

  @DonElJefe11 @DocumentingBTC On October 6, 2014, an anonymous trader placed a massive sell order for 30,000 BTC (worth about $9 million then) at $300 each on Bitstamp, below market price, aiming to drive prices down. Dubbed the "Bear Whale," it created a wall of sell pressure. Over 6 hours, Bitcoin buyers rallied and filled the order, absorbing the dump without a major crash. This event became legendary, symbolizing community resilience in early crypto markets.
