MARACLSKRIOTHIVEWULF Ladies and Gerntlemen, When BTC goes up so miners barely move, when BTC falls a little they fall into an abyss. Miners seem to be not that profitable anymore after halving, since then liquidity ran away to crypto etfs and other crypto related assets. I hope not but probably, miners are officially dead.
CLSKHUTRIOTWULFHIVE Can anyone shortly explain why big money is shorting miners so heavily if bitcoin is nearing 100K? In this cycle miners are really lagging behind, most of them should have been at least on the half way to their previous cycle's ATHs! Anyone?
Anyone know of a rotation or what may be effecting the space?
This is my current guess.
Mstr got hit big yesterday from new short selling positions being released, I doubt they would directly short sell mstr without longing something else in the market. I’m suspecting they are rotating from shorting miners longing mstr to the opposite. I suspect riot clsk and btdr took the hit as well due to the negative sentiment but this may be the tipping point for them. Mara has been on its own corse, not sure what’s up with it.
What are your guy’s thoughts? Are there other things at play I might be missing?
This is a completely different cycle for miners, so much more competition but also there will be global fomo and I expect all btc derivatives will become saturated miners included. Would be hard not to see them pump once the markets ready. The fomo has just begun and miners haven’t gotten any attention. Think once the big boys get there bags and are ready for a pump it’ll get wild and that may be right around the corner, or in a couple months..
