Saying that BTC is a channel for de-dollarization is not specific enough; the performance of Monero better illustrates the point. Every time the US dollar's credibility is questioned, Monero rises accordingly, especially in recent days — it started accelerating at 5 a.m., with daily trading volume increasing by 300% compared to the previous day.



However, BTC may experience a short-term correction, and the logic is actually quite simple. BTC not only carries the demand for de-dollarization but also is a risk asset. When these two attributes act together, volatility is likely to occur. Especially during the weekend approaching Monday, US stock futures have already declined significantly, risk sentiment spills over into the crypto market, and with liquidity being thin to begin with, prices rise quickly and fall just as fast.

In essence, whether it's gold, BTC, or Monero, they are just channels for capital outflows from the dollar system, not the end goal. Once a large amount of capital completes the transfer through these channels, prices will pull back. Most of the funds using these channels are arbitrageurs rather than long-term holders, which determines the fragility of the market.

Monero at 5 a.m. really caught me off guard, with a 300% increase in trading volume... Now that's what I call a real signal. Be cautious of following the trend; when the US stock market opens on Monday, it might crash.

Monero's recent surge is indeed fierce, with a 300% trading volume that's no joke. Many are still buying BTC to catch the bottom, but the number of true believers has actually decreased. The dollar system's refuge in times of crisis, no doubt about it.

Monero surged at 5 a.m. and I actually missed it. These arbitrage traders really mess up the market. BTC is just a channel; even after transferring funds, it still needs to fall. Don’t blame me for the warning. Low liquidity is like this; when US stocks fall on Monday, everything gets chaotic—an unpredictable rhythm. Gold, BTC, and Monero are all just decoys; the US dollar system is the real main player. A 300% trading volume can’t scare me; a correction can come at any time. I really don’t understand what arbitrage traders are thinking in this wave. What about long-term holders? As soon as US dollar credit loosens, someone takes the opportunity to loot—typical short-term thinking. I’ve come to believe in the channel theory, but I don’t know how to make money from it. The weekend is the easiest time to get caught in a trap. I’ve decided to lie low for now.

Monero's recent surge is indeed impressive, but the arbitrageurs' trick of harvesting profits remains the same. A 300% trading volume but still able to fall so quickly—just watching the show. The capital channel theory is well explained, but those worried about getting trapped still end up losing money. Will the market break through the support level right at opening on Monday? I bet five dollars they'll cut a wave. Whoever can catch the final move in this round will make a profit; everyone else is just illusions.

Monero's 300% trading volume surge is indeed impressive, but I think your logic is still too idealistic. Arbitrageurs entering and exiting so quickly, short-term spikes don't mean much... If it drops, it just drops.
