When I said we’re in for pain last week, I didn’t expect it to happen this weekend 😱

Hello there 👋 Vlad is back, and today is a special edition.... "Apocalypse now" edition :)

Let's see what's happening.

Crypto total market cap lost - $500Bn (ouch!)
BTC saw $1.1Bn liquidated (double ouch!)
Stock market crashed by 3% - that's $2.9 Trillion with a T! 💸

Is this the end of the world?

We can’t tell for sure, but there are signs—about the market, not the end of the world 😂

Now, Why did this happen?

1) The Japanese Nikkei fell 12%, the most since 1987.

And the thread bellow on what exactly happened.

Godzilla Returns
In a desperate bid to save their falling currency, the Japanese have begun hiking rates. USDJPY has begun collapsing, and with it, the carry trade that held up their massive overleveraged economy.

Defense contracts stocks are flying again while everything else is tanking. 🚀💣

3) Jump Trading is rebranding to "Dump Trading" (not really, but might as well). They're leaving the market-making biz and dumping ETH.

I'm watching this selling by Jump Trading on @ArkhamIntel  and it's not natural. They are the smartest traders in world, why are they selling so fast on a Sunday with low liquidity?
I would imagine they are being liquidated or have an urgent obligation.

Why are they dumping for 26hrs straight on an illiquid weekend?
There is a rumor that is almost confirmed that someone big got smoked, so not they are offloading. Also, there is one more rumor and that they are being probed by the SEC
