Saturday morning. Most US traders just got back from Memorial Day weekend. Here's what they're about to walk into.
$BTC has been trading in a sub-3% range for six straight days. That compression absorbed everything — Moody's stripping the US of its last AAA rating, the GENIUS Act passing into law, a new Fed Chair sworn in, and multiple 500M+ liquidation flushes. The floor never cracked.
Monday's open is the first full session where all of that becomes the new baseline.
What I'm watching:
→ $BTC: $77K held through thin holiday liquidity. That's not weakness, it's a bid. The May 29 $6B options expiry means any directional move from here gets dealer-amplified fast.
→ $XRP: ETF inflows have been quietly diverging from BTC outflows for two consecutive weeks. That's institutional reallocation, not retail noise.
→ $AVAX: Sovereign tokenization demand — Saudi Arabia, European bank consortiums — hasn't hit price yet. Subnet deployment is the ignition mechanism.
The compression was the setup. The holiday was the patience test. Monday is where it gets interesting.
