Did you check the charts today? For a few minutes, the Top 100 on Binance printed the exact same red candle. 🕯️
It wasn't panic selling. It wasn't news.
It was The Machines. 🤖
How it works:
1. The Trigger: Bitcoin hits a specific price level that triggers a liquidation cascade (longs getting wiped out).
2. The Bot Reaction: High-Frequency Trading (HFT) algorithms enter "protection mode." Since Alts are correlated to BTC, the moment BTC drops 1%, bots instantly slash bids on 100+ altcoins to match the drop.
3. The Result: A synchronized "flash" where the whole screen turns red in the same second.
The Lesson:
When you see the "Twin Candle," do not panic sell. That is usually the bottom of the dip. The bots move faster than you, but they also buy back faster.
Wait for the decoupling (when Alts stop following BTC's exact move) before you enter. 🧠
