Crypto Analyst Says He Has a “Weird” Feeling About the Market: “Something Isn’t Right”

Earlier today, a prominent crypto analyst shared his concerns about the current market conditions, expressing that he has a “weird” feeling about the space.

Posting on the social media platform X, the analyst explained that although it’s difficult to fully describe, he feels something isn’t quite right with the market. The analyst outlined several reasons behind his growing unease, highlighting key factors contributing to his uncertainty.

First, he noted a clear disconnect between retail traders on YouTube (YT) and Crypto Twitter (CT), with retail sentiment diverging at an all-time high. At the same time, he pointed out that meme coins are experiencing significant pumps while alternative coins (alts) remain relatively flat. Adding to the confusion, he mentioned how quickly market sentiment is shifting between bearish and bullish, faster than he’s ever seen before.

Furthermore, he said that rotations within the market are happening at an unprecedented pace. The market, he observed, had already front-run the narrative around Q4 and quantitative easing (QE) very hard, while geopolitical tensions continue to loom in the background, adding an extra layer of uncertainty. While he acknowledged the presence of strong bullish arguments—such as the upcoming election, a favorable macroeconomic backdrop, and seasonal trends—the analyst admitted he has de-risked part of his portfolio.

His decision to lock in profits is apparently driven by his uncertainty about the short-term direction of the market. Despite his macro-bullish outlook, he is taking a more cautious stance until he can gain a clearer read on the situation.

In a follow-up message, the analyst clarified that his actions were not motivated purely by trading instincts but by the current lack of clear bullish signals for the upcoming weeks. He noted that the market currently feels like a “coin flip,” and he prefers to trade in setups where he feels he has an edge. As such, he has decided to step back and wait to see how the situation unfolds before making any further moves.
