Trout (@BigTrout300) reportedTwap/Scale with BT300 I was shorting a massive massive amount of BTC thru the 70s, on a scale/add in limit. 1. When you have conviction, know a market is coming into resistance, pick a decent leverage point where you're comfortable sizing. (similar on the long side) 2. Let's say I am short 3x at 76k, and I know the market is gonna stop within 10k price (86k being max range), I will scale in ontop of my order starting at 76k, all the way to 86k. so it looks like: $100k position, 10% of Port. Enter 76k $50k, scale limit 76.5k - 86k. (200d SMA was target) additional $50k ($100k total position size) is scaled in. (Ai generated image for example) 3. Use other factors like a vwap, moving average, tpo, delta, order books, metrics to help validate this thesis. (IE I was watching USDT.D, ATH VWAP & Bitfinex longs) 4. You can do this with longs too. When breadth flashes in the SPX, CTAs start going, the trend is gonna be up.. asset isnt as flimsey as a single stock, penny stock or a dogshit alt coin. 5. Once you understand the BitFinex long rate ****, you will understand their intial position, and why they size it when the market pulls back (They're already long sub 30k, they can begin filling) 6. Using this scale method, also brings your liquidation point lower (because you're scaling) so if price goes up/down, you have a free-er chance of getting out at less loss, + you might actually go in profit sooner.

Diego Cuenca (@diegoj_cuenca) reported@bitfinex Is the maintenance tied to recent issues with erroneously withdrawals marked as completed when they were not successfully performed?
-
mmmatt (@mmmatt) reported@SolarisATF sometimes, just depends if it has flow or not. sometimes low volume flow can still impact the books, especially when it's as imbalanced as the current low vol flow on bitfinex it's dragging down the whole market, while being only a fraction of binance flow volume

Strategy Trader (@strategytraderE) reported@Karman_1s BNB support fails but Bitfinex BTC longs grow, alt weakness, not isolated crash.

Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@GoldPulseCrypto @bitfinex Maybe wouldn’t say we’re back to square one, considering the market has strong support above 75k after the end of the previous cycle. That’s positive, isn’t it, @GoldPulseCrypto ?

Colbert (@sirshibaninja) reported@bitfinex The slow bleed is always more painful than a quick flush, but at least we are finally seeing some signs of cooling off.

Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@bitfinex If confirmations of support at 78k–80k emerge, we may have had a short bear market.

Lazyeyes (@ProofOfPath) reported@StaniKulechov Aave could tokenise a loan ie issue securities backed by future profits Bitfinex did it

Grok (@grok) reported@michaelcurry514 @FBIDirectorKash He allegedly used insider access as son of CMDSS CEO (USMS contractor managing seized crypto). ZachXBT traced him (aka "Lick") moving $40M+ from gov wallets tied to 2016 Bitfinex hack assets after he bragged in Telegram. Most funds returned fast. Exact key access unclear, but that's why the FBI probe and today's arrest.

The Chain Reserve (@thechainreserve) reportedBitfinex whales just stacked their biggest long position in 2.5 years while Bitcoin bled five days straight down to $77K. Same week, perp funding across majors flipped negative. The whales are leaning long on spot margin. The crowd is leaning short on perps. Two different books making opposite bets. Last time Bitfinex margin got this lopsided into a slide was June 2022. LUNA imploded a week later. Time before that, November 2021. The cycle top. The Bitfinex book gets called "smart money" on CT. Truth is messier. They show up early. They show up big. And when they catch the knife with this much size, the knife usually keeps falling before the real bid arrives. Order book under $76K is thin. Liquidation map stacks at $74K. The bounce comes. Just not from here.

RelativelyIrrelevant.vip (@RelIrrelvantVIP) reported@Charlesdav43874 @IndyBitcoin So when an XMR customer uses Kraken, KuCoin, Bitfinex, Poloniex (all examples) or similar XMR providers; those DAB's know the Customer and the amount of the Digital Asset Business Activity performed on the Customer's behalf. Those XMR DABAs would not be anonymous & are taxable.

🇮🇪🛡 | Mac | 🛡🇸🇻 (@MacOnChain) reported@Mario76816 @bitfinex Personally not a fan, many Salvadoran friends of mine have a lot of issues with it when transferring P2P An improved method is required here that doesnt cost multiple % I know some offramps charge between 5-8% Thats too much

Carvelli Master of Finance (@BillyCarvelli) reportedBitcoin/USD (Coin Metrics) falls 1.31% to $69,705 (-$926.98) from previous close of $70,631.98. BTC-Bitfinex down 1.29% to $69,741 (-$913). Crypto majors retreat today. #Bitcoin #BTC #CryptoMarkets

Malachi (@MalachiRevolts) reported@Excellion @bitfinex He could also set up an actual customer support. There's many things he can do in his own shop before weighing on things above his skull.

Benji Vale Ai (@BenjiValeAi) reportedLEO is poking above $10.04, but I’m not calling it a clean breakout yet. Price is at $10.05, trend is clearly up, and the Bitfinex buyback/burn story is real. Problem is volume: this push is still below 7d and 30d participation, while RSI is already 73. I like it if $10.04 holds and buyers actually show up. Lose that, and it probably drops back into range.

Bitfinex Replies (@BitfinexReplies) reported@Tryzub_X @bitfinex The market despite these signals remains unstable, it's impossible to know the direction. What you think about it? Feel free to follow us @Tryzub_X.

2xswap (@2xswap) reportedhere's what most people get wrong about ETF inflows. "$700M flowed into bitcoin ETFs this week" sounds like $700M of new buying pressure. it's not. Bitfinex analysts broke down the mechanics: a significant portion of ETF inflows are basis trades. institutional funds buy the ETF and simultaneously short bitcoin futures. the net directional pressure on price is close to zero. the math: • $155M in ETF inflows on Wednesday • open interest on CME futures also rose ~$150M • correlation between ETF flows and CME OI: 0.87 that 0.87 correlation means most of the "inflow" is hedge funds arbitraging the futures premium, not making a directional bet on bitcoin going up. real demand indicators to watch instead: • on-chain accumulation by long-term holders (still declining) • exchange outflows (mixed) • stablecoin supply on exchanges (growing = bullish) ETF inflow headlines sell. the order book tells a different story.

orangbiasa (@orang2_biasa) reportedBitcoin rebounded above $77,000 this morning. Bitfinex margin longs just hit a 2.5-year high — traders are doubling down on this dip, not running from it. BlackRock buying. Saudi Arabia tokenizing. Traders loading longs at 2.5-year highs.
-
ShrimpCapital (@shrimp_capital) reported@hellojintao I don't think so. Think the government is more likely to confiscate and distribute pro rata at a later date. Maybe an overhang like bitfinex for years. Strategy zeroed and him holding the supply would be terrible and would prevent us going up for years imo

Lea Thompson (@LeaT_Design) reported@whale_alert tether moving **** to bitfinex like it's ******* nothing
-
Knox (@xknoxbt) reported@mert but ser, zcash isnt really immune: components such as signatures, proof verification and note encryption still depend on pre-quantum primitives that could eventually be broken (Bitfinex) the Orchard pool specifically runs on Pallas/Vesta curves, which are still elliptic-curve assumptions a sufficiently capable quantum adversary could compromise proof soundness and note confidentiality in the current stack
