Saturday closes green Sunday usually goes even greener – 23 Feb 2025 – Crypto Market Today

So, today’s crypto market? Pretty chill. Nothing wild. Yesterday it closed at 96K, today it’s at 96.6K—just a tiny 0.6% move. Not much action.

Now, here’s something interesting: if Saturday closes green, Sunday usually goes even greener. Why?

Let’s look at how the market moves throughout the day (based on UTC+6 time):

• 8 AM – 3 PM → Slow and mostly red. Stock markets are closed, and ETFs (exchange-traded funds) don’t trade on Sundays.
• 4 PM – 11 PM → Starts turning green. Retail investors (the everyday traders) begin jumping in.
• Midnight – 8 AM → Green continues.

But wait, why was Saturday green in the first place?

It’s because big institutions in the U.S. started buying early. Since the stock market is closed on Sunday, they load up on Saturday instead. Then, on Sunday, retail traders in the U.S. take their turn and push prices up.

What about Korea and China? Well, their liquidity (how much money flows in and out) just isn’t big enough to move the market like the U.S. can. If Korea can’t move the price much, imagine Zimbabwe—barely makes a dent.

Here’s a fun fact: Asia is often seen as “exit liquidity” for Western traders. Basically, Western institutions make their moves, and Asian traders react instead of leading. Why? Because in Asia, people are generally more focused on work than politics or macroeconomics. Most traders here just follow technical analysis (TA) instead of understanding the bigger picture behind price moves. They just want quick profits without caring about the “story” behind the charts.

📅 Today’s crypto market is relatively stable, with Bitcoin (BTC) closing at 96.6K, showing a minimal 0.6% movement from yesterday. But did you know that Saturday’s closing color can indicate Sunday’s trend? Let’s break it down! 💡 Why Was Saturday Green? Institutions in the U.S. buy in advance, knowing that Sundays have no ETF trading. On Sunday, U.S. retail investors take over, pushing the market further up. 💰 Asia’s Role in the Market Unlike the U.S., Asian liquidity doesn’t move Bitcoin significantly. Western institutions lead, and Asian traders often act as exit liquidity, focusing more on technical analysis (TA) rather than macro trends. 📊 Bitcoin’s Typical Behavior: ✔️ 2 steps up, 1 step down = Natural market movement ❌ Market makers’ influence = Unusual patterns that aren’t driven by fundamentals 📉 What’s Next for BTC? ✅ Sunday closes green → Monday likely green ❌ Sunday closes red → Monday could be even redder 🏦 If Monday is a holiday → Sunday might turn red, with action shifting to Monday 🔔 Don’t trade blind! Understanding the WHY behind market moves is key to long-term success! #CryptoMarket #CryptoUpdate #CryptoToday #CryptoNews #Bitcoin #BTCAnalysis #CryptoTrading #BitcoinPricePrediction #CryptoInsights #MarketTrends #TradingStrategy #BTCUpdate #Altcoins #CryptoTA #Cryptocurrency #CryptoInvesting #FinancialMarkets

Now, back to Bitcoin’s usual behavior: 2 steps up, 1 step down—that’s the typical pattern. If it doesn’t move like that, it’s probably not fundamentals driving it but rather market makers (big players manipulating the market). Fundamentals create trends, but daily price movements are driven by short-term data and emotions.

So, what happens next?

• If Sunday ends green → Monday is likely green.
• If Sunday is red → Monday will be even redder.
• If Monday is a holiday → Sunday might turn red, and the market will start moving on Monday instead.

And that’s the game. Simple patterns, but understanding the “why” behind them is what separates smart traders from those just chasing numbers.
