Greeks.live: Bitcoin Forms ‘Two-Way Induced’ Price Move, Market in Liquidity Game
On 5 March, Greeks.live Macro Researcher Adam published an English-language community newsletter in which traders were generally bearish, expecting the market to fall further. Traders are focusing on the 87-89k area as a key resistance level and see 82k as a near-term bottom, but there is clear disagreement on whether the market has found a sustainable bottom.
The market is experiencing extreme price volatility, with Bitcoin moving 6k in one day in a ‘two-way induced’ price move. Several traders have chosen to sell calls in the 89-90k range as their preferred strategy in the current environment, with some traders reporting losses of -260% on calls sold at lower levels. The market's bearish skew remains pronounced, suggesting that market expectations are still tilted to the downside despite the brief rally.
The briefing also mentioned that the Trump tariff announcement and subsequent policy reversal is adding to market confusion, with many traders choosing to stay on the sidelines due to unpredictable price action. Some members felt that the market was in a liquidity game and that getting in and out of the market quickly was critical.

BUZZ - Musk's comments on TSMC and Terafab cause Intel shares to decline
October 5 — Chip maker Intel (INTC.O) shares fell 2.35% to $116.53. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla (TSLA.O) and SpaceX (SPCX.O), stated on the X platform Saturday that TSMC and his chip manufacturing project Terafab are in discussions about potential cooperation. On Saturday, Musk responded on the X platform to a screenshot of an article titled “TSMC is exploring a partnership with Elon Musk’s TeraFab project,” writing: “Just at the discussion stage for now, but there could be an outcome.” If TSMC becomes involved, it could challenge Intel’s position in the Terafab project. B Riley Wealth Chief Market Strategist Art Hogan said: “The Musk news appears to be a catalyst, but Intel’s sharp rally in September left the stock susceptible to a pullback.” Tesla and Intel have not yet responded to Reuters’ requests for comment. Driven by strong demand for AI and semiconductor stocks, Intel shares rose roughly 34% in September. Including today’s gains, Intel shares have more than doubled this year.
