That’s right, the era of “to the moon, bro!” seems to be more like “to the couch, bro.” Ki Young Ji, the CryptoQuant bigwig, put it bluntly: “Memecoin markets are dead.” Ouch.

This week’s Bitcoin options ballet features a put/call ratio of 1.1 – a delicate dance where shorts slightly outnumber longs, as if the market itself is whispering, “Expect a gentle exit, dear traders, nothing too tumultuous.” The maximum pain point hovers around $90,000-like a secret lover’s whisper-according to Coinglass.
