Markets blow up, so ‘the best prep is to have a plan to buy fear and sell euphoria’ — Veteran trader

Pear Protocol founder HUF says “a limited pool of capital constantly rotating between narratives” is a clear sign of “late cycle behavior.”

Global markets blew up over the weekend, and the onslaught carried on throughout the trading day on Aug. 5 as the DOW and S&P 500 dropped by more than 1,000 points and Bitcoin (BTC) price fell below $49,000.
