⚠️ The two hottest trades of the year—AI and Bitcoin—both faced massive liquidations by the end of the year. The 'weakest link in AI,' Oracle, peaked first in September, followed by BTC hitting a new high in October before plunging, and finally, NVIDIA started to decline in November. Market sentiment is such a fascinating thing. If they didn’t drop: Everyone would still be in AI, and everyone would still be in BTC. The function of price has never been to validate fundamentals but to redistribute risk at different stages. When everyone is in the same trade, the only way for the market to keep functioning is to force some people to exit first. Either grind them out sideways or flush them out vertically. So they *have* to drop, drop hard, drop to the right level. Mr. Market is making his move!
