## Resource

Craig says crypto liquidity has dried up dramatically, with Bitcoin stuck inside a month-long range between roughly  $62,500 and $65,500  and only a small fraction of tracked trading pairs showing meaningful volume. He remains cautious and wants to see Bitcoin break lower before becoming more aggressive, with  $59,000  as the next major area to watch if the current range fails.  The episode also covers Craig’s current  XRP short , potential long setups in  Hyperliquid  and possibly BNB, and why thin order books make slippage and execution risk much more important right now. His main message is patience: there are still profitable trades, but traders should focus only on strong trends with real liquidity rather than forcing activity in a messy market.
