The chart did not break because the market collapsed. It broke because the market stopped believing the floor. Over the past week, a thin slice of DeFi liquidity has been moving sideways while price keeps asking the same question: who is actually left to buy? That is the signal. It is not the headline drawdown. It is the absence of bids where they used to sit. When order flow gets quiet in the wrong way, the next move tends to arrive as a shock. We are seeing that pattern again. The tape looks normal until you check the depth and realize the market is running on thinner rails than the price action suggests.
