The information and insights are based on my knowledge; don’t take it as financial advice.

News

  • According to Coinbase, the FDIC has reportedly "advised" banks on over 20 occasions against offering cryptocurrency-related services.

  • With the recent rise of spot Bitcoin ETFs, these funds now control over 1 million BTC, a total valuation exceeding $72 billion.

  • MicroStrategy has disclosed plans for a major $42 billion Bitcoin acquisition.

  • Jimmy Patronis, Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, has proposed establishing a state reserve of Bitcoin as a potential security for retirees, describing Bitcoin as "digital gold" with the potential to stabilize the state’s portfolio and act as a buffer against swings in traditional asset classes.

Risk-On Warning: First Blow-Off incoming!

The Yield spread (10-2Y) has reversed well back above zero after staying below for over 2 years. With the FED rate now really cut strongly, indicators are lining up in a prerecession formation.

Similar patterns preceded a recession within 6 months in the past, but ignited a final rally first. After that? Sharp collapse. Compare it yourself in the chart below.

Bitcoin - Falling Broadening Wedge - Update

→ Supermacro Context

Bitcoin (BTC) has broken out of the 7-month descending broadening wedge pattern two weeks ago and is currently testing the upper trend line once again.

Historically, a falling broadening wedge within an uptrend has a 79% probability of breaking to the upside. Additionally, there has been a strong rebound off the 40-week simple moving average (SMA) band, further supporting a potential upward move.

As long as the price closes the week above the 59.8k level, the 4-5 wave shown below will likely be confirmed by surpassing the ATH set earlier this year. It's evident that the price is still in the 3-4 correction phase, with the exciting final blow-off wave 4-5 yet to begin.


Roughly two scenarios remain to play out between now and EOY-’25:

  1. Due to an imminent recession (probably within 5 months), $BTC has a blow-off wave priorly, or prints a truncated wave 5 slightly above the current ATH;

  2. The 4-year cycle plays out and price tops EOY-’25;
