I’d like to see a local bottom at least. I feel like I’d be catching a falling knife right now.

IBIT June 2028 calls are ridiculously cheap. 30 months in crypto is an eternity.

Who in their right mind would sell me a $45 call that expires in 2.5 years for $11.50/share? That’s insanity. These aren’t shares of Intel.

The fear/greed index on coinmarketcap is 5.


Cinco. Cinq. Funf.

That’s the lowest reading in history, I think.

That's the lowest yet.

I kid (hopefully).

It'll be interesting to see what ETF outflows are today. I think they're a day behind reporting, if I remember correctly? I could be wrong.

The magnitude of the shakeout seems fake to me.

The drop was more than when FTX went insolvent, and there was basically no real reason this dip other than “because frick you”.

Probably a lot of money to be made for people with dry powder.

This feels so weird. I think this is what happens when bitcoin becomes ultra tradable via ETFs. People were trading and hedging it down yesterday which created artificial sell pressure. It was easy money pushing the beach ball under water.

When the knife finally stopped falling shorts started rolling off and buyers engaged simultaneously, the ball popped out of the water.

What’s interesting is that this new dynamic where bitcoin is a tradfi toy means that the dormancy era is likely over. Volatility might start increasing again as everyone bets on what direction bitcoin goes next. Not sure exactly what I’m trying to say but I believe firmly that “volatility is vitality” and we shouldn’t fear bitcoin raging across the chart. That’s what it does best.

IBIT trading 270M shares yesterday was low-key a big silver lining. That’s a lot of btc being traded.

The idea is we let people gamble on the thing that we believe in. We pick it up when they dump it in the trash, the float shrinks, the ball is back in play and we go another round at a higher price floor.

The power law bottom/support trend line for the current price is only 9 months out. From a probability standpoint, that’s a VERY strong entry point. For perspective, in December 2024 btc was trading about 40 months ahead of the power law support line.

I have in my head ~$58k as a daily closing bottom, give or take. That's based on an average ~8% bleed over two-ish months following major dumps in the past. I'm certainly in buying mode at the moment for BTC and ETH.

Verify which networks you're using before hitting send because a wrong chain choice means your funds are gone forever.

It's also smart to check the withdrawal fees on each exchange first since they vary a lot. To keep costs down while trading, I've been using Pocket Option for quick scalps on crypto pairs without dealing with the usual exchange lag.

Just stick to the major pairs like BTC/USDT to ensure there's enough liquidity for your entries.

I know there is no rhythm or reason to btc, but any reason for the 6% uptick overnight?

Despite ho-hum price action as of late, some good news is that the SEC has officially clarified what they consider securities as it relates to the crypto industry. Below is a link to a pdf. Page 13 starts the official definitions.
