Retail staying quiet while BTC revisits $60K
I'm noticing Bitcoin back near $60K, but the vibe is totally different from last time. Retail isn't piling in — makes me wonder what they're sensing.

Michael Saylor's leveraged BTC strategy worked in a bull run, but what happens when the premium fades? History has a way of repeating.

The data on spot exchange sell pressure for altcoins is the most extreme we've seen since 2020. Are we really still calling this a dip?
Yield dip ahead of Fed – crypto opportunity?

The latest realized losses data for BTC is 187K BTC — well below the panic levels we've seen in past corrections. Makes you wonder if we've truly seen seller exhaustion yet.

Bitcoin hashrate rolling over — shallow dip or something deeper?
Hashrate pulling back again. The key question is whether this stays a minor dip or turns into the kind of drawdown we've seen at previous cycle bottoms. Worth keeping an eye on.
