Bitcoin's rebound faces constrained upside from dealer hedging and weak US spot demand. Seventy percent of dealer gamma sits at $75,000-$82,000 ahead of Friday's $11B options expiry; the Coinbase premium had no positive days in October and an $83,000 fakeout keeps traders defensive. The Fed hold spurred relief, ETFs added $110.34M and $176M, and record US debt drives long-term accumulation. A hot PCE print would raise December hike odds and pressure Bitcoin through higher yields. x.com x.comÂ
Bitcoin outperformance could lift Coinbase, Robinhood and Securitize as the new financial system reaches an inflection point. JPMorgan Asset Management projects bitcoin returns ahead of US equities, gold, REITs and bonds over the next decade; if that plays out, watch what happens to these equities. x.comÂ
Strategy is attracting some of the world's largest fund managers because they want Bitcoin exposure. Their buying supports the bullish case for MSTR as a listed vehicle for institutional Bitcoin demand. x.comÂ
Bitcoin appears near a local bottom: MARA's reported sale of 996 BTC is another contrarian bottom indicator. x.comÂ
Strategy is breaking out of a long consolidation as bitcoin surges, with upside gap fills at $140-$145 and $170-$175. Rising moving averages support the next leg, and a large positive vanna exposure cluster, including $8.6M at the $175 gap for the January 15, 2027 expiry, should act as a price magnet. Dealer positioning at the $150 and $200 strikes adds to the runway. x.com x.comÂ
Coinbase and Strategy amplify every move bitcoin and Ethereum make, making them the most asymmetric way to buy the crypto crash while the crowd sells. Their Wave 3 targets are $676 for Coinbase and $952 for Strategy. x.comÂ
Bitcoin could draw big institutional money once it gets a real slot in bank model portfolios; a bullish research forecast alone is not enough. JPMorgan projects 10% annual returns over 10-15 years, ahead of US large-cap stocks at 7.5% and gold at 5.5%, but excludes Bitcoin from its main risk models because its links to other assets are unstable. Bitcoin could top $100,000, but keep exposure small: JPMorgan expects 55% annual volatility and models an 11.2% annual loss in its bad case. x.com x.com … Show more
Kevin Warsh's very dovish statement supports the Bitcoin pivot-low scenario and a move higher this quarter. In this favored scenario, Bitcoin makes another higher high in the $90k-$100k area, the stock market reaches new all-time highs, and altcoins follow suit. x.comÂ
The current crypto-market shock was needed to form a bottom. Bitcoin will not fall below $60,000 again. x.comÂ
Crypto's coming run will be much larger than 2020's because stock-market and gold runs into 2026 exceeded those into 2020. Bitcoin's and Ethereum's runs into 2025 also exceeded those into 2019. Macro-risk ratios across stocks, metals, oil, PMI and crypto again resemble 2016 and 2020, positioning Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins for a major bull run. Focus on 2027-28; the one-year median altcoin return against Bitcoin is still -17.5%. x.com x.com x.com x.com x.comÂ
