Bitcoin's near-term macro backdrop is not yet favorable because the Fed balance sheet is stuck at $6.75 trillion, so patience is warranted. The Fed will eventually have to step in for debt markets. ETF inflows leave time for October to turn positive, while Bitwise raised its 2036 target to $1.6 million and says institutions may allocate 1% to 5% as adoption and debasement-hedge demand rise. A U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve may start buying very soon once crypto rules are settled. x.com  x.com  … Show more

Government will never stop printing money, which should make bitcoin, gold and land do well for two decades. x.com 

The US dollar's Stage 2 advance and a weak overall market tilt the evidence bearish for Bitcoin. Most crypto stocks are in Stage 4, and too little else confirms a new Stage 2 move. Bitcoin is likely to fail its recent move and resume Stage 4. x.com  x.com 

Bitcoin's recovery can continue because the crypto market has been little affected by uncertainty and its worst days are behind it. At this stage Bitcoin resembles gold in early 2025, with crypto recovering from its bottom and moving upward. x.com 

Bitcoin remains extremely bullish over the cycle, but crypto will very likely move lower before year-end so the cycle can reset before the trend reverses. Indicators, historical data, seasonality, the economic and Bitcoin cycles and structural issues in the debt-based system all point that way, and an unforeseen catalyst will likely appear to justify a move already underway. The bill is coming due, aggressive rate cuts and QE are inevitable, and crypto will explode when almost no one is left. … Show more

Bitcoin may need sustained demand above all to outweigh selling pressure, since even favorable catalysts have coincided with declines. BTC fell despite rate cuts, a pro-crypto president, institutional adoption and rising liquidity; it now faces rate hikes, war in Iran, inflation, AI-bubble fears, quantum risks and AI-driven crypto hacks. x.com 

Bitcoin and gold should benefit because money printing is now unavoidable. Since COVID, the US is past the point of no return, and any plan other than printing risks total collapse and civil or global war. x.com 

Crypto still has room to rise because institutional adoption is accelerating and good altcoins remain underowned globally. Traditional finance is bringing assets onchain, and progress since five years ago makes it impossible to be bearish. Bitcoin looks stronger than overstretched altcoins and has shaken off severe bad news; more chop or shakeouts could come before the market moves higher. x.com 

Bitcoin is likely to be hit hard in the scenario expected next year, with the dollar index now seemingly certain to reach 108-110. @AtlasShrug1 warns that a dollar index at those levels would make it tough for bitcoin and could bring a retest of the lows. x.com  x.com 

Bitcoin's fixed supply offers protection as UK debt forces sterling debasement. With debt above £3 trillion, a roughly £350 billion annual deficit and a 5.77% 30-year gilt yield, a war scare could serve as cover for printing. A sudden UK monetary reset could wipe out 80% of purchasing power, though this could be wrong. Bitcoin is a 5-10 year hold, not a promise of returns in 6-24 months; if governments keep printing, its long-term price should rise against their currencies. x.com  x.com
