In this episode, Nik is joined by TBL research associate Johan Bergman to analyze Bitcoin’s latest price action and on-chain signals. They break down the bullish engulfing pattern that may mark a trend reversal, explain why high-volume nodes at $105K and $117K act as support and resistance, and discuss the behavior of longs and shorts as positions reset. Johan highlights healthy signals in the derivatives market, including balanced funding rates and short squeezes, while on-chain data shows billions in realized profits and the overhang that must clear before price can break higher. The conversation ties SOPR, funding rates, sell-side risk, and implied volatility together to show how all markets reflect the same human behavior driving Bitcoin’s monetization.
