In this episode, Demian and Johan unpack Bitcoin’s recent trend break, the shift into bear territory on several on chain metrics, and why the short term holder cost basis and true market mean are now critical levels. They cover the liquidation cascade that started in October, the divergence in put call positioning across exchanges, the sharp drop in open interest, and the surprising strength of the most recent WIC off $80,000. Johan explains how trend structure, RSI momentum, realized profit behavior, and valuation zones fit together, what would confirm a reversal, and why the four year cycle may be losing relevance as Bitcoin matures into an institutional asset.
