Episode notes
ETF-Driven, Low-Leverage Rally
- Bitcoin's recent 10% weekly surge reached a new ATH near $125,750 in early October.
- The move occurred largely without MicroStrategy and showed low leverage as futures open interest reset.
Broad Melt-Up And Dollar Weakness
- Multiple assets are rallying together, suggesting a broad melt-up rather than isolated growth.
- Some commentators call this a flight from fiat and monetary panic as the dollar weakens sharply.
Respect Sentiment And Manage Risk
- Watch sentiment indicators because extreme bullishness raises the risk of rapid unwinds.
- Remember that FOMO-driven rallies commonly end with sharp corrections, so position sizing matters.
