Bitcoin MVRV Shows Lower Risk

  • Brian says buying at these negative MVRVs is mathematically a safer entry than much of Bitcoin's history.

Whale-Retail Dynamics Predict Price Moves

  • Santiment's five-color scale correlates whale accumulation with strong price rallies and whale dumping with declines.
  • Historical patterns show prices surge when whales buy from panicking retail and fall when whales dump into retail demand.
ADVICE

Watch Whale Wallet Flows

  • Monitor whale and shark wallet flows as the primary signal for market direction.
