Episode notes
INSIGHT

Drivers Behind Bitcoin's Breakout

  • Bitcoin's recent breakout is driven by softer inflation data, ETF inflows, and rising treasury demand leading to institutional buying.
  • These factors combined create momentum but face resistance at the bull-market moving-average band near $98k–$103k.
INSIGHT

Key Technical Resistance Levels

  • The bull-market support band (20-week SMA and 21-week EMA) sits overhead and acts as key resistance near current levels.
  • Expect the $100k psychological level and a cluster around $103k to be meaningful short-term hurdles.
ADVICE

Manage Risk Around The 60‑Day Cycle

  • Prepare for a cycle peak: Bitcoin often tops around day 50–55 of a 60-day cycle and then corrects quickly.
  • Manage risk for a 10–20% pullback and expect a potentially rapid decline followed by a bounce.
