Episode notes
Correction Looks Significant Despite Smaller Than Past Pullbacks
- Bitcoin experienced a 14% drawdown from mid-August highs, reflecting a meaningful correction for institutional capital.
- Futures open interest is only 10% lower than the highs, so leverage rebuilt quickly and leaves the market vulnerable.
Buy-The-Dip Chatter Isn't A Bottom Signal
- Social sentiment shows rising "buy the dip" chatter, which often signals that a crowd bottom has not yet formed.
- True market bottoms usually coincide with widespread fear and a lack of interest to buy, not hype to buy dips.
On-Chain Signals And Gold Offer Clues
- On-chain metrics like MVRV suggest weakening capital inflow and potential exhaustion during the rally.
- Gold's strong breakout may serve as a leading indicator since Bitcoin has followed gold over the past year.
