NFA Live! Bitcoin, World Cup (Not Football Advice)
đ Bitcoin Market Outlook
- Bitcoin is trading sideways around $60,000 â typical summer lull.
- On-chain signals suggest a potential bottom:
- Over 50% of Bitcoin supply is held at a loss.
- Monthly RSI at its second-lowest level in 17 years.
- Z-score (on-chain valuation) near 1.5 standard deviations.
- Expected short-term range: $62,000 â $68,000, depending on macro developments.
- Key indicators: recovery of 200-day SMA, sustained ETF inflows, and the Coinbase premium.
- The Fed remains hawkish: about half of the governors vote for a rate hike by year-end.
- Oil prices have dropped, but geopolitical tensions (Iran) could push them back up.
- AI investments drive demand for electricity and chips, fueling demand-pull inflation.
- The Fed is considering changes to the PCE measurement (âtrimmed PCEâ), potentially shifting goalposts.
- Argentina (Benâs team) won dramatically with 3 goals in 15 minutes â best game ever seen.
- France considered strongest team (balanced attack and defense).
- England still struggles with penalty shootouts (Harry Kane missed against France in 2022).
- Controversy over red card for the USA: initially given, later overturned by FIFA president â criticized for lack of transparency and political influence.
- Clarity Act (crypto regulation): likely not passing this year, as a supermajority requires many Democrats â ethical concerns (Trump & family profited from crypto deals) block it.
- MicroStrategy (Sailor): Selling Bitcoin (approx. 3,000 BTC) to repay debt and buy back shares. Optics are bad, as he previously preached ânever sellâ.
- Selling pressure is known (up to $1.25 billion planned), but could weigh on the market.
- Institutional investors may wait until the sale is completed.
- Tom Lee keeps buying Bitcoin â his approach: buy in the bear market, profit long-term.
- Summer likely sideways with potential upside on positive macro signals.
- World Cup provides distraction but also its own controversies.
- Regulatory policy remains slow â wait and see if something changes after the election.
