We're seeing a spike in activity by new participants coming into BTC not yet reflected in price, it doesn't happen often. This is what traders call a divergence, in this case it's obviously bullish.
We're seeing another impulse of coins changing hands completing.
My interpretation is that the last pulse was take profit, halting the downward move; this impulse should be the one that drives us upwards.
The other interpretation is it's an impulse to push us downwards, but that seems unlikely given OBV (an indicator looking at volume movements) is showing quiet accumulation is taking place.
Short term traders should exercise caution as there's a gap of lowish spot market liquidity down to $10k. If we go there, I expect that to be snapped up quickly like the other times we tested the price bottom (see candle wicks every time we went sub 10k)
Zooming out to the 3 month time frame, the difficulty ribbon has completed a compression and has started a healthy expansion signalling a bullish run to come.
Overall: bullish the next 3 weeks, also bullish over next 3 months.
IMO a good time to build a long term multi-month long position, or deploy new capital if you're thinking to increase BTC exposure.

How can $MSTR possibly trade at 2.7x their BTC treasury?
I suspect we are seeing the start of $5-10b of inflows in anticipation of a SP500 listing right now.
If true, then it's still warming up.
Consider 20-30% of the SP500's $50T marketcap comes from passive index tracking funds and ETFs.
Inclusion into the SP500 means MSTR gets a chunk of that money.
Inflow estimates:
$10-15b from passive index tracker funds
$5-10b additional from speculative inflows
When would it happen?
FASB accounting practices go live for MSTR on 1st Jan 2025, that's a prerequisite before a listing can take place. After that MSTR will meet most of the requirements, with the last requirement being a committee decision.
Until the start of Aug, we've been in a bearish stance with an influx of 100k coins (Germany, MtGox, DOJ) while speculation has been rife creating more paper BTC.
The price crash during the start of Aug flushed out much of the paper with a nice round of liquidations... open interest got wiped.
That's a healthy reset of open value (paper bets). It's really hard for BTC to climb when there's overheated speculation in the market.
This mid-June assessment is still in play.
BTC price action needs to get really boring.
I feel like we are 66% the way there. Much of the speculation has left, we still need more of the spot BTC to be absorbed.
Here's the 5 macro signals I'm looking closely at right now for #Bitcoin.
3 bullish, 2 bearish...
Miners capitulation is over, it's one of the most reliable bullish indicators.
Hash rate is recovering, the price and hash rate bottom coincided with upgrades to next gen hardware hitting the network.
M66s went live last week.
S21 Pros this week.
Hash rate set to scream.
Miner capitulation is a very responsive indicator. The breakout was preluded with hash rate recovery; price responded within a day. I gave early warning of this.
When it kicks in we normally have months of bullishness.
