1/  We've reached a critical inflection point in bitcoin's adoption curve.

A moment wholly unique in the history of markets.

Are you ready for what comes next? 👇

#Bitcoin
2/ A perfect storm of demand dynamics is driving #Bitcoin price.

I think something shifted in the market -- and active investors & traders would do well to adjust their mindset.
3/ After years asleep at the wheel, institutional leaders are now jarred awake, en masse.

If they want this asset: they'll have to hustle, compete with the masses and FOMO in above ATH's.

Against a backdrop of scarcity unlike anything they've ever seen.
4/ They will buy *all* dips.

Their bots will not stop buying.

There isn't enough supply for all of them, and they know it.
5/ And the whales who accumulated much lower?

How much appetite will strong hands have to market sell, just to run stops?

In the opening hours of the greatest bull market of their lives.

In a liquidity crisis.
6/ This is why the halvening was never priced in.

This is why I think #Bitcoin goes to $35k-$40k, before a shakeout much worse than anything we've seen so far.

I’m not saying we teleport to $40k instantly.

Just small gains, pretty much every day, for many weeks.
7/ I could be wrong about this -- that's certainly happened before.

But this scenario would not be unprecedented:

This same thing happened in 2017, when #BTC broke previous ATHs after multiple tries.
8/  If you feel like you don't have enough exposure:

*Don't* throw risk mgmt out the window -- because we can't know for sure if I'm right.

Buy gradually -- on small pullbacks, at the weekly TWAP, BTC's time-weighted average price.

9/  Free tradingview indicator for checking TWAP:

10/  How will you know when we're approaching the local top?

I will look to two metrics:

(and neither one is funding -- funding will be useless if this scenario plays out).
11/ The first is Short Term Holder MVRV, from @glassnode.

I consider this the alpha metric on-chain for finding local #BTC tops.

I want to see STH-MVRV print above a 1.5, then make lowers lows.
12/ The second is Whale Exchange Ratio.

On Gemini exchange: this metric was never wrong in 2020.

Gemini whales are #Bitcoin 's secret bellweather.

13/ I'll be watching closely to see how all this plays out.

And regardless of the result - I feel grateful.

After enduring the long crypto winter, we're finally here at the beginning of something special. 👊

1/ How do you find bleeding edge leading indicators for crypto markets?

I’ll show you an amazing new platform that I'm loving 👇

#Bitcoin
2/ Cryptoquant integrates advanced on-chain analytics into Tradingview, for the very first time.

Why this is such a big deal?

To understand that, you have to grok on-chain analytics’s meta game.
3/ Analytics on-chain is a cross-discipline science:

It’s an arena where technical analysis works on fundamental data. And fundamental sentiment data.

Your first instinct might be to think that couldn't work.

But it does.

1/ Quick roundup of what I’m seeing as #Bitcoin consolidates below its last major resistance 👇
2/ Funding remains amazingly neutral - negative.

🔥 Bullish $BTC
3/ #BTC’s correlation to traditional markets appears to be unwinding.

If this persists in the coming weeks, it’ll be the biggest story in crypto.

🔥 Bullish $BTC

1/ New #bitcoin addresses were absolutely off the charts last week.

The backstory is bullish and intriguing — a unique view on a new bull market catalyst.

I’m about to break this down 👇

#BTC
2/ First: volume precedes price.

And #bitcoin active address counts are an OG on-chain leading indicator of volume.

3/ We typically see 5-10k new #bitcoin addresses / day.

That figure grew it its highest level in over two years last week, peaking above 22k.

Chainlink Weapons Arsenal /a thread

1/ Chainlink broke its all time highs yesterday. And it just keeps going higher.

I think we're seeing a full blown parabolic advance.

Image
2/ This shouldn't come as a big surprise if you've followed me for awhile.

I said I was expecting this two months ago.

3/ marines have plenty to celebrate. 🍻

Some will hodl for the longterm — a fine strategy early in a bull market.

But parabolas almost always end in a deep retrace — so let’s talk about how I plan on strategically selling.

(We can always rebuy lower, at a discount). Image

1/ I am massively bullish on #Bitcoin, but I think the next big move is likely down.

@glassnode just reported the largest $BTC transfer from miners to exchanges in over a year.
2/ And CME commitment of traders shows institutions are massively net short $BTC, and have been for many weeks.

They've only been this net short once before: the last time $BTC hovered around this same price.
3/ Bitfinex whale's buywall is eroding, and hasn't been replenished yet.

And those $BTC transfers from miners to exchanges...they went to Bitfinex.

The Big Picture /a thread

Last year Ray Dalio (most successful hedge fund manager alive) said we'd reached the end of a debt supercycle.

Supercycles last 50-100 years.

The last one ended in 1929.

2/ That was the macro context going in to 2020.

What does Dalio think now?

3/ The data does seem to paint a specific picture.
