BTC

No, that’s not how it works anymore. That was how it worked when BTC was more speculative and hype driven, but it’s now backed with $100B+ in assets via IBIT. Macro plays a huge role in BTC now since it’s not just some speculative asset, it’s a globally backed asset that now reacts to macro as does any volatile growth asset

The indicators with the most consistent tracking record are the boring ones: DXY, US 10y real yields, and a global liquidity aggregate (M2 or central bank balance sheets). Stablecoin supply is the endogenous one worth adding - it measures dry powder actually inside the crypto system rather than conditions outside it. The trap is treating any single correlation as structural. BTC's correlation to Nasdaq has swung between roughly 0 and 0.6 depending on the window and the regime - risk-on/risk-off phases tighten it, crypto-native cycles (halvings, ETF flows, exchange events) loosen it. A fixed "BTC follows X" rule breaks exactly when you size up on it. What worked for me: pick 2-3 indicators, fit the relationship on a rolling window, and treat the current beta as a regime reading rather than a law. When the rolling correlation snaps back toward zero, macro stops being the driver and positioning or on-chain flows take over - that regime switch is usually the more useful information.

Oh dear. A tale as old as time. Well, you can either learn your lesson and change your mindset or continue to be trapped in it. There’s a reason we regularly say “time in the market is better than timing the market” Step 1: decide on your time horizon, and stick with it. For me when I started my time horizon was 10 years. Step 2: decide if you are prepared to lump sum or DCA or both, and stick with it. Step 3: live your life. No need to check BTC price all the time.

Funding works better as a crowding gauge than as a direction signal. Strongly positive funding means longs are already packed in - by the time it reads like a signal, the move that caused it has usually happened. And it cuts both ways: extreme positive funding marks local tops about as often as continuations, because those same crowded longs become the forced sellers in a flush. On the carry math, your numbers are worth framing as a rate: $1.5/hr on 0.2 BTC is roughly 0.1% per 8 hours, which annualizes to triple digits on notional. That percentage, not the dollar figure, is the thing to track - it is the price the market charges you to hold the consensus side. The perp-spot basis moves with funding, so the two together give a cleaner positioning read than funding alone. If you keep the trade on, treat funding as a cost line with a hard annualized cap in the plan, not as a spidey sense.

lol can’t wait for everyone to create new accounts and start pumping BTC to 40k again. My family and I just keep buying daily pretty wild I know. Best of luck to everyone

colemusic1

The dollar is increasing in value, not losing it. When DXY rises, it makes it more expensive for foreign currencies to buy USD denominated assets like BTC, and when US10Y also rises in tandem with that, it makes it more attractive to funnel liquidity into bonds / less volatile assets. [This is the current reading of how much the USD is strengthening against major foreign currencies](https://imgur.com/a/lCgJCSU)

Shady8tkers

You sold at essentially the end of the bear cycle. BTC will now start its climb to a new ATH sometime around Oct 2029.

Abject-Stretch-1187

Don’t worry, BTC will go down in Oct just for you and your friends.

BTC requires a minimum 5 years horizon

This is when having a clear strategy helps. Doesn't seem like you're wanting long term. Seems like you just want a quick pump and to make some money and dip...or hope it pumps more then ride it back down. I started in crypto in 2017 and was only able to invest about 1500. BTC price when I bought was around 1k but I bought, sold, bought sold, and hopped around a bunch. If I knew then what I know now. Just buy solid assets and hold. BTC is at the top for a reason. Don't look at the price now, just know that it will be a lot higher in the future and you won't regret it. Also seems like you're investing money that you aren't willing to lose. May want to only put some into BTC and spread the rest into other investments or leave in your bank account.

colemusic1

Definitely a tiny healthy pullback, although I gotta say if the October fed rate hike does happen with a 25bps increase, we may get smashed along with all of nasdaq. Check up on the news this morning about it, it’s pretty nasty. But who knows, BTC has held through really shit macro the last couple months and could very well hold through it again

JarlBallnuts

I guess I can say that I at least didn't lose any money, but it sucks that all I have to show for 2+ years of BTC investing is a measly $2.5k. If I had just held onto it all, I would be in such a great spot right now. Could have sold that top batch at least to get rid of the weight. I could have also just sold the top batch at a loss, but I wasn't willing to throw away that much money on a gamble. Made more sense to me to break even.

colemusic1

For those wondering why today’s had a sudden smack down: [check up on DXY, US10Y and oil futures.](https://imgur.com/a/RmYMaCF) All three have soared, but **particularly DXY and US10Y.** US10Y just hit a 19 year high and we just got further reports that October may have a 25bps fed rate hike. So put simply; this isn’t just BTC related. This is global financially related. Any growth stocks / high beta assets, including BTC, are getting smacked by this and we may genuinely see a hit in October if we see macro get even more fucked up. But please don’t be that person that thinks “October dump is because of a cycle.” If it does happen, it’s because US10Y is the highest it’s been since 2007, and trust me that’s no joke.

A simple conversation with an LLM can tell you exactly what command to run in your terminal to find the information you’re looking for. One important rule: **never put your actual private keys (or even your own public address) into an LLM**. Instead, ask it to use a placeholder like \[generic address\], then substitute your own address locally when you run the command. On that note, you should NEVER type your private key or key words ever on a keyboard (unless you're spending BTC). Even if you think you're local and protected. You can pull your transactions, or all of your UTXOs (your individual BTC amounts), directly from your node. Your node maintains a highly efficient UTXO set in memory, so these lookups can be almost instantaneous. I can’t stress this enough: keep your keys and personal addresses out of the LLM. Let the LLM teach you the command, then run it yourself against your own node. Treat it as a learning experience. Once you realize how much you can inspect and verify for yourself, it’s incredibly liberating.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. A little context on why I built this. I started this app for myself. I’m also involved in Bitcoin mining, so my interests go beyond the price. None of the free or paid apps I tried offered the combination I wanted. I found the Apple Watch options particularly limited, so I decided to build my own. I learned a lot along the way, and building something I actually use has made the time worthwhile for me. As it developed, I thought some other bitcoiners might find it useful too. So I paid for a CoinGecko data plan and backend hosting, and made the app available for a small subscription fee to help cover those costs. I understand subscription fatigue. If you just want the BTC price, Stocks or a free exchange widget may already cover everything you need, and this app may be more than you need. It might be useful for people who also care about mining and network data, and who appreciate seeing those metrics at a glance, with a consistent design across their devices. It won’t be for everyone, and that’s fine. It’s something I wanted to use myself and decided to share.

labvinylsound

The broader market has been doing this all morning. It's pattern trading not indicative of the price direction of BTC itself.

AdrianRamirez0

Tech stocks print more shares through stock-based compensation and dilution. Bitcoin prints blocks, not coins. That's why 1 BTC will always remain 1/21M, while 1 share of tech stock becomes 1/infinity over time.

I smoked 4 BTC worth of good weed back then. We don’t regret it. My friends and I barely have any today lol

Proud_Dust_4698

I doubled my BTC position at $62k! I saw the signs and wasn’t going to wait for a lower bottom.

AP_lookingahead

In theory, wouldn’t every short term trader that believes BTC would go lower than $59k take a gamble and sell hoping they can buy in lower in the near future?

Beautiful_Level_3259

We’ll see. BTC has never existed through a SPY crash which is definitely possible this year/early next year. Funny how BTC can deviate above and cause everyone to believe the low is in but can’t also eventually deviate below and cause a lower low… The people that were claiming cycles don’t exist now are all talking about how we’ve broken the cycle because it now fits their narrative. MMs best option from here is a complete wipeout sometime in the next 6 months to flush out the extreme greed I’m seeing everywhere. 99.9999% of people now say up only. That’s a perfect recipe for lower.

If you’re new to crypto, I wouldn’t put the entire $1k into one altcoin. I’d start with BTC/ETH and take some time to understand how you actually want to manage the risk. One thing I’ve found useful is using data instead of relying purely on Reddit sentiment or a coin’s recent price movement. I’ve been looking at Opulence Alpha for this kind of research — it lets you compare assets/strategies using historical data, forecasts and risk analysis rather than just following a single signal. For $1k, I’d probably enter gradually rather than trying to perfectly time the market. And I’d stay away from leverage and “guaranteed 10x” type plays, especially as a beginner.

I don’t chase BTC opinions around but the only place I’ve seen any 40k talk is this sub making fun of 40k talk.

The day I wake up to a $20K green candle because the US just announced a massive BTC buy is going to be a good day.

Flashy-Potatoe-Queen

For the same reason BTC didn't launch with VCs. The passionate founding devs had a goal that its community understood.  The only difference is that BTC stopped innovating after Satoshi left, but Kaspa keeps the heading towards a p2p currency that doesn't need institutions or third parties to scale.  Today Kaspa is factually more cypherpunk than Bitcoin.

So many people hoping BTC to have that one final dip. Well, that dip was bought up by the frontrunning crowd, a.k.a the market. I'm not saying that there's no possible way for a dip or crash, just that the odds are stacked against it.

>man what would i do to go back to 2013… ...with the knowledge of today. Else, you'd have done what I did. Buy 1 BTC in 2013, forget about it till it makes the news again in 2016. Remember I had it and then sell it immediately for $200 profit thinking I was a genius.

Ha55aN1337

The rules to this sub are: 1. You don’t buy low, because BTC is dead 2. When it starts to pump, you begin thinking about buying 3. When it’s ATH you buy 4. When it drops you post WTF is happening and panic 5. You hold for 4 years and post Copium memes about why it will definitely pump next week 6. You panic sell a bit 7. When it reaches bottom you repeat step 1 8. When it starts to pump again you tell everyone “ I 1. told you so!” a 1. s you wait for the new ATH to break even from 4 years ago. 9. ? 10. 1. Never profit.

Businesses are increasingly adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets. Fidelity Digital Assets reported 49 public companies holding at least 1,000 BTC at the end of 2025, up from 22 in 2024. It identified 19 as traditional companies using corporate treasury funds to buy Bitcoin. Institutional adoption is also expanding. A 2026 Coinbase/EY-Parthenon survey found 73% of 351 institutional investors planned to increase digital-asset allocations in 2026. The shift is from Bitcoin being viewed solely as a speculative trade toward being treated as a treasury and reserve asset. For regular holders, that could mean Bitcoin increasingly becomes part of ordinary portfolio and corporate treasury infrastructure, although volatility remains.

>I predict it will go down strongly toda when the us market openings Give it up. You've been predicting it would crash now for the last two weeks. In that time BTC has surged more than 20%.

GreatBreadfruit8139

I’d separate “do I want BTC exposure?” from “can I time this exact move?” They’re different decisions. A fixed recurring amount removes a lot of the pressure to guess today’s entry. Are you thinking long-term accumulation, or are you mainly reacting to the recent move?

klitchell

Yeah but BTC experienced a stochastic vol-spike triggering a liquidity-cascade rug-flop, decoupling the moving-average convergence from its own fibonacci retracement while the order-book gamma-squeezed itself into a recursive candle-wick paradox.

TheVeloRebel

I would defo start with the gateway drug of BTC LOL BUT Having said that, if you're new, you haven't made your choices yet, old projects are evolving, new projects are evolving. I'd suggest looking into other narratives like Institutional connections, RWA (Real World Assets), Quantum Resistant projects and the other narratives like "Crypto Agility" that align with blockchains that are able to adapt over time to new protocols. Most Blockchains arent very flexible and need generations to change to the new threats, this will be a future issue IMO. Be careful with most crypto and spread risk. Perhaps try LLM's to search for these narratives to get a rather simplistic and sterile answer that's not too emotional? Look for common knowledge bytes/answers of information. Ask them to list top 5 etc and do the research. Be carfeful out there. It's very easy to be swayed by slick talkers who own projects and influencers looking for liquidity lol I own a few from the narrative of Crypto Agility, some from RWA and a few of the main staples like BTC and Eth. Learn about the tech and their history. Visit their socials and Reddits.

DanielTheTechie

>There’s no way it doesn’t retrace these levels Rookie mistake. Many people before you has gone bankrupcy after spelling out "there's no way that X doesn't do Y". Market does the unexpected more often than what people thing. And if a coin is up 3800%, there is nothing stopping it going to 5200% (even if it's in a deaccelerated way) before the retracement truly starts. In a previous message you said: >I’m revenge trading because I sold ZEC at $350 At the moment of selling, did you also think "there's no way it pumps to 10x in three months"? And yet, the market did it. Here is my unsolicited advice: find an actual trading strategy and a time horizon in which you are most comfortable working, stick to it, follow its signals religiously and stick to set some risk management rules for yourself (e.g. how much % of your account can you risk per trade and how much % of your account can you lose before completely stopping to trade for that month). Revenge trading makes you feel relieved while it goes well, but when it doesn't (and it's a matter of time that it doesn't), expect to lose a lot more than what you earned previously, that without mentioning the persistent psychological pressure and the ego drop when you feel forced to sell low because you can't afford anymore the pain of seeing your account bleeding day after day. >I also don’t believe this bull rally Do you even have some definition or what conditions must satisfy a "bull rally" so that you consider it's a true bull rally? If not, you are gambling. Again, stick to a backtested strategy for at least 30 trades (you can use smaller amounts of money while you are not confident about it yet), journal them (you can something as simple as Excel), and later compute your ROI average. If it's positive, you will have already found an edge that is more reliable than your beliefs and impulses, and given your messages here, it shouldn't be hard to find it. Personally I have two accounts: one for investing and another one for trading. For multi-month/year investing, the safest time for buying crypto was when BTC's price contacted the weekly EMA200. The second best time is... nobody knows, but now it's probably safer than next month. Personally I would just wait for a daily red candle in BTC to be closed, and then, buy your favourite altcoins, set a realistic take profit price beforehand (don't do the silly thing of "I will just sell when I believe it's already on the top or when my favourite cryptobro asks me to do so"), and don't login again until BTC reaches its previous ATH, so you avoid the "revenge investing", the "I will sell this because it's down 10% and I'm scared" and those shits. And with your mind in peace knowing that you are already invested in crypto, you can do your trading in parallel or (even better) in a separated account.

BILLYBUTCHER_2

I think the Mt Gox payout is through, not? We had an option to get a lump sum payment or two payments because some company claimed to have huge reserves on Mt. Gox that would've changed the payout for everyone. In the end 3.4 BTC turned to 0.5 BTC but by the time it was payed out the 0.5 was worth a lot more than the 3.4 BTC originally on the exchange.

kallaloostx

It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things because quibbling over when to get in is futile. People just need to get in. In a few years $86k will be the $30k of 2021. If BTC dips to $50 or 60k next month, what does it really matter?

Funding fee is simply a basis compensation between a coin and its perpetual futures, meaning, if the futures is more expensive than the spot, long holders will pay to short holders an amount to compensate for that, and vice versa. This is done so that the prices of the two instruments never diverge too much. If in your example the futures price was flat, but the funding rate started to increase, it actually means that the price of BTC started dropping. Could that be a reliable sign of an upcoming pump? — you decide.

DanielTheTechie

A bull market doesn't mean that you go from the lowest to the highest price in a straight line. There are bearish retracements along the way. Conversely, in bear markets there are bullish retracements too (e.g. April 2026, where BTC went up 18% before falling a 26% during the following two months).

TheresNoSecondBest

It looks like coinglass takes the USD inflow information (999,000,000) and converts the number to BTC. And for some reason, they used the exchange rate at $81,153, a number we were at last week. I honestly don't see into ETFs that much, but they would have to buy the bitcoin ever the weekend the latest to get such exchange rate.

Iapetus404

When you say "the Internet," you mean the servers and www. There is no problem because BTC it is decentralized. The miners can take control of notes by the net....like the Web 1.0 in 80s And that we want, to make the Web 3

Inflation is not likely to never-ever going to fall....so BTC will likely continue to climb Both curves are in sync

DiamondHandsDarrell

I have it and coin base one I earn 4%b back on the first 10k, the unlimited 2% after 10k. Since I've had it (I think almost a year now) I have .05245 BTC earned. Not bad, that's about $4,081 with $473 (11.6%) Then on top of that, I'm holding some cash in USDC which currently pays 3.75% of which I get paid in BTC. That's about $3,500 so far. The biggest trick is to pay it off monthly. And then for me, I make my biggest quarterly expenses with it so even though there's 2% fee to pay with it, getting back $200 in BTC makes it worth it

GrokM14232

$82K tells me less than what happens to real yields and the dollar over the next few Fed meetings. BTC can clear every price level on that list and still get hit if rate expectations reprice higher and liquidity tightens. Fwiw, I’d watch spot ETF flows alongside Treasury yields before calling the bear dead.

KidAmulet

Let's you and me come back to this comment in August 2027, when BTC is only up 3x (from $85k), and the others are up 6 to 10x and have much more adoption and use cases (which is already true). BTC legitimized the industry. It's work is done. Once the market realizes there are better digital assets, the crypto industry will be a lot better off and no longer a slave to BTC price action. Good thing is the decoupling already started this year with HYPE, ZEC, VVV, and NEAR price action while BTC was in a bear market.

Keep stacking sats. At BTC being a million, a sat is now worth a penny equivalent. I mine 4500 sats a day right now for kicks and giggles on my phone, some day that’s going to be 45 bucks a day equivalent without me having done anything.

MiaTaude589

Honestly, calling the bear dead at $82k feels a bit early? I still hold BTC, but those four price levels aren’t much of a roadmap for what happens if it turns around. I’d rather check that my coins are off the exchange and leave the victory speech for later

MiaTaude589

Yeah, it’s a meme, but Bitcoin does run on math: signatures prove you can spend your BTC, and mining uses hashes to make new blocks hard to produce. You don’t need to do any of that math yourself to use it though, thankfully

KidAmulet

I'd do: ETH: 30% SOL: 30% ZEC: 30% - Will outperform ETH, SOL and BTC. BTC: 10% - ZEC implosion insurance BTC's heyday is over. The others are better blockchains, and BTC will start having returns comparable to mag 7, so why take the extra risk?

Dmarine999

I'm keeping my BTC on Coinbase for the near future. I feel like there will be more incidents like this. I'll roll the dice on Coinbase's security vs self-custody/trusting random hardware providers. I'm sure I'll get a ton of downvotes, but, I don't care.

On the whole, that's a decent strategy. The main thing you want to have in any selling strategy is to sell chunks when the price is high. And having a simple rule to follow is a good way of doing it. It can actually be smarter to have a simple, slightly less than optimal rule that you can easily follow. A couple suggestions: 1. You might want to adopt a little more of a ladder strategy. Basically, let the sell trigger go up as you sell. Suppose you buy an asset at $1000. Maybe sell some (fixed percentage) when your holdings reach $1500, and then some more when your remaining holdings reach $1800, etc. You can set the first triggers below what you currently use as triggers and later triggers above. This can be preferable in both directions. You are more likely to have sold proportion of your holdings profitably even if the bull run is disappointing for the asset. But you are also likely to have greater exposure for big wins if the asset really takes off. 2. Don't automatically treat all assets the same. Compare BTC with a speculative altcoin. The speculative altcoin is more likely to go up many multiples, but it is also more likely to crash to nothing, and you probably want to avoid being stuck holding the bag if you don't end up selling a lot. Something like stop-loss orders can be great for that. Including as a way of taking profits. Suppose you are doing pretty well on a speculative asset and it doubled in value. Continue to ladder out but set a rule so you sell everything if it falls back to 1.5x it's orginal price. That way you guarantee yourself decent profits while keeping your exposure to big gains. (Of course it's not foolproof. The time this strategy would perform worst relative to alternatives if the asset crashed to 1.4x and then shot up to 5x.)

I don’t know if “this is good for bitcoin” works if we get hit by a recession. Every economic crises we had, downturn, correction, the Covid crash, and the brief technical recession in 2022, got everyone running away from high risk assets like Bitcoin, and BTC took a big hit each time.

It seems you're mainly just focused on price. Let's look at it a different way. Let's say 20 years from now, the BTC network is still running strong. Still with over 99% uptime and no hacks or major vulnerability that would compromise the network. Still with a predictable supply emission and everything is fundamentally sound. Would that make it more or less valuable? That's the main thing I'm getting at here.

Coleyx123

Like I said, I don't know who he is (I don't think). But I'm with you 100% on mindset. Too many people want to emulate others without being in their shoes, and unfortunately haven't developed their own mindset. What works for me may not for you, or vise versa, and that's cool. You've got to know yourself first, or else you're setting yourself up for failure. I think a lot of people screw themselves by not sticking to "their" method, and just do what a whale does, because he's got to know what he's doing. But unless you're a whale, you can't take the same long-term risk, nor do all whales even have a clue what they're doing. Had I started with BTC when I first learned it existed, I'd be set because I'd have been mining some of the first blocks and be loaded, while still not knowing shit about trading. Gotta have a method and stick to it, but most importantly, don't give into the fear.

Imo the only adoption that matters is when JPM etc automatically allocate 1-3% of all their client portfolios to BTC ETFs. Once that happens we’ll reach hyperbitcoinisation and tens of millions of dollars per coin over the following years.

maybe they finally get it. maybe they don’t. regardless of this, i will continue to keep my head down and wallet open. few everyday folks currently understand money, let alone Bitcoin. yet the price of BTC is where it is today. we have barely scraped the surface on the path to global adoption. the facts are hidden underneath the noise, and the majority of the world listens to the noise because the facts seem too far fetched to be real — until it isn’t.

\*Laughs in farmed all my coins before they changed how to farm them with a few PC's and laptops, around the clock for over a year, when BTC first launched\*

Harvest plan is based on gains above each asset’s cost basis: • BTC: trim once it reaches +75% over cost basis • ETH: trim at +60% over cost basis • SOL: trim at +40% over cost basis I’m only harvesting part of the gain, not touching the original principal, and the harvested money goes to taxes first, then into a diversified managed portfolio. What am I missing? Where would you poke holes in this strategy? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Did you know about BTC in 2011? And you would have sold way before now

100% I'm in BTC since 2017 and only now I am doing this correcly

Back in April 2020, BCH was around $200 with bch's halving coming up first and btc was around 5k. So ratio 0.04. BCH shills were shouting hoarse how it was obvious that BCH had a better 10x potential while BTC doing that was pure hopium (remember the context when toilet paper was considered of more value by some than BTC because of lockdown). The ratio went from 0.04 to 0.002. Now with this latest pump, the shills will come out with the same pitch as last time, just with different numbers.

I lump summed then started to DCA right during ATH last year. I was in the red all year but now I’ve gained everything back plus some and will continue to DCA. I have been following bitcoin forever but never bought in until recently, because BTC has now basically proven it will always in the end keep going up. 57k is the last lowest bottom I fear. But that’s not actually a bad thing, but man I hoped it would go to 20 (cause then slingshot signals would be crazy, even more crazy than the Covid slingshot) I 100% believe BTC will hit 1 mill and beyond, but not for a VERY long time. I thought it would come sooner, especially if BTC dipped below 50, but now I’m thinking itll be more like 10-15 years to do so rather than 5-10.

You’re talking bullshit. The BTC-only version has its own clean firmware. But keep talking shit dude, karma will bite you in the butt soon enough.

That’s the question everyone asking into crypto currencies. I don’t have an legit answer but I think BTC is the digital gold itself. Any attempt through tokenism. BTC will go up doesn’t matter what are the conditions. And either governments that they print money without asking me has the power on it or corporations same thing different color. But at least I can move my money faster, at least I can get into it earlier and leave something to my kids

Honestly, just buy BTC.

Bruh I’ve been here since 2017. Zoom out on the chart. BTC going to get punished in the future. Still got my bag, I’m just saying. Everyone else (even Cowen) can suck it. I’ve been through too many crypto winters at this point that I’ve already embraced the coming drop.

Feels like this market is doing a great job punishing anyone who needs immediate confirmation. Bulls want the breakout yesterday and bears keep waiting for the perfect flush. Meanwhile BTC just keeps grinding through both narratives. Moon has been pretty useful for seeing how divided the sentiment still is.

The interesting part to me is how little BTC seems to care about headlines that would have caused absolute chaos a few cycles ago. Everyone is trying to front run the Fed and regulation at the same time, but price is basically forcing both sides to stay uncomfortable. Been seeing the same split in the Bitcoin chatter showing up on Moon lately.
