At this point, I don’t know if this is a financial revolution or a revolution in mental illness. Looking at the Bitcoin price action yesterday was akin to watching an asylum patient run back and forth, bouncing off the room’s padded walls. 

Wish I could say all this ends soon, but we’re more likely staying in the asylum well into September. All in all, this is your annual reminder to step away from the markets during the summer—you’re not missing much.

However! We’ve got another green sign on the ETH side, confirming yesterday’s strength seen in the ETH/BTC chart. Since last week, we’ve finally seen ETH ETF flows turn positive, led by BlackRock.

Speaking of, BlackRock is currently rumored to launch its own ETH layer 2. Now, if this doesn’t resurrect ETH and DeFi from the limbo, nothing will.

For me, the main thing $BTC needs to do here is reclaim the bull/bear pivot that is the 200-day MA (blue line). See red circles for the last reclaims, which clearly define the price action pre-bull breakout last year and again last month. 

We’ve already reclaimed $57k—ideally, this holds as support now. It's no bueno if we go back down to test $52k again. This consolidation has a history of making lower lows, and it’s a long way down to the next level at $43k. On the hopium side, liquidity is coming back slowly, and we have an election in November to juice the economy.
