@lemondotfun That’s the part people skip.
EVM is everywhere. 27M funded users isn’t.
You don’t rebuild wallets and infra. You point existing tools at a retail pipe that already exists.
Nobody is bullish enough on #RobinhoodChain
27M+ funded users
tokenized stocks
memes
full EVM
Distribution + almost zero retail friction.
That’s the whole game.
They’re not adopting Bitcoin. They’re trying to keep the settlement rail so the unit of account stays theirs.
Onchain central bank money is still their money. Different database.
If the pitch is “we had to, because blockchain,” that tells you who they think is winning the rail. Not the asset.
5/ Structure
Supply is $80–82k. Rejected twice this week. Weekly 50 SMA sits right on that wall.
That zone is the line. Break it and hold = weekly CHOCH. Reclaim the weekly 50 SMA and the “this was the bottom” thesis actually starts carrying weight.
Lose $76k and the first real bid is mid-$72k (FVG), then the infamous golden pocket around $70k.
Hold $76.5–77k → this is a normal post-squeeze cooldown.
For now OI came off. Vol compressed after the speech. That’s not a new downtrend. That’s the market taking risk off into the weekend.
1/ WEEK IN #BITCOIN
This was not a “crypto week.”
This was a liquidity week that Bitcoin rode, then got slapped by the Fed.
Range: ~$76.7k → $81.5k
High of the week was the first print above $81k since mid-May.
Then Warsh spoke and the bid disappeared.
4/ Flows, this is the part that matters
US spot Bitcoin ETFs:
9 straight inflow days from Aug 17–27 (~$3.0B)
Aug month-to-date still ~+$3.3B
Friday Aug 28: first outflow of the streak, –$202M
That’s not “institutions abandoned Bitcoin.”
That’s: they bought the entire rip, then paused when the Fed sounded hawkish into a $6.4B options expiry.
ETF average cost is still up around $84k.
They are not chasing $81k. They are underwater on the book and they used this week to add into strength, not into a top they believe in.
4H #BTC
Not a confirmed lower high yet. Just cautious.
Price higher high, RSI lower high: Bearish divergence. Not “healthy pullback” hopium.
Sitting on the lower rail of the rising channel.
BTC history on this signal: ~52% wins. Profit factor near 1. Coin flip. Strong trends steamroll it.
Warning, not a trigger. Watch structure.
Trade the tape!
@glxyresearch Move isn’t sell.
Most of these old wakes still aren’t hitting known exchanges.
Treat “awakened” as a headline until you see distribution.
Quiet Saturday. That’s the product.
No commute. Nobody asking if I can take the afternoon. Desk if I want it, not if a calendar says so.
This isn’t a flex. It’s what trading skill plus self-custody actually buys: time that isn’t leased.
You can get here. Learn the work. Keep the keys. Stop waiting for permission. That’s it.
@WuBlockchain Of course the BIS doesn’t like privately issued dollars. That’s the job.
Stablecoins are a trading rail. Bitcoin is the exit. Don’t confuse the two because a central banker gave a speech.
@Cointelegraph M2 printing records while the Fed lectures about inflation still being too high.
That’s the whole trade in one sentence. Bitcoin doesn’t need the speech. It needs the dilution to keep showing up in the data.
#BTC 4h.
Ripped 63k → 81.5k.
Just tapped the first real demand after that move.
Small bounce, sellers got absorbed.
Next candles decide it. Hold this zone → 82 is back on the table. Lose it with conviction → 74k next.
@BitcoinMagazine@jimferraioli When a big broker names the trade, retail is usually late to the table.
Debasement is not a new idea. It’s why some of us sized Bitcoin before the brochure existed.
Banks describing the trade is confirmation, not an entry signal.
