On Bitcoin

Changed since their last video: weeks moved waiting to up.

  • Next weeks (next 2–6 weeks): Leans up (timeframe is our reading): Bitcoin sort of continues to show strength, maybe it cools off a little bit and then shows strength again going into into the midterms ▶ 05:22 The call was open until 20 Nov 2026, against 84.5k when said.

If this, then that

  • If Multiple weekly closes below 83K would give the bears some semblance of control; until then the status quo is unchanged, then no target given (next weeks): they have held above 83K, and until you get multiple weekly closes below it, then I think the status quo simply remains unchanged ▶ 00:59

Levels named

  • 83k: Support (Line the bulls need to defend; it is where the prior May high was): One of the sort of the line in the sand that we talked about is 83K as the line that the the bulls need to defend ▶ 00:26
  • 81.7k: Support (Bitcoin is bouncing off the 50-day moving average): 50-day moving average is currently at around 81.7 or so ▶ 01:20

Their own position: Not said.

Dates named

  • FOMC meeting, undated: arguably, the next major catalyst will be FOMC, which is about a week from now.
  • US midterm elections, undated: maybe it cools off a little bit and then shows strength again going into into the midterms
