About this episode

The episode discusses Bitcoin's current market situation, the potential head fake of the altcoin rally, and various macroeconomic risks.

Bitcoin is stuck in a quiet range, but the signals are getting louder. Mike and Ryan break down why the mini altcoin rally may be a head fake, what realized losses suggest about Bitcoin’s unfinished pain, why ETF outflows and Saylor’s bond move matter, and the macro risks that could force another leg lower. ---- 📣GALAXY | INSTITUTIONAL DIGITAL FINANCE https://bankless.cc/Galaxy ---- 🎯THE DEFI REPORT | FOLLOW & SUBSCRIBE https://thedefireport.cc/tdr-rss https://thedefireport.transistor.fm/ https://x.com/the_defi_report https://x.com/JustDeauIt ---- TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 3:46 Altcoin Hype or Head Fake? 13:06 Measuring Bitcoin Bear Market Pain 22:50 ETF Outflows & Whale Selling 29:25 Iran, Inflation, & Macro Risks 37:35 Bitcoin Levels and Summer Positioning 42:55 Closing & Disclaimers ---- Not financial or tax advice.
