Bitcoin Bull Market Intact Despite Government Shutdown Concerns 🎯
Just analyzed the macro setup and here's what's shaping up for Bitcoin and digital assets:
The Government Shutdown Wild Card πŸ›οΈ
Polymarket is currently betting the shutdown won't end until mid-November πŸ“….
While this adds a layer of uncertainty to markets, it's actually setting up an interesting dynamic for Bitcoin. Once this uncertainty clears, we could see risk assets catch a bid again πŸš€.
The Global Money Printer is Warming Up πŸ’Έ
Here's the real story that matters for us in DeFi - over the next 6-18 months, every major central bank has no choice but to print:
β€’ The Fed πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ - Will continue monetizing deficit spending (as they have since 2008)
β€’ ECB πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί - Same playbook in Europe
β€’ PBoC πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ - China's already ramping up stimulus
β€’ Bank of Japan πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ - New PM talking about social programs = more deficit spending = more printing
Japan's situation is particularly interesting πŸ‘€.
The BoJ already owns half their bond market (!), and with their new leadership pushing for more spending, the yen carry trade could become even more profitable. Translation: Traders borrow cheap yen β†’ buy Bitcoin πŸ’Ή.
Bitcoin Technical Setup πŸ“Š
The correction from $126k to $110k hasn't broken the bull market structure:
  • Critical support at 50-week MA held perfectly βœ… during the recent test
  • Even the flash crash to $102k couldn't break the uptrend πŸ’ͺ
  • Pattern remains intact for a move back above $126k πŸ“ˆ
My take: I'm a buyer at these levels πŸ›’. Would need to see the 50-week MA decisively broken to turn bearish, and we're nowhere near that.
ETH vs BTC Allocation βš–οΈ
While ETH is sitting at trend line support with its 50-week MA, the pattern isn't as clean as Bitcoin's. If I had to pick one asset for allocation right now, it's BTC all day πŸ₯‡.
That said, when Bitcoin eventually breaks to new ATHs above $126k, it'll pull the entire altcoin complex higher with it 🌊. That's when we'd likely see Bitcoin dominance roll over and alts outperform πŸ”„.
The Bottom Line 🎯
The macro setup is clear: Central banks globally have no option but to debase their currencies πŸ–¨οΈ. In this environment, Bitcoin's trajectory over the next 2, 6, 12, and 18 months is UP ⬆️.
The bull market structure remains intact. Use any dips toward that 50-week MA as gift entries 🎁.
What's your take on the current setup? Anyone else positioning for the next leg higher? πŸ’­
