Bitcoin’s Catch-Up? Seriously?

by

Okay, so apparently Bitcoin is lagging. Lagging! Like it’s stuck in traffic behind gold and the S&P 500. Gold’s up 9%, the S&P’s up 1%… and Bitcoin? Down 20%! Twenty percent! At $88,000. Can you believe it? Eighty-eight thousand for…less? It’s a disaster. 🤦‍♂️ Like I need another thing to worry about.

Whale Shenanigans

And naturally, it’s the whales. Always the whales. The little guys were buying, which is… endearing, I guess? A little pathetic, honestly. But the big guys? Selling! They pushed it up, took their profits and then bailed. Classic. You’d think they’d have some loyalty. Some communal spirit!

They say when the big guys start buying, then things might change. But it’s not happening yet. It’s like waiting for Godot. Except Godot is a market correction. 😩

The correlation between Bitcoin & crypto compared to other major sectors is still lagging behind. Since November began, price performances are:

Gold: +9%
S&P 500: +1%
Bitcoin: -20%

Heading to 2026, there will remain an opportunity for crypto to play “catch up”.

Mixed Signals, Wonderful. Just Wonderful.

Supposedly, things are “stabilizing.” Stabilizing?! That’s what they always say right before it goes down further. Long-term holders are pausing their selling, which is…fine. But active addresses are up, but transactions are down? So more people are looking, but nobody’s actually doing anything? It’s a spectator sport! 🙄

Experts Weigh In (As If They Know)

This Garrett Jin character – apparently he used to run some exchange – says money just goes where the opportunities are. Brilliant. Groundbreaking. I hadn’t considered that. And of course, “sell high, buy low.” It’s like, no kidding! You’re a genius. 😒

Another analyst, CyrilXBT…sounds like a robot. Says we’re in a “late-cycle positioning.” What does that even mean? Before a rotation? A rotation of what? My patience? Definitely my patience.

Bitcoin right now continues to look just like the 2016-2017 period, just before a parabolic move.

These two setups continue to flash in our mind due to the extreme similarities and bullish signals are even holding & flashing here too.$BTC‘s looking ready to absolutely GO …

Predictions, Predictions…

So, this Javon Marks guy thinks it’s gonna go to $125K. $125,000! And CoinCodex? They say $91,500 by January 30th. A measly 3.68% increase. Look, can’t we just pick a number and be done with it? It’s all just guesswork anyway.

And the “Fear & Greed Index?” Extreme Fear. Shocking. Absolutely shocking. It feels appropriate. 🤷

They want you to watch the whales and the transactions. But honestly, I’m just waiting for it all to settle down so I can get back to my life. And possibly re-evaluate all my life choices.
