π¨BULL BASE CASE UPDATE (exclusive analysis by @bullcase) Bitcoin has closed 100 days above $100K, supported by $16bn inflows into spot ETFs since May. Saturday the 200DMA reached $100K for the first time.
Strategic ETH reserves by corporate entities have added more than 3M ETH to their treasuries (over 80% of which added since July). Eth's MVRV has moved above 2. In previous bulls Eth's MVRV always spent at least 1 year above 2.
BTC.d's break of the 50 weekly MA was confirmed in last week's close.
These important structural changes have been driven by institutional activity and the inflation hedge trade.
Smart money has been slowly moving down the risk curve but retail activity, as shown by the Coinbase Appstore rank, remains muted.
We believe in the next few months (Q425-Q126) markets will stay anchored in the pre-retail phase, defined by dev activity, new listings & institutional adoption.
We expect cycle peak in early 2026 (Q1-Q2).
Bet moar and BTFD!

π¨Fed minutes: a majority of participants judged the upside risk to inflation as the greater of these two risks, while several participants viewed the two risks as roughly balanced, and a couple of participants considered downside risk to employment the more salient risk.
These Fed minutes were a couple of days before the huge deterioration in the labor market report and major revisions downward for the prior two months.

π¨Goldman Sachs: We do not expect Powell to decisively signal a September cut, but the speech should make it clear to markets that he is likely to support one.
We expect Powell to modify his statement from the July FOMC press conference that the FOMC is "well positioned" to wait for more information. Instead, he might note that the FOMC is well positioned to address risks to both sides of its mandate but emphasize that downside risks to the labor market have grown following the July employment report, while reiterating that tariffs are likely to have only a one-time effect on the price level.
