$BTC just ripped 22% in a week back to $80k. ETF inflows are relentless, shorts got liquidated hard.

Bulls are celebrating cost basis reclaim + hodler strength. Bears point to hot futures vs cold spot—classic divergence.

But both sides might be missing the real alpha: 2026 midterm election cycle. History says pre-election dip → post-election rip.

$80k isn't the top. It's a checkpoint. Real price discovery happens in November when votes get counted.

The setup is there. Don't fade the cycle.
