After multiple requests from some followers, I’ve decided to open something private.
What I share publicly is only a fraction of the full picture. The market is a game of liquidity, timing, and understanding. Most people always arrive… too late.
Today, I’m officially opening The Alpha Board, a private group built for those who want to see the move before it happens, not after.
Inside, you’ll get: • Advanced market analysis ($BTC , Stocks, macro) • Key liquidity zones & forward scenarios • Smart money flow breakdowns • Clear market structure insights • Direct access + a serious community
This is NOT a signals group. This is where you build a real edge. If you’re tired of: - following the crowd - entering too late - not understanding why the market moves
Then this is exactly for you. Founder one-time access: $39 Limited spots available

The market doesn’t reward the fastest. It rewards the most prepared.
Here's a rough visualization of how I see the most likely scenarios playing out. If you average them, you'll get a feel for the broad concept I have. I can absolutely be wrong, but it's my take on things currently.
Note that I give the diagonal (dotted) trend lines some importance in controlling the price movements as well as the horizontal support levels.
This falls in alignment with my other post on the odds I give these Bitcoin scenarios.
The HODL Waves are showing an important shift in market structure.
Since the 2025 peak, the percentage of BTC held by younger cohorts has been declining, while older supply bands are gradually expanding.
This means fewer coins are changing hands and more BTC is migrating into longer holding periods.
Historically, this transition has often appeared during the later stages of major corrections and accumulation phases.
There is another important detail.
During euphoric periods, old coins tend to wake up, move on chain and progressively migrate into younger age bands as experienced holders distribute into new demand.
We are now seeing the opposite process.
Young supply is contracting. Older supply is rebuilding. Dormant Bitcoin is increasing again.
This does not confirm the exact market bottom, but it suggests that the supply structure is gradually becoming healthier as speculative activity is removed from the market.
The longer Bitcoin remains in this environment, the more supply can migrate from weak hands toward stronger holders.
Price can remain bearish while the underlying supply structure quietly improves.
NEW: Pokémon cards have outperformed both the S&P 500 and $BTC year-to-date, and a new class of blockchain platforms is betting tokenization can modernize a $13 - 15B collectibles market.
Ethereum is entering a historically interesting valuation zone.
Two major long term metrics have now moved into negative territory:
🔴 MVRV Z Score: -0.14 ETH is trading at a deeply compressed valuation relative to its realized value. Historically, negative MVRV Z Score readings have appeared during periods of significant market stress and attractive long term valuation.
🔴 Delta Growth Rate: -0.07 This metric compares the growth of Market Cap with the growth of Realized Cap over a 365 day average.
When it turns negative, Realized Cap is growing stronger relative to market valuation, suggesting that on chain value accumulation is outperforming speculative price appreciation. And this is where things get interesting.
Both metrics are now negative at the same time.
Historically, similar conditions have been much more associated with accumulation and undervaluation than with market euphoria.
This does not mean $ETH has already reached its final bottom.
But beneath the price weakness, Ethereum's valuation structure is becoming increasingly attractive.
The market is still bearish. The fundamentals of valuation are starting to tell a different story.
JAPAN IS TRAPPED AND EVERY OPTION MAKES IT EVEN WORSE
Japan spent roughly $88 billion in two days defending the yen. USD/JPY hit 155.2, and it is already back above 159.
That $88 Billion intervention bought them just three days.
Bond yields are making it even worse.
The 2-year and 5-year both hit 31-year Highs.
Weak currency + high bond yields is a problem no country can afford.
A weak yen makes every import more expensive, and Japan buys almost all its energy in dollars. Rising yields make borrowing more expensive for every Japanese business at the same time.
It gets worse for the financial system. Japan's four largest insurers are already sitting on ¥14.5 trillion in unrealised bond losses, roughly $91 billion.
Every rise in yields makes that number bigger.
Now the BOJ looks set to hike in September.
Reuters reported yesterday that at least three of nine board members argued for faster rate increases at the July meeting.
Sources say the intervention and pressure from Bessent have all but locked in a September move.
A hike pushes Japanese yields higher still, which deepens the losses on bonds already held and raises borrowing costs further.
And there is a second much worse effect.
Higher Japanese yields narrow the gap between US and Japanese rates. That gap is what makes the yen carry trade profitable.
Traders borrow yen cheaply and buy higher-yielding assets abroad.
Narrow the gap and the trade stops working. Positions get closed, and closing them means selling.
Every direction the BOJ turns creates a new problem somewhere else. Credit: Bull theory
$BTC selling pressure remains strong. Price is back near 64K as Spot CVD trends lower and Coinbase Premium sits at -0.12%, while OI keeps rising. Falling price + rising OI points to fresh shorts entering. Unless BTC reclaims 64K, downside pressure may persist
$64,262. That is the average price at which Strategy sold $BTC last week. Its average purchase price was $75,385. That means it sold at a loss of roughly 15% a deliberate decision, not a sudden necessity.
The entire $108.6 million in proceeds from the sale went toward buying STRC preferred shares from the market.
A share with a $100 face value, trading near $95.50.
For years, the formula was simple: The company issued shares at a premium to the value of its assets, used the proceeds to buy Bitcoin, the stock price rose, and it issued more.
Today, the machine is running in reverse.
$MSTRB has lost roughly 76% from its peak. The premium has disappeared. And the preferred securities that financed the expansion are now demanding their monthly payouts in cash. That cash is not coming from the company’s revenue, which totaled just $122.4 million for the entire second quarter.
It is coming from selling the underlying asset itself. In the same week, the company sold $653.1 million worth of common stock six times the amount of Bitcoin it sold.
Its dollar cash reserves have risen to $4.65 billion.
And shareholders are quietly paying the bill through dilution of their ownership stakes.
The company still holds 840,447 Bitcoin, with an unrealized book loss of roughly $8.7 billion.
The asset has not changed. What has changed is its function. From a treasure that was never meant to be touched, to an ATM serving the debt structure built on top of it.
Every company built around a single asset eventually faces the same question: Do you protect the asset, or do you protect the structure built on top of it?
For only the second time in $BTC ’s history, the annual change in mining difficulty has turned negative.
The last time this happened was in 2021, when China’s mining crackdown forced a massive amount of hashrate offline.
This time, the story is different.
Bitcoin’s mining difficulty is now lower than it was a year ago, signaling growing pressure across the mining industry. Lower profitability, rising operational costs and competition for energy and infrastructure are forcing less efficient miners to reduce capacity or exit.
At the same time, mining has become increasingly concentrated among large pools such as Foundry, AntPool, ViaBTC and F2Pool.
When difficulty falls, it means less computing power is competing to mine Bitcoin. The protocol automatically adjusts downward to keep blocks close to the 10 minute target.
This does not mean Bitcoin’s network is failing. But it does tell us something important about the economics behind it.
In 2021, the shock was largely political.
In 2026, the pressure looks increasingly economic.
And historically, major contractions in mining activity have been periods worth paying very close attention to.
Miners are under pressure. The network is adjusting.
Monero ($XMR ) has been rising over the past few days, and one of the main reasons was the large buildup of unliquidated short positions.
More recently, major short liquidation pools were hit, signaling that many traders were caught on the wrong side of the market while betting against XMR.
⚠️ ALERT: Coinsbuy wallets lose $7.9 MILLION in a cross-chain drain affecting TRON and Ethereum.
On-chain sleuth Specter reports that the attacker has begun laundering the stolen funds into Monero (XMR) through exchanges, while ChangeNOW reportedly helped freeze a six-figure amount.
Coinsbuy temporarily halted deposits and withdrawals following the incident, with services now restored.
