$BTC bottomed earlier than expected this cycle, posted its strongest August since 2017, and is tracking toward a green September — historically a weak month.

Usually "this time is different" doesn't hold, but the timing and structure of this cycle are genuinely off-script. We're seeing strength where we'd normally see weakness.

What does that mean for the rest of the cycle? We don't know yet. But when the setup changes, you pay attention. Hold through the noise, watch the macro, and let the cycle play out. Patience wins.
