You're probably worried that Bitcoin’s price will fall below $74,000.

Supposedly, a bear market starts below that price. If we stay above $74,000, it's still a bull market.

As you know, we don't care about bull and bear. Those terms are pure semantics. You can't worry about semantics with an asset that crashes 30 to 50% during bull markets and pumps 100 to 300% during bear markets.

Let's take things as they come.

Did you catch this week’s market update? We caught up with the Fear and Greed Index and did some technical analysis.

In that update, I also debunked the “Trump put” myth and compared the current state of the cryptocurrency market to similar situations in previous times.

Institutions are Top Blasting and Bottom Selling Bitcoin Just Like Us

Bottom line: Major ETF outflows mark local Bitcoin lows, suggesting “smart money” isn’t so smart.

My take: This makes sense because most ETF buyers are normal people or financial advisors buying for their clients, not institutions. They make up as much as 85% of the ETF volume, depending on whose data you believe.

They look like whales and institutions because the ETFs pool their Bitcoins into one or a few big custodial accounts, but those wallets represent hundreds of thousands of individual investors and a handful of large entities. Some flows come from funds hedging their positions, e.g., long/short the ETF, short/long the spot market, and other trading strategies.

Why you should care: You don’t ape into a decision based on what so-called smart money and whales do.

The White House crypto roundtable seems like ancient history, right?

No pump, no news, and you learned everything you needed in last week’s rundown.

Or did you?

Laura Shin was a little deeper into the implications in last week’s podcast, White House Crypto Summit: Two Attendees Share Why It Matters.

Watch the video for her interview with BitGo CEO Mike Belshe and former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo. They share news from the closed meetings and discussions that the public didn’t see or hear about.
