  • BTC Cycle Low? & Views on macro, altcoins, & crypto equities
    Apr 1 2026

    Bitcoin is down 47% from the highs, but Mike says the real “fat pitch” still hasn’t arrived.


    Mike and Ryan break down where BTC could actually bottom using realized price, the 200-week moving average, and deep value onchain signals, plus why oil, Iran, rates, and recession risk still matter more than most crypto investors think.

  • Nasdaq vs. Bitcoin: Surviving the 200-Day Breakdown
    Mar 25 2026

    The Nasdaq just broke its 200-day moving average. In 2022, that was the signal for a 35% collapse. Is history repeating?


    Mike and Ryan dive into the "Complacency Trap," why the war in Iran is actually a strategic play for China’s oil, and the onchain data suggesting Bitcoin hasn't hit "Deep Value" yet. They also break down the 2022 analog, the 6.4% mortgage rate reality, and why the "Trump Prize" won't save the markets this time.

  • Saylor is Back: How does this impact market structure?
    Mar 18 2026

    Bitcoin is ripping while stocks and gold stall, and Michael Saylor just dropped billions into BTC. So… is this a real regime shift or just another 2022-style fake rally?


    Ryan and Mike break down the macro, why liquidity is quietly tightening, how Saylor’s new capital machine is changing market structure, and why this rally may not be as bullish as it looks.
