📡 Bitcoin at All-Time Highs: Is This Cycle Euphoria or Just Getting Started?

This week, Bitcoin tore through new all-time highs — and it wasn’t a meme pump. It was macro.

🧠 Regime Check: Nothing Changed… and That’s Bullish

We kick it off as always with the Bitcoin Macro Liquidity Regime Tracker, and the message is clear: we’re still deeply risk-on. The regime score remains at 67 — same as last week — because honestly, not much changed.

But the one thing we did add to the chart?

📈 Global M2 — because that monster has been lockstep with Bitcoin since Dec 2023, and it just broke higher. 👇

🔎 M2’s Grip on BTC

Global M2 growth has been uncannily predictive of Bitcoin’s moves this cycle — but zoom out and you’ll see: that hasn’t always been the case. Still, as long as M2 keeps rising, Bitcoin’s upside pressure stays on. Based on this correlation alone, 150K BTC by October is absolutely on the table.

🧾 Economic Data Recap — The Week Was Light, But Revealing

We didn’t get a data deluge, but the little we got said a lot.

🔹 Unemployment Claims: 227K (vs 236K expected)

Labor market still strong — which delays the Fed’s pivot and keeps liquidity constrained for now. But don’t get it twisted — it’s still elevated vs mid-cycle norms. Until this cracks 300K, the printer stays caged.

🧠 FOMC Minutes

The Fed is clearly split and sweating. More members are leaning toward cuts, even if the public stance remains hawkish. Market odds haven’t caught up yet — but the tone has shifted.

🔥 Macro X-Factors Incoming

Next week is stacked:

• CPI + PPI drop mid-week

• Retail Sales + UI Claims hit Thursday

• "Crypto Week" in Washington could front-run some narrative juice

Add it up, and it smells like a sell-the-news setup — especially if insiders already front-ran the bullish headlines. The market knows before the media does.

🧬 On-Chain Metrics: Long-Term Holders Still Loading

All on-chain indicators held steady — no bearish reversals. Long-term holders? Still stacking.

Retail? Nowhere to be found. And we’re in full-blown price discovery.

That divergence is fuel. It’s telling you there’s more room.

⚙️ Realized Price + MVRV Z-Score

These are not overheated yet — and if you follow SOPR, MVRV, or the Macro Regime Score… this rally ain’t done. Still room to run.

🔚 TLDR

✅ Macro Regime: Still Risk-On
✅ Global M2: Ripping
✅ Fed Pivot: Delayed, but pressure building
✅ Bitcoin: Broke out ahead of the crowd
🚫 Retail: Still not here

Sit tight. The real fireworks might come after the data hits.

🧠 Stay Ahead of the Cycle

I drop these every week — macro debriefs, on-chain signals, liquidity regimes, and all the tools I actually use to manage risk and conviction.
