📊 Bitcoin retests, then climbs

The structure hasn’t changed since 2023: breakout → retest → continuation. The current $113K pullback fits the same playbook.

➡️ Every major leg higher started with a retest of old resistance as new support
➡️ The pattern has repeated across multiple timeframes since 2023
➡️ Current consolidation looks like another setup before continuation

Narratives shift, but price action is stubbornly consistent.

🪙 Bitcoin vs Big Tech

At $2.1T market cap, Bitcoin now sits in the same league as the giants.

➡️ Apple: $3.0T
➡️ Microsoft: $3.4T
➡️ NVIDIA: $3.5T
➡️ Amazon: $2.2T
➡️ Bitcoin: $2.1T
➡️Alphabet: $2.1T
➡️ Meta: $1.7T
➡️ Tesla: $1.1T
➡️ Berkshire Hathaway: $1.1T

It’s still smaller than the top three, but Bitcoin has already outgrown most corporates built over decades.

For an asset born just 16 years ago, it’s still early.

📊 Bitcoin and the 4-year cycle

Looking at the past three halvings, the cycle structure is clear:

➡️ Bull phase (halving to cycle top) → median 75 weeks
➡️ Bear phase (top to bottom) → median 53 weeks
➡️ Accumulation (bottom to next halving) → median 74 weeks

On that math, the current cycle’s median top would land around September 29. The mean says the peak may already be behind us.

History isn’t destiny, and macro shifts matter more now than in earlier cycles. Still, the question remains: is Bitcoin repeating the 4-year rhythm, or are we finally breaking it?

⭕️ Fluid vs Aave

Fluid is starting to bite into Aave’s lead. It now has more weekly active users than Aave, a big shift in lending markets.

➡️ Aave still dominates in TVL and liquidity depth
➡️ But user growth is tilting toward Fluid
➡️ Competition in DeFi lending is heating up

The giant isn’t falling, but it’s definitely moving in its seat.

Might be time to keep an eye on the $FLUID token.
