⚖️ WHERE WE STAND
Cautious short term. Hawkish FOMC extended the recovery timeline 60–90 days.
But here’s what matters long term:
The most sophisticated money in the world whales, LTHs, BlackRock, Strategy is buying everything retail sells at $62–63K.
Monthly volume of 201,810 BTC is the largest in Bitcoin history.
That is the great transfer. Weak hands to strong hands.
The recovery path:
Oil decline post-Iran deal → July CPI cools → September FOMC less hawkish → recovery accelerates.
Key level to hold: $62,000
