They are MISSING IT, the BOTTOM FOR BITCOIN Using XRP and Total Market Cap of Crypto

News and Commentary

Overview

The speaker argues that Bitcoin’s bottom has likely already formed. They claim the broader crypto crowd is repeating the same mistake it made during the 2022 bear market: expecting additional downside even after key on-chain and technical conditions have already indicated capitulation and a shift into the next phase.

Core Claims / Reasoning

  • The crowd misread the bear-market bottom in 2022—and is repeating it now. The thesis is that most participants believe “we still have to go lower,” but historically that sentiment tends to appear around the point where bottoms are actually put in place.

  • On-chain capitulation signals are emphasized (loss-making coins). The presenter repeatedly points to on-chain “loss” metrics—specifically referencing a threshold like ~10.5M coins in loss—and argues that at prior bottoms (2018/2020/2022), the market later stopped there rather than continuing indefinitely lower.

  • An “FTX-style crash” is treated as the structural parallel (“FTX moment”). The comparison is framed around how the market behaved around the FTX collapse:

    • rejection from a “broken support/capitulation floor”
    • followed by a sharp liquidation event (cited as ~$5B liquidations in late June, per subtitles)
    • then price movement into ranges where on-chain loss/profit-supply dynamics resemble the 2022 event

  • Bitcoin/total market cap are compared to past bear-market stages—not just indicators. The speaker argues the resemblance is structural, including:

    • the timing of capitulation
    • recovery attempts
    • how price interacts with major moving-average regimes (they mention the 100-week moving average as part of the analogy)

  • Bear market “age” is reframed to suggest the cycle is farther along. The presenter claims the bear market started earlier than many assume (they cite January 2025) and notes it’s 18 months into the bear market as of July 2026. On that basis, they argue current conditions resemble later-stage bear-market behavior—where capitulation has already occurred.

  • Past euphoria + weaker rally setup mirrors 2021/2022 behavior. They describe:

    • an initial “bullish/euphoria” phase
    • followed by a bearish divergence phase where Bitcoin makes new highs but many alts lag
    • then capitulation and extended consolidation—repeated, they argue, in the current cycle

  • Key disagreement: the crowd expects lower after breakdowns, but the speaker claims capitulation already occurred. The presenter says people want “textbook-perfect” fractals, but history “rhymes.” Still, they believe the current mix of technical, on-chain, and structural factors matches the period right after the earlier capitulation event.

Conclusion / Takeaway

  • The speaker’s bottom call is that Bitcoin has likely already moved past the bottom, and is now in/near the transition phase rather than starting another leg down.
  • They advise viewers to look for confluence across technical + on-chain + structural + macro/top-network activity.
  • They present their Substack newsletter as the place where additional indicators (including points related to network usage/developer activity) are discussed.
