Bitcoin Grimly Teeters at $100K: Fed Whispers, Flat Q3, and the Great Digital Gold Farce! 😂

by

Key takeaways:

  • Trading Bitcoin for “safety” is now about as effective as using a chocolate teapot—it dances like a risk asset, not like fortress-gold from the days when emperors brooded and rubles vanished at dawn.

  • The looming specter of a mighty Fed rate cut—should hope wax bold in July—hints at rising Bitcoin tides, though history, ever unamused, notes Q3’s returns are as exciting as stale black bread: just 1% from June to September. đŸ„±

Bitcoin (BTC) drags itself through the week like a worn-out zeks tramping through frozen wastes, waiting for destiny to improve—or for someone to smuggle in stronger vodka. Should Bitcoin, that shimmering “digital gold,” follow the whimsy of global money supply, perhaps hope stirs. Jurrien Timmer, a Director of Global Macro at Fidelity—not a position you find digging potatoes in Siberia—muses gold might climb, powered by a mysterious 8.5% surge in money supply thanks to “geopolitical tension.” (Or, as we call it in Russia, “Wednesday.”)

Timmer’s cold statistical gaze reveals both gold and Bitcoin are fattening their Sharpe ratios, promising safer trips (but mindful, comrades, the guards at the gate don’t care about Sharpe ratios). Recovery stirs in the charts, but Bitcoin’s persona—torn between “store of value” and Nasdaq’s wild apprentice—undermines its poise. Stability? Like trusting a party official’s handshake. đŸ€đŸ˜

Tony Sycamore, analyst of markets and purveyor of difficult truths, notes Bitcoin in 2025 dances not with gold, but sashays with U.S. equities—the risky crowd in a smoky backroom. And Nick Ruck, from LVRG, told CryptoMoon (so they told us, and we must believe them) that “digital gold” is a phrase now reserved for toasts, not portfolios. Traders chase short-term chaos like Moscow drivers: speeeeed! 🚗💹

Q3 Seasonality: Thrills Like Bread Rations

The Federal Reserve sits on its hands, clutching rates at 4.25%-4.50%—no change since December ‘24. Like a bad novel, Bitcoin’s price action this week reflects the agony of uncertain policy and distant, yet ever-present, global conflict. But hark, a voice! Fed Governor Christopher Waller, banishing inflation fears with a flick of his bureaucratic pen, says a magical rate cut could land as early as July, if bureaucratic winds agree.

A cut might inflate Bitcoin’s sails for a bold Q3 adventure—or, as seasoned historians cackle, it might do very little until Q4. Bitcoin network economist Timothy Peterson points to the record: a measly 1% return, averaged over the long summer’s discontent. Not per month, mind you, but over four lengthy months—enough time for a guard’s entire shift in the gulag. 😅

This slow march should, with luck, keep Bitcoin trudging above $100,000 through Q3, while stronger rallies—like warm boots in the frost—await Q4.

And on Friday: calamity! A headlong stumble after a “liquidity grab” near $106,000 during London’s trading hours—like a prisoner snatching a stale crust before the guards notice. Technical analysis, in its grim wisdom, detects ongoing bearish momentum at all levels, with another liquidity hunt for the now-hallowed $102,614 likely in the coming days.

If selling intensifies, loyal Bitcoin may plunge back to the $100,000 trench—the “fair value gap” and last bastion before the next round of icy Siberian winds.
