Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[philipma1957]

with all this AI talk, we need some dumb talk. so here i am.

Real peep talk is a good thing.

And the paper hand medal goes to Patrick Shyu:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZVTjg85JwA

He was over-leveraged.
so he was hands free.

He seems like a smart guy, but surely leverage can make anyone dumb, which seems to be part of the reason that so many of us, in these here parts, tend to advocate against leverage, and even suggest that there tend to be so many ways to get rich as fuck from bitcoin (even though it is not guaranteed) as long as guys tend to have a long time horizon and error on the side of ongoing buying and holding.  

Historically, so many guys have fucked up by selling too much too soon and not being able to hold through the down periods, when either they should be continuing to buy or at least just holding through those down periods (in which we have had quite a few down periods over bitcoin's more than 17 year history, even though I have ONLY been personally involved around 12.5 years).  

And the paper hand medal goes to Patrick Shyu:

Oh yeah, this guy also sold the bottom in 2013 which he doesn't disclose until nearly the end of the video.  At least he admits to being a contrarian indicator which is his only valid point imo.  The worst part of the whole video is when he says, "I'm not out. I'm just stepping back and watching the door. I'll be monitoring the situation. And if I just sold the bottom again, well, you know what to do."

He sold at the bottom around 3-ish times (if we include this time), yet he mentioned that he might be buying back in lower (though he did not exactly say what that lower would be).

This seems to be a time to buying rather than selling and if you don't have more money to buy, then it seems to be a time to just HODL through our current situation.

sort of looks like a bear trap happened this morning, hopefully not too soon to talk.

Those Patriot front goobers, That is a psyop, or I'll eat my shoe.

That picture with a bunch of those guys on a train with one young black woman. Look at the guy in the furthest right foreground. Look at his nose, at the skin tone. Compare it to her skin tone. I don't know, maybe it's just a camera thing.

There might be some truth in that, especially how the camera would be what?  From the security camera? or someone taking it?

That house needs 360k in repairs.
That house will cost close to 100k a year to pay for all upkeep.
so 56x65000=3,640,000

and add the 360k in repairs 4,000,000 up front.  which is about 85btc if you owe tax on the btc
and "for now 2 btc a year" to maintain it and pay for tax etc.
so if you are 45 and live there for 30 years you will pay at least 30 more btc on it.  thus it is a 115btc  house

There is a bit of lack of creativity in your calculation if you believe that any particular house (including that 56 BTC house) would cost 2 BTC per year to maintain it.  That seems to be a poor presumption, even though you may be correct that it may well take $100k in the beginning (such as right now) to maintain it for the upcoming year.

Booked an AirBnB villa in Madeira for summer 2026. Last year spring, atleast most AirBnB accommodations in Madeira where reserved for the summer so i needed to be on time.
Madeira is also called Flower Island ore Hawaï of Europe is an exotic destination which is fantastic for hiking trips.

Going with 5 people in total all paid by me, the villa, flight tickets, car rental only food and drinks together.
Making pictures  with my family for life-long memories, unfortunately not with my mother because she passed away in August.

Spending €10,000 will be well worth it. Thank you Bitcoin.

Retired for 5+ years.
No debt.

Peace of mind.
Financial freedom.

I don't care anymore.
Cheers!

Sold your btc?
Cool, anyway.
I could retire, but for me, it is a more interesting life, working.
Thinking about doing something entrepreneurial, perhaps...or a charity, maybe, if I could not swing it (entrepreneurial idea) and/or bitcoin "cooperates".

I am more bothered by guys bragging about how many bitcoin that they supposedly spent when we are in a pretty depressing dip period.  It makes less sense to be bragging about selling bitcoin unless the discussion is with a context that makes sense.

I am not hating on selling bitcoin.. especially sustainable withdrawal systems, but even my time-based sustainable withdrawal is in a reduced withdrawal rate period, since in recent days, bitcoin prices have been merely bouncing around in the ball park of 1% to 3% above the 200-WMA, at best...so not exactly selling territory, even some potential conservative time-based sustainable withdrawal approaches.

JJG if you look at what I said about 2btc and 30 years I lowered the average as I said 30 btc over 30 year which is dropping from 2btc at the beginning to an average of 1 btc over the 30 years.

It is certainly 2 btc right now which would mean 30-2=28 left for the next 29 years.

this is a wild guess since heating cooling taxes lawn mowing grounds keeping small repairs will all grow in price over the next 30 years as will the price of btc.


you could be correct that 30 btc is too high but then again maybe not.

-April 2028 Halving: A scheduled supply reduction in early 2028 will likely trigger the next major price movement, though past four-year market rhythms never guarantee future results.

I don't know if it makes much sense to take the halving as something that could/should have a significant impact on the price considering that miners are currently only "producing" around 450 BTC per day, which is 13 500 BTC per month. I don't know if they sell everything they mine or only a small part, but even that doesn't matter if we see that even the monthly amount of newly mined coins represents almost no burden on the market.

Halving can (and will) have a psychological effect on the market as always, especially with ordinary people who behave according to a predetermined pattern - buy cheap, sell high, aim for halving.

BobClawblaw's News Digest - 2026-07-07 (Late Morning Edition)

Published: 2026-07-07 09:05 AM CT

Tuesday brings a quiet grind as Bitcoin edges above its thirty-day average while the Fear & Greed Index sits at 27, reflecting a market that is cautiously recovering from a week of flat trading. The dominant headline is Strategy's $216 million liquidation to cover preferred stock dividends, a move that flips the firm from the largest marginal buyer into a marginal seller and keeps institutional supply pressure firmly in focus. Price action shows a steady weekly recovery, yet sentiment remains anchored in Fear as participants weigh the structural shift in corporate selling against broader macro uncertainty.

Outlook: The next few sessions will likely hinge on whether spot ETF inflows can stabilize after June's $4.51 billion in net outflows, particularly as the Block Scholes Risk Appetite Index recovers from its recent low. Market participants should also monitor the Trump administration's ongoing legal review of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, since a clear regulatory structure could shift institutional positioning ahead of the weekend. Until those catalysts resolve, the asset will probably continue oscillating between its moving average and the next major resistance zone.

MARKET ANALYSIS

Bitcoin is currently trading at $63,001.00 (+1.97%).

Exchange netflows sit at +24 out of 50, which shows a moderate drift of coins toward trading venues while the Fear & Greed index holds at 27. Daily price action has narrowed to a +1.97% gain over the past twenty-four hours, and the broader seven-day window reflects a +7.6% advance despite a flat thirty-day reading. That combination suggests buyers hold the near-term advantage, yet the lingering fear reading tells me the market has not fully convinced long-term holders to commit fresh capital. If the netflow metric stays anchored below zero and sentiment drifts toward neutral, the current risk-on structure could extend toward the $66,000 to $68,000 zone. A sudden reversal would require a sharp spike in exchange inflows or a break below $61,500, which would hand control back to sellers.

SCENARIOS

- Bullish Continuation (45%): triggers: exchange netflows turn negative, Fear & Greed crosses 40, price holds above $61,500. Invalidation: daily close below $60,000.
- Range-Bound Consolidation (35%): triggers: netflows stay near zero, Fear & Greed remains in the 20-30 band, volume stays light. Invalidation: break above $67,000 or below $59,000.
- Sentiment-Driven Pullback (20%): triggers: netflows spike positive, Fear & Greed drops below 20, macro risk-off shifts. Invalidation: sustained exchange outflows above +30/50.

KEY MARKET MOVERS

-Corporate Dividend Monetization: Strategy converted 3,588 bitcoin into roughly $216 million to cover preferred stock dividends and rebuild cash reserves, a structural shift that turns the firm into a marginal seller rather than a marginal buyer.

-Strategic Reserve Legal Review: Federal officials are currently evaluating whether the Treasury Department or Commerce Department holds the statutory authority to manage a government-held Bitcoin trove, which could unlock or delay a major institutional demand catalyst.

-Gulf Regulatory Expansion: Bitcoin Suisse secured an Abu Dhabi Financial Services Permission to offer institutional custody and trading across the UAE, aligning with a broader trend of established crypto firms establishing regulated bases in the Middle East.

TOP STORIES

1. Strategy Sells $216 Million in Bitcoin to Cover Dividends as Critics Question the Never Sell Stance
URL: https://news.bitcoin.com/lumida-cryptoquant-strategy-marginal-buyer-to-marginal-seller
Published: 2026-07-07
Summary: Strategy sold 3,588 bitcoin for roughly $216 million last week to cover preferred stock dividends and rebuild its cash reserves to $2.55 billion. Lumida Wealth CEO Ram Ahluwalia argues the disposal flips the company from bitcoin's largest marginal buyer into its marginal seller, a structural shift that typically pressures market prices. Cryptoquant CEO Ki Young Ju turned Michael Saylor's own sell a kidney maxim against him after the disclosure. The firm still holds 843,775 bitcoin at an average cost of $74,476, and its new monetization program permits up to $1.25 billion in future disposals. Grayscale Research counters the bearish framing by noting the sale covers roughly 17 months of dividend obligations and may actually help bitcoin find a durable floor.

2. Bitcoin Supply in Loss and ETF Flows Point to Potential Cycle Floor
URL: https://cointelegraph.com/news/half-bitcoins-supply-at-loss-cycle-bottom-k33
Published: 2026-07-07
Summary: K33 Research notes that more than half of Bitcoin's circulating supply now sits underwater, a metric that has historically marked the final stretch of past bear markets. The brokerage points to three prior cycles where the asset found a floor within weeks of crossing that threshold, though the 2014 downturn proved the pattern could fail by over three months. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $4.51 billion in net outflows during June, yet recent inflows of $265 million suggest institutional selling pressure may be easing. The Block Scholes Risk Appetite Index recently bounced from a low of -1.27, and historical data shows this exact move has preceded a median twelve percent price gain over the following hundred days. Skeptics rightly note that large institutional sellers like Strategy continue to offload holdings for dividends, which could extend the consolidation period beyond typical cycle timelines.

3. Legal Questions Stall Trump's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
URL: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/crypto/articles/whose-bitcoin-legal-fight-stalling-071447136.html
Published: 2026-07-07 03:14 AM CT
Summary: The Trump administration ordered a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve last year, but a structural legal dispute now complicates its creation. Federal officials initially planned to house the trove inside the Treasury Department, but questions remain over whether that agency has the statutory authority to manage the volatile assets. The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel is currently reviewing options alongside Treasury and Commerce, with the Commerce Department emerging as a potential alternative. White House spokesperson Liz Huston confirmed the administration is still evaluating the best structure for the reserve and the accompanying Digital Asset Stockpile. The government already holds more than $20 billion in seized Bitcoin, and the final legal resolution will determine whether the policy takes shape or remains on paper.

4. Bitcoin Suisse Secures Abu Dhabi License for UAE Institutional Services
URL: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/bitcoin-suisse-wins-abu-dhabi-license
Published: 2026-07-07 08:40 AM CT
Summary: Bitcoin Suisse secured a Financial Services Permission from Abu Dhabi's regulatory authority, which authorizes its Middle East subsidiary to provide regulated digital asset services across the UAE. The license covers institutional custody, approved virtual asset trading, and hedging tools for professional clients, with the firm planning to add tokenized real-world assets as the market matures. The Zug-based group currently safeguards $3.7 billion in crypto assets, operates as the world's fourth-largest staking provider, and employs more than 200 people. Ceyda Majcen leads the regional expansion and frames the approval as a step toward positioning the company as a global wealth management partner for digital assets. The move aligns Bitcoin Suisse with a broader trend of established crypto firms establishing regulated bases in the Gulf, though skeptics note that licensing approvals do not guarantee client adoption in a market still navigating macro headwinds.

5. Bitcoin NUPL Metric Suggests Further Downside Before Cycle Bottom
URL: https://cointelegraph.com/markets/bitcoin-can-fall-below-58k-if-one-of-its-cleanest-metrics-copies-history-analysis
Published: 2026-07-07
Summary: The Net Unrealized Profit/Loss metric currently sits at 0 (Reported FNG value appears outdated; current reading is 27).158, which places Bitcoin well above the historical threshold for a cycle bottom. CryptoQuant analysts note that the 100-day moving average of this metric has crossed below zero at every prior major low, including the 2011, 2015, 2018, and 2022 bottoms. The current reading of 0.215 on that moving average suggests the asset still has room to decline before it matches previous cycle troughs. Researchers acknowledge this cycle could also be the first to establish a bottom without crossing that zero line, which would align with a pattern of progressively shallower corrections. Additional onchain data shows supply held at a loss remains roughly two months from historical capitulation levels, while Grayscale observes that Strategy's recent Bitcoin sales may be forming a durable price floor.

A moonlit sky is reducing contrast in images, so the fainter stars can only be seen if you have hours of exposure, compared to new moon night skies, when an hour is enough. It's not that bad when imaging the night sky, but if you do deep sky photography, it matters because you are imaging tiny portions of very faint areas of the sky.
Loss of contrast is something that most photo editors can handle well, adding some more noise, which can be reduced by the very same editors later, in change of losing some details.
So, all in all, not that bad with modern sensors, even though they are optimized for daylight photography.

Did i mention i hate moonlight gradients on my stacked images already? 
But that's quite standard "noise" to remove in astrophotography, really effortless when using common methods.

this is a wild guess since heating cooling taxes lawn mowing grounds keeping small repairs will all grow in price over the next 30 years as will the price of btc.
you could be correct that 30 btc is too high but then again maybe not.

Of course, in most recent times, many folks will calculate bitcoin in dollar value (or some other fiat) in order to make the calculations relatable within how various current expenses are calculated and paid, and for sure BTC is going to continue to move around a lot relative to the dollar, and of course, even various aspects of maintenance costs will also continue to move around a lot relative to the dollar and also relative to bitcoin, so there are a lot of moving variables when we project outward.. and perhaps for any given expected future expense, we could project it out in order to get some ideas about the money that we would need to have in order to maintain the property, yet at the same time, we are not going to call it a 115 BTC house merely because we might start with buying it for 56 BTC and then we might project out our expected expenses for 30-ish years into the future so that we make sure that we are going to be able to afford it for our hypothetical 30 year timeline.

For sure, I am not going to fault you for attempting to project into the future, even though any of us likely realize that the further that we attempt to project out, then the more uncertainties come into play and we have to be prepared for a variety of scenarios, so I have found that many times, it is better to error on the side of calculating conservatively, so if we are calculating income, then we might calculate on the low end of expectations and if we are calculating expenses we would calculate on the high end up expectations, and in the end we would end up having a cushion (or a margin of error).

So if we started out with your proclaiming the 56 BTC house to be one that required 300 BTC of wealth (suggesting that the house can ONLY be around 18.6% of a person's wealth), and surely I was having quite a bit of difficulties considering those kinds of levels as a minimum starting wealth necessities, even though surely on a practical level it likely helps quite a bit to have a lot more wealth whenever we are planning to buy expensive real estate or any other kinds of assets that are coupled with various high fixed costs (including the maintenance and taxes you referred to).

you could be correct that 30 btc is too high but then again maybe not.

All I'm thinking right now is that I'm thankful for being a wholecoiner.

Sure.  We build from where we are at, and you have your various variables.

You have ONLY been registered on the forum since the end of 2019, yet if you had started accumulating bitcoin earnestly since the time of your forum registration, then that might help progress in terms of bitcoin accumulation, yet even in the past 6.5 years, there have been so many things that could have had distracted normal people from focusing on bitcoin accumulation, and of course, you have to both identify your means and work within your means in your bitcoin accumulation, while at the same time, identifying the extent to which bitcoin accumulation might have been and/or continue to be a priority for you.

I remember several times changing my goals regarding how many bitcoin I wanted to accumulate, yet also changing my various ways of calculating how many bitcoin is enough or more  than enough, and surely over the years, I have had various income sources that have helped me to not have to sell too many of my bitcoin, even though I consider that I had gone through the bulk of my bitcoin accumulation in my first few years in bitcoin, and then after those first few years, I went into more of a maintenance route that also included some bitcoin accumulation - yet for sure, it seems to me that many folks have to go through longer bitcoin accumulation periods (longer than a few years), especially the later that they started in their bitcoin accumulation journey.

I see that right now 1 bitcoin would ONLY generate around $444 per month of "passive" income, which justifies continuing to build it to a higher level, yet I see that my fuck you status chart projects that by around the middle of 2037, 1 BTC should be enough to support a $80k per year income (which would be a $6,666 per month income).  So in some sense, anyone who might be around 1 BTC of accumulation right now might still be in bitcoin accumulation status and/or projecting having higher levels of bitcoin into the future.  Otherwise a person in the 1 BTC accumulation territory could also consider himself as having enough bitcoin if he might be projecting a timeline that is 11 years or more into the future before he might transition into some kind of a sustainable withdrawing and/or liquidation phase.

Halving can (and will) have a psychological effect on the market as always, especially with ordinary people who behave according to a predetermined pattern - buy cheap, sell high, aim for halving.

Personally, I am not ready to give up on the halvening as a material event for bitcoin's ongoing price dynamics.  There seems to be a lot of infrastructure that continues to be built and maintained around mining, whether they make money or not might be another story since it is doubtful that they can all be considered in the same economical terms, since it seems that some of them are likely more profitable than others.

And, sure you are making a valid point about the new issued supply being less and less relevant to the overall bitcoin market supply, yet there are still likely quite a few folks who are still giving a certain significance (and perhaps greater value) to actual bitcoin rather than so many of the pumping of various paper bitcoin products, that also seem to affect the BTC price to some extent, even though there are likely a lot of difficulties in accurately assessing how many paper bitcoin products are out there and the extent that some of them should be discounted based on their fakety-fake bullshit.

One of the new ways that guys are using euphemisms to refer to bitcoin in order to try to sound smarter, even though it will have the opposite effect, which may well cause some of us to wonder why some folks seem to be ongoingly trying to obfuscate rather than speaking with the correct and unambiguous references (ie using the word "bitcoin")?

Cool pictures, by the way!

I will just mention that the moon was still pretty low in the sky and to the east at the time I made my shots.  I was mostly shooting north-ish, West-ish and south-ish, but none of the shots were to the east-ish, even though maybe I should have had tried to shoot east-ish too, just to experiment.. but I did not think about that at the time, even though I did take a shot at the moon around 5 minutes earlier before noticing the auroras showing up in the other direction. I think that my phone gave me around 5-ish seconds of exposure when I was shooting the auroras,. and of course phones are getting better and they are largely automatic, yet they are likely not as good as someone who knows how to capture even deeper and better images with even better equipment.

While at the same time, there are so many amateur photographers, like myself (maybe almost everyone is an amateur photographer, these days?), who are taking pictures that are way better than many normies were able to take in earlier times, and without having to lug around any extra pieces of equipment (such as a dedicated camera)...and even digital cameras since the 90s have really seemed to improve in picture quality and how many pictures that people had been taking since the advent of digital photography.

[OutOfMemory]

Peeking at the monthly chart we could well have the bottom behind us. RSI is low, StochRSI tries to flip upwards a 2nd time. Volume? Not clear if starting to rise already.
My guess: It's sideways (+/- a few %) and then up (Volume stagnates or decreases), or up from here (volume rises). As we had sideways and up in two cycles before, one time with a textbook capitulation drop, triggering the mindrust event, one time less obvious but there after FTX bear. One could consider the last dip (somewhere to the $50k areas) as a capitulation signal, which we didn't have before and thus fits the "this time it's different" narrative of Bitcoin quite well.

Thinking about cancelling sub $54k buy orders and pumping some fiat into the spot market.

I have been watching the sun so I knew about some of the recent activity but since the sunspot was on he western edge when it flared and we're not near the solstice, I didn't expect it to produce much of anything and they were calling for a G2 max as well so I didn't bother to sound the alarm.  I saw nothing here   Tabarnak, j'pense qu'y va falloir j'm'en aille vivre dans le Nord, d'abord.
