Just looking back at what happened with Bitcoin around mid-August last year - that price action was pretty telling. The rally kind of fizzled out right when inflation concerns and policy uncertainty started dominating headlines again. You know how it goes, one day everyone's bullish on macro tailwinds, next day the Fed signals are mixed and everything gets shaky. Bitcoin price in August 2025 showed a lot of indecision, bouncing around but struggling to break through resistance. The whiplash between different policy signals really threw off the momentum. Anyway, makes you think about how sensitive these markets are to macro noise. Worth remembering when you're trying to time entries.
