$BTC is nearly 50% below its peak. BlackRock still isn’t changing its thesis.
That’s the signal worth watching.
BlackRock continues to see Bitcoin as a potential global monetary alternative and portfolio diversifier, supported by its fixed supply and growing institutional access.
A 50% drawdown tests conviction.
It doesn’t automatically invalidate the thesis.
What would actually make you reconsider Bitcoin’s long-term case?

U.S. Media: The U.S. Is Considering Reducing Its Military Presence in the Gulf Region After the War Ends
August 18 — The Washington Post reported that, according to eight people, including officials and others familiar with the matter, the Pentagon is evaluating its military presence in the Middle East, an initial indication that the war with Iran could reshape the U.S. presence in the region. Two people familiar with the analysis said one key area being evaluated by the U.S. Department of Defense is whether to withdraw troops from the Persian Gulf. The large number of U.S. overseas military b

Bitcoin: Major Wave-3 Decline May Be Developing
Bitcoin’s weekly structure is signaling that the market may be entering one of the most important phases of the current bearish cycle.
Following the completion of a major Terminal pattern near the previous high, price entered a powerful decline labeled Wave-1. That initial selloff was followed by a corrective recovery into Wave-2, which appears to have completed around the recent local high.
The key focus now is Wave-3.
If the current wave interpretation remains valid, Wave-3 should become substantially more aggressive than the preceding decline.

Have fun gettin vamped!
