Bitcoin has consolidated within a $62.8K–$72.6K range for over a month and has failed to break out to the upside on multiple occasions. Is the current move toward the range high the one that finally pushes BTC higher?

Bitcoin is consolidating in a 65k to 73k range after extreme volatility earlier this month. Price looks calm. The options market does not. Here’s what BTC options data reveals about positioning, volatility expectations, and sentiment beneath the move.

Bitcoin fell nearly 35% in 8 days, then rebounded +15% from the low. Below is what BTC options data reveals about positioning, volatility, and sentiment beneath this sharp move.

I'm a Reserve Manager at a central bank. My job is buying gold. 297 tons this year. Quietly. While we print money. Loudly. Gold hit $5,000 an ounce yesterday. We've been buying since it was $1,800. That's called "reserve diversification." Diversification means we don't trust our own currency. But we can't say that. So we say "diversification." The Governor went on television last month. He said inflation is "anchored." Anchored means 6%. Used to mean 2%. We moved the anchor. That's monetary policy. He said the currency is "sound." Sound means losing 20% of its value. Per year. But it sounds sound. That's what matters. We bought 45 tons in November. Poland bought 95 tons. Brazil bought 43. China reports 1 ton. China is lying. We all know. Nobody says it. 95% of central banks plan to buy more gold next year. That's a survey. We surveyed ourselves. On whether we trust ourselves. We don't. We trust gold. Citizens ask why prices keep rising. We say "supply chains." We say "external factors." We don't say "we printed 40% of all money in existence since 2020." That's not external. That's us. The Finance Minister asked if gold is a hedge against our own policies. I said "gold is a strategic reserve asset." Strategic means yes. I just can't say yes. Gold is $5,000 now. Our currency buys less every day. Our gold buys more. That's the strategy. For us. Not for you. You get the currency. We get the gold. That's central banking.

@onchainmo Excellent article — clear, concise, and straight to the point.

@onchainmo And how did you get to 1000$ 4 years ago to 1,8 mil today … that’s the interesting part
