Good morning readers,

Bitcoin did not break above $80,000. The setup and the market structure were there, but the momentum to push bitcoin above its 3-month descending channel, past the low-$70,000 range, and up beyond new all-time highs never came to fruition.

Today, we’re going to take a look at bitcoin-native activity within ETFs, on-chain, and price action using candlesticks. Then we take a look at Goldman Sachs’ bold 6,300 end-of-year target for the S&P 500, and the conditions the market needs to get there.

Today’s topics

  • Bitcoin's price failed to break above $80,000 despite a favorable market structure and setup

  • AUM in the bitcoin ETFs has been flat for 3 months

  • Bitcoin's attempted breakout above $70,000 failed, and a potential short-term downtrend looms if we don’t bounce at a key level

  • The short-term holder realized price (STHRP) is a critical support level for bitcoin in bull markets

  • Goldman Sachs predicts the S&P 500 could reach 6,300 by year-end, citing "mega-cap exceptionalism"

  • Marginal economic slowdown is bullish for risk assets because of the Fed response function
