In this episode, Nik breaks down Bitcoin’s latest breakout to all-time highs and what’s driving price action under the hood. He covers the Golden Cross formation, historical performance following technical breakouts, and how TBL’s proprietary liquidity index offers a signal-rich view of current market conditions. Nik also explores the role of stablecoin growth, Treasury auctions, dollar moves, and credit market calm as contributing factors to Bitcoin strength. The update finishes with a look at on-chain momentum, real yields, and why the combination of stable rates and rising liquidity points to continued upside for risk assets.
