It's clearly going down way too fast, according to my analysis bitcoin is dead. Save your money. (Preferably in bitcoin) (x-post from /r/Bitcoin)

Factors that will increase Pepe’s price.
If you’re hoping for a moon event, here are some factors that could trigger it. If anyone has any more insight, it would be appreciated. Also correct me if I’m wrong.
-
A massive burn in the trillions to create scarcity. Maybe developers will do this one day if they don’t care about losing money. Burns will happen overtime with every transaction from what I heard, but its effects could take years to be noticeable. They might do burn events like they have done before.
-
Increased buyers and whales. This might slowly grow overtime or it might end up fading. Increasing the buyers will probably only happen through worldwide adoption, if Pepe became extremely popular and millions or billions of people buy Pepe. Pepe would need a lot of marketing to make Pepe that popular enough. Still the supply would need to be significantly reduced by a lot if Pepe wants the chance to moon to $1.
-
BTC and ETH hit a million dollars. When bitcoin goes up, altcoins follow and when ethereum goes up Pepe follows, from what I noticed. So if these coins go way up, then Pepe might go way up. Some people already predict that a million dollars might happen within a decade or so.
There is hope and potential. Markets can be unpredictable because people can be unpredictable. One day a bunch of rich and poor people throughout the world might just decide to buy Pepe because of its low price and potential to moon. Or a bunch of whales might dump and the meme trend might fade causing many to sell and crash the prices. You never know. Until then, just HODL.

Uranus goes direct at 23ยบ16’ Taurus walking forward on the degrees it last walked on 15 May 2024 and we rewrite the chapter initiated in May 2024 after knowing our values, our likes dislikes, our true self a little bit better. Its not the first time Uranus the planet of sudden changes & liberation walked these degrees but its the last time for next 84 odd years that it would visit us again on this very degree making it significant for us to see through a change which started probably in August 2023 with a clear break or sudden development in May 2024 and now we walk forward on that shift with our eyes open instead of it being just an inner unease of wanting to change things or shake things up. The inner restless is given physical form in way of acting on what we wish to shift tangibly.

Uranus is idealistic like any revolutionary so the first model of life it reveals to us is always more idealistic - I spoke of it in May reading referenced below. This ideal seeded in May 2024 went through the revision of walking back as this planet went retro on 1 Sept 2024. This started a process of questioning our own need for change, the ideals we wish to achieve by separating or divorcing from our past identity (See : Themes of change referenced above). In Greek mythology Uranus archetype tried to stop delivery of his own children which were deemed to be weird or demonic or too imperfect for his idealistic vision. Gaia the mother who wanted the children irrespective of their imperfections got them to trick Uranus to be born. First physical manifestation of our ideals, our imagination is never what we expect or as perfect as we thought it would be. Nothing shows this clearly to us than the Sun Uranus opposition of Nov 2024 did.
But Uranus has a separative aspect thats why it’s linked with earthquakes & divorces or sudden changes - there is a breaking away from the past and once that crack comes nothing looks same again. If you are going through the midlife aspect of Uranus opposite Uranus (mid 40s) - you know this concept of being in between two lives which this aspect brings very much to life - one the life you have already lived and other the life you thought you would never live. This midlife crisis like feeling even though more predominant in mid 40s is felt by all during these oppositions esp if your personal planets (23ยบ-27ยบ Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio) are being aspected. There is a collective angst of unlived life & slight disappointment in current moment not reflecting our ideals which was most of Nov/Dec’24. Uranus in Taurus causes anxiety as we are experiencing fracture in most stable, consistent & valuable part of our life (See : By Sign Themes). The weird children of Uranus - first real manifestation of our ideals - look more jarringly odd in Taurus cause they do not fit our traditions, our old values & our old world that we have lived. Uranus swallowed his children cause he thought they would be his undoing. We refuse to accept the unsatisfactory present that Uranus transit usually throws in our face. Capricorn season grounded this madness with 13 Jan’25 trine. Uranus going direct now which helps us incorporate what we want in the life we want to live in the life we are currently living. It’s not perfect but it’s not the past as well.
More importantly is the realisation that unknowingly you have tapped into a reservoir of genius within you - Uranus helps you split from the norm so you can discover your unique gifts, your gems - the untapped high frequency part of you that traditions and old life was burdened with. The deformed children of Uranus that he wanted to swallow so they do not become his undoing become the Titans of tomorrow. Your unrest with status quo was very much required for that genius to show up. The two year process of Uranus aspects to your planets yields creative genius of a life time that you would tap into for a very long time as a part of your personality suppressed has been set free.

23ยบ degree of Taurus implies natural skills which need to be reformed over time to make them socially available to be used. Or anything of value to us in money, love, skills, beauty, food that needs to be refined to create the requisite worldly results.
“A jewellery shop filled with valuable gems” - there are two parts to anything valuable - one is the natural talent - the gem itself which appears through the natural process of existence and the other is refinement of those gems which makes them more valuable in the worldly sense and also makes them available to be enjoyed by others. An experience, a person, an event or a series of them during the transit of Uranus from this degree since May 2024 brings the last set of embellishment or refinement of our a very lengthy probably life long process of cultivating our natural talents. This last step makes our talents, skills, our gems socially available to be enjoyed in physically world and be benefited from.
We are now in the last two years of Uranus in Taurus transit which initiated in May 2018. Since its initiation we have observed changes in global events in form of change in financial markets, money, whats our currency, whats valuable in markets, whats of value whats no more of value, structure of Earth, environment, food. Innovation in these areas of our collective lives has accelerated since then. In our individual capacity it has liberated us or may be shaken us to wake up to reality of what we value, what we love, how we value our selves and what our natural valuable talents are. Taurus deals with matter of hearts but it requires grounding, consistency - it wants the wild whirlwinds we have been experiencing since 2018 to have a long lasting outcome. That’s what this degree deals with. Making your gems available to the jewellery shop.
We are moving from stage of finding what distinguishes ourselves from the collective to the stage of “conformation” and I know conformation in Uranus is like trying to regulate bitcoin and then people finding shitcoins to wild into. The more you try to conform to norms your wild streak - the more you might find another outlet to go wilder so you do this in the way that you are still free to be you. There needs to be air to breathe as you try to land this, ground this. Otherwise it would soon start looking like the 9-5 you hated or the relationship that was stifling or the mundane source of income you know what I mean. And it doesn’t just apply to work, it applied to love, food, anything you value which you are striving to, itching to evolve out of - an element of progressive needs to be living breathing alive as you try to ground your madness.
This conflict between wanting to be progressive, wanting to do whats true to you yet wanting to have consistent, lucrative, socially acceptable outcome or being everything for everyone would be key conflict of Feb 2024 as Uranus in Taurus conflicts with Mercury and Sun in Aquarius specifically around 10/11 Feb. Second half of Feb will dominate us trying to find this middle ground as full moon in Leo on 12 Feb fully embeds this conflict. Its not just the conflict of what you love to do or who you love (Leo) and what’s socially acceptable or where the world is moving to or what socially is required of you to do as your duty (Aquarius) ; There is also an inner conflict caused by us trying to hold onto our old values, your old self imagine and your old self worth concept which we surely need to evolve out of. But from this very conflict comes real long lasting change. Real long lasting tangible outward change is exactly what Uranus going direct brings.
We have been in process of bringing changes behind the scene or within ourselves since Uranus the planet of sudden changes and evolution to our true madness or our true self went retrograde on 1 Sept 2024. I wouldn’t say outer changes were halted but the freedom was more achieved in trying to change our own inner self before the outer changes can be seen. Now is the time for the outer changes to reflect the inner truth we have found in ourselves since Sept and that helps us relive the timelines since May 2024 very differently, in more authenticity and in more freedom without our own inner self holding us back from doing what’s required to change things to realign frequency. Uranus makes us vibrate at a different frequency so the people, places, sources of income, love partners which or who do not vibrate at the new frequency we are at - they are left behind. In Taurus - a fixed sign - our tendency is to hold on as long as we can and we do till it becomes jarringly clear that we ourselves have changed so we cannot really enjoy or value or desire the same food, the same values, the same sources of income and the same love partners. It’s a shift in our external values and external sources of value which happens once we have changed our inner self. This externalisation of inner change is the process of next 6 months whereby timeline till mid May 2025 will be about rewriting old stories - meaning we will handle old matters in new ways. And from 17 May 2025 onwards we write new stories, new elements of change. We would have fully evolved out of an old experience by then - which could be an old source of income, old partner, old set of food we liked, old value system or old skills that produced value for us and we would be looking to write a new chapter coming from a place of who we are in the now, the new frequency.

Bitwise CIO believes Bitcoin’s traditional 4-year cycle is over
๐จ Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan has stirred the pot by casting doubt on Bitcoin’s historical four-year cycle, hinting that some recent political maneuvers in Washington might keep the crypto party going strong until 2026 and beyond.
In a letter to clients, Hougan reminisced about Bitcoin’s usual pattern of three booming years followed by a dramatic pullback. He first spotted this trend back in mid-2022, and, boy, did his crystal ball shine brightly when he predicted the market rebound for 2023 and 2024.
Typically, 2025 looks to be another blockbuster year for Bitcoin. But hold on, things might be a bit different in 2026. Hougan argues that it’s the economic currents, not just Bitcoin’s halving events, that actually fuel the hype train. Major market shifts often commence with a big bang, luring in new investors and building momentum.
We’ve seen the historical rollercoaster of speculative excess leading to corrections with frightening events like the Mt. Gox meltdown back in 2014 and the SEC’s crackdown on ICOs in 2018.
The ruckus this time? The Grayscale victory against the SEC last March has been the spark for the current market cycle, coining it as the “Mainstream Cycle”. This ruling opened the doors for Bitcoin ETFs that made their grand entrance in January 2024, attracting a significant amount of institutional cash flow.
Since that pivotal ruling, Bitcoin’s value has skyrocketed from $22,218 to over $102,000. And we can’t ignore the impact of recent executive orders concerning digital assets, which seem to have added another layer of excitement. These actions declare the expansion of the digital asset ecosystem as a national priority and hint at a potential national crypto stockpile.
Hougan anticipates that ETF flows and corporate treasure hunts for $BTC could catapult its price beyond $200,000 in 2025. Although there’s an uptick in market leverage thanks to debt-laden $BTC purchases, it looks like institutional support and regulatory backing could soften the blow of any harsh corrections that once typified the space.
He also believes that while speculation-driven hiccups might still occur, any downturn would likely be milder than in previous cycles, thanks to the maturation of the cryptocurrency landscape. With institutions hopping on board, there’s a long-term optimism despite the approaching waves of volatility.
In a nutshell, traditional market cycles may soon be a relic of the past as crypto steps into a new era marked by broad institutional integration and sustained interest from investors.

Today's Top #3: How Will Markets React as $10B in Crypto Options Expire Today?
tldr; Around $10 billion in crypto options are set to expire today, including 80,000 Bitcoin options contracts valued at $8.36 billion and 600,000 Ethereum contracts worth $1.95 billion. Despite the large expiry, such events rarely impact spot markets, which have remained stable this week. The Bitcoin options have a put/call ratio of 0.68, indicating more long positions. Open interest is highest at the $120,000 strike price. Analysts suggest February may see better crypto price action than January.
