BTC's $83K Ceiling: The Chart Says Wait for Pullback
Bitcoin capped near $81K, key resistance around $83K, and ETF inflows Greeny calls a reactive, top-marking mechanism
Bitcoin daily chart discussed at the open
The macro book ran at the open: July PCE printed at 3.7% against a 3.6% expectation, with core PCE at 3.3% - the second-highest reading since October 2024, and roughly double the Fed's 2.0% target. Greeny called the combination of sticky inflation and thriving risk assets interesting and said markets are now waiting on the next Fed event.
Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Santander and a dozen other major banks moved forward with plans to launch a crypto stablecoin, and the SEC submitted a proposal to modernize crypto custody rules. Greeny tagged both as bullish adoption headlines even as he cautioned the hard question is how anyone actually captures stablecoin exposure.
Fresh inflows were massive - about $300M into Bitcoin ETFs and over $180M into Ethereum in a single day, the largest since April after price pumped above $77K. Greeny's read: flows accumulate into the pump, not at the lows, so they mark tops and bottoms. He said counter-trading the pattern is historically the better trade and that price-up-plus-inflow spikes point to local highs.
XRP reclaimed the Fed low with strength and is retesting the point of control, but Greeny called the move distribution above the range high. If price fails to hold the 200 EMA, he said it would not surprise him to see a revisit toward the $19 region, and noted a massive low-volume gap still hangs in the middle of the range.
PONS was cited as around $131M valuation and described as rallying and still shipping, and Greeny said its strength opens the door to a second push across the wider broker ecosystem. He noted PONS and the rest of the rotation were doing well on the day.
STONKBROKER printed back over the $50M region after running from roughly $7.8M to $90M. Greeny's own story: $6,000 of product bought at the $7.8M area, scaled out between $45M and $65M, sold a chunk this morning at $33M, and $32,000 of profit taken from the initial trade. He described the current structure as fresh and said entries in the $4M-$10M zone 'will look exceptional' if the ecosystem pushes again.
The MANCER as-transcribed complex (Manser/Manscer) is described as back at the seven-million region with breakout structure underway, and Greeny called it a different product to STONKBROKER - one of his disclosed entries is 'pretty good, four mil'. A viewer challenge about selling the earlier swing trade got an unapologetic answer.
FARTCOIN caught a bid overnight and reclaimed very important moving averages. Greeny said he caught a late long into the reclaim and is running it as a hedge against an open Bitcoin short - the only two perp trades on his board.
Greeny showed a scalp on an AI-pegged virtual token (as-transcribed, linked to the Nvidia narrative): scouted around the $600K-$1.1M area, exited near $1.7M for roughly $300 of profit, drew the expected pullback, and said price did exactly what the draw predicted within ten minutes before breaking back toward a million. The lesson was reading price action, not prediction.
The week's ledger, spoken on air: roughly $7,000 made yesterday trading memecoins, a $5,400 swing on a coin consolidated at the 786 fib (entry in the high-300K to mid-400K reaccumulation zone, invalidation at the wick low), and earlier in the cycle a coin minted for about $100 sold for seven figures. He also walked through de-risking a failed breakout overnight for a $900-$2,500 loss and framed invalidation as missing maybe one in twenty-five trades that later go higher.
