WATCH "I think very likely in the next few weeks it will breach below 60,000 and probably support level of around $50,000, $55,000... could go lower... to $40,000." The market is currently flushing out leverage ("long positions are going to be in for pain"). While the asset is "on sale," the technical breakdown suggests better entry points are imminent. The smart play is to wait for the capitulation to the $40k-$50k range before deploying heavy capital. WATCH (Targeting entry at $40,000 - $50,000). Unexpected macroeconomic liquidity injection causes a "V-shaped" recovery before hitting lower targets. Bloomberg Markets

Feb 17, 2026 LONG "Gold... easily could go to $10,000 in the next few years." Gold is performing its historic role as a store of value. The speaker draws a direct parallel between Bitcoin and Gold, suggesting that while Bitcoin is volatile, Gold has entered a structural uptrend that could see it double from current highs. LONG. A strengthening US Dollar or rising real interest rates dampening demand for non-yielding assets. Bloomberg Markets

Feb 17, 2026 AVOID "A lower price would cause more miners to be unprofitable and leave Bitcoin mining and maybe repurchase their machines to do something else with AI data centers." Bitcoin price is a leading indicator for miner health. If BTC drops to $40,000 (as predicted), mining profitability will collapse. This forces a shakeout where only those capable of pivoting to AI/HPC (High-Performance Computing) survive. Until the price bottoms, pure-play miners face severe margin compression. AVOID (until BTC price stabilizes or AI pivots are confirmed). Miners successfully hedging their production or a sudden spike in transaction fees offsetting the price drop. Bloomberg Markets

SHORT Traders have a "red line" at $60,000; a drop below this level triggers a cluster of option liquidations. Lee states we are in "bear market territory" despite recent highs. When a key support level ($60k) is tied to massive leverage, breaking it causes a cascade of forced selling (liquidations). This mechanical selling pressure overrides fundamental thesis in the short term, pushing price discovery down to the next major support ($50k or $40k). SHORT / AVOID in the short term. Wait for the "flush" to $40k-$50k to re-enter for long-term holding. Unexpected spot ETF inflows or a dovish Fed surprise could squeeze shorts before the liquidation cascade occurs. Bloomberg Markets
