Summary

Jamie Coutts, Chief Crypto Analyst at Real Vision, presents his 'Counter Trend, Not Corner Turned' outlook. He sees evidence that Bitcoin's bear market is losing momentum but awaits a breakout above the high $70s for confirmation. He is cautiously accumulating top L1s and blue-chip DeFi, highlighting Ethereum's ETF flow strength, DeFi's supply-side tokenomics improvement, and Solana's tokenization readiness. Macro liquidity risks remain on the horizon, while tokenization and AI agents are long-term structural tailwinds.

  • Bitcoin shows bullish RSI divergences and slowing ETF outflows, but a new bull market needs a weekly close above the high $70s.
  • Jamie has begun deploying cash into top L1s and blue-chip DeFi, while keeping reserves for potential macro-driven declines.
  • Ethereum exhibits relative strength with better ETF flow dynamics and earlier daily bullish flip.
  • The DeFi sector recently outperformed as protocols improve tokenomics, revenue sharing, and supply discipline.
  • Solana is favored for its technical upgrades and capacity to handle large-scale tokenization volume.
  • Macro concerns include debt outpacing liquidity growth, debt-funded AI capex, and heavy upcoming US government issuance.
  • Tokenization and AI agents are expected to drive structural demand for blockchain block space over the next 12-18 months.

Bitcoin bottom forming, breakout confirms.
Bitcoin shows bullish weekly RSI divergences and slowing ETF outflow rate of change, suggesting the bear market may be losing momentum and a bottom forming. However, a trend reversal is not confirmed until Bitcoin breaks above the high $70s. He has begun accumulating but keeps cash for potential further downside due to global liquidity concerns.

ETH ETF flows relative strength bullish.
Ethereum ETF flows show a bullish divergence: each consecutive price low has seen smaller negative flows. The daily chart flipped bullish before Bitcoin, indicating relative strength and potential outperformance versus Bitcoin.

Buy blue-chip DeFi, tokenomics improve.
DeFi has been a sneaky outperformer with a sharp 30-day snapback. Protocols are finally addressing the supply-side drag through improved tokenomics, revenue sharing, and supply discipline (e.g., Near cutting inflation, Hyperliquid model). Combined with demand from tokenization and AI agents, this structural shift favors blue-chip DeFi tokens. He is taking positions in deeply oversold DeFi names showing relative outperformance.

Buy top L1s for structural demand.
Top Layer-1 smart contract platforms will benefit from structural demand tailwinds from tokenization and the agentic AI economy, driving block space usage. He has been adding to top L1s to position for this trend.

Solana bullish for tokenization wave.
Solana's technical roadmap and upgrades position it well for the tokenization wave, requiring high on-chain throughput. It is one of the few sufficiently decentralized tier-1 blockchains alongside Ethereum, and capital is concentrating there. He is adding to Solana.
