Today's Historical Context
Closest match: Jun 2022 · 86% similar

Today most closely resembles Jun 2022. The resemblance isn't the date — it's the setup: a similar position in the cycle, a comparable drawdown from the high, and a attractive valuation backdrop. What followed then is context, not a forecast.

If history rhymes, today deserves attention — not because it predicts tomorrow, but because environments this cheap have historically been uncommon.

The Research Desk

It's tempting to read negative flows as a verdict. They're usually just an echo.

Flows follow price more than they lead it. Bitcoin is trading cheaper than 77% of its history regardless — and the gap between a cheap setup and a fearful tape is usually where the interesting decisions get made.
