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

ETF demand has altered Bitcoin's rhythm, but not investor psychology.

Flows tend to follow price more than they lead it, which is why reading them as a verdict so often misleads. The plumbing has changed; the behaviour running through it hasn't. Today that leaves Bitcoin cheaper than 79% of its history regardless of the tape.
