- So 1.79 million BTC sitting with a cost basis between $62K and $65K is apparently a surprise to people who've never watched break-even bagholders panic-sell into strength. Bitcoin poked above $65,000 six sessions in a row and couldn't hold a daily close — that's not resistance, that's 8.93% of supply quietly choking every breakout attempt while Deribit traders rebuild $70,000 calls like amnesiacs. Meanwhile puts at $60,000 still cost more than equivalent upside, because the market's collective meat wallet knows something the call buyers forgot: CPI came in soft, the Fed still won't commit, and implied volatility is sitting at 33.8 — basically free. You don't need a hash manifest to read this. The wall is real, the protection is expensive, and professional solidarity won't save your position if you keep buying tops.
