Mike stays risk off (80 percent cash) while he watches for the signals that would force a pivot, falling real yields, a dovish Fed, and Bitcoin reclaiming key levels. We also break down where we are in the market cycle, why a counter rally could be a trap, and what Mike’s $65K fair value target implies for positioning this year.----TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro1:10 Setup for 20265:54 Macro & Liquidity Setup8:46 2022 Comparison 11:40 U.S. Liquidity Cycle Insights13:20 Bitcoin & Interest Rates16:34 Labor Market Insights18:49 Real Estate Trends21:04 Midterm Year Implications23:30 Asset Allocation Cycle26:18 Crypto Cycle Analysis29:38 Transition Phase in Crypto34:23 Geopolitical X Factor37:12 Closing & Disclaimers----Not financial or tax advice.

In this episode, we explain why “QE light” is not real easing, the key indicators Mike needs before flipping risk on, and what Bitcoin’s onchain market structure suggests about where this cycle could go next.----📣THE DEFI REPORT | FOLLOW & SUBSCRIBEhttps://thedefireport.transistor.fm/https://thedefireport.io/https://x.com/the_defi_reporthttps://x.com/JustDeauIt----TIMESTAMPS0:00 Introduction to the DeFi Report2:28 Current Market Positioning9:25 Federal Reserve's Actions Explained13:13 Economic Conditions & Predictions18:35 Big Picture of Economic Strategy23:17 Analyzing Bitcoin's Market Structure29:57 Closing & Future Outlook----Not financial or tax advice.
