Three Factors Are Triggering Bitcoin Price ‘Stagnation’ – According to Macro Guru Lyn Alden
Macro analyst Lyn Alden says Bitcoin (BTC) is stuck in a period of stagnation as several forces weigh on market enthusiasm.
In a new interview on the What Bitcoin Did podcast, Alden says three main factors are behind the stall.
“The fact that we were $100,000 in November of last year and after a year we’re basically flat and now we’re down to some extent, that’s the more noteworthy item. I don’t really view Bitcoin as crashing. I view it as basically stagnating at this time.”
Alden says liquidity conditions are tighter this month, which removes support from risk assets.
“We do have tighter liquidity now, but when you look at broader measures of liquidity, they’re really not that bad and I don’t expect them to get that bad. I think we’re in the bottoming phase for domestic base liquidity and broader liquidity is mostly fine.”
A second drag, she says, is the surge in investor attention toward artificial intelligence (AI), which is absorbing capital that might otherwise be invested in BTC.
“It’s AI potentially sucking some kind of capital enthusiasm away from Bitcoin as the fastest horse narrative.”
She adds that gold’s strong performance this year is also competing for flows.
Alden says a third factor is the deflation of earlier expectations that nation-states would become major Bitcoin accumulators.
She points to a wave of early-year optimism in podcasts and interviews about sovereign Bitcoin reserves, which she calls misplaced.

This Exclusive Cayman Getaway Tastes As Good As It Feels
The post This Exclusive Cayman Getaway Tastes As Good As It Feels appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. 1OAK’s Sand Soleil sits on Grand Cayman’s iconic Seven Mile Beach 1OAK Exhausted and professionally burnt out, I arrived at 1OAK’s Sand Soleil in search of the type of restoration that could still my mind and get me writing again. The seven-day culinary experience was a no-brainer for me as a food writer. The integration of an epicurean getaway with pure Cayman luxury seemed to be the perfect spark for my creativity—private chef dinners, deep dives into Caribbean flavors, and hands-on masterclasses, all located within a serene, oceanfront villa. I had finally arrived. With the last rays of the sun setting behind Grand Cayman’s famous Seven Mile Beach, casting a warm golden glow across the water, I tasted Chef Joe Hughes’ ceviche for the first time—cubes of wahoo cured in lime, with charred pineapple and a subtle, nutty crunch. Chef Joe Hughes’ love for bright, Asian-inspired flavours came through in this wahoo tataki layered with Vietnamese herbs, ripe papaya and mango, cashew and cilantro, all brought together with a nuoc cham. Jamie Fortune Something softened. For the first time in months, I began to feel present. Sophia List, the brainchild of the 1OAK experience, heard me well. With an intuition honed by years of curating luxury, she matched me with what she called “a vision realized.” List told me Sand Soleil—like the other 1OAK homes on Seven Mile Beach and in West Bay—was created to feel like a real sanctuary. For her, it’s the laid-back alternative to a busy hotel, a place where you get privacy and elegance without any fuss. “We wanted to introduce the Cayman Islands to something truly special—an ultra-luxury experience that combines exquisite design, maximum privacy, and a sense of calm,” she shared as she guided me through the four-bedroom villa. “We are so excited to…

How Pros Buy Bitcoin Dips With DCA Like Institutions
The post How Pros Buy Bitcoin Dips With DCA Like Institutions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “Buy every dip.” That’s the advice from Strike CEO Jack Mallers. According to Mallers, with quantitative tightening over and rate cuts and stimulus on the horizon, the great print is coming. The US can’t afford falling asset prices, he argues, which translates into a giant wall of liquidity ready to muscle in and prop prices up. While retail has latched onto terms like “buy the dip” and “dollar-cost averaging” (DCA) for buying at market lows or making regular purchases, these are really concepts borrowed from the pros like Samar Sen, the senior vice president and head of APAC at Talos, an institutional digital asset trading platform. He says that institutional traders have used these terms for decades to manage their entry points into the market and build exposure gradually, while avoiding emotional decision-making in volatile markets. Source: Jack Mallers Related: Cryptocurrency investment: The ultimate indicators for crypto trading How institutions buy the dip Treasury companies like Strategy and BitMine have become poster children for institutions buying the dip and dollar-cost averaging (DCA) at scale, steadfastly vacuuming up coins every chance they get. Strategy stacked another 130 Bitcoin (BTC) on Monday, while the insatiable Tom Lee scooped up $150 million of Ether (ETH) on Thursday, prompting Arkham to post, “Tom Lee is DCAing ETH.” But while it may look like the smart money is glued to the screen reacting to every market downturn, the reality is quite different. Institutions don’t use the retail vocabulary, Samar explains, but the underlying ideas of disciplined accumulation, opportunistic rebalancing and staying insulated from short-term noise are very much present in how they engage with assets like Bitcoin. The core difference, he points out, is in how they execute those ideas. While retail investors are prone to react to headlines and price charts, institutional desks rely…
