This Update Is Brought To You By Bitbo
We are excited to announce Bitbo’s newest trading chart:

The Mayer Multiple is used for technical analysis in Bitcoin investing.
It is used in order to determine whether Bitcoin is overbought (red), fairly priced (yellow), or undervalued (green).
The Mayer Multiple is calculated by taking the price of Bitcoin and dividing it by the 200 day moving average value.
STAGFLATION FEARS FUEL BITCOIN RALLY
No rate cut. No hike.
Just another Fed hold at 4.25%–4.50%.
But don’t be fooled — this isn’t a nothingburger.
Bitcoin (BTC) is charging past $100K territory, up 2%, and gaining steam.

Why?
Because the real drama isn’t in what the Fed did — it’s in what they fear:
Stagflation = rising inflation + sluggish growth
In their own words: “Uncertainty about the economic outlook has increased further.”

They’re boxed in.
Cut rates? Risk higher inflation
Hike rates? Slam the brakes on growth
That’s exactly the storm that Bitcoin thrives in.
Grayscale’s Zach Pandl nailed it:
“The Fed is worried about stagflation. We think that outcome would be good for Bitcoin.”
Meanwhile, Powell is watching Trump’s new tariffs and says it’s still “not time to cut.”

But here's the kicker:
Truflation data shows real inflation has already collapsed in 2025.
So the Fed’s blind, the market knows it, and Bitcoin is on the move.
This is what it does.
It climbs when confidence cracks. 🚀

BITCOIN TRUMPS ALL
Trump-affiliated crypto adviser David Bailey is taking Bitcoin investing to the next level.
The BTC Inc. CEO has reportedly raised $300 million for a new firm called Nakamoto — a nod to Bitcoin’s mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto — with plans to go public and invest heavily in BTC.
The raise, split between $200 million in equity and $100 million in convertible debt, positions Nakamoto as one of several emerging players attempting to follow in MicroStrategy’s footsteps by converting capital into Bitcoin holdings.
Set to debut on the public markets via a reverse merger with a Nasdaq-listed company, the firm’s announcement is expected in the coming days, according to CNBC.
Bailey declined to comment directly, posting simply “No comment” on X (formerly Twitter).

The timing aligns with a broader resurgence of institutional Bitcoin enthusiasm.
Fellow players like Twenty One Capital — backed by Jack Mallers, Tether, SoftBank, and Cantor Fitzgerald — and Strive Asset Management, founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, have also made recent moves toward becoming Bitcoin treasury firms.

With global ambitions and a stacked advisory board of prominent figures from finance and crypto, Nakamoto could quickly become a major player in Bitcoin finance — just as investor appetite for digital asset exposure returns to the spotlight.

THE BULL CASE FOR THIS MARKET
The bulls and bears are both making noise—but let’s be real: volume doesn’t equal accuracy.
(If that were true, my 3-year-old nephew Jeffrey would be the new Fed chair. He swears the Federal Reserve won’t cut rates this year… clueless!)
So, what’s got the bulls charging right now?
1/ US-China relations are quietly warming up
Just last week, China lifted tariffs on 25% of US imports—a meaningful first move in dialing down the trade war tensions.
2/ Trade talks are back on
US and Chinese officials are scheduled to meet this Friday to discuss trade deals, hinting at a potential reset of global economic cooperation.
3/ Liquidity is on the rise
China just dropped interest rates from 1.5% to 1.4% and cut the bank reserve requirement by 0.5%, pushing more cash into the system and boosting lending.

4/ The Fed might follow China’s lead
If the US economy shows signs of slowing, expect the Federal Reserve to consider rate cuts to keep things moving.
More cuts = more money circulating globally.

All this together? Bulls are looking pretty smart right now…
So why are the bears still growling?
THE BEAR CASE FOR THIS MARKET
Let’s break it down. The current bullish optimism hinges on two things:
The trade war ends.
The Federal Reserve starts printing money again.
Neither of these has actually happened yet. And realistically, they may not any time soon.
So while the sentiment has shifted, the underlying fundamentals remain firmly bearish. Is now really the time to go all-in?
Let’s look at what the institutions are doing – and it’s not exactly bullish behavior: 👇
1. Hedge funds are heavily shorting the market
In April, institutional investors placed more short bets on the stock market than at any point in history – even during COVID.

2. The ‘Coinbase Premium’ has turned negative again
The Coinbase Premium compares the price of Bitcoin ($BTC) on Coinbase Pro to other exchanges.
A positive premium means institutional buying.
A negative premium means they’re selling.
Guess what? It just flipped negative.

3. Trade talks aren’t moving markets
Despite the optimism in headlines, the stock market isn’t reacting. Why not?

The PRO Team’s Take:
“Macroeconomic pressures are still real, especially from tariffs. And while investors want to believe the worst is over, there’s no solid evidence to back it up.
If we don’t get positive economic news soon, expect the markets to head lower.”
That said, some are still buying – but caution is king.
