It should be noted that gold made an all-time high, while Bitcoin pulled back. This is the low correlation in action, and I suspect that Bitcoin will pick up when the gold rally slows.

The current cycle sees 164,250 BTC mined each year. The ETFs have purchased 349,600 BTC over the same period. Add in the demand from treasury companies, and it seems the OGs have been selling. Bitcoin ETFs are about to go international from 8 October as they list in London. I suspect a rally will begin before D Day.
