➥ #Bitcoin Tactical Reminder – Mid-July Check-in

Just as mapped out, $BTC tagged the $117K–$118K zone right on time.

That was the exact ceiling projected by the July options strategy I broke down weeks ago.

☒ Now here’s the soft reminder:

We’re max XX days out from the July XX expiry,

aka the final checkpoint before a likely drawdown.

☒ Let’s zoom out:

▸ We’re up ~10% from last month’s range
▸ But the next move has -XX% downside potential
▸ Risk-reward here is completely skewed.

☒ And don’t forget:

✦ CME whales are still camped at $100K and $102.5K
✦ There’s no appetite to break out before September
✦ This period is designed for exit + reload

If you’ve been riding the upside, congrats.

But ask yourself this:

→ Is chasing the last X% pump worth missing the next XX% dump?

Cycles don’t lie, neither do whales.

Play defense + Accumulate later + Attack in September.
