💎 BOTTOM LINE CRYPTO OUTLOOK

The Setup: Classic consolidation after massive rally. Fear readings, negative funding, and "broken" charts suggest capitulation phase ending. Smart money accumulating while retail panics.

The Catalyst: Fed rate cut virtually locked (87% probability) = liquidity injection for risk assets. Historically, crypto leads equities post-Fed pivot.

The Trade: Accumulate quality (BTC/ETH/SOL) on dips. This pullback is a gift before the next leg higher. September weakness = October explosion.

Risk Level: MEDIUM-HIGH. Manage position sizes. Use stops. Don't leverage into uncertainty.

Remember: When charts look ugliest and sentiment is darkest, that's when generational wealth is made. The brave are buying what the fearful are selling.

"Fortune favors the prepared mind in crypto winter.
