FIVE THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE DUMPED BITCOIN BELOW $50K. NONE OF THEM DID.
The last two months delivered: Saylor selling, Coldcard wallets drained, US-Iran escalation, yen intervention, and Clarity getting delayed.
That's five reasons to dump, spread across supply, security, geopolitics, macro and regulation.
Bitcoin went sideways and held above $60,000.
Markets fall on bad news when there are still people left to sell. This one had five chances and didn't take any of them.
Bad news everywhere you look. That's what bottoms sound like. Tops sound like everyone agreeing it goes higher.
This is the part where you DCA. Not the part where you wait.

AI Reasoning
Post argues BTC is at a bottom and instructs readers to DCA, implying an up call. No explicit price targets are given ($50K and $60,000 are historical/context references, not predicted destinations). Tone is confident but framed via inference ('that's what bottoms sound like') rather than a hard declarative price call, so mild_hedge.
Duration reasoning
Outcome = BTC moves up from a bottom. No explicit horizon attached to the outcome. 'This is the part where you DCA' with 'bad news everywhere... that's what bottoms sound like' is active accumulation language (Signal E) paired with a macro bottom-call framing, pushing toward the 60-day bucket.
