Why it matters

Dragosch describes Bitcoin as a liquidity canary, so its moves may reflect broader market liquidity.
His model puts Bitcoin's fair value at $197,000, a benchmark traders can compare with current prices.
He points to capital rotating out of precious metals, which could matter for gold traders.

What to watch next

Watch for Federal Reserve policy decisions and any signs of recession risk, since these factors were central to the analysis.
