I find myself cackling on the phone as Steve Johnson, 72, wades through his basement in the Atlanta suburbs, describing “all the crap” his four adult children have left behind. There are vinyl records, Braves bobble-heads, Pink Floyd posters, a drum, guitar stands, books, mounds of CDs. “Is this a picture of Bob Marley? Oh my God. Bob Marley is in my basement still,” Johnson says, one of half a dozen exclamations invoking the Almighty’s name during our conversation. His daughter’s old exercise ball gets an audible, “Ugh.” The camping gear from his kids’ festival days gets another, “Oh my…

Bitcoin’s on-chain pain gauge eases but hasn’t cleared the runway yet, and that, according to one popular analyst, is the kind of thing traders should watch if they’re hunting for a bottom. “Bitcoin $BTC usually recovers once the on-chain trader loss margin drops below -37%.

Crypto market sentiment is finally starting to stabilize. Bitcoin is finding support above the $90,000 level, and interestingly, traders now appear more constructive than they were earlier this month, even when BTC was still holding above $100,000. The shift highlights how quickly sentiment resets once excess leverage is flushed out. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index reflects this improvement as well.
