Bitcoin's surge from January 10th finally has clarity—but not for the reasons most assume. The rally wasn't fueled by a sudden wave of institutional capital flowing in. It wasn't sparked by another celebrity endorsement either. And contrary to popular theory, the Fed's policy shift didn't trigger this move alone. So what actually drove BTC higher? Understanding the real catalysts behind these price movements matters more than chasing the obvious narratives. The market moves on fundamentals that often hide beneath the surface-level headlines.

Here we go again with this set? Every time, it's all about "deep fundamentals," but what happens? When it rises, everyone jumps on the bandwagon saying it makes sense; when it falls, they blame macroeconomics.

nah tbh the "real catalysts" angle is just another lazy narrative—if you actually analyze the mempool data and priority fee differentials from that period, the price action was demonstrably driven by specific on-chain accumulation patterns, not whatever surface-level cope people are peddling. most miss this bc they don't bother looking at transaction throughput metrics 🤷
