Bitcoin Bull Market Guide: When to Hold, Trim, or Re-Enter (Webinar)

In late 2022, Bitcoin fell into the $16,000 range amid the fallout from the FTX scandal. At the time, credible institutional buy calls were nowhere to be found, as Wall Street largely stayed on the sidelines.

Fast forward to today—Bitcoin now trades more than 600% above its 2022 lows, and a flood of institutional optimism has now entered the news cycle. Analysts and money managers are now calling for another doubling in price before year-end.

Market sentiment has always been a potent force. History shows that the most enthusiastic bullish narratives tend to emerge when prices are stretched, while more cautious takes often surface near market bottoms ,and this cycle is no different.

Throughout Bitcoin’s history, the I/O Fund has continued to distinguish itself with timely, accurate Bitcoin analysis dating back to 2019. While others chased the 2021 frenzy with $200,000 to $500,000 price targets, we remained disciplined—scaling back crypto exposure by half to secure profits. Later, when Bitcoin revisited the $16,000 region, we issued a Strong Buy Alert to our free subscribers, which was subsequently picked up by Tier 1 media.

Our track record is not the product of hype but of a systematic framework—one built on technical analysis, on-chain metrics, and a close watch on global liquidity conditions. Today, this very process is flashing warning signs, which has us, once again, going against the popular narratives, as we have begun the process of taking gains in Bitcoin and reducing risk.

Because of the warnings that our system is picking up on, the I/O Fund partnered with WealthUmbrella to release a free one-hour webinar outlining these risks as well as what we want to see to confirm a potential path higher from here. The presentation details the forces that move Bitcoin, along with the risk management techniques that enabled us to sidestep the 2021 top and re-enter near the 2022 low.  

Below are a few highlights from the presentation:  

In the below clip, Knox Ridley highlights the unique nature of Bitcoin’s price movements and how the I/O Fund manages risk in a market where narrative-based investing does not work. Since Bitcoin lacks traditional fundamentals, we rely on an original process designed specifically for crypto  — one that has allowed us to repeatedly identify both tops and bottoms. 

Though classic fundamental analysis does not apply to Bitcoin, there is a unique set of data points that can be analyzed to help determine the health of Bitcoins’ trend. This type of analysis is called on-chain analysis, which is explained in the below Clip, by Vincent Duchaine of WealthUmbrella.
