📘 The World According to Martin Armstrong – The ECM never lies
Something historic just happened. And almost nobody noticed.
Last week, crypto funds recorded $4.4 billion in net inflows — the largest one-week inflow ever. Crypto AUM now exceeds $220 billion, with $2.2 billion flowing directly into Bitcoin ETFs.
That’s not retail frenzy — it’s institutional positioning, just as Martin Armstrong’s ECM model predicted: a capital shift out of sovereign debt and into portable, liquid value stores like Bitcoin.
And yet… Bitcoin is still hovering around $118,500. Why?
Because the short squeeze is locked and loaded, but the detonation sequence is still counting down.
🔥 The Real Gamma Setup
Last Friday (July 18): Over $5 billion in BTC and ETH options expired on Deribit, concentrated between $120K–$130K strikes. That cleared out weak hands and reshuffled gamma exposure.
This Friday (July 25): CME Bitcoin futures options expire — a major liquidity event where traditional finance and crypto collide.
If Bitcoin closes convincingly above $120K this week, it will trigger:
Gamma ignition from options dealers
Short liquidation on both centralized and decentralized platforms
A potential melt-up as suppressed longs break loose
And don’t forget: The $250B stablecoin market just got federal clarity — greenlighting even more institutional flow.
All of this matches Armstrong’s thesis of a sovereign confidence crisis, where capital flees government bonds and rotates into alternative hard assets. The ECM always marks the turn. Bitcoin just confirms it.
🧠 What Happens Next?
We could see Bitcoin run to:
$125K (gamma squeeze)
$135K (short liquidation zone)
$150K+ (if momentum and volume align post-expiry)
This isn’t hopium. It’s mechanics, flows, and trust collapse in real time.
“Unlike everything else, Crypto never lies.”
📘 The World According to Martin Armstrong predicted this phase shift — from manipulated markets to algorithmic capital flow.
The ECM never lies. And neither does Bitcoin.
BTC is a LIE. It can be mined the same way the dollar is printed. It can be tracked back to inception. The last and final can kick until total collapse.
