\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKey Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n

BTC is struggling with weak ETF inflows and macro headwinds. Eric Trump\u2019s \u201cdip\u201d call echoes halving-year rallies but lacks strong confirmation, making it a risky bet.<\/p>\n

Eric Trump just told followers to \u201cbuy the dip<\/a>,\u201d but should anyone really be paying attention?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Timing-wise, it\u2019s interesting. His call lands right as Bitcoin [BTC]<\/a> nukes below the $117k-$120k chop zone, printing a clean 3.76% drawdown over the last three daily candles.<\/p>\n

But zoom out to the monthly chart, and August\u2019s hit rate isn\u2019t great.<\/p>\n

A losing month with rare outliers<\/strong><\/p>\n

BTC\u2019s been red in 60% of the last 12 Augusts. It\u2019s typically a post-runoff month, often fading July\u2019s strength as bid depth thins out across majors.<\/p>\n

That said, one key divergence stands out on closer inspection.<\/p>\n

In 2013, 2017, and 2021, BTC ripped double-digit gains in August. The common thread? All were post-halving years.<\/p>\n

These are cycles where Issuance<\/a> fell 50%, and supply-side overhangs thin out.<\/p>\n

Structurally, that means less BTC hitting the tape at a time when risk appetite often rotates back in. In that context, is Eric Trump\u2019s call more than just speculation?<\/p>\n

Could BTC\u2019s August mirror previous halving years?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Historically, Eric Trump\u2019s crypto calls have been hit or miss.<\/p>\n

Case in point: The 25th of February. His tweet<\/a> landed as BTC was base-building around $90k, and the price squeezed 6.6% higher over the next four sessions.<\/p>\n

But the move lacked follow-through. Momentum faded fast, and BTC reversed hard, dumping $77k in a single week as cascading liquidations flushed millions in leveraged longs.<\/p>\n

On top of that, BTC ETFs printed their worst quarterly outflows<\/a> yet, roughly $800 million out the door. That\u2019s the biggest bleed since February\u2019s unwind, when outflows crossed $1 billion.<\/p>\n

Macro\u2019s not helping either. Unlike previous cycles, this one\u2019s clouded by tariff overhang, sticky labor prints, and zero clarity on a Fed pivot, dragging on overall risk appetite.<\/p>\n

Consequently, $120k is shaping up as a local top. With weak inflows and macro pressure building<\/a>, the usual post-halving August squeeze looks unlikely, making Eric Trump\u2019s \u201cbuy the dip\u201d call a risky bet.<\/p>\n
