Bitcoin Surges 31.41% in Q2 2025—Here’s What My Wall Street Analytics Team Missed

The Rally That Broke the Model

Bitcoin closed Q2 2025 up 31.41%. I didn’t see this coming—not because I wasn’t looking, but because the models assumed mean reversion would hold. We’d tracked over 18 on-chain targets using Notion: wallet clusters, exchange inflows, cross-chain arbitrage flows—all quieted into visualizations rendered in Bloomberg Terminal blue-on-gold schemes. The data whispered: whales were accumulating, not dumping.

Why This Isn’t Just Noise

The first quarter had dipped 11.82%. That’s normal. But Q2? Three times the volatility of last year. On-chain analytics show clear patterns: large wallets moved $4B+ in aggregate across two weeks. This isn’t speculation—it’s structural flow from DeFi liquidity pools that finally stabilized after LUNA’s collapse in 2022. We learned then to treat noise as signal.

The Jewish Ancestor & The Algorithm

My grandmother taught me: “In markets, patience is a mitzvah.” And my硅谷 mentors said: “Data doesn’t lie if you listen to it.” So here I am—CFA III trained, Python-scripted blockchain analyst—with my Bookshelf holding《证券分析》and《主权个人》side by side like Talmud and Whitepaper.

What Comes Next?

We’re now tracking six new projects from Coinbase Labs’ latest whitepapers—each with embedded on-chain signals that reveal hidden correlation between BTC ETF inflows and stablecoin collateral ratios.
