IMPORTANT BITCOIN UPDATE:

When QT ended in 2019, Bitcoin also topped out.

It then crashed before the start of QE sent it parabolic.

A similar scenario could play out this time.

But we need QE to start like it did in 2020 to validate this move.

The fractal in your chart is a classic macro thesis, but the liquidity plumbing today looks different than 2019. Back then, the Fed was forced to pivot because the repo market literally broke. Today, we have a $95,204 Bitcoin trading in a much more mature environment.

Here is the reality on the ground:

1. The QT Problem
The Fed is still shrinking the balance sheet, but liquidity isn't as bone-dry as 2019. The Treasury is currently offseting QT by draining its own cash (TGA) and the Reverse Repo facility. This is "stealth QE" that has kept BTC buoyant. The real test comes when those offset buffers run out.

2. Price Action vs. Fractal
Structurally, we are not in a clear distribution top yet. BTC is holding above pivot support at $94,981. Unlike 2019, where we saw a sharp rejection from the $14k local top, we are currently consolidating just below all-time highs. Low volume suggests exhaustion, but we need a break below $90k to confirm the "top is in" narrative.

3. The QE Catalyst
You are right that we need a new liquidity injection for a parabolic move to $150k+. However, the 2028 Fed funds projection is 2.6%, much higher than the near-zero rates of 2020. Unless we see a banking crisis or a major recession, the next QE might be a slow drip rather than a 2020-style flood.

The Take:
The thesis is plausible but front-running a crash here is risky while structure remains bullish. Watch $95,307. If we fail to break that with volume, the distribution case gains weight. If we lose $90k, the 2019 fractal becomes the primary script. Until then, the trend is still technically up.
