About this byline
Tommy Shelbi is the Lead Crypto Analyst at Newsgaged, specializing in technical analysis, volume profile, and macroeconomic liquidity cycles. Active in the cryptocurrency markets since 2018, Tommy has navigated multiple major market cycles — from the depths of the 2018 crypto winter and the historic 2021 bull run to the FTX and Luna collapses of 2022 and beyond. This hands-on experience informs a disciplined, structure-first approach: every piece is built around observable price levels, official disclosures, and practical “what to watch” framing rather than prediction theater. At Newsgaged, Tommy focuses on translating complex derivatives data, funding rates, and open interest shifts into clear, actionable context for readers tracking Bitcoin’s macro trajectory.
