Strategy Didn't Buy More Bitcoin This Week—And That May Be the Most Important Signal Investors Received.
Whenever Strategy releases an update, the market usually focuses on one question: How much Bitcoin did the company buy?
This time, the answer was none.
Instead, Strategy directed its capital toward something many investors overlooked—its own preferred stock. While the move may appear small compared with the company's massive Bitcoin holdings, it reveals how management is thinking about value in today's market.
Between July 20 and July 26, Strategy repurchased

"Crypto is risky"
Meanwhile:

Just finished watching a bearish move; while many people are still waiting for a rebound, I feel that this spot looks more and more like it’s setting up the shorts. $MAV was pumped a few times at the top, but there never was continuous follow-through. When the price approached the upper area, it got pushed back down—there’s a very clear lack of momentum in the rebound.
When the intraday plunge happened, I placed a long entry around 0.01362. The cue was simple at the time: don’t get lured in by a brief burst of red candles. If the volume can’t keep up and selling pressure releases, the pullback

$BTC Cup & Handle Projection
1hr cup and handle pattern with potential to push price action up towards $65,278.
That would also push price back over the 1hr 200MA.
Be careful in that area I'll be looking for reversal signals.
Could see 1 more rejection around that area.
They are not going to make this easy.
Explosive squeeze to $75K-$82.6K is possible.

This time it wasn’t a sudden surge—it was a step-by-step wearing down of weakness at the high levels. A few days ago in the afternoon, $BTC kept wobbling back and forth above; the price kept probing but never held steady. The moment there was the slightest rebound, the selling pressure immediately caught up—like the chart was being pressed down by a hand.
I looked at how BTC behaved around 76886.0. The key wasn’t whether it could run up, but whether anyone would step in and take when it went higher. The result was very clear: the buy side didn’t follow through, the rebound was weak, and the lo

Many opportunities don’t appear suddenly; they slowly form when nobody is paying attention. During that phase when the price kept churning back and forth, I was constantly watching to see whether the strength of the rebound had truly increased.

Several times the push higher was pulled back, and the buy-side didn’t keep up; instead, it gave the shorts room to regain momentum. So I chose to execute the short once the tempo weakened, without arguing with the order book over and over.

The entry price for the position was 32.26. Now it has come to 30.87, and the return rate shown is +84.22%. Th
