What’s the plan for today?

$SOL is building a massive bullish structure on the monthly chart.
Price is compressing between rising support and a major horizontal resistance.
Meanwhile, RSI is approaching a key trendline breakout.
A confirmed breakout could open the door to Solana’s next major rally.

What if buying more Bitcoin actually makes a Bitcoin treasury company less attractive to its shareholders?
Sounds contradictory, but K33 Research’s latest analysis of Strategy raises exactly this problem.
@Strategy holds 848,250 BTC.
But K33 modeled an alternative capital structure where Strategy would hold 843,303 BTC without aggressively expanding its STRC preferred-stock program.

Guys, I’m preparing to open a large short position here: $TIA .
Take profit: $0.596 Stop loss: $0.696 Look at the candle near the top. Price broke sharply above the range, with the wick pushing even higher and sweeping up a lot of shorts there.

The uptrend in $TIA has punished the shorts. Now I think the market

$SIREN and $AGT
Sell-off alert 🚨📉Siren is dumping hard, just as predicted 💯💯💯Keep using a trailing stop to lock in profits.
