Saylor is Back in the Market

Hello readers,

BTC is up 16.6% since the war in Iran started. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq is down 1%, and Gold is down 4.2%.

As this plays out, a new (large) buyer has entered the market. Michael Saylor is back. And he just purchased 40k BTC ($2.9b). It’s material. And something we’ve yet to see in a bear market.

In this week’s report, we examine the current setup across macro and BTC market structure, wrapping with a brief note on HYPE.
