Hello readers,

MicroStrategy is still buying. Traders remain positioned for further downside. And short liquidations recently spiked to the third-highest level across the last two bear markets.

Meanwhile, BTC remains range-bound, with spot market activity lagging futures.

In this week’s Pro report, we share an update on BTC market structure, the macro/liquidity setup, and details on portfolio management strategy, nearly 7 months into the bear market.

The DeFi Report is powered by Galaxy: helping the world invest, build, and transform — relentlessly.

With GalaxyOne Staking, you can earn up to an estimated 6.50% in variable staking rewards with 0% platform commission through 2026*. While other platforms can charge up to 35% in commission, GalaxyOne charges 0% through the rest of the year. Other fees may apply, see terms.

Let’s go.
