Bitcoin closed above its 200-day moving average for the first time since the bear market began. Every previous time that line broke, the bear market was over.
Scott Melker has been calling this bottom since February. Yesterday a record $3 billion of shorts were liquidated, the largest such event on record, and Bitcoin cleared $71,000. He breaks down the real sequence: Treasury blinking on long-dated bonds was the spark, built-up leverage was the gasoline, and Trump’s White House crypto event arrived after the move, not before it.
Plus a strategic Bitcoin reserve, X exploring stablecoin payouts, Ethereum’s next upgrade, and Stripe buying OpenRouter for $7.8 billion.
