TWEETS

• BREAKING: Michael Saylor's STRATEGY will raise $2.5 BILLION to buy more bitcoin 🔥(@BTC_Archive, Decrypt)
• JUST IN: $2.5 Trillion Citi Bank predicts Bitcoin could hit $199,000 by the end of the year. 🚀 (@BTC_Archive)

• $BTC Testing its range low and swept the local liquidity. Most of this sell off is coming from Galaxy Digital which has sent $2B+ of Bitcoin to exchanges to sell. This is still part of that 80K BTC whale. The Bitcoin price has stalled ever since those coins started moving. A break down from this range should lead to a retest of ~$113.5K next which could be a decent level to look for if that happens. For now, still in the range but if more coins are going to get sold off that's going to be difficult to hold on to. Personally just chilling waiting for this to blow over. (@DaanCrypto)

• $BTC We were looking for price to take out both of these liquidity clusters at $115K and $120K at some point. We took most of what was sitting below $115K so that's a checkmark there. Bulls still need to make sure to hold on to this local area though. (@DaanCrypto)
