In the grand theater of finance, Bitcoin’s performance is nothing short of a melodrama. After a modest stumble-a mere trip on the red carpet of expectations-it has rebounded with the grace of a prima donna, trading above $92,000. The reasons, my dear reader, are as layered as a Victorian novel: technical breakouts, institutional whispers, and a dash of reduced selling pressure. Even skepticism, that eternal companion, seems to be taking a backseat-for now. 🎭

Meanwhile, the whales-those mysterious crypto leviathans-have been shedding their balances like a Kardashian sheds husbands. 🚨 Warning: This rally might hit a few speed bumps, or as I like to call them, “emotional support dips.”

Ce mouvement démontre, ô combien ironique, que les cryptomarchés suivent les indices boursiers comme un mouton suit une girouette, malgré les frictions géopolitiques. 🤷‍♂️

Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, was trading at $163.25, up modestly from this year’s low of $155. It remains ~70% below its all-time high. (Because who needs a good day when you can have a modest increase? 😂)

This particular golden cross is the first of its kind in 2026, which is either a miracle or a glitch in the Matrix. Either way, it’s been joined by its shorter-sighted cousins on the one-hour and two-hour charts, as if the entire family of golden crosses just threw a party and forgot to invite the bears. 🎉

In a move that would make even the Joads proud, Strategy Inc., the Bitcoin barnacle, has announced it’s clinging tighter to its digital gold. With 673,783 BTC in its vault and $2.25 billion in cash, they’re prepared for both the dust bowl and the digital frontier. Between January 1 and 4, they scooped up 1,283 more bitcoins, because why not?

Key Takeaways (or as we like to call them, the “Clacks”):
