Binance, that grand gaming table where fortunes are tossed like confetti, reveals a curious game of chess between spot prices and funding rates. Ah, early 2026! A year where the market, cloaked in the guise of substance, leans upon the volatile waltz of spot buyers rather than the pyric feats of derivative leverage. Such a setup-a tapestry of tempered risk-suggests the death of the lemming herd, yet the faintest echo of their suicidal jumps still haunts the charts. A spot-led rally, they claim, is but a polite gathering of buyers, sipping champagne in the ballroom of hope.

In case you were wondering, Strategy shares tumbled to $161, barely above the crucial support level of $149.75-the lowest it’s been all year. This is a 70% drop from its all-time high, proving once again that what goes up must come down, preferably while I’m not watching.

And what does this mean in terms of cold hard cash? A whopping $60 billion worth of staked SOL! That’s more money than I could lose in my entire lifetime of investing!

He posits, with the utmost confidence befitting a man with a crystal ball, that the ratio of the S&P 100 to the S&P 500 may have reached its zenith by year-end. One might chuckle at the thought-dare we hope for a more egalitarian distribution of market prowess?

Thorn, with the gravitas of a prophet, declares: “A death cross, nay, a death cross! And yet, the crowd claps, thinking it a parade!”

Though the chart now boasts a breach of a noble technical level, the question of genuine demand lingers like an uninvited guest at a feast-unseen yet undeniably present.
