Digital Asset Commentary

Bitcoin prices edged lower over the weekend following news of a US strike on multiple Iranian nuclear facilities. Traders had already begun adopting a risk-off stance ahead of the news, with BTC’s price action forming a potential bearish reversal pattern, marked by lower highs and lower lows after a series of extreme peaks. A bearish crossover between the 10-day and 50-day moving averages (MAs) on the daily chart adds to the short-term downside bias. If the current range breaks down, especially during this seasonally weak period, BTC could fall toward the mid-to-low $90ks, where the 20-week MA resides, an important support level in bullish trends. To invalidate the bearish outlook, BTC would need to reclaim the previous horizontal support at $104k and post a new high above $106.5k.

Despite bearish technical signals, corporate BTC treasury announcements continue to accelerate globally. In addition to the ongoing aggressive accumulation by MicroStrategy and Metaplanet, several other major players have emerged in the past week. These include ProCap Financial, which has raised over $750M to strategically acquire BTC; French semiconductor firm Sequans, announcing a $384M BTC initiative; and Norwegian mineral miner Green Minerals, which is pursuing a $1.2B financing plan tied to BTC exposure.

Alt coins have significantly underperformed BTC since its 2022 low, as reflected in BTC dominance recently reaching a cycle high of 65%. Most alt coins are down 25–50% year-to-date, with only a handful in positive territory. Fundamentally, alt coins struggle to keep pace with Bitcoin due to higher token emissions, intense competition, and often ambiguous use cases, all while competing for the same pool of developers, users, and capital. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has solidified its position as digital gold and pristine collateral with no credible challengers. Historically, alt coins have only outperformed in environments of low interest rates, aggressive stimulus, and quantitative easing, which tend to fuel increased investor risk appetite.
