Michael Saylor sent a short, cryptic message on X on November 2, 2025: “Orange is the color of November.” The post included a chart tied to Strategy’s (formerly MicroStrategy) Bitcoin tracker. Reports have disclosed that crypto outlets and market watchers quickly read the line as a hint at another corporate Bitcoin buy. Related Reading: Forget Billions—XRP Could Hit Trillions, Leading Expert Says Bitcoin Buy: Orange Dot Signals According To screenshots and media coverage, the post echoed past Saylor posts that used orange imagery to flag Bitcoin moves. Some outlets called it a tease for a 13th straight purchase by Strategy. That description comes from reporters tracking the firm’s buying pattern, not from an official Strategy statement. The tweet did not lay out timing or dollar amounts. Strategy Holdings And Recent Buys Based on reports and filings summarized in market coverage, Strategy currently holds roughly 640,808 BTC, with an average cost basis near $74,302 per coin. The company’s last disclosed acquisition was about 390 BTC, which market trackers put at roughly $43 million. Those figures come from public disclosures and tracking services that follow corporate treasury buys. Orange is the color of November. pic.twitter.com/M3JoIuDpRk — Michael Saylor (@saylor) November 2, 2025 Market Reactions And Risks Traders reacted fast. Some buyers pushed prices higher on the idea that another corporate buyer was about to enter the market. Others sold into the noise, treating the tweet as a signal that might not immediately lead to a trade. Headlines linking the post to other big political or economic events—such as reporting on US President Donald Trump—appeared in a few outlets, but analysts say such connections are speculative unless tied to filings or on-chain moves. Why Watch For Filings Based on past practice, Strategy tends to file disclosures after completing purchases. That pattern makes regulatory filings and on-chain addresses worth watching for anyone tracking actual flows. If a fresh 8-K appears or a wallet tied to the company posts movement, that will turn rumor into confirmed action. Until then, the market runs on interpretation and expectation. What This Means For Investors For holders, corporate accumulation often serves as a sentiment boost. For short-term traders, it raises volatility. Institutional watchers will be looking not only for more purchases but also for any change in scale. The company’s large stake—hundreds of thousands of BTC at a multi-thousand dollar average—means that public buys or sales have the power to move sentiment. Related Reading: XRP’s Next Earthquake: Billions Set To Flow In, ‘Supply Shock’ Coming—Analyst What To Watch Next Based on reports, the clearest signs to watch are regulatory filings, updates from Strategy itself, and on-chain transfers tied to known company addresses. Market data providers who tracked the last 390 BTC purchase will likely flag any new movement quickly. Until those items appear, the tweet remains a strong hint but not proof of an imminent large purchase. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Amid the market pullback, Solana (SOL) has hit a new local low after its price fell below a crucial support level for the first time in months. Some analysts have suggested that the altcoin is in a healthy retest of a key area, but others warned that the cryptocurrency risks another major correction if the current levels are also lost. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bull Run: Over Or Just Paused? CryptoQuant CEO Presents The Data Solana Risks 30% Correction On Monday, Solana recorded an 8.3% drop after losing the lower boundary of its three-month range. The cryptocurrency has been trading within the $175-$250 levels after the August breakout, hitting a multi-month high of $253 during the September rally. Since then, the altcoin has retraced nearly 35% to the current levels and failed to successfully reclaim the $200 psychological barrier despite multiple attempts. Following the early October correction, when SOL dropped to $168, the price has repeatedly retested the $170-$180 mark as support, bouncing from this area each time. Nonetheless, the recent market volatility, which sent Bitcoin (BTC) back to the $107,000 mark, has dragged Solana below its crucial support zone to a new local low of $165. Amid this performance, some analysts have suggested that SOL’s pullback may not be over, as the price risks another major correction. Analyst Ali Martinez highlighted the cryptocurrency’s macro range between $100-$260, emphasizing that Solana must reclaim $200 to show strength and potentially target the range highs. He previously affirmed that a confirmed breakdown from the $180 level would set the stage for further losses. Per the chart, the next support level sits around the $158 area, which marks the mid-zone of the macro range and a key support and resistance level throughout the early Q3 run and Last November’s breakout. However, the analyst considers that the next crucial support actually “sits much lower.” As he explained, if Solana fails to bounce from the current levels and reclaim $180, it could face a 30% pullback to $115. Meanwhile, analyst DonAlt affirmed that “It’s probably wise to have a bearish bias between here and $210 and then aggressively flip if SOL manages to flip the $210 resistance.” Investor Bet On SOL’s Long-Term Performance Despite the bearish outlooks, some have suggested that SOL is “showing a clean retest setup” within its long-term support. Trader Elite Crypto considers that SOL’s recent pullback “looks like a healthy correction after months of upward movement.” He noted that the cryptocurrency is still holding a major ascending support zone that has served as a crucial bounce point since 2023. Based on this, the market watcher expects Solana’s price to retest the $158 area before the next leg up. “Overall, I am still bullish on SOL,” he affirmed. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley suggested a bullish long-term performance for the leading altcoin. In an X post, he highlighted that the asset management firm “opened a bridge to Solana for many investors” with its recently launched SOL Staked Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). Related Reading: Is Crypto ‘Boring’ Now? Bitwise CEO Says The Market Is Changing Notably, the second wave of crypto-based ETFs started trading last week, with the SOL-based investment product recording $400 million of inflows on its first four days. According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, it led “all crypto ETPs by a country mile in weekly flows.” Horsley highlighted that “ETF investors tend to be long term oriented,” signaling that the cryptocurrency is expected to have an overall bullish performance in the future despite the current price action. As of this writing, SOL is trading at $167, a 17% decline in the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

The price is now trading below $2.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.30 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.250.

BNB appears to be regaining strength after a brief pause, with bulls showing signs of renewed intent. Despite a weak Wave (5) formation, the broader uptrend remains intact, and momentum is quietly building. If the push continues, the next major test lies near the $1,300 zone — a level that could define BNB’s bullish chapter. Wave (5) Weakness Signals Possible Completion Of The Bounce Providing an update to a previous post on BNB, More Crypto Online highlighted that the recent bounce visible on the chart may now be nearing its completion phase. While price action initially appeared promising, momentum has started to weaken, raising questions about the sustainability of the upward move. Related Reading: BNB Reclaims $1,100 As Binance Founder Receives Presidential Pardon – New Rally Coming? According to the analyst, Wave (5) in the current structure looks relatively weak, which could indicate that buying pressure is fading. This development may point to the market preparing for a potential retracement or sideways movement before establishing a clearer direction. More Crypto Online emphasized the importance of staying flexible at this point, as market structure remains uncertain. Despite the recent bounce, there’s still no clear indication that the broader Wave 4 pullback has concluded. Until confirmation appears, the possibility of another downward move within the corrective phase cannot be ruled out. Despite the short-term uncertainty, the analyst maintained a positive long-term outlook, stating that the overall uptrend remains intact on the higher timeframe, as long as key structural supports hold firm. Breakout Builds Strength — Bulls Target The $1,230–$1,300 Zone According to a recent update by crypto analyst BitGuru, BNB’s price action is showing early signs of renewed strength, with buyers gradually stepping back into the market. The recent upward movement suggests growing confidence among traders after a period of consolidation. Related Reading: BNB Price Retreats After Rally — More Downside Risks On The Horizon In his post, BitGuru outlined that if this breakout gains traction, BNB could climb toward the $1,230–$1,300 range in the next bullish leg. Such a move would signal a continuation of the broader uptrend and potentially attract more momentum-driven participants. He further emphasized the importance of monitoring the current price action closely, noting that momentum is steadily building. As of the time of writing, BNB has recorded a 6% decline in the past 24 hours, currently trading around $1,027. This drop reflects a cooling phase after recent bullish attempts, as traders assess short-term market conditions. The token’s market capitalization now stands at approximately $141.34 billion, positioning it among the top-performing assets despite the temporary pullback. Meanwhile, the 24-hour trading volume of $2.85 billion indicates active participation across exchanges. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

As the new month began, the Bitcoin price opened on a downward trend, slipping below its consolidation range amid rising uncertainty and bearish sentiment in the market. Nevertheless, analysts are identifying a collection of indicators suggesting that a bullish resurgence for the cryptocurrency could be on the horizon. What’s Fueling BTC’s Potential Surge This November? According to experts at The Bull Theory, November is poised to be the most bullish month of the year for Bitcoin, and the supporting numbers are quite compelling. Historically, November has been one of the strongest months not only for US equities but also for the Bitcoin price. For stocks, it consistently ranks as a top-performing month, while Bitcoin has historically recorded some of its most significant rallies during this time, averaging gains between 40% and 42%. What sets this November apart, however, are the underlying factors at play. Related Reading: Solana Price Drops Below $180 Despite $199M ETF Inflows, What’s Behind the Decline? One of the primary catalysts identified by the analysts is the anticipated end of the US government shutdown, which is expected to conclude this month. While this may seem like a political issue, its financial implications are substantial. They assert that the resumption of government spending means “billions of dollars” will start flowing back into contractors, projects, and public sectors. This return to fiscal spending acts as a mini liquidity injection into the economy. Historically, such movements of money have had a positive effect on risk assets, including equities and cryptocurrencies, as capital begins to rotate from the real economy into the financial system. Another significant factor is the planned ramp-up of corporate buybacks. Within the next few weeks, many major companies are expected to restart their buyback programs. This creates new demand in equities at a time when liquidity is improving, which historically has pushed stock indices higher. Given that cryptocurrencies often track global liquidity cycles, this corporate-driven demand could similarly benefit the crypto market. Bitcoin Price To Reach $160,000? Additionally, the Federal Reserve (Fed) has quietly re-entered the scene, as evidenced by a spike in daily overnight repo loans, which reached $29.4 billion—the highest level in nearly five years. This significant borrowing indicates that banks are short on dollars and are relying heavily on the Fed. Such activity typically signals stress in the short-term funding market. Related Reading: Pundit Elaborates On Ripple/SWIFT Theory That Will Send The XRP Price To $1,000 Historically, when repo activity surges, the Fed tends to inject liquidity to stabilize the situation. This influx of capital does not remain isolated within the banking system; it tends to flow through markets, lifting equities and eventually benefiting cryptocurrencies once confidence is restored. Moreover, the US Treasury’s General Account (TGA) balance has surged close to $1 trillion, sitting approximately $150 to $200 billion above normal levels. This capital is currently idle, but once government spending resumes following the shutdown, it is likely to begin circulating again. If the Bitcoin price performance this November mirrors its historical averages, the analysts anticipate a potential rally of around 40%. Such an increase could see the Bitcoin price reaching the $150,000 to $160,000 range. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
