Michael Saylor’s company has already lined up the money. Now the question is how much Bitcoin it plans to buy with it. Related Reading: Alibaba AI Model Puts XRP Price Between $7 And $42 By Year-End Saylor’s Signal Fires Up The Market Strategy’s executive chairman posted his well-known “Orange Dots” chart on X over the weekend, adding just three words: “Think even Bigger.” The chart maps every Bitcoin purchase the company has ever made. In crypto circles, its appearance has become a reliable preview of an imminent acquisition announcement — and Monday is the day Strategy most commonly makes those announcements public. The post landed after a string of major purchases. On April 13, Strategy spent $1 billion on Bitcoin. The week before that, it dropped $330 million. Both buying rounds were preceded by the same chart. This time, Saylor’s caption suggests the next move could top them both. A War Chest Already Sitting Ready The fuel for that purchase appears to already be in place. Strategy’s STRC instrument has raised enough capital to fund up to $1.76 billion in Bitcoin acquisitions, based on reports tracking the company’s fundraising activity. The company routinely uses proceeds from STRC to bankroll its Bitcoin buying program, so the timing of that capital raise lines up with the weekend post. At the time of writing, Strategy holds 780,897 Bitcoin across its corporate treasury. The company’s average purchase price sits at $75,577 per coin. At current market prices, the entire stash is valued at roughly $58 billion — a figure that would shift significantly with any large new purchase. Bitcoin Price Holds Flat Despite The News The market has not moved much on Saylor’s hint. Bitcoin was trading around $75,500, down less than 1% in the 24 hours following the post. Geopolitical pressure has been a drag on price action, with US President Donald Trump accusing Iran of violating ceasefire terms — a development that has kept risk appetite subdued across financial markets.

Bitcoin Dominance — the share of total crypto market value held by Bitcoin — pushed above a key resistance level on the three-day chart, clearing a descending trendline it had been stuck under for some time. Reports from crypto analysts indicate that if the breakout holds, more capital could rotate into Bitcoin at the expense of smaller coins. For Strategy’s playbook, that kind of market shift would not be unwelcome. Featured image from MetaAI, chart from TradingView

Ethereum is flashing a combination of technical and on-chain signals that analysts say could be the beginning of a meaningful recovery. For the first time in months, the structure of Ethereum’s price action appears to be shifting in the favor of bulls. The latest price action has brought the ETH price back above $2,300, setting up a structure that says the next leg is about to start. Related Reading: Asteroid Shiba’s 68,000% Rally Leaves Traders Stunned After Elon Musk Reply Technical Levels Reset, Analyst Flags Breakout Conditions Crypto analyst Ash Crypto drew attention to Ethereum’s price action this week, pointing to three developments that, taken together, suggest the groundwork for a new upward leg may be forming. The first major development in Ethereum’s recent price action is its move back above the 100-day simple moving average. This level had acted as dynamic resistance, consistently capping upside attempts since November 2025. The break above it changes the tone of the chart, as it suggests that buyers are starting to regain control on higher timeframes. Second, a resistance zone that repeatedly rejected price throughout Q1 2026 has now been flipped into a support area. The chart shared by Ash Crypto shows a rising trendline from the February lows supporting price from below and creating a tightening range alongside a support zone to create an ascending triangle pattern. ETH has since broken above the upper boundary of that triangle and is now testing the horizontal resistance band in the $2,300 to $2,370 range. According to the analyst, all Ethereum needs to do now is just hold above the $2,300 level, and the next leg up will start. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,316. Ethereum Price Chart. Source: @AshCrypto On X Institutional Demand Returns Through ETF Channel The third major development is the return of institutional inflows through US Spot Ethereum ETFs. Particularly, US Spot Ether ETFs recorded $275.83 million in inflows in the most recent week, which is their strongest weekly inflow since the week ending January 16. Perhaps the most compelling evidence of a changing market dynamic comes from derivatives order flow data. Throughout this cycle, Ethereum has faced persistently negative net taker volume. This is a metric that measures the difference between buy and sell market orders on derivatives exchanges, and the negative reading means sellers were consistently overpowering buyers. That pattern has now reversed. As noted by CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, buy-side volumes have taken control on derivatives markets for the first time in the cycle, with a net taker volume reading of +$102 million recorded recently.

If this trend manages to persist and buyers continue to absorb selling pressure, then it could indicate the early stages of a stronger structural recovery for Ethereum.
