A prominent crypto analyst with X username PlanD has backed Bitcoin to maintain its uptrend despite some significant price retracement in the past week. Notably, PlanD states the premier cryptocurrency remains on course for a $340,000 price point but only if a specific support zone remains valid. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sharpe Ratio Says It’s Time For ‘Cautious Optimism’ — Further Upside Growth Incoming? Bitcoin Bullish Momentum Hinges On $91,000 – $100,000 Support Structure In an X post on May 31, PlanD outlined Bitcoin’s potential to soon re-enter price discovery mode regardless of the recent price dip. Since hitting a new all-time high at $111,970, the flagship cryptocurrency has slipped into a minor corrective phase, forcing market prices to go below $104,000. However, PlanD explains that Bitcoin’s price action has a 3-year giant cup and handle pattern that postulates the digital asset is set for immense price gains in the current bull cycle. The cup-and-handle pattern is a common chart pattern that signals a bullish continuation in price movement. As illustrated in the chart above, the cup is formed Bitcoin’s crash from its previous all-time high at $69,000 in November 2021 followed by a stabilization and recovery period which lasted until March 2024 when Bitcoin returned to the same price level. This is followed by the handle which is the descending channel as seen from March 2024 to around October 2024 before Bitcoin achieved a decisive price breakout above the neckline of $76,000 in November 2024. Despite registering impressive strides from this price point to around $112,000, PlanD notes that the Cup-and-Handle pattern tips Bitcoin to hit a price target of $340,000 before 2025. Amidst the ongoing retracement, the analyst states that this bullish structure remains in place as long as Bitcoin remains above the support price zone of $91,000-$100,000. Provided the premier cryptocurrency does not fall below this price level, the ongoing correction is expected to serve as mere pullback in preparation for a major upswing. Related Reading: XRP Price Risks Crash Below $2 As Correction Takes Hold, Here’s Why Bitcoin Price Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $104,739 following a minor price gain of 0.64% in the past day. Meanwhile, the asset’s daily trading volume is valued at $40.03 billion following a 31.28% increase in the past day. Despite this slight price increase in the past day, Bitcoin must return to its current all-time high at $111,970 to neutralize any current bearish potential. However, the premier cryptocurrency will face familiar resistances at the $106,000 and $109,000 to achieve this task. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview

Saylor's persistent Bitcoin acquisitions highlight a growing trend of corporate crypto adoption, despite market volatility and mixed reactions.
The post Saylor teases buying the Bitcoin dip as Strategy stacks for 7th straight week appeared first on Crypto Briefing.
‘No force on earth can stop it’ is what Michael Saylor, Strategy’s founder, had to say about the digital gold during the recently concluded Bitcoin 2025 event in Las Vegas. As the head of possibly the most pro-crypto corporation, Saylor pointed towards the growing interest among other large companies to replicate Strategy’s Bitcoin play. Keep reading to find out exactly what Saylor said and why his unwavering confidence in Bitcoin provides retailers like you and us the opportunity to accumulate the best altcoins before the next crypto rally. Companies Worldwide Are Embracing Bitcoin During his time at the Bitcoin event, Saylor noticed a surreal ‘explosion of interest’ by companies to follow Strategy’s ‘buy and HODL $BTC’ playbook. Moreover, the companies that approached Saylor during the event belonged to different parts of the world, including the UK, Hong Kong, and South Korea. This is huge because it confirms that $BTC’s rising popularity isn’t just limited to the US. Speaking of the US, it’s worth remembering that president Trump signed an executive order earlier this year, kickstarting the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Combined with Vice President JD Vance’s recent address to the Bitcoin community, where he said that $BTC is ‘a hedge against inflation, censorship, and unelected bureaucrats,’ it’s easy to see the merit behind Saylor’s Bitcoin stance. In addition to calling Bitcoin ‘the most explosive idea of the era’ and ‘an idea whose time has come,’ Saylor also remarked that an unprecedented interest in buying $BTC could make it exponentially harder to accumulate the asset. We think it will get exponentially harder to buy Bitcoin, but we will work exponentially more efficiently to buy Bitcoin – Michael Saylor Everything signals to this being a perfect time to buy and HODL some of the top cryptos that could pump heavily during a $BTC supply squeeze. To help you get started, here are our top three recommendations. 1. BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) – Best Bitcoin-Themed Altcoin on the Market Right Now BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is arguably the best crypto to buy now thanks to its never-before-seen approach to following Bitcoin’s growth trajectory. $BTCBULL holders who store their tokens in Best Wallet will automatically receive free (and 100% legit) $BTC as airdrops. These airdrops will take place whenever the king cryptocurrency reaches the mighty price landmarks of $150K and $200K for the very first time. Additionally, BTC Bull Token will also regularly burn a portion of its total token supply. This will keep a check on the token’s availability, hiking its demand and price during Bitcoin bull runs. Needless to say, the best time to buy a new meme coin is when it’s in presale, which, luckily for you, $BTCBULL is. The project has raised over $6.6M, and each token is currently available for just $0.00254. Here’s how to buy it. 2. MIND of Pepe ($MIND) – Best AI Agent Altcoin for Real-Time Crypto Investment Advice MIND of Pepe ($MIND) is the perfect ally to have during a crypto bull run. This AI agent coin will identify the best cryptos to invest in on your behalf, and that, too, after carefully analyzing social trends and on-chain activity data. $MIND interacts with crypto influencers on platforms like X, where it patiently listens to their unique opinions on various altcoins going around. Next, it combines this data with real-time information from CoinMarketCap and DexScreener to find out underrated coins that are silently shaping up to become the next cryptos to explode. It’s worth noting, though, that access to MIND of Pepe‘s actionable crypto trading signals will be reserved for $MIND token holders. If you want to become a $MIND owner, this might just be your last chance. The project’s presale ($12M+ raised) is coming to a close in less than 36 hours, following which you’d probably never be able to buy $MIND for a low price of $0.0037515. 3. TROLL ($TROLL) – Meme Coin Based on Internet Trolling TROLL’s success is proof that there’s still enough space for ‘dank’ internet users who like to indulge in occasional – and hopefully harmless – online trolling. This low-cap coin has surged over 120% since its launch in the latter half of April. Over 8% of these gains have come in just the last seven days, making $TROLL one of the top trending cryptos currently. $TROLL is currently trading at $0.02189, and a break above the $0.023 resistance level can see it reach for $0.028. Moreover, with continued momentum, especially during a trending crypto market, can see $TROLL even claim its all-time high of around $0.040. If this prediction holds true, investors who position themselves in $TROLL now can potentially churn out 180% in returns. DYOR Before Investing in the Best Altcoins With a squeeze in Bitcoin supply likely to send the broader crypto market soaring, top presale altcoins like BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) and MIND of Pepe ($MIND) are certainly great inclusions in your crypto portfolio. However, beware that the crypto market is highly volatile; it turns and twists upon every big and small macroeconomic event. We’d advise you to only invest after doing your own research and due diligence. None of the above is a substitute for professional financial advice.

The price action of Dogecoin in the past 48 hours have seen it finally break below the $0.2 mark after a whole week of bullish investors trying to hold above the $0.22 support level. However, this break below the $0.22 support has cascaded into a string of selloffs that eventually pushed Dogecoin below $0.2. The mood was further complicated by a recent on-chain development of a massive inflow of Dogecoin into crypto exchange Coinbase that has raised eyebrows across the crypto community. Related Reading: No Room For Doubt: Analyst’s $900K Bitcoin Forecast Follows Familiar Script 312 Million Dogecoin Moved Into Crypto Exchange Coinbase According to data from blockchain monitoring platform Whale Alert, three large Dogecoin transactions were recorded in rapid succession, each involving 104,125,016 DOGE valued at approximately $20.09 million. These transfers were sent from three different wallets to the Coinbase exchange, bringing the total moved to 312,375,048 DOGE, worth over $60 million at the time of the transaction. ???? 104,125,016 #DOGE (20,090,304 USD) transferred from unknown wallet to #Coinbasehttps://t.co/ZHkkBkN9Bm — Whale Alert (@whale_alert) May 31, 2025 ???? 104,125,016 #DOGE (20,090,304 USD) transferred from unknown wallet to #Coinbasehttps://t.co/4x6lIhHDSk — Whale Alert (@whale_alert) May 31, 2025 ???? 104,125,016 #DOGE (20,090,304 USD) transferred from unknown wallet to #Coinbasehttps://t.co/6G8vEk2Hnj — Whale Alert (@whale_alert) May 31, 2025 Although the wallets are technically separate, their identical balances, timing, and synchronized movement strongly suggest they are controlled by a single entity. On-chain history reveals that these wallets started receiving Dogecoin in October 2021, five months after the cryptocurrency reached its all-time high of $0.7316 in May 2021. Fresh inflows were added again in 2022, but since then, there had been little to no incoming activity. Furthermore, these addresses haven’t had any outgoing activity since their creation, until now. This makes the recent transfers not only unusual but significant, as it marks the first time these tokens are being moved out and directly to an exchange. Brace For Impact? What This Means For DOGE Price The immediate concern for investors is whether these transfers is the precursor to an impending selloff. Sending over 312 million DOGE to Coinbase could be interpreted as a move to liquidate, especially if the whale behind these wallets intends to take profits after holding the asset dormant for nearly two years. Such a sale will introduce substantial selling pressure to Dogecoin, which is already currently struggling to get market demand to absorb selling pressure. On the other hand, not all large transfers to exchanges indicate bearish intent. There is a realistic possibility that the wallets are not externally owned but rather belong to Coinbase itself. In that case, the transfers may simply represent internal restructuring or cold-to-hot wallet reallocation, which poses no threat to price action. At present, there is no conclusive evidence confirming either scenario, and the uncertainty is enough to keep retail Dogecoin traders on alert.

Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser has questioned whether new Bitcoin treasury companies will show the same commitment as Strategy co‐founder Michael Saylor. Related Reading: Pepe Makes It To Trump’s Feed—Is A Crypto Endorsement Next? According to Keiser’s May 30 X post, Saylor kept buying Bitcoin through past market drops without selling, even when his holdings were underwater. He pointed out that Strategy’s imitators have yet to face a real bear market. Based on this, Keiser warned it might be unrealistic to assume these newer firms will stay steady if prices slide. Max Keiser Raises Doubts In a May 30 X post, Keiser wrote, “The Strategy clones have not been tested in a bear market. Saylor never sold and just kept buying, even when his BTC position was underwater. It is foolish to think the new Bitcoin Treasury Strategy clones will have the same discipline.” The @Strategy clones have not been tested in a bear market.@saylor never sold, and just kept buying, even when his BTC position was under water. It’s foolish to think the new Bitcoin Treasury @Strategy clones will have the same discipline. — Max Keiser (@maxkeiser) May 31, 2025 He had already compared Strategy to “the Bitcoin of BTC treasury plays,” implying that other firms will struggle to match that level of conviction. Short trades and quick flips have driven some copycats so far. Long holds in a downtrend? That’s a different story. Corporate Bitcoin Holdings Soar Companies are jumping on the Bitcoin treasury train at a rapid pace. Based on reports, dozens of businesses announced plans to follow Strategy’s lead in the first half of 2025. Some analysts now believe 50% or more of all crypto could soon sit on corporate balance sheets. Strive, the asset management firm led by former political candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, joined on May 7. Trump Media and Technology Group confirmed a $2.5 billion capital raise to buy Bitcoin on May 27. Each fresh announcement drives more copycats, which adds to both hype and risk in the space. Related Reading: No Room For Doubt: Analyst’s $900K BTC Forecast Follows Familiar Script Premium Prices Alarm Analysts Strategy’s stock rose to an all‐time high of $543 on November 21, and that jump inspired rival firms to list their own Bitcoin plans. Metaplanet, for example, trades at a Bitcoin premium of $600,000. That means investors are paying nearly six times more for exposure than if they bought Bitcoin directly. Based on reports, analysts argue such high premiums can’t last forever. If Bitcoin dips or demand for stock‐based exposure weakens, those markups could evaporate. Paying $600,000 extra per Bitcoin position today might look very different if prices fall tomorrow. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
Toncoin (TON), the native token of The Open Network (TON), has climbed over 5% in the past 24 hours, signaling renewed market demand. This rebound comes on the heels of a broader market downturn that saw TON decline alongside other major cryptocurrencies late last week. Amidst these small-scale movements, crypto analyst Ali Martinez notes the altcoin appears to be preparing for a major price breakout. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Trend Above $100,000: The Good News And The Bad News Toncoin Charts 40% Move As Triangle Hints At Breakout In an X post on May 31, Ali Martinez shares an insightful take on the TON market. Using the 4-hour trading chart, the expert analyst highlights that TON’s price movement over the past four months has created a symmetrical triangle pattern hinting at the strong potential of a major price breakout. The symmetrical triangle is a neutral chart pattern that reflects price compression due to the formation of higher lows and lower highs. Inherently, this chart pattern suggests neither the buyers or sellers are in affirmative control of the market, indicating there is much potential for a 40% price swing on either side. Currently, Toncoin trades around $3.16 following the recent price bounce. If market bulls force a breakout from the upper boundary around $3.28, the altcoin is expected to trade as high as $4.55-$4.65. Meanwhile, a breakdown at the lower boundary around $3.10 could result in a market price between $1.80-$1.90. Interestingly, TON’s relative strength index currently sits at 49.37 facing the upward direction which also suggests a neutral market while noting that bullish momentum is starting to build. A cross over 50 would provide bulls confirmation as TON makes its way to the overbought zone. Related Reading: Tron (TRX) Future Retail Activity Indicates More Gains Ahead – Analyst TON Market Overview As earlier stated, TON continues to trade at $3.16 reflecting market gains of 5.12% and 4.62% in the past one and seven days, respectively. Telegram LLC which served as initial developers of TON and offers a deep integration with the cryptocurrency project has registered a series of positive developments contributing to these recent price leaps. Most notably, Telegram founder Pavel Durov announced the platform’s partnership with xAI which would grant users in-app access to Grok, the prominent generative AI model. As part of this one year partnership, Telegram is to receive $300 million in cash and equity investment as well as earn 50% of all xAI revenue generated via the messaging platform. With a market cap of $7.79 billion, Toncoin ranks as the ninth largest cryptocurrency in the world despite a year-on-year loss of 49.98%. Featured image from Pintu Academy, chart from Tradingview
