A widely followed crypto analyst says that Bitcoin (BTC) could see lower prices before mounting a recovery. In a new thread, pseudonymous crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa tells his 253,800 followers on X that things could get “scary” for the flagship digital asset in its lower time frame but that BTC should find solid support somewhere between $103,000 and $108,000. “The bad part is that BTC looks [awful] on lower time frames, but the good part is that there should be pretty decent support from the $103,000-$108,000. 200-day EMA (exponential moving average) right around $104,000; this cluster should find a bounce (in my opinion). Could get scary in the short term, though.” Source: Altcoin Sherpa/X According to Sherpa, the top crypto asset by market cap dipping below the $111,800 price tag is a sign that it will continue to plunge. Earlier this week, he had predicted that a drop below this range for BTC would signal short-term struggles. ...

Michael Saylor has taken immediate advantage of his modified promise about diluting common shareholders with today’s massive increase in the supply of Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy (MSTR). This morning, he announced 875,301 more shares sold of MSTR under his at-the-market (ATM) offering. Those sales would have been prohibited under slide 96 of the company’s original Q2 2025 earnings presentation. For a few weeks, the company stated unequivocally, “We will not issue MSTR below 2.5x mNAV except to pay interest and dividends.” As of publication time, the Enterprise Value mNAV of MSTR is 1.59x. Fortunately for Saylor, that sentence was erased from the revised, August 18 version. The new promise allows Strategy the freedom to dilute shareholders in order to “provide greater flexibility in executing our capital markets strategy.” What that vague revision means, in practice, is that the company was able to issue more MSTR below 2.5x mNAV today. MSTR dilution t...

Jacob King, CEO of WhaleWire, suggested the sell-off was sparked by a single large holder liquidating over 24,000 BTC, worth more than $2 billion: “Bitcoin flash crash today, which wiped out $310M in long positions, has been traced to a SINGLE Bitcoin whale dumping BTC for ETH.
