Notable Developments:

Trader Notes: Entrepreneur and Bitcoin investor Lark Davis said Bitcoin faced a sharp rejection at the 50-week exponential moving average, a technical setup often referred to as a “kiss of death.”

He noted that price is now sitting on key trendline support, and that even a fresh $2 billion in buying from Michael Saylor has failed to lift the market, underscoring strong overhead resistance and persistent weakness.

Trader and investor Crypto Rand pointed to a potential early bullish signal, noting that the 30-day moving average is crossing above the 90-day moving average for the first time since May 2025. The crossover suggests short-term sentiment may be improving faster than the broader trend, though confirmation is still needed.

Coin Bureau co-founder Nic Puckrin said Bitcoin broke down after losing a former resistance level that had briefly acted as support. He added that BTC has now slipped below its 50-day moving average.

Puckrin highlighted a key CME gap between $88,000 and $88,700, warning that a decisive break below that zone could open the door to a move toward the yearly open near $87,500.
