BTC Price Close to $100K as Soverign Fund that Rejected Bitcoin Reports $40B Loss

by

Ah, the tragicomedy of finance! The great Bitcoin, that fickle siren of the digital seas, now dances at the brink of $95,000, teasing us with the promise of $100,000. A mere trifle, really, if you have an ounce of wit and a touch of divine recklessness. Meanwhile, in the grand theatre of high finance, Norges Bank Investment Management, the grand maestro of sovereign wealth, reveals a $40 billion loss. Why, you ask? Ah, they had the audacity to reject the very thing that is now flourishing—Bitcoin—while embracing “safe” US tech stocks. I suppose one must be cautious with such volatile things as… wealth. 🙄

The Pause Before the Storm: Bitcoin Eyes the $100K Mark, While Sovereign Wealth Funds Count the Cost

In the past five days, Bitcoin has surged by a stunning 14%, reaching a glimmering $95.6k. But wait! Just as we thought it might continue its march towards $100k, it’s paused for a well-deserved rest. The question is not if, but when, the meteoric rise will continue. Patience, dear friends. Patience. The bulls are still very much in control, but even the bravest need a sip of water now and then.

And then there’s Norges Bank Investment Management, sitting upon its towering $1.8 trillion fund. The so-called “safe” bet? Tech stocks. The result? A dismal $40 billion loss. The CEO of Braiins Mining, Eli Nagar, could not resist pointing out the delicious irony of it all. Their fear of Bitcoin’s “volatility” left them holding the bag with their so-called “safe” equities, like Nvidia, Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon. We all know how “safe” those stocks are, don’t we? A bet on Bitcoin, it seems, might have been the better gamble after all. 😏

Yet, let us not forget the subtlety of finance! While Norges Bank scoffed at Bitcoin, they still have indirect exposure to cryptocurrency markets. Ah yes, the delicious irony—through companies like MicroStrategy and Coinbase, they too have a foot in the door. A bit of a dance with the devil, I daresay. 💃

Bitcoin’s Path to $100K: Can It Maintain Its Grace, or Will It Stumble?

As of today, Bitcoin’s value sits comfortably at $94,552, having ended Friday on a promising note. Yet, in the world of charts and numbers, nothing is ever as simple as it seems. The four-hour chart reveals a curious escape from its previous value range of $81k to $88.4k. This has pushed Bitcoin into a consolidation zone, stretching from $93k to $102.5k. A quiet weekend awaits, perhaps, with the pause in Trump’s tariffs offering a brief respite. But, do not be fooled! The bulls may be in control, but are they losing their grip? 🧐

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits in the overbought zone, offering lower highs, a subtle sign that all is not well in paradise. This, dear reader, is known as “bearish divergence,” and it often signals a correction. One might even spot this same divergence in the Awesome Oscillator. Oh, how delightful! We all adore a good plot twist, don’t we? 🎭

But do not rush to conclusions! Bitcoin may defy expectations, pushing higher still, while the RSI and AO stubbornly produce lower highs. The final act of this little drama could see Bitcoin reaching a key reversal zone, between $97.1k and $98.1k. A perfect moment for those brave enough to short. Of course, one cannot rule out a mad, volatility-driven spike to $100k, in which case, traders, beware! The stage is set, and the curtain is about to rise! 🎬

While the short-to-mid term appears a touch bearish, fear not! The long-term prospects remain as grand as a Shakespearean epic. Bitcoin might very well continue its bullish ascent towards $102k, perhaps even $108k, should it flip the critical $98k to $100k zone. Keep your wits sharp, and your wallet sharper. After all, in this game of numbers and trends, only the truly audacious emerge victorious. 🍾
