Turns out, big players have been stockpiling Bitcoin like it’s canned soup before a snowstorm. In July alone, exchange-traded products gobbled up 54,000 BTC, while Digital Asset Treasuries added another 72,000 BTC to their stash. That’s not pocket change-it’s more like pocket treasure chests 💰. VanEck first started hyping Bitcoin back in November 2024 when it was trading at $88,000. Fast forward, and US-listed miners now control 31% of the global Bitcoin hashrate (up from 30%, because apparently fractions matter here). Meanwhile, equity indexes dropped 4%, unless you count Applied Digital’s 50% surge, which we probably shouldn’t because life isn’t fair.

Now, Deaton’s got a crystal ball that’s as foggy as a Mississippi morning, but he’s betting his bottom dollar on this Bitcoin rally. Of course, he ain’t all sunshine and rainbows-he warns of a potential tumble, with Bitcoin losing its britches and dropping 30-40% from its high-falutin’ peak. If that happens, he reckons folks’ll start yapping about Strategy liquidating its BTC reserves faster than a catfish on a hook. 🌊🐟

But hey, let’s talk about the real star of this show: the magical $105K support level. 🌟 According to CryptoQuant (aka the crypto wizards), this number is more important than your ex’s birthday-which you totally forgot, by the way. 🤷‍♀️ Wallet cohorts are sending mixed signals, like a group chat where no one can decide on brunch plans. 🥞

It’s still up for the week, blah blah blah, strength in the trend, sure. But let’s be real. It got rejected. Politely, but firmly. Like trying to return a slightly used sweater. And now there are signs that this could get… well, it could get ugly. Pretty, pretty, pretty ugly.
