Technical indicators currently favor sellers as Bitcoin trades beneath the 20-day, 50-day, and 100-day exponential moving averages. Moreover, the rejection near the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement around $79,000 reinforced bearish control. The current structure suggests traders remain…

The scale up of STRC and SATA has drawn in many detractors. Recently Onramp published a paper highlighting some issues of Digital Credit.

Onramp writes on Page 3: “Strategy has released AI-generated advertising featuring a young, attractive model in a tropical…
