👇1-13) Bitcoin and crypto markets often thrive on momentum, where success lies in backing the winners, doubling down on them, and cutting underperformers quickly. While we made strong bullish calls on several Bitcoin miners last year, identifying similarly attractive entry points this time has been more difficult. The opportunities haven’t aligned, and the anticipated divergence—where miners' rising revenues outpace their stock prices—has yet to occur.

👇2-13) On September 24, just days after the FOMC meeting where Fed Chair Powell announced the widely anticipated rate cut, we observed a potential shift in Bitcoin's dominance, signaling a peak, as several altcoins began to outperform. In our September 24 report, we highlighted several of these altcoins, and those who acted on our insights would have seen strong returns. TAO (+17%), ENA (+12%), SEI (+6%), APT (+22%), and SUI (+28%) all extended their rallies, while NEAR (-14%) and GRT (-13%) underperformed. Five out of the seven tokens delivered positive returns – overall, momentum continued for those winners.

As mentioned, this may create a 'tail wags the dog' scenario, where MicroStrategy's stock performance could positively influence Bitcoin’s price.

Several key catalysts (see timeline below) are on the horizon for MicroStrategy and Bitcoin, which could significantly impact their performance.
