Bitcoin continues to fluctuate. Yesterday's update, hitting $84,000, was met with active buying; however, how long this will last is a rather complicated question. The market remains in a bearish trend, and every good correction is perceived as an opportunity to sell.
Meanwhile, shares of the Strategy company plummeted by 12% yesterday after it announced the creation of a $1.44 billion reserve to support dividend payments on preferred shares and interest on outstanding debt. The company also stated that it purchased an additional 130 BTC last week.
It is clear that investors reacted extremely negatively to the news, fearing that the creation of such a large reserve indicates serious financial problems within the company. Analysts have suggested that Strategy's operational activities are not generating enough profit to cover current obligations, necessitating the use of alternative funding sources to maintain payments to shareholders and creditors. The decision to buy additional bitcoins has also puzzled many experts. In light of the cryptocurrency market collapse, investing substantial funds in this asset appears risky and could further worsen the company's financial position. However, some experts believe that Strategy's management is trying to prove to everyone that, even in difficult times, the company will not abandon its plan or its cryptocurrency investment program.
As for the intraday strategy in the cryptocurrency market, I will continue to act on significant dips in bitcoin and ether, expecting the medium-term bullish market to continue.
Regarding short-term trading, the strategy and conditions are outlined below.
