Bitcoin has shed more than 50% of its value since hitting an all-time high near $126,000, and the market is now locked in a tense standoff at a support level that technical analysts say could determine the digital asset’s next major move.

Below that threshold, the next meaningful support sits in the low $40,000s, a drop that would push Bitcoin into drawdown territory comparable to its most brutal prior cycles. The sell-off has been swift and precise. Bitcoin’s…

On June 23, CryptoQuant research analyst Julio Moreno issued a pointed recommendation: MicroStrategy (ticker: MSTR) should stop buying Bitcoin and rebuild its cash buffer before its preferred stock collapses further. The advice was sound. It was also two weeks late. What CryptoQuant Actually Said Moreno’s case is built on hard numbers. Strategy’s annualized dividend obligations have nearly quadrupled to $1.2 billion in 2026, according to CryptoQuant data. Over the same period, its USD cash reserve, the buffer funding those payments, dropped 38%.

Well, that & basking in the brilliance of their talent. #RIP my friend.” Meanwhile, former longtime pro and current judge Derek Hough praised Wheeler for helping “build so much of the magic…
