MSTR bought more Bitcoin today!

Not so sure how good that news is.

It is going to be very interesting watching Strategy attempt to avoid bankruptcy this bear market. Saylor just posted that his preferred offerings don’t even pay regular dividends. They are “return of capital” distributions. A true ‘you are the yield’ scenario. This means his shareholders won’t even be able to write off massive losses as their cost basis continues declining with each payout.

The things Strategy is doing to pump Bitcoin are so reckless, it is difficult to believe they will succeed.

Why would Strategy end up in bankruptcy and how would that play out?

They're here to vacuum up as much coin as possible for Them. If bankruptcy is the best property transfer mechanism- or a fire sale price decline is desired- maybe...but it seems Saylor could ramp up the leverage a great deal more, coupled with further sizable price declines before facing any issues.

I have to think Salyor is in the red. But I do not know his company's structure and the how and why it made money.

I also do not know the cost basis ie is he at 85k a coin and at 79k is he down 6k x 600,000 coins?

That would be only 3.6 billion in the hole.

Also maybe this was all a plan for USA to grab those coins.

I don't think this is correct.
If you bought STRC, then, yes, the distributions are "return of capital".
However, MSTR shareholders have the same cost basis per share regardless of what Strategy (the company) pays out to STRC shareholders.
That said, of course, MSTR shareholders would be diluted by Strategy raising cash to pay STRC shareholders.
Hence, I sold my STRC and decided to "ride" MSTR for four years. Not much loss if it zeroes out.
For sure, STRC is much riskier that your usual money market fund.

What's up with this $82B 24h Volume and upward price climb after the massive rout we saw taking the price down sharply? How does this add up and make sense?

His cost is about 76K (76.052K to be precise).

Well 713,000 coins at 76k and we are at 79k

That is plus 2.1 billion. All is well

Unless it drops to say 50k and stays there

- there's no more threat of attack, there's now a meeting scheduled for Istanbul,...
 Trump peace and love, or diplomacy of fear.... fear?...
 Well, they say they have not accepted impositions, and the negotiations will be at their end.
 
  -But the good news of today, was the agreement reached with India,
 will no longer suffer fees for buying Russian oil, and will also be able to
 buy from the US and Venezuela
 BCO today=66,

 -gold futures trading, GC1, 2,..., are seen as an index of future risks.

 If there is a risk in the future, gold contracts increase their liquidity and start
 to become scarcer, and when it is understood that this risk was just an advertisement,
 and or no longer exists, for now, the contracts increase their liquidity in sales,
 where money flows back to other indices and stocks.....
 Was this temporary, this future risk, what happened to him, was it just propaganda.....?
 Or just steps in the stages for the future recession so much talked about?
 
 -What worries them is the change of hands of the world economic power/order,
 so they did not expect, after decades of defense with values easily multiplied on paper,
 with the belief that value exists, just believe!

  -At the level of 78 a good opening of the day, but with a slow decrease in volume,
.. jamming, what remains is the hope of seeing
  the Chart Buddy posting new highs at any time.

late night ai slop for something to gawk at...i mean speculate on

that is all


As of February 2, 2026, Bitcoin is trading around $78,600–$80,000 USD, based on the latest market data from multiple aggregators. Predicting its exact price in mid-July 2026 (around July 15) is inherently speculative—crypto markets are influenced by factors like macroeconomic trends (e.g., interest rates, inflation), regulatory changes (e.g., U.S. policies under ongoing administrations), institutional adoption (ETFs, corporate treasuries), halvings (next in 2028, but lingering effects from 2024), and global events (e.g., geopolitical tensions or tech advancements). No model can guarantee accuracy, and past performance isn't indicative of future results.
That said, I've aggregated forecasts from reputable sources (analysts, algorithmic models, and market reports published in early 2026) to provide a balanced view. These draw from technical analysis (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands, power law models), historical cycles, and sentiment. Predictions for 2026 overall vary wildly due to differing assumptions—bullish ones cite continued ETF inflows and liquidity cycles, while bearish ones point to potential recessions or profit-taking after 2025 peaks. For mid-July specifically, where available, I've noted monthly breakdowns; otherwise, I've interpolated from yearly ranges.
Summary of Key Predictions for Mid-July 2026
Here's a table compiling mid-2026 forecasts from cross-referenced sources. I focused on mid-year estimates where possible, averaging or extrapolating when data is year-end focused. Ranges reflect min-max scenarios, with averages as central tendencies.

Source/Model                                                                                           Predicted Range(USD)                                                                                           Average/Target(USD)                                             Rationale/Bias
Changelly (Algorithmic)                                                                            $117,845 – $131,935                                                                                                  $121,756                            Based on historical price data; assumes moderate growth post-2025 highs.
Binance Consensus Rating                                                                        $125,263 – $164,226 (for July)                                                                                    $144,744                            Fixed interest rate model; optimistic on institutional adoption and halving tailwinds.
CoinCodex (AI Forecast)                                                                           $88,345 – $89,816                                                                                                      $89,085                             Neutral RSI-based; expects consolidation after volatility, with 14% six-month gain from current.
3Commas/TradingBeasts                                                                           $77,649 – $78,567                                                                                                      $78,108                            Technical analysis; projects a low amid potential pullback to $75k–$80k range.
CNBC Analyst Roundup (e.g., Carol Alexander, Youwei Yang)                        $75,000 – $225,000 (yearly, mid-year similar)                                                      $110,000 – $150,000                  High volatility expected; center of gravity at $110k, but upside to $225k if rate cuts and regs favor crypto.
Kraken Growth Model (5% Annual)                                                            $76,530 – $80,357 (interpolated)                                                                                  $78,443                            Conservative 5% growth assumption; sees steady climb but no parabolic moves.
Flitpay (Cycle-Based)                                                                               $122,800 – $178,200                                                                                                   $153,300                           Bullish on correction year; factors in slowing 2024 halving effects but positive adoption.
Axi/Institutional Cluster                                                                            $150,000 – $250,000 (yearly, mid similar)                                                                     $200,000                           Bullish consensus from funds like Fundstrat; driven by ETFs and liquidity.
X Community Sentiment (e.g., @jv_finance, @CredibleCrypto)                     $85,000 – $300,000                                                                                            $140,000 – $240,000                 Power law and Bollinger Bands; some see parabolic wave to $240k–$300k, others $71k–$349k range. 
Overall Aggregated Range                                                                         $75,000 – $225,000                                                                                            $120,000 – $150,000                  Median of all sources; wide variance reflects uncertainty—bulls bet on expansion, bears on recession.

Analysis and Opinion

Bull Case (High End: $150k+): If global liquidity increases (e.g., Fed rate cuts continue into 2026) and crypto regs stay friendly (e.g., no major crackdowns), Bitcoin could push toward $150k–$225k by mid-July. This aligns with post-halving patterns where bulls extend into year 2–3, plus ongoing ETF inflows (already $50B+ in 2025). Models like the Bitcoin Rainbow Chart suggest $300k+ potential if sentiment flips ultra-bullish. X discussions echo this, with some calling for a "final parabolic wave."

Bear Case (Low End: <$100k): A slowdown in adoption, economic downturn (e.g., mirroring 2022's crash), or profit-taking after 2025 peaks could drag it to $75k–$90k. Analysts like Ben Cowen warn of drops to $74k or lower by summer 2026, citing cycle resets and stock market correlations. If we see a "historic gold crash" spillover, supports at $85k could break.

Most Likely Scenario: Around $120k–$150k. This is the consensus "center of gravity" from diversified sources, assuming moderate volatility (Bitcoin's 30-day RSI is neutral at ~30). 2026 might be a consolidation year post-2025 bull peak, but not a full bear market yet—think sideways with upside bias from alts and DeFi growth. Historically, mid-cycle prices average 1.5–2x the prior year's close; from current ~$79k, that fits ~$120k.

Remember, these are guesses—Bitcoin has surprised everyone before (e.g., 2021's $69k peak).
