  • Tether increased its Bitcoin holdings to nearly 80,000 BTC, valued at over $9 billion.
  • The company continues to purchase Bitcoin despite price declines, indicating strong belief in its value.
  • Market watchers suggest this commitment may bolster confidence in Bitcoin's long-term prospects.

Supporters highlight Bitcoin's history of recovery after sell-offs, while some caution against complacency, noting potential challenges from new technologies.

Technical Analysis by Bollinger

  • John Bollinger warned of a potential “head fake” in Bitcoin’s price due to a recent Bollinger Band squeeze.
  • Bitcoin briefly dropped to $111,900 on August 3 before rising to $115,700, catching many traders off guard.
  • This pattern does not appear in crypto ETFs, which do not trade on weekends.
