The true spectacle, however, lay in the shadows. Altcoins, those unruly stepchildren of the crypto world, leaped and twirled: ether by 8.5%, solana by 6.9%, cardano by 10.8%, and dogecoin, ever the jester, by 8.3%. Bitcoin’s meager 4.3% gain? A tired old man at a party of youths.
Michael Saylor says Solana will power the future of digital credit, marking a notable shift in his blockchain commentary. A shift so dramatic, it’s like watching a penguin learn to fly.
“Charts are unbiased,” he declares, his voice echoing with the gravitas of a philosopher. “If I see a bullish pattern, I trade it long. If I see a bearish pattern, I go short.” And lo, he sees a bullish setup forming, though he stops short of proclaiming a full bull market, for such declarations are the folly of the overzealous.
Ethereum, my pet, managed to form a base and traded above the $1,920 resistance, much like its cousin Bitcoin. The price rallied above the $2,000 and $2,020 resistance levels with such panache! There was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $1,920 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The bulls, those darlings, even pumped the price above $2,100. A high was formed at $2,158 before a sharp downside correction. The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1,792 swing low to the $2,158 high. How utterly Fibonacci-esque!
Ah, Nvidia (NVDA), the Goliath of the tech world and the darling of every AI enthusiast who’s ever dreamed of robots doing their laundry. Once again, it’s proven that it’s not just a chipmaker-it’s a Wall Street whisperer. On Wednesday, after the markets closed (because drama is best served after hours), Nvidia announced it had topped expectations for the fourth quarter, posting a jaw-dropping $68.1 billion in revenue. That’s a 73% leap from last year, folks. Apparently, the world is very thirsty for AI chips.
BlockFills, a noble crypto liquidity provider nestled in Chicago’s fair streets, once proudly served the kings of finance – hedge funds, asset managers, and high-net-worth trading firms – until, well, things took a turn for the worse.
The digital asset market, a fickle lover, staged a dramatic reversal on Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026, effectively snapping a bruising downtrend that had dragged Bitcoin below the $63,000 support level just 24 hours prior. By 1:40 p.m., the top cryptocurrency surged past $69,000, hitting a localized peak of $69,562 on Bitstamp-a rapid-fire gain of more than 7%, a feat akin to a cheetah sprinting through a financial savannah.
In late 2025, Brad Garlinghouse announced the Hidden Road acquisition, now rebranded as Ripple Prime. Congrats, Brad! Now your new toy is just a fancy name for “we bought this and hope no one notices the XRP price is melting like a snowman in July.” Investors thought, “Sure, let’s pour billions into this corporate spa day for executives while our tokens go on a keto diet.”
This announcement shows the UK is speeding up its work to become a leading, well-regulated center for digital assets, and it anticipates that stablecoins will be a key part of how we pay for things in the future.
In Goldman’s latest chart-topping game of ‘Which Stock Can We Bet Against Today?’, MSTR claims the top spot, with short interest occupying 14% of its market cap, leaving Charter Communications-bless its heart-at 12%. And the rest? CoreWeave and Coinbase are also in the running, with short interest hovering around 11%. A veritable race to the bottom, one might say. Then there’s the usual suspects: Western Digital, Dell, Palo Alto Networks, all at a meager 8%. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
