Bitcoin price started a recovery wave above the $62,500 zone. BTC is 
consolidating and might aim for more gains if it clears the $64,000 resistance 
zone. Bitcoin started a recovery wave and climbed above $62,000. The price is 
trading above $62,200 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There is a 
bullish trend line forming with support at $62,500 on the hourly chart of the 
BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair might gain bullish momentum if 
it settles above the $64,000 zone. Bitcoin Price Recovery Faces Resistance 
Bitcoin price remained supported above the $60,500 zone. BTC formed a base and 
settled above $61,500 to start a recovery wave. There was a move above the 
$62,200 and $62,500 levels. The price even surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement 
level of the downward move from the $74,100 swing high to the $59,106 low. 
However, the bears seem to be active near $64,000. The price is again moving 
lower below the $63,200 level. Bitcoin is now trading above $62,500 and the 
100 hourly simple moving average. Besides, there is a bullish trend line 
forming with support at $62,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. If 
the price remains stable above $62,500, it could attempt a fresh increase. 
Immediate resistance is near the $63,500 level. The first key resistance is 
near the $64,000 level. A close above the $64,000 resistance might send the 
price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the 
$65,500 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $66,500 
level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $74,100 
swing high to the $59,106 low. The next barrier for the bulls could be 
$68,000. Downside Continuation In BTC? If Bitcoin fails to rise above the 
$64,000 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support is 
near the $62,500 level. The first major support is near the $62,200 level. The 
next support is now near the $61,500 zone. Any more losses might send the 
price toward the $61,000 support in the near term. The main support now sits 
at $60,000, below which BTC might struggle to recover in the near term. 
Technical indicators: Hourly MACD – The MACD is now losing pace in the bullish 
zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now below 
the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $62,500, followed by $62,000. Major 
Resistance Levels – $64,000 and $65,500.

Peter Schiff challenges Jamie Dimon’s call for bank-level oversight of crypto firms

Jiang Zhuoer, CEO of BTCTOP and one of China’s best-known Bitcoin mining 
figures, pushed back against fears that Strategy could become a major forced 
seller of BTC, arguing that the company’s balance-sheet risk remains 
manageable even under a severe Bitcoin drawdown. In a post on X, Jiang said he 
does not believe MicroStrategy, now Strategy, will “substantially net sell 
BTC,” pointing to a group discussion he shared on the company’s liabilities, 
STRC interest payments, funding structure and market concerns. The comments 
come as investors debate whether Strategy’s Bitcoin-backed capital markets 
model could come under pressure if BTC weakens further or if demand for STRC 
remains fragile. Bitcoin Panic Over Strategy Overblown? At the center of 
Jiang’s argument is the distinction between selling some Bitcoin and becoming 
a net seller of Bitcoin. He argued that a limited sale of older, low-cost BTC 
could be used to demonstrate realized investment gains, support STRC-related 
payments and reassure traditional investors without changing the broader 
accumulation strategy. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s “Electrical Cost” Suggests 
Possible Bear Market Floor Near $50,000 — Analyst “MicroStrategy will not 
significantly net-sell its coins,” the translated group discussion stated. “He 
already explained the reason for the last coin sale in an interview. He wanted 
to sell STRC.” According to the discussion, Strategy’s logic rests on the 
assumption that Bitcoin’s long-term appreciation can support the cost of STRC 
funding. The message attributed the thesis to a calculation that BTC can 
compound at around 30% annually, while using roughly 10% to pay interest would 
still leave sufficient room for the strategy to work. The concern, however, is 
not simply whether Strategy owns enough Bitcoin. It is whether the firm’s 
financing structure looks credible to traditional investors. The discussion 
framed the market’s core worry bluntly: if later STRC proceeds are used to pay 
earlier STRC interest, critics could view the model as resembling a Ponzi-like 
funding loop. That is why, in Jiang’s view, selective Bitcoin sales may be 
necessary rather than alarming. Selling some of the earliest and cheapest BTC 
would allow Strategy to show accounting gains. Those gains could then be used 
to pay STRC interest, while newly raised STRC proceeds are deployed into 
additional Bitcoin purchases. If the new BTC purchases are several times 
larger than the old BTC sold, Jiang argued, Strategy remains a net buyer. “So 
MicroStrategy has to sell some of the earliest and cheapest Bitcoin it 
bought,” the translated discussion said. “That way, accounting-wise, it can 
show investment gains. Then using the investment gains from selling Bitcoin to 
pay STRC interest becomes completely reasonable.” Related Reading: Bitcoin’s 
Great Wealth Transfer May Fuel Next Rally, Says CryptoQuant CEO Jiang also 
pushed back against fears that Strategy’s liabilities could spiral if STRC 
trades below par. He said the current debt-to-asset ratio is only about 5%, 
and characterized STRC’s discount as a short-term market sentiment issue 
rather than a sign of insolvency risk. In the worst case, he argued, several 
months of continued payments could restore confidence in the instrument. The 
discussion used a real estate analogy to explain the point. If a borrower owns 
$10 billion of houses and has borrowed $500 million, lenders may still worry 
if the borrower insists the houses can never be sold. But if the borrower 
shows willingness to sell one house to cover interest, the risk profile 
changes. “After all, I have 10 billion worth of houses, and I only borrowed 
500 million,” the translated message said. “As long as I’m willing to sell 
houses, there absolutely won’t be a situation where I can’t repay 500 million. 
That is why MicroStrategy has to start selling coins: to borrow more money and 
buy more coins.” Jiang’s argument also distinguishes STRC holders from Bitcoin 
holders. In his view, STRC buyers are not primarily betting on BTC upside; 
they care whether Strategy is willing and able to pay dividends. If the 
company shows that it can monetize BTC when needed, that may reduce the 
biggest concern among STRC investors. At press time, BTC traded at $63,468.
