Hello and happy Friday!
Markets are becoming increasingly divided as traditional equities continue climbing to record highs while crypto faces one of its most challenging periods of the cycle.
This week’s report breaks down these diverging market dynamics with 14 detailed charts covering the growing disconnect between risk assets. The crypto section dives into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, outlining precise long and short setups with clearly defined entry points, targets, and invalidation levels.
Here’s what we’ll cover today:
🌍 Market Recap & Macro Overview: How record ETF outflows, the first-ever Bitcoin sale by Strategy, AI-related earnings disappointments, and fresh equity market highs are reshaping investor sentiment.
📈 Bitcoin (BTC) Breakdown: Bitcoin loses both $72,000 and $65,500 support, ETF outflows remain relentless, and the key levels that will determine whether the current range can stabilize.
📊 Ethereum (ETH) Outlook: Ethereum breaks below major support, ETH/BTC continues signaling relative weakness, and ETF flows show early but limited signs of improvement.
🚀 Solana (SOL) Analysis: Solana joins the broader crypto selloff, loses critical support levels, and approaches key downside targets as relative weakness persists.
Let’s dive in 👇
Copy BlackRock's $10 Trillion Playbook
BlackRock manages $10 trillion using a playbook that's been hidden from retail investors for decades.
Until now.
I reverse-engineered their three-phase system into the ABN Framework:
A - All-Weather Portfolio (protect your base in any market)
B - Become Your Own Bank (collect fees like institutions)
N - Native Markets (get in before major exchange listings)
The same institutional edge... without needing millions in capital.
Over 4,000 investors are already using this:
Bill generated $932,000 in 21 days using our Native Markets strategy.
David made $27,000 in passive returns in just 2 weeks.
Jeff 5x'd his entire portfolio with our ABN framework.
The window's closing as institutional money floods in, so act quick.

🌍 Market Recap & Macro Overview:
Bitcoin has now lost roughly half its value since its $126,000 all-time high last October, sliding to around $63,500 this week. The sell-off has been brutal and broad-based: record ETF outflows exceeding $3.2 billion, cascading liquidations, and a large Mt. Gox wallet transfer all hit at once, leaving buyers with nowhere to hide.

The Dow tells the opposite story. Blue-chip stocks have climbed from 42,000 last summer to fresh all-time highs above 51,000 this week, with Thursday alone delivering an 875-point surge as investors rotated into healthcare and financials. Two markets, two completely different realities.

Making Bitcoin's slide worse is what's happening at Strategy (MSTR). The company disclosed it sold 32 Bitcoin last week to cover preferred stock dividend payments, its first publicly acknowledged net Bitcoin sale ever. The amount is negligible, but founder Michael Saylor built his entire reputation on never selling. That promise is now broken, and MSTR shares have cratered nearly 65% from their peak as a result.

Tech stocks added to the turbulence on Thursday when Broadcom's earnings disappointed. AI revenue more than doubled to $10.8 billion, yet the stock fell 15% because management refused to raise its full-year guidance. In a market pricing in perfection, good is no longer good enough.

The message across all four charts is the same: traditional equities are being rewarded while crypto and richly-valued tech are being punished for any sign of weakness. Know which side of that divide your portfolio sits on.
Better cap table management starts here
Cap table management doesn’t have to be frustrating. From issuing grants to 409A valuations or ASC 718 reporting Pulley can make it simple.
Just ask Linear. They knew they needed a partner who could handle the complexity of their equity management. That’s why they migrated to Pulley.
📈 Bitcoin (BTC) Breakdown:
Bitcoin fell below both the $72,000 and $65,500 technical support levels, fulfilling our bearish trade scenarios and leaving long-term Bitcoin investors down more than 17%. Currently, BTC is trading around $62,800 after finding support at the $60,700 technical level. For now, price appears range-bound between the $60,700 and $65,500 technical levels.
