Trade Ideas
Michael Ranking Senior Market Analyst, NYSE 15:48
Watch Bitcoin for breakout above 76K or breakdown.
Bitcoin is at a key technical resistance around 76,000; a push above this level and the 100-day moving average near 80,000 could lead to further gains, while a failed breakout could see a retest of recent lows, making it a setup to watch.

Avalanche bullish due to staking, limited supply, fee burn.
Avalanche offers a staking yield just under 6% net, has limited supply, and uses a fee burn mechanism that reduces supply over time, which combined with the company's operational runway and profitability in mining provides a bullish case for the token.
AVAX HIGH
Jolie Khan 29:00
Avac1 profitable in Bitcoin mining, expanding to AI.
The company is profitable in Bitcoin mining due to low power costs in Alberta and is developing an AI data center on a microgrid, using existing power contacts and land access, with a plan to generate revenue from mining in the short term and AI tenants in the future.
