Bitcoin bottomed, will climb higher.
Bitcoin has bottomed around 60K due to extreme fear/greed, Saylor's aggressive buying via MSTR/STRK, and reflexivity. The inability to break lower despite bad news signals a bottom. He remains long spot Bitcoin, expecting it to climb higher.
BTC HIGH

Hyperliquid perps leader, bullish momentum.
Hyperliquid is the leading perpetuals DEX with structural tailwinds (perps, RWA, IPOs). It has a PvE community, no VCs, generous airdrop, and is easy to root for. The chart shows strength, and he expects the token to continue rising as more volume and value accrue to it.
HYPE HIGH

Zcash breakout, strong upside potential.
Zcash is a privacy coin with a 10-year breakout, reflexive dynamics, improving fundamentals (shielded pool usage, regulatory clarity), and serves as a hedge against Bitcoin risks (Saylor, quantum, privacy). It has strong community support and is easy to root for. He bought more ZEC as a high-upside altcoin.
ZEC HIGH
