This Update Is Brought To You By Bitbo
We are excited to announce one of Bitbo’s newest trading charts:

Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool that was invented by John Bollinger in the 1980s.
They are used to measure the volatility of a financial asset, like Bitcoin, over a specified period of time.
Bollinger Bands comprise three lines:
A middle band representing a simple moving average (typically 20-day)
Two outer bands that are standard deviations away from the middle band
A WEAK DXY IS BULLISH FOR BITCOIN
We don’t usually cheer for declines… but when the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) drops, it’s fair game to celebrate.
Why?
Because a weaker dollar is historically bullish for crypto and other risk assets.
U.S. Dollar $DXY on track for its worst first half since 1986 🚨🚨

The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is a measure of the U.S. dollar’s strength relative to a basket of major foreign currencies, including the euro, yen, pound, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, and Swiss franc.
When the DXY rises, it means the dollar is gaining strength compared to those currencies; when it falls, the dollar is weakening.
This index is closely watched by investors because a stronger dollar often puts pressure on risk assets like crypto, while a weaker dollar typically supports higher prices for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Right now, the DXY is having its worst first half of the year in nearly 40 years – and that’s a big deal.
Take a look at this chart to see the correlation:

📉 DXY Down → BTC Up (3 months later)
It’s not just a dip. The DXY has broken its multi-year uptrend, confirmed with a break → retest → continuation pattern.

Bottom line:
If this trend holds, we could see significant upside for crypto in both the short- and long-term.
So yeah, now’s a good time to be paying attention.

SOL’S RISE ON CORPORATE BALANCE SHEETS
We’ve talked at length about Bitcoin and Ethereum as treasury assets.
But Solana ($SOL)?
Not so much.
Today, that changes. Here are the publicly listed companies already holding $SOL.X ( ▼ 0.7% )

Source: Globenewswire
Now, why would they do that?
🔍 $SOL doesn’t have an ETF, and lacks the institutional track record of $BTC and $ETH. But it does offer something special:
➡️ Price Sensitivity to Capital Inflows
With today’s market caps:
BTC = $2.1T
ETH = $308B
SOL = $78B
What happens when $10B is added?
SOL: +12.8%
ETH: +3.24%
BTC: +0.47%
💡 The takeaway? Smaller assets move more—and $SOL’s upside is magnified when treasury capital comes in.
Sure, that means greater risk. But some companies may see the potential reward outweighing the downside.
As for me? I’m all in on $SOL—despite my team begging me to hedge.
(I’ll let you know if I show up on Monday with a more diversified bag and a suspiciously black eye.)

WAR AND BITCOIN: WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
Bitcoin just experienced a dramatic plunge — and a swift recovery — following a sudden escalation in the Middle East.

The U.S. and Israel conducted coordinated airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, triggering immediate retaliation: missiles, drone strikes, and a threat to close the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global oil supply.

In the chaos:
Over $1B in crypto positions were liquidated
Bitcoin dropped below $100,000 for the first time in over a month
Ethereum saw nearly $300M in long liquidations
Altcoins, especially AI tokens and small caps, plummeted up to 20%
Then came the turnaround.
By Sunday night, Bitcoin bounced back, oil prices remained stable, and gold even cooled slightly. Iran resumed diplomatic discussions, this time via Moscow.
Swyftx analyst Pav Hundal put it best:
“Uncertainty is the enemy of traders. But if things calm, confidence returns. Wars don’t damage Bitcoin – they underscore its value.”
💡 Bottom Line:
Geopolitical uncertainty shakes markets in the short term. But smart investors know that fiat currencies weaken in war, while Bitcoin’s thesis strengthens. Panic selling during a crisis? Like tossing your lifeboat when the storm hits.

BTC ISN’T RISING, YOUR DOLLAR IS DYING
Jeff Booth is sounding the alarm: the financial system is shifting beneath our feet.
While most people see Bitcoin’s price rising, Booth says they’re missing the bigger picture.
It's not about Bitcoin gaining—it’s about fiat currencies failing. This isn’t inflation or deflation, he argues—it's a real-time monetary reset.
Booth uses real-world examples to drive it home: houses and energy are getting cheaper in Bitcoin terms.
That means Bitcoin isn’t volatile—fiat is.
He believes that as long as Bitcoin remains decentralized and secure, it will become the ultimate measure of value.
Clinging to fiat is a slow bleed; Bitcoin is the lifeboat.
