Well, I’ll be dipped! That there fella John Bollinger-the same gentleman who invented them wiggly lines traders stare at like they’re tea leaves-has gone and taken a shine to Bitcoin again. Seems the digital whatchamacallit crawled back over eighty thousand dollars, and old Bollinger’s trend-model contraption started buzzin’ like a sawmill. He declares it a “buy,” and would you believe it, his fund’s “Tactica” program has gone and put all its marbles in BTC. Fully invested, he says. May the good Lord watch over ’em.
He took to the digital grapevine-X, they call it, used to be Twitter-to announce this epiphany. One moment you’re sippin’ coffee, the next you’re readin’ that a man who draws bands for a living has bet the farm on a coin that’s worth more than a good mule.
Yesterday our trend model for Bitcoin turned positive and we took a position in our Tactica program, which is now fully invested. $BTC

Now, I don’t doubt the man’s got a sharp pencil, but when it comes to these here crypto predictions, a fella’s track record is about as reliable as a weather vane in a tornado. Still, the crowd’s all a-flutter. Maybe this ain’t just another dead-cat bounce-though I’ve seen dead cats bounce higher than some hopeful traders.
The Long and Winding Road to Eighty-Eight Thousand
Bitcoin’s been clamberin’ up like a squirrel on a greased pole since May began. Higher highs, higher lows, and enough green candles to make a gardener weep with joy. This very mornin’, it poked its head up to eighty-two thousand four hundred-a sight not seen in months, they say. A regular alpine ascent, only with more screens screamin’.

According to the number-crunchin’ gents at Santiment, even at eighty-two thousand eight hundred, Bitcoin’s still in the red for the year by six percent. They reckon it’s gotta hit eighty-eight thousand just to break even for 2026. That’s the magic number, the psychological stepping stone, the “please, sir, may I have some more” level.
📊 Bitcoin’s climb back to $82.8K has left crypto’s top asset with a YTD return of -6%. During the early February crash, $BTC was down as much as -27%. Expect $88K, which would put the asset back to even on the year, to be a major stepping stone to attract several traders and…

The bulls are chargin’ ahead, no doubt, propped up by them new-fangled ETF appetites. But Glassnode, them sharp-eyed analytics fellas, points out a pesky “ceiling” loomin’ near eighty-five thousand. Seems there’s a heap of supply waitin’ up there-like a picnic basket hung just outta reach. All them souls who bought near the old highs might be lookin’ to offload their bags the moment they break even. Can’t say I blame ’em; I’d sell a kidney to break even on some of my investments.
So the road ahead’s got a traffic jam of sellers. Any more climbin’ might need to be mighty strong to muscle through that overhang. Otherwise, we’re liable to see a reversal that’ll make a politician’s promise look steadfast. But hey, Bollinger’s bought in, so maybe we’re just witnessin’ the beginnin’ of a grand adventure-or the beginnin’ of a grand comedy. Time’ll tell, and time’s got a wicked sense of humor.
