BTCUSD Corrects After $108K High, $92K Support Level in
Focus
BTCUSD has been undergoing a bearish correction on the daily
chart. After
reaching a high of $108K, it has been moving south with strong momentum.
However, the $92,000 level appears to be a potential support. The price has
reacted at this level multiple times before, and last week, it formed a bullish
Pin Bar on the daily chart. These factors make this level an important one to
watch.

MicroStrategy Appoints New Bitcoin-Focused Board
The company has also made leadership changes. New board
members include Brian Brooks, former CEO of Binance.US and US Comptroller of
the Currency; Jane Dietze, a board member at Galaxy Digital; and Gregg
Winiarski from Fanatics Holdings. These additions signal the company’s focus on
Bitcoin.
Michael Saylor, co-founder and outspoken Bitcoin advocate,
has reaffirmed his belief in buying Bitcoin at peak prices throughout its life
cycle.
Earlier, MicroStrategy
acquired an additional 15,350 BTC for about $1.5 billion. Despite
increasing its Bitcoin reserves, the company faces scepticism regarding its
strategy of funding acquisitions through equity and debt, as reported by Finance Magnates.
With a $92
billion market capitalization, MicroStrategy’s stock is trading at a premium
relative to its Bitcoin net asset value, which has raised concerns among
investors.
