The Oracle of Omaha.
Compass 174
In our previous Compass, we considered the $93K–$95K range as Bitcoin’s immediate territory and anticipated a potential breakout, which indeed occurred. We noted:
That’s why a basic principle of range formation is to avoid entering in the middle of the range — and certainly not at the top. The upper boundary is also well-defined: $97K–$98.5K. Historically, this area has acted as a transition zone toward $100K, with price often getting rejected both on the way up and down.
