Strategy Finally Returns to Profit as Bitcoin Hits New Highs

Strategy is officially back in the green on its massive holdings. With an average purchase price of $75,577, the company had been underwater for weeks, but the latest price jump has completely reversed those losses. Strategy stock is also now trading above its 200-week moving average, which is a key long-term trend line that shows whether a company is in a healthy growth phase or a slump.

Bitcoin Smashes Through the 100-Day Price Barrier

The king of crypto has officially broken out of a two-month slump, leaving the previous fear-driven sellers in the dust.

For the first time since February, Bitcoin has decisively closed above its 100-day moving average of $74,774. This specific price level had acted like a ceiling for months, rejecting every attempt at a rally in late February and mid-March. The asset has signaled that the bulls are back in control as it cleared $76,300 and pushed all the way to $77,342.

Analysts note that this move is particularly notable because it comes after a long period of consolidation, suggesting that the next leg of the journey toward the $100,000 mark could be starting now.
