Bitcoin continues to hold above the $23,000 psychological level for bulls as it nears the end of the month. The industry’s largest cryptocurrency by market cap may have another continuation signal to conquer new annual highs in its 50-month moving average indicator.

This is a key threshold for Bitcoin if bulls expect an uptrend above the $25,000 resistance level. For the data and research analysis firm Material Indicators, a monthly close above the 50-month moving average (MA) could signal a medium-term win for the bulls.

What’s Ahead For Bitcoin In March?

According to a recent post on Twitter by an analyst from Material Indicators, the battle for the directional bias of BTC is currently being fought between bulls and bears at the 50-day moving average (MA). A close between the 50-month MA could lead to a green monthly close and a continuation of the range that Bitcoin has experienced in recent weeks.

In addition, a close above the 50-month MA will provide the bulls with the momentum they need to continue the uptrend BTC has been in since January and a further test of the nearest resistance walls holding the price action in the current range.

On the other hand, a close below $23,128 for Bitcoin could result in a red month for the largest crypto asset in the market, invalidating the uptrend and a possible retest of the lows and support levels that are key to prevent further declines in BTC’s price. Material Indicators said:

Would like to see more BTC bid liquidity enter the active trading range to increase the chances of closing the Monthly candle above the 50-Month Moving Average. Volume has been weak, so at this stage doesn’t feel bullish.

Bull Market Signal For BTC

Another bullish signal has been spotted on the Bitcoin charts, indicating the crypto-winter thaw and spring’s bloom in the BTC price.

The Pi Cycle Top/Bottom Indicator predicts the cycle top and bottom of the Bitcoin market cycles. It attempts to predict the point at which the price of BTC will peak before falling and vice-versa. This indicator has historically been effective at predicting the market cycle timing tops within 3 days. It demonstrates the cyclical nature of Bitcoin’s price over longer time frames.

According to a Twitter post by CryptoCon, a technical analyst and long-term data researcher, the Pi Cycle top/bottom indicator has signaled the beginning of a new bull market.

CryptoCon noted that after a year of decline, the yellow 111-day MA has begun to ascend, as seen in the chart above.

This indicator uses the 111-day moving average (111-MA) and a newly created multiple of the 350-day moving average, the 350DMAx2 (the multiple is calculated from the values of the 350-MA, not the number of days). Whenever the 111 DMA has turned and peaked to the upside, it has marked the beginning of a bull market, as in the previous cycles of 2012, 2015, and 2020.

BTC is approaching the monthly close well above $23,000, which could lead to a green close and a short-term win for the bulls. If not, the bears will test the supports at $22,500 for a possible further test of the $21,000 level.

Bitcoin is trading at $23,500, down -1.1% for the past 24 hours. BTC has seen a significant profit decrease in the broader time frame, with a drop of -5.2% over the past seven days. In the fourteen and 30-day time frames, it has managed to maintain gains of 7.8% and 2.1%, respectively.

Citrini Research: Taking Stock of 5 Major Investment Themes Overshadowed by the AI Trade

Citrini Research identifies five under-the-radar investment themes potentially overshadowed by the dominant AI trade. With capital and analyst attention overwhelmingly focused on AI infrastructure, these overlooked areas present alpha opportunities as market dynamics shift. **Theme 1: Airlines** – Despite strong fundamentals, stocks like Delta and United have been penalized for 18 months due to macro concerns (tariff-inflation, oil prices), not profitability. A rebound is expected as these headwinds fade, aided by trends like premiumization and the 2026 World Cup. **Theme 2: Senior Housing** – A pure demographic play. The U.S. population over 80 is projected to grow 56% in the next decade, drastically outpacing supply. This creates a compelling need for facilities, benefiting REITs like Welltower and operators like Brookdale. **Theme 3: Live Events & Entertainment** – "Being there" is becoming a luxury. This sector has outperformed even tech over the past decade. Companies like TKO Group (WWE/UFC), Cinemark, and IMAX are capitalizing on demand for premium, in-person experiences. **Theme 4: Exchange Competition** – CME Group's ~98% monopoly in U.S. interest rate derivatives faces its first real challenge from FMX Futures Exchange. Backed by major Wall Street banks, FMX offers lower fees and margin savings. While CME's deep liquidity remains an advantage, FMX provides a competitive alternative. **Theme 5: Fintech Recovery** – Heavily sold off in 2026, fintech stocks like SoFi, Robinhood, and Upstart are showing signs of a rebound based on improving fundamentals—SoFi's stablecoin launch, Robinhood's transformation into a "financial super app," and Upstart's renewed AI lending narrative—rather than a change in sector outlook. The report advises maintaining some AI exposure but diversifying into these neglected "small themes" where mispricing exists due to a simple shortage of investor attention.

21Shares Mid-Year Key Report: Bitcoin's Four-Year Cycle Remains Intact, Stablecoins and Tokenization Emerge as New Growth Engines

21Shares Mid-Year Report 2026: Bitcoin Cycle Intact, Stablecoins & Tokenization Emerge as New Engines This mid-year review assesses progress against 21Shares' ten predictions for 2026. While the overarching shift from narrative to fundamentals holds, performance varies. Key findings show Bitcoin's four-year cycle remains evident despite market maturation. Global crypto ETP AUM has declined to ~$140B, lagging the $400B target, though product innovation continues. Stablecoin supply surpassed $320B, demonstrating non-cyclical demand but falling short of the $1T forecast due to slower regulatory clarity. DeFi TVL, stalled at ~$140B, was hindered by major security incidents. Corporate crypto treasuries hold ~1.28M BTC ($100B), with consolidation pressuring weaker players. Prediction markets are on track, with $57.5B volume already surpassing half the $100B annual target. AI agent infrastructure is ready, but adoption is early. Ethereum L2 consolidation is underway, with the top 5 capturing nearly 90% of activity. Compliant token launches have a platform but lack mainstream volume. Tokenized RWAs total ~$31B on public chains, but institutional pipeline growth is strong. In summary, fundamentals like stablecoins, tokenization, and prediction markets are advancing, but targets require faster adoption or price appreciation. The market is maturing, yet cyclical patterns persist.

Stock Price Hits New High! Corning Targets CPO Optical Interconnect Market

TL;DR Corning's stock recently hit a new high, driven partly by investor interest in its role within AI data center optical interconnects. At a recent conference, Corning showcased its GlassBridge technology, a glass-based optical bridge designed to connect fibers to photonic integrated chips (PICs). This component targets challenges in Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) architectures by aiming to reduce coupling loss and simplify the precise alignment needed between optical fibers and nanoscale chip waveguides. The core issue GlassBridge addresses is the significant dimensional mismatch between fibers and PICs, which causes signal loss and assembly complexity. Corning leverages its glass and fiber expertise to create a platform it claims offers low coupling loss (demonstrating 1.5dB) and supports passive alignment. The broader vision extends to glass-based substrates with through-glass vias for advanced CPO packaging. While positioning itself as a solutions provider from cables to chip-level interconnects, Corning's GlassBridge is currently a technological showcase. Its path to widespread adoption in AI servers depends on overcoming hurdles in mass production yield, cost, thermal management, and crucially, validation and integration into future customer platforms from major cloud and chip companies competing with alternative solutions like silicon photonics.

Reddit Retail Traders 'Save' U.S. Fast Food Giant WEN, Sending Stock Price Soaring 42% in One Day Before Spreading to On-Chain Meme

US fast-food chain Wendy's (WEN) saw its stock surge 42% intraday and close over 25% higher on June 24 after a Reddit WallStreetBets post titled "We need to save Wendy's" went viral. Trading volume exploded to over 200 million shares, nearly 20 times its average, driven by retail buying. The rally was fueled by a high short interest of around 34%, creating conditions for a short squeeze. Beyond the meme frenzy, the appointment of a new CFO and rumors of a potential privatization led by major investor Nelson Peltz provided a fundamental narrative. The momentum spread to the crypto market, where a Solana-based meme coin named WEN, unrelated to the company, soared over 1450% in 24 hours.

Super Spiral Mega-Boom, Micron's Earnings Report Rekindles the Semiconductor Bull Run

On June 25, 2026, Micron Technology released its blockbuster Q3 FY2026 results, significantly exceeding market expectations and reigniting confidence in the semiconductor bull market. Revenue soared to $41.456 billion (vs. ~$35.4B expected), up 346% year-over-year, while GAAP net profit surged nearly 15 times to $28.243 billion. Guidance for Q4 was even more striking, with projected revenue of approximately $50 billion, far surpassing prior estimates. The report highlighted that the AI boom is now fueling growth across Micron's entire product stack, not just HBM. Cloud memory, core data center, SSD, mobile, and automotive businesses all saw revenue growth exceeding 250-600%, with margins hovering around 80%. While HBM4 is already in volume shipment and 2026 capacity is sold out, AI-driven demand is also tightening supply for traditional DRAM and NAND, sustaining a strong pricing cycle. A pivotal development is Micron's shift toward a "demand-first" model. The company disclosed 16 long-term strategic customer agreements (SCAs), most spanning 5 years to 2030, covering about 20% of DRAM and one-third of NAND shipments. These are take-or-pay contracts, with 14 agreements already securing roughly $100 billion in guaranteed future revenue and $22 billion in customer performance assurances. To fulfill this locked-in demand, Micron plans substantial capacity expansion, with Q4 capital expenditure projected at ~$10 billion. This investment, backed by concrete long-term orders rather than cyclical speculation, marks a historic change for the memory industry. Following the earnings release, Micron's stock surged 16% after-hours, lifting the broader semiconductor sector globally. The report served as a powerful signal that AI infrastructure build-out is accelerating, with memory positioned as a central protagonist in the ongoing narrative.
