Bitcoin Nears $107K – But This May Not Be the Top
by Kerry Lutz, Financial Survival Network:
As Bitcoin approaches record highs, investors are asking the same question they asked in 2017 and 2021: Is this another top?
I called both of those previous peaks—not with hype, but with the help of Martin Armstrong’s Economic Confidence Model, which has guided my market timing for over a decade. But as I prepare to attend the upcoming Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas, I’m not sounding the alarm. This time, the signals are different.
Let’s explore why.
Bitcoin Tops $73,000 After Record-Breaking Billion-Dollar ETF Inflow
from ZeroHedge:
After kneejerking lower by over $4,000 after yesterday’s hot CPI print, bitcoin has recovered all those losses and then some, to top a fresh record high of $73,600 this morning…
“Bitcoin wiped out overleveraged longs, retested the 2021 cycle high & then bounced back to $72,000,” popular trader Jelle summarized on X, adding that the landscape was now “looking good” for upside continuation.

Italy’s Largest Bank Makes Its First Bitcoin Purchase In $1 Million “Test”
from ZeroHedge:
Italy’s biggest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, has made history by becoming the first Italian financial institution to buy 11 bitcoins for a “test” purchase worth $1 million.
Initially a widespread rumor, Bloomberg has confirmed that Italy’s largest banking giant has indeed dipped its toes in Bitcoin. According to an internal memo, the financial institution completed its first proprietary Bitcoin trade, investing the funds into the world’s largest digital currency.
“It’s very small amounts, considering we have 100 billion euros in our securities portfolio,” Intesa CEO Carlo Messina told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Milan on Tuesday. “It’s an experiment, a test.”
Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill Passes The Senate
from Activist Post:
In a vote of 25-5, Texas’ bitcoin reserve legislation has been approved by the Senate. It will now advance to the House.
Today, the Texas Senate has passed SB 21, a bill aimed at creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the state, by a vote of 25-5. The bill will now advance to the Texas House for further consideration.
Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick identified SB 21 as a priority bill for the 2025 legislative session this past January. The bill aims to position Texas as a leader in Bitcoin adoption by establishing a reserve of BTC, which proponents argue will serve as a hedge against economic instability and inflation.
