Bitcoin’s U.S. Hour Curse: Will It Break or Just Take a Nap? 😴💰

Well, gather ’round, folks, and let’s jaw about the markets-a place where fortunes are made and lost faster than a catfish can wriggle out of a wet handkerchief. 🤑

What to know (or pretend to know at the next cocktail party):

Bitcoin, that digital darling, hopped above $89,000 overnight, but the bulls are puffing harder than a steam locomotive uphill. Will they hold, or will the U.S. session send ’em packin’ again? 🤠
ETH, SOL, and SUI are leading the altcoin parade, up over 5% from Thursday’s lows. Hooray for the underdogs! 🐶
U.S. equities are flexing like a strongman at a county fair, giving crypto-related stocks like BitMine and Galaxy a much-needed boost. 💪

Now, Bitcoin bulls are scrappin’ like alley cats on a Friday, trying to break the curse of U.S. trading hour selloffs. It’s like trying to keep a frog in a wheelbarrow-every time they think they’ve got it, plop, off it goes. 🦎

Thursday afternoon saw BTC dip below $85,000, but like a bad penny, it turned up again after U.S. markets closed, climbing back above $89,000 by Friday morning. But that level? Oh, it’s slipperier than a greased pig, capping every breakout attempt with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker. ⏰

The big cheese of crypto is sittin’ pretty at $88,400, up a modest 0.3% in the last 24 hours. Not exactly a barn-burner, but hey, it’s not losin’ its shirt either. 👔

Ether nearly kissed $3,000, up 1% in the past day, while Solana’s SOL and the rest of the altcoin gang led the overnight rebound. It’s like a second-string team finally gettin’ their moment in the sun. ☀️

Meanwhile, U.S. equities are havin’ a hootenanny, with the Nasdaq up 1% and AI bigwigs like Nvidia, Oracle, and AMD risin’ 3%-6%. It’s a regular tech-stock jamboree! 🎉

Digital asset stocks are joinin’ the party too. BitMine (BMNR) is up nearly 8%, Galaxy Digital (GLXY) and Circle (CRCL) are each up around 3%, and Strategy (MSTR), the corporate BTC heavyweight, bounced over 3%, pushin’ its mNAV to 1.09. It’s like everybody’s dancin’ except the fiddler. 🎻

And let’s not forget BitDigital (BTBT), up 10% after WhiteFibre (WYFI) signed a 10-year, 40MW colocation deal with Nscale, worth a cool $865 million. BitDigital owns 70% of WhiteFibre, so it’s like they hit the jackpot twice. 🤑

So, will Bitcoin break the curse, or will it just take a nap and try again next week? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure-the markets are never short on drama. 🎭
