Restaking: The Wild West of Institutional Adoption 🤠

According to a recent report from P2P.org and CryptoMoon Research, the journey of restaking is far from over.

This arrangement, my dears, is reminiscent of a symmetrical triangle, a pattern often preceding a delightful price squeeze. Such triangles are known to herald spikes in volatility, and given the current trend, a bullish breakout seems almost inevitable. 🚀

Bitcoin Achieves Peak Investor Anxiety-Hodlers Eye Exit Signs 🤯

Meanwhile, the Cumulative Volume Delta did a swift u-turn from “everyone panic-sell” to “meh”. Trading volume shrank 22%, presumably because most traders were busy googling “how to explain candles to your mother”. 🕯️
