☀  The Read

Where the chart sits — description, not prediction

Bitcoin is trading above both its 50-day ($76.9K) and 200-day ($71.2K) averages — the longer-term trend reads as up. Over the past 30 days it has traded between $75.6K and $86.6K; today's price sits in the upper third of that range. RSI(14) is 77 — territory traditionally described as overbought.

Crypto 101

How is crypto taxed in the US?

The IRS treats crypto as property: selling, trading one coin for another, or spending it are all taxable events. Records matter — exchanges now report to the IRS too.

“If an APY looks too good to be true, it is funding someone else's exit.”
