Core Setup — The U.S. Treasury Opens the Kitchen
BTC is acting like a pure liquidity sponge right now. The U.S. Treasury just shoved a massive $35 billion liquidity injection into short-term funding markets to grease the wheels, and risk assets immediately grabbed a plate and started feasting. This isn't just a regular weekend pump; this is structural liquidity giving BTC the exact calorie count it needs to hold the $78,000 floor and reload for a sprint toward $79,200.
While Bitcoin eats the main course, Ethereum whales are refusing to let their bags starve. Over the last 96 hours, big eaters swallowed up a staggering 140,000 ETH (roughly $322 million). They stepped up to the table and completely boxed out the bears, absorbing all the overhead selling pressure and successfully flipping the $2,300 line into a solid floor.
