Saylor ate. The tax man knocks tomorrow
While retail was panic-selling their cornbread, Saylor was quietly ordering seconds — and now the check is due for everyone else.
BTC got tired of sitting below $74,788 and walked right through it — fresh 14-day high, ETH running even hotter at +8.96%. The IRS serves tomorrow with $2.8 billion in estimated forced selling — but the smart money already ate the dip, and history says the bounce comes after.
TODAY'S BOARD
BTC $74,778 (+5.53%) — $74,788 ceiling cleared. $76,100 is the only gate left.
ETH $2,389 (+8.96%) — $2,377 rejection high absorbed. ETH leading BTC.
IRS Deadline — April 15 — tomorrow — $2.8B selling. $73K / $2,300 are the dip levels. Hold = buy. Break = wait.

Core Setup — The Tax Man's Tap at the Door: $2.8B Coming, $73K Holds the Kitchen
The IRS serves tomorrow — $2.8 billion in estimated selling, mechanical not conviction. Historically, BTC averages a 5-8% rally in the two weeks after April 15. Does $73,000 hold Wednesday? If yes, $76,100 is the next target. The institutional receipt is already public: Strategy bought 13,927 BTC at $71,902 between April 6–12 — right at the fear bottom. They catered the dip.
