Monthly Market Rhythm Playbook January–April Transition Analysis for Midterm Years (SPX) Every market cycle begins the same way — the bull and the bear step into the ring. January throws the first punch, often exposing stress and hidden weakness. February responds, testing whether fear was overdone.

This playbook focuses on how the market transitions ...

The Bitcoin Treasury Flywheel Following that decision, Strategy engineered a repeatable capital-markets framework centered on Bitcoin accumulation. By issuing equity at market premiums and raising zero-coupon conve...
