<description>&lt;p&gt;Bitcoin tapped a new ATH, dipped, then snapped back. In this roundup, Josh Friedeman, Jon Gordon (Satoshi Health Advisors / NosFabrica), and Trey Sellers (Unchained) break down why the move wasn’t a real crash, what would actually create a deep washout, and why $100K now feels like the floor. We also hit the week’s biggest signals: Harvard’s $116M Bitcoin exposure and what it means for endowments, Scott Bessent’s walk-back on a U.S. “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” Block’s Proto modular mining rigs, and the Fed easing bespoke oversight on banks touching Bitcoin (“novel activities”)&lt;/p&gt;
