Bitcoin Just Entered The DCA Zone Again, Why This Is A Good Time To Buy

Merlijn took to X (formerly known as Twitter, because apparently we needed another rebrand) to tell us that Bitcoin has sauntered back into the DCA zone, according to the rainbow chart. Now, if you’re wondering, “What is this DCA zone thing?” it’s simple: every time Bitcoin returns here, we’re told to buy, and every time, there’s a massive rally. But, and this is important-retail investors have this weird habit of panicking and selling. You know, the usual. Merlijn assures us that this chart has never been wrong, which is comforting… until it’s wrong.

ServiceNow: A Quiet Retreat

The price dipped as much as 6% at one point, a rather noticeable tremor, though it eventually stabilized around a 3.5% reduction by late morning. One wonders if these fluctuations truly reflect a reasoned assessment of the company’s prospects, or merely a collective sigh of unease.

AI & the Market: Two Cases for Caution

CoreWeave, a provider of cloud infrastructure tailored for AI applications, has undeniably benefited from the prevailing demand. Triple-digit revenue growth is impressive, and a reported backlog of $67 billion for 2025 appears substantial. However, figures alone tell a limited story. The company’s reported negative free cash flow of $4.75 billion in 2025, coupled with liquidity of only $3.1 billion, reveals a fundamental imbalance. Reliance on debt – currently exceeding $21 billion, a significant increase from $14 billion in a single quarter – is not a sustainable strategy. Planned capital expenditures of $30 to $35 billion this year will only exacerbate the problem. The market, it seems, is willing to overlook these realities for now, but such leniency is rarely permanent.

BioNTech’s Faint Bloom

The present disquiet gripping shareholders of BioNTech SE (BNTX 21.67%) stems not from this minor arithmetic imperfection, but from a confluence of less readily quantifiable anxieties. Disappointing guidance for the fiscal year unfolding before us, coupled with the announced departure—or, perhaps more accurately, the refocusing of energies—of its founding intellects, has induced a predictably visceral reaction. The market, ever the excitable lepidopterist, flutters and descends at the slightest perceived threat. As of 11:47 a.m. ET Tuesday, BNTX shares experienced a rather dramatic shedding of value—a 20.9% diminution, to be precise.

Tensile Capital’s Vertex Trim: A Mildly Dramatic Exit

According to the SEC filing – because everything needs a paper trail these days, even mild course corrections – Tensile’s stake in Vertex shrank by about 10%. Now, before you start envisioning a full-scale stock exodus, let’s remember this isn’t like dumping a bad date; they still hold over 3.4 million shares. Think of it as…editing the guest list. The overall value of their position took a $26.01 million hit, which, let’s be honest, is a number that makes my accountant sweat just looking at it. That’s a combo of actual selling and, you know, the stock doing its own thing.

Kohl’s: A Fleeting Rally

The company reported earnings of $1.07 per share, exceeding analyst expectations of $0.85, despite a slight shortfall in sales. This discrepancy – profit rising while revenue stagnates – should give pause. It suggests a reliance on cost-cutting, a tactic with inherent limitations.

The Quiet Yield: A Season for Value

Meanwhile, a different sort of bloom is occurring. The industries built on enduring need—energy, the sinews of industry, the raw materials of our world—are stirring. They are not shouting their success, but rather offering a quiet strength. And alongside them, the defensive sectors—those providing the necessities, the staples of life, the utilities that keep the lights burning—are also finding favor. It is a natural rhythm, like the earth tilting towards the sun.

Realty Income: Because Adulting Requires Dividends

Which brings us to Realty Income (O +0.34%). Yes, it sounds like a villain in a Dickens novel, but it’s actually one of the world’s largest real estate investment trusts (REITs). They own a frankly alarming number of properties – over 15,500 – across the US, the UK, and a surprisingly robust portfolio in Europe. Basically, they’re the landlords of America…and a few other countries. And right now, they’re worth a look for anyone who likes getting paid, which, let’s face it, is most of us.

IREN: A Cloud with a Silver Lining, Perhaps?

IREN, you see, has reinvented itself – or is attempting to – as one of these “neoclouds.” A rather ghastly term, isn’t it? Essentially, they’re Bitcoin miners who’ve decided chasing cryptocurrency is frightfully déclassé and have pivoted to housing artificial intelligence. One assumes they’ve realized that algorithms, unlike Bitcoin enthusiasts, rarely demand constant reassurance.

Brinker & Bay: A Peculiar Alignment

This isn’t just a purchase, you see. It’s a 2.63% stake as of December 31, 2025, in Broad Bay’s reported assets under management. Which, when you think about it, is a remarkably specific number. One wonders if they used a dartboard, or perhaps a particularly sophisticated algorithm involving the Fibonacci sequence and the price of tea in China. (The tea, naturally, is Earl Grey. Anything else would be illogical.)
