Crypto opened the week green after its worst week since 2024. Strategy resumed buying Bitcoin, SBF filed for a pardon, and MetaMask armed AI agents, with Wednesday's CPI the real test.
BTC is pressing $79K with $630 million in Friday ETF inflows behind it. But liquidity maps are flashing a setup that has burned bulls before.
