Daily Crypto Roundup: Bitcoin Battles $65K, SpaceX IPO Shock, Dogecoin Rally & Bitcoin Quantum Warning

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Welcome back to the Daily Crypto Roundup. Today, the crypto market is trying to recover after one of Bitcoin's roughest weeks in months. But this is not a clean victory lap yet. Bitcoin has steadied above $63,000 after briefly dropping below $60,000.
SpaceX has just delivered one of the biggest IPO moments in market history. Dogecoin is moving again because of the Elon Musk effect. Tokenized stocks have just had their first real stress test, and Bitcoin's long-term quantum security debate is suddenly getting a lot more serious. So today, we are covering Bitcoin's late macro rescue. The key $65,000 level traders are now watching. Why the SpaceX IPO matters for crypto. What went wrong with some tokenized stock products? Why Dogecoin rallied after Musk's trillionaire moment? And why some of the world's top cryptographers are now warning Bitcoin to prepare for the quantum era?
And before we get into it, this episode is brought to you by Kraken. Kraken is one of the most established names in crypto. And if you are looking to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin or other major crypto assets, you can check out Kraken using the link in the description. As always, crypto carries risk, prices move fast, and you should only invest what you can afford to lose. But if you are looking for a serious exchange with deep liquidity, strong security and a long track record in the space, Kraken is one of the names worth looking at. Now let's get into the market. Bitcoin is trading around the $63,000 to $64,000 area after a brutal week that saw it fall from close to $73,000 down below $60,000.
That move mattered because it briefly pushed Bitcoin into the kind of valuation zone that analysts often associate with bear market bottoms.
But there is one important difference. We did not get a full panic flush. We did not get the kind of complete capitulation that usually marks a clean bottom.
That is why this market still feels uncertain.
On one side, Bitcoin bounced hard enough to stop the immediate panic. On the other side, the recovery still needs confirmation. ETF flows need to stabilize. Large buyers need to come back. And traders need to see whether this was a real bottom or just a relief rally after a sharp sell-off.
The rebound came after a few major macro pressures started to ease. Oil prices cooled after tensions around Iran appeared to soften. Stocks recovered and risk assets got a boost from the SpaceX listing. That helped Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and other major coins move higher into the weekend. Ethereum was around $1,663.
Solana was near $67.
XRP was around $1.13.
Dogecoin was trading around the 0.087 area after briefly touching around 0.091. Bitcoin itself was hovering around the mid $63,000.
But here is the key point. The market is not fully bullish again just because Bitcoin bounced. The level everyone is watching now is around $65,000.
Bitcoin has been forming higher lows since the recent drop near $59,000.
And traders are watching the $64,900 to $65,000 zone as immediate resistance. If Bitcoin can break through that level with strength, the next upside targets being discussed are around $66,700, then $68,500, and potentially the psychological $70,000 level. That would completely change the mood. But if Bitcoin fails at $65,000, then the bearish argument comes straight back into play. Galaxy Digital's Alex Thorne has warned that Bitcoin may not have reached its true cycle bottom yet. His argument is based on historical cycle behavior, and he has suggested that if this cycle follows previous patterns, the real bottom may not arrive until the fourth quarter of 2026
That is a pretty serious warning. Galaxy's downside scenarios reportedly include a shallow bottom around $51,000 to $54,000, a base case bottom around $40,000 to $46,000, and a harsher washout that could take Bitcoin into the $30,000 to $39,000 range.
Now, that does not mean Bitcoin is definitely going there. It means the market is split. The bulls are looking at the bounce, the higher lows, improving sentiment, and the $65,000 breakout setup. The bears are looking at ETF outflows, lack of capitulation, weak risk appetite, and the possibility that this cycle still has one more deep reset ahead. This is why the next move matters so much.
If Bitcoin clears $65,000, the story becomes recovery. If Bitcoin rejects there, the story becomes failed bounce.
Now one of the biggest surprises this week was the reaction to Strategy, Michael Saylor's company. Strategy disclosed that it sold 32 Bitcoin for around $2.5 million to help fund dividends on its preferred shares. In financial terms, that is tiny compared with its huge Bitcoin pile. Strategy still holds hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin. So the sale itself is not the issue. The issue is symbolism. Michael Saylor built his entire public identity around never selling Bitcoin.
