Bitcoin reclaims the eighty thousand dollar level for the first time since January, fueled by institutional ETF flows approaching three point three billion over two months-but traders remain divided on whether momentum can sustain above eighty-five thousand. GameStop stuns markets with a fifty-five point five billion dollar takeover bid for eBay at one hundred twenty-five dollars per share, sending eBay up thirteen percent premarket while raising questions about financing feasibility. GlobalFoundries surges over eight percent after Cantor Fitzgerald upgrade ahead of investor day, unveiling new packaging technology. Geopolitical tensions continue to impact crude markets with Brent near one hundred twelve dollars per barrel as Strait of Hormuz risks persist. Strategy pauses Bitcoin purchases before Tuesday earnings, Hubbell acquires NSI Industries for three billion, and the crypto industry backs CLARITY Act compromise with Senate markup expected this month.
