PlanB Hits the Brakes on the Bull Run: $54k Detour on the Moon Ticket?

Bitcoin finally caught a lucky break in March 2026, gaining a whopping 2% and ending what can only be described as a truly miserable five-month losing streak. But before you start planning the lambo emoji parade, pseudonymous analyst PlanB is here to throw ice water on your celebratory champagne and remind everyone that the crypto world absolutely loves a good rug-pull plot twist.
