To The Moon

$Riot Platforms(RIOT)$ 🚀🔥🎯 $RIOT Is Primed for a Breakout & I’m Betting on the Hash Ribbon Ignitions🎯🔥🚀

⚡ While everyone’s glued to Riot’s earnings chatter, I’m focused on something bigger. Underneath the noise, a setup’s building that I haven’t seen in months and it’s screaming asymmetric opportunity. ⚡

Bitcoin adoption isn’t slowing down. Spar supermarkets across Switzerland are rolling out Bitcoin payments after successful pilots.

When Bitcoin hits the checkout line, miners like $RIOT don’t just benefit, they amplify.

Riot Platforms drops earnings post-market 01May25, and the stage couldn’t be set any sharper.

📊 Where Things Stand:

   •   Revenue’s expected to jump to $158.6M, a full +100% year-over-year

   •   EPS’s forecast to swing to -0.12 USD, from +0.81 USD last year

   •   EBIT’s expected to turn from +$203.9M to -$30.7M

This isn’t a clean earnings setup, and it doesn’t need to be. Riot’s a pure Bitcoin leverage play right now, not a margin story.

📈 The Charts Tell the Story:

   •   Riot smashed through the TrendCloud on the daily, lining up with the broader miner rally

   •   Weekly RSI’s showing bullish divergence, with buying pressure growing even as price hesitated

   •   TMO’s leaning bullish, not full-blown yet, but close

   •   Key support at $6.36 held like a fortress

   •   Resistance at $7.73 was taken out, with Friday’s post-market closing at $7.79

The technicals are lining up, and when miners start leading, they rarely do it quietly.

🔮 The Hidden Catalyst, Hash Ribbon Ignition

The Hash Ribbon fired a buy signal in early April at $7.33.

Last time this signal fired in October 2024, Riot ran from $8.66 to $15.82, a clean +104% move.

A similar move now would put Riot around $14.97, and I wouldn’t rule out even higher if Bitcoin catches momentum.

Signals like this don’t show up often, and I’m not ignoring it.

🛡️ Behind the Scenes Strength Most Traders Are Missing:

   •   Riot holds 7,327 Bitcoin as of Q4 2024. That’s real balance sheet firepower that grows every time Bitcoin rallies

   •   Riot secured a $100M credit line with Coinbase, using Bitcoin as collateral, keeping liquidity strong without issuing new shares

   •   Riot locked in 700 MW of fixed-rate power contracts in Texas, giving them a major advantage as energy costs crush weaker miners

There’s real resilience under the hood, even if the headlines won’t tell you.

📚 What the Analysts Are Seeing:

   •   16 analysts covering

   •   🟢 19% Strong Buy

   •   🟢 75% Buy

   •   🟡 6% Hold

   •   🔴 0% Sell

   •   🔴 0% Strong Sell

   •   Mean target price: $16.68, implying +114% upside from Friday’s $7.79 close

The Street sees what’s building. I’d rather be ahead of them.

📉 Short Interest Is the Fuel:

   •   8.38M shares shorted

   •   31.49% of the float’s short

If Riot surprises even modestly, or if Bitcoin keeps climbing, these shorts are cornered. Forced covering could sling this stock higher before most even realise it’s happening.

📅 Seasonality vs Reality:

May’s historically been a weak month for Riot, with an average return of -4.67%, but I’m not putting weight on that this time. Bitcoin’s gaining adoption momentum, technicals are firing, and the setup looks nothing like a typical May.

🧠 Why I’m Positioned for Upside:

This is a pure volatility trade with the odds leaning towards the bulls.

Bitcoin strength, miner technicals, Hash Ribbon ignition, analyst upside, and heavy short interest, it's all stacking in the same direction.

If Bitcoin pulls back, sure, $6.36’s my line to watch. Buright now, the risk, reward balance is clear, and I’m positioning for the breakout.

I’m not here to trade scared.

I’m here for the kind of moves that only come around a few times a year.

Trade like a boss! Happy trading ahead, Cheers, BC 📈🚀🍀🍀🍀
