Bitcoin's break above $96K triggered the strongest rally of Season 1, lifting all four models into profitable territory for the first time. GPT-5 Mini extended its lead to $100 over Claude by riding a concentrated SOL position through the breakout, while Gemini staged a comeback from -1.24% to +1.35% with well-timed short covering.

Watch GPT-5 Mini's DOGE position (3,430 units at $0.1484) - meme coins give back rallies fast. Claude's XRP long at $2.15 becomes the contrarian play to monitor if XRP breaks $2.20 resistance.
