I just noticed the Bitcoin chart, and its RSI is showing a pretty interesting level. This indicator is currently in the oversold zone, which is usually an important signal for traders who understand the rules of SEC and technical analysis.
So, here’s the thing, RSI stands for Relative Strength Index — basically a tool to measure price momentum. When it drops below 30, it indicates oversold conditions. This can mean two things: either the market is too pessimistic and ready for a rebound, or it’s actually under strong selling pressure.
What’s interesting is that the SEC formula for RSI involves

I just saw Bitcoin break through the $75K level, and it turns out derivatives are the main trigger for this rally. It's really interesting to see how old orders are part of the built-up momentum, it seems that accumulation of positions in futures and options instruments is making the buying pressure even stronger.
Currently, Bitcoin is still moving in a solid area, and what needs to be watched is whether this momentum can last or if it's just a flash rally. From what I see, activity in the derivatives market is indeed an important barometer for predicting the next movement. If old orders are l

I just noticed an interesting pattern in Bhutan's Bitcoin activity. The country keeps transferring its BTC reserves to exchanges at an increasing rate. This year alone, it has already reached $152 million in outflows, with the largest transfer last week amounting to $44 million.
What’s most intriguing is the change in pattern. In January-February, transfers were small, around $5-15 million. But since March, Bhutan has started moving much larger amounts, up to $35-45 million per transaction. This isn’t random liquidation, but a structured relationship with trading firms based in Singapore.

There is a quite interesting paradox in the crypto industry that is rarely discussed: everyone always talks about blockchain transparency as a revolution, but in reality, total transparency is actually the main obstacle to mainstream adoption.
Here's the story. A few weeks ago at Consensus Hong Kong, one of the founders of the largest trading platforms in the industry appeared and said that the lack of privacy in crypto is a serious problem hindering adoption among institutions and everyday users. He made a valid point: imagine your company paying employee salaries directly on-chain. With the

I just read about how the banking industry is actually blocking the crypto market structure bill that’s almost finished. Turns out, lobbying is the key here – they from the traditional banking sector are actively lobbying hard to change or delay regulations that could threaten their position.
Why is this important? Because the bill has already reached the final stage, just waiting for the finishing touch. But the lobby from bankers makes everything complicated and delayed. They worry that if crypto is regulated too permissively, it could harm conventional banking businesses.

At that time, the Polymarket market was buzzing with speculation about who ZachXBT's next investigation target would be. Nearly $3 million in betting volume poured in—crazy, right? People had started predicting which coin's spotlight would be next. Meteora was the favorite at that moment with a 43% chance, followed by Axiom, Pump.fun, and Jupiter with lower odds. I noticed the odds moved quite significantly—some dropped 37-42% from the start, while Meteora actually strengthened. That indicates traders were seriously analyzing ZachXBT's posting patterns for clues. But yeah, this is pure specula

If you pay attention, Bitcoin and the stock market have started to stabilize after falling at the beginning of last week. But bonds are still uncertain about where they’re headed. By the way, I just saw an announcement from CoinDesk about their transparency. They have multiple strict editorial policies to maintain the integrity of their news. Apparently, CoinDesk is part of Bullish, a digital asset platform focused on institutional clients. Interestingly, their journalism team includes Bullish employees, so they can receive compensation from Bullish equity. I do appreciate media that are trans

Gila, South Korea is still investigating the case of missing bitcoins that had previously been seized. The story is that a phishing attack caused assets that had already been secured by the government to disappear—no one knows where they went. So, does this mean government data security is also a problem? The South Korean investigation is still ongoing to find out what actually happened. Their security code probably needs an upgrade, especially if what was lost was in a large amount. Who will be held responsible if it really ends up going missing for good?

I see that Bitcoin is currently on track to record the longest losing streak since 2022. Basically, all of this is triggered by geopolitical tensions that cause investors' risk appetite to drop. Every time there is bad news from geopolitics, the market immediately becomes nervous and risk assets like crypto take a hit. So if you monitor the chart, you'll see a series of lower lows that are quite serious. This isn't just a flash crash, but a trend that has been ongoing for quite some time. If geopolitical conditions remain tense, it's likely that Bitcoin will continue to stay in the red zone fo

I just noticed Bitcoin is again dropping below $72K today, down about 1.5% in the last 24 hours. But looking at the weekly chart, it's still a solid 7% increase over the week. It seems the same pattern keeps repeating - a rally midweek that drops again over the weekend.
What’s causing the pressure now is the combination of tight interest rate conditions from the Federal Reserve and a very strong dollar. This week, the dollar rose the most in a year, which immediately weighs on all risk assets including crypto. The tight interest rate environment is causing investors to move into cash.

The appellate court in Nevada has just paved the way to temporarily ban Kalshi from operating in the state. So basically, there is a decision from the appellate court allowing Nevada to implement a temporary ban on this prediction market platform.
What’s interesting is how this appeal process unfolded—apparently, the appellate court considered Nevada’s arguments and decided to permit this restriction for now. This is not a final decision, but it’s significant for the prediction market industry because it shows how regulation can move at the state level.
Kalshi itself is a platform focused on p

I just noticed something interesting from Google Trends. In the US, searches for 'bitcoin zero' suddenly spiked last month when BTC dropped to around $60k. This could be a good contrarian signal because similar surges appeared in 2021-2022 at market bottoms. But what's interesting here is that if we look at global data, searches for the same term actually decreased. This means panic is more concentrated in the US, not worldwide.
Contrarian is a strategy that can be learned from this pattern. Most US investors seem more paranoid due to local news—taxes, geopolitics, risk rotation in stocks. Mea

I just noticed that the Bitcoin MACD histogram has turned red again. This is the third time since October, and every time this indicator shows a bearish signal, the BTC price drops sharply. So, we should be cautious.
Looking at the track record since October, this MACD has been almost always accurate. When it first turned red in early November, Bitcoin immediately collapsed from around $106K down to $80K within weeks. Then there was a small rebound when the MACD turned positive again, but it was only brief, not going anywhere.
The same pattern repeated in January. The MACD turned bearish aga

The US stock market begins today with significant pressure amid weekend geopolitical escalations. I notice Nasdaq 100 futures dropped about 1.5% at open, while investors flock to traditional safe assets.
What’s interesting is the movement of commodities—WTI oil briefly touched $75 per barrel before retreating below $72, while gold surged over 2% to reach $5,400 per ounce. This is a golden hour for investors seeking a store of value, although gold prices later retreated from the high levels. Market volatility spiked sharply with VIX and MOVE rising more than 10%, indicating quite high uncertai

The market has just experienced a dramatic shift in the interest rate narrative. A few weeks ago, everyone was still talking about how much rate cuts would happen in 2026, but now the situation has completely reversed. Traders are now starting to consider the possibility of interest rate hikes in April.
What has shifted this sentiment? Several factors at once. First, the US economy is not slowing down as expected—inflation remains stubbornly above the central bank’s 2% target. Second, oil prices have risen 50% over the past three weeks since the Iran conflict intensified. Third, February infla

So Midnight is a blockchain focused on privacy from Cardano, and Charles Hoskinson just said it will launch next month. Very interesting because privacy on blockchain is still a hot topic, especially with all the regulations tightening.
I'm curious about how Midnight will perform later, especially with competition from other established privacy projects. But if it's backed by Cardano, there's probably a solid roadmap behind it.
Has anyone been following Midnight's development? Or what are your thoughts on privacy coins this year?

Bitcoin is still holding in the profit zone in this long cycle, despite the ongoing spectacular streak of consecutive wins. From a monthly perspective, there is a positive momentum that continues to be maintained amid market volatility. This ongoing historic winning streak indicates that in the long term, Bitcoin continues to prove its resilience. It is interesting to observe how this long cycle shapes the market narrative moving forward, especially when we look at how this asset performs compared to previous phases.

I just read that Strategy received a $50 million investment from Strive, a major BTC treasury company. Their flagship series STRC was affected, and the investment is quite substantial. Strive seems very serious about this project, so I'm waiting to see how the development progresses. Do you think this will have a significant impact on their ecosystem? Strive appears to be a solid backer because BTC treasury companies are usually quite selective. I'm curious about what they will develop with that much capital from Strive. This is a good sign if institutional investors trust the Strategy project

Just saw DOGE break through an important level at $0.0924 with very high volume, the resistance that previously acted as an obstacle has finally been overcome. Now that level has turned into a fairly solid support for the short term. The price is consolidating in the $0.0940-$0.0945 zone, and what's interesting is that the lower lows are higher, which means the momentum remains constructive.
Traders now see $0.0940 as the main defense line. As long as DOGE stays above this level, the next target around $0.0955-$0.0960 can still be achieved. But if this breakout fails and the price drops back b

Recently, I became interested in Kevin de Patoul, CEO of Keyrock, regarding the current position of Bitcoin in the market. He has a quite interesting view: Bitcoin should be trading much higher given regulatory developments, institutional adoption, and macro uncertainties that should actually be driving demand. But the reality? BTC still moves like a typical risk asset, not as a hedge often claimed.
See for yourself—Bitcoin has fallen about 18% since the beginning of the year after reaching an all-time high of around $125,000 in early October. It is now trading at $73.64K. Meanwhile, from Janu
