🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 FED CHAIR POWELL IS STILL SCHEDULED TO GIVE A "BIG" SPEECH DESPITE SHUTDOWN TOMORROW

Markets don’t fear the speech, they fear the signal behind it.

Powell speaking during a shutdown means messaging matters more than policy.

Will he calm markets or test their conviction again?

EXPECT HIGH VOLATILITY!

Someone launched a coin and spent seven hours buying it from… themselves. Waited for others to join, nobody did, then rage-sold it all.

I wonder what that was. A tragic little DeFi drama, or a noble act saving the world from one more shitcoin?

🚨2026 will be merciless: 8 tips to survive in the crypto market... (Read this carefully... or pay the price for ignoring it)

1️⃣ Don't follow someone who's always negative. Those who only see the downside will miss every wave.
Deal with the market step by step, week by week... not with catastrophic predictions.

2️⃣ Don't enter any coin without a stop-loss in 2026. More than 50% of coins will go out of business... just like KDA, FLOW, and VRA did. Stop-losses don't protect the trade; they protect you.

3️⃣ Invest only 5-10% of your income at the end of each month and choose strong coins. The best coins currently suitable for monthly accumulation are $AVAX , $NEAR , $LINK, $TAO , and $AERO.

4️⃣ Don't try to catch the bottom or the top. That's ego-driven trading, not real money. Real money is made in the middle of the trend.

5️⃣ Take your profits when you feel like a genius.
Overconfidence = a warning sign.

Unrealized profits are not profits.

6️⃣ Don't enter the market just because "everyone else is making money."

Enter only because you have a plan.

Smart money enters silently... and latecomers enter in the noise.

7️⃣ Prices don't lie... but the news does.

At the peaks: perfect news.

At the troughs: media frenzy.

Read the charts before the headlines.

8️⃣ Risk management is not optional.
Without it, one trade can wipe you out.

The professional loses a little... the amateur loses everything.

In conclusion:

The market doesn't want the smartest people... but the most disciplined, patient, and respectful of liquidity.

$BTC /GOLD IS SETTING UP AGAIN.

We’ve seen this sequence before.

Gold runs first.
Bitcoin lags.
The ratio compresses for months.

Then something changes:
– Pressure finishes building
– Relative momentum quietly flips
– Bitcoin starts outperforming fast

That shift never announces itself.
It shows up in the ratio first.

Right now BTC/XAU is back at that same structural zone.
Coiled. Tight. Ready.

Historically, this wasn’t the moment to chase gold.
It was the moment Bitcoin started taking the lead.

Rotation doesn’t ring a bell.
It moves first and explains itself later.

Based on the previous cycle, we expect an upward trend during the first quarter of 2026, ending in March. Following this, the market will continue its decline until the end of 2026, after which we will enter a consolidation phase in preparation for the new season.

Hopefully, the upcoming rebound will benefit altcoins, as the top 50 cryptocurrencies have already benefited from the previous rally and absorbed most of the market's liquidity.

Crypto Regulation in South Korea Stalls as US-Inspired Stablecoin Rules Hits Dead End.

South Korea's efforts to update its crypto regulations have hit a snag due to disagreements on how to regulate stablecoins. This impasse has postponed the passage of new regulations until next year. The delay is attributed to differing views among policymakers, stalling progress in the crypto sector. The proposed bill in South Korea faces setbacks as it struggles to align with US-inspired stablecoin rules. This development could impact market sentiment and hinder innovation in the South Korean crypto industry. It underscores the challenges of harmonizing global crypto regulations and the importance of finding consensus among stakeholders to foster growth in the sector.

Why Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and ADA Prices Are Falling Today.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and ADA prices dipped in the last 24 hours as the broader crypto market fell by 2.66%.

Technically speaking, and quite frankly, Bitcoin is bearish and points to a bear market. These moving averages, each time it breaks through them, indicate a bear market.

🔺For it to return to a positive trend, it must break through them. Currently, breaking through requires a rise above approximately $108,000.

🔺This is my personal opinion, unrelated to technical analysis but based on fundamental analysis. The cycle isn't over, given the quantitative easing policy, the end of tightening, interest rate cuts, and numerous political factors. Strong institutional demand also indicates that we are still in an exceptional bull market. Bitcoin reserves are steadily decreasing, mining costs are higher than the price of Bitcoin, and projects are struggling. If they collapse, the entire market will collapse because everything is interconnected.

🔺Let's be honest with each other: this Bitcoin cycle has defied technical analysis, especially after the entry of funds, major companies, and countries. If your predictions were correct once or twice, most likely the rest were wrong. This isn't just my experience or yours. Now, there are major players who have entered the game and are controlling the market. While all predictions point to a bear market, suddenly it might suddenly rise. You all witnessed this cycle, how everyone contradicted the best approach. We rely on long-term network data; it's the most accurate and reliable.

🔺All indicators and analyses suggest we're in a bear market, and we expect everyone to go against the data at any moment, and the market will rise. Previously, all the data predicted a continued rise, yet it went against everyone and fell. This is a cycle of crushing losses, liquidations, and the entry of Wall Street into the game. We must get used to such behavior in a market governed by neither rules nor regulations (to put it bluntly, a lawless jungle). These people manipulated markets with rules; imagine what a market without any oversight!

Hedge funds are extremely bearish on the Japanese Yen:

Leveraged funds held ~85,000 contracts of net short positions on the Yen in the week ending December 14th, the 2nd-highest since July 2024.

This marks the 2nd consecutive week of heavily bearish positioning, following ~92,000 net short contracts recorded in the week ending December 9th.

Short positions have gradually accumulated since July as the US Dollar has strengthened against the yen.

This comes as the gap between US and Japanese rates remains large, at ~3.0 percentage points, limiting support for the currency despite the Bank of Japan's rate hikes.

Additionally, real interest rates in Japan remain deeply negative, as inflation continues to exceed policy rates, discouraging investors from holding yen-denominated assets.

A similar situation was observed last year, when the USD/JPY currency pair rose above 160, prompting the Ministry of Finance to intervene in July 2024 to defend the domestic currency.

The yen is back under pressure.

GLOBAL LIQUIDITY HITS ALL TIME HIGHS - BTC SET TO SURGE

There is massive capital on the sidelines waiting for a green light ; but when it flashes, it will likely be too late to get in at the same prices.

China’s M2 is expanding.
The U.S. M2 is expanding.
Japan’s M2 is expanding.
Europe’s M2 is expanding.

Liquidity is being injected across major economies… and Bitcoin is still ~30% off its highs.

When rotation starts, it will not be gradual ; it will be sharp, aggressive, and competitive. The move into crypto will hit fast.

Be early, not reactive.

XRP is a zombie

$120 billion market cap. XRPL DeFi TVL: $63 million. That's an 1800x gap between valuation and actual locked capital.

Ripple still holds ~42% of all XRP. Their main product xCurrent doesn't even require XRP.

They paid partners 50-300% rebates to adopt.

MoneyGram publicly said they never used it for real consumer transfers.

Ripple's own Q3 2024 report admitted most transaction growth was spam-like microtransactions under 1 XRP.
