$BTC Never before has BTC seen 2 consecutive years in the red.
After the great Q3, we now see Q4 in the red again.
Only three years prior, BTC has closed 3 or 4 of its quarters in the red.
2022, 2018 and 2014, all bear market years, all 4 years apart. So 2026 of course fits in nicely.
The big change this year is that unless Q4 still sends us to new lows below $58K, the actual low this year was set in Q3, not in Q4.
So in regards to the 4 year cycle, there's still some similarities and could be an okay rough guideline for a long term investment thesis. But it is clear that both price and time don't necessarily follow the exact playbook as well as it used to.
Thailand is bringing crypto one step closer to everyday spending.
A new payment app called WORPT allows foreign tourists to convert their crypto into Thai baht and pay at shops and restaurants by scanning payment codes.
And here's the important part:
You don't need a Thai bank account to use it.
The service operates under Thailand's TouristDigiPay regulatory sandbox, allowing visitors to convert digital assets into baht through regulated providers.
Merchants receive Thai baht, not cryptocurrency, meaning businesses don't have to handle digital assets themselves.
The initiative is targeting international crypto holders, with its operator projecting 200,000 users and 15 billion baht in spending over the 18-month trial.
This is an interesting approach to crypto adoption.
Rather than asking businesses to accept Bitcoin or stablecoins directly, Thailand is building a bridge between digital assets and the payment systems people already use.
That's how crypto starts becoming useful in the real world.
$BTC If we are going to bounce, USDT.D needs to reject here.
We have the 0.5 Fib for Wave 4 and the Daily FVG here, and above this zone, there's not much but imbalance all the way up to 8.149%.
Now, BTC is weaker than anything right now. Ideally, it should've swept 72.9k by the time USDT.D tapped into this zone, but instead, we're trading much lower.
I do have some signals pointing towards a potential bottom here. However, we'll have to see how PA develops inside this zone.
Ideally, this daily session should be the bottom candle. Otherwise, things could get messy.
My BTC longs have been stopped out, both the Swing and the recent entry from 72.9k. Both stopped out exactly at the level I was expecting to invalidate the thesis.
So I'm not chasing an entry right now, even though it seems pretty obvious that we could bottom here.
We'll have to wait for those LTF confirmations before triggering a new position, as we're basically inside a no-trade zone on BTC right now.
That said, looking at USDT.D, we still have reason to believe BTC can bottom here.
The US market open has brought another wave of selling pressure.
Bitcoin has now lost $72,000, with BTC trading around $71,500.
That level was the last major local support. Bulls now need to reclaim it quickly, otherwise the breakdown risks opening the door to a move towards $70,000.
The broader structure remains firmly bearish, with $76,400 still acting as resistance.
A bounce is possible, but until buyers recover lost levels, the market hasn't given us a convincing reason to call a reversal.
Space and Time Could Change How Tokenized Assets Are Verified
Tokenizing an asset is relatively straightforward compared with maintaining trustworthy records of its underlying value. A blockchain can record ownership, but financial information often remains inside private databases.
@SpaceandTime approaches this through cryptographic data commitments. Its SXT Chain architecture secures SQL tables using validator consensus, while Proof of SQL verifies calculations against those committed records.
This distinction matters for tokenized credit, stablecoins and institutional finance. Collateral balances and financial reports can be checked without exposing every underlying record.
I see the potential of $SXT in connecting traditional financial information with verifiable onchain execution. The real test will be how extensively financial applications adopt these mechanisms.
$ETH Has given back a lot of its gains since August so far already.
Now sitting right at the .786 Fibonacci retracement level from this move up and on the $2.1K high timeframe support level.
$2.1K is the key level to hold for the bulls. Above, you'd want to see it start retaking things like the Daily 200MA which are capping price as resistance for now during this down trend.
