BREAKING: 🇺🇸 President Trump is set to make a “huge” announcement today at 5:00 PM ET.
Sources are speculating it could involve plans to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and a possible new peace deal with Iran. Markets could see major volatility if confirmed.
@Midnight Network is one of those projects that makes privacy actually useful.
It’s a standalone Layer 1 built for programmable privacy, where users can prove something is true without exposing all their personal data.
That means:
→ Better privacy without hiding everything → Selective disclosure for KYC and compliance → Useful for banks, payments, identity and RWAs → Public transaction coordination with private execution → $NIGHT and DUST working together in a dual-token model
What makes Midnight stand out for me is that it isn’t just talking about privacy.
Google Cloud, MoneyGram, eToro, Worldpay and other major names are already part of its validator ecosystem, while Monument Bank is working to tokenize up to £250M in customer deposits.
One thing I like about @Polymarket is that it turns opinions into actual markets.
Instead of just debating what might happen next, people can actually explore different events, compare the odds and take a position based on their own view.
Here’s what makes prediction markets interesting to me:
→ Explore opportunities across politics, crypto, macro, sports and global events
→ See what the crowd currently expects to happen
→ Watch probabilities change as new information comes in
→ Compare your own view with real market sentiment
→ Trade around events before the final outcome is known
That’s what makes Polymarket more interesting than simply following headlines.
Every update can change the odds, shift sentiment and create a new opportunity.
Price is pushing back toward the $128–$128.8 resistance zone, but this is exactly where I’d expect sellers to show up again. The structure is still vulnerable if that rising support starts breaking.
Entry: $127.50–$128.30
Targets: TP1: $126.00 TP2: $125.00 TP3: $123.55
SL: Above $128.90
For me, $128.86 is the invalidation level. If AAVE keeps failing below that area, a pullback toward $126 and eventually $123.5 still looks possible.
SOL bounced strongly from the $103 area, but price is now running into resistance around $107.13. The first reaction from that level already showed some selling pressure, so I’m watching to see if buyers fail there again.
Entry: $106.50–$107.10
Targets: TP1: $105.80 TP2: $105.00 TP3: $103.05
SL: Above $107.50
For me, $107.13 is the key level. As long as SOL stays below it, a pullback still makes sense. If buyers reclaim $107.5 cleanly, I’d drop the short idea and wait for a better setup.
Price pushed back into the $126.7 resistance area but failed to break through cleanly. Now AAVE is sitting around $125.9, and the rejection makes me think sellers could get another chance if buyers keep struggling below that level.
Entry: $125.80–$126.40
Targets: TP1: $124.80 TP2: $124.00 TP3: $123.24
SL: Above $126.80
For me, $126.7 is the key level. As long as AAVE stays below it, I’m watching for a pullback toward the $123.2 support zone.
I wouldn’t chase a red candle though. A weak bounce back toward resistance followed by another rejection would make the setup look much cleaner.
After that sharp drop, price managed to bounce and is now moving in a tight range just under $78,294 resistance. That tells me buyers are trying to stabilize it, but it still hasn’t fully broken out. Right now this looks more like a retest zone than a clean trend move.
Possible long setup: Entry: $78,050 – $78,180 Targets: $78,300 → $78,800 → $79,630 SL: Below $77,500
What I’m seeing: If BTC reclaims and holds $78,294, then the next push can extend toward $78.8K and possibly $79.6K. But if it keeps failing below that level, then this recovery may just be a pause before another move down.
For me, $78,294 is the key level. Above it, momentum improves. Below it, I’d stay cautious because price could revisit the $77.5K area again.
Price bounced cleanly from the $121 support area and is now trying to reclaim $124.20. The recovery looks decent so far, but I’d still want to see buyers hold this level before getting too aggressive.
Entry: $123.50–$124.20
Targets: TP1: $125.50 TP2: $127.00 TP3: $129.50
SL: Below $120.90
For me, $124.20 is the key level now. If AAVE can flip it back into support, the move toward $127–$129.5 starts looking much cleaner. If it loses $121 again, I’d rather step aside.
$BTC pushed toward $82K but faced another rejection.
After running from roughly $67K to $80K in just one week, this move still looks like a potential bull trap to me. I don’t think the real bottom is confirmed yet.
My downside levels remain:
$74K first $67K next
And if we get any major negative geopolitical development, BTC could see an even deeper correction.
@Dusk positioning its 10-second deterministic finality as infrastructure for finance, not a speed flex. That framing clicked for me this week while I was staring at DUSK's own price action, which is a weird place to find a settlement insight, but bear with me.
Between roughly Aug 20 and now, DUSK swung from about $0.073 to $0.082 a real move and analysts flagged a single social post as the apparent trigger, calling the whole thing "flow-driven" with no actual catalyst behind it. No partnership news, no protocol update, nothing. Just money moving.
Here's what stood out: none of that volume needed a narrative to settle. Every trade cleared with the same ~10-second finality whether it was backed by a real thesis or just noise chasing a tweet. That's the actual point of deterministic settlement it doesn't discriminate between "smart" flow and dumb flow, it just closes the loop, every time, on schedule.
I don't know if that's a boring observation or the whole thesis. Maybe both. Hype metrics measure attention; finality measures whether the system holds up when attention isn't the reason people are transacting.
What happens to that number next week, once the "reason" fades does the volume evaporate with it, or does some of it stick?
This chart is still pretty weak. AAVE has been printing lower highs and lower lows all the way down from the $140+ area, and the small bounce around $125 hasn’t changed that structure yet.
Entry: $127–$130
Targets: TP1: $125 TP2: $124.35 TP3: $122.50
SL: Above $131
I’d rather wait for a weak bounce into $129–$130 than chase it down here. If sellers step back in around that resistance, the trend still favors another move lower.
BNB got rejected hard from the $718–$719 area and the 1H structure has been making lower highs since. Price bounced from $688, but so far it still looks more like a relief bounce than a real reversal.
Entry: $695–$700
Targets: TP1: $692 TP2: $688 TP3: $684
SL: Above $704
For me, $700–$704 is the zone sellers need to defend. As long as BNB stays below it, I’m watching for another leg down. A clean reclaim above $704 would make me drop the short idea.
Project @Dusk has been sitting on my screen for a few days now because of something that isn’t flashy at all it’s the quiet part.
Back on August 16 the team caught unusual activity tied to a bridge-operations wallet and moved fast: froze the flow, recycled the affected addresses, pushed a recipient-blocklist update to the web wallet. Normal enough post-incident playbook.
What actually caught my attention is what I found this week going back through those recycled addresses on the explorer nothing. No test transactions, no dust, no probing. Just flatlined activity for over a week straight while the bridge stays paused.
That’s not really a story about an exploit. It’s a story about restraint. A team that could’ve quietly reopened things under pressure from users wanting to move funds instead just… didn’t. The addresses stayed cold because they chose caution over convenience, and nobody’s forcing their hand.
I’ll be honest, I don’t fully know if that’s smart risk management or just slow internal process probably some of both. Either way it’s a rare on-chain read where “nothing happening” is the actual signal.
Anyone else been watching how long bridges stay dark after an incident like this, and what that gap actually tells you about a team?
That launch move was huge, running from around $0.06 to $0.20, and now price is cooling off near $0.171.
What interests me is whether buyers can build a base here instead of giving back more of the move. $0.176–$0.177 is the first area I’d want to see reclaimed.
For me, this is a pullback setup, not something I’d chase after a +180% move. If $TMX stabilizes here and starts reclaiming resistance, another test of the highs could get interesting.
Price already got rejected hard from the $80K area, and since then BTC has been struggling to reclaim momentum above $79K. Right now it’s consolidating around $78.9K after that rejection.
What I’m watching is whether sellers keep defending the $79.2K–$79.6K zone. If BTC fails there again, a deeper pullback starts to look more likely.
Spent a chunk of this week poking through the DuskEVM testnet explorer for Project @Dusk instead of just skimming the docs, and one small thing stuck with me more than the Hedger writeup itself.
Dusk markets Hedger as privacy with auditability homomorphic encryption plus ZK proofs, letting you shield and unshield balances on the EVM side. Reads clean on paper. But watching actual test wallets move through it, the pattern looked lopsided: plenty of shield transactions, noticeably fewer unshields. People fund the encrypted balance, poke around, and then largely stop there. The private-transfer leg that’s supposed to be the whole point barely shows up.
I don’t read that as a red flag necessarily it’s a testnet, people are curious rather than committed, and shielding is the easier half of the flow. But it did make me wonder if the friction sits more on the “spend privately” side than the “go private” side. That’s the opposite of what I expected walking in I assumed the ZK proving step for a full private transfer would be the bottleneck, not user follow-through.
Could just be normal testnet behavior: mint, tinker, move on. Or it might hint at something about how confidential balances actually get used once compliance and auditability are designed in from day one, rather than bolted on later. Hard to say with any confidence off a small sample of wallets.
Anyone else tracking shield vs. unshield ratios on the DuskEVM testnet, or is it too early to read anything into it?
