Analysis — SEC moves forward with a new crypto custody rule This week, the SEC sent a proposed amendment to the cryptoasset custody rules for review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which is linked to the White House. The full text has not yet been released, so it does not mean that the new rule is already in effect. The most important point is regulatory direction: the proposal seeks to provide greater clarity so that investment advisers and companies can custody cryptoassets for their clients, in addition to removing or modernizing certain requirements considered outdated.
Analysis of $BTC — 26/08/2026 Bitcoin is in a decisive zone after an approximately 20%+ rally over just a few days. Price is consolidating near $79k, while the $80–83k region remains the main barrier. Possible moves: 🟢 Upside: consistent closes above $80–83k → increases the probability of continuation. 🟡 Sideways: $BTC between $78–80k → possible accumulation before a breakout/decision. 🔴 Correction: loss of $77–78k → may allow room for a deeper correction. A positive point is that spot ETFs are still showing inflows, while the main immediate risk is taking profits after the strong recent surge. My take: 🟡➡️🟢 The outlook is still constructive, but I would wait for confirmation of the breakout before considering the resistance as broken. Entering after a very accelerated rally increases the risk of buying at a local top.
📊 Possible market movements BTC remains in a decisive area after the recent strong appreciation. 🔹 Bullish scenario: a breakout and holding above $83k could open room for new highs. 🔹 Correction scenario: losing $78–79k may increase selling pressure and lead the price to seek lower supports. 🔹 Sideways scenario: consolidation between $78k and $83k before a stronger move. 👀 My take: at this moment, volume and the price reaction in these regions will be more important than trying to guess the next candle. $NVDAB $AAPLB $MSFTB
Is the market entering a new phase? Bitcoin has returned to testing the $80,000 region, registering a gain of more than 20% in just one week. However, after such a rapid move, the market began showing signs of profit-taking. Despite the pullback, there is an important data point: US spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to receive capital. Tuesday’s inflows were approximately $314 million, bringing August’s total positive flow to over $3 billion. This shows that while short-term traders are taking profits, there is structural demand supporting the market. 🔎 $BTC — points I’m watching • Resistance: $82,000–85,000 • Psychological level: $80,000 • Immediate support: $78,000–79,000 region • Strength confirmation: consistent break above $83,000 The most interesting part is that the market isn’t simply “going up.” We’re seeing a battle between profit-taking and the inflow of fresh capital. 📈 My take As long as BTC stays above the main support areas, the outlook remains constructive. On the other hand, chasing price after a surge of roughly 23% over seven days significantly increases the risk of entering right before a correction. For me, the healthiest scenario would be: consolidation → absorption of supply → a new test of resistance → a breakout with volume. If $83k is broken convincingly, the market may start pricing in a continuation of the trend. If there is strong rejection in that region, a correction to find liquidity below $78k would not necessarily be a reversal—it could simply be a correction within a larger trend.
