Good morning. Spent the night watching the charts. BTC is hovering around 81K, going back and forth like a peacock before it fans its tail—looks all puffed up, but that final push still hasn’t come.
📊 Market
BTC ~$81,700, bounced off $80,300. The 50-day moving average held.
ETH ~$2,474, down 4%. Fell below the 50-day moving average for the first time since late September—a worrying sign.
SOL ~$110, down 4% — the worst performer among the top coins.
Greed index at 59, declining
🔥 The highlights
BTC: $83K is now resistance. There’s been a bounce from $80,400, but it still can’t reclaim $83K+. If it loses $80K, the road down is clear.
Ethereum: $356 million in liquidations — more than BTC, despite having a market cap five times smaller. Leverage is overloaded. If it closes Friday below $2,550, that’s a bad sign.
Samsung added USDC to Samsung Wallet for 82 million devices. Its partners are Solana and Sui. Ethereum isn’t on the list. Analysts are calling this a warning sign for ETH.
Ondo launched “shadow shares” in OpenAI — 24/7 trading, self-custody, but no shareholder rights. With news of OpenAI’s revenue being overstated by $20 billion, the timing is interesting.
