Bitcoin has shot up. But hold on — it might get painful from here

Today, Bitcoin surged sharply upwards and for the first time since March, it has exceeded the $90,000 mark. What’s behind this? ⤵️

1. Institutions are getting back in.
BlackRock, Fidelity, and ARK are increasing their investments in BTC → When such giants buy — it’s a signal: “we believe in the long term.” This strengthens confidence in BTC as digital gold

2. In one day, +35% to the average number of transactions → the market is active, interest is high, liquidity is rising

3. The dollar index is falling, economic uncertainty is rising → And when fiat raises questions — capital seeks safe assets: gold and… BTC. Bitcoin is becoming a safe haven again, especially in the eyes of large players

But…

→ RSI on the daily is already in the overbought zone
→ The level of $92,000–$94,000 — strong resistance
→ Some analysts say: “Too fast, too soon. A correction to $83K–$85K is needed, otherwise — overheating”

So what’s next: $100K or a pullback?

If we break through $94K and hold — the road to new peaks opens up.
If not — a pullback is possible to shake off weak hands

What do you think? Will we break $100K or will there be a good dump first?

Who controls the market: the US president or the head of the Fed?

Recently, Trump stated that he could fire Jerome Powell "very quickly." This has sparked a wave of discussions in the financial world.

Why is this important for crypto?

Trump is for cheap money and aggressive growth. He wants to launch the economy: low rates, money printing, and has already proposed including BTC, ETH, and SOL in the US strategic reserve. Yes, officially.

Powell, on the other hand, is hitting the brakes.
He fears that if rates are lowered too early—inflation will rise again → this = rising prices for housing, food, loans. It hits people and destabilizes the economy. That’s why he keeps rates high: "better to err on the side of caution than to overheat."

While one is pushing the gas, the other has his foot on the brake.

- If Trump pushes through a change at the Fed—there could be an influx of liquidity and a rise in crypto.
- If Powell stays— the market could slow down, and interest in risky assets (like crypto) could decrease.

Investors are closely watching the developments because this is a battle for the direction of the entire US financial policy.

And who would you choose—strict Powell or rule-breaking Trump? And why?

Solana or Ethereum — which to choose for investments:

If you want to be sure that the coin won't scam and will actually grow — here's a comparison:

1. Speed and fees:

✔️Sol: instant transfers, tiny fees → perfect for games, NFTs, frequent transactions
✔️Eth: without L2 slower and more expensive → but Arbitrum/Optimism make the network faster and cheaper

2. Reliability:

✔️Eth: has been around for almost 10 years, survived hacks and crises → like a trusted bank
✔️Sol: younger, had some failures → but the network is strengthening, has great potential

3. Ecosystem:

✔️Eth: almost everything is built on it (DeFi, NFTs) → this is the foundation of crypto
✔️Sol: growing rapidly, actively developing, integrations with PayPal, Robinhood

4. Recognition:

✔️Eth: officially approved ETF in the USA — meaning large funds and banks are already investing in it → this is a serious level of trust
✔️Sol: ETF is currently in Canada → but interest from institutions is rising

5. Growth potential:

✔️Eth:
→ 2025 — $4,000
→ 2030 — $10,000+
✔️Sol:
→ 2025 — up to $520 (VanEck)
→ 2030 — $800–$1000+

Conclusion:

Ethereum — the foundation.
Solana — is an accelerator. Fast, cheap, flexible, with a huge community

I personally hold both ETH and SOL. What will you choose?

Crypto will go down — if the Fed does not lower the rate

After the Fed chair's speech, the stock market fell in a day: Nasdaq –3%, S&P 500 –2.2%
And crypto? Stays still. The calm before the storm?

Powell said:
"Inflation may pick up. We are not sure it's time to lower rates."
Translating from central bank language:

The Fed is not turning on the printing press, but is also not tightening screws further.
The economy and markets are in a "pause" mode.

What does this really mean for the market?

1. Investors are watching the Fed rates (interest rates): High rates = expensive loans → less money in circulation. Low rates = cheap money = more investments.
2. The Fed is not lowering the rate — which means:
* The economy is unstable
* Risks are high
* There will be no influx of "cheap" money (liquidity)
3. The reaction to this:
- Investors start to exit risky assets
- and risk is precisely crypto, stocks
- Money flows into bonds, the dollar, gold

That is:

If the Fed keeps rates high until the end of 2025 — many will temporarily exit crypto to avoid a downturn. And then they will re-enter. But at more favorable levels.

I am not panicking. BTC has shown multiple times how it bounces back after turbulence. So I am waiting for my entry point #PowellRemarks $BTC

$BTC How Bitcoin Behaved During Past Global Turmoils and Trade Wars

1. US-China Trade War (2018-2019)
Trump Imposes Tariffs → China Responds → Markets Panic
BTC: From $5,000 to $13,800 (+176%)

✅Geopolitics + Trade Risks = Capital Outflow to Crypto as “Digital Gold”

2. COVID Crash (March 2020)

Everything Crashed: Stocks, Oil, Even Gold and BTC

BTC: $9,000 → $4,000 (–55%)
But:
→ In 2 Months — $9,000 Again
→ In A Year — $64,000 (+1500%)

✅ In a Moment of Shock, Everything Falls, Except Crypto often recovers faster than anyone else, especially against the backdrop of the printing press

3. War in Ukraine (February 2022)

Sanctions, currency restrictions, collapse of confidence in fiat
BTC: $45,000 → $34,000 → $42,000 in 3 weeks

✅In countries with restrictions, interest in BTC has grown sharply as a means of protecting capital

4. Banking crisis in the US (March 2023)

SVB, Signature are falling. People are losing access to accounts
BTC: $19,000 → $30,000 in 17 days (+58%)

✅People were looking for an asset outside the banking system and came back to bitcoin

❓What does this say about the current situation (2025):

If tariffs and geopolitics escalate → BTC may start to be perceived as insurance

But! There may be a drawdown at the moment (which is what we are seeing now) if the market goes into a sharp shock

But... BTC is often the first to recover

#USElectronicsTariffs

Why does crypto drop after Trump's speeches? And what do the new tariffs mean for the market?

The U.S. Secretary of Commerce officially stated:
"Yes, we are temporarily not touching smartphones, laptops, and other electronics… but soon they will be subject to new tariffs related to semiconductors."

In the background — panic, red candles.

What is actually happening?

— The market fears uncertainty, and Trump's rhetoric always involves sharp and unpredictable moves.
— Increasing tariffs = rising tension between the U.S. and China = moving away from risk.
— Even crypto, which seems to be "out of politics" (I hope you understand, it's not quite like that) is plummeting, because investors are fleeing to stablecoins or simply to the dollar.

This is a crash due to fear. While retail players are anxious, strong hands are locking in profits and then quietly re-accumulating.

Such news is just a clearing of the field.
When fear subsides, the market does what it always does: it goes where there is demand and limited supply.

And yes — now is a great time for trading. During such events, the market moves predictably, volatility is high, and emotions do their work.
The main thing is not to catch FOMO, but to act with a cool head.

$OM Are there any lucky ones here who had a short position open?! 😻

$BTC Do you remember how Bitcoin was buried in 2020?

Friday, March 13. Bitcoin drops from $9,000 to $4,200 in a couple of days. Panic.
"Digital gold couldn't withstand the crisis!" — they wrote in the news.
"This is the end, no one will buy it anymore" — they wrote in the chats.

Now calculate: if you had invested $1,000 at $4,200 back then — at the peak in 2025, when BTC was $100,000, it would have turned into $23,800.
And that’s without leverage, without trading — just patience.

Even now, after the drop from the peak, at a price of $80,000, your same thousand would be worth about $19,000.

And what’s happening now?
The market is stressed again. Inflation, geopolitics, regulations — and again the talks: “crypto is a scam.”
But it’s precisely in such moments that future gains are born.

I am not wasting time.
I am calmly buying on the dips, distributing my portfolio between $SOL , $XRP and ETH.
I’m eyeing a few more coins.
I’m not touching BTC for now — waiting for a drop to $50,000. If it gives it — I’ll take it. If not — no problem.

And you?! Which altcoin do you believe in right now? And at what levels are you entering?

$ETH Is the “air” dying?

Recently, it has become fashionable to say: “Solana is faster,” “ETH is no longer needed.”
But let's look at the facts.

1. Yes, Solana is indeed fast and almost free. But:

• Stablecoins (USDT, USDC)? They operate on ETH.
• Top DeFi protocols? Uniswap, Aave, Curve — all of this is ETH.
• Layer 2 (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base)? They are built on it.

It's like comparing Telegram and the internet. One is more convenient, but the other is the foundation of everything.

2. After the transition to Proof-of-Stake, ETH is burned with every transaction.
This means the total amount of ether decreases. And when something is less available, it becomes more expensive.

3. All Layer 2 are built on ETH. Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync, Base — they are not competitors to ether; they are its continuation. Therefore, even if you are using something “cheaper and faster” — you are still using ether. Just not directly.

Who holds ether?
At what levels did you enter and what do you think about its future? Of course, I wouldn't say no to ETH at $800, but I am already buying more even now — such levels around $1600 were last seen in early 2023. Back then, ether was priced at $1600–1700 and in March 2024, ETH reached around $4,000$ETH

#SECGuidance

The SEC has withdrawn its appeal against Ripple. XRP has exhaled.

This is not just a legal news — it's a wake-up call. The long and tedious case between the SEC and Ripple, which has dragged on since 2020, has suddenly taken a turn.

Judge Analisa Torres denied the SEC's motion for an interim appeal, as the regulator failed to provide compelling grounds for the review of the decision.
This refers to the very decision that recognized that sales of XRP on the secondary market do not constitute a securities offering.

What does this mean?
• Ripple can develop its ecosystem more freely.
• XRP has received important "rehabilitation" in the eyes of investors.
• This is an important precedent for the entire crypto industry — perhaps something is beginning to shift.

Of course, this is not the end of the story…

Do you believe in the future of XRP? $XRP

Everyone knows the legend about the pizza for 10,000 bitcoins? Now let me tell you my story.

It was 2016. I was 16 years old. A girl into sports, the gym, fashion, you know what I mean. I loved beautiful workout clothes — just like all of us girls.

And then I found a cool Russian brand. The stuff was fire. I wanted to order. But there was one catch: I wasn't from Russia, and I couldn't pay with a European card. I thought: well, I'll create a wallet. But documents for minors are not accepted. Of course, taking the easy way out — that's not me.

What did I do?
I created an account on blockchain.com, went to an office where I could buy BTC near my home, bought bitcoins, transferred the coins to another wallet, exchanged them for rubles — and voila, I could place orders. Strategy, engineering, bitcoin, clothes — everything came together!

If someone had told me back then… why this #btc at all…

For example, one of my leggings cost €44.37 — and I paid 0.060634 BTC for them.
Today, at the exchange rate, that's 5,124.67 USDC.
Five. Thousand. Dollars.
For leggings.

And that wasn't a one-time purchase… I was ordering there all the time.
If only I had known. If only I had known… 😆

And then came 2020, and I got acquainted with crypto again.
On one hand — very fortunate.
On the other — quite the opposite.

Should I tell?!$BTC
