🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 FED CHAIR POWELL IS STILL SCHEDULED TO GIVE A "BIG" SPEECH DESPITE SHUTDOWN TOMORROW

Markets don’t fear the speech, they fear the signal behind it.

Powell speaking during a shutdown means messaging matters more than policy.

Will he calm markets or test their conviction again?

EXPECT HIGH VOLATILITY!

Someone launched a coin and spent seven hours buying it from… themselves. Waited for others to join, nobody did, then rage-sold it all.

I wonder what that was. A tragic little DeFi drama, or a noble act saving the world from one more shitcoin?

🚨 UPDATE: The U.S. Supreme Court may deliver a ruling on Donald Trump’s global tariffs as early as this Friday, after scheduling a day for releasing opinions.

The expedited timeline, combined with the Court’s traditionally cautious approach, suggests a decision on the legality of the tariffs could be imminent.

During the November 5 hearing, several justices raised pointed questions about whether the president has the authority to impose such tariffs under the 1977 emergency powers law.

$BTC 24 Hour Liquidations likely to hunt the upside first.
$92k to $92.4k is the area.

Clearing with velocity means we go $96k to $98k finally.

Note : Multiple wicks possible, but I don't think we go down before hunting these upside ones first.

With that being said, let's see.

Bitcoin is sitting between neutral and -1σ on the Z-Score Probability Waves, meaning price is not statistically overheated in either direction.

From here, there are two realistic scenarios:

1️⃣ Rally toward $100k → fail at resistance → roll into a final bear market leg, with statistical downside pointing toward ~$70k (full washout, max pessimism).

2️⃣ Rally to $100k → consolidate → reclaim key levels → continue higher, breaking the traditional 4-year cycle narrative entirely.

Both outcomes are tradable. Both are investable.

You don’t need to predict the future. You just need a framework that works either way.

My fav chart right here

BTC.D is compressing under resistance. Every attempt higher is getting sold, but it’s also not collapsing yet.

That’s a classic decision zone.

If dominance breaks down from here, it usually flips the environment bullish for alts.

If it breaks up, BTC leads a bit longer.

This chart tells you when to rotate not what to buy.

Very important news for the gold markets 💰

China 🇨🇳 continues its gold purchases for the 14th consecutive month.
In a strategic signal we can't ignore, the People's Bank of China is relentlessly bolstering its gold reserves.

⚠️ Why is this news so alarming and pivotal for gold?

🟡 Clear confirmation that China is gradually moving away from the dollar.

🟡 Preparation for a period of significant financial and geopolitical turmoil.

🟡 Strong and continuous support for gold prices.

🟡 A silent message from Beijing 🇨🇳: Gold is the true safe haven.

📈 How are the markets interpreting this move?

• When China buys gold with such determination, it's not betting on a short-term surge…
It's laying the groundwork for a global financial transformation.

🔥 China is adding fuel to gold's upward trend, and any upcoming pullback could be a rare opportunity before a larger move.

Bitcoin Price Update

1. Our expected support zone near 90K has been tested.

2. Support holding for now but spot selling has been forcing price lower since yesterday and most of the buying is perp based.

3. Waiting for a reclaim of previous swing move POC to relong or in all likelihood we bleed lower towards the 2026 YO if we fail to do that where another long opportunity may occur.

ZKP (the cryptocurrency of the zkPass project) experienced a significant and unexpected surge today, Thursday, January 8, 2026, topping the list of the best-performing cryptocurrencies in the market.

Today's Performance

Current Price: The cryptocurrency is currently trading around $0.18 - $0.17.

Percentage Increase: The cryptocurrency has seen an increase of between 52% and 56% in the last 24 hours.

Trading Volume: Trading activity exploded, with an increase exceeding 2,100%, reaching a daily trading volume of over $450 million.

Reasons for the Strong Rise
This strong surge is attributed to several strategic factors that converged simultaneously:

Listing on major platforms: The announcement of the currency's listing on Binance (spot trading market) and major Korean platforms such as Upbit and Bithumb, which provided huge liquidity and the entry of a new class of investors.

Major Sports Partnership: The zkPass project was announced as the official blockchain technology partner of the Dolphins team, giving the project significant exposure in stadiums and digital campaigns.

Technological developments: The growing interest in privacy technologies (Zero Knowledge Proofs) and the zkTLS protocol, which securely connects Web 2 data to Web 3, has made the currency the focus of analysts' attention.

There is a 77% chance that the US Supreme Court will rule on Friday that the tariffs imposed by President Trump are illegal.

The US Supreme Court may force President Trump to return more than $133 billion in tariff revenue.

This news would be very positive for the markets, but only for a limited time. The Trump administration will not allow any other parties to boost the market. If this ruling is issued, we will see news that will negate its effect within two or three days. God knows best.

🚨DID MORGAN STANLEY PULL OFF THE BIGGEST CRYPTO MANIPULATION?

The sequence of Bitcoin’s October crash and January recovery looks like a planned setup, and the data supports it.

Let’s go through it 👇

1) OCTOBER 10: THE TRIGGER

On October 10, MSCI, originally a Morgan Stanley division, announced a proposal to remove Digital Asset Treasury Companies from its global indexes.

That included firms like MicroStrategy and Metaplanet, whose balance sheets hold billions worth of Bitcoin. This wasn’t a small change because MSCI indexes guide trillions of dollars in passive flows.

If those firms were removed:
• Pension funds and ETFs would be forced to sell
• Institutional exposure to Bitcoin would shrink
• Liquidity would tighten sharply

Minutes after the announcement, Bitcoin dropped nearly -$18,000, erasing more than $900 billion from crypto’s total market cap.

2) THEN THE 3-MONTH PRESSURE WINDOW.

The consultation stayed open until December 31, meaning three full months of uncertainty.

That overhang froze demand:

• Passive investors avoided exposure
• Index-linked funds risked forced selling
• Prices stayed weak
• Sentiment collapsed

During this period, Bitcoin dropped about 31%, altcoins even more.
It was the worst quarter for crypto since 2018.

3) JANUARY 1st: SUDDEN PUMP STARS

From Jan 1st, Bitcoin starts pumping without any bullish news, and in the first 5 days of 2026, Bitcoin jumped 8%, that’s a $7300 pump from $87,500 to $94,800.

No one knew why, but somehow the relentless selling stopped, and Bitcoin was printing back-to-back green candles.

These were probably insiders who knew what was coming in the next few days.

4) JANUARY 5th-6th: THE REVERSAL

Then, somehow, in 24 hours, everything flipped.

First, Morgan Stanley filed for its own spot Bitcoin, ETH, and Solana ETFs.

Then, in a few hours, MSCI announced that it would not remove the crypto-heavy companies after all.

Bitcoin Price Update 🚨

1. Background - Price continued to rally 8% from Yearly Open. Rejected from range highs supply yesterday with an SFP of previous high.

2. Most important confluence of resistance levels = 94-95k.

3. Expecting price to retrace to support at 90.7-91K. Volume node and VWAP from the yearly open both add confluence here. Very important level to hold for LTF trend continuation.

Q1 still should be very bullish. Will change my opinion if more information develops.

🇺🇸 The US Senate Banking Committee will vote next Thursday on discussing and amending a bill to regulate the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market.
