Cycle 1: ATH $19,666 → -84% Crash → Bullish OB → Rallied To $69K Cycle 2: ATH $69,000 → -77% Crash → Bullish OB + FVG → Rallied To $126K Cycle 3: ATH $126,272 → -69% Correction → Bullish OB Forming NOW At $50K-$40K?
Every Cycle: Smaller Drawdown. Higher High. Same Structure. $BTC Is Now Approaching The Potential Bullish OB Zone.
Projected Upside: 1000%

$BCH JUST DID EXACTLY WHAT WE EXPECTED: STILL $2,000-$3,000 POTENTIAL? 🚀
In my previous analysis, I said #BCH could drop into the $200-$170 accumulation zone. It perfectly followed the setup and dumped to around $181, right inside our support/accumulation zone.
Since then, $BCH has bounced ~68% from our entry zone. Hope you’re happy with the move and enjoyed the setup! ❤️
$2,000-$3,000 is still my long-term potential target, if the bullish structure continues to play out.
$VIRTUAL Is Up 40% From Our Accumulation Zone... But The Real Move May Be Just Starting
#VIRTUAL Has Corrected Nearly -90% From Its Cycle High And Is Now Trading Inside A Multi-Month HTF Triangle. Price Has Already Delivered Nearly 40% From Our Accumulation Zone And Is Now Approaching A Critical Resistance Area That Must Be Broken For The Next Major Bullish Expansion.
Technical Structure: ✅ Nearly -90% Macro Correction Into HTF Demand Zone ✅ ~40% Rally From Near Accumulation Zone ✅ Multi-Month Weekly Triangle Compression ✅ Weekly Bullish Order Block: $0.435–$0.315 Holding Strong ✅ Higher Lows Against Descending Resistance = Ongoing Accumulation ✅ Current Price Near Critical Resistance Zone ✅ Key Breakout Level: $1.01 (HTF Structure Shift) ✅ Major Resistance: $1 → $2 → $4+ ✅ Secondary Buy Zone: $0.150–$0.08 (FVG + Breaker Block) If Revisited
Current Phase: Late Accumulation → Pre-Breakout
Scenario 1 → Bullish Breakout (Above $1.01): A Weekly Close Above $1.01 Would Confirm The HTF Structure Shift And Could Open The Path Toward $1.82 And Eventually $4+ If Momentum Continues.
Scenario 2 → Final Liquidity Sweep: Failure To Break And Hold The Critical Resistance Could Trigger Another Pullback. If The Weekly OB Fails, Price Could Potentially Revisit $0.150–$0.08, Creating A Deeper Long-Term Accumulation Opportunity.
Bull Cycle Targets: $1 → $2 → $4 → $10+
The $0.435–$0.315 Weekly Order Block Remains The Key Accumulation Zone, While $1.01 Is The Most Important Breakout Level To Watch.
$VIRTUAL Has Already Moved Nearly 40% From Our Accumulation Zone. Now Price Is At A Critical Resistance Area, A Clean Breakout And Acceptance Above This Zone Could Trigger The Next Major Bullish Rally.
Two Binance employees were reportedly detained and questioned by UAE authorities over suspected irregularities involving third-party fund flows through a Binance client-money account.
But here’s the important distinction: Binance says the employees were not investigation targets, were only asked to provide statements, and were later released.
So far, there are no confirmed charges against the employees.
UAE regulators appear to be scrutinizing how third-party funds move through crypto platforms. For Binance, the investigation itself matters, even if no wrongdoing is ultimately established.
$BTC surged to $72.8K, its highest level since June, before settling around $72.5K.
Two things helped fuel the move:
🇺🇸 US Treasury bond buybacks are set to double, sending long-term yields lower. 🏛 Trump met with crypto executives and backed US Bitcoin purchases and the CLARITY Act.
The rally also triggered a major short squeeze, with $1.60B in shorts liquidated.
#BTC is now testing the $73K area. If buyers can hold above it, the next major target comes into view.
On the long term $80k is still doable especially with major altcoins following the movement but we need still wait to have a confirmation from the White house side about the war in Iran because any major conflict now can stop this bullish trend.
#Ethereum has a likelihood of retesting around $2,200, which could lead to further movement. However, #Bitcoin 's performance will primarily influence #Ethereum 's trajectory, unless there is a significant shift in the $ETH / $BTC ratio.
Ethereum Bot Accidentally Sends $300K To Random User An Ethereum MEV bot mistakenly tipped 167 $ETH , worth more than $300,000, to a random user after an alleged system bug, according to on chain data shared by Com Feed. The bot's operators have since contacted the recipient.
