The Market Updates

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 The White House says it is “ HIGHLY CONFIDENT” that Supreme Court will rule in favour of President Trump’s tariffs.

This breakout will bring generational wealth opportunities.

🇪🇺🇬🇱 EUROPE THREATENS TOTAL ECONOMIC BREAK IF TRUMP TAKES GREENLAND

Financial Times reports EU will sever all economic ties with America if Trump tries seizing Greenland.

That's the nuclear option. Full trade war, end of transatlantic alliance, NATO effectively dead.

Europe watched Trump grab Maduro and threaten Denmark. Now they're drawing a line: touch a NATO/EU member's territory and we're done.

Problem is Trump already threatened it, called it a negotiation. Europe's betting he won't actually invade an ally.

But if he does? U.S.-EU trade is $1.3 trillion annually.

That evaporates overnight, both economies crater.

Cold War with China, hostile relationship with Europe, stretched military in Middle East and Venezuela.

That's the play.

Or is it?

🚨BREAKING: Markets just dumped after President Trump commented on the Fed and Kevin Hassett.

Trump said:
"Fed officials don’t talk much. Hassett is good at talking. He was good on TV, I want to keep him where he is."

Hassett was being seen as a potential candidate for the next Fed Chair and is known as a pro-liquidity, rate-cut friendly figure.

So when Trump hinted that Hassett would stay in his current role and not move toward the Fed, expectations for easier monetary policy weakened.

Markets reacted immediately:

Bitcoin dropped $1,300 (-1.32%)
Gold fell $80 (-1.78%)
Silver dumped ( -3.30%)
Nasdaq dumped ( -0.50%)

This was not random selling.

It was the market repricing lower chances of a more dovish, liquidity-friendly Fed leadership.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 US Inflation Index keeps on dropping.

Fed will cut rates in 2026.

$BTC Q1 2025 🤝 Q1 2019

- Worst Q4
- Bottom below the lower weekly Bollinger Band
- Recovery in January

It seems like Bitcoin is going much higher from here.

BREAKING:

🇺🇸 The US state of West Virginia proposes a bill to allocate 10% of state funds to Bitcoin.

This is MASSIVE!!!

$ONDO at range lows here. If pdLow holds and we reclaim the daily open, looking for a push toward pdHigh.

Bitcoin failed to reclaim the 50W EMA level.

If this level is reclaimed soon, bulls will be fully in control.

🚨BREAKING: Bitcoin dumped $1,800 and liquidated $80 million worth of longs in just 90 minutes.

But then it pumped $1,400 and liquidated $20 million worth of shorts in the next 15 minutes.

Leverage hunting in crypto continues.

🚨BREAKING: Russell 2000 hits a new all-time high after the U.S. open,

The index is up 7% in the first 15 days of 2026 and adding nearly $220 billion in market value.

This shows a clear rotation of capital toward higher risk assets.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Blackrock’s Larry Fink just said there’s a strong case for rate cuts if you believe in AI.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 TRUMP JUST DE-ESCALATED WITH IRAN

Not through State Department.
Not through Switzerland.
Not through Qatar.

Through Pakistan. At 1am.

Iran’s ambassador received the message overnight: No attack. Exercise restraint.

Brent crashed 2.5% within hours.

Why Pakistan? 959 kilometers of shared border. ISI-IRGC channels predating both governments. Geographic inevitability with plausible deniability.

Qatar offers neutrality. Pakistan offers something better: a channel where both sides claim they never talked.

Trump says he told them to behave. Iran says they showed strength. Neither capitulates publicly. The architecture lets both narratives survive.

72 hours ago the world watched Diego Garcia. Six B-2 bombers. Half the combat-ready stealth fleet. GBU-57 bunker busters designed for Fordow.

Wing of Zion evacuated to Greece. The exact pattern preceding June 2025.

Every signal pointed to war.

Then a message moved through Islamabad at 1am and the calculus inverted.

The buildup was never preparation for strikes.

It was leverage for this moment.

Trump proved in June he would act. Seven B-2s. Fourteen bunker busters. Largest strike of its kind in history.

Now he is proving he can restrain.

Markets understood instantly. WTI settled $60.11. CFTC longs unwinding. Another $4-6 downside as positioning catches reality.

But here is what oil bulls are missing.

Lower prices compress Iranian revenues 10-15%. Lower revenues deepen the fiscal crisis. Deeper crisis accelerates pressure on a regime already bleeding in the streets.

Trump does not need bombs.

Price compression does the work.

The 25% tariffs on Iran’s trading partners complete the architecture. China and India face $70 billion exposure. Economic strangulation without a single Tomahawk.

The protesters are still dying. The rial is still collapsing.

But the bombs are not coming.

Not because Washington is weak.

Because Washington already won.

The art of the deal. Executed at 1am. Through a border that cannot be ignored.

🚨🇮🇷 IRAN SHUT DOWN ITS AIRSPACE AGAIN: TESTING NEW RUSSIAN ADVANCED AIR DEFENSE MISSLES?

Iran just told airlines to stay the hell out of western airspace tonight because, surprise: live weapons are flying.

The rumor? They might be testing their new S-400 systems, which are basically high-end anti-aircraft missiles built to knock out stealth jets and ballistic threats.

If true, Iran is basically trying to say, “yeah, we’re ready.”

#Gold is dropping hard !

Money is flowing into Bitcoin.

🚨BREAKING🚨

🇺🇸 US Initial Jobless Claims:

Actual: 198k
Expected: 215k

$BTC went down 36% in 1.5 months.

Consolidated for 2 months and had its first breakout, which was led by institutional accumulation.

And bears are calling for a top here while shorting the market.

People will never learn.

LIQUIDATION ALERT 🚨

$5,000,000,000 in shorts will get liquidated if $ETH pumps 10%.

After BTC, it's time for the ETH pump.

🚨THE CRYPTO MARKET STRUCTURE BILL WAS DELAYED BECAUSE OF BIG BANKS.

Let us explain this in simple words.

Banks do not want real competition.
DeFi and stablecoins threaten their core business. This bill, in its current form, limits that competition instead of encouraging fair innovation.

Even JPMorgan’s CFO said it clearly:
If stablecoins are allowed to offer yield, banks will see large money outflows.

That one statement explains a lot.

Brian Armstrong said this bill would make crypto worse than it is today.

He said directly: no bill is better than a bad bill.

Not because regulation is bad, but because this version protects banks more than it protects innovation.

Now look at what the bill actually does:

1. TOKENIZED STOCKS WOULD BE ALMOST BANNED

Crypto versions of equities would become nearly impossible in the US.
This kills one of the biggest real world use cases of blockchain.

2. DEFI WOULD BE TREATED LIKE BANKS

The government would get broad access to user data. Every transaction would need reporting.
This destroys privacy and kills the whole idea of decentralization.
DeFi stops being DeFi and becomes another bank system.

3. CFTC GETS WEAKER, SEC GETS MORE POWER

Power gets centralized under one regulator. Innovation slows down.
Crypto native projects face higher compliance and more uncertainty.

4. STABLECOIN REWARDS COULD BE BANNED

Stablecoins would not be allowed to pay yield.

Why? Because yield attracts deposits away from banks.
This directly protects the banking system from competition.

So when you connect everything:

• DeFi becomes controlled
• Stablecoins lose yield
• Tokenization gets blocked
• Banks face less competition

This bill does not help crypto much but It protects banks.

$ICP starting to break out. If we can hold pdEQ and reclaim the daily open, I’m looking for a push toward $5.
