Coinbase pulls support for Senate Crypto Bill 🛑

Earlier this week! Brian Armstrong announced that Coinbase is withdrawing support for the new market structure bill released by the Senate Banking Committee.

Why the sudden move? Armstrong says "no bill is better than a bad bill." He’s concerned the current draft would:

❌ Ban rewards/yield on stablecoins.
❌ Kill off tokenized equities.
❌ Give the SEC too much control over DeFi and privacy.

The Senate vote has been postponed for now. It's a huge moment for the industry as we push for better rules, not just any rules.

What do you think? Is Armstrong right to walk away, or do we need this legislation passed ASAP? 👇

Institutional crypto giant BitGo officially filed for its U.S. IPO, marking a massive milestone for regulated digital asset infrastructure.

The Key Numbers:
Valuation: Targeting up to $1.96 Billion.
Capital Goal: Raising up to $201 Million.
Listing: NYSE under ticker $BTGO.
Price Range: $15–$17 per share (11.8M shares offered).
Underwriters: Led by heavyweights Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.

Why This Matters:
BitGo isn't just another crypto firm. As of late 2025, they manage over $104 Billion in assets across 1,550+ digital assets.

The move follows a major regulatory win in December 2025, where they received conditional OCC approval to operate as a federally chartered national trust bank. This "pure-play" custody listing is a huge signal of confidence for institutional adoption in 2026!

$FOGO Sharp drop at listing probably cus of airdrop given to people (e.g. pre-tge).

Will it bounce back or that's just the beginning?

JUST IN: US Initial Unemployment Claims Data is OUT!

🚀 Actual: 198,000
📊 Expected: 215,000

What it means: The labor market is proving much more resilient than analysts predicted. A "beat" like this (lower claims than expected) suggests the US economy is avoiding a slowdown.

Market Impact: For Bitcoin, this confirms a "soft landing" narrative. While a strong labor market usually gives the Fed room to stay firm on rates, the combination of today's jobs data and this week’s cooling CPI (2.6%) fundamentally can push $BTC rally toward $100K.

Let's see how it market moves.
#BTC100kNext?  

Let's highlight the part where @CZ said $BTC "will definitely reach $200,000, it's just a matter of time"

CZ says U.S. crypto policy might turn more friendly soon — could this be a catalyst for the next rally?

CRITICAL MACRO DATA IN 30 MINS | Expect Volatility!

We have a heavy batch of US economic data dropping in just 30 minutes. This will be a major driver for the DXY and BTC.

Time: 13:30 UTC
Data: PPI & Retail Sales

What to watch:

Bullish for Crypto: If Retail Sales miss (showing a weak consumer) or PPI comes in lower than expected (cooling inflation). This could weaken the Dollar and pump risk assets.

Bearish for Crypto: If Retail Sales beat expectations significantly or PPI "heats up." This gives the Fed more reason to keep rates "higher for longer," likely pushing BTC, ETH and other Alts into a local correction.

Trade safe and watch your leverage

#PPI

Looking at $SOL a bit here.

SOL is pushing back into a major resistance zone around 145 (purple area).

Break & close above 145 means room for continuation
Rejection here means possible pullback to 135–126 (AKA, we are still ranging on SOL)

So I'm watching for confirmation at this level, and with BTC showing some strength, I'm hopeful, so as long as the strength from BTC isn't fake, we should see some greens

U.S. CPI Alert: December Inflation Holds Firm 🚨

The final inflation report for 2025 is out. While inflation didn't "explode," it remains sticky enough to keep the Federal Reserve on high alert.

The Numbers:
Headline CPI (YoY): 2.7% (Expected: 2.7% | Prev: 2.7%)
Core CPI (YoY): 2.7% (Expected: 2.7% | Prev: 2.6%)
Monthly CPI: +0.3%

Why this matters:
Fed Watch: Core inflation ticked up slightly from last month. This makes a January interest rate cut less certain, as the Fed aims for that elusive 2% target.
Liquidity: If the Fed stays "higher for longer" to fight prices, global liquidity remains tight—usually a headwind for risk assets like Bitcoin and Alts.

Market Reaction: Bitcoin is holding steady for now, as the data didn't produce a major upside surprise. However, watch the DXY (Dollar Index); if it climbs on this news, we might see some short-term pressure on BTC.

Saylor is still at it: $1.25B More BTC Off the Market

While a lot of retail are still looking to get back into the market as we eye the $90k - $94k zone, Michael Saylor’s Strategy went ahead and bought another 13,627 BTC.

• Latest buy: 13,627 BTC at ~$91k
• Total holdings: About 700,000 $BTC
• Total value: Over $60B

This isn’t “buying the dip.” Strategy is using an ATM (at-the-market) equity program to convert company shares directly into Bitcoin. That’s what you can call conviction, not hype.

Let's not forget, institutions can hold for long periods, so this doesn't mean instant pump, but at the very least is an indicator of "fear not"

What do you think?

What are we going to do about #BTC

Bitcoin is playing a game of "wait and see" between $90k and $94k. While the bulls are eyeing that $94k break, the overall view says we are still in a range (waaay too long range).

What I'm watching this week:
$BTC Support: If we lose $90k, we might most likely go back to range lows.

BTC Break: If we get the $94k break, $97k would not be far off

I’m still staying mostly liquid (I'm that conservative) here and waiting for a confirmed breakout.

What’s your move? Are you buying this range or waiting for a dip?

Understanding the #RSI Indicator - Part 2

In my previous post, I explained why the conventional RSI reversal strategy (immediately selling at 70 or buying at 30) consistently fails and outlined a more profitable approach to executing the RSI reversal strategy. Now I want to share the RSI trend continuation approach: using RSI to trade WITH the trend rather than against it.

The Concept: RSI as a Green Light
Instead of seeing 70 as "overbought," see it as Extreme Strength. Instead of 30 being "oversold," see it as Heavy Selling Pressure.

The Trend Continuation Strategy

1. For Uptrends (RSI > 70):
The Signal: RSI crosses above 70, confirming a powerful bull move.
The Entry: Don't FOMO. Drop to a lower timeframe and wait for a pullback to a support zone or moving average.
The Trade: Enter Long on the dip. Set your Stop Loss below the recent swing low.

2. For Downtrends (RSI < 30):
The Signal: RSI drops below 30, confirming dominant bearish momentum.
The Entry: Wait for a relief rally (dead cat bounce) to a resistance or supply zone.
The Trade: Enter Short. Set your Stop Loss above the recent swing high.

Why this works better:
Alignment: You are trading with the "Big Money" momentum.
Risk/Reward: Entering on pullbacks gives you a much tighter Stop Loss than guessing a reversal.
Psychology: It’s easier to go with the flow than to stand in front of a freight train.

Pro Tips for Success
Trend First: Always identify the market structure (Higher Highs/Higher Lows) before looking at the RSI.
Range Context: In an uptrend, RSI rarely hits 30. If you’re waiting for 30 to buy a dip in a bull market, you’ll be left behind.
Combine Tools: Use this with Support/Resistance, Volume, or Moving Averages for high-concurrency setups.

Bottom Line: Whether you prefer reversals or continuation, the goal is mastery. A stick in the hand of a master is mightier than a sword in the hand of a novice. Pick your style and backtest it!

Understanding the RSI Indicator

Trading #RSI at 70/30 Doesn't Work Like They Tell You

Most traders are taught that RSI above 70 = sell and RSI below 30 = buy. In practice, this approach often leads to losses because it misunderstands what RSI is actually showing.

What RSI Really Measures
RSI at extreme levels does not signal immediate reversals. Instead, it reflects momentum strength:

RSI above 70 = strong bullish momentum, buyers are in control
RSI below 30 = strong bearish momentum, sellers dominate

Selling at RSI 70 or buying at RSI 30 means trading against the trend at its strongest point, which is usually low probability.

A Better Way to Use RSI (Counter-Trend)

Instead of trading at 70 or 30, wait for confirmation that momentum is weakening:

Overbought setup:
RSI goes above 70 → wait for it to cross back below 70 (or even 65–60 for stronger confirmation).

Stop loss: RSI moving back above 70.

Oversold setup:
RSI drops below 30 → wait for it to cross back above 30 (or 35–40 for confirmation).

Stop loss: RSI moving back below 30.

This forces the market to prove a momentum shift before you enter.

Why This Works Better
Extreme RSI levels show trend strength, not exhaustion. Waiting for RSI to exit those zones improves timing, risk-reward, and avoids fighting strong momentum.

Final Takeaways

RSI 70/30 = momentum strength, not immediate entry signals
Counter-trend trades work better after RSI reverses

RSI can also be used for trend continuation (buy above 70, sell below 30)

Best results come from combining RSI with other tools (price action, patterns, levels, etc.)

#trading is already difficult in itself, when you try to oppose strong momentum, you're basically increasing the difficulty level. Working with market conditions rather than against them has proven to be the most reliable approach, and interpreting RSI correctly will be helpful in your trading journey.
