Solana price $SOL hits 3-month high These 5 analysts expect a new yearly high
Solana (SOL) price has been rising rapidly since October 13 and is approaching its yearly high.
Solana price also broke an inverse head and shoulders pattern. How long will it continue to rise?
Analysts are optimistic about Solana Analysts at #criptomonedas have a predominantly bullish sentiment towards Solana.
Tradermayne believes the price will rise to $40. But his bullish analysis is conditional on a bullish weekly candle close.
Rager and DaanCrypto also noted the importance of the $38 horizontal resistance area, which coincides with the yearly high. This area has been crucial since 2021, supporting and resisting.
Finally, CryptoGodJohn believes that SOL price will eventually reach $250 in the long term and may even reach $450 if it reaches the market cap of #Ethereum
Will it reach the new yearly high? The daily time frame shows that SOL price has been trading within an inverse head and shoulders (IH&S) pattern since February. The IH&S is considered a bullish pattern, which usually leads to breakouts.
Today, SOL price is in the process of breaking out of the pattern neckline. A daily close above $26 will confirm the altcoin's breakout. #crypto2023 #cryptocurrency
#blackRock blocks withdrawals from its flagship fund of $26 billion while its shares plummet.
BlackRock, the titan of $14+ trillion in AUM, has raised global liquidity alarms. After a flood of redemption requests that exceeded the established limits, the world's largest asset manager had to "shut the window" on its flagship private credit fund: the HPS Corporate Lending Fund (acquired via the purchase of HPS for $12B in 2025), which manages $26 billion, causing a drop of more than 5% in the opening of its shares in New York.
Liquidity corral: In the face of a surge in withdrawal requests that reached 9.3% of capital, BlackRock applied the statutory limit of 5% (about $1.2 billion). This means that thousands of investors have been "trapped" without being able to withdraw their money, a measure that BlackRock defends as a "protection feature" but which the market reads as a symptom of stress.
The trigger: Zero loans: Distrust surged after it became known that the fund had to value private loans to companies like Infinite Commerce Holdings as "zero" (total loss). This has raised suspicions about how many more "corpses" are in the credit portfolios of 2021 that have not withstood high interest rates.
Impact on #WallStreet : The news wiped out billions in market capitalization of BlackRock in minutes. The 5% drop spread to other giants in the sector like KKR, #Apollo and #blackstone , amid fears that private credit, (the main engine of the market last year), may actually be a bubble of illiquid assets. #CryptoNews $QQQon $BTC $AAPLon
Victory for Justin Sun? The #SEC withdraws the charges against the founder of Tron after a million-dollar agreement
What began as one of the most publicized legal battles in the crypto industry has taken an unexpected turn. The SEC of the United States has decided to dismiss the direct charges against #JustinSun and its foundations, closing a chapter of uncertainty that weighed on the Tron and BitTorrent ecosystem since 2023.
The Southern District Court of New York confirmed the withdrawal of personal accusations against Justin Sun, the Foundation #Tron and the Foundation #BitTorrent
The bill of 10 million: Not everything has been free. Rainberry (formerly BitTorrent Inc.), under Sun's command, has agreed to pay a civil fine of 10 million dollars. This payment is made under the formula of "neither admit nor deny" the allegations of having sold unregistered securities and market manipulation.
The fate of the celebrities: The case, famous for involving figures like Lindsay Lohan and Jake Paul, ends with most celebrities paying around $400,000 in fines for promoting tokens ( #TRX and BTT) without revealing that they were paid advertising.
Implicit jurisdictional victory: Although the parties accepted jurisdiction for the agreement, Sun has always questioned the SEC's authority over his global activities, an argument that seems to have forced a negotiated resolution instead of a prolonged trial.
Compliance commitment: Rainberry has formally committed to avoiding deceptive practices in the future, although without acknowledging any guilt for the initially alleged "wash trading" operations.
The end of euphoria? Bitcoin clings to 70k while oil and geopolitics threaten to freeze the market
The optimism that led to #bitcoin nearing $74,000 in the middle of the week has hit a wall of macroeconomic reality. What seemed like a clear path to new highs has turned into a litmus test for risky assets.
Fragility in psychological support: After failing to consolidate above $74,000, #BTC has retreated, now struggling to maintain itself above the critical barrier of $70,000.
The "Oil Factor" and inflation: The escalation of tensions in the Middle East has pushed Brent crude to a high of $85 per barrel (a 42% increase so far this year). This energy surge has turned expectations on their head: the market no longer only rules out rate cuts but also begins to fear a rate hike by the ECB by the end of the year.
Flight to safety: The specter of higher interest rates is pushing capital out of volatile assets (like crypto) into havens that offer stable and secure returns.
Apathy in the #altcoins : Sentiment on social media toward the speculative market is at a low. According to data from Santiment, social volume reflects a disinterest or fear that leaves altcoins in a position of extreme vulnerability. #CryptoNews $BTC $SOL $DOGE
Oil #WTI breaks the barrier of $81 as the conflict with Iran spirals out of control
The crude on fire
Two-year highs and panic in the markets The military escalation between the United States and Iran has ceased to be a rhetorical threat to become the main driver of global markets. Crude has reacted with an upward violence not seen in months, reflecting fear of a prolonged disruption in global supply.
Recent historical peak: WTI (West Texas Intermediate) oil has climbed to $81.16 per barrel, marking an increase of over 8% in a single session.
Two-year ceiling: Current prices represent the highest levels recorded in almost 24 months, driven by the lack of a clear peace horizon among the warring powers.
Panic volume: Trading activity has surged 225% above the usual average, confirming a massive exit from short positions and an aggressive entry of capital seeking refuge in commodities.
Military uncertainty: The market is discounting that the war with Iran "has no end in sight," which could establish a new support floor for oil above $80 in the short term. #OilPrice #OilMarket #CryptoNews $BTC $QQQon $ETH
#TRUMP Media (DJT) Sangra $400 Million en #BTC The crypto bet of $1.37B from September 2025 turns into a nightmare of On-Chain losses!
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG, ticker $DJT), the company behind Truth Social and largely owned by the revocable trust of #DonaldTrump , revealed a massive purchase of $1.37 billion in Bitcoin in September 2025, (when BTC was around $118,000), but has seen more than $400 million in value evaporate in just six months, with on-chain wallets confirming unrealized losses of $416 million.
The Initial Purchase and Unfortunate Timing: In September 2025, #DJT announced the acquisition of 11,542 BTC (valued at $1.37B at the time), as part of an aggressive strategy to build one of the largest corporate treasuries in crypto (inspired by #strategy ). This followed raises of $2.5B in May and July to finance massive purchases, elevating holdings to peaks of $2B. However, the timing coincided with the peak of the bullish cycle, just before the five-month bearish streak that sank BTC 50% to the current $70K.
The Uncertainty of the Future: With the balance in red and a significant loss in market value compared to the initial acquisition cost, the question for DJT shareholders is whether the company will maintain its "HODL" strategy or if financial pressure will force a liquidation that could further sink the price. $BTC $WLFI $TRUMP
Arthur Hayes Alert Bitcoin has still NOT decoupled from SaaS Tech, this bounce to $70K could just be a “Dead Cat Bounce”
Arthur explains that #bitcoin it is still moving in sync with American SaaS tech companies. There is no real decoupling yet. The price of #BTC remains tied to the behavior of the big software tech (#NASDAQ , software stocks), meaning that any macro movement in tech drags Bitcoin along.
He explains that the recent jump to $70,000 could just be a “dead cat bounce” (false technical rebound or “dead cat bounce”). That is, a temporary and misleading upward movement following a sharp drop, without structural foundation.
And he concludes with a clear message: “We aren’t in the clear yet. Be patient.” We are not out of danger yet. Hayes urges to stay calm and not FOMO into the current bounce.
Hayes, known for his contrarian macro thesis, is not saying that the bull market is over. He only warns that this bounce is technical and fragile, driven by short squeeze and temporary de-escalation, not by a true change in trend or strong institutional capital inflow. #CryptoNews $BTC $QQQon $NVDAon
#bitcoin en Historical Overbought Zone The Weekly RSI Drops to the Third Lowest Level in Its History
Is this the ultimate bottom or just more pain?
Pessimism is absolute, but for the experts at K33, this is precisely the moment to stop being "the herd" and start being "the wolf". Bitcoin is sending signals of selling exhaustion that are only seen once every few years, with a #RSI de 26.84, the third lowest reading ever recorded in the history of the asset.
📊 Historical panic levels: The weekly RSI has fallen to 26.84. It is the third lowest reading in the entire history of Bitcoin. Translation: the asset is more "oversold" than ever after 5 consecutive months of red candles.
❄️ Derivatives are "frozen": For the tenth time since 2018, funding rates are negative. Traders are paying extremely high premiums to bet on the downside (shorts), which has historically been the prelude to massive rebounds (of up to 101% in 180 days).
💼 Institutions on a diet: #WallStreet has shed ballast: ETFs reduced holdings by 90,000 #BTC and #CME fell by 35%. But beware!, the bleeding is stopping and the "strong hands" (holders for more than 6 months) have begun to accumulate again.
🌍 Geopolitical Resilience: While the Middle East burns and oil prices soar, Bitcoin has held its ground. It no longer drops with bad news because, simply put, there is no one left to sell.
🧱 The 200 Wall: The price is toying with the 200-week moving average, the sacred support that historically marks the end of bear markets.
Vetle Lunde from K33 is clear: "The worst is already over". The risk of selling here is much greater than the benefit. We are in an accumulation phase, although it may take a little longer for the bottom to solidify. $BTC $ETH $ASTER
Kraken Breaks Historical Barriers First crypto company with a master account at the Federal Reserve, direct access to Fedwire and the heart of the U.S. banking system!
Kraken Financial (the Wyoming banking unit of Payward Inc., parent company of Kraken) has obtained a master account from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, becoming the first digital asset company in U.S. history with direct access to the core of the U.S. payment system.
🔌 Direct Connection to the Heart of the Dollar: Kraken Financial can now transfer funds through Fedwire (the Fed's real-time gross settlement system, which moves >$4-5 trillion daily among thousands of banks and credit unions). This eliminates traditional banking intermediaries (correspondent banks), reducing costs, times, and operational risks for institutional and professional clients.
💪 A stroke of authority: Kraken has managed to enter the most exclusive club in the financial world. As its CEO, Arjun Sethi, says: "We are no longer peripheral; we are core infrastructure." "With a master account at the Federal Reserve, we can operate not as a peripheral participant in the U.S. banking system, but as a financial institution directly connected. For a Wyoming SPDI structured in a full-reserve model, this creates a unique and resilient foundation. It allows us to settle directly in Fedwire, reduce dependence on correspondent banks, and integrate regulated fiat liquidity directly into digital asset markets. This is what cryptocurrency infrastructure looks like when it matures and becomes central financial infrastructure."
📈 Path to Real Wall Street: This milestone comes just as Payward Inc. (parent company of Kraken) prepares for its initial public offering (IPO). Having an account at the Fed is the ultimate stamp of approval for stock market investors.
There’s no turning back now. Morgan Stanley (MS) has laid its cards on the table before the SEC with its new Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust. What makes this move historic isn’t just the fund itself—but who’s behind it, holding the keys.
🛡️ Ironclad Custody: The bank has designed a “double-lock” structure, leveraging Coinbase Custody and the Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). The majority of Bitcoin will reside in “cold vaults” (disconnected from the internet) to thwart any potential hacking attempts.
🏦 BNY Mellon Takes the Helm: The oldest bank in the U.S. won’t just store the cryptocurrencies—it will also serve as the administrator, transfer agent, and cash custodian. This marks the complete integration of traditional banking into the very DNA of #BTC .
✨ Pure Simplicity: No exotic derivatives or risky leverage here. The ETF will be a passive vehicle: you’ll simply purchase shares that represent actual Bitcoin—period.
📈 Price Transparency: To eliminate any doubt about value, they’ll use the CoinDesk Bitcoin Benchmark at 4:00 PM (New York time). An institutional standard that lets investors sleep soundly.
⚠️ The Fine Print on Insurance: Be warned—the prospectus cautions that while insurance is in place, it’s shared among many clients. A footnote that every institutional investor will read twice. #CryptoNews $BTC $ETH $QQQon
"Do you want to pay interest? Become a bank!" The ultimatum from #JamieDimon that shakes the #Stablecoins of yield
The eternal skeptic (and now strategist) Jamie Dimon, CEO of #JPMorgan , has launched a direct dart at the heart of the stablecoin ecosystem. In a 2026 where the Law #GENIUS already leads the way, Dimon does not want "regulatory shortcuts".
⚖️ Level playing field: Dimon demands that crypto platforms play by the same rules as #WallStreet . If a stablecoin offers yields simply for holding the balance, to him it is a bank and must comply with capital, liquidity, and FDIC insurance.
💳 The "Red Line" of interest: JPMorgan does not oppose innovation (in fact, they love their own deposit token), but warns that rewards for "inactive holdings" are disguised interest. What is his proposal? That only incentives linked to real transactions should be allowed.
📉 Fear of deposit flight: The traditional banking sector fears that these "reward" coins will divert money from community banks, jeopardizing the financial stability of the system.
🏛️ Legislative battle on the horizon: With the Clarity Law in full negotiation in the Senate, the debate over whether third-party rewards are legal or not will be the "battle of the year" between regulators and crypto companies.
🚀 The positive side: Despite the friction, JPMorgan analysts believe that if these rules are clarified by mid-year, institutional tokenization will explode in the second half of 2026. $ONDO $RED $ASTER
Goodbye to 'HODL', hello to AI! Core Scientific liquidates its Bitcoins to conquer the throne of high-performance computing
Plot twist in the mining world! 🔄 #CoreScientific , the giant of #NASDAQ , has decided that 2026 is the year to "cash out". After a 2025 accumulating coins like crazy, the strategy has changed radically:
Massive sell-off in progress: 💸 The company plans to liquidate the majority of its #bitcoins this very year, with the pedal to the metal during the first quarter.
They've already started to shed ballast: 📉 In January, they already "burned" 1,900 #BTC (about $175 million), taking advantage of juicy prices close to $92k. They left their reserves shivering with just over 600 BTC!
Why this change?: 🤖 It's not out of fear, it's out of ambition. The money goes directly to fund their metamorphosis: transforming their mining farms into AI and high-density computing data centers.
They are not the only ones: 🏃♂️ It's an unstoppable trend. Names like #RIOT , TeraWulf, and Bitdeer are doing the same: exchanging Bitcoin volatility for the stable and predictable contracts of Artificial Intelligence. $BTC $QQQon $ETH
Tehran Lighthouse? The #CENTCOM debunks the blockade of #ormuz and calms the markets after the threats from the IRGC
Fox News National Security Correspondent, Jennifer Griffin, citing direct sources from CENTCOM (U.S. Central Command), has categorically denied that the Strait of Hormuz is closed. This information provides immediate relief from the war rhetoric of the Revolutionary Guard.
False Alarms: Despite the official announcement from the IRGC, CENTCOM assures that the strait is not closed and that Iranian patrol activity has not increased unusually.
No Mines in Sight: There is no evidence that Iran is mining the waters, a tactic that would be necessary for an effective and lasting blockade.
The China Factor: There is a powerful economic brake: 80% of Iranian oil is exported to China. Blocking the strait would be, in practice, an "economic suicide" for Iran and a direct blow to its main strategic ally. #oil #OilPrice #OilMarket $BTC $XAU $XAG
Real rally or trap for bulls? Beware, the Bitcoin rebound to $70K is just a brutal Short Squeeze, not a new wave of buying, an analyst warns that the rally may fade quickly!
The recent jump of 5% in the price of #bitcoin , which brought it close again to $70,000, is not the result of a new wave of mass adoption, but of an "emergency evacuation" of short sellers.
The surge was a technical response to the covering of short positions. Traders betting on a decline following geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran were forced to buy back their positions, injecting artificial and rapid buying pressure.
The fragility of leverage: Open Interest (OI) rose by 8%, confirming that the movement is sustained by derivatives and debt, not by spot purchases. Without real demand from investors who hold their coins in wallets, the price lacks a solid floor.
Critical liquidation zones: According to data from CoinGlass, there is a wall of $218 million in positions that would be liquidated if the price falls to the range of $64,650 - $65,250. This means that the "lifebuoy" that pushed the price on Monday is also the weight that could sink it if sentiment changes.
The $100K barrier remains far: Mark Connors from Risk Dimensions warns that this movement is not the beginning of the race towards six digits. As long as the resistance of $72,000 (February high) and $75,000 is not surpassed with real volume, we remain in a medium-term downtrend that has already halved the price in previous months.
The Macro factor: The stabilization of Bitcoin ETF outflows helped calm the nerves, but analysts agree that the market is "tense" and extremely sensitive to any headline about the conflict in the Middle East. #CryptoNews #BTC $BTC $ETH $WLFI
Global Panic Iran "Closes" the Strait of Hormuz and Threatens to Set Ships on Fire; Oil Prices Soar
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has escalated the regional conflict to a point of no return. Ebrahim Jabari, a senior advisor to the Iranian command, confirmed that the Strait of #ormuz is officially closed under the warning that any vessel attempting to cross will be "set on fire" by naval forces.
The Blockade: This is not just a verbal threat. The major shipping lines in the world (Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, MSC) have already suspended all their transits through the strait. Ships are receiving radio warnings from the Iranian navy prohibiting passage.
Impact on Oil: The Strait of Hormuz is the most vital artery in the world; 20% of global crude passes through it. WTI prices have already jumped more than 8% in the last few hours, and analysts warn that they could exceed $100 if the blockade persists.
War Context: This measure is Tehran's response to the recent massive attacks by the U.S. and Israel against Iranian infrastructure following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. It is a "scorched earth" tactic to force a ceasefire.
Logistical Chaos: More than 200 tankers and gas ships (LNG) are currently anchored or seeking refuge in Gulf waters, unable to depart. This immediately cuts off supply to much of Asia and Europe. #GoldSilverOilSurge #OilMarket #OilPrice $XAU $XAG $BTC
