STANCHART REDUCES BTC TARGET AND WARNS OF THE RISK OF A FALL TO $50,000
The banking giant Standard Chartered, valued at $800 billion, reduced its Bitcoin target for the end of 2026 from $150,000 to $100,000 and warned of a short-term drop to $50,000.
The bank also cut its forecast for ETH to $4,000, with a downside risk of $1,400, attributing it to the outflow of ETF funds, weakening macroeconomic conditions, and the delay in the Fed's interest rate cuts.
RUSSIA PROPOSES TO RETURN TO THE DOLLAR. IS IT A BETRAYAL TO BRICS AND CHINA?
This comes days after the President of China stated that he wants the yuan to be the GLOBAL REFERENCE CURRENCY.
After adopting the yuan and other alternative payment methods following the sanctions, Russia proposed to return to payments in DOLLARS.
What exactly happened?
🔻The goal of this is to achieve a joint agreement. You can see the details in the cited post 🔻As soon as this proposal for an AGREEMENT between Russia and the U.S. was made public, the dollar strengthened and #Bitcoin reacted negatively. 🔻It is not a coincidence. 🔻Everything that strengthens the dollar has a NEGATIVE impact on #crypto in general
Will this be the start of an internal fight within BRICS or is it something that was previously agreed upon?
The U.S. Senate Banking Committee says it is working with SEC Chairman Paul Atkins on a bill regarding the structure of the cryptocurrency market, aiming to position the United States as the global capital of cryptocurrencies.
Everything is falling, the SP500, #Bitcoin, gold, and silver... And there is a particular reason (AUTOMATIC SELLING)
-Silver has been falling by 11% -Gold fell by 4% in just 30 minutes -The SP500 has been falling by 1.60%
What is the main reason for the risk aversion we are seeing TODAY?
The current situation of the CTAs (FUNDS that operate with ALGORITHMS) is of selling pressure in the U.S. stock market (according to Goldman Sachs)
🔻These algorithms have to SELL BY MANDATE $20B of U.S. stocks BETWEEN TODAY AND TOMORROW 🔻If the S&P 500 falls below 6,707 (key medium-term level), up to $80B additional systematic sales would be unlocked in the next month. 🔻This comes at the worst moment for the SP500 🔻There is a CLEAR TRIPLE TOP along with a HUGE BEARISH DIVERGENCE
📍This gives pause for thought, according to technical analysis + fundamental analysis, a drop may be looming 📍And if that drop occurs, the 100-day moving average would break to the downside, which would generate MORE PANIC
The SEC chairman, Paul Atkins, outlines the priorities for 2026: better enforcement of anti-fraud regulations, simplified information, and regulatory clarity on cryptocurrencies through coordination with the CFTC.
Mike McGlone from Bloomberg Intelligence says that Tether's market capitalization could surpass Ethereum near $1,500 $ETH and even rival Bitcoin if BTC falls dramatically.
The chairman of the Financial Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives just said live on Fox that cryptocurrencies will disrupt traditional financial systems.
BLOCKFILLS SUSPENDS DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS: ANOTHER DOMINO ABOUT TO FALL LIKE FTX?
The institutional firm that managed $60B in 2025 has just frozen its clients' funds.
It serves over 2,000 institutions, including hedge funds and asset managers.
Why does it seem GRAVE?
🔻We have seen this pattern before: ▪️2022: Celsius, BlockFi, Vauld, Genesis, Voyager ▪️ALL suspended withdrawals before collapsing ▪️That domino effect led to the fall of FTX
And what makes BlockFills different?
▪️IT IS NOT RETAIL: only clients with over $10M in digital assets ▪️It is institutional capital that may be trapped ▪️Its exposure could affect LARGE companies ▪️If BlockFills falls, it won't be regular users that fall, but the treasuries of the projects that support the ecosystem
Why now?
▪️We are seeing HIGH VOLATILITY, last week #Bitcoin fell 15% in 1 day and has been down over 45% since the ATH ▪️That strains balances and reveals holes
We are about to find out if this is a temporary problem... or the beginning of a structural collapse like in 2022
