Yesterday, I flagged the possibility of a market turn in advance, so those who needed to take profit did, while those who didn’t were stopped out at breakeven.
After a sharp drop, Bitcoin and Ether also successfully made a V-shaped recovery.
The big players realized that continuing to push prices down and liquidate longs would cost too much, so they cleared out some shorts first.
Bitcoin is currently at 83,000 and 84,500, where many shorts have their stop-losses, so in the short term BTC is likely to wick above 83,000 and then come back down. I’ll place an order to go short around 83,100.

#BitcoinTops$82K Bitcoin Tops $82K, Is the Market Preparing for Its Next Major Move?
Bitcoin has climbed above the $82,000 mark, bringing renewed attention to the world's largest cryptocurrency and raising an important question for traders. Is this breakout the beginning of a stronger upward trend, or will the market face another round of selling pressure?
A move above a major psychological price level can change market sentiment quickly. When Bitcoin crosses a round number such as $82,000, traders often begin watching volume, momentum, liquidity, and the behavior of short-term price action mo

#xauusd #Altın broke the descending blue trendline; technically, as long as it holds the 4067 level, the upside potential will continue.
It may test the 4399 level once it breaks the resistance in the 4189-4220 zone.
A close above the 4399 high is expected to lead to further upside.
We can monitor the 4510- 4696- 4893-4995-5597 resistances.

Just tell me whether this place is worth visiting.

#LatviaPassesCryptoTaxLaw
The Latvian Parliament (Saeima) has introduced significant amendments to personal income tax laws concerning digital assets. Moving away from taxing individual micro-transactions, the legislation establishes an investment account model ; under this framework, tax is triggered only when withdrawals from a crypto account exceed the original capital invested. Furthermore, it introduces a one-time 10% declaration window in 2027 for previously undeclared assets, aligning national tax rules with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework and European Union taxatio

I’ve recently been systematically studying @poteto’s pstack—truly amazing! It feels like a whole new world has opened up!
I’ll share what I learn along the way:

SanDisk has built a solid base at the bottom. After breaking above its previous high, it is consolidating strongly at elevated levels, with bullishly aligned moving averages and exceptionally strong buying support. It is currently in a continuation phase of its main uptrend, with momentum fully built. Once a breakout is confirmed, the upside potential will fully open up; stay bullish with the trend toward the 1450 target. $BTC$SNDK#Stake in LaunchPool to share 2.8 million$DNA#比特币短线站上8.2万美元 #拉脱维亚通过加密货币税法 #韩国KOSPI开盘暴跌3.17% $SNDK ‌
