🛢️ US$515 million that never made it into the country. The Bare Block case revealed how much a Venezuelan oil field is really worth… and how much revenue the Republic failed to collect.
Engineer Elías Matta, a former member of Congress and an expert in the energy business, put numbers to an issue that almost always remains just talk: awarding oil fields directly, without a public tender. The Bare Block, located in the Orinoco Oil Belt, is a case that can no longer be swept under the rug.
The technical details are troubling: the deal was structured through the purchase of a Panamanian company,

$APR Down 33% in a day, from 0.042 straight to 0.0275—this isn’t a pullback; it’s a guillotine. The 24h low of 0.0228 was tested once. Trading volume surged to 92M as the price fell, a classic cascade of long liquidations. Technically, 0.0228 is the only needle-point support today, but the high-volume bearish candle closed near the low, and the rebound structure is already broken. Don’t catch a falling knife. Wait for two signals: first, if price stabilizes in the 0.0228–0.0230 range on lower volume and forms a lower wick, consider a small long position, no more than 20% of your portfolio; sec

The government has ended the issuance of the old, machine readable, passports!
Pakistan has switched all new passport applications to e-passports, ending the issuance of machine-readable passports across the country.
The normal fee for a five-year, 36-page passport has doubled from Rs. 4,500 to Rs. 9,000, while the urgent fee has risen from Rs. 7,500 to Rs. 15,000.
Existing machine-readable passports remain valid until they expire.

#GateBTCAndETHFuturesVolumeRanksTop3
Gate.io Solidifies Its Position as a Global Derivatives Powerhouse
The crypto market never sleeps, and neither does Gate.io. In one of the most competitive segments of the industry — Bitcoin and Ethereum futures trading — Gate has once again delivered a performance that demands attention. Recent data clearly shows Gate ranking among the global top three in futures trading volume for both BTC and ETH. This is not just temporary noise. It reflects real, measurable strength in the global futures market.
Let us break this down properly, with numbers, context,

$ZRO is up more than 150% from the July low.
This month it poked above the downtrend line that's been capping it since early 2025, then came back to test it.
If that line holds as support, things can get interesting.

monero:native day trade went out to the subs Friday.
T1 hit. then T2 hit a few hours later 🎯
Stop moved to entry so the rest is a free trade.
Thats how we do ittttt 🕺

The most unusual detail in today’s market is $BTC : the price is trading near the upper Bollinger Band at 82220.9, while MA5 (82007.6) is only 17 points above the current price and nearly flat, and the range across 30 candles has compressed to 1.8%—the upper band is expanding while the short-term moving averages are converging, a typical end-stage low-volume contraction rather than a trend acceleration phase.
Breaking down the structure: MA5>MA20, so the bullish alignment remains intact; the MACD histogram at +49.21 remains positive, but the magnitude is modest, with momentum “supporting but n

$Q Explosive Breakout! What's Next?
$Q has surged from $0.025 to above $0.12, confirming a strong bullish breakout on the daily chart.
Price is now near $0.1105, with profit-taking emerging after the sharp rally.
Key Levels I'm Watching:
Support: $0.105 / $0.090
Resistance: $0.120–$0.125
Next Targets: $0.135 / $0.140
My View: Bullish momentum remains strong, but the rally looks extended. Holding $0.105 could support another upward move, while losing $0.090 risks a deeper correction.
I'm not chasing this pump. Waiting for a healthy retest and confirmation.

$BTC 2026 On October 18, 2026, global capital markets saw a tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Risks tied to AI data center debt continued to build, prompting markets to reassess the long-term return prospects of computing-power capital expenditure. CoreWeave’s credit spreads widened sharply, sparking concerns over the safety of AI infrastructure assets, while U.S. AI chip stocks came under pressure and traded unevenly. Earnings season for major tech companies kicks off this week, with industry leaders including Meta, Tesla, and Netflix set to report third-quarter results, making their earnin

#ShareWeekly #WarshIMFSpeech Warsh said nothing, and the market loved it: what Bangkok really told us about rates and BTC
Sometimes the loudest message from a central banker is the one he refuses to send. In Bangkok, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh sat down with IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva and gave traders no hint about the next rate move. The result was a relief bounce across dollars, stocks and crypto. Here is my read on the two questions everyone is asking.
Hawkish or dovish? Neither, and that is the story
Warsh stuck to price stability and refused to prejudge upcoming meetings. He also skipped fo

Monday has been the worst-performing day for $BTC this month.
Will this repeat, or will a pump happen?

$XMR - Update
Looking for shorts if we get the test at $645 as mapped out.

Someone asked me why I went all-in on CRCL. I missed out on Bitcoin earlier, so I could only look for a relatively safer project. I don’t want to be a dead fish anymore—it’s that simple. I originally planned to build positions in BTC, SOL, and CRCL. The first two have already risen, while CRCL is the only one still at a low level. I want to take a shot, and I can accept being stuck for a year.

$NEO I bought a lot of Neo, and it's generating good staking rewards in GAS. I'll start selling at $70 and GAS at $20.

I'm going to sleep. See you tomorrow. I still need medicine to believe in myself—I must believe in myself. I can definitely do it. I will succeed, and the sunshine will surely shine on me.#晒出我的持仓收益
