The major venues just force closed $6.2M of leveraged bets on a higher Ether price, all inside 30 minutes. Bets on a drop saw only $6.4K closed out, so the pain landed on $ETH buyers using borrowed money.

We are now waiting for the correction to end before a major upward wave, God willing
It may continue falling for now in wave A, then rise in B, after which it will fall to the shaded area and rise
Or it may settle for these areas
Confirmation: a breakout of the last peak

🛢️ 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,

BNB — ~$716, up about 0.9% in the last 24h, holding steady after slipping around 6% this week from the $770 area.
The pullback tracked a broad market cooling after a strong stretch, though BNB again held up better than most large tokens and buyers stepped in near the $708.64 swing low.
To watch: the 37th quarterly BNB burn is due any day — the last one erased 1.62m BNB (~$932m) — and whether BNB can reclaim the 50-day average near $734 or breaks below the $708.64 floor. ‌

$BTC Nothing much happening on the charts for now.
Ideally, we wanna see a reclaim of the Wave B / Kijun-Sen region for continuation towards the upside.
If we're unable to do so, then a sweep of the current lows is likely next, with the 76k region coming into play.
The structure is messy on the LTF at the moment, so the best approach here is to play level to level.
There's also a falling wedge being formed, and a bullish breakout would confirm the bottom.
The reason being that we have a lot of liquidity sitting in the middle of the range around 84.3k-85.5k, which could fuel the pump high

Someone bought 248.8 Bitcoin in 2013 for $88,000.

This is exactly why I’m so invested in $BNB
Since October 2 👇🏻
Its holder count has grown from 374.5 million to 376.5 million in just over two weeks
Two million additional holders in such a short time
For me, it’s not just about price movements.
It’s about watching an ecosystem continue to attract people at this scale
That kind of growth is hard not to be excited about @cz_ 🙊

Happy Sunday Fam ❤️
Stay locked in and focus 🧘🏽

#WCTCS9 #每周来晒 Gold posted a recovery move this week, falling first and then rising. At the start of the week, it was hit by bearish CPI data, with prices plunging to a swing low of 4073, a recent low. Oversold buyers then entered the market in succession to provide support, driving gold to rebound in choppy trading. It is currently trading around 4163, with overall sideways consolidation in a low range.
After CPI came in above expectations, market expectations for a Fed rate cut in October cooled sharply, with bets even beginning to shift toward a further delay in the timing of rate cuts. Aft
