Bitcoin's 'Old Generation' Sparks Frenzy as 13-Year-Old Wallets Move Millions
Two Bitcoin addresses created in 2013 woke up from a long sleep on Saturday, October 17, 2026, moving a combined $34 million worth of BTC in just five seconds. Both transactions appeared at block height 971894.
After a series of dormant BTC movements in August following the Coldcard breach and another busy stretch in September, October brought a notable slowdown. On Saturday, at block 971894, two separate wallets dormant since 2013 stirred for the first time, transferring a total of 416.69 BTC for the first time sinc

My higher-timeframe outlook remains unchanged. Market structure is still bullish, but I do have some concerns regarding short-term price action.
Although we are currently holding the range lows and value area, I’m not liking the H4 acceptance below the 200 MA. The amount of time we’re spending around these lows without any meaningful buying pressure is also a concern. We need to see stronger momentum develop if price is going to rotate back towards the range highs.
There is significant market inefficiency below the range lows, which could see price bleed back towards the mid-$70Ks to fill

Looking at the XRP/USDT 15m chart right now: we just saw a sharp sell-off into 1.2884, followed by an aggressive reclaim that took price from the lows all the way up to 1.3041 before some profit-taking kicked in.
Current price is hovering at 1.2978, right in the middle of the moving average cluster — MA7 at 1.2997, MA25 at 1.2961, and MA99 at 1.2973. That’s a tight zone. The volume profile shows clear buying interest on the bounce, but the latest candles are smaller and mixed, suggesting the market is deciding whether this was a genuine reversal or just a liquidity sweep.

Once the diesel card is played, the political calculations ahead of the midterms are loud enough to hear across the Pacific. Diesel prices in the U.S. directly affect transportation, agriculture, and retail costs. In 2022, retail diesel prices briefly topped $5 per gallon, while diesel crack spreads also surged above $60 per barrel. When oil prices and inflation rise, voters get angry. So a move that seems jarring, like easing sanctions on Russia and importing diesel to bring prices down, is really about the fact that votes matter more than principles: midterm elections come down to a handful

⛏️ US$10 billion at risk and US$27 billion in claims: The closure of Cobre Panamá leaves the region with a lesson in regulatory risk.
🧵 Thread 👇
1/ Cobre Panamá was one of the largest copper mines on the continent. Its closure wasn’t an operational accident: it was a political and judicial decision that changed the rules overnight, with billions in investment caught in the middle.
2/ The lesson isn’t about mining; it’s about regulatory risk: when the legal framework can be reversed by decree, court ruling, or political pressure, capital prices in that risk… or leaves. The US$27 billion in cl

The most unusual detail in today’s market is not the gainers list itself, but the funding rate: $AVA is up 20.55% over 24 hours, yet its funding rate is -0.0036%. The price is rallying while shorts are still paying, suggesting this move is driven by spot buying or short covering rather than crowded leveraged longs. Compared with other active tokens over the same period, $XRP is down just 0.62%, with a 3.27% range; $INJ is down 3.01%, with MA5 falling below MA20; $AVA has a 30-candle range of 35.54%, making it the clear leader in volatility and market attention within the sector, with notab

Bitcoin ETFs have recorded net outflows for the second consecutive week. Net flows over the past 30 days remain positive at +15.4K BTC, but inflows are shrinking, pointing to weakening demand.
That said, weekly net outflows have eased to 2.8K BTC.

Overall Bias
Short-term bearish / weak.
Price is trading below MA5/MA10/MA30 on all three timeframes (4H, 1H, 15M). A clear descending trendline is respected on the 4H. The big volume dump to 0.1013 on 4H has not been fully recovered, and the subsequent bounce is losing momentum.

Waiting for October to pass and see what happens after the midterms, because we should eventually have larger exit liquidity before December arrives, so a red or neutral close in October would be the best thing that could happen right now to set up a move higher in November into mid December, mostly because it would reset this numb sentiment which is still divided between bears and bulls without a clear victory call from either side.
Based on the calendar returns, both structurally and time wise, we are in a very similar environment to early to mid 2019 when the rally ended in June, yet this t

$BTC WATCH
Kalshi traders are positioning for a possible drop toward $78K this October.
The level is worth watching, but prediction is not confirmation. BTC needs to lose key support for $78K to become a stronger downside target.
I’m watching the breakdown and volume before taking a side.

🏦 Delcy Rodríguez ruled out dollarizing the economy and defended the bolívar’s monetary sovereignty. For those moving USDT through P2P, the real question isn’t whether there will be formal dollarization, but how much weight the parallel market will carry at next week’s exchange counter.
The statement, made at Fedecámaras’ Annual Assembly, confirms one thing: the dollar will not be formally recognized as legal tender in the short term. In practical terms, the gap between the BCV’s official exchange rate and parallel market rates will continue to be where prices, wages, and savings are determin
