Tax Policy Will Affect Latvia's International Competitiveness
Against the backdrop of rapid growth in digital finance in Europe, crypto asset tax policy has become an important factor shaping the investment environment. Through this reform, Latvia is seeking to strike a balance between tax compliance and investment convenience by introducing an investment account system and a one-time declaration mechanism for historical assets. This affects not only domestic investors but may also influence how crypto asset service providers assess the local market.
A more flexible tax approach can reduce the

#AltcoinReboundLosesMomentum
The altcoin rally has hit a wall, and the silence is louder than the hype.
After a brief period of euphoria where nearly every token with a ticker symbol seemed poised for double-digit gains, the momentum has abruptly stalled. The #AltcoinReboundLosesMomentum narrative is not just a temporary pause; it is a critical stress test for the broader cryptocurrency market. While Bitcoin hovers resiliently near $82,000, the altcoin sector is struggling to sustain its upward trajectory. This divergence reveals a fundamental truth about the current market cycle: liquidity i

Hello, everyone! We made money on both longs and shorts! 🤝Did you catch the trades from my last post? What a shame with BTC—it missed filling by just 200 points if you had a limit order! If you took all the ETH trades, two were stopped out (there was a rebound in between, so you could have exited!). The 2336 bottom entry is now up over 100 points, so those who followed should have made a nice profit! Even if you weren't watching the chart and got stopped out on two trades, we've made back over 100 points this time. The overall direction was right, so be bold about buying the dip and going lon

Both #Bitcoin and #Ethereum are at Fibonacci levels where you can consider both corrections complete.
Market psychology wise I don't think we're in a place where I can call this a wave 2 complete.
During wave 2's the market typically undergo extreme pessimism. And nothing in my feed or market sentiment indicates this to me.
So while the bullish continuation argument can become validated very quickly - within this week - what this wave feels like... it doesn't feel done.
If not lower than consolidated sideways is best case.
That's it for me tonight as I fit in a tweet after unpacking

【October 19 Market Update | BTC Rebounds to Test Mid-Term Moving Averages】
BTC is around $82,530. On the 4-hour chart, it has reclaimed EMA5/10, the MACD histogram has turned positive, and RSI is around 55, indicating improved short-term rebound momentum. However, price is still contending around EMA30 (approximately $82,520) and EMA120 (approximately $82,703), so a trend reversal is not yet confirmed.
Watch $82,700–$83,000 as resistance; a sustained move above this range would put $83,400 in focus. Support is at $81,800–$81,500; if that gives way, watch $80,985 and the previous low of $79,732

Why Wall Street Prefers Cash Over Bitcoin: Michael Saylor Explains
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, acknowledged that relying solely on Bitcoin as collateral is not enough to keep Strategy's preferred stock (STRC) trading near its $100 target.
STRC is Strategy's perpetual preferred stock, offering a 12% annual dividend and designed to trade around par value of $100.
