Vietnam bans P2P crypto trading and self-custody wallets
Russia has banned direct peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency trading and retail transfers to self-custody wallets. The Central Bank of Russia announced the update to its comprehensive crypto regulations, which were signed into law by President Vladimir Putin in August.
Following the ban, crypto traders now have a grace period until July 1, 2027. After that date, the central bank will completely prohibit P2P trading, replacing it with transactions conducted only through state-licensed intermediaries.

China’s GDP is back to 4.5%. Is the economy bouncing back? Don’t celebrate just yet.
My take: The production side is holding things up, but domestic demand is the real test.
1️⃣ Manufacturing is strong: High-tech manufacturing grew 14.3% in the first three quarters, while exports and factories remain important sources of support.
2️⃣ Consumption hasn’t caught up: Retail sales grew just 1.1% in September, and real estate development investment fell 20.6% in the first three quarters. That’s what’s worth worrying about.
3️⃣ What should we watch next? Whether consumption picks up and the real esta

$ETH Let's take another look at Ether's daily chart 🤔
Could it possibly form a right shoulder?
A quick discussion
ETH's daily chart structure is in a bottoming consolidation phase following a pullback from the highs. Price is below the EMA50, and the rebound is a corrective move that has yet to reverse the daily trend. Its movement is correlated with BTC.
Key levels
Strong daily support: 2345; secondary support: 2380
First daily resistance: 2480; strong resistance: 2566
Market logic:
The daily chart has yet to establish an uptrend, and each rebound is prone to facing resistance and pulling b

Don’t Be Fooled by Good News! Whales Just Wiped Out Longs With $13.5 Million—SOL Is About to Turn!
“Don’t get carried away by good news—the whales’ scythes are only out to cut down the herd!”
SOL rode the good news of treasury accumulation to around 105, but there was basically no volume underneath—it was just a fake-out. Look at the money flows: over $4 million left in half an hour! And although over $13 million was liquidated in the past 24 hours, $7.4 million of it was all long positions! Whales are massively more short than long right now. What does that tell you? The whales never planned

AVAX at $9.6—are you still holding?
Dubai courts have put rulings on-chain, Charles Schwab plans to open trading by year-end, and the Helicon upgrade is live—one bullish catalyst after another, yet AVAX is stuck at 9.6, playing dead. Is the market blind, or are you fooling yourself?
First, the surface picture: bullish news is everywhere, but the price isn't moving.
It's been grinding between 9.55 and 9.9 over the past 24 hours, with a range of less than 4%. The price is above the MA50 (9.5), but firmly capped by the MA20 (10.2-10.5). RSI is 45, neutral to weak. The daily chart is consolidating
