Over $870M liquidated in 24 hours
The crypto market saw massive liquidations over the past 24 hours, totaling more than $871 million. The majority of losses came from long positions.
The trigger was a series of statements by Donald Trump regarding Greenland and potential new trade tariffs against the European Union. The market reaction was delayed, with the sell-off accelerating after the opening of Japanese markets and US futures.
Bitcoin dropped below $91,900, Ethereum fell under $3,200, while altcoins suffered even heavier losses.

BREAKING: Markets just dumped after President Trump commented on the Fed and Kevin Hassett.
Trump said:
"Fed officials don’t talk much. Hassett is good at talking. He was good on TV, I want to keep him where he is."

Crypto Market Looks Strong — But Politics Still Matter
The crypto market is entering 2026 with a noticeably healthier structure. Bitcoin and Ethereum are holding key technical supports, institutional participation remains strong, and volatility has cooled compared to past cycle peaks. On the surface, conditions look constructive — even bullish.
However, markets don’t move in isolation. While crypto fundamentals are improving, macro and political risks remain a key variable, especially with renewed uncertainty around the Trump administration’s policy direction.
Strong Structure, Solid Foundatio

Bitcoin & Ethereum — Jan 16 Evening Market Update
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin maintained a sideways-to-uptrend this evening. Price briefly dipped to around 95,400 earlier in the session before rebounding strongly after U.S. CPI came in below expectations. BTC later pushed above 97,000 and is now consolidating near 96,500.
Intraday movement stayed within a ~1,600-point range, while trading volume rose ~25% compared to the same time yesterday — largely supported by continued Bitcoin ETF inflows. Market sentiment is improving, though traders remain cautious near resistance.

The more I read, observe, and learn…
the more Venezuela’s entire story is being laid bare for me.
We are being shown oil.
The headlines are about oil.
The analyses are about oil.
But my mind refuses to believe that this is only about oil.
The real game is happening somewhere else…
and that is gold.
Venezuela holds 161 metric tons of gold —
the largest reserve in Latin America.
Every time gold rises by just $100,
the country becomes hundreds of millions of dollars richer on paper.
But that’s only the gold locked inside vaults.

KDK/USDT — Post-Pump Cooling Phase
KDK is trading around $0.291, and the chart is doing exactly what post-pump charts usually do — cool down, not collapse.
After the sharp expansion toward $0.54, price has entered a distribution → compression phase. Momentum is gone for now, but sellers are also losing strength.
What the charts show:
1H: Lower highs, but selling pressure is slowing near $0.29 support
1D: Strong rejection from the top, now grinding sideways above the base
Volume: Fading → panic already flushed
MACD: Still weak, no bullish signal yet (patience needed)
Key levels to watch:

#TrumpLaunchesStrikesonVenezuela U.S. Strikes Venezuela: From Military Action to Custody Claims — What We Know So Far
1. The Initial Strikes
The situation escalated sharply after reports confirmed that the United States conducted military strikes inside Venezuela, targeting strategic assets. The operation marked one of the most dramatic U.S. interventions in Latin America in recent years and immediately drew global attention.
Shortly after the strikes, a statement attributed to former U.S. President Donald J. Trump circulated publicly, describing the operation as a success and signaling furthe

Bitcoin Returns to Its 12-Year Macro Trendline — A Key Signal for the Next Cycle
Bitcoin has once again returned to one of the most important levels in its entire history: the 12-year macro trendline. This is not a random line on a chart — it’s a long-term structural support that has guided Bitcoin through every major market cycle since its early days.
What makes this level so important is how rarely Bitcoin touches it.
A Look Back at Bitcoin’s Major Cycle Bottoms
Bitcoin has only touched this trendline four times in over a decade:
2013 – after the first major bull market
2015 – following a lo

Gold’s Historic Rally Continues — What’s Next in 2026
Gold has just capped one of its strongest years in history, trading at all-time highs above $4,500/oz and drawing global attention as a dominant safe-havens asset amid economic uncertainty.
📌 Current Price Reality
• Gold hit fresh record levels near $4,500+ per ounce by late 2025 — an exceptional run driven by risk aversion and demand from both investors and institutions.
• Local markets (e.g., Asia and Pakistan) have reflected this trend with 24K gold prices also reaching new highs, showing the global breadth of t

📈 Bitcoin Chart Analysis 📉
As I mentioned in my Dec 17th 2025 Analysis, Bitcoin Printed bottom on Dec 18th and started rallying slowly. While everyone was bearish, nobody looked at the bigger picture. Bitcoin always respects lagging indicators (Moving Averages) in daily. Look how it found support at MA100 weekly and  Btc is printing nice Weekly bullish engulfing candle.
Closing above 2025 yearly open (93.5k) will open doors for 100k. Anyways it's nice start of 2026. Let's hope Trump & it's stupid moves won't ruin it. Will be posting few altcoins setup Today.

KDK/USDT — Post-Pump Reality Check
KDK is currently trading around $0.295–0.296, and the chart structure tells a clear story across timeframes: this is no longer a momentum play, but a post-distribution consolidation phase.
🔍 Higher Timeframe (1D)
KDK saw an aggressive expansion from the $0.23 area to ~$0.54, followed by a sharp rejection.
Since then, price has been in steady decline, losing key moving averages.
Daily candles are compressing near $0.29–0.30, showing indecision but also exhaustion on the sell side.
Volume has dropped significantly compared to the pump phase → interest cooled,

❓ Why silver is suddenly causing panic
Silver has been in a structural deficit for 5 years.
2025 demand: ~1.24 bn oz
2025 supply: ~1.01 bn oz
The gap never closed.
From Jan 1, 2026, China tightens exports: licenses required, only state-approved firms, ~80t of annual output involved. Smaller exporters are effectively blocked.
Physical stocks are thinning.
COMEX inventories are down ~70% since 2020, London vaults ~40%, Shanghai near 10-year lows. Some regions reportedly hold only 30–45 days of industrial silver.
Paper claims still dwarf physical metal.

⏰ $2.2B BTC & ETH Options Expiry — What It Means
Around $2.2B worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options expire today, which often brings short-term volatility, not long-term direction.
🔹 Price may gravitate toward max pain levels
🔹 Increased volatility around expiry hours
🔹 Post-expiry moves are often cleaner and more directional
This is a liquidity event, not a trend change by default. Real direction usually shows after the noise clears.
Are you trading the volatility or waiting for post-expiry confirmation?
