#CelebratingNewYearOnGateSquare
Gate Square is like a late-night eatery on a quiet street—neon lights flickering, hot coffee, three special menus written on tonight’s chalkboard.
The first special is quick and simple. You slide a note across the table: a quick opinion about the market vibe, an eye-catching chart photo, or “this is why I’m still here.” Regular customers nod, like, reply → the red packet immediately goes into your tip jar. Newcomers usually get one on their first order. A good note can earn around 28 GT at once. Quick bites, instant satisfaction.
The second special is a mystery

Since yesterday noon, the US-Iran conflict has escalated completely. Iran directly issued a stern warning: anyone daring to pass through the Strait of Hormuz will be destroyed, and not a drop of oil will flow out. As soon as the words were spoken, international oil prices fluctuated sharply, with Brent crude quickly reaching $85. The US also responded, warning that the heaviest blow has yet to come. Both sides are now engaging in a game of chicken—whoever backs down first will suffer losses. If they go all out, the global economy will suffer.
The core issue is the Strait of Hormuz. It is the o

NEW: JP Morgan’s $2.8 billion CEO, Jamie Dimon, says crypto exchanges offering yield isn’t fair.
“We want competition, we’re one of the biggest users of blockchain — we’re in favor of competition but it’s got to be a fair and level playing field, it can’t be completely skewed.”

Today the market is more boring - insufficient decline, recovery to previous positions, then stuck in a narrow range altogether.

Has the Bitcoin bottom formed or is it just the calm before the big wave?
Has the Bitcoin bottom formed or is it just the calm before the big wave?
The market at this moment makes me choose caution rather than optimism.
After several adjustment phases, selling pressure seems to be diminishing. The range of fluctuations is narrowing.
The important support zones have been tested multiple times but have not been decisively broken. These are accumulation signals – not confirmations, but also cannot be overlooked.
However, I do not believe that a bottom is established just by a few green candles. B

🐋 WHALE WATCH:DeepSeek V4 Launch Looms Over "Two Sessions"
The Chinese AI powerhouse DeepSeek is reportedly set to release its V4 model today, timed with the opening of China's "Two Sessions" political meetings.
=> Capabilities: V4 is expected to be a fully multimodal model (text, image, and video) that continues DeepSeek's trend of extreme efficiency.
=> Geopolitical Twist: Reports indicate DeepSeek optimized the model using local chips from Huawei and Cambricon, pointedly bypassing U.S. chipmakers like NVIDIA. This is being viewed as a major "Sputnik moment" for China’s domestic AI ecosyste

On February 28, 2026, a joint operation between the US and Israel killed Iran's top leader, Khamenei, and the global stock markets immediately experienced turbulence. This is not the first time markets have faced such shocks, and it won't be the last. Forty years of Middle East conflict history reveal a very consistent pattern: the form of war changes, but market reactions never do. Understanding this pattern is a prerequisite for protecting and increasing capital value in the current environment.

Hippo Morning Report day289, recently I've been overly sentimental, always wanting to help others. Who am I kidding? I haven't even figured out my own life. Time for self-reflection!
Both the US and Iran are tough-talking, and the chances of negotiations are very low. Why is Trump willing to take the blame and make the US look like Israel’s US, risking everything to help Israel become a Middle Eastern hegemony?
Bitcoin — continues to fluctuate, with $70,000 seeming so close yet so far. One thing to note: US government-related addresses are repeatedly testing small transfers. I don’t know what

3.4 Bitcoin Morning Analysis
Bitcoin rebounded to 68,972.9 yesterday but faced resistance and pulled back. Although there was a slight short-term recovery, the moving averages have formed a death cross, with MA7 and MA30 continuing to diverge downward. The price encountered resistance near the moving averages, indicating that bullish momentum is clearly lacking.
In terms of volume structure, the volume did not significantly increase during the rebound. The candlesticks repeatedly surged and fell back, with dense upper shadows. The 68,500-68,900 zone faces heavy selling pressure, and the 68,972

#CelebratingNewYearOnGateSquare The Red Packet Doesn't Go to the Luckiest. It Goes to the Most Present.
There's a version of luck that has nothing to do with chance.
It's the luck of the person who posted every day when others were silent. Who engaged with the community when the timeline felt quiet. Who built a presence here steadily, without waiting for a special occasion or a market pump to motivate them.
That kind of luck isn't random. It's manufactured — post by post, interaction by interaction, active day by active day.
Gate Square's New Year Red Packet Giveaway is live right now, and $50

3.4 Major Bitcoin Auntie Morning Thoughts
The current market situation is actually not complicated at all — bears are the main theme.
There are rebounds, but each rally seems lacking in confidence, unable to push higher, with volume unable to keep up, and the rhythm clearly weak. Essentially, it's a slow decline within a sideways movement, a gradual downward trend under a weak structure, not a bullish takeover. So there's no need to change the strategy, nor should there be. Rebounds are just opportunities for bears to get on board.
Personal suggestions:
Bitcoin: Enter short at 68,800-69,500, t

Market Analysis:
Yesterday’s “oil up, crypto up, gold down” — under the threat of “energy war,” the disruption of the Strait of Hormuz triggered a surge in crude oil prices. The crypto market received capital inflows under the narrative of “digital energy,” while gold experienced a sharp decline due to the dual pressure of the US dollar, interest rates, and profit-taking.
Macro News:
1. Middle East conflicts have driven up energy prices, potentially intensifying inflationary pressures and reinforcing market expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain high interest rates for a longer pe
