Recently, I came across news that major financial institutions affiliated with Morgan are showing a bullish outlook on the cryptocurrency market, backed by an acceleration of institutional investor capital inflows. I think this is a quite interesting development.
The fact that mega-banks like Morgan are paying attention to the inflow of institutional money suggests that the market structure has undergone significant changes. Not only individual investors but also serious institutional investors such as fund managers and pension funds are starting to enter this market in earnest.
In recent year

When looking at Bitcoin indicators, I feel a bit of a disconnect. Even though there's talk of maintaining a bullish $70k, the actual movements are often going against that. In this situation, it's hard to tell whether we're truly in an upward phase or if we're entering a correction phase.
Looking at media reports, there are various perspectives, but personally, I think it's important to carefully assess this current phase. The fact that indicators and price movements are not aligned suggests that the market might still be uncertain about whether to move to the next step. It might be safer to w

Recently, U.S. Democratic lawmakers seem to be turning their attention to regulating trading activities of government officials in war-related prediction markets. Such legislative developments could also impact the overall cryptocurrency market.
Prediction markets themselves aim to improve transparency and information efficiency, but transactions using inside information by government officials are clearly problematic. Lawmakers recognizing the need for such legislation is an important step in safeguarding market integrity.
By the way, CoinDesk, which reports on these kinds of news, is a media

I've recently realized that a major change is about to happen in the cryptocurrency market. As CME fully implements 24/7 Bitcoin trading, the traditional weekend selling pressure could significantly decrease.
Until now, Bitcoin has tended to be sold off over the weekends. The reason is simple: institutional investors mainly trade during weekday hours. Between Friday's close and Monday's opening, pressure was exerted by individual traders and some sellers.
But once CME fully adopts 24-hour trading, this dynamic will change. If institutional investors can trade on weekends as well, it could stab

No one talks about altcoins anymore. In fact, this might be a bullish sign.
Looking at Santiment’s data, mentions of “Alt Season” on social media have fallen to nearly the lowest levels. Isn’t this the quietest it’s been in the past two years? This is actually quite interesting.
The reason is that this term is almost a gauge of retail investors’ desires and speculative sentiment. When everyone is shouting that “Alt Season is here,” it’s usually near the market peak. Conversely, when people stop talking about it, it often means large holders are quietly adding to their positions.
The current si

Bitcoin continues to test the vicinity of $75,000. Looking at last week's price movements, major cryptocurrencies all recorded gains of over 5%, creating a broad market trend since the Iran situation. However, the breakdown is surprisingly simple.
Bitcoin, which temporarily rose to $75,912 early Tuesday morning, quickly retreated back to the $74,000 range. Market sentiment suggests that this short-term surge was driven by derivative position adjustments, not new spot demand. The settlement of large put positions around $60k triggered spot buying by makers. Ultimately, with a move below the $74

When you look at Bitcoin’s price movements, it’s clear that the market bottom in the second half of 2022 is reflected very distinctly. According to K33’s analysis, the current chart also makes it possible to read just how serious the bearish market during that period was.
Thinking about it, it wasn’t “bear with me,” but rather that the entire market was experiencing the bottom of the bear market in that period. The series of disruptions that began with the collapse of FTX had a major impact on Bitcoin’s price formation. K33 is focusing on that.
In short, the bottom value formed in the second h

Japanese internet meme “114514” becomes cryptocurrency—Beast Senpai’s phonetic pun coin surges on exchanges
Japan-origin internet meme “114514” has finally gone crypto. Since the meme coin “$114514” issued on the Solana blockchain began trading, it has been all the buzz in the community. It has shown an astonishing rise right after listing, recording a sudden surge of over 1,000%. As of the time of writing, the price has reached 0.011056 USDT.
The origin of the number “114514” comes from a phonetic pun that replaces Beast Senpai’s line “いいよ！来いよ！” from the Japanese adult video “真夏の夜の淫夢.” It’s a

Looking at the market over the past few months, precious metals have hit record highs, and now crude oil is entering an upward phase. I think this is quite a tough situation for Bitcoin investors.
The latest movements in crude oil prices are quite interesting. WTI crude oil has risen 12% this month, reaching $64.30 per barrel. Brent crude is also trading at $68.22. These are levels not seen since September. What this indicates is a high likelihood that inflationary pressures are intensifying.
When crude oil prices go up, not only do gasoline prices increase, but transportation costs for food d

Recent Bitcoin market developments have sparked interesting analysis. According to analysts, the timing of reaching the bottom varies significantly depending on the currency denomination.
When viewed in USD, a decline until the end of 2026 is predicted, but the story changes when evaluated in gold. Ronnie Szuter, research director at a major Brazilian exchange, analyzes that if we use the gold-denominated Bitcoin price as an indicator, the market bottom could occur as early as next month. Bitcoin hit its all-time high against gold in January 2025, and applying the same 12-13 month cycle sugges

Eric Trump is once again talking up a bullish outlook for Bitcoin, and he’s apparently arguing that $1 million is only the beginning of things. Honestly, I’m half-skeptical about these kinds of big-wig predictions, but it’s definitely true that market expectations are rising more and more.
Institutional investors targeting trades on the scale of 1 million BTC are also getting more active, and Bitcoin’s recognition is nothing like what it used to be. That said, whether these extremely bullish predictions will actually come true probably depends on the regulatory environment and the level of ado

XRP is continuing to move slightly around $1.34, but what’s noteworthy is that a breakout has not yet occurred. Trading volume is 23% higher than the weekly average, yet the price remains within the range, which suggests that traders are building positions but haven't committed to serious buying yet.
From a technical perspective, XRP is forming a narrow trading range between support around $1.30 and resistance around $1.34–1.35. Considering what a breakout means here, breaking either level will determine the next major move. Although there are signs of higher lows, the price is being held back

Did you notice that Bitcoin's funding rate has plummeted to its lowest level in three months? This is quite an interesting development.
Usually, when the funding rate drops, it suggests that there may be an increase in short positions. But conversely, it also opens up the possibility of a short squeeze from here. Watching the movement of the funding rate, I have a feeling that some kind of market move or trap might be coming.
Considering recent volatility, I think this sharp decline in the funding rate is an important signal that can't be ignored. The short-term price movements are at a stage

I'm concerned about the recent sharp drop in Bitcoin. On the surface, it might look like just a price correction, but I feel that there are looming AI-related risk factors hidden behind it.
Looking at Arthur Hayes' latest market analysis, he makes some interesting points. Although there is short-term downward pressure, if the Federal Reserve moves toward large-scale monetary easing, Bitcoin could potentially hit new all-time highs. The macroeconomic environment and trends in the technology sector are likely to significantly influence the future market.
As market observers like Arthur Hayes poi

Terms that inevitably come up when trading cryptocurrencies include ATH. Short for All Time High, which basically refers to the highest price point in history, and this concept is quite important in the trading world.
Simply put, ATH is the highest price an asset has ever reached in its history. This applies to cryptocurrencies like BTC or any other asset. For example, the current ATH for BTC is around $126,000. Reaching this number means that the market participants collectively judged “this price is worth buying.”
Reaching an ATH is an interesting phase. Usually, buying low and selling high

There is essential tax knowledge that every cryptocurrency investor living in Singapore must know.
According to the latest guidelines from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS), cryptocurrencies are not just digital assets but are legally classified as property. This is important because this classification affects your entire tax reporting process.
In reality, the tax burden on cryptocurrency trading in Singapore varies greatly depending on your trading style. If you engage in frequent short-term trading, it is considered a commercial activity and subject to corporate tax or person

Choosing which cryptocurrency to mine is actually more complicated than you might think. The type of equipment, the hashing algorithm, electricity costs, and network difficulty—all of these directly impact profitability.
Looking at the current market, Bitcoin mining requires ASIC devices, and the difficulty has reached record highs. On the other hand, cryptocurrencies like Ethereum Classic and Kaspa can be mined with GPUs, making them more practical for individual miners.
Currently, Bitcoin is around $68.5k, Ethereum Classic is at $8.22, Kaspa is about $0.03, Monero is at $331, and Ravencoin i

I recently realized that understanding what a pullback is can significantly influence the success or failure of your trades. Many traders are obsessed with chasing breakouts, but in fact, the most optimal entry points often occur during the timing of a pullback.
Simply put, a pullback is a temporary price correction within an uptrend or downtrend. It’s easier to understand if you think of the market as “breathing” before the main trend continues. Being able to accurately identify this correction phase separates smart traders from mere followers.
On actual charts, pullbacks during an uptrend ap

Recently, I was reminded to reconsider the structure of the American economy. It’s really fascinating to understand how the world’s zaibatsu are formed and how they dominate the modern economy—what their system is really like.
In the case of the United States, after World War II, 10 major financial groups emerged, and they have effectively taken control of the national economy ever since. For example, the Rockefeller Financial Group was built on an oil monopoly, laid out a financial network centered around Chase Manhattan Bank, and expanded its influence across various industries. You can prob

Here's a step-by-step guide for creating a meme coin, organized for those who are actually going to do the work.
First, before launching your meme coin, it’s important to clarify why you want to create it. Are you aiming purely for fun, building a community, or just making a joke? This purpose will influence the theme selection of your coin. Typical meme coins often feature themes like dogs, similar to Dogecoin, or incorporate humorous elements.
Next is choosing the blockchain. Ethereum is the most common with the ERC-20 standard, but it has high gas fees. Binance Smart Chain (BSC) uses the BE
