A trap is being set at $INJ 🩸
Check out my plan on the chart. The masses will now see green candlesticks and will start believing in the uptrend again. But this is just sheer vitality. I'm waiting for a local price bounce upwards. That's where my zone of interest lies.
As soon as the price hits that level, I'll open a strong short. They'll give false hopes, and then the market will tank. We'll pocket the profits with their stops.
The setup is ready. Let's go in 🚀
The price perfectly tested the support zone. I'm expecting a strong upward impulse following the trajectory.

HYPE operates where Wall Street hasn’t yet arrived
Wall Street wrapped up the week eyeing two doors. One says Iran. The other says Fed. In between, the market is trying to convince itself that the relief can last. Crypto, as usual, doesn’t wait for the Monday bell to ring. While U.S. indices cautiously bounced back and oil dipped due to hopes of a deal between the U.S. and Iran, the crypto market left a finer signal: there was no widespread euphoria. It was all about selection. Bitcoin held the floor. Ethereum lagged behind. Solana showed better relative strength. Several big altcoins remained lukewarm.

Are We Moving Towards a New Energy Architecture?
The Weight of Europe in Thawing Relations with Iran The potential lifting of sanctions on Iran by the UK, France, Germany, and Italy after a peace deal with the United States would represent a game-changing shift in global geopolitics.
This move is driven by a strategic need for energy diversification in Western Europe. For the European bloc, formally reintegrating Tehran into the trade circuits would mean stabilizing hydrocarbon supply, offering a viable alternative against the volatility of traditional corridors.
However, this scenario raises questions about the cohesion of emerging blocs. Iran has solidified a key alliance within the Eurasian axis and the BRICS bloc, coordinating de-dollarization policies and alternative routes with Moscow and Beijing.
A structural approach towards the West will force Persian diplomacy to balance its prior commitments with the benefits of financial relief and market openings.
In conclusion, an agreement that lifts the punitive blockade would reconfigure power balances.
The West would gain an energy breather and a reduction in tensions in the Middle East, but Tehran will face the challenge of managing a complex neutrality between its strategic partners in the East and its clients in the West.

The International Monetary Fund does an annual review of fiscal accounts
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) does an annual review of the fiscal and macroeconomic accounts of all member countries. However, in Venezuela, the Fund hasn't conducted this review since 2017 because Caracas cut ties with the organization. Economist José Manuel Puente, PhD in Political Economy, referred to the shift in Venezuela now that contact with the IMF has been resumed. He asserts that this makes it necessary to review the nation's accounts, clarifying that the Fund hasn't reviewed any Venezuelan data for several years. Therefore, they have to start from scratch and gather all that information, which could take up to 14 months to compile.
Schlumberger is back in the game. Progress / The industry is picking up steam in key sectors like gas. Targets are being met after agreements with global companies are finalized. Venezuela is reporting a significant uptick in its oil production, hitting 1,179,000 barrels per day in May, marking a 3.78% increase from April. This growth is attributed to a new political landscape led by President Delcy Rodríguez, who has pushed for strategic changes in the Hydrocarbons Law.
