🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 FED CHAIR POWELL IS STILL SCHEDULED TO GIVE A "BIG" SPEECH DESPITE SHUTDOWN TOMORROW

Markets don’t fear the speech, they fear the signal behind it.

Powell speaking during a shutdown means messaging matters more than policy.

Will he calm markets or test their conviction again?

EXPECT HIGH VOLATILITY!

Someone launched a coin and spent seven hours buying it from… themselves. Waited for others to join, nobody did, then rage-sold it all.

I wonder what that was. A tragic little DeFi drama, or a noble act saving the world from one more shitcoin?

TOM LEE: $200,000 BITCOIN ISN'T CRAZY.

"Historically, those big parabolic moves in crypto follow parabolic moves in precious metals."

...and we've all seen the Gold & Silver charts. 👀 📈

But Everyone missing this.

Gold and silver aren’t leading indicators, they’re lagging confirmation signals.

When metals move first, BTC doesn’t follow, it front-runs the next liquidity phase. The setup is identical to late 2020, and the pattern’s complete.

Called Trump tariff cycle 5/5. Called the $87K bottom.

Now calling BTC $98K by Feb 7.

The clock is ticking.

Capital One has decided to acquire Brex for $5.15 billion!

Capital One plans to acquire the stablecoin fintech company Brex in a $5.15 billion cash-and-stock deal.

Speculation suggests this move could pave the way for the direct integration of USDC payments within one of the largest US banks,
potentially marking a significant shift in USDC adoption across traditional banking services.

A clear intersection between major banks and stablecoins… and the financial transformation is accelerating from within 🏦🚀

International stocks are seeing massive inflows:

Total developed market equity funds have attracted +$50 billion in net inflows year-to-date.

International stocks captured +78% of the total, at +$39 billion.

Investors also invested +$5 billion and +$2 billion into European and Japanese equities, respectively.

By comparison, the US has posted just +$771 million in inflows.

In other words, international stocks attracted 50 times more inflows than US stocks so far in 2026.

Demand for international stocks is surging

🚨 GOLD JUST FLIPPED THE DOLLAR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 30 YEARS.

It finally happened.

Just look at this image.

The data is in, and it is TERRIFYING.

Especially if you live in the USA.

For the first time in 3 decades, central banks hold more gold than U.S. debt.

Every nation is losing trust in the US dollar.

Foreign countries do not care about earning interest anymore, they are terrified of losing their principal.

You cannot blame them though.

US Treasuries can be seized.
They can be inflated away.

While gold has zero counterparty risk.
It is the only true neutral asset.

Here is the part people miss.

Sanctions changed everything.
Reserves became a weapon.
That one statement explains a lot.

If you own a promise, it can get frozen.
If you own gold, you own it.

BUT IT GETS WORSE.

U.S. debt is rising by $1 Trillion every 100 days.
Interest payments are passing $1 Trillion per year.

The Fed has to print.
The world sees the debasement coming, and they are getting out now.

YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE RESERVES.

China, Russia, India, Poland, Singapore, everyone is dumping paper for hard assets.

And do not forget about the BRICS alliance.
This is not just about trade deals.

THE GOAL IS DE DOLLARIZATION.

Create independent payment rails to bypass SWIFT, settle energy in local currencies, and back it all with commodities that cannot be printed out of thin air, like gold and silver.

When 40%+ of the global population decides they do not need the dollar, demand is GONE.

The era of TINA is over.
Gold is the alternative.

Is this the fall of the U.S. dollar? - YES, ABSOLUTELY.

You think silver at $100 and gold at $5,000 is crazy

Then you are not prepared for what is coming.

📉 Both ZRO and PLUME are under pressure from ongoing insider releases.

ZRO and PLUME continue their early investor release schedules, with no clear price stabilization yet.

📊 TGE Performance:
• ZRO: Down 50.9%
• PLUME: Down 88.5%

Overall:

• Continued insider selling is putting downward pressure on the price

• Weak demand in the secondary market
• A recurring pattern of high-value releases
• Most of the value was captured before TGE through private investments
When valuation precedes actual adoption…
The market often reprics harshly.

BITCOIN IS ABOUT TO PROVE MOST PEOPLE WRONG... AGAIN.

Everything lines up:
– Clean double bottom
– Major resistance broken
– Perfect retest happening now

This isn’t a guess.
This is market structure doing what it always does before acceleration.

Disbelief comes first.
Confirmation comes second.
Parabolic price action comes last.

If you’re waiting for comfort, you’ll miss it.
The setup is already in place.

Next phase isn’t slow.

🔥 Arthur Hayes: This is very bullish for Bitcoin.

Arthur Hayes said that the news about the Federal Reserve printing dollars to buy yen means injecting new liquidity—a scenario that has historically been favorable for Bitcoin 📈

🇯🇵🇺🇸 Speculation mounts
• Potential Japanese intervention in currency markets
• Possible US support for this intervention
• Yen jumps 1.75% to 155.63 against the dollar—its strongest level this year

This comes after the Federal Reserve Bank of New York contacted banks regarding the yen market situation.

The takeaway:
When global liquidity starts moving…
Bitcoin is often the first to benefit 👀🚀

🚨 GOLD WILL CRASH THE GLOBAL MARKET NEXT WEEK!!

Gold just surged 85% in the past 12 months.

That feels bullish.
It feels permanent.
It feels different this time.

But most people don't realize the danger.

When gold goes parabolic, it eventually pays a price.

This isn’t opinion.
It’s simple math and pattern recognition.

1⃣ 1980: THE CLASSIC BLOW-OFF

Gold went full parabolic, topping near $850/oz.

Sentiment was euphoric.
Inflation panic was everywhere.
Gold felt unstoppable.

Then reality hit.
What followed:
→ A 40%-60% dump
→ Lasted several years
→ Liquidated late buyers

Blow-off tops don’t fade gently.
They reset violently.

2⃣ 2011: “ONCE IN A GENERATION”… UNTIL IT WASN’T

Gold peaked near $1,920/oz after a long, powerful multi-year run.

Narrative dominance was absolute:
→ Money printing
→ Debt crises
→ Currency collapse fears

And yet from 2011 to 2015:
→ Gold fell roughly 43%
→ Years of dead money
→ Sentiment flipped from euphoria to depression

No rally is safe from a crash.

3⃣ 2020: CORRECTION BY TIME, NOT JUST PRICE

Gold topped around $2,075/oz.

This time the decline looked “milder”:
→ Roughly 20%-25% down into 2022

But the real damage came elsewhere:
→ Long consolidation
→ No momentum
→ Opportunity cost piled up

Not every correction is a crash.
Some are slow, grinding, and exhausting.

THE REPEATING TAKEAWAY:

Across decades, the pattern is clear:

After 60%-85% rallies, gold typically:
→ Corrects 20%-40% on average
→ Moves sideways for years
→ Spends time digesting gains

The more emotional and vertical the rally:
→ The deeper the reset tends to be

This is how the market resets.

THE BIG MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT GOLD

Gold is a long-term wealth protector.
It is not a straight-line asset.

Parabolic phases:
→ Feel permanent
→ Create certainty
→ Invite leverage and FOMO

And then they end.

Understanding past corrections doesn’t make you bearish.
It makes you realistic.

Because when rallies feel unstoppable…
That’s usually when expectations need adjusting the most.

After hitting resistance at the upper range of 3.4k-3.6k, ETH closed below the bullish level of 3.07k. Above this level, ETH was holding well for bullish momentum but since it broke, it's now acting as a strong bearish level. As long as ETH stays below this level, we are expecting ETH to move towards the lower range area of 2.6k-2.7k. This bias may shift if it closes above the level on the daily timeframe.

The chart tells the story perfectly. This cycle has been defined by institutional absorption rather than retail speculation.

The launch of spot ETFs in early 2024 created a persistent bid for Bitcoin that altcoins simply couldn't match. We moved from a 40% dominance to nearly 60% over the last three years. While previous cycles relied on BTC profits rotating into alts, this time the money stayed in the regulated BTC wrapper.

With BTC at $89,515, the gap is wider than ever. ETH at $2,958 and SOL at $127 show how much the rest of the market has lagged. Capital is being treated as a store of value first and a tech bet second.

The grey area in your chart shows the divergence isn't just a trend, it's the new structural reality of the market. Most alts are still fighting to reach their 2021 levels while BTC has been in price discovery for months.

True alt season needs a massive surge in net liquidity or a major rotational catalyst. Right now, Bitcoin is still the only one with the institutional green light.
