🇫🇷👮♂️ A mother and her two children were taken hostage yesterday morning at their home in Vaires-sur-Marne, in Seine-et-Marne, by two individuals who were seeking to seize cryptocurrencies.
Two hooded individuals burst into the home around 6:30 AM, waking the mother, who was sleeping on the ground floor. She then found herself face to face with the criminals, who had managed to force the front door.
They threatened with a knife and bound the victims... but they did not manage to recover the loot, "the victims appearing to have been mistakenly targeted," according to the public prosecutor who has opened an investigation.
The perpetrators may have confused them with the previous owner of the house.
The two criminals and a mastermind, with whom they were communicating by phone during the incident, are actively being sought.
The DeFi platform Aave recorded nearly 27 million dollars in liquidations in 24 hours.
The origin: a temporary malfunction in the oracle system used to value the collaterals.
The problem concerned wstETH, the token representing the ETH staked via Lido.
During the incident:
• the oracle valued wstETH around 1.19 ETH • the market evaluated it closer to 1.23 ETH
This discrepancy was enough to trigger automatic liquidations on certain positions.
According to the analyses, the cause would come from a misconfiguration of the CAPO risk oracle, related to unsynchronized exchange rate parameters in a smart contract.

First time in 6 weeks that Bitcoin finally gives us a weekly close in the green. And not just any close, it's a reverse doji candle ✍️
This type of candle shows a sign of exhaustion of the ongoing downward trend and therefore a possible reversal at least in the short term, in the coming weeks.
🇺🇸 The Treasury urges Congress to empower crypto platforms to freeze suspicious funds.
The Treasury has recommended a "hold law" that would provide exchanges with legal cover to temporarily freeze suspicious cryptocurrencies while investigators obtain search warrants.
The proposal appears in a report from the GENIUS ACT on tools to combat the illicit financing of digital assets.
"Exchanges often detect suspicious funds using blockchain intelligence, but there is not always a clear legal framework that allows them to retain these assets long enough for investigators to act."
🚨WHERE IS THE CYCLE REALLY AT?\n\nA quick historical reminder:\n\n2012 → The bottom formed 777 days after the halving.\nToday → We’re about 682 days post-halving.\n\nIf the cycle is still following its expected structure…\nThen the market might be in the process of establishing its bottom, rather than having already reached it.
I don't think we will seek a correction as deep as during the previous cycle. If we simply look at the chart, we seem to be in a consolidation phase after a strong retracement accompanied by a very marked wick. This type of structure often indicates that a movement is preparing. A possible scenario could be a return towards the Fibonacci retracement zone of 0.382, around 57K. To be continued.
🚨 A report claims that approximately 350 billion dollars have been laundered through cryptocurrencies between 2010 and 2025, based on 164 publicly documented cases worldwide.
The United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom would account for the largest number of identified cases, according to this database compiled by Alexander Browder, son of anti-corruption activist Bill Browder.
The report highlights a concerning inefficiency rate as 79% of the recorded cases have not resulted in any convictions, and only 29% of the funds have been recovered, which fuels criticism regarding the lack of international coordination and the gaps in the enforcement of anti-money laundering rules related to digital assets.
However, while crypto can be used to move funds outside traditional banking channels, the public traceability of blockchain has also allowed specialized analytical companies and law enforcement to track financial flows with often greater accuracy than traditional finance, placing regulators in a dilemma between increased repression and regulated integration of the sector.
Look at Jane Street's "playbook": > quietly accumulate, open massive shorts, then trigger a flash crash with algorithmic sales when liquidity is low.
The perfect recipe to panic the market... and cash in.
In India, this strategy has cost them 560M$ frozen by the regulator, and an investigation is still ongoing. They can act on a wave, but they cannot stop the tide 😊 So short-term impact but no long-term impact...
Bitcoin dropped 15% in February and closed its 5th consecutive red monthly candle, the second time in history.
The first time we saw 6 consecutive red candles was in 2018–2019. After that, Bitcoin printed 5 consecutive green candles and pumped 308% from $3400 to $14,000.
If history repeats, BTC is close to a bottom after five red months, and we could see a massive reversal in the coming months.
Alright, 67k reached, and we're already getting close to our final target (aside runners) of 73k.
Seeing the timeline acting as if they called this move. It's funny to see, because in my world, nothing counts unless action is taken because calling a move is easy without acting (as you can call 10 different directions and say you called it). Hence, executing is a completely different game (you can only stand behind 1 direction)
I could write books of why so many called sub 50k, even sub 60k while we hit 62k, and we didn't hit either.
It's a sentiment read, telling us people are bearish.
Instead market went up. And we executed on it, all in live time. There is no if or but about it.
Entry taken, move performed, and now, we get to slowly cash in, can take second TP on the long entry I posted at 62.9k. And I took first TP on my long from 63.8k, right here at 69k.
Reversal call successful ✅ No 60k ❌, instead 69k. ✅
