$BTC is at a Crossroads: Here are the Two Scenarios
Traders, we are at a decision point. The bounce from $83k was clean, but now the hard work begins. Based on the 4H market structure, we are looking at two very clear paths for Bitcoin in the next 24-48 hours.
Scenario A: The Rejection (Bearish) Price pushes up into the $95,000 – $98,000 zone and fails to break the Moving Average cluster. Sellers step in, forming a "Lower High," and drive the price back down to test liquidity at $88,000 - $90,000.
Scenario B: The Reclaim (Bullish) Buyers absorb the selling pressure and push for a 4H candle close above $104,000. This breaks the downtrend structure completely. If this happens, we confirm a reversal and aim for $110k and $120k.
I am watching the $95k reaction to decide my next move. Which scenario do you think plays out?

This is high-performance privacy. Are you betting on the Privacy Narrative for 2026? 👇 #crypto #Octra #Web3 #Investing
The countdown has begun. Bittensor is approaching its first 4-year cycle halving, and institutions are watching closely.
The Data:
Daily Emission: Cutting by 50% (7.2k -> 3.6k TAO).
Ecosystem Growth: Subnets (AI marketplaces) are booming, acting like a "Y Combinator for Decentralized AI."
Valuation: Subnet market caps are soaring into the billions.
Why it matters:
Investors view fixed supply caps as a massive value driver. With VC money flowing into subnets and Grayscale validating the network, the demand vs. supply economics are shifting fast.
Decentralized AI might just be blockchain's most significant use case since Bitcoin.
The 4H chart for Horizen ($ZEN ) is flashing some serious warning signs. If you are seeing green candles right now, be careful—this looks like a classic Dead Cat Bounce. 💀🐈
Why you should be cautious:
📉 Trend is Bearish: Price is strictly below the 50 & 100 EMAs. Sellers are in control.
📉 Major Breakdown: We lost the key support at $11.50. The current move up is likely just retesting this level as resistance.
📉 Distribution: The long wicks at the top show heavy whale selling.
👀 What happens next?
The $10.80 - $11.50 zone is a "Rejection Zone." If we fail here, the drop could continue.
🎯 Next Buying Areas (Support):
1️⃣ $9.55 (Watch for reaction) 2️⃣ $9.09 (Strong Support Level) 🟢
Bullish Reversal? Only if we reclaim $11.50 with volume. Until then, the trend is DOWN.
Are you catching the falling knife or waiting for $9.00? 👇
🔥 BREAKING: $420 Billion in Zcash ($ZEC ) Flows Revealed
Arkham has cracked the code. They have integrated Zcash data, claiming that 99.5% of the supply is unshielded and trackable.
What does this mean for holders?
1️⃣ Transparency: You can now see entity clusters and major wallet identities. 2️⃣ Exposure: Over 50% of transactions are now labeled. 3️⃣ Market Impact: "Privacy" is no longer the main selling point if Arkham can track it.
Is $ZEC about to Dump because of this, or Pump due to institutional clarity? 📉📈
$ZEN is still in a bearish trend, and looking at the 4h chart, can $ZEN break this bearish trend from the support level around 8.6? If $ZEN breaks the trend, then we’ll have to look at the $11 to $14 price range.But will the launch of Horizen mainnet, which is built on Base, affect its price?
$ZEC has pumped nearly 20%, but can it break the $409 resistance level? Looking at the chart, it seems like the bulls are in full control, and $ZEC volume and market cap have also pumped above 20%
