The World Cup round-of-32 match between Mexico and Ecuador has been delayed by an hour after thunderstorms in the Mexican capital.
Lightning strikes in the area surrounding Estadio Azteca led to the pre-match warm-ups being delayed and that has had a knock-on effect to the start of the game.
Cabo Verde are living the dream! On their FIFA World Cup debut, they've marched into the Round of 32 and now face the ultimate challenge: defending champions Argentina
From underdogs to giant slayers, can Cabo Verde pull off one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history, or will Messi's heirs continue their title defense?
Ronaldo scored early against Uzbekistan in Portugal's second group stage match of the 2026 tournament, netting his ninth World Cup goal — equalling Eusébio's long standing record as Portugal's all time top scorer at the World Cup, while simultaneously becoming the first man or woman in history to score at six different World Cups, and extending his record international tally to 144 goals.
The 41 year old had gone 10 games without a goal in major tournaments before striking in the sixth minute against Uzbekistan, and is now the second oldest scorer in World Cup history (41 years, 138 days), behind Roger Milla in 1994.
A truly legendary milestone — a record 60 years in the making, matching the great Eusébio who set his nine goal mark all the way back at the 1966 World Cup. Now one more goal would make Ronaldo Portugal's outright all-time top scorer at the World Cup. The GOAT keeps writing history.
Seven FOMC meetings into this bear market, and the pattern is hard to ignore.
Out of those 7, Bitcoin has dumped on the open 6 times. The one exception? It pumped on the open before selling off later — exactly in line with expectations at the time. That's a 6/7 dump rate. With the 8th FOMC on June 17th, the odds are not in the bulls' favor.
My read: June 17th prints the lower high of this range, and we begin the next leg down from there.
Price targets on the downside — Low 50Ks.
On the upside, max extension I'm watching is $68K–$70K. Anything above $70K is a free short with the same downside target in mind. As for positioning — I'll be adding to shorts below a key level and scaling in higher if price pushes up, specifically to avoid getting frontrun on entries. I'll share more detail as we get closer.
The structure is bearish. The FOMC data backs it. Manage risk accordingly.
Price held the 61k level and is now recovering. CVDs are improving from lows, but the move is largely perp-driven — spot is lagging significantly, and both CVDs remain deep in negative territory.
OI is slowly declining as shorts partially cover, with no major liquidations yet. This tells us the bounce is more short covering than genuine demand.
Two scenarios from here:
If spot buyers step in and spot CVD starts turning up alongside rising perps and OI, we have a real shot at testing higher levels and potentially breaking MonH (64.2k).
If spot demand stays absent, we likely retrace back to 61k to retest the HVN before any meaningful continuation.
Trade management: Move SL to entry now. A return to entry signals we're probably heading lower — better to be flat and re-engage at more favorable levels than hold through it.
Price is recovering from the lows, and the internals are aligning perfectly. OI dropped massively on the pump — shorts got squeezed exactly as expected, and more covering is likely on the way.
Both Perps CVD and Spot CVD are recovering consistently, though still in extreme negative territory, meaning there's plenty of fuel left for the squeeze to continue.
Unlike the prior failed bounces that stalled after one session, this move has real backing. Price is now testing the 63.5k level (previous support before the flush). If we clear it with OI continuing to decline and CVDs recovering, 65k–66k becomes the next target and our ideal TP.
Everything is tracking the plan. Still expecting a push toward 68.2k (qO) to form the lower high.
Price is basing above the $60K support zone. Perps and spot are recovering from extremes, OI is stabilizing after days of rollover, and CVDs are deeply negative — that gap is the fuel for a potential short squeeze.
Unlike previous support tests, this setup has OI stabilization + massive long liquidations already flushed out, which is why I think this is the bottom.
Shorting here is a bad idea. Expect pain for shorts over the next 1–2 weeks.
Price swept 60K (Feb lows) after failing to hold 63K. Perps and Spot CVD are both at extremes — sellers are firmly in control.
We've flushed ~$2B in longs, dropped 30% from 74K, and not a single support has held.
Reclaim and hold 62K = squeeze back to Q0 (68.2K).
The crowd turning bearish here after max pain is rarely optimal. The deeper these CVD extremes go, the more violent the reversal will be. Late shorts will get rekt eventually — it's just a matter of when.
#BTC played out exactly as anticipated. We’ve reached a key major support zone that should hold. I’ve re entered longs from here, targeting qO at $68.2k as my primary TP, while also monitoring for short opportunities. Will update this post when we get to qO.
After $1.6B+ in liquidations and a sweep of the 62.5k liquidity, I believe a local bottom is in. Expecting a relief bounce to 68.2k–70k before any continuation lower.
The next 2–3 weeks will be choppy. My base case:
Pump into CPI → dump Slow grind into FOMC → nuke
By end of June, I expect price to break below 60k and target the 55k–57k zone.
Ironically, a confirmed break below 60k is where I flip bullish and start building long positions.
Price is approaching our first major zone as planned.
There's a real possibility we front-run the sweep and push straight up from here — I've already entered a swing long in the 65s in anticipation of that move.
My next target is a tap of 70K, where I'll be taking profit on the swing and flipping my bias. From there, I'll be looking for shorts back down into the 60–63K range.
The 65K level is holding strong structure, making a clean breakdown to lower unswept levels unlikely before we see at least a bounce.

$BTC Fractal Update
Fractal is playing out perfectly. Price is heading to $65K — first major support and a good area to start a swing long targeting $70K. Above $70K, I'm looking for shorts.
HTF — The Bottom
Still targeting sub-$60K for the bottom. A lot of people are calling $39K–$44K but I don't see price going below $50K — time and institutions matter too, not just math.
Won't be buying exactly at $50K though — too risky. I'll be DCAing into longs from $58K–$60K on the way down instead of waiting for one perfect entry. Chasing that perfect entry will leave most people FOMOing back in at $70K.

The USDT.D fractal is tracking perfectly toward the purple dot — which lines up with BTC at 65K. Expecting a liquidity sweep there followed by a strong bounce. Once USDT.D tops out and rolls over, BTC should push back up to $70K for the full TP.
Long thesis is invalidated on a daily close below $72,400.

$BTC
The liquidity cluster around 73-74k has been cleared. We are now expected to see a bearish retest into our shorting zone, with liquidity building above current price levels.
The first major resistance to watch is the mO at 76.3k.
If price breaks and closes above 76.3k, we will target the next liquidity pool higher.
However, if price rejects from 76.3k, we will likely form a higher low (HL) there and resume the move lower from the monthly open.
