HTF is extreme mode and M5 is lose volume, lookin like can look sell setup

#BTC FALLS BELOW $74K — AND THIS MAY BE ONE REASON WHY

Fresh political pressure is hitting crypto again.

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal has demanded records from Binance, Tether and Trump-linked crypto companies as part of an investigation into potential conflicts of interest and the use of crypto in illicit activity. The firms have been given until January 4, 2027 to provide documents.

The headline comes as #BTC slipped below $74,000, touching roughly $73.7K, while another wave of long liquidations hit the market.

This may not be the only reason for the selloff, but when liquidity is already weak, another regulatory headline is enough to add fuel to the risk-off move.

Crypto really cannot catch a break this week.

🚨 The US could face another government shutdown over the Iran war.

According to Bloomberg, Democrats are considering using the December 11 government funding deadline to pressure Trump to end the war.

Some Democrats want to cut funding for US military operations in Iran, while others want the war to end gradually.

Republicans still control Congress, and no agreement has been reached.

If both sides fail to reach a deal by December 11, the US government could shut down, causing more uncertainty for the economy and markets.

Cybersecurity Tips

A YubiKey is a hardware authentication device that provides an extra layer of security to your online accounts. It is manufactured by Yubico and supports multiple authentication protocols, including one-time passwords (OTP), public-key cryptography, and authentication, and the Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) and FIDO2 protocols developed by the FIDO Alliance. When logging into an account with a YubiKey registered, the user must have the account login credentials (username+password), and the YubiKey registered to the account. This physical layer of protection prevents many account takeovers that can be done virtually.

The YubiKey is a device that makes two-factor authentication as simple as possible. Instead of a code being texted to you, or generated by an app on your phone, you press a button on your YubiKey. That's it. Each device has a unique code built on to it, which is used to generate codes that help confirm your identity. Yubico offers the most secure passkey authentication approach that accelerates passwordless and stops account takeovers in their tracks at scale.
