I’m already working on the material today - going to share my thoughts on geopolitics, crypto markets, and how everything connects. It’s a really interesting and highly relevant topic, because markets react not only to charts but to what’s happening in the world.
I’ll publish my take in the new post a bit later.

Silver poised for ATH
Amid escalation around Iran, silver rebounded to $96. A break above $100 opens the path toward testing and potentially exceeding the ATH above $120 - if geopolitical tension intensifies.
Technical picture remains bullish on daily and weekly timeframes. However, a bearish divergence is forming, so it can’t be ignored. Any news about de-escalation could reverse the market quickly.
The trigger for a new ATH scenario would be an RSI break above 77.
For now, risk remains elevated. Long positions in gold and silver may strengthen if the stock market of United States of America slides.
But the first headline about readiness from Iran to negotiate could flip sentiment across financial markets almost instantly.

🚀 Amid the conflict, gold is back above $5,400. Right now, holders of metals and oil seem to be benefiting the most.
We used to say BTC was “digital gold”… or was that not quite the case? 😅🤞

🌍 THE PERFECT STORM: Geopolitics, Gold, and the New Crypto Reality
The markets are no longer just reacting to charts; they are reacting to a world in transition. If you’re only looking at candles, you’re missing the forest for the trees. Here is how everything connects right now.
🏛 GEOPOLITICS
Following the major shifts in Tehran and the escalating U.S.-Israeli operations, we are witnessing a fundamental reordering of power.
With the Strait of Hormuz under pressure, Brent Crude has surged over 14% this month, approaching the $80-$85 zone. This isn't just about fuel; it’s an inflationary tax on the entire global economy.
🟡 GOLD
Gold has done something historic. This week, it hit an all-time high of $5,417/oz.
When missiles fly and regimes tremble, "Old Money" sprints to gold. But look closer: the massive premiums in domestic markets show that people aren't just investing; they are hedging for survival.
₿ CRYPTO
Despite macro headwinds, Bitcoin dominance remains high at ~58%. The market is flushing out leverage, but long-term holders are absorbing the supply.
Why does this matter? Because capital seeks two things in a storm: Liquidity and Scarcity.
1. Gold provides the safety of the past.
2. Crypto provides the liquidity of the future.
3. Geopolitics is the catalyst forcing everyone to choose.
We are watching the "debasement trade" in full effect. As currencies fluctuate and borders shift, assets with a hard cap and global reach are the only winners.
I’ll be sharing more specific thoughts on my personal portfolio adjustments shortly. Stay sharp. The game has changed. 🤫🚀

🔥 BTC ABOVE $71K AGAIN - BULLS NOT DONE YET
Markets shrugged off political chaos. While headlines scream about GENIUS/Clarity Act drama and banks fighting crypto regulation, Bitcoin quietly refuses to break down.
Price is holding key levels and liquidity is coming back. When regulation eventually clears up, the next big leg could surprise everyone.

🔥 MIDDLE EAST ESCALATION DIDN’T TRIGGER NEW BTC PANIC
Short-term holders dumped ~89K BTC at a loss on Feb 5–6 but selling pressure faded fast. No major influx of coins to exchanges followed.
Markets are stabilizing not because news turned good, but because sellers are running out. When weak hands exit, price stops reacting to headlines and starts building a base.

Target hit. BTC reached $72k exactly as anticipated. Now, we wait and watch the price action at these levels.
The plan remains the same:
If I see signs of weakness or if another wave of FUD hits the news, I’ll be looking for a short position targeting the previous lows.
Current Stats:
🔹 BTC: ~$72,560
🔹 ETH: ~$2,120
🔹 SOL: ~$91

⚠️ Too Early to Celebrate?
According to Santiment, we’re seeing a sharp spike in positive social sentiment as BTC pushes toward $70k. However, this looks like a retail-driven impulse rather than a structural shift.
For a real trend reversal, we need to see a solid daily close and consolidation above $75k.

Matt Hougan, CIO at Bitwise, believes we likely won't see an altseason in its traditional, 'everything pumps' form anymore.
But let's be real: as crypto degens, we need to believe in something to survive this market - otherwise, you just won't last long here.

🚨 YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT FLORIDA JUST DID FOR CRYPTO
Stablecoins just got a major regulatory green light in Florida. Lawmakers approved rules that could legitimize and structure the entire stablecoin industry and now it’s waiting for a signature from Governor Ron DeSantis.
If this becomes law, it might be the first domino in a wave of crypto-friendly regulation across the U.S.

A New Market Fear Emerges: FOBO
A new term is spreading across markets this week - FOBO (Fear of Becoming Obsolete) - the fear that workers and investors could become obsolete because of AI.
Recent developments have fueled the narrative:
• Block announced plans to cut around 4,000 jobs while accelerating AI adoption.
• A report predicting the potential “death of office professions” wiped nearly $200B from software company valuations.
• Surveys suggest 63% of workers would accept lower pay if it meant gaining AI-related skills.
At the same time, many executives expect AI to reduce company headcount in the coming years.

No opportunities? They exist! 🚀
The market has shifted: Bitcoin is still alive, altcoins not so much. Many feel like nothing’s happening — but opportunities are here. The biggest problem right now? Information shortage.
Opportunities you can act on:
• Options — volatility + strictly limited risk 💡
• Drops — laying the foundation for the next bull run 🐂
• DeFi — always relevant 🌐
Yes, there are fewer than in a bull market, but they’re still there.
💬 Want me to dig deeper into the information gap and show where real activity is? React and let me know!

❓ Is Bitcoin entering another bear market?
One metric I’m closely watching right now is Bitcoin’s Supply in Loss - the share of BTC held below the purchase price. At the moment, it’s approaching 40–45%.
From what I see in previous cycles, this level usually appears during the early stages of a bear market. But the real bottoms historically formed only when this metric moved above ~50% - when the market goes through maximum pain.

I’m increasingly convinced that ETF inflows are one of the main drivers of BTC in this cycle.
Just look at the latest numbers:
▪️ $246.9M inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs today
▪️ $167.1M the day before
▪️ BlackRock’s IBIT alone pulled in $185.8M
When I track market momentum, ETF flows are one of the first signals I watch.

IRS Crypto Checks: New form lists 100+ platforms & wallets. Users must report all interactions or face perjury charges. Wonder if Trump will fill it out?

Back in 2010, someone could have bought 220 BTC for $1, but decided: “F*ck that shit.”
Today, that same 220 BTC is worth roughly $15 million.
You can only imagine their reaction now 😂
