Meanwhile, Bitcoin rebounded above $91,000 after briefly dipping below $89,000, as analysts attributed much of the crypto market’s decline to growing concerns about a potential AI bubble. 🧠💥
On the 19th of November, the gavel fell with a lighter hand than expected for Mr. Hill, who now joins his co-founder in a federal correctional institution. Both were arrested in July 2024, a date that will live in infamy for their crypto escapades. 🗓️
Yet, amid this financial waltz of despair, three faint glimmers of hope flicker like fireflies near the $0.45 support zone. Whether they’re real or just wishful thinking remains to be seen.
The digital gold standard, Bitcoin, and its lesser-known cousin, Ethereum, have plunged like a lead balloon at a hot-air balloon festival. BTC lost 4.5%, ETH a staggering 8.1% in 24 hours. One might assume they were fleeing a fire sale-or perhaps just dodging Tom Lee’s latest forecast.
The report spills the tea: despite all the bearish chatter, no one’s changed their positions. They’re just sitting there, watching their losses pile up like unpaid parking tickets. 10x says this is where the real action starts. 🕵️♂️
Swissblock, that stoic bard of crypto, whispers of BTC’s potential stabilization. Meanwhile, QCP Capital and Nansen, those grim prophets of market mayhem, warn of a descent to $80k-a price so low, one might mistake it for a typo. 😅
Crypto Patel, the wise old owl of the crypto realm, declares Ethereum has confirmed a “Break of Structure” at $2,940. “Sellers still hold the reins,” he says, as if that weren’t obvious. He adds that “smart money” might soon coax the price into a “premium zone,” where past chart mishaps could be… ahem… “balanced.” Balancing a ledger? Or balancing a checkbook? Who knows. 🧠
Institutional clients collectively shouted, “We’re out!” as Bitcoin failed to hit $100K, triggering the largest net negative flow in IBIT’s history. It’s like a party where everyone left early because the DJ played “Despacito” one too many times.
The Kraken, that most elusive of creatures, disclosed at precisely 10 a.m. Eastern time on Nov. 19 that it had submitted a confidential Form S-1 to the SEC, embarking on the grand masquerade of a potential stock offering. One might imagine the SEC clerks clutching their tea mugs in existential dread, wondering if they’ll retire before this circus concludes. No share counts or pricing ranges were specified-because nothing says “trust” like leaving the price tag blank! The timing? Dependent on the SEC’s “review” and “market conditions,” which is just Wall Street code for “we’ll see how the cookies crumble.”
The Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405) is a veritable treasure map to the DOJ’s deepest, darkest corners. It demands the release of nearly all unclassified records, including flight logs, emails, and the mysterious “Ghislaine Maxwell file.” One might say it’s the ultimate game of Clue… but with more subpoenas. 🕵️♂️
