Was Bitcoin’s move to 87400$ a breakout or a deviation? Bitcoin reached 87400, then fell back below the May high it had just broken. That’s why I see the rally as a possible deviation: price breaks out of a range but fails to hold above it. On the weekly chart, breaking the May high does suggest a bullish market structure shift. This range reminds me of Bitcoin’s recovery in 2023, when a pullback towards $19,000 set the stage for a much stronger rally. To keep it simple, these are the main scenarios I’m weighing up: 🔹️ BTC pulls back to around $62,500. Buyers defend that level and the rally resumes. If BTC then reclaims $80,600 and holds it as support on the next pullback, the bullish case gets stronger. 🔹️ Selling pressure takes BTC down towards $61700 for a third test of support. A "three-tap" move. If buyers step in there and BTC regains $68,000, I’d want to see that level hold before looking for a move above $87,400. 🔹️ BTC rallies back to $80,600, the low of the July 2025 range, but sellers turn it back. If each subsequent bounce stalls, a weekly close below $62,550 could mark the start of another leg down. My view is that the cycle low is still ahead. Could I be wrong? Absolutely. If this range holds and BTC can stay above $72400, there’s a credible case for the rally to continue.

Today, another box gets ticked. ✅ Liquidity taken above ~78k ✅ Market back below ~70k ✅ Acceptance beneath ~70k ✅ Reject ~60k / 2025 Low ⌛ Sell-off into the 48k–37k liquidity zone Back in February 2025, I started outlining a macro structure that pointed towards a deeper corrective phase once Bitcoin lost acceptance above key levels. Since then, the headlines have changed dozens of times. 🧸 Japan's liquidity crisis, a collapsing Yen and intervention fears. 🧸 Binance's fight to remain in Europe, MiCA uncertainty and growing pressure on USDT. 🧸 South Korea discussing taxes on unrealised gains while Asian markets shed hundreds of billions. 🧸 War with Iran. 🧸 Peace with Iran. Different catalysts. Different narratives. Same destination. Every time price reaches a critical area, a fresh narrative appears to explain the move. Yet the structure keeps unfolding exactly where it was expected to. A few days ago, many believed peace in the Middle East would be enough to stop the decline. It wasn't. Just as I've argued repeatedly over the last year, the market appears to reach the destination first and find the explanation afterwards. Now the focus shifts lower. Will we see the final liquidity sweep into the 48k–37k zone? Maybe not. But so far, the chart has shown a remarkable habit of following the script. And perhaps the bigger question: Does this cycle eventually produce its own FTX moment? Time will tell. For now, the structure remains in control.

This was published by the WEF in June 2020. Incredible how everything seems to be lining up, isn't it? What sounded like conspiracy theory was being openly discussed. It feels as though the "reset" is getting closer.

Have you noticed how quickly these security warnings are piling up? Two critical PHP flaws triggered government warnings to patch or consider going offline. AWS detected exploitation attempts four days before the fixes. GitLab disclosed a maximum-severity flaw affecting versions since 2014. A poisoned LiteLLM release distributed credential-stealing malware. Researchers documented AI agents targeting over 1,200 sites, with more than 100 intrusions. Axios now reports unapproved AI agents accessing accounts at banks including JPMorgan and Bank of America. Different failures. Real consequences for our data and money. I’ve already spoken to you about this a few times this week. And the frequency of these attacks is only going to increase. As you know, Ripple, Stellar, Stronghold and Hedera have been building the infrastructure needed for a more resilient financial system. Their value is not that crypto makes attacks impossible. It is that distributed networks, cryptographic verification, offline key protection and multiple approvals can remove single points of failure and make unauthorised access harder. That infrastructure is becoming increasingly important as traditional systems face more outages, breaches and autonomous threats. Being early looks like being wrong until the infrastructure proves its worth.

🩸 BNB’s Bloodbath Loading? BNB’s 1M chart is sitting at a key macro inflection. After a powerful cycle expansion, price has spent months compressing beneath the shaded ATH supply zone around $704–$794, with no clean acceptance above it. If strength returns, BNB needs to reclaim that box and expand into price discovery. If it fails, the cleaner path is a deeper liquidity sweep towards $183, where old demand, imbalance and volume can be rebuilt. From my view, BNB may need that reset before the next real leg higher. ...if it happens.

🧠 You think It’s late? The Smart Money hasn’t even entered yet The bulk of institutional capital, the money that truly moves the world, has yet to enter the crypto market. As we know, ISO20022 is the new global standard for financial messaging, defined by SWIFT and adopted by central banks, payment systems, and clearing institutions. This standard will come into full global implementation on 22 November 2025, defining how financial data is structured and exchanged to enable seamless interoperability across institutions and platforms. And from 1 January 2026, anyone still using MT messages will face extra fees for translation and contingency services until migration is complete. Who’s going to want to pay more? No one. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The DTCC, which clears and settles the vast majority of securities transactions in the United States, is currently adapting its systems (DTC, NSCC, FICC) to communicate using this framework. But there’s a reason its timeline is longer. The DTCC sits at the very end of the settlement chain, where data from exchanges, banks, and custodians converges. Before it can upgrade its own infrastructure, it must ensure that all upstream entities — exchanges, brokers, and correspondent banks — are fully stabilised in the new format. 📍 The full testing and certification phase is taking place between 2025 and 2026, with ongoing adoption expected in 2026/27. Once this migration is finalised, settlement messages will be able to integrate with digital asset networks and ISO20022 compliant systems worldwide, creating a unified infrastructure between traditional and tokenised money. --- We’re in the phase where the infrastructure is still being built. Just before the avalanche of liquidity 🌊 When the migration is complete, blockchain will cease to be a parallel universe. It will become the central nervous system of the new global financial market. $SHx $XLM $XRP #RWA #DigitalAssets #ISO20022 #Economy

Today, a power failure at Google Cloud in London affected banks, payments, cash withdrawals, transfers, postal services and court video links. Revolut, Lloyds, Halifax and HSBC customers felt the impact. A single point of failure disrupted essential services. It was not a cyberattack, but it exposes the very conditions I spoke about yesterday. The more failures and attacks affect public institutions and private organisations, the greater the fear and the pressure for centralised ‘solutions’. Digital ID, programmable money, surveillance and further restrictions will all be presented in the name of security. --- “The choice for mankind lay between freedom and happiness, and, for the great bulk of mankind, happiness was better.” — George Orwell, 1984

Something told me you'd be commenting on this post 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼😅 This is all part of an old ritual, where the elites feel compelled to reveal their plans in plain sight before putting them into action. The Economist covers are often seen as one of their favourite ways of doing it, but the same idea extends to films, music, advertising and pretty much every form of mainstream media. Hidden in plain sight. The switch is already in motion. Everything we're witnessing is part of the very process we've been discussing and investigating all along. Have you noticed how AI driven cyberattacks on public institutions and private organisations seem to be escalating? They'll use this entire narrative to justify the introduction of a new financial system. Digital ID control, monetary control through crypto, tighter border controls in response to illegal immigration (which they themselves have fuelled). ✨️ All in the name of "our own safety and security" ✨️ It'll be the people themselves demanding it. They'll be the ones calling for more surveillance, more restrictions and more control. The illusion of choice.

I can no longer stay silent about this. For far too long, many Europeans trusted that others would protect what they had inherited. They believed governments had things under control, that borders would be respected, that laws would be upheld, and that the culture passed down by their parents and grandparents would remain alive for their children. But there are moments in history when a people must stop, look around and ask: what country are we leaving behind? We may disagree on politics, parties and ideas. But something deeper unites us. The culture we share, the history we inherited, and the country we wish to protect. Within that foundation, we can still understand one another, because we speak from the same roots. The real problem begins when that foundation is lost, fragmented or replaced. Because without a shared culture, there can be no united people moving towards the same future. Today, across Europe, there is a growing sense that everything has changed, and not for the better. Far from it. Reports of violent crime, attacks in broad daylight, sexual assaults, child exploitation networks and incidents that leave entire communities in shock are becoming increasingly common. Many people no longer live with the same peace of mind. They avoid certain areas, change their daily habits and wonder whether their children will enjoy the safety previous generations once took for granted. Many citizens feel they are no longer a priority in their own countries. This is a question of balance, responsibility and respect. How many people can a country welcome without compromising the quality of life of its own citizens? How can we ensure that those who arrive respect the values, laws, culture and customs of the country that receives them? One great concern is that many European countries are changing at a speed that no longer allows for genuine integration. In many cities, the transformation is not merely demographic. It has become cultural, social and even civilisational. Customs, traditions, ways of living together, family values, freedom of expression, respect for the law and equality between men and women. Pillars that shaped Europe for generations are being challenged in places where integration has failed, or never truly happened. The problem begins when communities live apart from the local culture, keep their own rules, and profoundly change the atmosphere of cities, schools and neighbourhoods. Imposing their own culture. A people does not disappear only through war. It can also disappear slowly, when it stops renewing itself, when it has fewer children while receiving populations in such numbers, and with birth rates far higher than those of the local population. If nothing changes, in just two generations Europeans may wake up in a Europe they no longer recognise as their own. A Europe where native culture, customs, values and collective memory are no longer society’s common foundation, but merely a memory of what once existed. A transformation accelerated by the permissive policies of the European Union and by national leaders who opened the doors without ensuring integration, balance or cultural continuity. The time has come to wake up. Not as enemies of anyone, but as guardians of what we have received. As citizens who understand that a nation is not merely territory. It is memory, culture, laws, customs, sacrifice and continuity. Defending our country is not about hating anyone. It is about demanding respect for our laws, our values and our way of life. It is about remembering that integration must be real, that borders matter, and that the identity of a people cannot be sacrificed by decisions made far away from its citizens. Enough is enough! Now is the time to speak and to act. Because if we do not defend our country, no one will do it for us. Defend today what you want to see preserved tomorrow, for your children, for future generations, and for all those who will inherit the country we leave behind.

As promised, I’ve caught up. If you find it useful, like and repost. Otherwise, I’ll have to explain to my family why I spent the weekend investigating a banking API. Again. I hope the article helps you see the same value in these developments that I do.
