MARKETS week ahead: April 13 – 18Last week in the news Tariffs rollercoaster continued also during the previous week, with a glimpse of improved market sentiment. However, analysts are now questioning whether optimism is sustainable at this moment? The US Dollar significantly lost in value during the week, bringing the price of gold to its fresh, new all time highest level at $3.240. The US Treasuries had a strong reaction, where the 10Y benchmark yields continued to surge, ending the week at 4,49%. The US equities had another rollercoaster week. On Wednesday, the S&P 500 had an upside move of around 10%, which is extremely rarely seen on the equity markets. The index closed the week at the level of 5.363, after reaching its lowest weekly level at 4.845. The crypto market was also affected with the negative sentiment at the beginning of the week, but still, as of the week-end BTC managed to test the $85K resistance. All macroeconomic news are put aside at this moment, as the market is looking only at word “tariffs”, which is currently the most popular word also among world leaders. The US Administration said that they will put tariffs on hold for the majority of countries for the next 90 days, except for China. Another news is related to decreased tariffs to 10% which will now be imposed on the majority of countries in the world. However a tariffs-war between the US and China continues. At this moment, the latest news is that the US is imposing tariffs of 145% to China, while China is imposing tariffs of 125% on goods imported from the US. Whether this is going to be the final tariff outcome, no one knows. As per comments from China officials, they are not ready to back up. The Chinese finance minister commented “Even if the U.S. continues to impose higher tariffs, it will no longer make economic sense and will become a joke in the history of the world economy”. Many analysts agree with the absurdity of such high tariffs, while there are few who still believe in the “Art of the deal”. Negative effects of tariff war are already reflected on the US supply chain. Majority of goods imported from China cannot be distributed further to retail stores, as companies are not sure which tariffs to apply. On the other side are mortgage loans, which surged to the level of 7% for the period of 30 years. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment results were posted during the previous week, with surprisingly lower figures from expected one. Certainly, currently most important are inflation expectations of US consumers, which surged to the level of 6,7% from 5% expectations in March. The recession fears are again among investors. The famous US investor and CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, noted during the previous week in an interview his opinion that the US is “very close, if not in, a recession now”. Regardless of the current sentiment, he thinks that “megatrends” in the US economy, like artificial intelligence, would persist. Crypto market cap CRYPTO MARKET Two weeks ago the crypto market was left behind investors' view during the general sell off on traditional markets, however, the situation changed during the start of the previous week. Some optimism came at the week-end, bringing another highly volatile week on the crypto market. Total crypto market capitalization was increased by 2% on a weekly basis, mostly due to the surge of BTC at Saturdays trading session, bringing additional $ 44B to the market cap. Daily trading volumes remained relatively stable compared to the week before, moving around $130B on a daily basis. Total crypto market increase from the beginning of this year, currently stands at -18%, with $567B outflow of funds. Previous week was generally the volatile one, with almost equal numbers of coins which ended the week in red, and those with a green weekly gain. BTC gained mostly at Saturday's trading session, where it managed to end the week with a 2,3% weekly gain in market capitalization, bringing almost $ 40B to its market cap. On the opposite side was ETH, which lost significantly during the week, decreasing its market cap by 8,1% or almost $18B. At the same time, XRP was traded flat during the week, same as BNB. Among significant gainers was Solana, with a surge in market cap of more than 10%, or $6,3B. Maker was up by 5,3%, while Algorand surged by 4,5%. Among weekly losers were Monero, with a drop of more than 3%, Theta was down by 2,6%, same as Stellar. This week Uniswap and Stellar also closed the week in red, with a drop of around 5%. With respect to coins in circulation, this week, both XRP and Stellar increased their number of coins on the market by 0,2%. Solana also had an increase in the number of coins of 0,3%, while Filecoin, traditionally is increasing its circulating coins, this week by 0,4%. Crypto futures market The negative sentiment from the spot market was also reflected in the crypto futures. This week was different for BTC futures, as there has not been evident the same level, linear drop in the value of futures for all maturities. The short term futures had a modest weekly decrease of around 0,5%. At the same time December 2025 ended the week by 1,3% lower, at the level of $87.695. Longer maturities had a larger weekly drop in the value of futures of more than 4%. In this sense, December 2026 closed the week at $93.115, or 4,7% lower. On a positive side is that longer term maturities are still managing to hold above the $90K levels. ETH futures had a linear decrease in the value of future contacts by more than 13% for all maturities. December 2025 ended the week at the level of $1.650, while December 2026 was last traded at $1.778.

Pi Network has began to soar?Previously, Pi Network was keep on silent with the pioneers getting frustrated with declining prices. Just get reminded that Pi core team already mention that keep posted any NEWS coming. They are getting more working hours more than we had. So, pioneers just keep on what your doing daily, let the team core doing their part. Global payments company BANXA has made a big splash by purchasing over 30.5 million Pi Coins, worth around $19 million. But this isn’t just another crypto deal—it’s a clear sign that major players are starting to take the Pi Network seriously as a future leader in digital payments. With this move, BANXA now lets users buy Pi directly on its platform and send it straight to their wallets. This makes it much easier for users to access Pi, especially as the community keeps growing. BANXA’s purchase isn’t just about owning Pi—it’s a vote of confidence in the entire Pi Network. It shows that Pi is no longer just an experiment, but a growing digital economy with real-world potential. By supporting direct purchases and improving infrastructure, BANXA is helping Pi shift from a mined-only coin to one that has real value in the market. This is a new steps in the crypto digital payment to all nation wide, with uncertain economy crashing today lots of countries are seeking the safest way to sustain economy. The traditional way of economy has getting older and slower. My personal opinion is, Trump's crypto team now silently work closely with Pi core team to develop a new bond tie of digital economy, and will makeing a huge and powerfull worm hole of economy, that may suck any all kind of economy into it. Looks like a Si-Fi movie.. Lol.. The chat can be automaticly updated in every two hours, and I try to keep a new updates regarding Pi Coin , for the sake of Pi Pionners movement and Pi coin awarensess. Keep watch closely until th cup and handle chart pattern completed.

MARKETS week ahead: April 6 – 12Last week in the news A completely new dance is currently on the world stage, called the Tariff-economics. The US Administration shocked the world and financial markets with implementation of trade tariffs for almost all countries in the world. China was the first to respond, dragging down all financial markets globally. This was one of the worst trading weeks for US equities since the pandemic lockdown in 2020. Only on Friday, the S&P 500 lost almost 6%, and about 10% for the week. The price of gold dropped in a response to the margin calls from other markets, ending the week at the level of $3.037. In a fear of recession in the US, the 10Y US benchmark yields responded with a strong move toward the 3,87%, but ended the week at 3,99%. The price of BTC was relatively steady compared with other financial markets, but the question that is currently pending the answer was if this was actually good or maybe the bad news? The US Administration decided to start trade-war with the rest of the world. This was an action which shocked both markets and almost all governments in the world. The global sell-off in equities was triggered in a fear of recession and the impact which trade tariffs might have on global growth during this year. The situation was much worse when China announced implementation of 34% tariffs on all goods imported from the US. Other governments worldwide are expected to announce countermeasures in the weeks to come. Investors worldwide are currently very unhappy with actions from the US side, calling it the “biggest policy mistake in 95 years”. The US President Trump is not giving up from persuading Fed Chair Powell to cut interest rates. Last week President Trump said that the Fed Chair should “stop playing politics” and that now is the perfect time for an interest rate cut. Fed Chair Powell clearly noted at the last FOMC meeting that he will not publicly comment on any topic from the US Administration. When asked to comment on the impact of trade tariffs during the previous week, Powell shortly noted that they are “significantly larger than expected”. With respect to potential rate cuts during this year, the market is currently projecting four 25 bps cuts till the end of this year, regardless of the latest FOMC projections of only two rate cuts. Banking professionals are also cutting their initial projections of the equity markets developments for this year. The RBC analysts are now projecting the S&P 500 level of 4.200 for this year in case of the stagflation macroeconomic scenario. In the case of full recession, their revised projections for the index currently stand between 4.500 and 4.200. Crypto market cap Traditional markets had a very turbulent week and the worst one since the pandemic lockdown in 2020, however, the crypto market was moderately left behind the market attention. Considering developments with other financial assets, it could be noted that the crypto market had a relatively solid week. There had been both weekly losers but also gainers. Total crypto market capitalization dropped by 1% on a weekly basis, losing a minor $19B in cap. Daily trading volumes remained relatively stable on a weekly level, without a significant change of previous $132B. Total crypto market increase from the beginning of this year, currently stands at -19%, with $611B outflow of funds. Generally BTC had a relatively stable week, with a minor weekly gain of 0,2% and with an inflow of $4B. ETH was standing on an opposite side, with a weekly loss of 3,5% in the market cap, or $8B. BNB was traded with a modest negative sentiment, with a weekly loss in market cap of $ 2B, or 2,4%. Market favorite Solana dropped by 5,2%, erasing $3,3B from the market cap. EOS was one of rare coins with an extreme market gain of 40% on a weekly basis. XRP was also traded a bit higher, gaining 0,3% for the week. Tron and ZCash also ended the week in positive territory, around 1,5% higher from the week before. Other altcoins were traded in a mixed manner, with a losing side prevailing. The majority of altcoins lost somewhere between 2% and 9%. One of the highest weekly increases of coins in circulation during the previous week had Solana and IOTA of 0,5% w/w. Algorand and Filecoin increased their circulating coins by 0,2%. Thai week, Tether had a drop in total number of coins on the market by 0,1%. Crypto futures market The crypto futures market had a relatively calm week, in line with developments on the spot market. BTC futures were traded higher from 0,1% to 0,4% for various maturities. BTC futures maturing in December this year closed the week by 0,4% higher, at the level of $88.850. Those maturing in December 2026 closed the trading day at $97.705, almost flat from the week before. ETH futures were traded lowr above the 3% for all maturities. ETH futures maturing in December 2025 ended the week at $1.914, and those maturing a year later were last traded at $2.060.

MARKETS week ahead: March 31 – April 6Last week in the news Trade tariffs and inflation were the most watched words during the previous week, which shaped the market sentiment. Although US equities tried to express some shy positivity, the University of Michigan consumer Sentiment on inflation expectations put a shadow on a positive sentiment. The US equity market was traded sharply to downside on Friday, where the S&P 500 lost 1,97% in value, ending the week at the level of 5.580. On the opposite side was the price of gold, which reached the fresh, new all time highest level at $3.080. The 10Y US Treasury benchmark yields also reacted strongly to increased inflation expectations, dropping on Friday to the level of 4,25%. The crypto market followed the general negative sentiment, where BTC ended the week modestly above the $82K. The US macro data published during the previous week, strongly impacted market sentiment. The PCE for February showed further modest increase in inflation, as the index reached 0,3% for the month and 2,5% on a yearly basis. Core PCE continues to be elevated, with an increase of 0,4% in February and +2,8% compared to the previous year. However, the highest surprise came from the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment, final for March, where inflation expectations for this year were elevated to the level of 5,0%, a jump from previous 4,3%. At the same time, there has been an increase in inflation expectations for the next five years, which reached the level of 4,1% from previous 3,5%. The increased inflation expectations in line with news regarding trade tariffs put the negative sentiment among investors, where the US equity markets dropped sharply during Friday's trading session, as well as US Treasury yields. Another tech company above the $ 1B valuation is free for trading on the NASDAQ from the previous week. The company in question is CoreWawe, under ticker CRWV. The company is a seller of artificial intelligence in the cloud, and is a supplier of OpenAI. CoreWave is better known as one of the companies with the highest initial public offering of $1,5B. The achieved price at the first trading day on Friday was $40 per share. Analysts from Bank of America noted on Friday that, in their opinion, the equities in the US are still very expensive. The exact wording that was used is that the market “remains statistically expensive on almost every measure we track”. However, they acknowledged the recent correction, but remain cautious on the policy uncertainty. As news is reporting, Grayscale, the US based investment fund, filed with SEC for the approval for their first spot Avalanche exchange traded fund to be listed on NASDAQ. Grayscale for some time is managing the Avalanche Trust, which carries 2,5% yearly fee. If approved, the ETF will provide for a wider range of investors exposure toward AVAX token. Crypto market cap CRYPTO MARKET Markets were not happy with increased inflation expectations, while further rhetoric regarding new trade tariffs from the US Administration and other world governments are not providing any sort of confidence to investors. Market reacted in a negative manner during the previous week, dragging the crypto market toward the downside. Total crypto market capitalization was decreased by additional 3% or total $72B on a weekly basis. Daily trading volumes were modestly increased to the level of $132B on a daily basis, from $92B traded a week before. Total crypto market increase from the beginning of this year, currently stands at -18%, with $592B outflow of funds. General negative market sentiment pulled the crypto market toward the downside, but not all altcoins ended the week in red. BTC had the highest decrease in market cap of $28B, decreased its value by 1,7% w/w. ETH lost $16B in value or 6,8%. Other major coins ended the week in a negative territory. XRP had a weekly drop in value of 10,7%, with a loss of FWB:15B in market cap. BNB was down by 3,1%, market favourite Solana decreased its value by 2,5%, while ADA dropped by 4,5%. Few coins finished the week with a positive weekly result. ZCash managed to add to its value almost 18%, Maker ended the week higher by 8,5%. With respect to coins in circulation, some of the highest weekly gains were marked with stablecoin Tether, with an increase in the number of coins by 0,5%. Solana`s coins in circulation were higher by 0,3%, while Polkadot increased the number of coins on the market by 0,6% w/w. Crypto futures market The crypto futures market was also in a negative mood during the previous week. Although BTC lost around 1,7% in value on a weekly basis, its futures decreased much less, around 0,5% for all maturities. Still, for the last three weeks, BTC long term futures fell below the $100K level but are still holding above the $90K. Futures maturing in December this year closed the week at $88.500, which was a drop of around 1% w/w, while futures maturing in December 2026 were last traded at $97.570 or 0,44% lower w/w. ETH futures had a higher drop on a weekly basis, of more than 5%. In this sense, futures maturing in December 2025 achieved the last price at $1.983, and those maturing in December 2026 ended the week at $2.133.

Bitcoin Breakout Confirmed, Aiming for $160K Chart Analysis: Bitcoin has just confirmed a major breakout above a key resistance zone, signaling a strong bullish continuation. Let’s dive into the details: 1.Ascending Triangle Breakout: BTCUSD had been consolidating within an ascending triangle pattern since late 2024, with the upper resistance around $80,000 and a rising support trendline (highlighted in yellow). The breakout above $80,000 on strong volume confirms the bullish pattern, which is typically a precursor to significant upward moves. 2. Accumulation Zone: Before the breakout, Bitcoin spent several months in an accumulation zone between $53,837 and $80,000. This phase allowed buyers to build positions, setting the foundation for the current rally. 3.Price Targets: The measured move of the ascending triangle (height of the pattern) projects a target around $160,000. The height of the triangle is approximately $26,163 (from the base at $53,837 to the resistance at $80,000). Adding this to the breakout point ($80,000 + $26,163) gives a target of ~$106,163. However, considering Bitcoin’s historical tendency to overshoot during bull runs and the psychological significance of $160,000 (as noted on the chart), this level seems like a realistic target. 4. Support Levels: The previous resistance at $80,000 now acts as strong support. If BTC pulls back, this level should hold to maintain the bullish structure. Additional support lies around $70,000, aligning with the lower boundary of the recent consolidation range. 5. Momentum Indicators: While the chart doesn’t display specific indicators like RSI or MACD, the sharp upward move suggests strong momentum. Traders should monitor for overbought conditions on RSI (above 70) as BTC approaches higher levels, which could indicate a potential pullback. Trade Idea: Entry: Current price around $84,599.61 (post-breakout confirmation). Stop Loss: Below $78,000 (to account for minor pullbacks while staying above the breakout zone). Take Profit: $160,000 (primary target based on the pattern projection and psychological level). Risk/Reward Ratio: Approximately 1:12, making this a high-probability setup. Key Levels to Watch: Resistance: $100,000 (psychological), $120,000, $160,000 (target). Support: $80,000 (new support), $70,000 (secondary support). Market Context: Bitcoin’s breakout aligns with a broader crypto market uptrend, potentially fueled by positive fundamentals such as institutional adoption, favorable regulatory developments, or macroeconomic factors like inflation concerns driving demand for BTC as a store of value. Ethereum’s recent breakout (as seen in similar charts) also supports the bullish sentiment across the crypto market. Conclusion: BTCUSD has broken out of a multi-month consolidation pattern, confirming a bullish trend with a target of $160,000. The $80,000 level should now act as strong support, and any pullbacks to this zone could offer additional buying opportunities. Stay cautious of overbought conditions as BTC approaches higher resistance levels. Let’s see how far this rally can go!

Buy BTC,it still has the potential to reboundBTC experienced a sharp short-term decline, breaking lower; however, the downward momentum has significantly slowed. Importantly, the recent pullback has not disrupted the broader upward consolidation structure, with the 84500-83500 zone continuing to provide strong support. Once the bearish sentiment fully subsides, I anticipate a relief rally or a technical rebound. Therefore, this pullback could present an excellent opportunity to go long on BTC. Consider entering long positions around the 84500-83500 support zone, targeting an initial upside move toward the 86000-86500 range.

MARKETS week ahead: March 24 – 30Last week in the news The Fed held interest rates unchanged during their FOMC meeting held the previous week, and stuck to its previous plan of two rate cuts during the course of this year. Still, uncertainties regarding moves from the US Administration are strongly interfering investors decisions, in which sense, markets are still in a wait-and-see mood. The S&P 500 modestly gained during the week, ending it at the level of 5.667. The US Treasury yields remained relatively quiet, finishing the week at 4,25%. The price of gold reached a fresh, new all time highest level at $3.050. The crypto market was also traded in a mixed mood, with BTC ending the week above the $84K. The most important event during the previous week was the FOMC meeting. Fed officials decided to leave interest rates unchanged, as was highly expected by market participants. Current economic sentiment, under the influence of trade tariffs are perceived as “uncertainty around the economic outlook has increased” so the risks have aroused around both sides of Fed's dual mandate. The GDP projection for this year was corrected by 0,4% to the level of 1,7%. Despite uncertainties, the Fed is still on the track of a 0,5 percentage point decrease in interest rates during this year, which would account for two rate cuts. The Fed noted in its policy statement rising uncertainties around economic outlook caused by radical decisions of the new US Administration, while companies are starting to project their corrected earnings and growth for the future period. In this sense a company Nike noted expectations on decreased earnings originating from drop in sales due to trade tariffs. Shares of a consulting firm Accenture dropped by 7,3%, affected by the measures taken by the US DOGE amid cuts in spending. Some good news for Ripple and its four years long battle with the SEC. As per news officially posted during the previous week, the SEC officially dropped the lawsuit against Ripple over its XRP token. As this was positive news, XRP coin jumped in value by 11%. During the previous week Reuters published the news that the United Arab Emirates committed to the US Government to make $1,4 trillion investments into the US economy. The investments would be in the field of AI infrastructure, semiconductors industry, energy and local manufacturing. The investment is set for a period of next 10 years. MicroStrategy finalized the sale of a series of preferred stocks, in total value of $711M. The fresh funds will be used for purchase of BTC, and is expected that the company will then hold a total 500.000 BTC tokens. Crypto market cap The uncertainty is currently the main word on financial markets, which influence the sentiment of investors. After turbulent last few weeks, the crypto market relatively calmed down. During the previous week, it was traded in a relatively shorter range, with almost equal number of altcoins with both positive and negative end of the week. Total crypto market capitalization remained flat during the previous week, with an modest outflow of $ 10B on a weekly basis. Daily trading volumes were further decreased to the level of around $92B on a daily basis, from $102B traded a week before. Total crypto market increase from the beginning of this year, currently stands at -16%, with $520B outflow of funds. Regardless of short move toward the higher ground, BTC ended the week flat on a weekly basis, without a significant change in its market cap. On the opposite side was ETH, who managed to modestly increase its value by 2,3%, adding $5,5B to its capitalization. Other altcoins were traded in a mixed manner. On a positive territory was EOS, with a weekly gain of almost 9%, Tron was traded higher by 5,8% w/w and Maker was higher by 3% on a weekly basis. Uniswap gained the most with an increase of more than 12% in value. Market favorite Solana dropped in value by 4,3%, losing $ 3B in cap. ADA was down by 6%, erasing $1,6B in its value. The highest weekly move in circulating coins had Uniswap, who not only increased its market cap by 12%, but also increased circulating coins by 4,6%. This was one of the largest increases of circulating coins for Uniswap in the recent period. IOTA also had an increase in coins on the market by 0,5% w/w, while Solana`s number of coins surged by 0,2%, same as Algorand and Filecoin. Crypto futures market The crypto futures market was aligned with the spot market during the previous week. BTC futures were traded lower by more than 1% on a weekly basis. BTC futures maturing in December this year ended the week at the level of $89.355, while December 2026 was last traded at $98.005. ETH futures ended the week in a positive territory, around 2% higher from the end of the previous week.

MARKETS week ahead: March 17 – 23Last week in the news Tariffs-on, tariffs-off continues to shape market sentiment. The US equity markets tried to cover some weekly losses, where S&P 500 ended the week at the level of 5.638, after the index reached its lowest weekly level at 5.508. Considering uncertainty, the price of gold reached another all time highest level at $3K. The US Dollar continues to lose in strength, while US Treasuries are digesting latest inflation data and Michigan Consumer Sentiment with higher inflation expectations. The 10Y US benchmark is ending the week at the level 4,32% and is preparing for the forthcoming FOMC meeting on March 19th. The crypto market had a mixed week, with a lower start and an attempt to close the week higher. BTC passed the $80K resistance, ending the week above the $84K. The US inflation data for February was in the spotlight of the market during the previous week. Inflation of 0,2% for the month was in line with market expectations, bringing the inflation to the level of 2,8% when compared to the previous year. On a positive side were also jobs figures, where a total of 7,74M new jobs were opened in February, above market expectations of 7,63M. However, surprising figures came from the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment index, which was much lower from the market forecast. Preliminary figure for March was standing at 57,9, lower from estimated 64,7. At the same time, inflation expectations were increased to the level of 4,9%. The FOMC rate decision is scheduled for March 19th, when Fed officials will also discuss the current market conditions and forecasts. The integration of the crypto market into the mainstream markets continues through new exchange traded funds, which large investment fund managers are currently filling for with the SEC. As per news published during the previous week, VanEck, a large US investment firm, has filed with SEC a launch of the exchange traded fund which will follow the Avalanche avax coin. Previously, Franklin Templeton, another investment firm, filed a launch of the ETF which will follow the price of XRP, while in February this year, the fund also filed a launch of an ETF following Solana`s spot price. BTC related convertible bonds are now available to retail investors through the REX exchange traded fund. The convertible bonds of Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy represent the majority of funds assets. Other holdings include convertible bonds from several crypto miners. The REX ETF was launched on NASDAQ (BMAX), with 0,85% expense ratio and total AUM of $25M. Crypto market cap Tariffs-on, tariffs-off were the major driver of the sentiment on financial markets during the previous period. The crypto market was also driven by the generally negative mood of investors which were trying to position for the uncertain future developments. The fear of potential negative effects of imposed tariffs is embedded into current positioning of investors. The crypto market continued with the downtrend during the start of the previous week, but then tried to recover as the week passed on. Total crypto market capitalization decreased by a modest 2% on a weekly basis, losing total $50B in value. Daily trading volumes were also modestly increased to the level of $129B on a daily basis, a shy increase from around $102B traded a week before. Total crypto market increase from the beginning of this year, currently stands at -16%, with $510B outflow of funds. The crypto market was traded in a mixed manner during the previous week. Some altcoins managed to recover from losses incurred from the start of the week. In this sense, BTC managed to close the week in a red territory with a minor loss of around 1,5% on a weekly basis, where its total cap was decreased by $25B. ETH had a stronger weekly loss of more than 10%, where $ 26B was wiped out in its market value. Polygon and Uniswap were both down by around 10% in value during the week, while Algorand and Maker ended the week more than 8% lower.

MARKETS week ahead: March 10 – 16Last week in the news The February US NFP data were below market expectations, however, the market sentiment is still highly under the influence of US trade tariffs. The US equity market had a correction during the previous week, with S&P 500 closing the week at the level of 5.770. The weakening of the US Dollar stopped further surge in the price of gold, but it still ended the week with a weekly gain, reaching the level of $2.909. The US Treasury yields reversed after reaching the lowest weekly level at 4,1%, ending the week at 4,30%. BTC is still in a roller coaster mood, testing the $90K, but still ending the week around the $86K. The US Nonfarm payrolls data for February came a bit lower from the market forecast. The US economy added 151K new jobs, while the market was expecting to see a figure of around 170K. At the same time, the unemployment rate for February was modestly increased to the level of 4,1%, from 4,0% posted previously. Regardless of a weaker than expected jobs data in February, the major concern of investors continues to be trade tariffs of the US Administration toward the main trading partners, including Mexico, Canada, China and the European Union. The trade war started by the US Administration is spilling its effects on other countries. As per latest news, China is planning to impose sanctions on some Canadian goods, including agriculture and oil products, from 100% to 25%, depending on the goods. Tariffs are scheduled to come into force on March 20th. At the same time, Canada imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, which came into force in October last year. “We do not need to be in a hurry, and are well positioned to wait for greater clarity” said Fed Chair Powell at a Policy forum during the previous week. This comment was made on the latest trade tariffs of the US Administration, noting that the combination of measures in the sphere of tariffs, immigration, fiscal policy and regulation will have a combined effect on the US economy. During the previous week, the US President signed an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a US Digital Asset Stockpile. The BTC market had only a mild reaction to this news. UBS analysts are noting in their research that China might experience its own “GPT moment”. They noted that Chinese start-ups are rapidly innovating and integrating AI technology. The bank emphasized a product called Monica.ai Manus as a standout example of a program capable of doing many tasks including data analysis and coding. Crypto market cap The crypto market was following general sentiment on financial markets during the previous week. The correlation with the US equity market continues as the crypto market entered the mainstream. The US President signed the executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, however, the market reaction was relatively mild. Total crypto market capitalization remained relatively flat during the previous week, regardless of a higher volatility within the week. Daily trading volumes were also relatively flat compared to the week before. Total crypto market increase from the beginning of this year, currently stands at -14%, with $460B outflow of funds. BTC had a relatively volatile week, however, it managed to close the previous week relatively flat compared to the week before. ETH had a modest drop in the market cap of 2,2%, with an outflow of $ 6B in funds. Other major altcoins also had a relatively negative week. DOGE was traded down by 8,4%, decreasing its total market cap by $2B. Solana had also a modest drop of 2,3% w/w, decreasing its cap by $1,6B. BNB was down by 3%, with a decrease in the value of $1,6B. On the opposite side was ADA, who managed to end the week in positive territory, with a surge in value of 22% or $5,1B. Tron also had a good week, increasing its value by 13,6%, or $2,7B. Other altocins were traded in a mixed manner. During the previous week Tron had an increase in the market value, but it also increased its coins in circulation by 10% on a weekly basis. This was one of the highest weekly increases for this coin. Stablecoin Tether is back on a positive territory, with an increase of circulating coins of 0,3% this week. Solana and IOTA also had an increase in the number of coins on the market by 0,3% each. Crypto futures market The general market sentiment impacted the crypto futures market to trade in a mixed manner during the previous week. Although BTCs spot market remained flat, still, its futures market gained above 3% for all maturities. In this sense, futures maturing in December this year closed the week at $93.550 and those maturing a year later were last traded at $101.800. On the opposite side were ETH futures which closed the week around 3% lower from the week before. Futures maturing in December this year were last traded around 3,2% lower, at $2.298.

Bitcoin Goes "Red Days Again" since "Relief Rally" Has Been NullBitcoin's price has experienced significant fluctuations over last "Intl Women's Day" weekend, reflecting the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market. To understand these movements, it's essential to consider both the broader economic context and specific events that have influenced investor sentiment. Background: Economic and Political Factors In recent weeks, Bitcoin's price has been heavily influenced by economic indicators and political announcements. The U.S. Federal Reserve's stance on interest rates, particularly comments from Jerome Powell, has been closely watched by investors. Political factors have also played a crucial role. For instance, Donald Trump's re-election and his proposals related to cryptocurrency, including the creation of a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve," have contributed to market optimism and price increases. However, these developments also introduce uncertainty, as regulatory environments and geopolitical tensions can quickly shift investor confidence. Recent Price Movements As of the last weekend, Bitcoin's price has shown a decline of nearly 5%. This decrease is part of a larger trend where Bitcoin's price has struggled to maintain consistent gains, often experiencing sharp drops followed by rebounds. For example, on March 9, 2025, Bitcoin's price was noted to be choppy, trading around $81,500. Bitcoin's price initially dropped but then rebounded slightly. This rebound was likely driven by renewed optimism in the altcoin market and strategic purchases by entities like Metaplanet, which has been actively buying Bitcoin. However, the overall sentiment remains cautious due to ongoing economic uncertainties and the potential for further interest rate hikes. Key Events Influencing Price Mt. Gox Bitcoin Movement: The recent transfer of over $1 billion worth of Bitcoin from Mt. Gox to an unmarked address has raised concerns about potential market impact. Such large movements can lead to increased volatility as investors speculate about the intentions behind these transactions. Regulatory and ETF Developments: The ongoing efforts to establish a U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF have seen mixed results, with periods of significant outflows followed by brief moments of positive inflows. These developments can influence investor confidence and, consequently, Bitcoin's price. Global Economic Conditions: Trade tensions and economic stimulus measures, particularly those involving China, have also played a role in shaping Bitcoin's price. As investors seek safe-haven assets, Bitcoin's performance relative to traditional assets like gold can impact its value. Technical challenge The fluctuations in Bitcoin's price over the last weekend reflect the complex interplay of economic, political, and market-specific factors. As investors continue to navigate these uncertainties, Bitcoin's price is likely to remain volatile. The influence of major economic data releases, political announcements, and strategic investments will continue to shape the cryptocurrency's trajectory in the coming days and weeks. The main technical 1-day resolution graph indicates that Bitcoin Goes "Red Days Again" since recent "relief rally" has been Null. Ahead of upcoing week our "super-duper" @PandorraResearch Team is Bearishly calling to numbers between $30 000 to $50 000 per Bitcoin, that is correspond to major current support of 200-week SMA. Conclusion In summary, Bitcoin's price movements are a testament to the dynamic and speculative nature of the cryptocurrency market, where sentiment can shift rapidly based on a wide array of factors. As the market continues to evolve, understanding these influences will be crucial for investors seeking to navigate the volatile landscape of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. -- Best 'Jojoba oil' wishes, @PandorraResearch Team 😎

MARKETS week ahead: March 2 – 8Last week in the news Markets continue to be in an uncertain mood, impacted by geopolitics, trade tariffs, inflation and interest rate levels. A major correction occurred during the previous week, where the majority of financial assets ended the week with a stronger weekly loss. The US equity markets finished the week in red, with S&P 500 losing 1,4% since the beginning of February, ending the month at the level of 5.954. Funds from equity markets fled toward the US Treasury bonds, where the 10Y US benchmark reached the 4,2% level. Although the US Dollar modestly gained in strength, still, the price of gold entered into a major short term correction, reaching the level of $2.856. As BTC is now part of the mainstream, a major break toward the downside occurred on the same grounds as with other financial assets. BTC shortly touched the $78K, but ended the week around the $85K resistance line. The major macro data for the US released during the previous week was the PCE data for January, however, were left in a shadow of geopolitical developments. The Fed's favorite inflation gauge came with no significant surprises from market expectations. The PCE was increased by 0,3% in January, leading to yearly increase of 2,5%. The core PCE was also at the level of 0,3% for the month. The personal income was higher by 0,9% for the month and personal expenditures decreased by -0,2% in January, compared to the previous month. These figures were in line with market expectation, in which sense, there has not been much market movements on the release of data. However, the stronger impact came from geopolitics. Recently the word “tariffs” became the spookiest word on financial markets. Although it is still unclear whether the US Administration will indeed introduce trade tariffs toward Canada, Mexico, China and Europe, markets are strongly reacting to any news related to this topic. During the previous week, Reuters published the news. Officials from Mexico proposed to introduce a 10% import tariffs on goods from China in order to match the US tariffs. At the same time, the US President noted that he might double current tariffs to China, which means a total of 20% tariffs on imported goods from China. The Intel company was in the spotlight of the market during the previous year, when the company missed the opportunity to catch up with the increasing AI demand, causing its shares to suffer almost 60% loss in value. Since then the company is trying to correct the past mistake, with plans to open a chip manufacturing facility in Ohio. However, the latest news is showing a potential delay in construction, so that a $100 billion complex would most probably start operating in 2030. Amid pre-election promises, the US President Donald Trump will host the first crypto roundtable at the White House on March 7th. As noted in the White House release, “attendees will include prominent founders, CEOs and investors from the crypto industry, as well as members of the President's Working Group on digital Assets”. Crypto market cap A major break toward the downside occurred during the previous week. Although, charts look painful with such a significant drop, still, for the crypto market historically it represents necessary consolidation for the future move toward the upside. These situations occur several times in the past, and will most certainly, occur also in the future period. The most important is that the crypto market managed to become part of mainstream markets, which was the historical win for the crypto market. However, it also means that the crypto market will react to any news which affects the traditional mainstream markets. This is exactly what happened during the previous week, where the total crypto market capitalization decreased by additional 12% on a weekly basis, erasing a total $370B from its market cap. Daily trading volumes also decreased to the level of $144B on a daily basis, from $239B traded a week before. Total crypto market increase from the beginning of this year, currently stands at -14%, with $450B outflow of funds. During the previous week the majority of crypto coins lost in value, only a few managed to finish the week in green. BTCs value significantly dropped during the week, where the largest crypto coin lost over $216B in value, decreasing its market cap by 11,3%. For BTC, this represents a significant correction. ETH was also in the red group, with a loss of $ 68B or even 20,5% w/w, which is also a significant correction for this coin. Among market favourites, Solana dropped its market cap by almost $ 13B or 15,3%, BNB was down by $ 9B or 9,3%, DOGE lost more than $ 6B in value or 16,8% and XRP was down by 13% losing $19,7B in value of its market cap. At the same time, two coins which actually managed to post a significant increase in value were ZCash with an weekly increase in value of 10,6% and Maker who managed to add almost 8% to its value. There has also been an increased development when coins in circulation are in question. In this sense, Solana had a weekly increase of 3,9% of new coins on the market. Filecoin continues to increase its circulating coins each week, adding this time 0,6% of new coins. Crypto futures market In line with the spot market developments, the crypto futures market also experienced some major correction during the previous week. Both BTC and ETH futures were traded significantly lower compared to the week before. BTC futures ended the week above 11% lower for all maturities. There has also been some significant correction for longer term futures, which all dropped below the $100K target. In this sense, futures maturing in December this year closed the week at $90.650, and those maturing a year later were last traded at $98.695. Similar situation was with ETH futures who ended the week by more than 15% lower, dropping below the $3K target for longer maturities. ETH futures maturing in December this year closed the week at $2.374, and those maturing in December 2026 were last traded at $2.540.

MARKETS week ahead: February 23 – March 1Last week in the news There are currently several words which shape investors sentiment, including trade tariffs, inflation, slower economic growth. All three words are active for come time, which impact market moves during the previous week. Fears of inflation, after a release of Michigan Consumer Sentiment on Friday, pushed the US equities strongly toward the downside. The S&P 500 dropped by 1,7% within a day, after reaching the new all time highest level. The index closed the week at the level of 6. 013. Investors were looking more at the safe-haven assets, in which sense, the price of gold again reached the new highest level at 2.954, while the 10Y US Treasury benchmark sharply dropped to the level of 4,43%. The crypto market was a bit traded aside, where BTC continues to move within a channel between $ 96K-$ 98K levels. The Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index final for February was the one that shook the markets. Surprisingly lower data from estimated, were the ones which supported investors fears from future inflation. The Index level of 64,7 was lower from expected 67,8. On the other hand, inflation expectation data were the ones that surprised investors. Namely, US consumers are expecting inflation at the levels of 4,3%, while five years inflation expectations were increased to the level of 3,5% from 3,2% posted during previous releases. Investors were not at all happy with such inflation development, not even as an expectation, which showed by a significant drop in US equity indexes. A lot of news attention during the previous week was on the earnings report of Berkshire Hathaway. The most famous investor on the market, Warren Buffet had stockpiled more cash for another quarter through sale of stocks. As per reports, its cash position currently stands at $334B. Regardless of this move, the Buffet noted that Berkshire Hathaway will always prefer stocks over cash, without too much further explanation. During his previous comments, he sort of criticized the market, calling it too expensive at this moment and only a few buying opportunities. Nevertheless, shares of Berkshire Hathaway continue to gain in value, adding 5% from the start of this year. At the same time, Reuters reported that Buffets company will most probably increase stake in five Japanese trading houses, which he currently holds in portfolio, including Itochu, Marubeni, Mitsubishi, Mitsui and Sumitomo. As of the week-end a news hit the market that crypto exchanger Bybit was under a huge cyber attack, where estimated, $1,5 billion worth of ether was stolen. As news is reporting, an entity from North Korea was suspected. The stolen coins were then transferred into BTC. Although Bybit reacted promptly, still, the exchanger faced significant withdrawal requests from its clients. Crypto market cap There was another volatile week on the crypto market. After significant gains two weeks ago, the previous week was in a mood of corrections. The crypto coins were traded in a mixed manner. There were almost equal numbers of both coins which finished the week in red and in green. However, total crypto market capitalization decreased by 1% on a weekly level, losing total $30B in value. Daily trading volumes were modestly increased to the level of $239B on a daily basis, from $170B traded two weeks ago. Total crypto market increase from the beginning of this year, currently stands at -2%, with $80B outflow of funds. Despite the both winners and losers during the week, still, the crypto market ended the week with a total loss of $30B on a weekly basis. The coin with highest participation, BTC, was traded modestly down by 0,9%, losing total $17B in value. On the opposite side was ETH, who managed to gain $ 10B in value, increasing it by 3,2% w/w. Other significant movers in nominal terms were XRP, which was traded down by 6%, dropping its market cap by $9,8B. Solana was also traded lower, dropping by 10,7% w/w or $10,1B. Another coins with significant drop was DOGE, who managed to decrease its cap by $ 4B or 9,9%. Among gainers Maker should be especially mentioned, as this coin increased its value by 55% within a single week. At the same time, this coin increased the number of its coins in circulation by 1,9%. Several of other weekly winners were ZCash, with a surge of 7,9% w/w, while a portion of other smaller altcoins managed to gain below 1% on a weekly level. When coins in circulation are in question, Maker was already mentioned with its increase of 1,9%. At the same time, ZCash decreased its circulating coins by 2,7%. Filecoin added 0,8% of new coins to the market, while IOTAs increase was 0,6%. Crypto futures market The crypto futures market was traded lower compared to the end of the previous week. BTC futures were traded around 3% lower, while ETH futures ended the week around 4% lower. BTC futures maturing in December this year closed the week at the level of $101.875, and those maturing a year later at the level of $111.380. Despite the drop, it is still positive that investors are perceiving the BTC price at levels higher from $100K in the future period. ETH futures maturing in December 2025 were last traded at the level of $2.807, and those maturing in December 2026 closed the trading week at $3.017.

Where is ALT season ? Narket Cap Data shows clear direction It is a question that has been asked for a while now. What on earth has happened to the Fabled ALT Season ? The Time of Quick and Fast earnings on ALT coins. Market Cap data shows us very clearly how Bitcoin alone is responsible for the lack of ALT Season so far. In summery we see that, using the Market Cap charts, the recent pull backs since December 2024, Bitcoin has pulled back a lot less than the others and that ETH is a big losser here also. Pull back %'s in Crypto Market Caps TOTAL = - 15.51% TOTAL 2 = -25.98 % ( Excluding BTC ) TOTAL 3 = -22.61 % ( Excluding BTC % ETH ) OTHERS = - 40.57% ( Top 125 coins minus top 10 by Dominacne ) We can see from the difference between the TOTAL 2 and TOTAL 3 charts how ETH is responsible for a 3% Drop in the TOTAL market cap ...Thats a Big amount for one single coin. We can also see how the Biggest Loosers so far this cycle are the Mid Cap ALT coins. The Big question now is, will They recover and will we get an ALT Season ? Lets Look at the charts to see where we are TOTAL Crypto Market Cap PA is above Support, back in the Green zone and with room to move before resistance needs to be broken TOTAL 2 Crypto Market Cap In trouble. Below Resistance in two places. There is currently a push up and PA is about to hit that line od resistance. We will know in the next few days the outcome of this. ETH needs to show strength here to help support the idea of an ALT Season TOTAL 3 Crypto Market Cap The ALTS themselves are in an area that has Support below but are about to hit resistance. However, there is strength there as we can see PA broke out of the rannge at one point but the market pulled back and took them with it. this chart shows us ALL the Alts and is very likely supported by the Huge impact of the Meme craze and Solana. As was mentioned above, This was a smaller pullback than the ETH & ALT chart above. OTHERS Crypto Market Cap This is the chart that surprises me the most. The well know Mid Cap Alts took the biggest hit since December 2024 - Nearly double the losses of the Total 3 ALT market - Could this also be showing us that ALTS on the ETH network were liable to bigger losses. ? Coins like AVAX, LINK etc PA here has just bounced off support but has run straight into resistance. This really Needs to break through as Sentiment needs to be improved. But the BIGGEST thing that needs to break, to allow an ALT SEASON is of course, Bitcoin Dominance. BTC.D ALT seasons are in the times after Bitcoin Halving when BTC Dominance Drops and money flowed into ALTS> But these days, Corporation and institutions are buying Bitcoin and HOLDING, as are the sensible little people like you and me. You can see this Very clearly on the chart - BTC.D just cntinues to climb. So where is the money for ALT season going to come from ? The proposed increase of ETF's on ALT coins could push this in a very selected way. i.e. the proposed Litecoin ( THE original ALT COIN ) has been trying to push the price of LTC higher. XRP is another But this is NOT the ALT Season we all expereinced in previous cycles and, infact, if you look close, you will see that ALT season has been getting smaller and smaller. It was once said that Crpyto was a bubble that Will burst like the Dot Com bubble........and I think we may see this......the rubbish ALT coins falling away and the BTC and utility ALTs coming through. But no ALT Season as we once knew...........OR WILL TRUMP MAKE IT HAPPEN ? Only time will tell

MARKETS week ahead: February 17 – 23Last week in the news Fed Chair Powell’s testimony in front of the US Congress, US inflation data in January and Retail Sales were the main topics which shaped the market sentiment during the previous week. The US Dollar lost some of its strength, but the price of Gold also eased by 1% at Friday's trading season, following the profit-taking. The positive sentiment on the US equity markets was back, where S&P 500 almost reached its all time highest level, ending the week at 6.114. The US Treasury yields reacted on January inflation data and significant drop in retail sales in January, bringing down the 10Y Treasury yields toward the 4,47%. Many concerns of investors put aside the crypto market, where since the beginning of February BTC continues to trade in a channel between the $ 98K and $95K. At the beginning of the previous week markets were closely watching Fed Chair Powells testimony in front of the US congress. The key takeaways from a two days Congressional hearing include points that Fed is not in a hurry to cut interest rates and that the Fed's policy will not be impacted by the US Administration, alluding to a question regarding US President request for immediate cut of interest rates. Generally, there was no new significant information which was not previously communicated with the public. As for macro data during the previous week, the US January inflation data surprised markets with a 0,5% increase for the month, higher from forecasted 0,3%. The PPI also rose 0,4% in January, again higher from market estimate. Still, the retail sales of -0,9% improved market mood, with a figure much higher from market estimate of -0,1%. This was a signal that the current inflation level might not impact too much Fed's decisions over future course of interest rates. During the previous week markets were talking about the final payout of the fallen crypto exchange FTX during the week ahead. This represents a part of FTX restructuring program, where first in line will be claims up to $50.000. Analysts are providing their assumption over its potential impact on crypto markets and specific tokens, however, there are also those who anticipate that this payout will not have a significant impact on the price of major crypto coins. A lot of news covered the bid of Elon Musk for purchase of Open AI. He offered a figure of $97,4 billion for shares of Open AI in case that this company stays non-profitable. The latest news published by Reuters on Friday states that OpenAI rejected the bid from Elon Musk, noting that the company is not for sale and that any future bid will be also rejected. Crypto market cap After almost three consecutive weeks in red, the crypto market finally ended the week in green. However, it could be noted that the volatility with altcoins run at relatively higher levels during the past few weeks. At the same time, BTC remained volatile within the channel between levels of $ 98K and $95K from the beginning of February. Whether the final break is ahead is about to be seen, still, the total crypto market capitalization managed to recover a bit during the previous week, but it still holds in a -2% negative territory from the beginning of this year. During the previous week, total crypto market capitalization increased by 2% on a weekly basis, adding $ 70B to the total market cap. Daily trading volumes dropped a bit from the week earlier, to the level of $170B on a daily basis. Total crypto market increase from the beginning of this year, currently stands at -2%, with $50B outflow of funds. It was a volatile week, but with a positive end. BTC gained $ 23B on a weekly basis increasing its cap by 1,2%. ETH also had a modest increase in capitalization of almost $ 8B or 2,5%. Altcoins were the ones which drove market capitalization to the higher grounds. DOGE was traded higher by 9%, adding more than $ 3B to its market cap, same as ADA, which increased its value by 12,7%. This week BNB managed to add almost $ 5B to its market cap, increasing it by 5,4%. Among higher gainers was for one more time XRP, with an astonishing increase in market cap of $ 20B or 14,5%. Litecoin should be mentioned as the coin had a very good week, where it added $ 2B to its market cap, which was an increase of 25,5%. The majority of other altcoins managed to add up to 10% to their market value. When it comes to circulating coins, it was one of relatively calmer weeks. Tether added 0,2% of new coins to the market, increasing by this percentage its market capitalization. Polkadot decreased the number of coins on the market by 0,4%, while Filecoin had an increase of 0,6%. The majority of other coins had an increase of 0,1% or less of their coins on the market. Crypto futures market The crypto futures had finally one green trading week. BTC futures were higher by around 1,6% for all maturities. Futures maturing in December this year were last traded at the price of $105.185, while those maturing a year later closed the week at $114.370. ETH futures had a higher rebound of approximately 5,4% for all maturities. In this sense, December 2025 was closed at the level of $2.914, and maturities in December 2026 were last traded at $3.131. It is positive that the ETH long term futures were back for one more time at levels above the $3K.

MARKETS week ahead: February 10 – 16Last week in the news The US jobs data posted on Friday increased investors' concerns over a potential increased inflation in the US in the coming period. The US equity markets reacted with a negative sentiment, pushing the S&P 500 0,95% to the lower grounds, where the index ended the week at the level of 6.025. The US Treasury yields also reacted to the potential increase in inflation by reaching for one more time levels of 4,5%. The price of gold continues its positive track for the six consecutive weeks, reaching a fresh new all time highest level at $2.860, still fearing trade tariffs imposed by the US Administration. The crypto market was quite volatile during the week, with BTC dropping down to the levels of $96K. The main macro data released during the previous week were the ones related to the US jobs market. The non-farm payrolls reached 143K in January, which was lower from the market estimate of 170K. Still, the main concern related to inflation came from the unemployment rate of 4,0% in January, which was lower by 0,1 percentage point from December and from average hourly earnings which came at the level of 0,5% increase for the month, and higher from market estimate. Although all these figures are positive for the US economy, markets were not happy. Simply, by calculating that higher employment in combination with higher earnings will push the spending higher as well as inflation. In this scenario, the Fed will have no options to decrease interest rates, which will be held at current levels for a longer period of time. The S&P 500 ended Friday trading session by 0,95% lower, while US 10Y Treasury yields reached 4,5% on the data release. The AI race continues among tech companies. As per published news, Meta, Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft are planning to invest $320 billion into artificial intelligence only during this year. These funds will be used to build up large data centers and other AI related infrastructure, which will support further development of the AI segment in these companies. Not only big techs are in the race for AI. As per news, SoftBank will invest $ 40B, with $260B valuation, into Open AI. Part of these funds will be used to further support the Stargete, a partnership project with Oracle. The new US Administration is evidently bringing back large companies back to the US. The latest one which announced its return of focus toward the US market is a beauty-company L`Oreal. The company was a bit disappointed with its sale on the China market, in which sense, defined the US “as the land of opportunity”, switching back their focus from China to the US market. Crypto market cap The start of the previous week was promising, however, the second part of the week was not so nice for the crypto market. The US jobs data was the one to heat inflation fears, in which sense, investors reacted in a negative manner. All crypto coins ended the week in red, with BTC leading the drop in the crypto market capitalization in nominal terms. This week, there was a huge drop in the value of the crypto market, where $260B or 8% of the market capitalization was erased. Daily trading volumes remained almost flat in relation to the week before, moving around $ 230B on a daily basis.
