The GENIUS Act: A Historic Breakthrough in Stablecoin RegulationIn the fast-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, stablecoins have carved out a unique role, acting as a bridge between digital assets and traditional finance. Until recently, however, the regulatory framework for these instruments remained fragmented and unclear. The adoption of the GENIUS Act marks the first major step toward establishing a coherent regulatory system for stablecoins in the United States — an event already being hailed as a historic breakthrough. What Is the GENIUS Act? The GENIUS Act (short for "Guaranteeing Effective National Incorporation of Ubiquitous Stablecoins") is a legislative initiative designed to set clear rules for the issuance, backing, and circulation of stablecoins. Its primary goal is to ensure transparency, stability, and security for users, investors, and financial institutions engaging with these digital assets. The bill has received bipartisan support, demonstrating a broad political consensus on the need to bring order and trust to the digital asset market. Why Is It a Breakthrough? Before the GENIUS Act, the legal status of stablecoins existed in a regulatory "gray area." Issuing companies often faced uncertainty: were they subject to banking laws, SEC oversight, or fintech regulations? This ambiguity led to high-profile lawsuits, account freezes, and declining institutional trust. The GENIUS Act introduces: A licensing framework for stablecoin issuers, requiring 100% reserves in fiat currency or secure liquid assets Mandatory audit and reporting standards, including independent verification and public disclosures Clear separation between fiat-backed and algorithmic stablecoins, acknowledging their different risk profiles Mechanisms for coordination with the Federal Reserve, paving the way for stablecoin integration into the broader financial infrastructure Impact on the Market The passage of the GENIUS Act has already had a ripple effect. Major issuers like Circle (USDC) and Paxos have expressed their readiness to comply with the new standards. Meanwhile, less transparent players are beginning to lose market share. Institutional investors — including banks and asset managers — are increasingly viewing stablecoins as a reliable instrument for payments and capital storage. This growing confidence could be the key to the mass adoption of Web3 apps, decentralized finance (DeFi), and digital commerce. Global Significance The GENIUS Act also sets a precedent for other countries. Just as the U.S. once led the way in traditional financial regulation, it is now establishing benchmarks for digital assets. The EU, UK, Singapore, and others are closely analyzing the bill’s elements for adoption in their own jurisdictions. Conclusion The passage of the GENIUS Act represents a historic step toward crypto market maturity. It not only eliminates regulatory uncertainty but also lays the groundwork for sustainable digital economic growth. For the first time, stablecoins have a clear, institutionally recognized legal status — marking the transition from chaotic innovation to structured trust.

Crude Oil - Two Scenarios and about Brain PowerPrice retests the L-MLH. VI. - Price breaks upward, target is the centerline VII. - Price reverses again, then the target is the 1/4 line, with a subsequent extended target at the red centerline, and possibly even lower at the white dashed warning line. On a personal note: I was once again told that the price didn’t do what I had projected. ...yeah, really, that’s how it is §8-) After over 30 years in the markets and hundreds of coaching sessions, I’m still amazed that people think you can predict price movements as if with a magic crystal ball. The fact that this belief still persists (even though they don’t understand even the absolute basics of trading) deeply concerns me at the core of my trading soul. Because this growing irrationality clearly indicates that far too little is being done in terms of education – or humanity might simply go extinct in the next 100 years due to rapidly declining intelligence! ...maybe I should just create a chart and apply a few median lines/forks? Happy trading to all of you and I pray for those with lesser brain power.

USFD – US Foods has reached its zenithIn 2020, we had the action, and since 2024 the market's reaction. Just as Newton describes the universal law of Action/Reaction. However, we see that USFD has reached the centerline of the white Fork, which coincides with the reaction high and the upper median line (U-MLH) of the yellow fork! There is not much more to say about it. It's a clear Short to me, and the target are always the Forks and the A/R lines. And if you have enough fantasy, GAP's are always get filled.... ...they say.

BTC log pitchfork (re-up)the BTC Log scale Pitchfork shows perfect Fib levels being respected. I don't know what it means or how to interpret this, no price target or direction from this, but the levels seem significant so I'm just noticing and playing the levels being held. All I know is buy the yellow the line (SMA40), and I drew the next lower pitchfork levels according to proportions. Also, last season's ATH is always the next bearmarket season's bottom. When in doubt, zoom out.

DAX Take 1 Part 2 – Reloaded but not yet good to goThe first time, we saw the DAX poke the 1/4 line. This was followed by several attempts (distribution by the big players), and from that point on, it headed south and the DAX rolled down the hill. Currently, it looks very similar. I’m watching and observing the break of the trend barrier very closely, even on smaller timeframes than the daily. The profit targets are indicated by the red arrows. After the break of the thick white centerline, a strong retest of the CL could be in store. My main target would then be the red centerline. Since the markets are behaving completely irrationally, I’ll need more “breathing room” in the trade and will handle this trade using long-dated LEAP options. ...poor little guy §8-)

Is This Brutal Sell-Off Finally Setting Up a Reversal?Looking at TON here and I'm seeing some interesting developments that caught my attention. We've been in this brutal downtrend since the November highs around $7, but the price action in this current zone is telling a different story. The Setup: Price has been getting absolutely hammered from that strong supply zone I've marked around $6.50-7.00. Every bounce into that area got sold hard, which is classic distribution behavior. But now we're sitting in what I believe is a critical accumulation zone between $2.50-3.50. What I'm Watching: The multiple trend line breaks and retests suggest we might be building a complex bottom here. That descending wedge pattern is textbook - these usually resolve to the upside, especially when you're this oversold on higher timeframes. The fact that we're holding above the $2.50 psychological level despite all the selling pressure is actually pretty bullish. Smart money doesn't let good projects stay this beaten down forever. My Take: I'm cautiously optimistic here. The risk/reward is starting to favor the bulls if you're thinking longer term. That green arrow I've drawn isn't just wishful thinking - the technical setup supports a potential move back toward the $5-6 range over the coming months. Risk Management: Obviously this could still leg down further. Crypto markets are brutal and TON isn't immune to broader market weakness. But if Bitcoin cooperates and we start seeing some alt season momentum, this looks like it could be one of the better setups. Not financial advice, just sharing my chart reading. Always size your positions appropriately.

BTC 4H Expansion scenario (Pseudo CRT with Elliott Wave) This is just a sketch, but I found some interesting confluence between Pseudo CRT-like analysis and an Elliott count (expanded/running flat with A as a flat). The automated indicator I created ("Seer Tee," doing the above-stated "pseudo-CRT" analysis) detected pivots for an upper-timeframe candles-based Modified Schiff Pitchfork. From a bullish perspective, 89k-92k could be a target zone. Invalidation below the thick white channel. If the chart turns bearish, 80k will be the next stop.

Litecoin analysis using multiple toolsPlease read the full analysis to get the complete picture. Let's start with the trend lines. We have three increasing angles of support trend lines. The third one marked with this week's low so it might change if we happen to get a lower low. For the resistance we have R1 which is anchored at the ATH at the December 2024 top. This resistance trend line was tapped twice more, in January and February 2025, creating marginally lower highs marking the triple top which sent Litecoin to its recent low. R1 and any of the support trend lines, most notably S2 create a symmetrical triangle. This triangle can break either way and any time. So in theory, it could take it's time until late 2026 or early 2027. If it breaks in 2026, I would expect it to breakdown given that would correspond to the bear market timing of the bitcoin four year cycle. Next let's take a look at the pitchfork. This is a Schiff pitchfork from the 2018 bear market lows to the all time highs to the 2022 bear market lows. Macro pitchforks like this one tend to be respected. We can see that the August 2024 low hit the outside line of the pitchfork. The 0.5 line (green) flipped multiple times in this cycle between being support and resistance. The Schiff pitchfork in this case gives us the most conservative targets. More bullish targets are observed when switching to the modified Schiff pitchfork. However, for proper risk management it is better to start with the Schiff pitchfork and only if the price breaks the resistance levels, then switch to the modified Schiff. Here is the modified Schiff pitchfork: We can see interesting price interaction here as well. The August 5th 2024 weekly close was still above the outside line. The currently weekly low also hit the outside line. Similarly to the Schiff pitchfork, the 0.5 line also flipped multiple times being support and resistance. Zooming in on the price action since the December 2024 high, we can examine the Fibonacci retracement and how it aligns with the pitchfork, supply zones and a fair value gap (FVG). At the time of this writing, we are about 5 hours away from a pretty bullish weekly candle about to close above the 0.236 Fib with the first significant volume increase since the week of February 24th. The next Fib levels are potential resistance levels. The 0.382 and 0.5 Fibs fall within the first supply zone. The 0.786 and the final 0.886 Fibs fall within the second supply zone. The most bullish artifact on the chart is the weekly FVG. These gaps tend to be filled and the one we have here borders the 0.618 Fib. Moreover, the pitchfork 0.5 line falls withing this FVG. If the FVG will be completely filled during a rally in the next few months, the price will break above the pitchfork 0.5 line and hit the resistance at 0.618 Fib. If the price breaks the 0.618 Fib the next resistance area will be composed of the second supply zone, 0.786 and 0.886 Fibs and R1. Once this resistance area is cleared and price breaks above the December 2024 high at 147$ it can challenge the Schiff pitchfork median line with price targets at 180-190$ depending on when it will be hit. The median line is expected to be a major resistance, especially since it will be the first touch hitting it. If broken, the modified Schiff pitchfork gives targets at 230-250$ depending on when it will be hit. For completeness, a quick look at the RSI and SRSI. RSI is around 43. SRSI is about to cross bullish ( [ending the weekly close) and still needs both the fast line and slow line to cross 20 for a complete bullish signal. No altcoin analysis is complete without examining the BTC pair. LTCBTC had last week the lowest weekly close since the week of November 4th 2024. In the RSI this resulted in the first instance of a bullish divergence since the LTC significantly outperformed BTC in November 2024. A similar bullish divergence happened leading into the week of November 4th 2024. However, note that since January 2024 LTCBTC made lower lows while most of the time the RSI made higher lows. Therefore, we can observe a continued period of weekly bullish divergences since January 2024 but it only unfolded into significant outperformance in November 2024. So, the bullish divergence is clearly bullish but it is hard to tell if it will result in LTC outperforming BTC in the near or far future. The SRSI is oversold but I wouldn't build too much on that. Also, not shown, LTCBTC MACD and LMACD are clearly crossed bearish. To sum up, LTC seems to have a clear path to the upside if the BTC bull run continues. As for whether or it will outperform BTC, it is hard to tell.

Long Term Brent Outlook, $32 by 2026Weekly Brent has broken a clear barrier and formed a Bull Flag pattern, but the subsequent rally has been weak, not even reaching the breakout level. The global economy is showing signs of weakening, leading to a reduction in oil demand. Concurrently, Trump's move to lift US production restrictions is boosting oil supply. However, the slight depreciation of the dollar is providing upward pressure on oil prices. Given these factors, Brent remains relatively weak, and we may see a continued decline in line with Scenario 1, potentially targeting ML by 2026. Further downside is also likely. Given the current conditions, I consider shorting oil at any reasonable price on lower timeframes.
