Bitcoin Meteo
Bitcoin (BTC) hovered around $92,600 on Wednesday after dipping below $90,000 earlier in the week, extending a 2% decline from Monday and closing below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $94,253 (drawn from April 7 low of $74,508 to October 6 all-time high of $126,299). Tuesday saw BTC hit $89,253 before rebounding to $92,960 from the $90,000 psychological support. The daily RSI at 30 nears oversold territory, signaling slowing bearish momentum and potential recovery to $94,253 if $90,000 holds; a close below could target $85,000 support.
Ethereum (ETH) steadied at $3,118 on Wednesday, defending $3,017 support after a 14% drop from $3,592 rejection, with Tuesday's low at $2,946. RSI rebounding from oversold suggests recovery to $3,592 if support holds, or decline to $2,749 otherwise. XRP stabilized at $2.21 after a 6-7% correction from $2.47's 50-day EMA, with RSI at 41 indicating fading bears; upside to $2.47 or down to $1.96.
Market notes include Solana (SOL) up 2% to $130 above $126 support; Cardano (ADA) at $0.45; Cboe's planned Bitcoin and Ethereum 10-year Continuous Futures; and BitMine Immersion Technologies' purchase of 54,156 ETH, boosting holdings to 3.56 million. BTC structure deteriorated below $97,000 on Friday, with 7% weekly losses amid capitulation. (198 words)
A government shutdown is crippling the U.S. economy for a month, forcing Republicans to implement stimulus measures. Donald Trump is guaranteeing a $2,000 tariff dividend to all Americans, excluding high-income earners, as a key policy response.
### Scott Besson's Media Appearance
Scott Besson appeared on TV for damage control regarding these initiatives. The proposals include no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security benefits, and deductibility of auto loans. These substantial tax deductions are being financed through the tax system to mitigate economic fallout.

The text discusses the minimal financial difference between a 30-year and 50-year mortgage, noting payments vary by only a few hundred dollars monthly. However, it warns that printing stimulus money fuels inflation, eroding any perceived gains—like $400 in equity—faster than rising living costs.
Homes represent the primary leverage opportunity for average people, unlike hedge funds or Wall Street, offering 30x leverage traditionally and now up to 50x. This increased borrowing power allows buyers to afford larger homes, driving up property prices and making housing more unaffordable overall. Wages, such as an additional $100,000, won't keep pace with these escalating costs.
The beneficiaries are existing homeowners, those with 60% of their portfolios in real estate, and major institutional owners like BlackRock and Blackstone, who control the most single-family homes in America. (148 words)
Bitcoin's price plunged from $126K to $89K, with its market dominance falling below 60%, intensifying market pressure. Veteran trader Michael van de Poppe views this as a bullish signal, noting Bitcoin dominance mirrors the 2019 pattern just before altcoins rallied. His 1-week chart shows dominance rejected at a key resistance and the 20-week moving average, similar to prior cycles.
Van de Poppe explains such rejections typically occur near market bottoms, not tops, paving the way for altcoins to outperform Bitcoin. Historical parallels include 2016–2017, 2019–2020, and 2021, where dominance declined and altcoins surged. The current setup suggests an impending shift favoring altcoins.
Crypto analyst Matthew Hyland echoes this, highlighting weakening dominance as a precursor to a strong altcoin season after a nearly four-year bear market. He argues mid- and low-cap altcoins are poised to lead. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's social activity hit a four-month high amid the drop, signaling retail panic near potential turning points.

Is BTC Dip Over? Standard Chartered Eyes December Surge

Bitcoin Meteo
Bitcoin's price has fallen below $90,000, marking the deepest pullback since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States last year. Geoffrey Kendrick, head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered, views this as the third major 30% correction in that period, following a pattern indicating seller exhaustion. In a Tuesday client note, he described the sell-off as a rapid, painful version of prior corrections with similar magnitude, noting that key sentiment and valuation metrics have reset to levels signaling market bottoms.
Strategy's modified net asset value, measuring its Bitcoin holdings against share price, hit parity at 1.0, suggesting capitulation. Multiple indicators have dropped to zero, implying the sell-off may end. Kendrick's base case remains a year-end rally based on these technical and sentiment signals.
The decline has sparked debate on whether Bitcoin is entering the bear market phase of its four-year cycle, which includes a halving event roughly every four years, followed by drawdowns 12-18 months later. After the April 2024 halving, the window nears its October end. Some analysts see a delayed cycle, others historical bottoms after short-term holder capitulation. Standard Chartered's contrarian outlook comes amid doubled trading volume and $335 million in Bitcoin derivatives liquidations over the past day, boosting total crypto liquidations.
The provided content does not discuss Bitcoin, its market, or related entities, dates, or names. Instead, it critiques government-issued money and economic policies. Below is a concise summary of the key points from the text:
Most Americans overlook how government money exacerbates financial strain, making essentials like fuel, insurance, and groceries more expensive. Middle-class income earners face rising costs for stocks, equities, and homes, further limiting affordability. Proposed 50-year mortgages offer no real relief and are seen as a Republican Party strategy to appeal to disillusioned young Americans who feel unrepresented by politics. This approach is portrayed as debt slavery and socialism masquerading as support for single-family households.
Bitcoin Rebound Looms as Funds Flow Shifts, US Economy Risks Linger

### Bitcoin Market Pressures and Fed Outlook
Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader crypto market face pressure ahead of the US Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on Dec. 10, with traders split on a 0.25% cut or holding rates steady at 4%. Inflation concerns from US President Donald Trump’s tariffs clash with cooling economic activity, including a weakening job market per BlackRock reports. Fed Governor Christopher Waller expressed worries on Monday that restrictive policy is hurting lower- and middle-income consumers, dismissing impacts from the government shutdown's missing data. Bitcoin's downtrend began in early October after its Oct. 6 all-time high, driven more by broad risk aversion—slowed freight, softening housing, and tighter cash flows (Savvy Wealth)—than solely Fed actions or a strengthening US dollar (inverse to DXY).
### Liquidity Improvements and Recovery Potential
The Fed will halt its balance sheet shrinkage below $6.5 trillion starting December, potentially via repurchase agreement (Repo) operations to inject cash and ease liquidity. Trump has tasked US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent with a 2026 stimulus for lower-income households, alongside gradual tariff reductions to curb inflation. However, fiscal strains worsen in 2026 from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, amid real estate and auto sector weaknesses pressuring regional banks. Bitcoin may rebound strongly as liquidity returns, with charts signaling a $75K bottom and 40% rally before 2025 ends. Expansionist measures could favor scarce assets like BTC amid tight fiscal conditions.
Japanese ASIC firm Triple-1, founded by CEO Takuya Yamaguchi in 2016, is taping out its third-generation Bitcoin-mining chip, Kamikaze III, on TSMC's 3-nm process. It achieves 10.45 J/TH efficiency via proprietary sub-threshold operation at 0.26V, enabling low-power edge deployment. First-gen Kamikaze launched in 2018 on TSMC 7-nm; second-gen in 2020 on 5-nm, alongside AI test chip Goku.
### Market Challenges and Energy Integration
Bitcoin mining faced downturns from crypto value drops, prompting Triple-1's 2021 Tepco (Tokyo Electric Power Company) partnership. With Agile Energy, they deploy mining servers at renewable energy edges (e.g., solar farms) to utilize surplus power, avoiding waste post-Fukushima investments. Triple-1 also develops solid-state batteries (>280 Wh/kg) for storage, targeting Asian utilities and grids with "fishbone" structures prone to congestion.
### Competitive Edge and Future Shifts
As the only non-Chinese firm accessing TSMC nodes—unlike Bitmain and Sophgo, banned since Huawei links—Triple-1 uses crypto chips as "pipe-cleaners" for advanced nodes, planning Rapidus collaboration. Sub-threshold tech minimizes power/cost risks, with air/liquid cooling and sleep modes. Amid market shifts, 10-12 GW crypto capacity (15% of data centers) attracts AI firms like Microsoft's $9.7B IREN deal; Triple-1 eyes AI accelerators for distributed, surplus-energy computing.
### Crypto Market Overview
Institutional investors are increasingly entering the crypto space, pouring billions into Bitcoin and Ethereum, and hundreds of millions into Solana, fueling long-term bullishness on Solana. The market has corrected recently, with Bitcoin dropping from over $120,000 to around $90,000 per coin, and Solana falling from over $250 to $130 per coin, presenting buying opportunities for altcoins and related stocks.
### Upexi (UPXI) Highlights
Upexi (NASDAQ: UPXI), likened to MicroStrategy for Solana as the largest Solana treasury company, holds 216,989 Solana tokens, up 4.4% from September 10, 2025, with a net asset value of $397 million and significant unrealized gains. Its fiscal Q1 ending September 30, 2025, reported total revenue of $9.2 million (up from $4.4 million in Q1 2024), including $6.1 million in digital asset revenue and $3.2 million from consumer brands. Gross profit reached $8.3 million, up 183% year-over-year, and net income hit $66.7 million, reversing a $1.6 million loss from the prior year. These profits enable further Solana acquisitions.
### Strategic Moves and Valuation
On November 13, 2025, Upexi announced a $50 million share repurchase program to buy back common stock opportunistically, enhancing shareholder value amid volatility. With a $155 million market cap but Solana holdings valued over $397 million (exceeding its cap), UPXI appears undervalued, potentially offering 10x returns. The speaker is bullish on Solana reaching $1,000 per token and surpassing Ethereum, positioning UPXI for growth akin to MicroStrategy's Bitcoin strategy.
The article discusses a growing divide in the economy between the "haves" and "have-nots," particularly in the stock market, where traditional capitalism is eroding. Investors increasingly favor passive index funds and ETFs, funneled mindlessly into 401ks and other instruments, diminishing active participation and ownership rights, including the ability to vote on company matters.
Elon Musk addresses this in a conversation with Chamath Palihapitiya on the All-In podcast, highlighting a fundamental issue with corporate governance in publicly traded companies. About half of the stock market is controlled by passive index funds, which outsource decisions to advisory firms like Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS). Musk derisively calls them "corporate ISIS," likening them to terrorists who wield influence without owning any stock in the companies.
Brazil's Stunning Tax Hits Global Crypto Transfers

### Brazil's Proposed Tax on Cross-Border Crypto Payments
On Nov 18, 2025, Brazil's government announced plans to impose the Foreign Exchange Transaction Tax (IOF) on cross-border cryptocurrency payments, including Bitcoin and stablecoins, to regulate remittances bypassing traditional systems. Currently, no IOF applies to crypto, with only income tax on gains above monthly thresholds. The move aims to boost revenue, prevent evasion, and enhance monitoring for security, mirroring global efforts to integrate digital assets. For users, this could raise costs, require reporting, and adjust strategies, potentially slowing Brazil's booming crypto market but fostering trust and reducing fraud. Challenges include tracking decentralized transactions and ensuring regulator cooperation. Tips: Consult tax experts, maintain records, and use compliant platforms.
### Mastercard-Polygon Partnership for Bitcoin Ecosystem
Also on Nov 18, 2025, Mastercard, Polygon Labs, and Mercuryo extended Mastercard Crypto Credential to self-custody wallets on Polygon, introducing verified username aliases to replace lengthy addresses. Polygon was selected for its speed, low costs, and scalability, supporting U.S. stablecoin transfers and fintech integrations. Mercuryo handles identity verification and soulbound tokens. Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron noted this advances mainstream adoption by making blockchain "invisible" to users, enhancing trust in Bitcoin and digital transactions amid rising institutional involvement.

Bitcoin crashed to $88,000 last night amid market meltdown and record ETF outflows. Matt Hogan, CIO of Bitwise, stated this morning that the market is nearing a bottom, viewing it as a buying opportunity for long-term investors. He noted Bitcoin acted as a "canary in the coal mine" for risk assets and will likely bottom first. Extreme fear in sentiment, per the Greed and Fear Index, signals no euphoria phase. Cameron Winklevoss tweeted yesterday at 10:31 p.m.: "This is the last time you'll ever be able to buy Bitcoin below $90,000."
Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg's head ETF analyst, reported $250 million in Bitcoin ETF outflows yesterday and $3 billion over the past month (2.5% of total assets), with 97.5% holding firm and $23 billion in year-to-date inflows. Institutions now control the market, absorbing retail panic, while influencers show bearish turns.
Geoffrey Kendrick of Standard Chartered sees the sell-off—Bitcoin's third 30% correction since U.S. spot ETFs launched last year—as nearing exhaustion, with MicroStrategy's Modified NAV at zero. He maintains a year-end rally as base case. A Yahoo Finance article highlights pressure below $92,000, questioning the 4-year cycle amid Bernstein's warning of a Q4 2025 self-fulfilling sell-off prophecy.
CryptoQuant notes record accumulation by "strong hands" since October 6, with permanent holder demand surging from 159K to 345K BTC, defying price drops and hinting at supply squeeze or final downside. Whales (1,000+ BTC entities) are buying aggressively, unlike their sales in the prior 2025 pump from $50K to $100K. Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy recently bought $800 million in Bitcoin near $102,000. 2025's sideways/red year suggests institutional supply crunch ahead, potentially breaking the cycle.
Jason Casper, in his YouTube video on a Tuesday afternoon, discusses Bitcoin's struggle to reclaim its 2025 yearly open, currently bouncing from key support around $93,500 with a blue daily candle. Despite bearish sentiment, he remains bullish, dipping toes into a $25,000 long position at 13x leverage from $93,500, predicting a potential relief rally amid extreme fear.
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index stands at 11, signaling extreme fear—historically a bullish indicator, last seen at similar lows in April 2025, marking a major bottom. Bitcoin has slid below $90,000, down 30% from its peak and 29-33% from January's pullback, wiping out 2025 gains. Ethereum is under $3,000.
Bearish factors include a shift from risk assets, reduced expectations for a December Federal Reserve rate cut due to softer economic data, nearly $2 billion in Bitcoin ETF outflows last week, heavy liquidations (almost $1 billion in longs), and a death cross with bearish divergences on charts. News from Business Insider (Jennifer Soore) and 99 Bitcoins highlights the selloff rocking the crypto market, with altcoins suffering more due to non-participation in the bull run.
However, on-chain data shows accumulation by large wallets, suggesting capitulation rather than a prolonged bear market. Plan B anticipates a longer bull cycle from ETFs and institutions; Tom Lee is accumulating millions in Ethereum. Market structure remains bullish until a monthly close below $82,400, potentially forming an accumulation range for a sideways trade.
Bitcoin briefly dipped below $90,000 to a seven-month low early Tuesday due to institutional repositioning, short-term profit-taking, and ETF outflows exceeding $3 billion over the past three weeks, but recovered above $93,000. Kronos Research CIO Vincent Liu noted leveraged traders and funds adjusting exposure as key pressures, despite long-term holder confidence. BTC Markets analyst Rachael Lucas highlighted support at $85,000-$87,000, with $80,000 critical to avoid February's $74,000 lows. Liquidity is tight amid U.S. government shutdown limits and macro uncertainty, with traders eyeing December's Fed decision and Thursday's U.S. jobs data.
Defunct exchange Mt. Gox transferred 10,608 BTC (~$956 million) late Monday to unmarked addresses, per Arkham data, fitting patterns before creditor repayments—delayed until October 2026 via Kraken and Bitstamp. Mt. Gox holds 34,689 BTC ($3.2 billion), looming over markets.
El Salvador's Bitcoin Office disclosed adding 1,090 BTC (~$100 million), its largest single-day increase, totaling 7,474 BTC ($676 million). Questions arise over IMF loan restrictions barring new public buys, amid conflicting statements from President Nayib Bukele and officials.
Standard Chartered predicts the sell-off is over, forecasting a year-end rally. A Cloudflare outage Tuesday disrupted crypto front-ends, underscoring infrastructure risks.
### Trump vs. Powell: Fed Tensions Impact Bitcoin Markets
On November 18, 2025, at 19:27, Gianluca Grossi reported escalating conflict between U.S. President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump criticized Powell, revealing a "surprising" list of potential successors, possibly including FOMC doves Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller. Trump expressed desire to oust Powell immediately but noted legal constraints, vowing political battle until Powell's exit. This revives FOMC divisions between Trump allies and Powell loyalists ahead of the December 10 decision.
### Bitcoin and Risk Assets in Focus
The clash reduces rate cut likelihood, but Trump's outbursts and past White House influence on Powell have revived December cut expectations. Markets now balance cut/no-cut scenarios, with risk-on assets like Bitcoin preferring lax Fed policy. Investors eye Powell's resistance to dovish shifts from Bowman and Waller, who softened on rates post-Trump hints. A pre-election cut is questioned as favoring Kamala Harris. Crypto remains high-risk; full investment loss possible.

The promoter highlights Rewap as a groundbreaking probability-based DEX on Solana, akin to early Uniswap, Jupiter, or Raydium, but with a unique AI-driven twist for faster, fairer swaps based on market metrics and user expectations. Created using AI technologies, its full development chat history is transparently available. Rewap enables users to boost swap outputs from 1.1x to 1000x via smart contract probabilities (e.g., 85.85% for 1.1x, 0.67% for 1000x), verified on-chain. Liquidity comes from stakers depositing SOL, with fees distributed to them.
### Mechanics and Features
In Rewap swaps, users connect a Solana wallet and select boosts; if unsuccessful, they receive RSWP tokens (native token) for buybacks, supporting price growth—e.g., 69.03% to stakers, 1.6% protocol fees, 29.3% for RSWP. Features include Re-wap (token swaps with boosts), Boost (multiplying holdings of the same token), and staking with high APYs. The protocol is temporarily closed during the ongoing IDO to ensure RSWP rewards.
### IDO and Tokenomics
Tokenomics allocate 15% to boost pool, 15% promo/marketing, 13% treasury/reserve, 10% liquidity, 10% early investors, and 5% team, promoting community-driven growth. Early IDO participants get bonuses: 3% + 2% TGE, 3% after 1 month. To join, connect wallet at rewap.app, deposit SOL (min 0.5 SOL). Airdrop available via Telegram/Twitter subscriptions and wallet comments on pinned posts.
The transcript discusses political shifts in New York, where "M Donnie" is outlining strict standards for business owners to repair buildings, signaling broader discontent among young Americans. This is framed not as Democratic versus Republican divides, but as a cry against the unfulfilled American dream, as highlighted in Peter Thiel's viral article, "Capitalism Isn't Working for Young Americans," which predicted such unrest years ago.
The core issue, per the speaker, is money manipulation at the end of economic cycles—termed the "fourth turning in Bitcoin land." Excessive money printing benefits asset owners disproportionately, hollowing out the middle class and exacerbating inequality for younger generations. This ties into Bitcoin's narrative as a hedge against fiat currency debasement, though no specific market data is provided.
Bitcoin (BTC-USD) experienced a pause in its recent price decline during late morning trading on Tuesday, after dropping below the $90,000 mark for the first time in seven months. The cryptocurrency rebounded, trading 1.52% higher at $93,600 at 11:38 AM ET.
The slide had erased prior gains, reflecting ongoing market volatility in the Bitcoin sector. (Image credit: Vertigo3d/iStock via Getty Images)
Bitcoin's 5% Era Looms: Million Coins Left, Risks Ignite

On November 17, Bitcoin surpassed 19.95 million mined coins, exceeding 95% of its 21 million supply cap, leaving under 1.05 million BTC to be mined over the next 115 years, with the last partial coin expected in 2140. This milestone validates Bitcoin's scarcity narrative, attracting Wall Street and sovereign investors, but ushers in the challenging "5% Era" for miners amid operational strains.
Bitcoin's issuance follows geometric decay via halving events, reducing block rewards by 50% every 210,000 blocks (about four years). Post-April 2024 halving, rewards are 3.125 BTC per block, down from 50 BTC in 2009. For macro investors, this shifts Bitcoin from high-inflation asset to a mature commodity with inflation nearing zero, below gold's rate, fueling spot ETF approvals and institutional adoption.
Miners face a "revenue cliff" with hashprice at a 12-month low of $38.82 per PH/s per day last week, as Bitcoin trades below $90,000. Network hashrate holds near 1.1 ZH/s despite falling revenues (~$37 million daily average), breaking typical difficulty adjustments and squeezing margins.
The industry fractures: "Pure Plays" focus on efficiency, while "Hybrid Operators" pivot to AI/HPC for better economics. Bitfarms is winding down crypto ops for AI; Coreweave and Hive Digital are retrofitting facilities. VanEck projects $38 billion in annual revenue from diverting 20% power to AI. Future security relies on transaction fees replacing subsidies, per Satoshi Nakamoto's design, but Ethereum's Justin Drake warns of risks if fees falter, potentially impacting the crypto ecosystem.
