@scottmelker @Negentropic_ Astonishing analysis, to the level any single trader could tell you, from a company with vested interest in higher prices to sell it's own products.

VANECK ANALYSTS SAY NEGATIVE FUNDING AND HASH RATE DROP SIGNAL $BTC UPSIDE

@coinbureau Wow. A crypto company trying to shill crypto and generate a new narrative to boost it's only business? Who would have expected that???

🚨ALCHEMY CEO: "CRYPTO IS BUILT FOR AI AGENTS, NOT HUMANS" Alchemy CEO Nikil Viswanathan said the next wave of commerce will be driven by AI agents operating natively on crypto rails, not traditional financial systems designed for people.

@ValaAfshar @jam_croissant What a stupid quote. Even the strongest man will be offended if you insult his family. A weak man probably won't. And anyone that thinks they know what "Truth" even is, is already weak.

To offend a strong man, tell him a lie. To offend a weak man, tell him the truth. —Marcus Aurelius

@martypartymusic @BinanceUS Ok BNB. You often criticise them. They are going to build a system they can profit from, of course.

Ive been saying this for a while people looks like @BinanceUS is listening. Stop waiting for permission. Build your world. Nobody will save you and nobody knows better. Manifest your destiny.

@PeterLBrandt @jonbking Or just buy mstr. Much easier and quicker.

My own personal opinion The U.S. govt should engineer a sharp price decline, forcing Saylor into liquidation Then the U.S. govt can stock up on BTC to back up the $USD as a reserve currency I think driving price to $30k would do the trick

@coinbureau highlighting rising institutional interest in Ethereum. - so your getting AI to write your posts now are you? What a stupid comment. We know bitmine has a mandate, it's more bearish than institutional interest. You guys, honestly!

🚨ETHEREUM FOUNDATION SELLS $23.8M IN ETH TO BITMINE The Ethereum Foundation sold ETH at about $2,387 per token in an OTC deal finalized on April 24, limiting market impact and highlighting rising institutional interest in Ethereum.

@MichaelMOTTCM Same place it went last may June, when no one believed it was over and where waiting for a pullback that never came.

where did all the volume go? I don't get it.

@theriskcurve @glassnode God knows who you are but you clearly have no idea how options work if you think this.

@glassnode Options show positioning. They don’t drive the move.

Bitcoin has retested February highs just below 80K and is now consolidating slightly below this level. Here’s what BTC options data shows on positioning, volatility expectations, and sentiment beneath the surface.

@_Checkmatey_ @RyanSAdams @scottmelker @mikemcg0 Not entirely sure the data agrees with the fact it's not deflationary. But fair enough points. Market also doesn't think BTC is worth 100k, doesn't mean it we're not betting on it changing it's mind. Cheers.. and GG.

@SimonKay100 @RyanSAdams @scottmelker @mikemcg0 The market has already rejected that thesis. The eth supply is not deflationary and ETHBTC has more than halved since. Gg.

I disagree @scottmelker, ETH can hit $250k you're applying arguments against ETH that you don't apply to bitcoin, and that's exactly the point @mikemcg0 is making - be open to ETH as a SoV. if bitcoin can surpass the value of gold - then so can ETH. and the $250k outcome in the paper isn't a prediction, it's a statement of logic - if ETH is a civilizational store of value like gold, then the outcome is measured in the tens of trillions. no one saying it's easy, or immediate, or even assigning a probability to this outcome (that's for the market to decide). the paper just says - the menger money attributes are there, so be open minded to the possibility.

@_Checkmatey_ @RyanSAdams @scottmelker @mikemcg0 I wouldn't disagree, I also always thought what business wants to build a business on gas fees that eat away and unknown amount of their profit. Better to keep Eth price stable. But then, the other narrative might be ETH is a programmable BTC, burning more tokens than. It issues?

@SimonKay100 @RyanSAdams @scottmelker @mikemcg0 When I looked at how much my ATH ETH holdings were, and compared it to my all time gas consumption, I realised I had bought 245years of usage. I sold it all the next day. There is no value capture for the token. The math works at 100x smaller valuations.

@_Checkmatey_ @RyanSAdams @scottmelker @mikemcg0 that's very pessimistic from a guy who's normally all about the data @_Checkmatey_

@RyanSAdams @scottmelker @mikemcg0 Argument makes perfect sense.... ...if you're talking about a $250k market cap, but not price.

@glassnode @anti_fragile while funding rates are negative? sounds like BS to me, and what whale longs the breakout?? they long the dips.

Whales on Hyperliquid have been longing the breakout of the range. Their conviction and long positioning have steadily increased over the past two months, signaling strong bullish sentiment among big perp players. 📊glassno.de/495ArH0

@TrisOsborneMP The definition of "clutching at straws" wanna boast about the FTSE 100 again too???

We are getting a grip of the finances after the Truss market crash and Sunak recession. Much more to do.

@TechCharts any thoughts on ARM? looks like a H&S to me?

#TECHCHARTSMEMBERS An #INTERIMUPDATE is sent out with 2 additions to the #watchlist I will discuss more setups in the weekly report. These ones are close to breakout levels that you would want to run a quick due diligence before the week finalizes. blog.techcharts.net/2026/04/23/int…

@SenWarren @LiveSquawk Guess you don't own shares in either of them then.

The Paramount-Warner Bros. merger isn't a done deal. State attorneys general across the country are stepping up to stop this antitrust disaster. We need to keep up this fight.

@mikemcglone11 why do you never post anything worth reading?

Bitcoin May Face a Lose-Lose vs. Beta Bitcoin's flat performance vs. the S&P 500 (SPX) since 2021, despite roughly 3x greater annual volatility, might augur an end to crypto's glory days. Or will Bitcoin catch up to the record-setting stock market? The graphic showing the Bitcoin/SPX ratio at about 11x on April 23 can quantify what the crypto needs to achieve to indicate its best performance days aren't over, staying above 14x, the 1Q24 high following the launch of US ETFs. That Bitcoin has been flat vs. beta for about five years, despite substantial gains in US money supply and stock-market cap-to-GDP stretching to 2.4x (the highest year-end level since 1928) can suggest the first-born crypto is succumbing to basic economic rules and an unlimited supply of competitors. I see about $75,000 as a key 2026 Bitcoin threshold to overcome, particularly if the US stock market is not setting records.

@scottmelker also, once you can "bet" BTC is going to 100k in 6 months, you've got Tax free "trading", much like Spreadbetting in the UK.

Prediction markets are obviously gambling.

@scottmelker depends how you use them. No reason you can't use them to hedge.

@Keir_Starmer you have got to be f**king kidding me?? what planet does this guy live on??

Today, we fly our flag proudly and we're reminded of the values it represents - service, generosity, and respect. When we stand together, united in our communities, we are stronger than any attempt to divide us. Happy St George’s Day!

@PeterLBrandt does the break above the previous resistance specifically identify this as a "V shape bottom" - I assume anything else could essentially morph into a downtrending pattern and therefore only the break gives us the positive bullish outlook.

V-extended bottoms are very rare, but they do occur. In fact, this is the second "V"-extended bottom in the NASDAQ in the past year. Now, that is rare. It portends higher prices with an initial target of 29,600 $NQ_F
