🚨 Urgent | Collapse of InfoFi Projects After X's Decision
Several InfoFi projects experienced a sharp decline after X's announcement banning apps that reward users for posting. Product head Nikita Ber confirmed these projects were paying millions of dollars for Enterprise API, but X decided to stop this.
Prominent affected tokens: $KAITO and $COOKIE , whose models heavily rely on incentivizing engagement via X.
📉 The lesson is clear: any project relying on a centralized platform remains at risk. Risk management has become a necessity, not an option.
📉 Is now the right time to enter after this strong drop?
What happened in the market started as a profit-taking wave, then turned into fear-driven selling and the liquidation of delayed and losing long positions as the decline continued. Does this mean entering now is ideal? Not necessarily, but for me, entering at the bottom is better than chasing higher prices.
I started buying gradually with a very small size, following a clear plan: Only increasing position size upon confirmation of momentum, and setting stop-losses to protect capital.
I don't expect much and will look to sell and take profits on any upward move whenever the opportunity arises.
❗ Don't be greedy, don't rush—markets give opportunities to the patient.
🚀 $ICP Healthy correction and potential rebound, it's time to enter 📈
Currency $ICP saw a strong rally up to 4.80, then entered a sharp correction toward 4.20, which is a normal behavior after such momentum. On the 15-minute timeframe, we notice the price entering a clear accumulation zone, with solid support despite the recent market decline, enhancing the likelihood of a rebound.
📌 Entry Zone: 4.210 – 4.260 🎯 TP1: 4.530 🎯 TP2: 4.670 🎯 TP3: 4.900 ⛔ Stop-loss: Close of a 1-hour candle below 4.150
Idea: Enter with a small size now, then increase the position after confirming momentum and breakout from the accumulation zone. The market is facing a key decision, and a strong rebound is on the horizon 👀🔥
🚀 $POL Strong correction brings it back to a key support zone
I entered a buy trade at $POL , and the idea is that after a sharp correction, the price returned to the crucial 0.15 zone, the same area from which it previously launched and achieved a strong upward move. Currently, we observe price interaction with the 50-EMA on the 4-hour timeframe, along with the 0.786 Fibonacci level from the low at 0.1484, and a Bullish Divergence on the hourly chart after a strong candle close, confirming the presence of buyers.
📉 Why did alternative coins collapse with Bitcoin's first red candle?
Simply put, the recent rally wasn't driven by smart money inflow, but by FOMO emotions and fear of missing out. While latecomers were buying at peaks, major funds were selling and locking in profits after purchasing from lower levels over the past weeks.
With the first red candle, fear set in, increasing selling pressure. That's why I've consistently advised taking profits and not chasing the price in recent days.
💡 Smart money exits during excitement and returns during fear. Be patient, disciplined, and never let yourself be swayed by rapid movements. Always trade according to a solid plan, and remember that the market always provides opportunities.
📉 Litecoin ($LTC ) under pressure, what's happening?
Currency $LTC has dropped below $76, recording weaker performance than most currencies in the market, declining significantly over the past few days. Data from Santiment shows a sharp increase in whale movements, which may indicate potential selling pressure.
Technically, breaking below the $77.9 level triggered a sell wave, with negative momentum on MACD and RSI at 38. The key support level currently is around $73, while a rebound above $78.7 could signal recovery. Caution is required, especially if the broader market starts declining, but remember to focus and look for entry opportunities from below.
Reading below expectations indicates a strong labor market, which reduces pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. 📊 This is what supported the expectations, now indicating over 95% probability that interest rates will not be cut this month.
The next phase requires caution and good risk management, so stay alert.
🚀 $ICP Dominates Strongly, Has the New Phase Begun?
Internet Computer ($ICP ) recorded a strong rise of over 50% in just two days, outperforming many other cryptocurrencies in the market, supported by the launch of the MISSION70 paper.
The paper proposes reducing currency inflation by more than 70% by 2026 through cutting rewards and increasing demand via AI applications on the chain.
In contrast, we've seen a significant outflow from exchanges (-58%) and a surge in activity to 90 million transactions per day.
The momentum is clear… and the question now is: Will $ICP repeat the scenario from November 2025? 👀📈
📌 The actual reality of what happened with the Clarity Act today and why the vote was postponed
What happened is not a final cancellation. Coinbase withdrew its support for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act project because, according to Brian Armstrong, the current version might be worse than having no law at all. Subsequently, the Senate Banking Committee postponed the voting session due to escalating disagreements, not because the bill was dropped.
Reasons for rejection include: Restrictions on stablecoin returns, tightening regulations on tokenized securities, stricter measures against DeFi and user privacy, and increased SEC influence at the expense of CFTC.
In summary: the law was not canceled but returned to the drafting table for revisions.
Bitcoin continues its rise today, reaching levels around 97,000 despite expectations that interest rates will not be cut this month, and despite geopolitical tensions between Iran, the US, and NATO, as well as frequent Trump statements that typically pressure crypto.
Nevertheless, the market remains resilient.
Currently, Bitcoin is at a sensitive weekly zone where the 50-EMA weekly is near 97,600. A weekly close above it would be a very positive signal, while the next resistance lies between 99,000 – 99,700.
⚠️ Be cautious: In such negative sentiment, the market often spikes before smart money exits peaks ahead of a new downturn. Risk management is now absolutely essential.
🟢 $ZEC Performance and no better deal, a successful deal with perfection and completeness, congratulations to those who joined my deal 🔥
Two days ago, I shared with you a deal on $ZEC in the 400$ range, which saw the currency rise remarkably by about 10% within the day.
$ZEC showed strong upward momentum today, reaching a very important resistance zone at 449 - 456. If the currency successfully breaks through, the path could open up to 483, then 500. Personally, my friends, I exited the deal completely. Congratulations to those who joined my deal and bought at lower levels before the move began. To everyone who bought the currency, don't forget to take some profits along the way upward 🚀🚀

📈 $ZEC at decision zone... continuation of uptrend or continuation of downtrend
Currency $ZEC is currently rebounding from a strong demand zone and showing higher highs and higher lows formation, indicating a return of positive momentum after the recent correction.
Zone 400 – 390 is a very crucial support area, and as long as the price holds above it, the scenario of an uptrend toward resistance levels remains valid.
Entry zone: 395 – 402 Targets: TP1: 420 TP2: 433 TP3: 455 Stop loss: 375 ⚠️ A break below this zone with a candle close below may open the door for a strong drop and invalidate the trade, so monitor the currency closely over the next few hours.
🚨 $ZEC The currency is waking up again amid positive news 📈
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially concluded its investigation into the Zcash Foundation without recommending any penalties or additional regulatory actions. The investigation began in August 2023, and the outcome reflects the organization's commitment to transparency and regulatory compliance. Closing this regulatory matter gives Zcash greater room to focus on developing a financial infrastructure that maintains privacy.
The $ZEC cryptocurrency rose by over 9% today and is approaching the final target of 455, the price level we shared with you two days ago—congratulations to everyone who joined in! 👍
Positive news, and momentum may continue if it attracts greater interest from investors. 📈
$DASH coin, one of the oldest privacy coins since 2014, is witnessing renewed activity and a strong price surge. In just two days, DASH has risen over 112%, with approximately 50% of that increase occurring in the last 24 hours, and it is currently trading near $84, achieving the target we discussed this morning.
Notably, the recent upward wave has affected most privacy coins, such as XMR, which has increased by around 80%, while DASH was relatively delayed before catching up.
The key catalyst came after Alchemy Pay announced support for purchasing $DASH with fiat currencies, attracting new liquidity and significantly boosting momentum.
Privacy coins continue to prove their worth in the market 🔥
🚀 Bitcoin hits highest level in two months and what's driving the market?
The price of $BTC rose today to nearly $97,777, boosted by a wave of positive macro catalysts. The crypto market capitalization regained $3.2 trillion as risk appetite improved.
Slowing US labor market and declining core inflation boosted optimism and revived risk sentiment in the market. Additionally, regulatory optimism with the CLARITY Act and strong inflows into ETFs ($754 million) triggered a short squeeze exceeding $700 million in liquidations.
Yes, Bitcoin is becoming more positive every day, but remember that when it rises, they sell and take profits, and when they look to enter and buy, they won't purchase at these high prices. ⚠️ Be careful and stay alert—don't get caught up in the hype.
The US Supreme Court decides not to issue the awaited ruling today regarding the legality of President Trump's tariffs, and for the second time in a row, the decision is postponed without explanation.
This delay increases uncertainty in the economic landscape, especially given the impact of these tariffs on global trade, inflation, and financial markets. Investors are watching closely, as any unexpected ruling later could trigger strong volatility in stocks, the dollar, and even crypto.
Uncertainty continues and caution is required at this stage. 📉📈
🚀 $NEAR confirms its strength and sustained momentum of artificial intelligence 📈
After the pleasant rise yesterday and $NEAR reaching 1.90, we observe a healthy correction with strong support above the 1.80 zone, which is a positive signal.
The currency is gaining increasing attention, especially after the recent partnership with NVIDIA in the field of artificial intelligence, which strengthens the upward momentum.
⚠️ The 1.800 zone is very critical; a strong break below could drive the price toward 1.750, then 1.670. Trade based on this information, and manage your risks carefully, as the market is in high levels and we might see a sudden sell-off.
🔥 $XRP Health correction and a golden opportunity, it's time to enter 🚀🚀
After the strong rise yesterday to 2.19, $XRP made a controlled downward correction. On the 15-minute timeframe, we observe a double bottom pattern at 2.1116, a very important level as it aligns with the 50-EMA on the hourly chart, and the price is respecting it well.
🐶 $DOGE Sends Signals of Possible Reversal Coming? 🚀
On smaller timeframes, Dogecoin shows a clear positive divergence: price is dropping while the RSI indicator is rising, which often indicates weakening sellers and a potential near-term reversal.
As long as $DOGE holds above the 0.145 level, the outlook remains positive.
