🚨 BREAKING: 🇺🇸 FED CHAIR POWELL IS STILL SCHEDULED TO GIVE A "BIG" SPEECH DESPITE SHUTDOWN TOMORROW

Markets don’t fear the speech, they fear the signal behind it.

Powell speaking during a shutdown means messaging matters more than policy.

Will he calm markets or test their conviction again?

EXPECT HIGH VOLATILITY!

Someone launched a coin and spent seven hours buying it from… themselves. Waited for others to join, nobody did, then rage-sold it all.

I wonder what that was. A tragic little DeFi drama, or a noble act saving the world from one more shitcoin?

This is a significant milestone for the crypto industry as it enters 2026. Senator John Boozman (R-AR), Chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee, has officially locked in the timeline for a bill that could finally provide a clear legal framework for digital assets in the United States.

Here is the breakdown of what is happening, why it matters, and the critical dates to watch.

The Upcoming Timeline.

The committee has intentionally created a window for final review and public transparency before the official vote.

January 21, 2026: The revised text of the Crypto Market Structure Bill (often referred to as the Senate's version of the "CLARITY Act") is scheduled for public release.
January 27, 2026 (3:00 PM ET): The official committee markup. This is the procedural session where lawmakers debate, propose amendments, and ultimately vote on whether to send the bill to the full Senate floor.

Key Components of the Bill.

Based on the bipartisan "Boozman-Booker" draft and recent negotiations, the bill focuses on several "make-or-break" issues for the industry:

CFTC vs. SEC Jurisdiction: The bill aims to grant the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) primary oversight over "digital commodity" spot markets (like Bitcoin and Ethereum). The SEC would retain authority over "ancillary assets"—tokens that rely heavily on the efforts of a central issuer.
Stablecoin Regulation:
There is a heavy focus on yield. Recent drafts suggest a ban on "passive yield" for stablecoins (to prevent them from acting like unregulated bank deposits), though rewards for active use (like payments or DeFi liquidity) may still be allowed.
DeFi & Developer Protections: One of the most watched provisions includes language to protect non-custodial software developers from being treated as "money transmitters," a direct response to recent high-profile legal cases.
Consumer Protections: Expect strict new rules on customer fund segregation and conflict-of-interest disclosures to prevent another "FTX-style" collapse.

Bitcoin's recent price surge lacks individual participation.

Demand from small buyers remains weak, suggesting that the current rally is being driven by large players rather than individual investors.

This makes the rally fragile and prone to volatility.

Bitcoin is now hovering above $93500, on the cusp of positioning itself for a repeat of November 2024 and April 2025 history (green circles)

Bitcoin will need to simply hold above $93500 heading into the new Weekly Close

History suggests a retest of $93500 into new support could also be on the cards.

Market sentiment has returned to pre-October 10th crash levels!

The fear/greed index in the cryptocurrency market has reached 52, a level not seen in months, specifically since the infamous crash of October 10th.

This indicates that overall market sentiment has returned to neutral territory after a prolonged period of fear and caution, potentially reflecting improved investor confidence and relative market stability.

However, caution remains necessary, as sentiment can shift rapidly in the crypto world. 📊🚀

🚨 DRAFT SENATE BILL COULD RECLASSIFY MAJOR ALTCOINS.

An interesting section in the draft Senate crypto market structure bill addresses token classification.

If a crypto token is the primary asset of an ETF listed on a national securities exchange (registered under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act) as of January 1, 2026, it would be exempt from being classified as an “ancillary asset” or a security.

This means such tokens would not be subject to additional disclosure requirements and would be treated more like commodities, similar to $BTC and $ETH.

Under this framework, tokens like $XRP, $SOL , $LTC , $HBAR, $DOGE , and $LINK are placed in the same basket as BITCOIN AND ETHEREUM.

Stablecoin companies (such as USDT and USDC) earned approximately $5 billion in 2025 alone from running their tokens on the Ethereum network.

This profit comes from things like:

• Interest on held funds

• Usage and transfer fees

• The use of stablecoins in trading and DeFi

Ethereum has become a very profitable platform for stablecoin issuers, who are generating huge profits from it.

$SOL Price Action Update (Simple View).

$SOL is currently facing rejection at the red box, which is a supply / resistance zone.

You can see that every time price reaches this area (144-145), sellers step in and price struggles to move higher that’s a clear sign that price is not being accepted above this zone yet.

As long as SOL keeps getting rejected from this red area, it remains range-bound, not bullish.

🔴 What does this rejection mean?

Buyers are active, but not strong enough to break resistance

Sellers are defending this level

Market is waiting for confirmation, not ready to trend yet

✅ Invalidation (very important)

The bearish / rejection idea gets invalidated only if:

SOL breaks above the red box

AND holds above it with a daily close

If that happens, the red box flips into support and we can then expect continuation toward the upper green zone to 168

Until then:

Rejection = rejection

No breakout = no trend

Price is still inside a range

Wait for acceptance above resistance, not just a wick.

Why is the CPI important?

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the primary tool for measuring inflation because it shows how the prices of goods and services change over time.

Why is everyone watching it?

🔹 It directly influences the Federal Reserve's decisions and interest rates.

🔹 It determines the direction of financial markets, whether they rise or fall.

🔹 It strongly influences the dollar, gold, and stocks.

In short: One simple number, but it can completely change the course of the markets.

LUNC Coin.

It's clear that the current downward pressure on LUNC coincides with the company's efforts to maximize the cost of burning the coins.

Terra Form Labs (TFL) has burned a massive 249 billion LUNC coins.

Binance previously held the highest burning rate for LUNC, but now TFL alone has burned 249 billion LUNC.

Daily structure is holding up well here.

Don’t get overexposed to altcoins here.
Focus only on strong names.

If BTC is bullish, BTC.D likely moves up with it, in my view.

Weak alts won’t run —
they’ll get hurt even on a small BTC pullback.

Position accordingly.

Expecting sub 89K first but why?

So many late longs are lined up and the rise of liquidation around 89K is more than the upside

So a flush needed to liquidate late longs and hunt SLs then UP
So if you want to long the $BTC then place orders at 89700 to 89200$

Market is range bound until we either break up 92K with good volume or break down 89200$ with enough selling pressure

Bias: Bearish in lower frame then Bullish after 89200$

🚨BREAKING: Former NYC Mayor Eric Adams launched a $NYC memecoin and cashed out $3.4M in a hour.

$NYC trading started at 10:27pm UTC.

At 10:41pm UTC, the token hit its all time high market cap of $587 million.

Just two minutes later, the team started pulling liquidity.

Within the next 40 minutes, the market cap crashed to $87 million while the team cashed out $3.4 million.

That means nearly $500 million in value was wiped out in just 40 minutes and this is exactly why people have stopped taking crypto industry seriously.
