In Dumb Money, the same stock surge creates two emotional worlds at once. Retail investors refresh their phones in disbelief as small bets turn into life-changing gains. Hedge funds sit in silence watching billions evaporate. The numbers are identical. The experience isn’t. One side feels freedom. The other feels humiliation. Markets are neutral — your position decides whether it’s a miracle or a meltdown.

🇺🇸 CZ returns to the US and shows up at Trump’s crypto summit
Changpeng Zhao visited the US for the first time after serving his sentence and attended the World Liberty Financial crypto summit at Donald Trump’s residence.
➡️ Binance previously admitted US violations and paid a $3.4B fine.
➡️ Zhao paid $50M personally, served 4 months in prison, and received a pardon from Trump in 2025.
➡️ Media had reported possible links between WLFI and Binance around the USD1 stablecoin launch, but both sides deny it.

Gold is trading near $4,980 while silver sits around $78, putting the gold-to-silver ratio close to 64:1.
That number looks normal at first glance — but once you compare it to physical supply and vault data, the imbalance becomes hard to ignore.
Mining ratio: ~1:8 For every ounce of gold mined, roughly eight ounces of silver come out of the ground.
COMEX vault ratio: ~1:11 Exchange inventories show far more silver relative to gold.
LBMA vault ratio: ~1:3 London vault holdings suggest silver is significantly tighter relative to gold.
Yet despite these realities, the market price still values gold at 64 times silver.
This gap exists largely because gold is treated as a monetary reserve asset by central banks, while silver trades primarily as an industrial metal. Paper markets, derivatives, and institutional positioning also play a major role in keeping the ratio elevated.
But history shows that extreme divergences don’t last forever.
When the ratio compresses, it rarely moves slowly — it snaps.
That move can happen through:
• silver outperforming gold • gold correcting while silver holds firm • or a liquidity event that reprices both metals
If silver begins to catch up even partially, the upside move can be explosive due to its smaller market size and tighter physical supply.
For now, the ratio remains stretched.
And stretched systems tend to release pressure suddenly. $XAU $XAG

#WhenWillCLARITYActPass CLARITY Act approval odds just exploded to 90% on Polymarket 🚨 If the CLARITY Act passes, the implications are structural Defined oversight between SEC & CFTC
Reduced regulatory ambiguity for crypto projects
Clearer framework for exchanges and token issuers
Lower long-term legal risk premium across the market The real question isn’t whether this pumps prices immediately It’s whether Washington is finally ready to stop regulating crypto through enforcement and start regulating it through legislation Markets are betting yes. #CLARITYAct
Hecla, a silver mining stock, announced their earnings yesterday. Something jumped out from their report.
These companies are reporting record earnings. The average price of silver (London) during the 4th quarter of 2025 was $54.83 per oz.
Hecla's averaged realized price was $69.28 per oz.
If you go thru each quarter of 2025, they were receiving about $1 to $2 per oz above the average price for each quarter. Then in Q3 of 2025, it was over $3 more above the average price. Then for Q4 they received over $14 more than the average price.
That means the actual silver market is paying WAY higher than the publicly quoted spot price, in order to secure silver supply from miners. $XAG
Dogecoin ($DOGE) price is clinging to support just under the $0.10 mark, trading around $0.0988 as meme‑coin bulls try to turn a shaky bounce into a sustained reversal. Analysts describe the move as a “fragile recovery” after DOGE defended key support but failed to break out of its broader downtrend.
🔸 Market backdrop and key levels
Dogecoin is changing hands near $0.098–$0.099 today, marginally lower over the past 24 hours as liquidity concentrates around a tight support zone. A recent weekly analysis notes that DOGE “is currently trading at $0.099, staging a recovery attempt after successfully defending a critical support zone,” but stresses that “the daily chart confirms that Dogecoin remains in a structural downtrend.”
💬 DOGE After a liquidity sweep and long consolidation, price is now stabilizing near a key base zone.
If this support holds, Dogecoin could begin the next recovery wave toward higher resistance levels. — BitGuru February 18, 2026
Support level at $0.100, much lower than this month’s high of $0.1176,” and now trades below all major moving averages, with momentum gauges stuck in bearish territory. In parallel, bitcoin is trading near $66,879, down about 1.2% on the day, while ether changes hands around $2,466, up just under 1% over the same period, underscoring a cautious, range‑bound majors environment.
🔸 Catalysts and near‑term outlook
Sentiment hinges on two overlapping narratives: regulatory clarity and big‑tech integration. A recent outlook argues DOGE “could reach $0.20 in February 2026” if market growth, meme‑coin rotation and risk appetite align, but stresses that breaking “significant technical resistance levels” around $0.18–$0.20 with high volume is essential. Separate coverage highlights that DOGE’s recent spikes have tracked rumors around X’s crypto‑trading features and potential payment support, with one desk noting the coin “jumped 15.25% to $0.1113” $DOGE

SOL Technical Outlook: Testing Macro Support After Structural Breakdown
Solana remains in a corrective decline after failing to hold the $130–$160 resistance cluster, aligned with the 0.382–0.5 Fibonacci zone. Multiple lower highs within a descending channel and a breakdown below the 0.236 level ($111) confirmed continuation of the bearish structure.
Price is consolidating around $80–$85, just above the macro base near $67, forming a short-term stabilization zone after the drop from $200+ highs. This area is a key decision point for SOL’s next move.
SOL trades below all major EMAs, confirming strong bearish alignment.
The $92–$110 zone (20 & 50 EMA cluster) is immediate resistance, while $125–$145 remains broader trend resistance. Any move into these zones is likely corrective unless reclaimed with strong volume.
Failure to hold the 0.382–0.5 cluster and the break below 0.236 confirmed structural weakness.
Consolidation near $80–$85 suggests temporary absorption of sell pressure.
Breakdown below $80 exposes $67 macro base
Holding support could allow relief bounce toward $92–$110
RSI Momentum
RSI (14) sits near 30–33, reflecting near-oversold conditions.

📌 Summary
Solana is stabilizing near macro support after a prolonged decline. While downside momentum has slowed and price is attempting to hold above $80, the broader structure remains bearish below $110–$125.
A sustained recovery requires reclaiming $111 and holding above the EMA cluster. A breakdown below $80 would likely open continuation toward the $67 macro base.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says prediction platforms are degrading into “casinos” and dopamine-driven betting instead of creating long-term value.
According to him, their growth is fueled mainly by naive users rather than real demand for high-quality information, resulting in a mass but shallow product.
The solution is to shift focus toward risk hedging, such as insuring political and macroeconomic events.
