I'm seeing an interesting pattern on the OTHERS/BTC chart that’s catching everyone’s attention. This descending triangle that has been forming for 5 years is approaching its peak, and historically, when it reaches this point, something big tends to happen in the market. We're talking about a possible breakout that could significantly change the game for altcoins.
What’s happening now is that Bitcoin is dominating with 56.1% of the total market, but the OTHERS/BTC ratio is at 0.782, very close to a multi-year support level. With the crypto market cap around $2.391 trillion and Bitcoin alone at

I just saw that Intel has made available on Hugging Face the INT4 quantized versions of Alibaba's Wan 2.2 video models. This is quite interesting from a model optimization perspective.
Basically, Intel managed to significantly reduce the size of each model's weights. Each weight that occupied 2 bytes in BF16 now takes up only 0.5 bytes after INT4 quantization. This means the total size drops to approximately a quarter of the original. The tool used was AutoRound.
The three released models are T2V-A14B (text-to-video), I2V-A14B (image-to-video), and TI2V-5B (hybrid text-and-image input). The or

Are you following Tesla's movement? The company is betting heavily on a very ambitious direction: being the first to develop an AGI in humanoid form.
For those not so familiar, what exactly is AGI? Basically, it’s general artificial intelligence, quite different from the AI systems we use today. While current AIs are trained for specific tasks, an AGI would have the ability to reason, learn, and adapt to any kind of problem, much closer to how humans think.
And Tesla sees this as the next big step. The company's vision goes beyond just electric cars. They want to integrate these advanced AI te

I see that gasoline prices in the US have risen quite a bit again now. They reached $3.70 per gallon, which we haven't seen since April 2024. It's interesting to note how gasoline continues to fluctuate significantly depending on movements in the oil market.
This type of fluctuation ends up having a big impact on the pockets of American consumers. Economic factors continue to cause these variations in fuel costs, and it seems we are in a period of higher prices indeed. It's worth keeping an eye on how this will develop in the coming months, because these oscillations tend to affect the economy

I just saw the Crypto Fear and Greed Index at critical levels right now. The score plummeted to 5, which is practically the bottom - we're talking about extreme fear indeed.
Market sentiment is completely negative. Investors are very fearful, and this is affecting everything - from buying and selling decisions to overall market movements. When the fear and greed index reaches these levels, we know panic has taken over.
It's interesting because during these moments of extreme fear, there are usually opportunities, but also a lot of caution. Traders are on the defensive, and that's understandabl

I just saw the news that X is going to make a very significant change to the platform. Nikita Bier, the product manager, confirmed that Grok will completely replace the recommendation algorithm next week. This is considered one of the most important transformations in the platform's history.
The interesting thing is that this new algorithm, called Phoenix internally, uses a Transformer architecture with end-to-end learning. It's not just any change, you know? Elon had already commented on important updates to the AI recommendation system, including the possibility of open-sourcing the code.

What a strange situation... SBF's mother, Barbara Fried, tried to file documents on behalf of her son in prison, but Judge Lewis Kaplan said a definitive no. Basically, he made it clear that only SBF himself or his lawyers can do that, even if he has limited access to computers inside.
The detail is that Barbara Fried requested an extension because her son is having difficulty accessing word processors while serving his 25-year sentence. But the judge did not allow it. He extended the deadline until March 23 for SBF or his legal team to request the extension directly.
Remember that SBF was con

I was watching this RAVE and what happened is quite suspicious. That 66% surge in 24 hours looked like a classic short squeeze, with over 30 million in liquidations. But upon closer inspection of the on-chain data, it's clear that this is a typical meme trap — 90% of the supply is concentrated in the team’s wallets, with only 24% in actual circulation. Basically, they set up a perfect situation to pump and then dump. Several whales moved millions of tokens to exchanges hours before the surge, with no official announcement. The community is calling it a manipulated liquidity trap. Now the price

I just looked at the flow data for US ETFs of SOL and found it interesting. Yesterday, we had a net inflow of over $1.2 billion into these spot funds, which is quite robust. The Fidelity Solana Fund (FSOL) led with nearly $995 million in daily inflows, while VanEck Solana (VSOL) came in second with about $278 million. Just the Fidelity fund has accumulated $152 million since launch.
What caught my attention is that the total assets of these US SOL ETFs have already reached $818 million, and the total accumulated inflow has surpassed $976 million. Considering that these spot funds are still rel

Whenever I see people asking which cheap crypto to buy, the conversation usually falls into the same trap: "Oh, what's the cheapest coin?" But here’s the truth – the price per token alone means nothing. You can pay cents and still be investing in something with a huge market capitalization.
What really matters is understanding why some cryptocurrencies are below $1. Sometimes it’s because they have a massive circulating supply, sometimes because they’re still in the early stages. But the good news? There are promising cheap cryptocurrencies with real fundamentals behind them.
I’ll be honest: i

I see a very interesting movement happening in financial institutions. Natixis just announced a change in its remote work policy, requiring its senior bankers to spend more time in the office. Not only that, Bloomberg reported that several financial institutions are heading in the same direction.
What’s happening is that after all that flexibility we saw during the pandemic, banks are rethinking things. It seems the trend now is to return to more traditional models of in-person work. Senior executives are the first to feel this pressure.
And it’s not just an isolated thing. Many lenders and in

Yesterday I followed Mislav Matejka's analysis from JPMorgan on the decline we saw in the markets. Basically, the scenario is as follows: tensions in the Middle East caused a heavy sell-off in stocks, with the Stoxx 600 dropping 1.7% and the Nasdaq falling 1.1%. Many people panicked thinking that inflation would spike because of oil.
But here’s where it gets interesting. Matejka argues that these concerns don’t make much sense. The market is forgetting that there is an excess of oil out there, which could push prices downward. In other words, the narrative of runaway inflation doesn’t hold up

Oh, so you're looking for cheap cryptocurrencies to get into now? I get that vibe. Many people look for coins traded below $1 thinking it's an easy entry point, but there's an important detail that the crowd ignores: price alone doesn't say anything. A coin at $0.10 with trillions in circulation can have a huge market capitalization, while one with $5 a tiny supply might be worth little. What really matters is the market cap.
That said, there's truth in looking at cheap cryptocurrencies. If you have little capital to start, buying many units of a low-priced token gives that different feeling,

I see Bitcoin recovering and approaching $74,000 now. Yesterday there was that heavy drop of over $8 billion in liquidations, it was intense, but it seems the market is responding well to the news of inflation slowing down. That changes the scenario quite a bit, you know? When inflation takes a breather, Bitcoin usually takes the opportunity to go up. I'm closely monitoring how the upcoming inflation readings will impact, because that tends to influence the next moves a lot. Those waiting for a bigger drop to enter might have missed the opportunity. But it's still interesting for those who wan

I'm seeing here that traders are all hunting for that level of $85k in Bitcoin. An executive from Deribit commented that as long as BTC doesn't recover that level, the long-term trend remains somewhat broken. It makes sense because technically it's an important point. Now with the price at $73.96k, there are many people looking for entry points before it goes higher. The technical analysis folks are hunting for these confirmation signals. Will it be able to close above $85k soon? Many profit hunters are watching this.

I had to look at this analysis from Deribit about Bitcoin and I found it quite interesting. Basically, the folks there are saying that the long-term upward trend is kind of broken at the moment. And do you know why? Because BTC needs to recover the $85k to really confirm that everything is okay.
Looking at the current numbers, Bitcoin is around $73.95K, which means there's still a significant gap to recover that level. According to Deribit's executive, until we see Bitcoin recover and consolidate above that $85K mark, we can't say that the rally is secure.
It's like that critical point that al

Did you see that Charles Hoskinson from Cardano is saying that the Midnight Blockchain will be released next month? This privacy-focused project is generating quite a buzz. I don't know about you, but I'm curious to see what the outcome will be once it actually launches. Privacy has always been a strong point for those working with blockchain, and this feature could really change the game. Will it take off or is it just another hype? What's your bet?

There's an interesting point that people in the market have been talking about quite a bit. Sygnum's CIO is pointing out that Bitcoin may face more pressure in the short term due to the liquidity restrictions we're seeing right now. Makes sense, right? When liquidity dries up, any larger movement causes more volatility.
But here's the important detail: despite this possible sharper correction, the long-term optimistic outlook will remain intact according to the analysis. In other words, it's not a matter of whether Bitcoin will recover, but when.
I would say this is the right perspective for t

Hey man, I saw that Bitdeer liquidated all of its Bitcoin holdings to pour heavy funds into AI data centers. Like, they literally sold everything. It’s a pretty aggressive move, right? The company is betting that the future is more about AI infrastructure than pure crypto mining.
It kind of makes sense considering where the market is heading, but it’s too risky for my taste. People following mining are divided — some see it as a future vision, others see it as desperation. Anyway, it shows how the sector is in transition. AI data centers are now creating real money-making opportunities, while

I just noticed that Bitcoin is approaching a price zone we haven't seen in two years. This is kind of a major turning point, you know? A lot of people have been disappointed in recent months, but now it seems like the movement is gaining strength again.
What catches attention is that this price region is really decisive. If BTC manages to break through here, it changes the game quite a bit. Of course, there’s also a risk of disappointment if it can’t hold, but the momentum is different this time. I see a lot of volume and renewed interest.
Honestly, after so much disappointment we've seen befo
