#CryptoStocks What to know: Bitcoin's market is experiencing stagnation despite positive ETF inflows and regulatory developments, trading between $100,000 and $110,000. Short-term holders and miners are contributing to selling pressure, counteracting ETF-driven demand and maintaining price stability, some analysts said. Long-term investors are diversifying into other assets as bitcoin matures, leading to a potential cooling off in market activity, observers noted.
#PowellRemarks WATCH: Powell holds news briefing as Fed keeps its key rate unchanged Politics Updated on Jun 18, 2025 3:18 PM EDT — Published on Jun 18, 2025 11:21 AM EDT WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve officials expect inflation to worsen in the coming months but they still foresee two interest rate cuts by the end of this year, the same as they projected in March.
Watch Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks in the player above.
The Fed kept its key rate unchanged for the fourth straight meeting Wednesday, and said the economy is expanding at “a solid pace.” Changes to the Fed’s rate typically — though not always — influence borrowing costs for mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, and business loans.

The central bank also released its latest quarterly projections for the economy and interest rates. It expects noticeably weaker growth, higher inflation, and slightly higher unemployment by the end of this year than it had forecast in March, before President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs April 2. Most of those duties were then postponed April 9. The Fed also signaled it would cut rates just once in 2026, down from two cuts projected in March.

#MyTradingStyle I never use more than 10x leverage, even when I’m highly confident in a trade. Most of the time, I stick to 5x. For riskier setups, I set a stop loss around 10–15% PnL to avoid taking a heavy hit. On trades I’m confident in, I’ll widen the stop to around 25%—just in case the market unexpectedly flips.

#VietnamCryptoPolicy VIETNAM JUST WENT FULL CRYPTO LEGIT. Let that sink in: on June 14, 2025, Vietnam officially passed the Law on Digital Technology Industry, legitimizing crypto for the first time in history. 📅 Effective from Jan 1, 2026, this law gives crypto assets legal standing—clear definitions, clear frameworks, and a clear signal: Vietnam’s not here to play. We’re here to scale. ✨ Highlights you can’t ignore: 🔹 Crypto = officially recognized as digital assets (not fiat, not securities) 🔹 Legal clarity on “virtual assets” vs. “crypto assets” 🔹 Full compliance with FATF, AML, and cybersecurity standards 🔹 Lays the foundation for blockchain startups, investor protection, and mainstream adoption 🔥 This isn’t just some policy update. Vietnam ranked Top 5 globally in crypto adoption. The people were early. Now the law is catching up. 💥 Bottom line? This is the turning point from chaos to clarity, from hustle to high-scale. Web3 builders, exchanges, and investors — Vietnam is officially open for crypto business.
#MetaplanetBTCPurchase Metaplanet, the Japanese public company often dubbed "Asia's MicroStrategy," has made another bold move by adding more Bitcoin to its treasury. This strategic purchase signals growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value. With Japan's interest rates near zero and the yen weakening, Metaplanet is turning to BTC as a hedge against fiat depreciation. Their continuous accumulation mirrors Michael Saylor’s approach, reinforcing Bitcoin’s global appeal. As traditional finance battles inflation, forward-thinking firms like Metaplanet are embracing digital assets to protect and grow their wealth. Bitcoin isn’t just an asset — it’s a treasury strategy. 💰🟧
RUNE has broken out of a falling wedge, a pattern often followed by strong upside moves. Price is retesting the breakout zone around 1.55 — a key pivot.
- Breakout confirmed above wedge resistance - Retest of 1.50–1.55 area holding for now - Clean bounce could fuel a rally toward 2.18 (previous high) - Rejection and drop below 1.45 would invalidate the setup
This retest zone decides if bulls take control or not. Watch closely. $RUNE #DYOR
Dogecoin is currently in a trading range and could enter a trend if it breaks the upper and lower lines. We'll have to wait and see what happens. $DOGE #DYOR

XRPUSDT PERPETUAL CONTR...
Price was coiled in a defined OB + FVG combo building pressure while the rest of the market slept. The moment we swept the low into the Order Block, the trade became personal. This wasn't noise - it was alignment.
Why I entered:
Daily FVG + OB overlap - textbook Smart
Money entry zone
Volume spike at the OB low, signaling smart accumulation
Structural BOS confirmation on intraday after sweep
What followed was an impulsive push through inefficiencies, climbing level by level toward pre-defined liquidity pools.
Targets:
TP1: 2.6464 rebalancing zone
TP2: 3.00 clean inefficiency top
TP3: 3.39- liquidity magnet
Trade thesis:
Entry was set between 2.05-2.10, stop placed with precision below the OB. No guessing. Just calculated structure + narrative.
I don't chase moves. I let price come to my zone. And when it does, I strike with full conviction.
Final words:
"Your edge doesn't scream. It sits quietly in imbalance - $XRP #DYOR
This wasn't a pump. It was a re-delivery. Price tapped into the daily Fair Value Gap, respected the zone, and printed structure off the low. The retracement didn't break us it loaded us.
The logic:
The move began from an untouched Daily FVG - clean displacement, low retest, and now price is working its way through old inefficiencies. There's no breakout here.
Just one thing: delivery.
TP: 0.0163-high timeframe imbalance resolution and prior volume pivot
The setup didn't beg. It whispered. And now it's unfolding, with confluence from every angle market structure, volume, and intention.
Execution:
Entry: 0.0109-0.0113 (already in the zone)
SL: Below 0.0092
TP: 0.0163
Let others laugh at frogs. I'm here to extract liquidity from their disbelief.
Final thought:
"The move doesn't care if you believe in it. It just needs a reason to unfold." $PEPE #DYOR
