đ¨đ¨ $1.5B Bybit Hack Exposes Critical Flaws; Global Manhunt for Laundered ETH Intensifies đ¨đ¨
The crypto industry is reeling from one of the largest and most sophisticated breaches in history: the $1.5 billion Bybit hack on February 21, 2025. Attackers exploited a shocking vulnerabilityâUI manipulationâto trick multisig wallet signers into approving malicious transactions, proving even "secure" systems can crumble under social engineering. The stolen ETH was then funneled through a labyrinth of DeFi protocols, cross-chain bridges (like Thorchain and RenBridge), and non-compliant exchanges, with GarantEX emerging as a key player in laundering efforts.
đĄ Key Updates:
Bybit x Chainalysis Alliance: A 10% bounty ($150M!) is on the table for recovered funds as blockchain forensics teams map the hackersâ moves.
Global Crackdown: Indian authorities arrested an alleged GarantEX co-founder tied to the laundering ring, signaling escalating law enforcement coordination.
1,000+ Addresses Flagged: Crystal Blockchainâs crisis team is tracking wallets in real-time, freezing assets where possible. This case exposes chilling gaps in multisig security and the dark underbelly of cross-chain laundering. As regulators circle, the crypto community faces urgent questions:Â Can decentralized systems balance security with usability? How can exchanges fortify defenses against UI exploits?

Technical Analysis: $BTC Bitcoin is sandwiched between two major levels, the monthly open and the weekly open. Above the monthly we have a clear breakout with clear skies up to 86-88k. Below the weekly open, we could see a breakdown that brings us to new lows. Though currently it feels like both are very dependent on either positive or negative news. Follow today's daily watchlist triggers for a move in either direction.
Wednesday registered the third best day in stock market history, with Bitcoin rising close to 12% from the lows so far. This came after Trump set all reciprocal tariffs to 10% for the next 90 days, yet China's tariffs were upped to 125%. This created immense volatility and caught up the recent losses from earlier this week. Volatility should continue, this should make for a good day trading environment. Not too sure if this move up holds, or if there is anything in store left for markets to go through. So I will continue sitting it out as I prepare for my next major positioning over the next week. Will elaborate on tomorrow's post. Have a good day and trade carefully!!!
$BTC Technical Analysis Market continuing to look heavy here, so I will focus on Bitcoin for whatever flush happens. I still think we are waiting on such a move. I have a few levels marked below, such as the $71400 level and other levels just above. I think that these could be good for limits to be set. I am also waiting on more clarity from global markets. We aren't seeing the best of signs right now. Longs are not to be considered until conditions improve. Will continue to follow the weekly watchlist plan.
#BTCvsMarkets More volatility on Monday as market was headed into NY session. Crypto hit a major low at 3am EST as $BTC hit 74k and $ETH 1400. This has continued the major correction we've been in, but we have yet to see a liquidation wick pop up. We did see fake news during New York session, which pumped the markets by 7-8%, this was mostly retraced. We could see more volatility today, hence why I will keep waiting for new developments. Every day is a new rollercoaster, gotta be careful out there. Have a good day and trade carefully!!
1. This chart has been immensely important to my trading and I am happy to see major levels get respected here. We very rapidly broke ATHs after crossing $3T, setting a new record for the crypto market cap. 2. We saw our first correction of this breakout, leading us back below $3T, which will likely leave us in a consolidation until we get back above that level. 3. Any major retracement to previous highs or psychological levels should be bought up. 4. The ALT-BTC gap could start to close o
1. $ETH has been downtrending pretty hard since the start of the year, with it being down over 40% already⌠Prolonged price action under $2000 is not a good sign, would like to see a reclaim of $2000 soon. 2. The current weekly candle has closed above $2000, but the bear flag on ETH isnât making it easy to bet on a larger breakout into the $2k area. 3. $ETH has not been able to hold breakouts recently due to volatility attributed to recent events. ETHBTC has hit new lows as well, making it hard for ETH to perform.
4. My main scenarios for this week:
1) Look for price to reclaim the $2000 level for a reclaim into previous range levels, where we can see a better decision being made for a breakout. Good target levels are the $2060, $2120, and $2160 levels. 2) Look for a price to breakdown at $1930. This would lead to a breakdown of the bear flag. Good levels below are $1880, $1830, and $1780. This would continue our current correction and seek to form lows elsewhere. #SECCrypto2.0 #ETH
1. Price broke down from the yearly open and has been seeing a wide range since then. Bouncing from 80k to the yearly open last week, then correcting to 80k again. No idea if we continue the range or break down from 80k.
2. Price has developed in a bear flag for the past 2 weeks, indicating potential further downside. We will wait and see what comes next, currently waiting to see if we can stay above the monthly open.
3. My main scenarios for this week:
1) Look for price to break the $88000 level. Look for a continued push to the $89500, $90600, and $92400 levels. Anything below the yearly open at $93500 will continue seeing this large range, a reclaim there could allow us to go back towards $100k. 2) Look for a strong breakdown at the $82000 level, this would bring us invalidation for the recent consolidation and a breakdown of the bear flag. A breakdown of $82000 could lead to a move down to supports at $80500, $78800, and $75600. Forming lows at either of these levels would lead to a strong bounce. #SECCrypto2.0
âď¸ Why BNB Chain Won - PancakeSwapâs Mega Surge: The DEX giant dominated cross-chain volume, fueled by **new token launches** (think: AI-driven projects) and yield farms offering 50%+ APRs.
âď¸ February 13, 2025, marked a seismic shift in the blockchain wars: BNB Chain generated $5.8M in daily fees, crushing Solanaâs $3.3M and ending its 4-month reign. This isnât just about feesâitâs a liquidity revolution.
âď¸ Binanceâs Ecosystem Muscle: BNB Chainâs ties to Binance mean instant liquidity, listings, and user incentives.
đĽ Whatâs Next? BNB Chainâs lead hinges on *sustaining innovation* can it keep attracting developers? Solana isnât dead; its NFT and institutional adoption could spark a comeback. đĽ The Takeaway: Blockchain loyalty is fleeting. Traders chase liquidity + low fees, and today, BNB Chain delivers.

1. Price broke down from the yearly open and has been seeing a wide range since then. Bouncing from 80k to the yearly open last week, then correcting to 80k again. No idea if we continue the range or break down from 80k. 2. Weâd want a reclaim of the monthly open to confirm the range idea. Below 80k will continue flushing into the 70k area.
3. My main scenarios for this week:
1) Look for price to break the monthly open at the $84600 level. Look for a continued push to the $86500, $88300, and $92400 levels. This will continue ranging through last weekâs range. Anything below the yearly open at $93500 will continue seeing this large range, a reclaim there could allow us to go back towards $100k.
2) Look for a strong breakdown at the $80000 level, this would bring us invalidation for the recent lows and a move into prices last seen in November. A breakdown of $80000 could lead to a move down to supports at $77700, $75800, and $73600. Forming lows at either of these levels would lead to a strong bounce.

$ETH $BTC $SOL Thursday stayed mostly flat, with most altcoins seeing deeper corrections before a strong bounce going into Friday. Bitcoin tested its local highs at $68k, with a break potentially coming today. Friday has been the top % day over the last 30d. We'll see how market shapes up over the weekend. Weekly watchlist will be posted on Sunday as usual. Make sure to read up on all updated setups!!

$ETH 's IMPORTANT UPDATE đ¨ inverse chart is breaking below the 4H support (pink zone) + the Quarterly VWAP on 4H, a 4H close below would be very important to send $ETH back to $3500 zone.
The chart is literally a textbook setup in terms of price breaking below trendline impulsively, giving a bearish retest and falling back down, complete textbook move.
I understand that $ETH is lagging alot in comparison to $BTC but you are missing the bigger picture. Grayscale Ethereum fund has seen more than $1.5B in outflows already and they only have $9.2B in total. At this pace, the outflows will be exhausted in around 2 weeks only and then you'd have the same playbook we saw in case of $BTC, $38K - $72K â #BinanceTurns7 #ETH_ETFs_Trading_Today #VanEck_SOL_ETFS #ETHETFsApproved
$ETH Analysis+Signal đ¨đ 1. ETH has been a slow downtrend for June, but it has began building a range as it finds levels to stabilize on. I believe ETH will build a solid higher low here as we approach the ETF listing
2. Keep in mind once the ETFs are listed, Grayscale will go through selling pressure as the ETFs rebalance due to fee differences. This will lead to a corrective period post listing.
đ¸ My main scenarios for this week:
1) Look for a breakout of the trendline as price crosses $3500 which should a breakout towards the $3585 and $3670 level. I do expect ETH to outperform BTC for such a move, hence the high targets. Speculative to say but a local top could align with the ETH ETF listing rebalancing with Grayscale, which will bring selling pressure.
2) Look for a breakdown of the recent support at $3350, this could lead price to move lower and retrace the approval pump. Good levels below are $3280 and $3160.
For when the listing happens, look for ETH to begin correcting as it rebalances, this will be more of an event based trade rather than level based trade. I am unsure where this local top may form or how much the market will move up before this. #ETH_ETFs_Approval_Predictions #ETHETFsApproved #CPIAlert #eth ======================
$BTC Analysis + Signal Alert đ¨ 1. Bitcoin began the week by continuing a strong move down as the selling pressure ramped up. Price reached supports down in the 58k area, where a gap was filled from the last major bounce and then price found stability above the $60k level. This week is setting up well as we are reclaiming major resistance at $62k, this reclaim is leading to a major bounce across the market.
2. The summer seasonality has made things more difficult for trading conditions, but market is still able to give us these range moves to play, level by level.
3. Now that the Halving is in, focus your power on any upcoming uptrends. It wonât beanything instant but it could take weeks to month to begin really pushing.
My main scenarios for this week:
1) Look for a breakout of the $62700 level for a move back towards the mid range at $65k. Good targets as we flip this level are $63300, $64100, and the mid range at $65k. Anything higher than the mid range could begin a move into the higher bound of the range, which is still speculative, so I will not play that yet.
2) Look for a breakdown at the $60k level as that is where the unprotected lows stand, this level is where a larger move down could begin. A breakdown at the $60k could lead to a move down to supports at $59200, $57300, and $55800.
$SEI Guide For a Long/Short Trades đ¸đ 1. SEI saw good resistance at the $1 level once again, and deviated the whole move it had. Since then, it fully retraced the whole range and revisited the yearly open. We are currently under the yearly open as we are looking to begin the week. Unless reclaimed at some point in the week, this doesn't look the best.
2. SEI did break the flag with good momentum. It has been retracing since touching the yearly open but could be setting itself up for a retest and continuation.
3. For a long position, look for SEI to break the yearly open at $0.5602 as it breaks out of the flag, under that and there is no bullish scenario. Good levels on the way out of the bull flag are $0.625 and $0.67.
4. For a short position, look for continued acceptance below the yearly open, with a breakdown near $0.46. Good targets are $0.42 and $0.38. Similar to TIA, this is a new coin so downside volatility is most definitely going to be more violent. ===================================== #altcoins #sei
