Bitcoin is trading above $105,000, even with the looming threat of war in the Middle East. HYPE, BCH, AAVE, and OKB could also see bids if BTC maintains its current range.
BTC is forming a Doji candlestick pattern on the weekly chart, indicating indecision between buyers and sellers. Despite short-term uncertainty, analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin's prospects in 2025 and expect a rally to $140,000 to $270,000.

Another positive sign is that the geopolitical turmoil caused by the conflict between Israel and Iran has not generated panic among investors. According to data from Farside Investors, U.S.-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded inflows of $86.3 million on Thursday and $301.7 million on Friday, bringing the total weekly inflows to $1.37 billion.

In a post on X, popular trader Cas Abbe stated that models project a target of between $135,000 and $230,000 for Bitcoin in this cycle.

$BTC Bitcoin is trading at $103,800, with a drop of 4.3% following Israel's unexpected airstrike on Iran. The market responds with fear, but beneath the surface of panic emerges a silent phenomenon that could be the true key for Bitcoin to remain strong above $100,000: the consolidation of BTC as an 'algorithmic anchor' in a chaotic world.

Israel's attack on Iran may have triggered a dark swan, but it is also accelerating Bitcoin's maturation as a global benchmark instrument. In this new scenario, BTC is not the risk: it is the axis.

And that is why its permanence above $100K is not only possible but functional to the system that is being reconfigured.

$BTC Bitcoin's significant stabilization above $105,000 is primarily a result of strong institution-driven ETF inflows, which are a testament to growing institutional interest. Analysts predict that maintaining above this level could push prices up to $125,000
High-profile figures like Michael Saylor and Arthur Hayes have a significant impact on market sentiment. Institutional demand from key financiers continues to assure upward momentum and sustained price stability.
The consistent gains in Bitcoin also influence correlated assets like Ethereum, which benefits due to its status as a leading altcoin. With Bitcoin's robust buy-and-hold potential, this cycle marks a distinct shift from previous volatile phases. Market insights indicate that ongoing interest may solidify Bitcoin's standing, as evidenced by escalating ETF participation. Data demonstrates reduced volatility, signaling a significant divergence from earlier cycles and highlighting the increasing maturity of digital assets.

#CircleIPO

Stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group Inc. is going public Thursday, after its IPO priced above its estimated range and additional shares were sold, in a sign that Wall Street is taking digital currencies more seriously.

Circle CRCL 0.00%
raised nearly $1.1 billion by selling 34 million shares at $31 each, through lead underwriters J.P. Morgan, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs.

The stock will start trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CRCL.”
At its IPO price of $31 a share, Circle would have a market capitalization of about $7 billion, based on 225.34 million shares outstanding, if underwriters exercise their option to buy additional shares.
That’s about 4.2 times its 2024 revenue of $1.68 billion. The IPO comes as Congress has been working on a bill to promote cryptocurrencies.

Circle is the issuer of the USDC, a cryptocurrency pegged to the U.S. dollar.

WalletConnect Token (WCT) fell 46.5% in 24 hours due to profit-taking after airdrop distributions and technical overbought conditions, amplified by the cooling of cryptocurrency market sentiment.

2. Correction due to overbought conditions: The RSI-7 reached 77.1, signaling extreme bullish exhaustion.
3. Overall market decline: The cryptocurrency market capitalization fell 1.87%, with altcoins underperforming Bitcoin.

After the meetings between government representatives of China and the U.S. in Switzerland resulted in "substantial progress," more details of the agreements were revealed on Monday. The most important of these was the reduction of tariffs between the two nations for a period of 90 days. According to Reuters, the United States is suspending all tariffs imposed on China this year. This allows tariffs on that nation to decrease from 145% to 30%. Meanwhile, China announced an equivalent measure, lowering tariffs on American products entering its ports to 10% from 125%. Although this is a temporary period of 90 days, it clearly reflects an intention to ease tensions.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that this agreement represents a stage in the process of decoupling the North American country from China. Some experts believe this is a utopia. The costs and labor shortages in the U.S. complicate that perspective, and investors are aware.

$XRP Ripple has published the XRP Markets Report with the aim of providing clarity on its XRP holdings and sharing updates on the state of cryptocurrency markets. The company has maintained that open communication fosters trust and, therefore, has used this report to offer data and analysis that few industry players shared. However, Ripple has acknowledged that the disclosure of information has not always generated the expected effects.

According to the data, XRP recorded an increase of nearly 50% in February, while other digital assets, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, showed more stable or declining trends. This performance positioned XRP as one of the strongest cryptocurrencies in a context of macroeconomic uncertainty.

As part of its expansion strategy, Ripple announced the acquisition of Hidden Road, a global prime broker of multiple assets, for $1.25 billion. The company emphasized that this transaction "drives more institutional use cases for RLUSD and XRPL," which could accelerate the adoption of the XRP ecosystem by financial institutions.

#FOMCMeeting
Bitcoin reaches $98,000 after the Federal Reserve chooses to maintain steady interest rates in response to political pressure.

The decision underscores macroeconomic concerns, leading to heightened Bitcoin dominance as it asserts its status among cryptoassets.

The immediate market reaction was evident with Bitcoin gaining traction, signaling the crypto's relative resilience. As the leading crypto, its performance marked a significant point in the digital asset landscape.

Historically, Bitcoin price surges have correlated with Federal Reserve actions, particularly when uncertainty loomed. Past instances reveal similar trends during pivotal rate announcements.
Based on historical data, analysts suggest that the current on-chain metrics signal further potential rallies. This assessment is supported by on-chain ratios indicating Bitcoin's looming market influence.

Bitcoin (BTC) may move sharply today. It could rise to USD 100,000 if Jerome Powell is more lenient in his stances than expected, or it could drop to USD 90,000 if the tone is harsher than the market wants to hear.
Powell, as we know, has a way of influencing markets beyond what official statements dictate. Bitcoin could plummet today as a result of the speech; the essence remains unchanged: Bitcoin is a scarce, decentralized store of value, resistant to political manipulation and increasingly adopted by individuals, businesses, and governments.

Its maximum supply remains 21 million. Its network continues to operate 24/7 without anyone's permission. And its reason for being remains intact: to be hard money in a soft world.

$BTC the pause in the upward trend reflects uncertainty ahead of the FED announcements. The probabilities of a rate cut are at 1.8%, starting tomorrow.
Rates have remained in the range of 4.25% to 4.5% since January 2025.
Powell's stance (Chairman of the Fed) maintains that the U.S. economy remains strong, with a solid labor market and inflation that does not warrant immediate action.
Although the interest rate decision is important, investors are more focused on Powell's speech, as his comments have generated high volatility in the markets.
When he takes an optimistic stance, the markets consolidate, while a cautious or pessimistic tone tends to trigger a downward trend.

Ripple allocates 25 million dollars in RLUSD to strengthen education in vulnerable communities in the U.S.
The initiative reflects the growing utility of stablecoins as a vehicle for efficient donations with direct impact.
The company behind XRP channels its stablecoin to fund school projects, support teachers, and promote STEM innovation in disadvantaged communities.

The most noteworthy aspect of this initiative is that the majority of the funds will be distributed in RLUSD, Ripple's stablecoin, which currently has a market capitalization of over 316 million dollars.

Since 2018, under the framework of its Ripple Impact initiative, the company has donated more than $200 million to humanitarian causes, educational programs, and blockchain training in over 80 countries.

President Donald Trump said he would give social-video platform TikTok another extension of a deadline to sell to a US owner if it was needed to reach a deal, per Bloomberg.

The reactions of bitcoiners were swift following the Bitcoin ban by Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs.

👎A decision that has been described as "regrettable" by Senator Wendy Rogers: "Politicians do not understand that Bitcoin does not need Arizona. Arizona needs Bitcoin. I will reintroduce my bill in the next session".

🧐The governor's measure "will age poorly," said developer Jameson Lopp. Bitcoin advocate Anthony Pompliano also expressed his stance: "the ignorance of politicians believing they can make investment decisions".

Do you think they will manage to reverse Hobbs' decision?

#Arizona #btc

The Democratic governor of Arizona, Katie Hobbs, vetoed the proposal to create a Bitcoin reserve for that state. This is a blow to the aspirations of the crypto community to have one of the first official reserves in this cryptocurrency.
According to the governor, cryptocurrencies are too risky and retirement funds should not be used to test new markets. Thus, she characterizes cryptocurrencies as untested assets that could jeopardize a program known for its stable results.

The decision of the executive branch makes it clear that Arizona will not have a strategic Bitcoin reserve while it is governed by Democrats. Had this last frontier passed, Arizona would have been the first state in the United States to become an official holder of Bitcoin.

A store of value is an asset that, as its name suggests, maintains its value over time without significant depreciation. Currently, many bet on Bitcoin (BTC) as a store of value. Its main function is to protect wealth against loss of value caused by phenomena such as inflation or economic crises.
For an asset to be considered a good store of value, it must possess certain fundamental characteristics: durability, portability, divisibility, scarcity, and widespread acceptance.

Bitcoin offers a particularity that has never been seen before: BTC reserves cannot be hidden. That is, Bitcoin provides a public and real-time accounting system, which means that if the governments of the world hold a reserve in BTC, anyone can know the amount held by the treasury; this limits the arbitrary power that authorities often exercise over their assets.
