IN THE CRYPTO WORLD: GREEN LIGHT FROM THE SEC FOR STAKING! #MarketPullback #elg #escoin #xrp The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) made a historic move in the cryptocurrency market by announcing that staking activities on proof-of-stake (PoS) based blockchain networks are not considered securities. This decision eliminates the requirement for platforms providing staking services and investors to register with the SEC. This development is seen as a significant deviation from the tendency during the tenure of former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler to view staking as an investment contract (CCN.com, 2025). In a statement from the SEC's Division of Corporate Finance, it was noted that staking activities were examined within the framework of the "Howey Test" and that these activities do not fall under the category of financial instruments, particularly for "collateralized crypto assets" (SEC.gov, 2025). The Howey Test is a four-pronged test used to determine whether a transaction qualifies as a security: an investment of money, a common enterprise, an expectation of profits, and the profits coming from the efforts of others (FindLaw, n.d.). The SEC stated that protocol staking activities are of an administrative or bureaucratic nature, do not involve entrepreneurial or managerial efforts, and therefore do not meet the last element of the Howey Test (Bitcoin.com News, 2025).
JPMORGAN CHASE'S BITCOIN MOVE.... #JPMorgan #elg #escoin #doge JPMorgan Chase announced that it will allow its customers to purchase Bitcoin. The bank's CEO, Jamie Dimon, revealed this decision during the annual investor day, stating, "We will allow you to buy." (Hürriyet, 2025). However, the bank specified that it will not offer custody services for Bitcoin and will only record transactions based on customer declarations. It is known that Dimon has harshly criticized cryptocurrencies in the past. He referred to Bitcoin as a "fraud" in 2017 (Huang, 2025). Therefore, this step is seen as a significant shift in the bank's attitude towards digital assets. The decision is an indication that Bitcoin is gaining acceptance in the mainstream financial world. Other sources indicate that JPMorgan's move aligns with the growing interest of institutional investors in cryptocurrencies. According to Reuters, the bank aims to gain a competitive advantage with this step (Reuters, 2025). On the other hand, the decision not to offer custody services reflects security and regulatory concerns.
US CRYPTO CAPITAL: NEW REGULATIONS FROM THE SEC!!

The new guidelines aim to establish clear rules for the issuance, custody, and trading of crypto assets. Funds and advisors will be granted the right to self-custody under certain conditions, which could encourage innovation in the sector (@muhabbitcom, 2025). Atkins' statements are in line with President Trump's vision of making the US a global crypto hub. The SEC will focus on preventing illegal activities while supporting innovation (SEC, 2025).
US DATA STIRRED THE MARKETS‼️ #TradeWarEases #elg #escoin #xrp The Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for April in the US showed that the annual inflation rate declined to 2.3%, below the expected 2.4% (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2025). This strengthened expectations that the Federal Reserve (FED) may continue to cut interest rates. With the release of inflation data, cryptocurrency markets became active. Bitcoin (BTC) rose from $103,600 to $103,900 before the data, while Ethereum (ETH) increased from $2,500 to $2,522 (CoinMarketCap, 2025). At the same time, the US Dollar Index (DXY) decreased from 101.5 to 101.47, increasing demand for cryptocurrencies (TradingView, 2025).
#elg #escoin #xrp #BTC☀️ Bitcoin has attracted attention in the market with a sharp recovery in the evening hours. However, in the weekly market, price movements are at a critical point between a fluctuation range and a downtrend. In this analysis, we evaluate possible scenarios by examining Bitcoin's weekly technical indicators. We recommend a patient observation to avoid overly pessimistic approaches. Below, we provide a summary through moving averages, Bollinger Bands, volume-energy indicators, momentum indicators, and balanced market analyses. 1. Death Cross and MA30 Trend in Moving Averages In the weekly market, after last week's rises and falls, Bitcoin is approaching the BBI ( Bollinger Band Indicator ) death cross and MA30 ( 30-day moving average ) trend. If the death cross occurs this week, the likelihood of a definite downward trend throughout March may increase. A renewed downward movement in the daily trend could resonate with the weekly cycle, initiating a more pronounced downward move. According to data from TradingView, the death cross ( death cross ) occurs when the short-term moving average crosses below the long-term average and is generally interpreted as a harbinger of a bear market ( TradingView, 2025). 2. Testing the Lower Bound of Bollinger Bands In terms of Bollinger Bands, with the crash on the daily chart, the price of Bitcoin has declined to the weekly Bollinger lower band. This situation indicates that the cyclical trend may come earlier than expected. If a negative ( close occurs this week, the weekly downtrend may be triggered. Bollinger Bands are a tool used to measure price volatility, and touching the lower band often indicates an oversold region )Investopedia, 2025(. Therefore, the direction of the close this week is critically important. 3. Uncertainty in Volume and Energy Indicators The Volume Rate indicator for March VR ) reflects the transfer movement. After this transaction is completed, it will become clear whether there is distribution in the market or a trap. However, the transfer process has not yet been completed this week, which increases the likelihood of the trend continuing downward. The OBV ( indicator has made a new low, but no divergence ) has formed yet and the moving average of the OBV has not turned down. This indicates that the overall trend has not fully formed yet. If consecutive negative days occur, a real collapse may be imminent. According to Glassnode's latest analysis, the decline in OBV confirms that momentum is weakening, but more data is needed for a definitive bear trend ( Glassnode, 2025). 4. Downward Resonance in Momentum Indicators The RSI (Relative Strength Index) and MFI (Money Flow Index) are exhibiting a downside resonance. If there are consecutive bear days, this resonance can literally occur. CCI (Commodity Channel Index), on the other hand, needs to test the zero axis, which strengthens the possibility of a decline. A drop in the RSI below 30 is considered an oversold signal, while a drop in the CCI below zero may indicate increased selling pressure (Investopedia, 2025). Current data implies that the probability of a decline is more dominant than a bullish one. 5. The Necessity of Balanced Market and Patience Balanced market analysis indicates that no direct crash is expected in the weekly chart over the next two weeks. However, weekly negative ( closures are needed to clarify the downtrend. In this case, the end of the Ichimoku Cloud may pull the price towards the cloud. When the time node is reached, the likelihood of the price hitting the cloud increases. Therefore, a patient approach should be adopted when evaluating the weekly chart. According to LiteFinance, tools like the Ichimoku Cloud are effective guides for understanding long-term trends )LiteFinance, 2025(. Summary and Strategy The weekly market of Bitcoin is currently balancing delicately between a consolidation range and a downtrend. Three consecutive bearish candles are needed for the downtrend to begin. Therefore, it will take time for the main trend to become clear, and extreme pessimistic approaches should be avoided. As a short-term trading strategy, the resistance level of 81,500/1,635 can be referenced for selling positions. The market will clarify its direction more clearly in the coming weeks.
WILL THE ALTCOIN BULL SEASON START IN 2025? EXPERTS' OPINIONS #TrumpTariffs #elg #escoin #xrp Eyes in the cryptocurrency market are focused on when the altcoin bull season will begin, alongside the increasing market dominance of Bitcoin (BTC). Jupiter Zheng from HashKey Capital predicts that a significant altcoin season may commence after Bitcoin dominance reaches the 60-65% levels. Currently, Bitcoin's market dominance is around 61%. However, some indicators suggest that the altcoin season has not yet started. CoinMarketCap's Altcoin Season Index is at 29 as of February 21, 2025; this indicates that altcoins have been performing worse compared to Bitcoin. Analyst Benjamin Cowen states that for the altcoin season to begin, the Ethereum/Bitcoin (ETH/BTC) pair needs to rise. The current stagnation in the ETH/BTC pair indicates that altcoins have not yet gained strength. As a result, factors such as Bitcoin dominance reaching its peak and the strengthening of the ETH/BTC pair are expected for the altcoin bull season to start. It is important for investors to closely monitor market indicators.
