  Tolga YILMAZ (@ylmaztlga) reported 2 minutes ago

  @MaxCrypto The CVD breakdown makes the picture quite clear: the majority of the sell pressure during this leg down is Binance-driven, while flows on Coinbase, OKX and Bitstamp appear comparatively muted. This typically signals not broad market risk-off, but localized whale distribution, often aimed at triggering liquidity pockets below intraday support levels. Once Binance’s aggressive sellers push price into a thin zone, the move accelerates as stops and perp liquidations cascade, visible in the sharp drop toward $88.9K. From a market-structure perspective, this doesn’t yet resemble a macro trend reversal. It’s more consistent with inventory rotation by large players, exploiting weekend-level liquidity conditions ahead of U.S. close. The key metric to monitor now is whether CVD stabilizes and whether spot markets, especially Coinbase, begin absorbing. If spot buyers step in, this selling wave likely marks exhaustion rather than continuation. A retest of liquidity around $88.5K–$89K is plausible, but unless CVD continues to trend sharply lower across all exchanges (not just Binance), the probability of a sustained breakdown remains limited.

  @BitstampSupport @Bitstamp Stop acting like you'll move the needle, you won't. I've already alerted you on all support in existence and you just reply to make people feel like you're following up with tickets. You don't. My case is BIT-2306603.

  BTC Lost $73K — Is $70K the Next Stop? In my previous BTC breakdown, I said $72.8K–$73.2K was the key level bulls needed to defend. Now that zone has failed. Looking at the latest Bitstamp daily chart, BTC is trading around $71.8K after getting rejected again from the $81K–$82K resistance zone. This confirms the short-term structure has weakened further. BTC is now forming lower highs, losing key support, and showing little rebound strength. This is no longer just a normal pullback inside a strong uptrend. The market is now entering a more serious downside-risk phase. Here are the 3 levels I’m watching now: 1. $71.5K–$72K — Immediate reaction zone BTC is sitting right on this area. If buyers step in, a short-term bounce toward $73K–$74K is possible. 2. $73K–$75K — Reclaim zone This is now the key upside test. Old support has turned into resistance. If BTC cannot reclaim this zone, sellers remain in control. 3. $70K–$71K — Next support zone If the current area breaks, the next major downside target opens near $70K–$71K. A clean break below $70K could trigger a much deeper correction. My view is simple: Above $75K: structure starts to improve Below $73K: sellers still control the chart Below $70K: downside risk accelerates I’m not trying to call the bottom. I’m watching the levels that confirm the next move. Does BTC bounce here — or is the real flush still ahead? Follow me for more real-time BTC chart breakdowns. Not financial advice.

  BTC has broken below 75K! This is no longer an ordinary pullback. Short-term bears are accelerating their sell-off. Looking at the Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC has fallen all the way from the 82.5K high, and the structure on the right side now looks extremely weak: 80K broken. 78K broken. 76K broken. Now even 75K has failed to hold, with the price struggling around 74.8K. The most dangerous signal is not how much it has fallen, but that every rebound is getting weaker, and former support levels are continuously turning into new resistance levels. During this sell-off, the large bearish candles on heavy volume are very obvious, indicating that this is not simply a washout in the short term, but that the market is actively releasing risk. Next, there are only two key zones to watch: First, 74.3K–74.5K. This is the nearest defense line at the moment. As long as it can still hold, BTC may first see a technical rebound, targeting 75.5K–76K. Second, 75.5K–76K. This is the level the bulls must reclaim. If BTC cannot get back above it, any rebound will look more like an opportunity to escape rather than a reversal signal. My view is very direct: BTC remains bearish in the short term. If 74.3K fails again, the next step could very likely be a direct test of 74K, or even the 73.5K area. Only by reclaiming 76K can the selling pressure from this decline possibly ease. The easiest mistake to make right now is rushing to buy the dip after seeing one small green candle. In a downtrend, a rebound does not equal a reversal. Do you think BTC will rebound back to 76K first, or continue falling toward 73.5K? Comment “Rebound” or “Keep Falling.” Follow me. I will continue tracking BTC’s next key turning point.

  Iluminary (@iLuminaryAI) reported 10 minutes ago

  MiCA is fully in force as of today, July 1. No CASP license means no legal right to serve EU clients. There's no grace period and no in-between status: an exchange is either authorized or in breach. Binance is exiting the EU, KuCoin is banned, and only around 14 CEXs hold full authorization. Two ways to keep your funds safe: Go noncustodial with iLuminary — hold your own keys, and no licensing gap can freeze or restrict your access. Use a licensed CASP — Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, Bitstamp, Crypto com, Bitvavo, Bybit EU and a handful of others. Always verify the exact legal entity in the official ESMA CASP register before moving anything. Don't wait to get locked out.

  Four “features” I want to see Robinhood ($HOOD) implement @vladtenev @RobinhoodApp International Markets: Open up Europe, Japan, UK, and Canada to US users. Robinhood earns on FX conversion spreads (~50bps), wider securities lending revenue (foreign borrow rates run 2-4x US names), and a premium Gold tier for real time international data and lower fees. Bitstamp licenses + tokenization rails make $HOOD uniquely positioned vs legacy brokers. Forex Trading: Direct currency pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/JPY etc.) with 24/5 access. Robinhood earns on bid/ask spread markups, overnight financing on leveraged positions, and margin interest. Pairs naturally with international expansion, same FX infrastructure, different product wrapper. High margin and recurring revenue. Again can offer lower fees for gold members. Mutual Funds, Bonds, Treasuries: Captures the “safe money” currently sitting at Fidelity and Schwab. Robinhood earns on bond markups and spreads, cash sweep revenue on inflows, and unlocks 401(k) rollover capture (impossible without mutual fund support). This is the single biggest TAM expansion available because most US retirement assets sit in products HOOD literally can’t accept today. Robinhood Funds: Examples “Robinhood Retail Sentiment Index” and ETF that tracks the top 50-100 stocks held by Robinhood users. “Robinhood Crypto and Tokenization Index” ETF that entire crypto economy ($COIN $MSTR $MARA $HOOD) to name a few. Robinhood would make margin on expense ratios.

  @sminston_with I liked this video. One pointer, though. You said that the bottom in 2015 was because of the block size war. That is an error. The blocksize war culminated in Aug 2017. The final dip in Jan 2015 was partly due to a hack at Bitstamp

  @dharmjack01 RE just had its TGE today with listings across Binance, Coinbase, OKX, Robinhood, Bitstamp, KuCoin. CB Ventures took a strategic position. price hit 53 cents earlier. the setup: onchain reinsurance is a $1T market that hasn't been touched. they're offering reUSD at 7% native APR plus 10% in RE rewards. Season 2 incentives running through December distributing 3.5% of FDV. sentiment is bullish short term based on the exchange blitz and RWA narrative momentum. tokenized treasuries just hit $14B onchain, regulatory frameworks opening up for institutional capital in tokenization. bull case: first mover in onchain reinsurance, institutional backing is clear from the listing coordination, competitive yield attracts stablecoin liquidity, perfectly timed with RWA trend that's actually delivering numbers bear case: reinsurance regulation is complex and global, smart contract risk on real world claims, needs massive capital to scale, token could see volatility from early exits despite the listings can't give you price targets. the valuation question is tough this early with limited market data on FDV and circulating supply. structural read: the coordination of those listings on day one of TGE plus CB Ventures backing shows serious market maker support. but success depends on regulatory execution and actually managing real world insurance risk onchain. the yield mechanism needs to prove sustainable under claims pressure.

  @Phillycheepsk8 @UgaMyBuga @SOLOptimus69 Wallet lineage is more of a vanity. Uphold, Coinbase, Bitstamp, et. al. are large exchanges and have funded a lot of consumer wallets (with customer's xrp, ofc). We use activation tree to discover exchange hot/cold wallets. Beyond that, its just something that is good to look at.

  Exchanges like OKX Europe, Bitstamp, or other platforms operating in the EU are the ones that need to apply for: ✅ CASP License (MiCA License) To be licensed, they must meet requirements on: • AML/KYC • Risk management • Customer protection • Asset custody • Trading surveillance • Regulatory reporting This is why Pi's White Paper repeatedly refers to the term: 👉 Admission to Trading Instead of: 👉 Authorization

  @HopefulofNFTs @lookonchain The details largely check out based on Arkham Intelligence and Lookonchain data. The whale accumulated ~154,076 ETH since 2017 at ~$517 avg cost. Recent deposits: 40,251 ETH (~$124M at ~$3,083/ETH) to Bitstamp over 2 days, leaving ~26,001 ETH (~$80.16M). Profits from prior sales exceed $100M, with potential for more if remaining is sold. On market impact: Whale sales can add pressure, but ETH hovers ~$3,080, below 20-week MA (~$3,200 per charts). Thread replies note support at $2,800-$3,000.

  @Bitstamp Think a lot of people are closing accounts and pulling money out for good. U may see a crash bigger than ever if this 💩 isn’t fixed immediately. Trust is 1000% gone with the market manipulation and big players not speaking up. Great some clowns are making money on the demise of the stock market and major insider knowledge..but it’s close to being a beyond repairable problem.

  Bitcoin is showing a dangerous signal! If 80K fails to hold, the short term may see a sharp drop first. From today’s Bitstamp 4H chart, BTC is now hovering around the $80,400–$80,800 range. On the surface, it looks like high-level sideways movement, but the structure on the right side is already very clear: the previous two attempts to break through 82K–82.5K both failed to hold, followed by consecutive pullbacks. This shows one thing: selling pressure above is heavy, and the bulls are starting to lose momentum on the push higher. My current judgment is very direct: in the short term, I’m looking for a pullback first, not chasing longs. Next, focus only on two levels: First, $80,000. This is the most important defense line for the bulls right now. As long as 80K can still hold, Bitcoin still has a chance to continue building strength and attack 81.5K–82K again. Second, $79,500–$78,800. If 80K breaks, the short term will likely continue to wash downward and test this support zone. This is the real area that decides whether the bulls can continue to stay in control. The most dangerous thing right now is not that it has dropped, but that it keeps failing to break higher at a high level. Many people see BTC still above 80K and think it will definitely continue to push toward 85K. But people who truly read the market do not only look at where price is standing. They look at: Is there continuation after the breakout attempt? Is there support on the pullback? Right now, the answer is very clear: selling pressure above 82K is obvious, and 80K is getting closer to being tested again. So my prediction is: short-term bearish, first watch the risk of 80K breaking. If 80K breaks, I will look toward 79.5K, even 78.8K. If 80K holds strongly and BTC reclaims 81.5K with volume, then it will have a chance to challenge 82K–82.5K again. One-sentence summary: now is not the position to blindly chase higher, but to watch whether the 80K defense line can hold. If it holds, there is still a chance to rebound; if it breaks, the short term will likely first wash down to 79.5K–78.8K. What do you think about this move? Do you think Bitcoin is washing and accumulating above 80K, or preparing to drop back to 78K to find support again? Type your direction in the comments: bullish, type 1; bearish, type 2. In my next post, I will directly break down: can 80K be entered near here? Where are the real entry and stop-loss levels? Follow me if you want to see the next key levels. Don’t wait until the market has already moved, only to realize you were one step too late again. （Personal opinion only, not investment advice.）

  @PrecisionTrade3 I don't need to share what the count might be other than tell you that it's not this one. you're using Bitstamp which isn't the full data for one...but the bigger issue is you have 13 years for a Wave 1 (2009-2021) and then 2 years for a Wave 3. That just isn't a thing.
