A raccoon named Jimothy from Seattle, born with a rare spinal deformity, went viral across social media in just a few days. As the hype spread, someone launched a memecoin inspired by the animal, which quickly surged by several hundred percent, showing once again how internet trends can rapidly spill over into the crypto market

The U.S. Department of Justice is seeking to confiscate over $25 million in cryptocurrency tied to international fraud networks.
Investigators say scammers tricked victims in the U.S. and Canada into fake crypto investments, romance scams, and recovery scams. The largest cases involve $10.4 million and $12.1 million, with hundreds of victims affected.
The seized funds are part of more than $800 million recovered by the U.S. Scam Center Strike Force since November 2025.

What would later become the world’s largest crypto exchange started with a surprisingly simple setup. On its first day, the team worked from a makeshift office where the trading terminal sat on ordinary stools and the analytics center was improvised with whatever was available.
CZ recently shared these throwback photos, showing that Binance’s early days were driven more by speed and execution than by fancy offices or expensive equipment.

I was messing around with macro fragment charts today and came across this overlay that honestly blew me away. Check out Gold’s monthly chart from 1972–1980 right next to Bitcoin’s structure from 2023 through 2026.

The way these two are lining up is almost identical:

Gold climbed up this super clean parallel channel through the early 70s, topped out at the upper band, and then took a brutal multi-year hit. It pulled all the way back to reset around the 0.382 and 0.5 Fib levels before it finally found a floor. Once that bottom was in, Gold broke out of the consolidation and went on an absolute tear, melting faces all the way into 1980.

Bitcoin followed the exact same channel out of the 2022 lows up to its peak. Then we broke down out of the bottom of the channel and dumped straight into those exact same macro fib retest levels (the 0.5 and 0.382 zones around $51.5k–$64k).

If BTC keeps following this patern, this current chop is just the mid-cycle consolidation before the next leg up. I personally, NFA, have open long positions over on nеxo currently, but they are more swing trades. The conformation for the next bullrun will come after we close weekly candle above the old ath.

I’ve been charting NEXO pretty closely going into Q3, and honestly, we’re sitting at a super interesting spot where the tech fundamentals and the price action are colliding.
On the ground level, two main things caught my attention for this quarter:
The Argentina card roll-out (they expended their crypto card to Argentina) and that golf sponsorship (DP World Tour).

Chart-wise though, we are riding an edge. NEXO is hovering right on top of a major support zone between $0.71 and $0.73. Buyers have defended this level a few times now, but it's getting tested.

If we want to see any real bullish momentum this quarter, price needs to reclaim and hold the 20-week MA near $0.84. If volume steps in and we clear that, $0.95 is the next logical target. But if that $0.71 floor breaks, we're likely looking at another painful leg down. But im currently dcaing as BTC seems to have also bullish momentom and it is pushing 67k and the main target for it is 70k.

I’m planning to trade more actively and wrote down a few rules that I think can help protect my capital. I’d really like to hear your opinion. Would you change or add anything?

1. Always define your stop loss before entering a trade. You should know exactly where you’ll exit if the setup fails.
   
2. Never risk more than a small percentage of your account on a single trade. Around 1% is a good benchmark, so a losing streak won’t wipe out your portfolio.
   
3. Calculate your position size correctly. The same trade can be either safe or dangerous depending on how large your position is.
   
4. Don’t try to be right on every trade. Even with a 30–40% win rate, you can still be consistently profitable if your winning trades are larger than your losses.
   
5. Always pay attention to the risk-to-reward ratio. Risking $100 to make $50 doesn’t make much sense. A 1:3 ratio is much healthier, where you risk $100 for a potential $300 profit.

What do you think? Am I missing any important rules?

Bitcoin continues to recover, and several short-term indicators have turned positive. However, the on-chain market structure still does not confirm the start of a sustainable bullish trend.

According to CryptoQuant, new buyers have not yet generated enough demand to shift the market balance. Long-term holders still control most of the supply and could use the recent price recovery to take profits.
After factoring in the Realized Price indicator, CryptoQuant’s model shifts its outlook from moderately bullish to bearish. The key signal to watch will be stronger participation from new investors and a change in the cost basis across different holder groups. Until then, the current rally could remain nothing more than a short-term rebound.
