Bitcoin price started a major decline below $86,500. BTC is down nearly 10% 
and might soon test the $80,000 support zone. Bitcoin failed to remain above 
$86,500 and started another decline. The price is trading above $85,000 and 
the 100 hourly simple moving average. There is a bearish trend line forming 
with resistance at $83,200 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed 
from Kraken). The pair might dip further if it trades below the $81,000 and 
$80,000 levels. Bitcoin Price Dips Again Bitcoin price failed to continue 
higher above the $88,000 zone. BTC started a major decline below the $87,200 
and $86,500 levels. The bears were able to push the price below $85,000. It 
spared major bearish moves, pushing the price below $82,000. A low was formed 
at $81,000 and the price is still signaling more downsides. There is also a 
bearish trend line forming with resistance at $83,200 on the hourly chart of 
the BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin is now trading below $83,200 and the 100 hourly 
simple moving average. If the price remains stable above $80,000, it could 
attempt a fresh increase. Immediate resistance is near the $82,000 level. The 
first key resistance is near the $83,200 level or the 23.6% Fib retracement 
level of the downward move from the $90,438 swing high to the $81,000 low. A 
close above the $83,200 resistance might send the price further higher. In the 
stated case, the price could rise and test the $85,000 resistance. Any more 
gains might send the price toward the $85,700 level or the 50% Fib retracement 
level of the downward move from the $90,438 swing high to the $81,000 low. The 
next barrier for the bulls could be $87,000 and $87,500. More Losses In BTC? 
If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $83,200 resistance zone, it could start 
another decline. Immediate support is near the $81,000 level. The first major 
support is near the $80,500 level. The next support is now near the $80,000 
zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $77,000 support in the 
near term. The main support sits at $75,000, below which BTC might struggle to 
recover in the near term. Technical indicators: Hourly MACD – The MACD is now 
gaining pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The 
RSI for BTC/USD is now below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $81,000, 
followed by $80,000. Major Resistance Levels – $82,000 and $83,200.

XRP Community Day Spotlights Institutional Momentum as Ripple Expands Adoption

Washington is trying again to clear a path for federal crypto rules. Talks 
that had stalled are being pulled back into the open as lawmakers and industry 
players head to a White House meeting. The plan, based on reports, brings bank 
executives and crypto company leaders to the same table with officials from 
the administration of US President Donald Trump. Related Reading: Gold, Silver 
Steal The Spotlight As Crypto Hype Fades On Social Media: Santiment White 
House Steps In Reports say the meeting is scheduled on Monday, and is meant to 
smooth over clashes that have held up a draft known as the CLARITY Act. About 
10 bank and crypto leaders are expected to attend. Conversations have been 
quiet for weeks, but bringing them into a formal room raises the chance of a 
fresh compromise. What happens there may not be made public right away, and 
details could still change. Banks Have Real Concerns Lenders want limits 
written into law to stop certain token features from acting like bank 
deposits. They argue that reward-style payments on stablecoins could siphon 
money from traditional accounts. That worry has pushed them to demand clear 
language that keeps customer deposits in the conventional system. Strong 
guardrails are being sought so balance sheets and consumer protections do not 
get muddled. Crypto Firms Push Back Crypto companies say those same rules 
would clip useful features and slow innovation. They point out that users 
expect to earn yields in some crypto services and that strict limits would 
change how people use digital assets. Several firms stepped away from the 
current bill draft after saying it would harm parts of the market. That 
pullback helped stall the process and forced negotiators to rethink 
priorities. Markets Signal Mixed Views Bitcoin has reacted to the back-and- 
forth. Prices moved up on some headlines and fell on others. Traders are 
watching for clear rules; many feel long-term clarity would help markets. 
Short-term moves, though, have been choppy as investors digest each new 
report. The mood is cautious, and that caution has been visible in trading 
volumes and in how quickly prices bounce. Political Timing Matters The Senate 
calendar is tight. Lawmakers who support the bill want something to show 
before deadlines and committee work closes. That pressure could spur faster 
drafting if both sides give some ground. But politics will shape what language 
survives. Some aides say compromise is still possible, while others expect 
more delay. Related Reading: Record Pain: Bitcoin Investors Suffer $4.5B Loss, 
Most In 3 Years A Narrow Window For Action If those at the meeting signal 
flexibility, a revised draft could go back to committee in the weeks ahead. If 
no common ground appears, the CLARITY effort may be parked again. Either 
outcome will leave the industry watching how regulators handle stablecoins, 
custody, and who has oversight between agencies. Featured image from Pexels,

COMEX Silver Inventories Drain Rapidly as Short Squeeze Goes Full Swing

Solana is rapidly positioning itself as a core hub for tokenized finance 
following WisdomTree’s deployment of fund infrastructure on the blockchain. 
The move reflects growing confidence among traditional asset managers in SOL&#8217;s 
ability to support large-scale, regulated financial products with the speed 
and cost efficiency required by modern capital markets. How Traditional Asset 
Managers Expand On-Chain Operations WisdomTree&#8217;s deployment of $159 billion in 
fund infrastructure on Solana marks a turning point for how regulated money 
moves. A research and news site, Genfinity, revealed on X that regulated money 
market funds are now settling natively on SOL, which means institutional cash 
flow assets no longer require traditional banking rails. One of the clearest 
signals is the Government money market digital fund, which already holds 
around $730 million in on-chain assets. Direct minting eliminates synthetic 
exposure with real Treasury-backed settlement. This allows retail investors to 
access institutional-grade financial products with blockchain speed and low 
costs. The multi-chain deployment is proof that financial institutions 
prioritize performance over narrative. Currently, SOL is processing the same 
regulated funds that previously required correspondent banks and a 3-day 
settlement. The gap between on-chain infrastructure and traditional finance 
products has just collapsed. An industry-leading commentary on the global 
capital markets, The Kobeissi Letter, reported that Coinbase has announced it 
is integrating with Jupiter Exchange directly into its on-chain trading stack. 
With this move, millions of Solana-based tokens can now be traded on Coinbase 
for the first time, all through Jupiter on-chain liquidity. Instead of relying 
on the slow manual process of listing assets on a centralized order book, 
Coinbase is currently using on-chain infrastructure to provide instant access 
to Solana-native markets. Under the new integration, users can deploy existing 
Coinbase balances and payment methods to trade tokens from a self-custodial 
wallet. &#8220;Even the centralized exchanges are moving on-chain,&#8221; The Kobeissi 
Letter noted. Why Liquidity Grabs Often Precede Reversals According to 
Larskooistra, the local context on Solana is fairly conducive to building a 
structure. The Price has already completed a Model 2 accumulation schematic, 
and grabbed all buy-side liquidity while taking the range high and broke 
market structure back to bearish, creating a supply in the process. Related

From a higher-timeframe perspective, this gives a bearish context on BTC 
whenever accumulation models complete themselves and break the market 
structure, and then turn back to bearish afterwards, which shows a full 
reversal towards the lows. Larskooistra expects the equal lows acting as the 
next liquidity target to be taken out, and is looking for distribution 
schematics on the current move up. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from
