Crypto now accounts for nearly half of his political-era wealth, raising ethical questions about conflicts of interest. By launching a parody coin, Newsom aims to flip Trump’s strategy, using digital assets not to rally supporters but to satirize and fund opposition.
💡 Feature of the Day:
Bitcoin’s bull market faces a key test as traders eye the $100,000 support level. Popular trader Roman warned that losing this threshold could officially end the bull cycle, with bearish divergence suggesting weakening momentum.
$BTC 1D
Definitely looks ugly as we’ve lost our uptrend and 112k support.
98-100k is the level to watch. We lose that and *officially* confirms the bull run being over.
HTF still showing lots of exhaustion shown in my previous posts.

A dip below could trigger panic selling, especially as prices have already slipped 15% from recent highs above $125,000.
$BTC is sitting on a major weekly support.
Hidden bullish divergence showing up, the rally isn’t done.
If this level holds, a new ATH in the next 4–6 weeks is on the table.
That’s not hope. That’s structure.

Still, optimism remains among other analysts. Some point to a bullish RSI divergence as a sign selling pressure may be waning, setting the stage for a rebound.
It's quite clear that we're, in the short term, not in an uptrend on #Bitcoin.
I'm targeting the area around $102-104K for support.
I still think that this is the best period to accumulate your positions on.

Traders view the $100,000–$104,000 range as an accumulation zone, with many calling the current dip a prime buying opportunity.
Love this analysis. The hidden bullish divergence on the weekly is a powerful signal. The market is consolidating before the next leg up, exactly as the post says.
