The ol’ benchmark rate sashayed in at 4.39% on March 20 and strutted into this week near 4.40%, according to them folks over at TradingView. That’s a pace that’d make even a Mississippi riverboat gambler blush, mirroring the bond sell-off around “Liberation Day” in April 2025, when yields got so frisky they forced President Trump to tuck tail on tariffs.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally issued guidance on how existing laws apply to cryptocurrencies. They’ve stated that most crypto assets aren’t considered securities, but they’ve also created a detailed system for classifying different types of tokens in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.

Now, the big challenge for our bullish buddies is to reclaim those higher resistance levels without tripping over their own feet.

According to the scribes at CryptoQuant, those holding over 100,000 ETH have emerged from the red, their coffers swelling with newfound profit. A triumph, one might think, yet it is a victory fraught with irony. For these grandees, with their long investment horizons, are the puppeteers of market trends, their every move a potential harbinger of doom or deliverance.
The Iran war has single-handedly soured the macro environment for risk-takers in financial markets, and some participants are betting it could end soon. Yes, you read that right. A handful of money-hungry dreamers have decided to gamble on peace as if it’s a five-dollar scratch-off ticket at a gas station.
As an analyst, I’m seeing US stock market futures decline this morning. This seems to be a direct reaction to President Trump’s recent statement setting a 48-hour deadline for Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Investors are clearly concerned about potential disruptions in that key shipping lane.
According to ZachXBT’s latest thread, this shadowy cabal operated more than 10 accounts, all peddling doom and gloom during the Middle East chaos. It’s like a horror movie, but the monster is a LinkedIn profile with 1,000 followers.
Two money flow indicators, like two quarreling lovers, send conflicting signals-bearish breakdown or potential reversal? Traders, caught in this dance, must choose their side with the care of a man picking a duel partner.
XRP took a nosedive below the $1.40 mark after experiencing a sharp wave of selling, and is now engaged in a rather futile struggle to recover, much like a pancake trying to flip itself. The recent weak bounce suggests that sellers are still throwing their weight around like overenthusiastic bouncers at a nightclub, keeping the token firmly under pressure while traders squint suspiciously for any signs of stabilization.
