The British pound dropped by 0.45% against EUR after the finance minister cried in Parliament and the Prime Minister hesitated to defend her 🇬🇧 Markets saw it as a sign of weak leadership and growing instability, especially after a key £5 billion welfare bill collapsed under pressure from her own party 📉 Well, it so happens that in order to trade forex you need to look not only at the indicators, but also whether the official state officials are crying 🤷‍♀️

Fake Firefox Wallet Extensions Are Stealing Your Crypto 🦊 Over 40 fake crypto wallet extensions were found on the official Firefox Add-ons store. They looked like real wallets — MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Phantom, Coinbase, and others — but sent your seed phrase to scammers. 🔍 This campaign, called FoxyWallet, has been live since April and is still being updated. Some of their extensions had fake 5-star reviews and copied the real wallets' UI to trick users. These attacks contributed to the $2.2B in stolen crypto this year, with most of it coming from wallet compromises. ❗️ Check your Firefox extensions now. If you use browser wallets, uninstall anything suspicious or unofficial immediately, then move funds from these wallets. Star ratings and comments mean nothing — only install from verified developers, check their X page and official website first 🌐

What is MEV and why it matters 💸 🤑 MEV stands for Maximal Extractable Value. It refers to profits that bots or validators can make by reordering, including, or excluding transactions within blocks. 🤖 The most common MEV tactic is a sandwich attack. A bot sees your pending trade, places a transaction just before it, and another one right after. This traps your trade in the middle and forces you to buy higher or sell lower. The bot takes the difference as profit. This can happen on any DEX with no MEV protection. It targets large trades or users who forget to adjust slippage ❗️ A real example: a trader tried swapping $220,000 in USDC to USDT. A bot drained the trade using a sandwich attack, leaving the user with only $5,200. The attacker made $8,000 profit and tipped $200,000 to the block builder to pull it off. 🤔 This happened because the trade was sent directly to the mempool with no slippage tolerance set. The bot saw the transaction early and manipulated the prices. MEV is not a bug. It is a design feature of public blockchains. To protect yourself, always use MEV-protected frontends of DEXs, set slippage correctly, and avoid large swaps in low liquidity pools ☝️ #FAQ

Lighter — the next big airdrop opportunity 🪂 Lighter is a new perpetuals DEX that runs fully on-chain. One standout feature is that it has zero trading fees. 🤔 IMO this project might be a really good airdrop opportunity. Early users earn points for every trade, and while nothing has been officially confirmed, it's likely these points will convert into tokens at launch. You can earn points by trading any perpetual market, the more you trade — the more Lighter points you get 💰 Also, while using Lighter you can deposit your funds in Lighter Liquidity Provider pool and earn 87% APY with your stables. ⚖️ You can trade from two accounts, creating a delta-neutral position (long on one, short on another), and farm points without risking money loss. This is the kind of airdrop that rewards actual usage, not wash trading Lighter is still in early access, so you will need an invite to access the DEX. Here are some codes (only 5 spots available) 👇 🔵 Invite №1 🔵 Invite №2

Everyone panics. Then nothing happens 🔍 The pattern repeats: crisis hits, fear spikes, Bitcoin nukes — then rips 🔼 From Iran to COVID to Ukraine to bank failures, BTC has a history of selling off hard and pumping back even harder once the dust settles. 🔍 Zoom out 60 days from the panic — and BTC often ends up being the best-performing asset on the board. Israel / Iran tension cooled off. US now openly talking about devaluing the dollar and pumping liquidity. Time to buy what they can’t print 🟠

The Senate just passed Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” ✍️ It’s a $3.3 trillion package combining permanent tax cuts, a $50B+ border and deportation program, Medicaid and SNAP rollbacks, and the repeal of green energy subsidies. It also raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. Elon Musk posted that if this bill passed, he’d launch the “America Party” the next day. He called it an “insane spending bill” and said the U.S. needs an alternative to the Democrat–Republican uniparty. 😮 Trump was then asked whether he would deport Musk. He said he’d “take a look” and warned that Musk “could lose a lot more” than just the EV mandate. It’s the beginning of a new political fracture: one side wants to pump the economy through state power, the other wants to dismantle it 🇺🇸 😁 For markets, the signal is clear. Trump is openly saying deficits don’t matter because “growth will make up for it.” That means more spending, more borrowing, and eventually more money printing. The dollar will keep devaluing. Real assets will rise. Stocks, Bitcoin, gold, and land — anything scarce — will benefit from this cycle 📈

The U.S. stock market just printed new all-time highs, while crypto is still dragging (except BTC and just a few strong altcoins). But here’s what most people don’t know 👇 Starting today, you can buy tokenized US stocks like Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia onchain, straight from your Solana wallet 👍 No signups, no KYC, no market hours. These are fully collateralized 1:1 stock derivatives, live on Solana, tradable 24/7 via Jupiter. It’s called xStocks, launched by Backed in partnership with Kraken CEX. Over 55 assets are already listed. 🕯 But be careful — some tokenized stocks trade above their real-world prices, sometimes by 10%+, so always compare with actual stock before buying. This is super bullish because hundreds of millions of people around the world are currently locked out of investment opportunities, but that's about to change 🔗 And by the way, today Robinhood also launched tokenized U.S. stocks for EU users. Tokens will be issued on Arbitrum, moving to its own Layer‑2 soon. The conclusion from this news is obvious - TradFi is rushing to move onchain and become borderless 🌍

€460M crypto scam busted in Spain 💰 A fake crypto investment platform called “FX Winning” scammed over 5,000 people worldwide. Spanish police, with help from Europol, arrested five suspects. 💸 The group moved €460M using fake accounts, crypto wallets, and payment processors. Victims thought they were investing, but the returns were fake. The money was gone the second it was sent. This isn’t an isolated case. Europol warns these scams are growing fast. AI deepfakes, fake influencer ads, and high-yield “investment platforms” are flooding the space. Most victims are regular retail users. If you’re in crypto, remember this: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is ❗️

Here’s my 2026 BTC plan 👇 💰 The “Long term bids” area is where I’ll accumulate for multi-year holding. That zone remains my base case for patient entries. “Area 1” is my expected downside range if we get another macro shock — something like a Taiwan invasion 😨 The “Oversold” zone is unlikely in my view, but if we somehow drop that low, I’ll bid aggressively. That would be a gift. 📈 As for upside, I expect BTC to reach the TP 1 area in 2026. If the rally gets euphoric, we could tag TP 2 — where I’ll consider trimming some exposure. Just my personal plan for the rest of Q3 and Q4. Not financial advice, do your own research 🧠

BTC looks strong 📈 We bounced off major support, shook out weak hands during the Israel-Iran panic, and held the long-term trendline cleanly. Now we’re consolidating right under the key resistance levels 🕯 🔼 S&P 500 just printed new ATHs. No sign of renewed tariff wars. Geopolitical tension cooled off. If this momentum holds, BTC ATHs are likely in July. I'm bullish and positioned long 🔍

Falling Wedge: The Bullish Pattern Most Traders Miss 📈 A falling wedge is a bullish pattern that forms when price action contracts between two downward-sloping lines. Both highs and lows are getting lower, but the lower trendline declines more slowly. This shows that sellers are losing momentum. There are two types of falling wedges: 🟢In an uptrend, it acts as a continuation pattern. The price pauses and consolidates before breaking out upward again. 🔴In a downtrend, it acts as a reversal pattern, often signaling a bottom before a trend change. Both versions look similar on the chart — a narrowing wedge sloping down. The breakout usually happens to the upside. To trade it 👇 1️⃣Wait for a confirmed breakout above the upper resistance line. 2️⃣Look for strong volume on the breakout to confirm the move. 3️⃣You can enter on the breakout or wait for a retest of the trendline. 4️⃣Place your stop below the recent low. 5️⃣Set a target based on the height of the wedge. Falling wedges work best in strong trends and become more reliable the longer they form ✍️ #FAQ

How to Trade This Market Without Guessing Direction 🤔 Altcoins keep underperforming. Most are slowly bleeding out, especially big governance tokens like ARB, OP, UNI, TIA, ATOM, etc. If you want to trade without taking big directional bets, pair trading is your best option. This strategy lets you stay market neutral. You don't need to guess where BTC is going. You just need to bet on what will do better (or worse) relative to other coins. The idea is simple 👇 📉 Short coins that are doomed — Big caps that are overvalued and weak. ARB, OP, UNI are great examples. They’re unlikely to pump and have no real demand long term. 📈 Long coins that are strong — Ones that outperform Bitcoin or at least keep up. Right now, HYPE is one of the few showing strength. Example setup: 🟢Long $10K of HYPE 🔴Short $10K split across ARB, OP, UNI ($3.3K each) 1️⃣If the market rallies, HYPE likely outperforms the junk. 2️⃣If it drops, the junk likely crashes harder. 3️⃣Either way, you’re trading relative strength, not direction. This is a strategy is great for this cycle. It works because most altcoins are slowly bleeding to zero, and only a few have actual demand or momentum. You're not betting on Bitcoin. You're betting that HYPE will beat ARB, OP, and UNI. That’s much easier to predict 🔮

Symmetrical Triangle: What It Means and How to Trade It 🕯 A symmetrical triangle is a chart pattern that forms when price consolidates between two converging trendlines. One slopes down, the other up. Buyers and sellers are slowly reaching an equilibrium. 🙅 This pattern is neutral. It doesn't predict direction by itself. The breakout, either above or below, shows which side won. Breakouts usually happen near the tip of the triangle. A move above the upper trendline signals bullish continuation. A drop below the lower line confirms a bearish breakdown. 🔍 Volume tends to shrink during the formation and rise sharply during the breakout. That helps confirm the move. To trade it, wait for a clear candle close outside the triangle on higher volume. Enter in the direction of the breakout. A common stop-loss is just inside the triangle. 👉 Use context. If the triangle forms during an uptrend, it's more likely to break upward. In a downtrend, it often breaks lower. #FAQ

A Growing Crisis in the Making 📈 The U.S. added $13 trillion in debt since 2020. To put that in perspective: it took over 200 years for U.S. debt to reach $12 trillion. Now, the government adds nearly a $1 trillion of debt every 3-4 months. Today, the U.S. national debt is at $37,02 trillion. 💲In the global beauty contest, the dollar is just the least ugly candidate. But despite being the world’s strongest fiat currency, the dollar is slowly becoming a symbol of inflation and fiscal recklessness. 😂 What does this mean for you? While the dollar still dominates global trade, its purchasing power is fading. Inflation eats into your savings whether you notice or not. This is why smart people hedge. Diversify. Get exposure to assets that can’t be printed. Businesses, precious metals, land, Bitcoin... Anything is better than worthless promises 💳

The World’s Poorest Economies 📊 GDP per capita is just total output divided by number of people. Low numbers flag economies that don’t create much value per person. South Sudan tops the list with just $300 per person per year in economic output. India ranks as the 50th poorest by GDP per capita 🇮🇳 🌍 Most spots on the chart sit in Sub-Saharan Africa where war, weak courts, and commodity dependence keep capital away and industry thin. Small Pacific islands show up too because isolation and tiny markets drive costs up and diversification down. Big countries like India or Nigeria appear for a different reason: huge populations dilute growing output, so the average still looks poor even if the economy is growing fast 🔍

SEI is up 60% in just 2 days — while the rest of the market bled out 🔼 Here’s why 👇 ⏺Top-rated chain in the U.S. Wyoming’s Stable Token Commission gave SEI a perfect 30/30 — the only blockchain to score that high. Higher than Ethereum, Base, and Avalanche. ⏺Circle is holding a SEI bag. According to Circle’s IPO filings, SEI is their largest token position by volume — even ahead of ETH and SOL. Are you holding SEI? 💚

Cup and Handle Pattern: How to Spot and Trade It 🕯 The Cup and Handle is one of the most recognized bullish continuation patterns in technical analysis. It appears during uptrends and suggests that after a short pause, the price might break out and move higher. ☕️ The "cup" part of the pattern is a rounded, U-shaped bottom. It shows a period where buyers slowly regain control after a downtrend, leading to a retest of previous highs. This part should not be too steep — ideally, it's a smooth curve with a healthy correction. After the cup is formed, the "handle" follows. It’s a short-term consolidation or pullback that usually takes the form of a small descending channel or triangle. This part shakes out weak hands and traps early breakout buyers 😱 📈 The pattern is confirmed when the price breaks above the handle’s resistance with a strong candle and volume increase. This is usually the signal to enter a long position. To avoid fakeouts, many wait for a daily close above the breakout level and use a stop-loss below the handle's low 🧠 #FAQ
