- 🐳 $1.7B: The 3-Day Streak!
The rotation is officially here! 🌪️ While stocks wiped $700B and Silver tanked -7.7%, Crypto added +$227B with BTC ripping +7%. 🚀 Capital is fleeing overvalued TradFi for undervalued assets.
With BTC still -24% from ATH, the catch-up trade is just getting started. Follow the flows, guys! 🌊
Here’s what we got for you today:
👀 Scalp like a sniper: The 1-hour/day system
⭐ $1.7B ETF streak: Wall St. goes degen
⭐ Coinbase rugs the Senate
🔥 Burning hot takes for the road
Most traders think they need to stare at charts for 12 hours to be profitable. They are wrong. In fact, the more you stare, the more you overtrade 😳.
Today, we are breaking down a purely mechanical scalping system that targets high-precision entries in a specific 60-minute window.
Why the magic happens specifically between 8:30 AM and 9:30 AM (New York Time) and how to catch the liquidity sweep.
We explain the exact 2-candle setup that confirms institutions are stepping in.
How to aggressively move your Stop Loss to break-even so your risk drops to zero almost immediately.
Most people take profit too early. We show you the "Trailing Stop" technique that turns small wins into massive 20R - 30R home runs.
🐂 WALL STREET IS BACK: BITCOIN ETFs PULL $1.7B IN 3 DAYS
If you were waiting for a signal that the big money is done "de-risking" after the holidays, this is it. The suits are back, and they are pressing the buy button with both hands. 🙌
U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs just recorded a massive $1.7 billion in net inflows over a three-day streak. Wednesday alone saw $843.6 million rush into the funds - the highest single-day total since October 7th. Here is the breakdown of who is buying what (and why you should care).
🐳 BlackRock keeps buying… a lot
Once again, BlackRock’s IBIT is effectively eating the entire market.
$IBIT ( ▲ 3.49% ) Inflows: +$648 million (Wednesday alone)
Fidelity ($FBTC ( ▲ 3.39% ) ): +$125.4 million
The Rest: Positive flows across $ARKB ( ▲ 3.54% ) , Bitwise ($BITB ( ▲ 3.39% ) ), and VanEck.
This isn't retail traders buying $50 worth of sats on Coinbase. This is structural, institutional reallocation. After a quiet year-end where everyone played it safe, fund managers are aggressively re-entering the market to front-run the Q1 narrative.
🔄 When BTC moves, Alts start breathing again
The most bullish signal isn't just $BTC ( ▲ 3.49% ) . The liquidity is trickling down immediately:
Ethereum ETFs: +$175M (3rd consecutive day of green)
Solana ETFs: +$23.5M
XRP ETFs: +$10.6M
When you see ETH and SOL ETFs bidding up alongside BTC, it confirms a "Risk-On" environment. Institutions aren't just hedging with digital gold anymore; they are betting on the broader ecosystem (L1s and smart contracts).
What this means to you
We are seeing a classic "Structural Tailwind." The combination of improving regulatory clarity (specifically the Senate progress we discussed earlier) and fresh Q1 capital allocations is creating a perfect storm.
Does this mean "Up only"? Not necessarily. But when BlackRock buys $600M+ in a single day, the floor price of $BTC ( ▲ 3.49% ) gets structurally higher. It takes a lot of selling pressure to undo that kind of buying.
→ Stop trying to short the "overbought" indicators right now. You don't stand in front of a freight train to pick up pennies. The trend is your friend until the flows dry up, and right now, the faucet is wide open. 🚀

🛑 COINBASE HOLDS, SENATE PAUSES: WHY THE CRYPTO BILL JUST GOT DELAYED
The Senate Banking Committee officially canceled the markup of the Crypto Market Structure Bill.
Why? Because Coinbase decided to pull the plug. 🔌
On Monday, the Senate dropped a 270-page draft (classic move, dropping a novel 48 hours before the vote). While Senators Lummis and Scott pushed for clarity, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong spotted red flags that made the bill unsupportable:
The bill aimed to kill "passive" rewards on stablecoins. Imagine holding $USDC ( ▲ 0.0% ) on Coinbase and getting 0% APY forever because banks lobbied against it.
A whole new section appeared out of nowhere, potentially putting impossible compliance burdens on DeFi and infrastructure providers.
The bill didn't do enough to curb the SEC's overreach on tokenized equities.
Coinbase realized that a bad bill is worse than no bill, and they walked away…
🏦 Banks vs. Builders
Let’s call this what it is: Banks vs. Crypto. Wall Street lobbied hard to ban stablecoin yield because they view it as a threat to their low-interest savings accounts. They don't want you earning 5% on-chain when they pay you 0.01%.
Coinbase refused to sign a death warrant for their "earn" products, and without the biggest U.S. exchange's support, the bill collapsed.
🥊 Civil war or Good cop/Bad cop?
Interestingly, the industry wasn't united. While Coinbase went "scorched earth," Ripple (Brad Garlinghouse) and other groups said they were still at the table.
This might be strategic: Coinbase plays the bad cop to kill the bad clauses, while Ripple plays the good cop to keep the door open 🤔 (you think?).
My take on this one
Honestly? Good. We spent years begging for regulation, but we shouldn't accept scraps. This delay proves that the crypto industry finally has leverage. We aren't just taking whatever Washington hands us anymore.
The fact that the Senate canceled the vote because one company said "No" shows how powerful this sector has become. We need rules that protect DeFi and Yield, not rules that turn crypto into a slower, more expensive version of traditional banking.
What investment is rudimentary for billionaires but ‘revolutionary’ for 70,571+ investors entering 2026?
Imagine this. You open your phone to an alert. It says, “you spent $236,000,000 more this month than you did last month.”
If you were the top bidder at Sotheby’s fall auctions, it could be reality.
Sounds crazy, right? But when the ultra-wealthy spend staggering amounts on blue-chip art, it’s not just for decoration.
The scarcity of these treasured artworks has helped drive their prices, in exceptional cases, to thin-air heights, without moving in lockstep with other asset classes.
The contemporary and post war segments have even outpaced the S&P 500 overall since 1995.*
Now, over 70,000 people have invested $1.2 billion+ across 500 iconic artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.
How? You don’t need Medici money to invest in multimillion dollar artworks with Masterworks.
Thousands of members have gotten annualized net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% from 26 sales to date.
