Our intrepid analyst, the ever-astute @follis_, has pointed out the clear breakout above $0.30, confirming that there is indeed a pulse of buying interest following the consolidation phase. The chart, a veritable tapestry of numbers and lines, reveals the formation of an ascending triangle-an emblem of bullish sentiment, or so they say. One can only hope it doesn’t turn out to be a mere mirage in the desert of crypto.
Ah, but the true puppet master in this high-stakes pantomime is liquidity-plaything of speculators and hedge fund aristocrats alike-whose trends can resurrect or ruin the momentum faster than you can say “quantitative easing.”
The Chainlink (LINK) cryptocurrency has ascended to the pinnacle of the 100 largest coins by market cap in the past 24 hours, with its token surging more than 8% to touch highs of $24.07 across major crypto exchanges. This marks the first time LINK has traded above the $24 mark since February 1, 2025, a feat achieved amidst a surge in the total value secured. 🎉
In a shocking turn of events (not really), Kwon copped a plea deal in the Southern District of New York, avoiding a trial that would have been more dramatic than a Korean soap opera 📺. His lawyers and prosecutors cooked up a deal that’ll likely save him from the maximum sentence of 25 years in the slammer. Instead, he might get off with a mere 12 years – a crypto Christmas miracle 🎅.
Delving deeper into the murky waters of market analysis, CRYPTOWZRD has observed that both the daily chart for XRP and XRPBTC closed with all the enthusiasm of a wet blanket on Monday. This unfortunate turn of events coincided with Bitcoin’s price action, which, like a domineering elder sibling, has been pulling the strings of XRP’s performance.
In a social media post that surely woke the ghosts at the Federal Reserve, Trump accused Powell of orchestrating a renovation that cost three billion dollars. That’s enough to buy a small island or a surprisingly luxurious yacht-whichever you prefer, really. According to him, the supposed fix-up that was so *horribly managed* should’ve only set back the government fifty million, tops. Because who needs fiscal discipline when you have $3 billion to burn? 🏗️🔥
And just like a greedy squirrel hoarding nuts, Safety Shot squirreled away a shiny $25 million worth of $BONK-the giggling, bouncing token that’s spreading cheer and chaos-right into its treasure chest. Now, thanks to this trick, our shiny company is practically rubbing elbows with platform growth and token triumphs like a fancy aristocrat at a chocolate banquet.
Do Kwon, the fellow behind Terraform Labs, is considering throwing in the towel in a significant U.S. fraud case. You see, this case is all tangled up with the $40 billion collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin back in 2022. It’s been quite the spectacle, I tell you, quite the spectacle. 🎪✨
Now, here’s the kicker: the stablecoin sector has been growing faster than a weed in a garden. According to DeFiLlama, in early 2024, it had a market cap of $130 billion, which has since more than doubled to a staggering $270 billion. Transak boasts that nearly 30% of its over $2 billion in processed transactions come from stablecoin flows. 🌊💰
The Shiba Inu, Ethereum’s most celebrated meme coin, continues its lamentable descent, its metrics as feeble as a poet’s resolve. 🥀 Data from the ever-watchful Shibburn reveals a burn rate that has dwindled to a mere whisper, dropping 72% on August 12 to a paltry 181,928 tokens-a sum so insignificant, it could scarcely buy a cup of coffee. ☕️ Historically, the SHIB price has danced to the tune of the burn rate; alas, this tune has turned into a dirge. 🎻
