ADA has not changed its character yet. It is still moving in a downtrend, and this recent bounce looks more like a corrective pullback than a real trend reversal.
The main question is simple. Will price get rejected at resistance again. If yes, we could see another leg down.
The key level to watch is 4.336
This zone used to be a consolidation area and now it is acting as strong resistance.
If ADA tests 4,336 and gets rejected, that is usually a sign sellers are still in control and the bearish move can continue.

Downside targets if rejection happens

3,700 as the first support and initial target

3,450 as the intermediate support

3,270 as the longer term support level
What would flip the bias bullish
This bearish view stays valid until the market proves it wrong.
Bullish invalidation happens if ADA breaks out and gets a daily close above 4,520.
if that happens, the next upside levels to watch are

4,520 as the first resistance after breakout

4,736 as the next upside target

Bottom line
ADA remains under bearish pressure. As long as price stays below 4,520, the bias remains bearish and I will be watching price behavior around 4,336 for confirmation.
This is not financial advice. Please use risk management.
What do you think happens next, rejection and drop or breakout above 4,520\

Bitcoin is sitting around $95.5K today, and honestly this market still feels like it’s being driven more by headlines than anything else.

A new MarketWatch piece highlighted Fundstrat’s Tom Lee with a pretty strong message: don’t fight the White House — because in early 2026, Washington is effectively “picking winners and losers.”

And in that same view, Lee still likes Bitcoin and Ethereum as part of a “stronger 2026” theme.

Why this matters for crypto (simple)
Here’s what I take from it:

Macro headlines create fast moves. When policy is the story, price doesn’t move politely it whips.

If the market shifts risk-on, BTC usually leads. Stocks, tech, and crypto tend to turn together when sentiment flips.

BTC becomes the mood indicator. When people feel confident, BTC holds levels. When fear shows up, it breaks support quickly.

BTC levels I’m watching (no overthinking)

Support zone: $94.8K – $95.0K
Resistance: $96.6K – $97.2K
Momentum trigger: A clean 1H/4H close above $97.2K

My simple plan (not financial advice)

If BTC stays above 95K, I’m okay expecting a push toward 97.2K.
If BTC breaks and holds above 97.2K, the next magnet is $98.8K → $100K.

if BTC loses 94.8K, I won’t try to be a hero I’d rather wait for $93.5K area and reassess.

⚠️ Quick reminder: macro news days can be messy. Don’t chase pumps —wait for confirmation.

Do you think BTC hits 100K first… or do we dip one more time before the move? 👇

YZi Labs, the family office of Binance co-founders Changpeng “CZ” Zhao and Yi He that spun out of Binance Labs, has made a “multi-8-figure” investment in Genius Trading, with Zhao joining as an advisor.
Genius Trading is building a privacy-focused, decentralized trading platform that offers spot, perpetual futures, and copy trading features through a self-custodial, cross-chain terminal, aiming to become an onchain alternative to Binance.
“If you were rebuilding Binance today, you wouldn’t do it as a centralized exchange — you’d build it onchain,” said Ryan Myher, co-founder and COO of Genius Trading. “Genius is our answer to what that looks like: one terminal, full custody, no compromises.”
YZi Labs invested in Genius last month, with the “multi-8-figure” investment being well above $10 million, Armaan Kalsi, co-founder and chief executive officer of Genius, told The Block. He declined to disclose the exact size or structure of the investment, whether equity, tokens, or a mix, and also declined to comment when asked if Genius is planning to issue its own token.
What is Genius Trading?
Genius is positioning itself as a unified trading terminal that allows users to access liquidity across more than 10 blockchains, including BNB Chain, Solana, Ethereum, Hyperliquid, Base, Avalanche, and Sui, without bridging assets, switching wallets, or publicly signaling trading strategies onchain.
“We’re building a privacy-specific trading suite that is still in beta,” Kalsi told The Block. “We’re taking our time. Our bet is that the current degeneracy meta in crypto is a great way to acquire users (speculation), but that once they realize the power of the underlying technology, they will want to stay. At which point, privacy becomes an incredibly important feature for crypto to mature and retain users who want to actually build their financial lives onchain.”
Since its "soft" launch last October, Genius says it has processed more than $60 million in trading volume, with usage concentrated among onchain whales managing millions of dollars in monthly trading activity. Behind the interface, the platform uses a custom multi-party computation wallet, proprietary cross-chain routing logic, and direct integrations with decentralized exchanges. Kalsi said Genius has no plans to launch its own blockchain and intends to integrate only with existing chains and DeFi protocols.

A central part of Genius’ technical roadmap is a privacy layer designed to shield large trading strategies onchain. The system, currently in beta, enables users to split large trades across “hundreds of wallets” to reduce traceability while keeping transactions onchain. Genius said the approach avoids relying on offchain components or zero-knowledge systems that can introduce execution delays. A public beta of the privacy protocol is planned for the second quarter of 2026.
Kalsi said the focus on privacy reflects a longer-term view of onchain adoption. He described the trading “terminal wars” as a period of aggressive competition among trading platforms such as Axiom, GMGN, Photon, and Padre, which he said have been competing on customer acquisition costs and feature density. While speculative activity has helped drive user growth across crypto, Kalsi said privacy will become increasingly important as users seek to build lasting financial activity onchain.
Before the YZi Labs investment, Genius raised a total of $7 million in prior funding, including a $6 million round in 2024 and a $1 million extension, Kalsi said. That round was led by CMCC, with participation from Balaji Srinivasan, Anthony Scaramucci, Flow Traders, and other investors.
Genius, built by Shuttle Labs, was founded in 2022, when the core team was still in college at Yale University, Kalsi said. The project initially began as a block data legibility and explorer tool before evolving into a trading platform, he added, noting that the same core team has continued building together since inception. Besides Kalsi and Myher, Genius’ third co-founder and chief technology officer is Brihu Sundararaman.
Genius is headquartered in New York City and operates with a globally distributed team of 11 people, Kalsi said. He added that the startup plans to hire cautiously, potentially adding two to four additional employees in the near future.

Bitcoin is once again charging straight into a major pivot zone, and not just any level this marks the 13th pivot touch in the current structure. Historically, these zones are where confidence peaks… and where the market loves to punish complacency.

Price pumping aggressively into resistance looks bullish on the surface, but context matters. Previous pivots have repeatedly acted as decision points — either launching continuation moves or triggering sharp reversals that catch late longs off guard. The higher the count, the thinner the margin for error.

Momentum traders see strength. Smart money sees positioning risk. When everyone assumes “this time is different,” volatility usually follows.

Bitcoin isn’t doing anything wrong but it is doing something dangerous.

Do we finally break clean… or is this where liquidity gets harvested again?

NEAR rallies, then stalls as resistance caps momentum
NEAR briefly showed strength on Monday, rising as much as 5.7% to $1.73 before sellers stepped in and erased most of the gains. The move came on moderately elevated volume but failed to keep pace with the broader crypto market, raising questions about the durability of the rally.
The initial push higher followed the U.S. market open, with NEAR breaking away from session lows and attracting increased activity. Volume climbed roughly 47% above its 30-day average, signaling renewed interest. However, the buying lacked the sustained intensity typically associated with trend reversals or institutional accumulation.
Price action ultimately stalled at the $1.73 – $1.74 zone, where repeated intraday rejections appeared. A clear rejection near $1.736 marked the top of the move, after which sell pressure pushed NEAR back toward the $1.68–$1.70 area.
From a technical perspective, the session reinforced a range-bound structure. Strong support has formed around $1.66–$1.67 following a high-volume reversal earlier in the day, while resistance remains firmly defined between $1.73 and $1.76. Despite the pullback, NEAR did manage to print higher lows after the mid-session bounce, suggesting accumulation interest near the lower end of the range.
That said, NEAR underperformed the broader CD5 crypto index, indicating that the move was driven more by token-specific flows than sector-wide momentum. Without a decisive volume expansion and a sustained close above resistance, the market is likely to remain in consolidation.
For now, NEAR appears caught between improving short-term structure and persistent overhead supply. A confirmed breakout above $1.74 would require significantly stronger participation, while a failure to hold support could open the door for a rotation back toward the $1.66 area.
