🟡 Economist: gold may fall in the near future

🧮 The specialist warns: the last rally in gold has all the signs of overvaluation, and the metal may enter a correction phase.

Why:
• Gold does not yield interest or dividends — it is a store-of-value asset, not a growth asset.
• Current prices significantly lag behind fundamental metrics.
• Geopolitics and inflation are already factored into the price — there are few drivers for a new leap.

✅ Conclusion: Perhaps the time has come when gold should be considered not as a "growth resource," but as a protection — and only partially in the portfolio.

In the last 60 minutes, a significant liquidation of leveraged positions has occurred:

💥 Total liquidation volume:
$158.69 million

📉 Long positions:
$155.54 million — this is 98.22% of all liquidations.
The market is harshly "punishing" bullish traders.

🐋 Largest liquidation:
Order for $17.81 million in a long position on ETH, liquidated approximately 10 minutes ago.

⏱ Important:
Data is updated every 15 seconds, so in a few minutes the numbers may be different — the market is currently extremely volatile.

• The dominance of liquidations in longs indicates a sharp downward movement.
• Volatility is at a maximum — it is advisable to act cautiously.

💵 The volume of money supply M2 in the USA continues to break records

The M2 volume has once again updated its historical maximum, showing that more liquidity continues to flow into the economy.

📌 Why this is important:
• Growth in M2 means an increase in the amount of money in circulation — deposits, cash, and short-term investments.
• Historically, such spikes have often led to increases in asset prices: stocks, gold, and bitcoin.
• The more dollar liquidity there is, the greater the pressure on inflation and the weaker the purchasing power of the dollar.

💬 Economists believe that the update of M2 maxima could trigger new rallies in financial markets — especially in the context of declining Fed rates.

🚫 Poland is the only EU country that has not yet adopted MiCA

The Polish parliament again failed to advance the MiCA bill:
the presidential veto of Karol Nawrocki was short by 18 votes.

As a result, Poland remains the only country in the European Union that has not yet moved to implement pan-European regulations for the cryptocurrency market.

This may delay the development of local exchanges and fintech, as well as complicate integration into the overall EU cryptocurrency services market.

🐳 The whale just opened a long position at $ETH for $60.98 million with a leverage of 2x.

💥 The risk is high: liquidation is set at $1190.

Such a volume can impact volatility in the short term.

🔹 Meme coins, L2, and DeFi are leading, which often happens after strong sell-offs.
🔹 Bitcoin is slightly up → the dominance of buyers is returning.

📌 If the green momentum consolidates — a wave of a short local bounce is possible within 1–2 days.

🧠 Vitalik Buterin proposed to create an on-chain futures market for gas on the Ethereum network

The co-founder of Ethereum stated that while current fees remain low, users are increasingly concerned about potential gas spikes in the future.

📌 What does Buterin propose?
To create a full-fledged on-chain futures market for gas fees, which will allow:
• to predict future fee values;
• to lock in the gas price for a certain period;
• to make prepayments on stable terms;
• reduce risks for users and projects during peak loads.

🔍 This could become one of the biggest on-chain upgrades for transparency and predictability of transaction costs in Ethereum.
