The weekends are not a "quiet time" for crypto. Often, it is here that the movement is formed, which the market processes already on Monday.
Here are the key events and factors I am closely monitoring right now:
🔥 1. BTC Options — Post-Expiration Effect This week, the market is digesting a massive expiration of BTC options (tens of billions of dollars). After such events, sharp volatility often follows — market makers are no longer holding back the price. (Investors)
👉 Conclusion: possible strong moves without obvious reasons — this is the "clean" market after hedging.
📊 2. BTC in A

On a volatile market, some are just observing, while others are already placing orders for next week.
👀This weekend, I am choosing a defensive strategy with elements of offense:
▫️ Operating within the (range) — buying near support, securing profits closer to resistance
▫️ Without unnecessary FOMO — only clear levels and confirmations
▫️ Keeping part of the capital in reserve in case of a sharp impulse
📊 The market now is more about patience than aggression. It's better to take stable moves within the range than to chase a breakout without confirmation. #RangeTradingStrategy

#GlobalOilPricesSurgePast $100
A 25% surge in oil prices overnight is a clear signal that the market has entered a high volatility phase. Prices for WTI Crude Oil and Brent Crude Oil are now moving not only due to supply and demand but primarily because of geopolitical factors.
If tensions continue to rise, the next psychological levels could be $120–$130 per barrel. Under such conditions, traders often see impulsive moves and short corrections, creating opportunities for both longs and quick trades.
But after such a sharp pump, the market may experience a short-term pullback to gather liqui

Many people talk about "ISO 20022 tokens," but not everyone understands what is really behind this concept. It refers to blockchain projects that are developed with integration into the new global financial standard ISO 20022 — a system where payments, data, and settlements operate using a unified language of information exchange. In this context, different networks have their own specialization:
XRP — solutions for fast cross-border settlements
Stellar ($XLM ) — international money transfers
Hedera ($HBAR ) — security infrastructure for corporate systems
Algorand ($ALGO ) — scalable payment n

The global financial system is undergoing a major transformation, which many experts call the biggest update in decades. According to SWIFT, by next year, approximately 90% of international payments will transition to the new ISO 20022 standard. The oversight group for this transition includes blockchain projects such as XRP, Stellar, Algorand, and Hedera. The implementation of the new standard aims to make cross-border payments faster and more efficient, reduce operational errors, and build a bridge between the traditional banking system and digital assets. 🚀💳

A nearly 25% oil surge overnight is truly an extreme move for the energy market. Such impulses usually occur only during major geopolitical shocks or supply disruption risks. 📊🛢
Currently, the key drivers for WTI Crude Oil and Brent Crude Oil are:

Possible scenarios moving forward

🟡 Bitcoin (#BTC ): The average mining cost of BTC is approximately $70 027 (MARA). JPMorgan notes that this level often acts as a sort of price support, so drops below it usually don't last long.
🔴 Bitcoin ($BTC ): CryptoQuant analysts consider the rise of Bitcoin above $73 000 to be more of a temporary rebound rather than the start of a full-fledged bullish trend. Arthur Hayes adds that BTC still has a strong correlation with tech stocks, so it's too early to talk about stable growth.

🟡 Bitcoin (#BTC ): The number of $BTC -wallets with any positive balance has hit a new all-time high. At the same time, the number of hot wallets on exchanges is sharply decreasing, indicating active withdrawal of coins into cold storage (Santiment).
