Once upon a time, Litecoin was dubbed "digital silver," and it was second only to Bitcoin in market cap. $LTC
Today, LTC remains about 90% below its all-time high and is trading at levels the market hasn't seen since 2013.
The main takeaway: even strong and popular crypto projects don't guarantee the preservation of purchasing power over the long haul. Over the past 13 years, LTC holders have essentially seen no significant capital gains, while BTC and some newer assets have shown much better performance.
This is a great example of how in the crypto market, it’s not just about "buy and hold," but also about choosing the right assets and periodically rebalancing your portfolio. 📉📈
After reacting to the US CPI data and Trump's statements, Bitcoin is showing relative strength and continues to hold above key support — the 200-week moving average around $61.8k.
Liquidity beneath the current price has largely been accumulated, so market attention is shifting to the zones of $68k and $75k, where the next targets for buyers are concentrated.
To confirm BTC's bullish structure, it needs to establish itself above the local high of $64.4k. If a successful breakout occurs, the chances of continuing the move towards higher targets will significantly increase. 🚀
🚔 $BTC: another tale of kidnapping for Bitcoin access
A 22-year-old from the USA has pleaded guilty in a scheme involving the kidnapping of individuals to gain access to Bitcoin worth hundreds of millions. The case includes the theft of a Lamborghini Urus, as well as the abduction of the parents of a person believed to possess a significant Bitcoin stash.
The accused was involved in the planning, funding, and surveillance. He faces up to 20 years in the slammer. 🚔
Conclusion: The market has bounced back, reclaiming nearly all of the previous dip and is back above $2.15T. As long as BTC holds above $62k, the chances for a continued rally remain high. For a real reversal, we need to secure above $64–65k. 📈
The platform has racked up direct trading of US stocks at $400M AUM in just the first week. Over 80% of the volume was generated by users from emerging markets.

On Binance, there's over 4,135 BTC in limit buy orders within the $59,000–$61,000 range. This is the zone where demand is already propping up the market.
Meanwhile, short-term holders have seen unrealized losses rise to $16.4 billion — a record for the current cycle. For BTC, this is a clear signal: support is being tested under pressure, but the buyers haven’t given up their positions yet. 🟠
🏦 $BTC Whales quietly bought Bitcoin on the dip to $60,000
"At the bottom in the range of $60,000–$61,000, the whale trading ratio increased to 61.6%, proving that the whales completely dominated the buys and absorbed the panic.".
Conclusion: Buyers couldn't hold the $2.16–2.18T range, and the market has dipped again. As long as BTC stays below $63–64k, the advantage is with the bears. Next key support is around the $60k zone. 📉
