By mid-January, traders had apparently decided that privacy infrastructure was the new black, or at least the next best thing to owning a blockchain-powered umbrella. The question now is: Was ROSE’s surge a case of “look at me, I’m a privacy enthusiast!” or is there actual demand here, or just a bunch of people trying to sound serious about “structural things”?

Behold the pattern, etched in the annals of folly: XRP’s quietude, a deceptive calm, followed by a tempest of price. It is not the steady climb of the virtuous, but the erratic leap of the desperate. Faith wanes, wallets grow light, and then-like a siren’s call-momentum arrives, dragging traders behind it like leaves in a hurricane.

Meanwhile, tokenized funds and RWAs are flexing their all-time highs like they’re at a crypto prom. But let’s be real-liquidity is just playing hide-and-seek, waiting for the perfect moment to waltz back into the spotlight.

However, according to a Bitcoin analyst, history suggests that once this balance begins to shift, the transition into altcoin season is as swift as a magician’s hand-often playing out within a tight one-to-two-month timeframe. One might say it’s the crypto equivalent of a train leaving the station, and the passengers are all waiting for a seat.

Brandt’s chart analysis? A masterclass in doom. He’s spotted a “broadening top” pattern, which basically means Bitcoin’s throwing a party where everyone’s invited… except buyers.

Or, as skeptics might say, “growing confusion.”

The network is ambitiously shooting for a throughput between 15,000 and 35,000 transactions per second-because who wouldn’t want to push their nerves (and servers) to the brink before letting the public in? It’s like inviting your friends over for a dinner party and deciding to cook a five-course meal with only one pot and a microwave.

The tale of Bitcoin’s price is one of contradictions, like a stubborn mule in a windstorm. While the spot ETFs have become the unsung heroes of the crypto plains, soaking up sell-offs with the tenacity of a desert cactus, the macroeconomic sky rumbles with threats that would make a warhorse skittish. Traders, those modern-day fortune-tellers, squint at the $92,000 mark, wondering if this is a mere blip or the prelude to a tempest.

In a move as dramatic as a Bulgakov novel, Portugal’s gambling regulator, the illustrious SRIJ, has decreed the banishment of Polymarket, citing its unholy alliance with illegal crypto betting and the sinister whispers of insider trading. Oh, the audacity of these digital soothsayers, daring to predict the whims of politics and profit from the sacred act of democracy!
