🔥 BULLISH
Raiffeisen plugged Bitpanda into its rails across CEE, putting ~18M bank customers one click from crypto. Another major European incumbent outsourcing brokerage instead of building it. Does the white-label bank playbook now scale, or does MiCA reset the field?
🔥 BULLISH

🔥 BULLISH
Bitcoin traded near $86K after rebounding from $85K, helped by sub-$90 oil, stronger stocks and nearly $1B in spot ETF inflows. But $768M in liquidations and futures volume rising faster than open interest point to a short squeeze, not full conviction yet.
🔥 BULLISH

🩸 BEARISH

🩸 BEARISH
$BTC's drawdown mirrors March 2022: ~40% off the October high of $126K, the same setup that preceded an 18% bounce and then a 50% drop last cycle. The Fed just hiked 25bps, with 75bps more priced and oil above $100 threatening inflation.
🩸 BEARISH
