Why altcoin season isn't coming back — and what stole its capital
If, after two years of being frozen in ice, Katara and Sokka woke you up to the crypto market, it would seem like 100 years have passed. With Bitcoin soaring to record highs just over a year ago, everyone expected a routine altcoin season, where investors take profits from the top crypto to chase higher returns in altcoins.
Bitcoin Weekly Forecast: BTC shrugs off CLARITY Act setback and hawkish Fed
Bitcoin recovers, trading above $78,000 on Friday, but the 50-week SMA near $78,760 continues to cap its upside. A hawkish Fed outlook, escalating Middle East tensions, and the CLARITY Act's failure to advance in the US Senate could limit BTC upside.

How economic uncertainty changes bullion buying patterns across generations

You’re watching pre-market levels wrong [Video]
If you trade NQ, you’ve probably been told to watch the pre-market high and pre-market low. That part is easy. The harder question is: what are you actually supposed to do when price gets there? Most traders react too quickly, and that’s usually where the trouble starts.
