VANRY aka TVK aka new ai layer one aka next 100xVANRY aka TVK is a name you might have heard of. Vanry has a limited 2.4 billion supply, largest whale holds 400 million leaving 2 billion to the masses and the mc is currently holding steady at $300m poised for a gigantic leap. The last play like this was performed by Chainlink. When Chainlink went on it's run from the .20's range it topped at out at nearly $20. It then found support around $7, went on a run up to $53 and is currently sitting at $20. Check out what they're doing over at Vanry. It's one of the most visually impressive web3 projects that I've seen yet. You can currently find this on Coinbase under TVK.

MARA fell on a huge earnings beat LONGMARA fell a few days ago while Bitcoin is staging another leg higher along with other coins.
On the 30-minute chart, MARA is in undervalued territory below the mean-anchored VWAP
and near to the bottom of the high volume area on the volume profile but above the POC line.
This seems to be an obvious long trade for me to take. I will set a stop loss of $1.00 below
market price and a target of $31 halfway between the mean VWAP and the first upper VWAP
the line above it. A call option trade striking $30.00 expiring in three months will be
considered. MARA fell from excellent earnings which apparently disappointed some
traders /investors. The discount sale is hard to resist given the current fundamentals in the
crypto markets.
MSTR slammed earnings beyond the parking lot LONGMSTR while Bitcoin and the whole ETF thing has caused crypto momentum had a good
4QTR23 and 8Xed the analyst's earnings estimates two days ago. The momentum is expanding
as market volume is accelerating. Late afternoon the zero lag MACD showed some recyling as
some early traders took cash off the table. To emphasize however, there is no sign of bearish
divergence on the RSI. This has gained 25% in 3 days. Anyone into the prices needed to acquire
options contracts could consider looking for an option using their own typical selection criteria.
There are others who as price is overextended and it will fade. They say the same thing about
NVDA. For me, I will take a trade here even if the continuation is short lived. At the end of
the day, Bitcoin could go to MIL:1M per each as some of those with crystal balls forecast.
See also small cap miners BTBT BTCS Cleanspark HUT and some middle caps in RIOT and
MARA. It's a buyers' market right now but only if you do not chase. Look on a low time frame
for an oversold undervalued intraday moment and take your trade !
GBPUSD RSI 75 Draw Down and Back UPFX:GBPUSD RSI 75 first time in a good while. I think it will make a big swing before continuing to 1.28, which is not guaranteed obviously)) But looks like it could go down as low as 1.275/ 1.27 if tomorrows news will will not be as per forecast. At the minute I It looks like it will retest at 1.277/ 1.2755. FX:GBPUSD
GBPUSD - Price going forwardWith a more Fundamental approach that was revealed recently, this is my own personal forecast going forward with this pair.
- Cutting NI tax
- Consumer prices slowly coming back down
- Energy costs coming down
We won't feel this impact for a while, over a few months or so when we see it in our Ingoings/Outgoings and have a bit more freedom to buy on luxuries.
I think we will see a new range of consolidation until later news reports reveal the growth of the GBP but before that point, I feel some market manipulation will occur so the Big Players can buy GBP at a much cheaper cost.
*The path drawn isn't to scale, the path is more for the bigger picture of things that we would see on the 4h or Daily TF*

Beautiful Breakout and strong fundamentals - AppLovin NASDAQ:APP has an outstanding chart in my opinion. I've been following this stock for years now and waiting for the right time to get in. Although it's already rallied 70% YTD, the momentum this particular stock has combined with it's increasingly impressive earnings reports make it a strong buy.
They have been steadily increasing cash flow on top of accelerating earnings growth. The last 3 quarters it's beat analyst estimates and it's my personal opinion that we are in the midst of a era where web apps as well as mobile apps are being developed very rapidly, increasingly by individuals and smaller companies.
Net Income, Margins and Returns on Equity and Assets are all increasing. No wonder it's more than quadrupled since it's bottom of $9.00
Think of Streamlit, for you coders, and Snowflake's NYSE:SNOW increasing presence in owning these, and similar technologies. NASDAQ:APP is operating in a similar space and they really offer it all when it comes to building applications for your business.
The estimate revisions are surprising and look very strong going into next year.

AMZN Joins the Dow at an Unusual PhaseThis hugely influential company should have been on the Dow 10 years ago. Listing as a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average usually occurs when a company is about to enter a Market Saturation to Market Decline Phase. However, such is not the case with $NASDAQ:AMZN. It's quite the opposite.
Its fairly new CEO, who was the CEO of AWS, the division of AMZN known for its powerful and totally dominant PaaS cloud technology, has extensive experience in exactly what AMZN needs right now: front running new technologies and driving more new technologies to market introduction faster.
The challenge to be #1 in the use of Integrated Artificial Intelligence and other new technologies in the realm of Cloud Technology is on. Who will win depends on the CEO. Never underestimate the importance of the right CEO for the current market conditions.
The chart of AMZN stock implies a consolidation or platform may develop during the month and a half between earnings seasons. These patterns tend to form due to value-oriented quiet accumulation by the largest institutions while the rest of the market pulls back from buying or sells.
COINBASE(COIN)/BTC CorrelationIn the past months investors have been watching carefully the recovery of Coinbase as one of the biggest partners in the financial industry as crytocurrencies seem to recover from the last downturn. Many investors, traders and fans of crypto have been watching with a lot of hype the launch of the ETFs; which hasn't resulted in what most of them expected: a massive bull run as these instruments got green light from public authorities.
Cathie Wood's ARK investment instruments have been continuously dumping Coinbase shares in the last months, possibly to balance the holdings of the ETF ARKW(ark-funds.com), and the crypto-exchange shows 2 interesting things: certain degree of correlation with BTC and extraordinary earnings.
However the last earnings should have been fuelling this stock but they didn't due to weaknesses in their fundamentals and tough valuations with shallow price targets. If done carefully, COIN can be used to track small spikes in price and short trends in BTC and ETH. The future could be promising for Coinbase, but from a macroeconomic standpoint we are not out of the woods at all.
My observations tell me that the markets like to be bearish on COIN, but for short term wave riding, it could be worth it - just make sure you have appropriate risk management when doing so.
Crypto Regulations: How MiCA Will Affect EU TradersIn the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency, the European Union has taken a significant and important step forward with the introduction of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). This groundbreaking regulatory framework marks a pivotal moment for the crypto market within the EU, promising to bring much-needed clarity and stability to an industry that has long been likened to the Wild West due to its volatility and lack of standardization.
The European Union is a leader in creating legislation for emerging technologies. This became clear with the introduction of GDPR, which protects internet users’ personal data, the AI Act that aims to protect citizens of the EU from malpractice, such as cognitive manipulation of people and social scoring, and now - MiCA. Paving the way forward for others, the EU is evolving its digital legislation frameworks faster than other unions or countries.
This article delves into how MiCA will reshape the landscape for EU traders, impacting everything - from the way they interact with crypto assets to the broader market dynamics they navigate daily.
Why do we need regulations like MiCA?
If there are no regulations, markets can run wild and experience giant increases, however when the fun is over and people lose money to fraud and even large-scale bankruptcy of exchanges - investors, especially institutional ones, will not dare place their money in crypto projects and companies. And since for investors, money is trust - the cryptocurrency market is doomed without proper regulation.
On the flip side, extremely stringent and disorganized legislation can lead to the same outcome. Countries struggle with the abstract nature of cryptocurrencies, and many have expressed an outright desire to ban them, seeing as it is the easier option. That is why MiCA is a well-devised framework for others to follow - It is focused and comprehensive.
Some may argue that cryptocurrencies are meant to be decentralized, unregulated and follow a laissez-faire approach. While this is possible, more so for some cryptocurrencies than others, there can be no growth in these markets as new projects need to have banking and investors behind them to realize their blockchain-based ideas. It is also unrealistic to think that such a clandestine financial system will never cross paths with the regular banking system.
What exactly is MiCA?
The inception of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is rooted in the European Union's recognition of the growing significance of cryptocurrencies and the associated risks in an unregulated environment. The primary catalyst for MiCA's development was the need for regulatory clarity in the burgeoning crypto market, which had been expanding rapidly without a standardized regulatory framework since the birth of Bitcoin in 2009. This lack of regulation posed risks such as fraud, market manipulation and financial instability.
These concerns were heightened by incidents like the surge in initial coin offerings (ICOs), the capitulation of multiple large exchanges and the ironic instability of stable-coins.
MiCA was proposed to provide a harmonized regulatory framework for crypto-assets that are not covered under existing EU financial legislation. The objective was to safeguard investors, maintain financial stability, and promote innovation within a secure and transparent environment. By introducing clear rules, MiCA aims to legitimize the crypto market, making it safer and more attractive for investors and consumers while mitigating the potential for financial crime and market manipulation.
This move towards regulation reflects a global trend of governments and financial authorities worldwide striving to balance the benefits of innovation in the digital asset space with the need for consumer protection and market integrity. As such, MiCA represents a significant step by the EU in establishing a comprehensive regulatory regime for crypto-assets, setting a precedent that could influence global standards in cryptocurrency regulation.
Key Points of MiCA
MiCA introduces several key provisions that are set to transform the crypto-asset landscape in the European Union. The areas that are discussed and regulated the most are the areas where incidents have happened and people have lost their funds. It is important not to make the same mistakes as before.
Exchanges & Brokerages
One of the primary aspects of MiCA is the establishment of stringent authorization requirements for crypto-asset service providers. Under MiCA, any entity aiming to offer services related to crypto-assets, including trading, custody, or advisory services, must obtain authorization from one of the EU's national financial regulators. This process is designed to ensure that providers adhere to high standards of operational conduct, governance, and consumer protection outlined in the legislation. Crypto exchanges have gone bankrupt, been hacked or shut down abruptly in crypto’s short history. The aim of legislatures is to prevent these collapses or stop them in their tracks.
Initial Public / Coin Offerings
Another fundamental component of MiCA is the regulation of public offerings of crypto-assets. Companies intending to offer crypto-assets to the public are required to publish a detailed white paper. This document must provide clear, fair, and comprehensive information about the risks involved, ensuring that potential buyers are well-informed. The regulations aim to prevent misleading practices and enhance transparency in the market. Until now, many ICOs do publish white papers, however they can be purely fictional, written to trick the untrained eye into thinking the project is professionally done. Furthermore, this official process of submitting a white paper will ensure that the people behind the project are known. This will prevent people from faking their identities in order to anonymously scam their clients.
Stablecoins
MiCA also specifically addresses the regulation of stablecoins, which are categorized as either e-money tokens (EMTs) or asset-referenced tokens (ARTs). EMTs are stablecoins pegged to the value of a fiat currency, such as USDT, USDC and BUSD. ARTs are linked to other assets, such as WETH, WBTC. MiCA mandates that stablecoins must maintain adequate reserves and adhere to governance standards. Furthermore, there are stringent rules for stablecoins not pegged to EU currencies, including a cap on the number of transactions per day, aimed at preventing these assets from undermining the Euro. This approach to stablecoins is a response to concerns about their potential impact on financial stability and monetary policy. These concerns are justified, following the collapse of a few large market cap stable-coins during 2022.
Through these provisions, MiCA aims to establish a secure and transparent environment for the trading and use of crypto-assets, ensuring that the rights of investors are protected while fostering innovation in the sector.
Conclusion
The introduction of MiCA by the European Union represents a watershed moment for the crypto-asset market. By establishing a harmonized regulatory framework, MiCA seeks to provide clarity, enhance market integrity, and protect investors, all while fostering an environment conducive to innovation. For EU traders, these regulations offer a more secure and transparent trading landscape, albeit with increased compliance obligations.
The provisions on stablecoins, in particular, demonstrate a nuanced approach to different types of crypto-assets. As MiCA comes into full effect, its influence is expected to extend beyond the EU, potentially setting a precedent for global crypto-asset regulation. For traders and investors, staying informed and adapting to these regulatory changes will be key to navigating the evolving crypto market landscape.
Analyzing the FaZe-Gamesquare Merger: A Potential OpportunityIn the dynamic world of stock trading, the recent discussion of a merger between FaZe Holdings and Gamesquare has stirred considerable interest. As of now, FaZe's current trading price stands at a modest $0.18, while Gamesquare boasts a more robust $1.52.
This valuation difference opens the door to intriguing possibilities for FaZe Holdings investors. The considerable gap in trading prices suggests potential room for movement in FaZe's stock. Savvy traders might see this as an opportunity to capitalize on potential future developments arising from the merger.
However, it's essential for investors to approach this with caution, considering various factors such as market trends, the impact of the merger on FaZe's business model, and broader industry dynamics. While the price differential is noteworthy, thorough analysis and a comprehensive understanding of the market landscape will be key in making informed investment decisions.
