Treasury Secretary Bessent: Make Iran broke again Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking at the Economic Club of New York, said the U.S. is enforcing sanctions on Iran for “immediate maximum impact,” warning that Iranians should move their money out of the rial.
The goal is to cut Iran’s oil exports from 1.5 million barrels per day to near zero.
His comments came as oil prices fell to multiyear lows on Wednesday, driven by concerns that tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China could slow economic growth and weaken crude demand.
Following Bessent’s remarks, both U.S. crude and Brent prices turned positive, with JP Morgan analysts noting that a decline in Iranian supply is currently the only bullish factor for oil prices.
Bessent also signaled that the administration is prepared to impose full-scale sanctions on Russian energy if it helps lead to a ceasefire in Ukraine. This is a welcome shift from the Trump administration, who so far has only been pressuring the victim of the war rather than the perpetrator.

BTC at a Crossroads: Key Levels & Market Triggers Ahead of NFPWelcome back, guys! I'm Skeptic, and let's dive into today's BTC analysis.
Daily Time Frame Overview
As previously mentioned in past analyses, the 85K level , followed by the 80-82K range , has been a crucial support zone for BTC. So far, price has reacted well to this level, showing strong buying pressure. Additionally, BTC has reached the Pivot Point 4 weekly level , meaning we could expect either a range-bound movement or a potential price rebound. However, the market remains highly volatile due to external factors—mainly Trump's recent actions.
On Sunday , Trump’s tweet triggered a market pump, only to be reversed the following day after his tariff war statements. Given this unpredictability, if you’re looking to buy BTC for a long-term hold, here are two key triggers to consider:
Trigger 1 : Wait for daily candle closure above 90,700 before entering, with a stop-loss below 80,645.37 (~12-13% SL size).
Trigger 2: A breakout above 106,378.17 could be another entry point, with a stop-loss below 90,555.54 (~15% SL size).
💡 Risk Management Tip: In case of a stop-loss hit, limit losses to a max of 5% of your capital to preserve long-term profitability.
4H Time Frame - Futures & Short-Term Setups
Currently, the market lacks direction and is dominated by FOMO trading. Why? Because of high-impact events happening tomorrow, which include:
📊 NFP (Non-Farm Payroll) Data Release🎤 Trump & Powell’s Speeches
These could create significant volatility, making any positions riskier than usual. If you’re looking to trade BTC futures, consider these setups:
Long Trigger: Above 92,200, but for a safer entry, you can wait for confirmation at 94,628.59 or even 98,600 to ride the uptrend confidently.
Short Trigger: Due to the PRZ (Potential Reversal Zone) around 85K and 82K, I personally won’t short here. However, if you must, you could enter a short below 88,213.36, but only if volume confirms the move and RSI enters oversold territory.
🔔 Final Thoughts:
BTC remains highly volatile due to fundamental catalysts.
If you’re unsure, staying out of the market is also a position.

Rate Cuts Are NOT BullishRate cuts in the US have never been bullish for equity markets in macro cycles. The idea that rates coming down from 5% to 4% suddenly making people more creditworthy is a farce because rates never move in anything other than large timeframe tides. These tides reflect growth/inflation expectations, not borrowing costs.
Were Jerome Powell to suddenly become very dovish at the next FOMC meeting it would be a clear signal that the SHTF protocol is in full effect. Powell is more likely to talk away the negative GDP prints as demand shocks due to tariffs/trade deficit imbalances while waiting for more data to make a decision. Labor market has been declining as well but he doesn't want to make a panic decision and also probably feels no personal loyalty to help President Trump out.
Historical average for US inflation is about 3.2% with the 2% target meaning deflation is a possible problem incoming. Current US inflation rate is about 3% which is well inline with the historical average. Powell will never say it but so far his mission has been accomplished. He may cut rates at the back end of the year if necessary but as of this post he has no reason to.
OFFICIAL TRUMP 8X Trade-Numbers (3,656%)Patience is absolutely necessary. This is the same chart setup we have been tracking for months now. Well, weeks actually. And this is a good chart setup.
The fact that the project is heavy, a big market cap., makes it harder to manipulate, but, whales are still whales and they can easily shake the market at all times.
When in doubt, reduce leverage.

The numbers are for illustration purposes only. Leveraged trading is for advanced traders. That is, the player needs to be able to adapt to market conditions and adapt the numbers to personal conditions.
Needless to say, if you have a strong track record and capital you can use higher risk.

USD/MXN: Mexico plans response to US tariffs The White House confirmed a one-month exemption for autos under the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement), following President Trump’s 25% tariffs on Mexican imports.
The exemption has significant consequences for Mexico’s economy, with tariffs expected to add billions in costs for automakers that rely on Mexican production.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum plans to discuss tariffs with Trump on Thursday, before her government announces countermeasures on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the MACD indicator initially showed a potential bullish signal as moving averages crossed upward. However, momentum appears to be fading, and the pair has yet to retest its February 3rd highs.
OFFICIAL TRUMP: Bullish Potential Invalidated? Back To 1,000%+As can be seen here, price action moved below our defined support (now resistance). The question naturally arises, is the previous analysis now invalid? Quick answer, no! We are still bullish and I will explain why.
It is true that the break above resistance makes this chart ultra-bullish, so moving back below can be considered an invalidation. The truth is that the low yesterday is still a higher low compared to 28-Feb. when the All-Time Low was hit. We have both a higher low and also a green close, the session yesterday ended green as a hammer which is bullish.
The bullish case is weaker now in the short-term but the bullish bias and potential remains intact. TRUMPUSDT is set to grow; patience is key.
The low is in and this low was followed by a high volume bullish breakout. This breakout is followed by a retrace, which is a classic and this retrace ends as a higher low. This is standard price action. From this higher low TRUMPUSDT can and will grow.
Even if the market decides to shakeout more people out, we are bullish long-term. You know what I love to say; once we hit bottom, the only place left to go is up.
Notice in early 2025 there is a clear downtrend on the chart. Now, instead of a downtrend the action is sideways. This is the transition period. First down, then sideways and then up.
We are going up next. It can take a few months, a few weeks or simple just a few days.
The potential for growth here is as good as with any other pair.
Thanks a lot for your continued support. It is truly appreciated.
Namaste.
why ELON MUSK keeps talking about a US bankruptcy…I think I’ve figured out why Musk keeps talking about a U.S. bankruptcy…
They have to pay—and pay a lot!
In 2025 alone, a staggering $7 trillion needs to be repaid! 7 TRILLION DOLLARS! (image on chart)
Right now, the U.S. is trying to pull in money from all over the world, which is probably the real reason behind the tariffs.
To avoid bankruptcy, they have a few options:
1. Print more money
2. Cut spending
3. Take on new debt at higher interest rates
4. Declare bankruptcy—admit they can’t pay their debts
That’s why Musk keeps mentioning point 4. That’s why spending cuts are happening so fast. That’s why tariffs are being imposed. That’s why Trump is pushing for lower interest rates. That’s why they launched the Green Card sale. They are trying to save the U.S. from bankruptcy—and the world from a financial crisis.
Obviously, they can’t just slash spending too much. In his interview with Joe Rogan, Musk said it’s not that simple because a lot of high-level corruption is hidden in the system. He even admitted, “I won’t talk about it—if I do, they’ll kill me. It’s too much, and people wouldn’t be able to handle the truth.”
The only real solution might be Bitcoin, which can create virtual money without printing physical dollars—a profitable paradox.
To activate a real bull run that will save high-risk assets like altcoins, the U.S. must start increasing global liquidity. This is the rule—and they will do it. Even rumors about the U.S. handing out money to taxpayers (some sources mention $5K per taxpayer) are aimed at increasing market liquidity.
The end of a bull run always coincides with the highest levels of global liquidity. Currently, many large funds are overleveraged and looking to take some profits to avoid problems. This is always the moment when “large capital” waits for global liquidity to peak before strategically cashing out of positions.
Even with ETFs on altcoins, large funds will gain significant profits through annual fees. They will list any shitcoin just to collect these fees from investors. Moreover, they will control liquidity through ETFs, just as they did with the stock markets. This is an indirect way of “driving the markets like a car.”
$TRUMP Market Update📊 $TRUMP/USDT Market Update
Welcome to today's analysis! Let’s break down the current price action on $TRUMP and what to expect next.
🌐 Overview: $TRUMP Approaching Key Resistance
📉 $TRUMP was in a downtrend after breaking a key support level. Now, the price is approaching the red resistance zone, which was previously a support level before the strong breakdown.
🔄 Current Scenario:
The red resistance zone is a critical level that needs to be broken for a trend shift to bullish.
If $TRUMP successfully breaks above this resistance, it could confirm a bullish trend, with the next target being the blue line level.
However, if price gets rejected, we could see another pullback or consolidation before another breakout attempt.
🔑 Key Levels to Watch
🔴 Resistance Zone: Red Level (Needs breakout to confirm bullish momentum)
🔵 Target Level: Blue Line (If breakout is successful)
🛠️ Trade Scenarios
📌 Bullish Scenario (Breakout Above Red Resistance)
If $TRUMP breaks and holds above the red resistance zone, this would confirm bullish momentum and a potential move toward the blue line target.
📌 Bearish Scenario (Rejection at Resistance)
If $TRUMP fails to break out, we could see a pullback or consolidation, meaning the downtrend could still continue.
📌 Conclusion
$TRUMP is at a key resistance zone—a breakout could confirm a bullish trend, targeting the blue line level, while a rejection may lead to further downside movement. Traders should watch for confirmation before making a move.
USD/CAD holds up OK despite tariffsOK, so it's finally happened. On March 4, 2025, President Trump imposed a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, with Canadian energy products facing a separate 10% tariff. Tariffs on Chinese imports were also doubled from 10% to 20%.
In response, Canada imposed immediate 25% tariffs on CA$30 billion worth of U.S. goods, with plans to extend them to another CA$125 billion in the coming weeks. While USD/CAD maintained a steady upward movement, it is difficult to characterize the move as a broad-based selloff. Maybe this is more of a trade scuffle than a trade war right now?
China announced additional tariffs of 10% to 15% on U.S. agricultural products, effective March 10. Mexico is set to announce its own retaliatory tariffs on March 9.
Now, the focus shifts to Trump’s next move. He has already suggested he will reciprocate the reciprocation. Where does this end? Full blown trade war? Meanwhile, reports suggest he is considering easing sanctions on Russia.
$NVDA to $130, then a crucial decision.Sure, NASDAQ:NVDA is in a downtrend, but the $114 bottom has been confirmed, which should lead to $130. After reaching $130, we'll see if the king is back.
A double bottom pattern is a classic technical analysis formation indicating a significant trend change and momentum reversal from a previous downtrend. It involves a security or index dropping, rebounding, dropping again to a similar level, and then rebounding once more (potentially starting a new uptrend). This pattern resembles the letter "W." The twice-touched low is now seen as a crucial support level. As long as these two lows hold, there is new potential for an upside.
BUY $130 NOW and enjoy the ride

How are 'Stategic Reserve' assets going to react?? Weve had plenty of scepticism come out over inclusion of altcoins in the strategic reserves. News reports on it undermining the reserve.
We have also had Trumps cost cutting and tariffs pushing bearish pressure on the market. While ADA+XRP+SOL are sitting on previous all time highs. Even more troublesome is the unwinding of USDT.
This may pull away one of the largest liquidity providers to the crypto space. This can be extremely bearish.
I am myself however still bullish. I see rising fundamentals and a lot of room for upside in L1s and applications token price.
Trump's Bombshell Strategic Reserve Announcement.Let's summarize the situation.
We were on the edge of slipping into a bear market, with CRYPTOCAP:BTC under heavy selling pressure and looking bearish on daily, hourly, and weekly timeframes.
A lot of people were caught off guard, selling their crypto to prepare for shorts and ending up sidelined—I was one of them, and I’m pissed. Since I live in Asia, I was asleep when it happened, and so was the entire Asian market.
Then, conveniently, Trump announced the strategic crypto reserve, which was originally scheduled for Friday to coincide with the White House crypto summit. Meanwhile, the tariffs are set to take effect on Tuesday.
On the global stage:
- The rejection of Zelensky has pushed Europe to react, with some leaders now considering sending troops to Ukraine. This could seriously complicate things for the Trump administration and potentially escalate into WWIII. No joke, this is a serious situation.
- Israel has decided to destroy Gaza completely and is now enforcing a full-scale siege, which will cause massive international backlash. The situation there never been so bad.
- Recession fears are mounting, and we can see markets starting to shake and correct.
And then Trump drops his crypto reserve announcement…
- This was a sloppy reveal—posted only on his own platform, not on X—which caused panic, as people scrambled to verify the source, thinking it was fake news.
- Even worse, the initial announcement didn’t mention Bitcoin or Ethereum! Instead, they listed CRYPTOCAP:XRP , Cardano, and Solana as part of the reserve, which made people think their accounts were hacked. Later, they corrected it, clarifying that CRYPTOCAP:BTC and CRYPTOCAP:ETH are at the "heart" of the reserve.
So yeah… Sunday night, completely unexpected, and poorly executed.
What does this mean for CRYPTOCAP:BTC ?
- Weekly timeframe: Nothing has changed—it’s still in a serious correction, and a 10% daily pump isn’t enough to reverse the trend. My previous analysis is still valid.
- Daily timeframe: The MACD has reset, and RSI is now in a neutral zone. This suggests a potential short-term pump over the next few days.
- Key levels: Supports at $91k and $80k are back, but $99k remains a major resistance and could reject $BTC.
- Leverage & liquidity: A massive $4.3 billion in longs has been built up, meaning we’re likely to retest the downside to liquidate them.
- CME gap: We just created a 10%+ CME gap, which will most likely be filled.
Conclusion:
Optimism is back, and we could see a short altseason as capital flows into altcoins, now that some are officially part of the U.S. national reserve.
BUT the global situation remains extremely concerning:
- War tensions in Europe and the Middle East
- Recession risks still on the table
- Uncertainty about how this crypto reserve will actually work
This is great news, but going all-in on longs at this point seems risky. How long will this momentum last? More than a week? I’m not sure.
Technically, the correction isn’t over. Unlike December 2024—when Trump’s election happened at the end of a correction, with a bullish MACD crossover—we are now at the START of a weekly correction, which could last until May 2025.
So yeah, fundamentally bullish, but technically, the correction still has room to go.
Trump Pumped the MarketTrump just dropped a game-changer: a U.S. Crypto Reserve, stacking Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). He’s talking big, calling the U.S. the "Crypto Capital of the World." The market lost its mind: BTC surged 8% to $90,828, ETH jumped 13% to $2,516, and the altcoin crew, XRP, SOL, and ADA, exploded with gains of 33%, 22%, and over 60%, respectively. That was the initial rush. Over the last 12 hours, things have settled, prices are holding, but the hype’s taking a breather. All eyes are on the White House Crypto Summit for what’s next.
What’s Really Going On?
This could be massive. If the U.S. government starts holding crypto, it might drag big institutions into the game, and some solid regulations could calm the wild west vibes. But hold up, Trump’s got his own crypto side hustle (think meme coins and sketchy Justin Sun connections), which raises some red flags. The market loved the hype, huge spikes everywhere, but the quick cooldown shows traders aren’t fully sold yet. Other countries might panic or jump on the bandwagon, so expect more chaos either way.
Your Bags: Hold, Buy, or Bail?
If you’re sitting on BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, or ADA, this could pump your portfolio long-term, especially if the summit brings real substance, not just noise. Trump’s involvement, though? That’s tricky, it could warp the market in unpredictable ways. Details are thin, and crypto’s still a rollercoaster. The big pump was exciting, but the quiet after suggests we’re in a wait-and-see spot. Hard proof always trumps promises.
How to Trade This (No Nonsense)
Know Your Coins: Don’t jump in blind. BTC’s the heavyweight champ, ETH’s the smart money, XRP’s got speed, SOL’s lightning, ADA’s eco-friendly, pick what fits your style.
Spread It Out: This market’s a monster, mix in some stablecoins or stocks so you’re not riding one wave.
Stay Sharp: X is your go-to for real-time buzz, cross-check with CoinDesk and Reuters, but filter the noise. Summit news will shake things up.
Protect Yourself: Set stop-losses, volatility’s brutal, and headlines flip on a dime.
Key Levels to Watch: Set alerts, BTC’s $90k- GETTEX:92K is the big fight, ETH’s $2,500 is critical, XRP’s $2.17-$2.50 could swing hard. Stay tight on these.
The Bottom Line:
Trump’s crypto move rattled the cage, but it’s not a free ride. Keep your wits about you, watch those levels, and don’t chase the hype blindly. The summit’s the next big trigger, brace for impact. This is a chess match, not a quick gamble, so trade smart and guard your stack.
