Savvy traders, much like the most discerning of hostesses, employ a variety of tools to analyze markets. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), a creation of mechanical engineer and technical analyst J. Welles Wilder Jr., stands among the most popular, sniffing out trend strength and momentum extremes with the precision of a well-trained hound.
The crypto markets, ever the barometer of collective hysteria, responded with a sigh of relief so profound it might have been mistaken for a yodel. Bitcoin, that digital darling of the financially fickle, experienced a modest resurgence, as though the mere act of Trump’s quill meeting parchment had restored order to the universe.
In January 2026, the crypto market faced a downturn, but signs of recovery emerged by February. Because nothing says “resilience” like a bunch of people nervously high-fiving over a spreadsheet. Despite broader challenges, Avalanche showed resilience, excelling in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Because who doesn’t want to tokenize a toaster?
In a move that’s about as surprising as finding a towel in a hitchhiker’s backpack, South Korean neobank KBank is going full-on digital asset mode just as it gears up to go public. Trademark filings-those thrilling documents everyone pretends to understand-suggest they’re launching stablecoin wallet services. Why? Because the world is tilting towards crypto, and KBank doesn’t want to be left holding the wrong end of the stick (or the blockchain).
But this statue, affectionately dubbed “Don Colossus,” is not merely a tribute to a man with 34 felony counts (and counting). It is, as the New York Times delicately puts it, the centerpiece of a crypto venture so bizarre it could make a Broadway farce weep. Expect legal tussles, financial whiplash, and alliances forged in the fires of desperation.
Data, that cold and unflinching arbiter of truth, revealed Bitcoin’s plight in stark terms: a 4% tumble in 24 hours, a 15% plunge over seven days. Yet, Bitcoin was not alone in its misery. Ethereum, that other enfant terrible of the crypto world, shed 25% of its value, while XRP followed suit with a 17% decline. The sell-off, it seemed, was a communal affair, a tragic ballet performed by assets once hailed as the future of wealth.
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI is expanding into the crypto sector by recruiting a specialist to train its AI models on digital asset markets. This is the sort of move that makes you wonder if the AI will one day realize it’s been working for a man who once tried to buy a banana plantation with a rocket.
“The greatest mass liquidation event in history,” he declared, his voice tinged with a mixture of awe and disdain. A staggering $19 billion evaporated into the ether, with Bitcoin alone shedding $5 billion. Altcoins, those poor fools, plummeted 20-70%-a financial massacre, a carnival of despair. And Weisberger, ever the cynic, whispered the forbidden truth: “Was it manipulation? I damn well think so. I have no proof. But it was just too damn obvious a time for an incredibly profitable attack.”
Apparently, ‘Bitcoin treasury’ is the new black, and SWC is here to prove it. But let’s be real-they’ve also proven that losing $100M in three months is a great way to test your commitment to the bit. (See what I did there? Commitment? Bit? I’ll be here all week.)
Bitcoin has dropped 5% to $75,000, which is basically just a few hundred dollars above its weekend low. Ethereum is down 6.5% to $2,200, and Solana has slipped below $100 like it’s trying to avoid eye contact. Awkward.
