The dollar, the cornerstone of the global financial system, once again finds itself at the heart of a geopolitical controversy. Donald Trump accuses the BRICS of wanting to undermine its supremacy. In response, the Kremlin firmly denies any intention of destabilization, stating that the alliance does not target any foreign currency. Behind this tense exchange, one question remains: are the BRICS quietly working to reshape the global monetary order, or is this an alarmist reading of the ambitions of this emerging bloc?

This week, the bitcoin fear and greed index dropped to its lowest level in a year, plunging investors into uncertainty. This sudden decline fuels speculation: should one give in to panic or take advantage of this correction to accumulate at low prices? For Bitwise analysts, this fear phase could actually signal the start of a new accumulation cycle, thus offering a strategic investment opportunity in a volatile market.

On October 16, bitcoin sharply dropped below $108,000, disrupting an already fragile market. Such a sudden fall after a period of stability raises questions about the factors behind this destabilization. This event affects millions of investors and redefines crypto market dynamics.

Coinbase is preparing to list BNB, the flagship token of its historic rival Binance. Such an unexpected gesture contrasts with past tensions between the two giants. In a climate of enhanced regulation and strategic repositioning, this decision could mark a turning point in the power dynamics of the sector. Calculated opportunism or signal of appeasement? This rapprochement intrigues as much as it raises questions.

Bitcoin dropped as it approached its all-time high. In a few hours, the market erased several billion dollars, revealing once again its extreme volatility. Despite this marked correction, several analysts maintain a bullish scenario, estimating that this pullback does not call into question the underlying trend.

Last Friday, the crypto market experienced a brutal reversal, with nearly 19 billion dollars of open interest wiped out in a few hours. A correction of such magnitude, even in an ecosystem accustomed to volatility, immediately caught analysts’ attention and revived fears of an uncontrolled collapse. However, behind this spectacular drop, the first analyses reveal a very different scenario, that of a planned deleveraging rather than a generalized panic.

Faced with persistent inflation, geopolitical tensions, and unchecked money creation, investors are seeking solid refuges. Gold and bitcoin, long seen as opposites, now move in tandem. One is a millennial pillar, the other a digital outsider, but their curves converge at a historic level, reigniting the debate on bitcoin's role as digital gold.

As the global race for artificial intelligence accelerates, Elon Musk returns to the crypto spotlight. In a message published on X, the Tesla CEO presents bitcoin as a bulwark against the inflationary drift of fiat currencies, stating that it is "based on energy" and therefore immune to state manipulation. This stance puts the flagship asset back at the heart of international monetary debates.

In the middle of a market crash weekend, BitMine invested 827 million dollars to acquire more than 200,000 ETH. The company now holds 2.5% of the total Ethereum supply, confirming its position as the leading institutional player on the asset. In a context of massive liquidations, this targeted move reflects a conscious long-term accumulation strategy.

Binance announces a $45 million BNB airdrop following a crash that led to over $20 billion in liquidations. The measure aims to compensate losses of thousands of memecoin traders. This decision comes as the platform faces pressure over its crisis management, marked by technical problems and criticism concerning transparency.

Despite the recent drop in the crypto market, Strategy continues its purchases. The American company acquired 220 BTC for $27.2 million, at an average price of $123,561 per unit. With more than 640,000 bitcoins in reserve, it confirms a continuous accumulation strategy, unique among institutional investors.

A trader operating on the decentralized platform Hyperliquid reportedly pocketed over 150 million dollars by betting against the market a few minutes before a major political announcement triggered a crypto crash. The operation, as spectacular as it is unsettling, revives suspicions of insider trading. A few days later, the same player opens a new short position of 160 million, fueling speculation about his identity and access to information.

Bitcoin is testing a major technical pattern that, in the past, has often marked the beginning of historic rallies. As the crypto attempts another golden cross, the crossover of the 50- and 200-day moving averages, eyes turn to the 110,000 dollar level. This key level could revive the market's bullish momentum if it holds. If it breaks, some analysts fear a sharp cycle reversal.
