February 9, 2026, Pancake Analysis
Today, Pancake's midday trend is just oscillating around 70,000, with neither bulls nor bears gaining a clear advantage. The price is fluctuating around 70,360, typical of a consolidation phase.
There are no major negative news, and in fact, there are several positive signals: the Fed's rate cut expectations are still in place, and a weakening dollar is good for crypto assets; Bitcoin ETF fund inflows remain steady, institutions are gradually increasing their positions, and with the halving approaching, there is long-term optimism.

🚨 BTC: The Ascending Triangle Trap.
Action Plan
A classic squeeze with higher lows has formed on the 1-hour timeframe. By all accounts, this is an Ascending Triangle with an upward breakout. But the market is playing by different rules now.
Why I'm expecting a breakout DOWN:
Resistance Wall: In the $71,000-$73,000 range, there are solid limit sell orders – over 2,000 BTC. Breaking through such density without strong volume is impossible.
False Breakout (Short Squeeze): Overnight, we already saw an attempt to breakout upward, which ended with an immediate reversal. This is a classic example of

$BTC ‌Market Is Shaking Weak Hands, Structure Is Still in Control
Price is moving, and emotions are loud, but the chart is clear if you take a moment to look closely. Bitcoin didn’t just drop randomly. It followed a pattern, swept liquidity, and is now reacting just as it should. Most people see red candles. I’m focused on where the price must hold or fail.
Current Market Structure (1H View)
Major Supply: 78k–80k
→ This is where distribution started. Smart money sold strength here.
Supply Zone: 74k–75k
→ There have been multiple rejections. Every push into this zone faced sellers.

#CFTCOKsBankStablecoins A Quiet but Important Win for Regulated Crypto
On February 6, 2026, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) reissued Staff Letter 25-40, originally released in December 2025, with a small but meaningful clarification. While the update may look minor on the surface, it carries important implications for the future of regulated stablecoins and institutional crypto markets.
The original letter gave a “no-action” position to Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs). This meant the CFTC would not take enforcement action if FCMs accepted certain payment stablecoins as

Today’s fourth trade, short at 71,000, perfectly closed at 69,800, profit of 6,400 in oil, steady rhythm and precise timing, fulfilling the prediction ✨
✅ Need to stick to the rhythm: trust the long-term logic and make regular investments, be cautious if you’re not optimistic, don’t be swayed by market sentiment
✅ Keep a backup plan: never go all-in with cash, avoid using leverage beyond your capacity, only then do you have a chance to survive
The essence of the market is a game of human nature. Those who can stay calm during a crash will eventually reap the benefits of the rebound.

$ETH STTW# The meaning: We experience setbacks because the heavens do not allow us to stop striving. Among the easiest things in the world, procrastination is the least effort. Dreams that might be laughed at are the ones worth pursuing, and even if we fall, we do so with dignity. Desire fuels passionate pursuit, perseverance smooths out mountains. A person is not afraid of future regrets for what they have done, but fears regret for what they haven't done. The meaning of struggle is not just to make money, but also to soothe the dissatisfaction in our hearts and realize our purpose in coming
