Pattern alert: 3 white soldiers ✅ Double bottom ✅ Neckline break ✅ Target: $89K 📍 Mariano from The Trading Parrot says if we land so far above the bull market support band, we'll HAVE to admit we're back in a bull cycle. Full analysis here:
#BTC #Bitcoin #CandlePatterns #BullMarket #CryptoTrading

Based on the BTC/USDT 4-hour chart, price is testing the **MA(25)** support around **$75,378**, acting as a springboard within the broader bullish structure.
📊 **Entry:** $75,300 – $75,700
🛑 **SL:** $74,100 (Below recent wick lows)
🎯 **TP1:** $77,500
🎯 **TP2:** $78,300 (Local peak)
🎯 **TP3:** $80,000 (Psychological barrier)
We’re seeing a healthy retracement from the **$78,333** high. As long as the **MA(99)** at **$71,593** remains untouched, the macro trend is intact. This consolidation phase is prime for accumulation before the next impulsive leg up. Stay sharp—volatility is imminent.

#AIInfraShiftstoApplications
In the AI ecosystem as of 2026, one of the most significant structural shifts is the transition from infrastructure to applications. The phase dominated by GPU investments, data center expansion, and model training races is gradually giving way to a new era defined by productization, real-world use cases, and revenue generation. This transformation is not only reshaping technology companies but is also creating a profound impact on cryptocurrency markets.
Why the Shift from Infrastructure to Applications?
The period between 2023 and 2025 can be described as the

I am on my way to making Viktor Orbán lose, fail in diplomacy with Iran, be replaced by Erika Kirk for being unpopular, become the least popular vice president in U.S. history, and lose the nomination to Marco Rubio.

What Crypto Investors Should Actually Watch
Recent Middle East tensions have pushed risk pricing back to the top of global markets. The Strait of Hormuz is again the focal point because 20 percent of the world's oil flows through it.
Claims of a total closure are circulating, but the reality is more nuanced. There is no official UN-recognized blockade, there is a de facto risk environment created by military statements and actions.
What we know on 19 April 2026
Iran's Revolutionary Guard announced on Saturday 18 April that the strait is closed again and will remain so until the US lifts its na
