BTC has made a new low twice this year after retesting a broken uptrend. Now we’re seeing a pretty similar setup, with $65K as the key level to watch.
VanEck analysts say 8 out of 12 BTC capitulation indicators have already triggered, suggesting the crypto winter could end this fall but there may still be room for one more move lower.
Keep an eye on $65K.

On the chart, we see a potential head and shoulders pattern and its target.

Trump is set to meet with SEC Chair Paul Atkins, CFTC Chair Mike Selig, and representatives from Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini, Polymarket, Kalshi, Nasdaq, NYSE, CME Group, and DTCC.
A lot is on the line — this meeting could shape the new rules for the entire crypto industry.

Trump Media recently launched Truth API, a paid service that gives ultra-fast access to posts from 10 of the most influential accounts on Truth Social basically a Bloomberg Terminal for Truth Social.
The subscription costs around $1.2 million a year. In return, traders and hedge funds can get posts milliseconds before everyone else.
Today, The Intercept and the Freedom of the Press Foundation, backed by CREW, sued Donald Trump over the sale of early access to Truth Social posts.
They’re calling it an “extortion scheme” and arguing that a president shouldn’t be allowed to sell early access to his official statements. The lawsuit claims this violates the First and Fifth Amendments.
The First Amendment protects freedom of speech and the press. The argument is that selling early access to presidential statements gives paying customers an unfair advantage over journalists and the public.
The Fifth Amendment covers due process and equal protection. The plaintiffs argue that charging huge amounts of money for faster access to government information is illegal and discriminatory.

As of August 2026, more than 20.07 million BTC has already been mined about 95.6% of Bitcoin’s maximum supply of 21 million.
CZ estimates that 10–20% of all existing Bitcoin may already be permanently lost or inaccessible, and that number will likely keep growing over time.
With the supply strictly capped, he calls Bitcoin a “deflationary asset.”

BITCOIN HAS 53 DAYS LEFT
2015 ➜ 2017 — bull market: 1,064 days
2017 ➜ 2018 — bear market: 364 days
2018 ➜ 2021 — bull market: 1,064 days
2021 ➜ 2022 — bear market: 364 days
2022 ➜ 2025 — bull market: 1,064 days
If the same pattern plays out again:
2025 ➜ 2026 — bear market: 364 days
That would put the cycle bottom around October 5, 2026.

Donald Trump is expected to meet with crypto executives and prediction market leaders at the White House on Wednesday.

CFTC Chair Michael Selig is also expected to attend, alongside representatives from Coinbase, Ripple, Chainlink, a16z, Paradigm, Kalshi and The Digital Chamber. SEC Chair Paul Atkins is expected to join as well.

The meeting comes just before the first session of the CFTC’s new Innovation Advisory Committee, which will focus on crypto regulation, AI and prediction markets.

The committee includes 35 industry figures, including Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan, Kalshi co-founder Tarek Mansour and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, as well as representatives from Cboe, CME, DTCC and Nasdaq.

This is happening while the CLARITY Act remains stuck in the Senate. The next procedural step is expected on September 15, after senators return from recess. Moving the bill forward will require 60 votes.

Prediction markets will also be a major part of the discussion. Selig has argued that event contracts should fall exclusively under CFTC jurisdiction, while several states continue to push back against Kalshi and Polymarket over sports-related markets.

Trump has previously backed the idea that prediction markets should be regulated at the federal level by the CFTC.

Thank you to those who made fun of this setup earlier. So sorry if your longs were liquidated.

This bear pennant had been hanging over XRP for weeks, and it now looks like the breakdown phase is starting.

XRP is slipping below the pattern’s lower trendline around the $1.00–$1.05 area, while trading below every major EMA on the 3-day chart.

RSI is also sitting near 33, so momentum isn’t exactly giving bulls much to work with.

If XRP confirms the breakdown with a clean 3-day close below $1, the measured move puts the next ugly area around $0.70–$0.75.

Could still be a fakeout, obviously.

But if you’re long XRP here, this is probably not the chart you want to open before going to bed.
