Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser believes the crypto market may be gearing up for a new all-time high, driven by a massive expansion in derivatives linked to BlackRocks Bitcoin ETF (IBIT). In a recent X post, Keiser noted that Nasdaqs filing to expand IBITs options contracts could dramatically alter market dynamics, calling the move a game-changer for institutional liquidity. According to Keiser, the 40x growth in options contract size removes the size barriers that previously limited market makers. He had earlier warned that these constraints could trigger price pullbacks, which aligns with the...

The RSI has risen out of oversold territory and is moving toward the mid-40s, often a sign that buyer...

Bitcoins recovery after its sharp mid-November breakdown is gaining credibility, with the latest price action signaling genuine bullish intent rather than a typical dead-cat bounce. After plunging to monthly lows, BTC quickly climbed back into the mid-$80,000 range and has continued pushing toward the psychologically and structurally important $90,000 level. This zone has become a key battleground for traders, acting both as resistance and as a marker of shifting market sentiment. Market data shows that the rebound is technically justified. The previous sell-off drove Bitcoin into extremely...
