We'll look at some of the live charts, do some live chart action. Jackson Satisfaction, Bo Jackson for the Brosis Today checking out the one hour chart. We do have a red target and it's finally starting to look bullish again. We're making a move and it's to the upside. Hallelujah. We do have A target sitting in 96. No bear target in sight. Exactly how I like to see it. And we're clearly, you know, sitting above the moving averages. Water above, water below, you know, the less the, the rest of the show. But let's check out a four hour to look any better. Yeah, it's looking bullish as well. We do have an ascension rising wedge formation before what you can see on the chart and then you can see it's been sideways but we're doing a breakout right now. 90 seems to be the line in the sand. Every time we break 90 we've been insta correcting right back but this time it's been holding. We hit barely, barely hit 91 here today and right now it's 89.9 at the time of the live and we do have three bear scenarios still ranging from 80 to 83. And as you know, 80 is the local bottom we hit a few weeks back. How, how many of you think the bottom is in? Let me know. Uh, checking out the daily. About time. Two green uh candles on the daily in a row which we ain't seen in a while cuz it's been been like anytime we have a gain we insta correct. But I'm optimistic. Let's see what happens this weekend. We're right on the cusp of the moving averages on the daily chart. No bull target in sight. We do have a bear scenario. I'm not even going to entertain because I'm not bearish. But checking out the weekly rising wedgie, the only wedgie officially approved by the Nipinator, you're going to notice. A few weeks back we had four consecutive red candle closes which took us from the high of the 126 all the way down to the bottom of 80. And we are you know, looking to regain some of those losses in real time right where we're at checking out. And we will get the weekly close in two days. The first weekly close of the new year. Checking out the monthly. We're in the green for the new year though we're only two days deep. You're going to notice we had a horrendous, you know, October, November, December and here we are today, standing strong, looking to reclaim 90.100k all time highs around the corner. Send it bitcoin bulls charge at 90 as a trader's eye, the CME gap for the bitty price dip that's right here looking at a one hour chart and I already kind of gave you the live perspective. So let's get right to the analysis analyst says. Obviously it is almost weekend, so we might be getting a few gaps and a bit of a messy chart to start off the new year. And that's what I was bringing to your attention earlier. And then this analyst points out we currently have some gaps sitting between. It looks like 88 if I'm reading that right, the $88,000 range. Now obviously we're sitting above that. Amid new January highs, the King Fisher warm prices may dip to take out the late Bitcoin long positions of 88. Data from Coin Glass showed liquidity on either side of the price building into the Wall street open cross crypto liquidations for the 24 hours total more than 200 million as the markets edged higher. Here's the Bitcoin liquidation heat map brought to you by Bance via Coin Glass and after dipping the end of the year, gold rebounded, pushing towards a rematch with the all time highs. On the day, gold was being held in check at 4400 after becoming the winning major asset of 2025. Gold up 64% was the best performing asset. In 2025. Bitcoin saw Nega 6% which was the worst we've seen the year preceding the having something we haven't seen before in any calendar year, the inverse of 2013, as pointed out by Charlie Bello, market strategist over at Creative Planning now this week Bitcoin's relationship with gold and silver is in four key charts to watch next. Analysts argue Bitcoin's relative underperformance was not a sign of a new bare market, but the calm before the storm based on historical patterns. And as you know, we did get a bearish annual close. We were anticipating fireworks. It leads me to believe extended cycle in play. I think we continue to break out hit new all time highs in 2026, potentially even 2027 leading into the next having in 2028.

Okay, next story of the day, Bitcoin ETF momentum bills in South Korea as the regulation lags behind. We got a lagger. South Korea securities and Derivatives Exchange operator the Korea Exchange KRX plans and shout out to KRS1 plans to increase its investment products, including the crypto ETFs as well as derivatives, as part of the broader push to modernize the capital markets. Speaking at the first trading day of the ceremony of the New Year, the KRX chairman Jong An Bo signal the exchange was operationally prepared to Support the crypto ETFs even as the regulators continue to deliberate whether such products could be approved under the existing securities regulations. Giong framed the move as part of the South Korea effort to move beyond the Korea discount, a phenomenon where domestic stocks trade lower at valuations than the global peers. The dynamic is different than in crypto, where bitcoin often trades at a premium on the local exchanges compared with the overseas platforms. And he also pointed to other initiatives such as the gradual shift towards the 24 hour trading and digital finance readiness. And while the New Year speech did not announce new regulatory approval, it highlighted the growing coordination between the market operators and the policymakers as the country evaluates whether crypto can be integrated into its traditional financial system. KRX's comments came as the South Korean regulators continue to review the legal status of crypto based investment products. Under the current rules, crypto assets are not classified as eligible underlying assets for securities, effectively blocking crypto based ETFs despite increasing investor demand. The Financial Services Commission previously said it was studying potential reforms through a dedicated crypto committee. I hope that doesn't include Gary Gensler including whether digital assets could be recognized within the framework of the Capital Markets Act. And while the regulators weigh those decisions, the KRX messaging suggests the market infrastructure may no longer be a limiting factor. By publicly signaling readiness to list the trade the crypto link products, the exchange is positioning itself to move quickly once regulatory barriers are cleared. So yeah, crypto ETFs are building momentum, but the approvals remain stalled. Support for the crypto ETFs have been building across the country's financial and political establishment, at least for the past year. And in February, the head of the Korea Financial Investment association said the industry will push to list bitcoin and ether ETFs domestically to meet the growing demand from investors seeking regulated exposure to crypto. It's about time. I mean, the US got them approved back in January of 2024, right now. The issue later entered the mainstream politics ahead of the June presidential election. In May, Lee J. Mung, who was Democratic Party presidential front runner, pledged to approve the spot crypto ETFs if elected and Lee went on to win the elections. Let's see if he sticks to what he was initially trying to do or if he change his mind. You know, there's no telling what the constipated Janet yelling Bance Next story Yo Poly market traders see just 21% chance of Bitcoin hitting 150,000 this year prediction market traders on polymarket are tipping 21% odds that Bitcoin hitting 150 this year despite many analysts see in 2026 as belated bull year. That's right, according to the current market what the price of Biddy will be by 2027. Poly Market shows 45 odds of Bitcoin reaching 120, a price point below the all time high. The odds fall further at 130G's with just 35 probability while140,000 has a 28 chance and150,000 has a 21 chance. The safest bet traders are currently willing to place on overall is a mere 100,000 at 80%. I mean I strongly disagree with this target, but then again I'm not your average individual in which you know, these are average minds probably betting on these things now. While it is not entirely clear what has made users so cautious, the ending of the four year cycle may have something to do with it. After Bitcoin closed 2025 in the red, the four year cycle was a market pattern surrounding the having and we did a deep dive into the four year cycle being dead in yesterday's podcast. So if you missed it, be sure to check it out. Pod Episode 22 and with this all coming to an end, it opens the doors for new trading patterns to emerge. Despite the bearish odds, analysts have been tipping a bullish year for bitcoin. President Trump set to announce the new US Federal Reserve chair Nip Anator in the coming weeks nips here to stay, which may be a boon for the crypto as many expect interest rates to be slashed now. Such anticipation has in part already fueled the surge of the price of the precious metals and such as gold and silver would both hit new all time highs in the fourth quarter of 2025, despite the digital commodities of crypto remaining flat. Meanwhile, major crypto bills such as the Genius act and the Clarity Act Counter react are expected to bring more regulatory clarity, no thanks to Gary G while which may open the door for more institutional adoption. Many analysts from firms such as Standard Chartered Bank Strategy and Bernstein are predicting the bitcoin price at 150 GS in 2026. Well, others are more optimistic such as fun strats Tom Lee suggesting 200 to 250,000 and stay tuned because here shortly we'll be Discussing Bitcoin over 200,000 here next month in the greatest month of the year, February and yesterday I did entertain price predictions with chat gbt. I was doing it vocally, you know, I was bored last night and I, I asked, I said give me your 2026, 2027, 2028 bear, target, base case and bull scenario. It broke it all down and ultimately I said what do you think is most likely between the bear, the base and the bull? And ultimately said the base case and the base case was still very bullish. At least 200000 before the end of this year. Okay, next story, we got two more to go. Stay tuned here. Next headline Crypto Tax Data to be collected in 48 countries ahead of the CARF 2027. Here's what it means Crypto investors across 48 countries will start to have their crypto wallet transaction data recorded for tax purposes this year as the long awaited Crypto Asset Reporting Framework rolls out globally. This international tax transparency framework developed by the OECD officially goes into effect in 2027, so that would be next year. However, as of January 1st, crypto service providers are participating in jurisdictions including centralized and certain decentralized exchanges, crypto ATMs, brokers, dealers already required to begin collecting the necessary transaction data. It's a signal that countries are moving towards more transparency to fight tax evasion and money laundering. The OECD said in an update in November that a growing number of the jurisdictions that have committed to be begin exchanging info under this framework are already have the required legislation in place to mandate crypto service providers to collect this CARF related data or are in the final stages of enforcing those laws. And here's some of the jurisdictions as far as the countries as of by 2027 these will be in effect. Austria, Belgium, I'm sure you got to include the United States in there. Bulgaria, Cayman Islands, Chile, Colombia. The list goes on and on. One of the main objectives of the CARF is to help tax authorities ensure the taxpayers meet their tax obligations. So ultimately, today's episode of Bitcoin News Alerts is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Do you ever think about switching insurance companies to see if you can save some cash? Progressive makes it easy to see if you can save when you bundle your home and auto policies. Try it@progressive.com Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates. Potential savings will vary not available in all states. They want their fucking taxes on cryptocurrencies. G20 finance ministers have been pushing for more action on this since 2021 and by 2022 the OECD finalized the core rules for the CARF. And while 48 countries are part of the first batch and are bet yet to begin recording transactions this year for data exchanges. So whatever exchange you're using, expect them to record all that data and report them to whatever the tax authorities are so that you'll eventually get hit with some tax bills here. The second group includes Austria, this would be the following year, Canada, Mexico, Switzerland and they have until 1-1-2027 before they start collecting the required data. Also we have Hong Kong which is part of the second batch, seeking to input on both the implementation of the CARF and changes attacks reporting standards according to their news release on Tuesday. The announcement tied to the move to the local administration efforts to fight the cross border to tax evasion. And while the CARF data is limited to tax purposes, crypto tax software firm Tax Bit said in November that the info could eventually provide unprecedented access into crypto ownership and identity details, potentially enabling the authorities to identify anonymous crypto holders, serve as an intelligence source and help link identities to criminal activity. And you already know if it was up to the government you'd all be deemed terrorists for practicing self custody. And that's just the reality folks, so be careful out there. Never trust any of these lizard folks or three letter organizations regardless what country you're from. Headline reads Turk Minstian rings whatever the that even means. I don't know, I'm assuming somewhere out of Turkey, but maybe it's just a part of the world I'm not familiar with. Near Kagestan apparently in the new year crypto exchanges miners here's the latest. Crypto mining and trading is now legal in Turkmenistan. I'm probably butchering this country by the way, but let me know if you've ever heard of it. I've never seen this country before until right now, but apparently their president signed the new law in late November which just took effect yesterday. Implementation of the new law could see Central Asian countries economy expand beyond the heavy reliance of the natural gas exports by tapping surplus energy for crypto mining following the lead of neighboring country Kagistan. So yeah, they're right next to Kazan. Turka Menestien is considered one of the more closed off countries of the world but has taken several steps to open up its economy in the recent years including to the tourism and energy sectors that now expands into the entire crypto industry with the non Turkomastian residents permitted to mine the crypto with a country once registered according to the law, that's illegal. Crypto mining pools are also permitted. Turkmenstian based crypto exchanges will need to secure the licenses, set up the know your client anti money laundering checks and satisfy certain cold storage requirements. Here's what the law states. The new law also made it clear that crypto still isn't recognized as legal tender currency or as a security. They also say in Kazakhstan become a bitcoin mining heavyweight of 2021 after the China ban pushing the significance crypto miners to relocate Pakistan, one of the Turk mistan's closest allies made some of the most significant strides of crypto regulations in 2025. Pakistan's biggest accomplishments include establishing the Pakistan Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority, permitting the crypto exchanges such as Banan and HTX to operate in the country, build in a bitty reserve and appointing former Binance CEO Czech Republic as a strategic advisor. And according to cz, he says Pakistan may be one of the most bullish bitcoin countries and holders over the next five years. Let me know if you agree, disagree and if you don't know cz, he's the richest man in crypto and the richest man to ever serve any prison time. Look it up now. The speed of the adoption may be slower in Turkomastian given the government's tight controls of the Internet access, strict oversight of the financial activities and the limited foreign investment it receives. And if you don't know, you'll never know. So do some damn homework already. What am I gonna do with you? You know funny, tracking the crypto is easy. Try tracking their fiat. Best of luck. Now for our features. Away the day the biddy price will surge to 276000 per coin next month. The greatest month of the year hands down, February. I'm calling 2-11-1111 omen here. But this is according to the world's smartest man. Or at least I should say the man with the highest iq. The record holder on paper, the guy's name is Young Hoon Kim. He claims to hold the world's highest IQ and has predicted Bitcoin reach $276,000 by February of 20276 several of his past bitcoin price forecasts have failed to materialize. We got to keep it 1h. He is not from the future. He is not Baron Trump now. Analysts say Bitcoin is nearing a potential breakout zone. The Self proclaimed world smartest man has once again made a bold prediction about the future price of the bitcoin, saying the world's largest crypto could hit 270 in just a month. Now here's my two satoshis. I believe he made this crazy prediction to get attention because he just launched his own coin like yesterday, has the name Lamb and he's shilling it to the XRP community and he claims he's all in on xrp. He started shilling, you know, to the bitcoin community with these crazy predictions. But I just share all that to say I do not trust him whatsoever. There's some cool things about him. You know, he believes in Jesus and you know, I'm all for that. He started out when he came out with crypto speaking very prolific about bitcoin and now he's only focused on XRP and he just launched the coin to the XRP community. So is he a shiller? 100%. But nonetheless, I digress. Back to the prediction. Kim claims to hold the IQ of 276, has made a new claim at a bitcoin price. Surgeon to 276, February of 2026. Now it makes sense. Sense because that's his IQ number. So he's like, yeah, let me just add a couple of hundred thousand to the iq. What? Blah blah, blah. And here we go, we'll get some attention. JV and Nipinator will do a story on us. The social media predictor reportedly highlighted increase and weakening fiat currencies as reasons for his bullish outlook. Bitcoin has historically shown large price swings and remains increasingly sensitive to peter shifts in the global macroeconomic factors. Kim's latest forecast follows a series of previous bitcoin predictions that have failed to materialize. So do keep that in mind. He previously said we'd hit 220,000 in 45 days, which did not materialize. He said I expect bitcoin going to 220 in the 45 days, adding that he could use all future bitcoin profits to fund the church constructions worldwide. Like I said, he says good things, but you got to look at his actions. And he already launched the coin and is apologizing for things not going as planned. It's like any other influencer who launches their own coin. Never goes well and people get scammed. Not accusing him of scamming anyone purposely, but I did watch a few of his videos and I do not trust the guy whatsoever. I just got to throw that out there. On top of this prediction, he also believed Bitcoin may replace the US dollar this year in 2026. This is typical of grifters. They they'll share extremely bullish predictions to grab everyone's attention in the community. And then they have an ulterior motive.

You know, sell you their shitcoin in return for like bitcoin or whatever cryptos you may have. The high IQ holder has continued to tell his followers the bitcoin's current low price was just a temporary discount caused by market manipulation. I think we'd all agree on that. Now here's what's interesting. Kim also issued optimistic projections for xrp. He's clearly shilling the XRP community right now. He said XRP would approach a thousand dollars. Come on now. Over the next decade under what he described as specific macro conditions including a large scale peter shift of capital into digital assets. Quoting them here under the assumption of a large scale migration of capital into crypto alongside significant decline of the dollar value and elevated inflation. The scenario cannot be ruled out on numerical basis and in a separate post he suggests XRP may be nearing a major cycle peak, could benefit from seasonal price movement predicting a possible rally around Christmas at a potential all time high January of 2026. Now clearly it's already January of 2026 and on December 30th he put out a bullish urgent post stating watch XRP the next 48 hours. Clearly that didn't materialize because it's struggling to hit $2 right now, but there you go. Yo. I just wanted to share his perspective. I think it's kind of a pie in the sky target. Do I really think we'll hit 276 next month? I wish, but I'm highly doubtful. Doesn't mean we can't hit new all time highs or you know, re enter price discovery, anything. I'm open all the possibilities. I just don't think it's the most probable. And I think he specifically made that prediction because he's smart Enough to know how to shill a community. Especially with the launch of his lamb token as he continues to preach the word of Jesus. And there you go. Yeah. Let me know if you agree. Disagree. 276 Yay. Nay. Holl @ your boy. And welcome everyone to the Q A segment of the live stream. It was all a dream. Now I live stream to get to.
