Trump rate talk, Venezuela strikes, Bitcoin still near 90K
Crypto crash tracks stocks, chart warning, and fading leverage
Kiyosaki attacks banks, backs Bitcoin and hard assets
4.5 billion dollar BTC and ETH options expiry targets 90K
Trump flagged big rate cuts and new strikes in Latin America, Bitcoin held around 90,000.
[Rate hint]: Trump said US rates might drop to 1 percent or lower from 3.50 to 3.75 next year, a long term tailwind for risk assets like Bitcoin.
[Geopolitics]: He vowed land strikes on drug routes in Latin America, including Venezuela, a source of extra headline risk for crypto traders.
“We knocked out 96 percent of drug routes by water, now we start by land,” Trump told reporters.
Does your car insurance cover what really matters?
Not all car insurance is created equal. Minimum liability coverage may keep you legal on the road, but it often won’t be enough to cover the full cost of an accident. Without proper limits, you could be left paying thousands out of pocket. The right policy ensures you and your finances are protected.

Crypto crash tracks stocks, chart warning, and fading leverage
Bitcoin fell from 94,000 to 90,000 as stocks slumped and risk appetite faded.
[Market mood]: Nasdaq 100 dropped about 500 points, S&P 500 and Dow also fell, while VIX climbed above 16, pushing traders out of risk.
[Chart risk]: Bitcoin daily chart showed a death cross and a bearish flag, both point toward pressure near the 75,000 area.
[Leverage reset]: Futures open interest dropped from about 255 billion in October to 133 billion, with 24 hour volume down 15 percent, a clear sign of weaker speculative demand.
“Low volume and shrinking open interest call for smaller position size,” traders often remind each other.
Kiyosaki attacks banks, backs Bitcoin and hard assets
Robert Kiyosaki called global banking a rigged game and told followers to hold scarce assets.
[System view]: He described global finance as “heads I win, tails you lose” for big banks.
[Asset focus]: He promoted gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, plus legal tax planning, as tools to step away from bank control.
Understand the real game of global bankers,” Kiyosaki wrote. “Own assets and use tax law to your advantage.
4.5 billion dollar BTC and ETH options expiry targets 90K
A huge options expiry cluster hits Bitcoin and Ethereum near current prices.
[Size]: About 3.7 billion dollars in Bitcoin options and 770 million dollars in Ethereum options expire around this date, a key event for crypto risk.
[Positioning]: Put to call ratios stand near 1.10 for BTC and 1.22 for ETH, which shows cautious positioning with some upside bets still on.
[Max pain]: Max pain sits near 90,000 for Bitcoin and 3,100 for Ethereum, levels traders watch as magnets for price into expiry.
“There is risk in the near term,” said Sean McNulty of FalconX. “Large structural flows need to change for a cleaner trend.”
