200,000 customers had their data exposed — and the broker is Israel's largest. Bits of Gold confirmed a breach hitting 200,000 clients. At a KYC-verified crypto broker, that means names, IDs, and full financial history are in the wild. If you hold an account there: treat every email as hostile and stay sharp for phishing attempts. 🎣 ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 17 Aug 2026 · 17:59 UTC

🚨 Breaking $100 million stolen from a device people trusted as cold storage. A multi-year firmware bug in Coldcard's signing logic sat undetected long enough for attackers to drain nine figures — at scale, per CoinDesk. If you hold anything on a Coldcard: check the vendor's update channel and verify your firmware version before your next transaction. 🚨 ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter

Bitcoin futures are packed with long positions — and the exit is very small. Open interest in BTC futures has swelled while liquidity on the other side hasn't kept pace. If sentiment shifts, forced liquidations hit a thin order book fast — and the pain compounds quickly. Watch for a sudden volatility spike. That's when the crowded trade unwinds. ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 17 Aug 2026 · 11:58 UTC

🌡 Market Pulse Gold just hit $4,452 — and that's the whole story right now. While BTC barely holds $63,463 and crypto Fear & Greed sits at a fearful 31, gold is up 1% and climbing. Capital is rotating toward hard assets with no counterparty risk — away from crypto, not toward it. Why? The Fed overhang. Rate futures are flat, bonds are selling off (TLT -0.87%), and nobody is adding risk until direction is clear. BTC and ETH funding rates are positive but microscopic (+0.009% / +0.008%) — leverage isn't building. This is spot indifference, not a shakeout. ⚠️ Watch the 10-year yield. If TLT keeps sliding, gold extends and crypto stalls. ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 17 Aug 2026 · 05:57 UTC

🚨 Breaking Flat futures, zero conviction — the Fed has the wheel. U.S. stock-index futures barely moved this weekend. No catalyst, no direction — traders are parked, waiting on any Fed signal about the next rate move. No Fed signal = no clean trade setup. Watch rate-sensitive assets closely — crypto included. When the Fed finally speaks, repricing is fast. 👀 ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter

Oil is creeping up — and it historically drags everything else with it. Rising crude front-runs broader inflation pressure, lifting TIPS breakevens, gold, and energy ETFs in sequence. If oil holds this move through year-end, the classic inflation-hedge basket — TIPS, commodities, energy equities — could see renewed inflows before 2026 closes. The signal to watch: TIPS breakevens widening. That's the market pricing the trade in, not speculating about it. 📈 How's your real-yield exposure positioned? ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 16 Aug 2026 · 23:57 UTC

A fake DefiLlama app was draining wallets — and it sat on the App Store long enough to matter. The real DefiLlama hasn't launched a mobile app yet. When the founder spotted phishing apps impersonating the brand, he documented one actively draining a small crypto wallet and sent proof to Apple. It was removed within days — but only after that evidence was submitted. Rule of thumb: if you see a DefiLlama app live right now, it's not the real one. The official launch hasn't shipped. ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 16 Aug 2026 · 17:56 UTC

🚨 Breaking ~40,000 SafePal customers just had their order data exposed in a confirmed breach. SafePal confirmed that order information for nearly 40,000 users was compromised — no private keys or seed phrases affected, but shipping details and purchase records are out. If you ordered a SafePal device, your order info is likely in the wild. Watch for phishing attempts that reference your purchase. 🚨 ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter

📊 Bitcoin (BTC/USDT) Analysis — Daily timeframe — 16 August 2026 Bearish. Watch $62,961 — that's the line between a grind and a drop. 📊 Technical: 4H, 1D, 1W all SELL — full MTF alignment, no mixed signals. MAs pointing down hard, RSI at 43 with room to fall. Price closed at $63,069, down 2.5% on the day. Volume light at $308M, no panic yet but no buyers stepping up either. 🌐 Fundamental: No macro catalyst in play right now. BTC just drifting under EMA50 at $64,360. 🧠 Sentiment: Fear & Greed at 29 — Fear territory. Funding near flat (4e-6), no heavy short squeeze fuel here. 🎯 Levels: Support $62,961 → $61,031. Resistance $64,582 → $65,658. Lose $62,961 and $61K is next. Reclaim $64,582 with volume to flip the script — until then, bias stays bearish. Not financial advice. Markets are risky — do your own research. ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 16 Aug 2026 · 11:55 UTC

🌡 Market Pulse Gold up +1.24% to $4,437 while BTC barely moved — that's not a crypto story, it's a macro one. Long bonds (TLT) down -0.87%: markets are pricing rates higher for longer. In that environment gold takes the safe-haven bid and risk assets stall. Fear & Greed at 34 — nobody's rushing to buy the dip. The one contrarian signal worth watching: a major smart-money firm quietly added to its BTC ETF position while retail sits out. 📌 Key level: does BTC hold $63K if TLT keeps sliding? ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 16 Aug 2026 · 05:55 UTC

🚨 Breaking Hormuz stays shut — and Tehran is not blinking. Iran has told the Trump administration to "accept the reality of defeat" as its condition for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of global oil supply moves. No timeline, no back-channel signal — just a closed door. Every day the strait stays blocked, energy markets price in more risk. Watch crude spreads and any shipping-sector moves closely. ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter

White House + CFTC in one room, talking crypto. Trump and CFTC Chair Selig meet with crypto and prediction market executives at 2:30 p.m. ET Wednesday — a warm-up before the CFTC's first-ever Innovation Advisory Committee convenes the following day. Two consecutive days of regulator-industry dialogue at this level is rare. Watch for signals on CFTC jurisdiction over spot crypto and prediction market rules. ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 15 Aug 2026 · 23:55 UTC

$11.2 billion in 2026 VC funding is quietly redrawing who crypto gets built for. The overwhelming share is flowing to compliant, KYC-gated, institutionally palatable projects. Permissionless protocols — the ones anyone could use without an ID — are getting crowded out by ventures regulators can shake hands with. Want to know where next cycle's rails get built? Watch the compliance layer. The money is already there. 👇 ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 15 Aug 2026 · 17:54 UTC

🚨 Breaking Nvidia is sitting in a buy zone — and retail earnings are the next stress test. Sandisk surged in extended trade. Nvidia held its actionable range after a strong run. Now Walmart and Target step up — their prints will decide whether the consumer spending story still holds at current index levels. A miss from either could pull the market's legs out. Watch closely. 📈 ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter

678,000 names. One tax leak. Then the wrenches come out. France's tax authority breach exposed personal crypto-holder data on 678,000 people — names, addresses, holdings. Physical attacks on crypto holders are now on pace to make 2026 the worst year on record for violent crypto crime in France. If your data is already in a database, your opsec needs to match your portfolio size. 🔒 ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 15 Aug 2026 · 11:54 UTC

🌡 Market Pulse Gold at $4,437 (+1.73%) while BTC drifts at $63K and Fear & Greed sits at 34. That gap says everything. Macro risk-off is clearly real — but crypto isn't getting the safe-haven bid. TLT is selling off, rate pressure isn't gone, and BTC is still trading like a risk asset, not a hedge. Under the surface though, structure is building: Israel's largest bank just opened BTC/ETH/SOL to retail, and Cboe filed for the first 3x BTC and ETH ETFs in the US. Quiet demand, nervous market. The question now: does gold's run eventually pull institutional flow into BTC — or does the Fear reading deepen first? 👇 ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 15 Aug 2026 · 05:53 UTC

$116 million drained from a single Bitcoin wallet — not an exchange, a self-custody exploit. While that hit the tape: ETF inflows quietly rebounded, Strategy signaled another BTC buy, and miners pivoted hard toward AI infrastructure chasing billions in new revenue. But the self-custody story is the one that stings — because there's no helpdesk ticket to open. Key management is the trade you can't undo. Has your setup ever been stress-tested? ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 14 Aug 2026 · 23:52 UTC

🚨 Breaking 3× leveraged BTC and ETH ETFs — Cboe just filed with the SEC. LeverageShares already runs these products in Europe. Now the same structure is sitting at the SEC's door, waiting for a green light. If approved, US traders get amplified spot exposure — no futures, no margin accounts to babysit. First of their kind in the US. Worth watching. 👀 ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter

Leveraged longs on Binance are getting squeezed — hard. Bitcoin futures open interest dropped in lockstep with BTC price — what CryptoQuant analysts call a classic long cleanout: forced liquidations cascading as price slides under crowded leveraged positions. August lows are back in view. The key signal to watch: if OI rebuilds without a price bounce, the next leg down has fresh fuel loaded. ‎@SorooshX | SorooshX | SSE | Youtube | Twitter 🕒 14 Aug 2026 · 17:52 UTC
