this video is for candle stick assholes. they are setting up a great big bull trap. I’ll show you how to trade this

• Bitcoin climbed above $90,000 for the first time in almost a week, clawing back ground after a more than a month-long selloff, as a broad rally in risk assets and easing volatility gave traders room to push higher.
• The advance put higher levels back in focus, with digital assets moving in step with equities amid growing conviction that the Federal Reserve may soon resume cutting interest rates.
• Bitcoin rose as much as 4% to $90,460 on Wednesday, reducing its drop from an all-time high of just north of $126,000 reached in early October to about 28%.

Bitcoin climbed above $90,000 for the first time in almost a week, clawing back ground after a more than a month-long selloff, as a broad rally in risk assets and easing volatility gave traders room to push higher. The advance, though modest, put higher levels back in focus, with digital assets moving in step with equities amid growing conviction that the Federal Reserve may soon resume cutting interest rates. BlackRock’s US Bitcoin ETF attracted fresh inflows, snapping a streak of redemptions. Liquidity remains thin ahead of the Thanksgiving break, but with volatility ebbing — and little evidence of fresh forced selling — bulls appear to be testing whether the worst of the drawdown has passed. “Likely the sharp nature of the move is tied to holiday market. Essentially there’s less liquidity right now, meaning it takes a lot less to move the dial,” said Adam McCarthy, a research analyst at Kaiko. Bitcoin rose much as 4% to $90,460 on Wednesday, reducing its dropped from an all-time high of just north of $126,000 reached in early October to about 28%.

Despite the retreat of as much as 36% since the record high reached in early October, implied volatility has remained contained, a shift that reflects how the institutionalization of the token is reshaping risk transmission. Early in its history, Bitcoin’s value was primarily driven by speculation from traders seeking to profit from its frequent large price swings. “This week’s high 80s Bitcoin level has served as consolidation support level — on the back of negative downward trends over the past several weeks,” said Jasper De Maere, desk strategist at Wintermute. A reversal of bearish sentiment is reflected across derivatives markets. Bitcoin perpetual futures, a key market for traders to make leveraged crypto wagers, are seeing more demand for long positions with moderate open interest, according to data from Coinglass. The positive funding rate for such contracts suggests bullish bets has been back in majority after flipping negative earlier this week. Call options at the strike of $100,000 are seeing the most open interest after downside protection around $80,000 and $85,000 had dominated the market over the last week, according to Coinbase-owned crypto exchange Deribit. “Over the past couple of weeks speculative long positioning has been significantly reduced as evidenced by the decline in perpetual open interest and funding rates, leaving crypto primed for a move higher,” said Spencer Hallarn, global head of OTC trading at crypto investment firm GSR Crypto prices tumbled in early October after Donald Trump roiled financial markets worldwide with a threat to bolster tariffs. The drop has erased more than $1 trillion in digital-asset market value and unleashed a wave of forced liquidations. Investors appear to testing the market again now. Bitcoin exchange-traded funds saw inflows of about $130 million on Tuesday, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Investors have pulled nearly $3.6 billion from the 12 US-listed Bitcoin funds in November, the heaviest monthly outflow since the products launched and the first real stress test of the ETF era.

NN: I am enjoying this

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on Thursday that he was “surprised” by the United States’ sanctions against Russia’s oil companies. Speaking at a press conference amid the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit in Kyrgyzstan, Putin pointed out that such restrictive measures are “destroying” bilateral relations between Moscow and Washington. The Russian president said that the US sanctions “came out of nowhere” following the platform that both countries established at the Alaska summit, but declared that Russia is ready for dialogue with the US “anytime,” referring to he upcoming visit by US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff. Additionally, Putin also commented on the telephone leaks, saying that they “could be fake,” but underlining that, as such, they constitute a criminal offense.

NN: Oil traders are making two big mistakes here. The fist in buying into this peace deal. The second is under estimating how serious the sanctions are un Russian oil companies.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that it makes “no sense” to sign documents with the Ukrainian government, stating that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “lost his legitimate status” when he postponed elections due to the war. He pointed out that Russia held elections in 2024 despite the conflict.

Putin said that martial law must be stopped as soon as a peace deal is signed and elections in Ukraine must be called. The peace plan proposed by the Trump administration contained a clause requesting that Ukraine hold elections within 100 days of a deal, while the European version of the plan calls for elections to be held “as soon as possible.”

NN: Even oil bears are starting to lose faith in tis latest peace fraud spin deal

Major cryptocurrencies continued to rebound on Wednesday, with Bitcoin rising above the $90,000 after plunging to its lowest level since April last Friday. Bitcoin rose by 3.19% to $90,107.701 at 1:32 pm ET, while Ethereum climbed by 2.41% to $3,029.6708 a minute later.

NN: Now you know wht we took profits  on the lows. And we  told you to  take profits. Soon we will be selling again.

European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas stated on Wednesday that the bloc must ensure Russia is never again in a position to attack.

“We see no sign that Russia wants a ceasefire.

We must move away from a situation where Russia pretends they want to negotiate until they actually do. To increase the chance of peace, we must increase pressure on Russia,” Kallas shared at a press conference following the EU foreign ministers’ video meeting on Ukraine. She also underlined that any potential peace agreement should include concessions from Moscow. Moreover, the high representative called on Kiev’s partners to boost support for Ukraine and noted that the focus should be on limiting Russian capabilities, so they “wouldn’t have the chance to invade again.”

NN: This does not sound like a peace deal to  me

A Ukrainian delegation has reached an agreement with the United States on the parameters of a peace deal with Russia, a US official confirmed to ABC News on Tuesday. “The Ukrainians have agreed to the peace deal,” (bullshit) the official told the media agency. “There are some minor details to be sorted out but they have agreed to a peace deal,” he clarified. Earlier today, it was reported that US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll met delegations from Ukraine and Russia in Abu Dhabi on Monday. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov today said Moscow has not received the official version of US President Donald Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine, but confirmed the Kremlin awaits the US to present an “interim” version of the peace plan discussed with Kiev and the European allies.

Zelensky: Talks with US side remain ongoing

“Communication with the American side continues,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed on Tuesday as he outlined ongoing coordination on Ukraine’s peace efforts. He noted that the Ukrainian team returned from Geneva yesterday with an “updated framework” and that exchanges with Washington, especially with Trump, remain active. His remarks came hours after a US official confirmed to ABC News that a Ukrainian delegation had agreed on the parameters of a peace deal with Russia, with only minor details pending. Zelensky said he also spoke with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, thanking Germany for its sustained military, financial and political support. He shared recent steps taken to advance a possible end to the war and underlined the need to keep all partners informed.

NN: This is all a little fast for me.

• Ukraine’s sovereignty will be confirmed and a comprehensive non-aggression agreement will be concluded between Russia, Ukraine, and Europe.
• Russia will not invade neighbouring countries and NATO will not expand further, with a dialogue to be held between Russia and NATO to resolve security issues.
• The plan includes security guarantees for Ukraine, limits on the size of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and a package of measures to rebuild Ukraine, including investment and economic cooperation.

In a rapidly intensifying diplomatic confrontation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has formally rejected former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed 28-point peace deal, a plan that would force Ukraine to surrender occupied territories to Russia in exchange for security guarantees. The refusal has sharpened tensions with Washington and set the stage for what Ukrainian officials warn may become the most difficult weeks of the Russia-Ukraine war.

Speaking to reporters, Trump insisted that Ukraine has little leverage left and must accept the deal or face consequences.

“At some point he’s gonna have to accept something,” Trump said.
“You remember right in the Oval Office I said, ‘You don’t have the cards.’”
“If he doesn’t like the deal, then they can keep fighting, I guess.”

Trump argues that the war should never have started and that “with the right president,” diplomacy would have prevented it entirely. U.S. officials around him have privately warned Kyiv that rejecting the plan may lead to reductions in intelligence support, military aid, and weapons supplies.

Zelensky’s Firm Rejection: “Washington Already Received Its Answer”

Zelensky has responded with unprecedented clarity, stating that Ukraine will not accept the U.S.-proposed peace agreement under any circumstances. He emphasized that Washington already knew Ukraine’s position years ago. In a powerful message to both Ukraine and international partners, Zelensky declared:

“We will not accept the peace agreement proposed by the United States.”
“Washington received its answer long ago—back on May 20, 2019—when I publicly vowed to defend Ukraine’s independence and sovereignty.”

That oath, he said, remains unchanged despite battlefield pressures and diplomatic pressure from Washington.

Europe Divides from Washington

European governments have increasingly voiced discomfort with the U.S. plan, arguing that it was drafted without proper consultation and threatens to legitimize Russia’s aggression. Diplomats across the EU privately warn that forcing Kyiv into concessions would fracture Western unity and embolden Moscow.

Moscow Welcomes the U.S. Proposal The Kremlin reacted positively, calling Trump’s proposal “a potential basis for negotiations.” But Russian officials warned that if Ukraine refuses, Russian forces will continue their offensive. President Putin remarked that the plan reflects “realistic conditions,” a signal that Moscow sees strategic advantage in the U.S.-drafted framework.

NN: Trumps joke peace deal is nothing more than forcing Ukraine to surrender to the Russian invader. Ukraine to day Poland tomorrw and soon after that Europe will  fall to the Russians

Kyiv’s biggest European allies lined up with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to reject key elements of a US-Russian plan to end the war in Ukraine as Washington threatened to halt military support to force acceptance of the deal. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, France’s Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer of the UK agreed on a call with Zelenskiy on Friday that Ukraine’s armed forces must remain capable of defending its sovereignty and that the current line of contact should be the starting point for any peace talks, according to a statement from the German government.

The US has threatened to stop intelligence-sharing and weapons supplies to Ukraine and to pull out of all processes unless Kyiv agrees to the peace plan, according to people familiar with the matter. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Reuters was first to report the threat.

Merz convened the call to formulate a response to a 28-point list of demands and proposals that Zelenskiy received from the US that would mean sweeping concessions to Vladimir Putin. The Ukrainian regions of Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk would be “recognized as de facto Russian, including by the United States,” according to the plan, a copy of which was seen by Bloomberg News. Ukraine would also be required to hold elections in 100 days, give up any hope of NATO membership and slash the size of its armed forces. “We are working on the document prepared by the American side. This must be a plan that ensures a real and dignified peace,” Zelenskiy posted on X after the call. “We are coordinating closely to make sure that the principled stances are taken into account.” While the US and Russia have largely sidelined European countries in their push to end the war, Europe’s response to their proposal is critical in shaping Ukraine’s next move. The European Union has been struggling to agree on a mechanism that would unlock about €140 billion ($160 billion) to sustain the Ukrainian war effort as the US dials back its support for Kyiv. European leaders will now meet on the sidelines of the Group of 20 conference in South Africa on Saturday to map out the next steps, according to a person familiar with matter. Finnish President Alexander Stubb, who’s earned the reputation of having the ear of Donald Trump, is also expected to join, according to a person briefed on the plans, who asked not to named because the talks are private. There are doubts among European leaders about the status and legitimacy of the plan that would force Kyiv to cede large chunks of territory taken by Russia, cap the size of its military and lift sanctions on Moscow over time, one official said. They also characterized it as tantamount to a capitulation by Ukraine with Russia getting what it wants, the official added, requesting anonymity to talk freely on the matter. The plan appears to maximise the potential for future Russian hybrid and false-flag operations that would see Moscow claim Ukraine breached the terms and then re-invade, a senior European official said. The official added that it very closely resembled Russia’s demands at previous talks and was completely unacceptable to Europe and Ukraine.

Many details of the plan are proposals that have been vehemently rejected by Ukraine and its allies in the past. NATO member states may also object, given that the plan would curtail the defense alliance’s ability to admit new applicants as it sees fit. Such a move would need the buy-in of all 32 of its members.

The plan entails Ukraine receiving a US security guarantee — albeit one that Washington would be compensated for. The US would also get 50% of profits to rebuild and invest in Ukraine, and enter an economic partnership with Russia once sanctions are lifted.

While White House officials said the plan had Trump’s backing, one person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations, said conversations remain fluid. A delegation of top US military officials, led by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, was in Kyiv this week discussing avenues for progress, and options include ramping up military support, the person said.

But the scale of the concessions to Moscow — as well as the US — is massive, and would need buy-in from other countries not involved in the latest discussions. Ukraine would not only have to promise not to join NATO, but would have to enshrine such a vow in its constitution. Russia would be brought back into the Group of Eight nations, a symbolic move that would end its international isolation and is opposed by other members of the group.

NN: That  video Russia and Epstein took must be full of little boys, little girls and fury things. Unfortunately they don’t have enough videos of the other players to get this dead deal across the finish line

Crude oil prices declined on Friday after signals that a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine could be reached, which would boost global market supply. The day before, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky received a peace plan drafted by the US administration, described by the White House as “good” for both Kiev and Moscow. Zelensky ensured that Ukraine and the US would jointly work on the peace plan provisions. Additionally, media reports signaled that the US President Donald Trump’s administration offered Ukraine a security guarantee similar to NATO’s Article 5.WTI for deliveries in January dropped by 1.33% at 2:48 am ET to $57.84 per barrel. Meanwhile, Brent for the same month’s settlements fell by 1.11% at 2:49 am ET, going for $62.28 per barrel.

NN: This peace deal is a sick joke and going no where fast
