BITCOIN $74,046 | GOLD $4,982
1. BTC retreats from $75K, holds prior resistance
-- Pulled back ~$1,150 from war-era high; $74K former ceiling now testing as support.
-- Each war drawdown smaller per CoinDesk; structural bid from $934M weekly ETF inflows and Strategy's $1.57B buy anchoring floor.
2. FOMC decision begins today, oil complicates pivot
-- Fed meeting opens with WTI at $96.18 and $137B Treasury settlements draining liquidity simultaneously.
-- Dovish dot-plot shift sends BTC toward $78K; hawkish hold at 4.24% yields risks retest of $70K support.
3. House privacy hearing convenes this afternoon
-- HFSC opens 21st-century financial privacy overhaul; Treasury's mixer legitimacy report sets floor for testimony.
-- Defines code-as-speech doctrine alongside DOJ Tornado Cash retrial; pivotal for sovereign transaction rights at federal level.
4. Ceasefire odds frozen at 13%, war is baseline
-- Iran rejects diplomacy; ground entry steady at 25%, regime fall 27% by June, Hormuz locked at 100%.
-- Eight-nation kinetic conflict now structural backdrop; SPR 120-day drawdown clock is the only market-recognized timeline.
5. Farage invests in bitcoin acquisition vehicle
-- Reform UK leader backs Stack BTC, a London firm acquiring companies and allocating surplus capital to bitcoin.
-- Political mainstreaming of bitcoin treasury strategy spreading beyond US; follows Strategy model into European politics.
