Iran to charge tanker transit tolls in Bitcoin, says Hosseini — FT

I longed some on this, was driving so sent a few min late.

Good narrative

Potential for ZEC / privacy coin narrative could come up again too

Looks like this is actually kind of bait news, not material new info by any means

tldr:
- ft reporting based on union rep, not an official
- sanctions relief in discussion so, irrelevant article

Cutting the BTC I added onto last nights long. Still in from the ceasefire news

Ceasefire back on table

*ISRAELI SENIOR OFFICIAL: THERE IS NO CEASEFIRE, NEGOTIATIONS WILL BEGIN IN THE COMING DAYS: AXIOS

I know we launched at bad time in the market, it’s just been headline after headline after headline but IMO if you’re flat or stabled given the recent strength and Iran and US signaling towards genuine ceasefire & end of war it’s not a bad idea if you want spot exposure here given the chart and strength of crypto tbh. Not as a short term trade but long term wise not a bad idea imo. Before the war stuff started I was targeting 50-60K anyways but I knew equities could drag it down further but even there, it’s been strong af with all the macro stuff happening around the world.
Like to me the weekly here says up, and I’d say like ~80K first and go from there. Either way I’m emphasizing on long term buys being not the worst spot here. So don’t ape your portfolio or 100x leverage lol.

Also regarding actual trade setups here, I’m for sure doing them but since launch of @Leverage there’s been really nothing to take besides news trades dw boys, they will be coming when market is better & when I take good trades. Will share them.

CPI comes out @ 8:30AM EST, seems like consensus is a miss on numbers, be careful if you’re in any leveraged positions.

U.S. CPI: +3.3% YEAR-OVER-YEAR (EST. +3.4%)
U.S. CORE CPI: +2.6% YEAR-OVER-YEAR (EST. +2.7%)
