#特朗普 Takes Over Venezuela 🇻🇪 | #V God Releases #ETH New Roadmap 🗺️ | #BTC Back Above 90,000 📈
TL;DR
Venezuela “Black Swan” lands but does not trigger systemic panic. BTC initially drops then rebounds, regaining above 90,000, and the market enters a cautious rebound phase.
ETH roadmap clear until 2026, regulatory and tax compliance continue to tighten, old Meme movements hint at short-term opportunities for altcoins.
🔥 Today’s Key Focus

👉 High event level, but market response remains restrained.
② Ethereum Roadmap
Vitalik releases 2026 outlook:
Glamsterdam upgrade: first half of 2026
Hegota upgrade: end of 2026
👉 ETH mid- to long-term narrative continues to be “predictable.”
③ Regulatory Progress

👉 Global compliance is irreversible.
④ Whale Holdings
The US government holds about $30.7 billion in crypto assets,

📊 BTC Market Brief
BTC back above $90,000
4H trendline gradually rising
Short-term rebound signals are valid but weak
👉 Qualitative:
Not a main bull wave, just a rebound window.
🧨 Altcoins & Meme Watch
Old-school Meme coins lead the start
Logic is simple:
Whales want to push prices higher, then have room to sell
👉 If BTC stabilizes,
Altcoins may see a “final emotional rebound.”
⚠️ Risk Reminder
Digital assets are highly volatile,
Reject full positions, leverage, and loans for all-in.
Market offers opportunities, but no guarantees of mercy.
