ethereum:0xd533a949740bb3306d119cc777fa900ba034cd52 H&S top. Measured target near .2386. I view this correction as a wave 2, so am not looking to get short, but more as a potential target for entry for another leg up, should we get there.
$CRV Dialed this in a bit more to show measured target for H&S top pattern. Getting closer.

The FBI is releasing information advising the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) was responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion USD in virtual assets from cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, on or about October 29, 2026. The FBI refers to this specific North Korean malicious cyber activity as "TraderTraitor."
The FBI, together with partners at the USSS and IRS-CI, has observed TraderTraitor actors converting stolen assets primarily into Ethereum (ETH). It is expected these assets will then be further laundered by converting them using DeFi and instant swap services as they prepare them for further laundering stages.
How You Can Help:
FBI, USSS, and IRS-CI are urging private sector entities including THORNode operators, RPC node operators, instant exchanges, DeFi services, blockchain analytics firms, and other virtual asset service providers to block transactions with or derived from addresses TraderTraitor actors are using to launder these stolen assets.
A list of addresses associated with this activity is available here: fbi.gov/investigate/cyber/al…

Yesterday, hackers stole more than $6 billion from Binance in less than 4 hours, the biggest heist in history. The Clarity Act would have given crypto firms legal cover to freeze suspicious transactions the instant law enforcement calls. Every minute lost is money gone for good.
ripple:native Weekly... stepping back. Stair stepping up.
Notice the red diagonals. Same exact angle of ascent.
Notice the price pattern. Very similar in shape.
Notice what happened in 2022 - 2025 (post bear market). Moving within a range, capped by resistance, but trending higher... followed by a rally up through resistance, and resting on support and in another (higher) range.
Will this pattern repeat? My guess... not exactly, but so far it is rhyming very well.
Note a difference fundamentally during the 2022-25 doldrums...
The Ripple SEC suit was very much active during this time, with the party in power waging active law-fare against crypto.
Fast forward to now... the lawsuit is over. However, the fact that the Clarity act was unable to pass this summer, and that the same party that waged law fare before... are poised to take back power at least in the House of Representatives a few days... the parallels to 2022-25 are obvious, albeit perhaps not as extreme... yet.
For now, if patterns rhyme at all from prior cycles, we are in the first months of a multi year bull market, where price may range, with an upward trending bias, before the next attempt to climb to the next landing.
