📘 Alpha Intel Drop — May 26, 2025

BTC printed a new all-time high last week… then immediately faked out. That weekly close flipped short-term momentum bearish — and now we’re watching key levels for signs of a deeper pullback.

📰 Biggest Headlines This Week

• 💥 GENIUS Act Advances: U.S. Senate moves forward on stablecoin regulation framework
• 👨‍⚖️ SEC Charges Unicoin: $100M fraud case dropped on token + execs
• 🔐 Coinbase Investigated by DOJ following cyberattack — days after joining S&P 500
• 🏦 JPMorgan + BofA Planning Joint Stablecoin to compete in digital asset space
• 🍽️ Trump Hosts Meme Coin Dinner — headlines erupt over potential conflicts of interest

🔍 What’s Driving Markets

BTC Weekly Rejection After ATH Sweep
• BTC surged to ~$110K, sweeping liquidity above ATHs
• Closed the weekly back below previous highs = weak confirmation
• No consolidation in the run-up = low structural support below
• Watching for bounce zones at $104K, $98K, $92K–94K
• Weekly close above $112K would invalidate the pullback thesis

Altcoin Outlook Still Weak
• A few names have outperformed (RWA, AI), but the majority of alts continue to lag
• No broad signs of rotation — no altseason in sight

Regulatory Signals Heating Up
• GENIUS Act shows U.S. Congress leaning into stablecoin regulation
• SEC still dropping fraud charges
• Major institutions like JPMorgan now openly exploring stablecoin tech
• Sentiment remains high, but headlines are mixed

📊 Market Moves & Reactions

BTC
• Current Price: ~$109,500
• Key Resistance: $110K–112K
• Support Levels: $104K → $98K → $92–94K
• If BTC closes below $104K this week = continuation lower
• If it reclaims and closes above $112K = all-time high breakout resumes

ETH
• Holding around $2,545
• Still tracking BTC — no breakout behavior of its own
• Watching $2,600 as resistance zone

Altcoins
• RWA and AI narratives still performing
• Memecoins, NFTs, and DeFi 2.0 under heavy pressure
• No clear signal of strength returning to the alt market yet
