Bitcoin has reached the expected Q3 resistance zone and is now pulling back into support. The broader trend remains corrective, but the structure still allows for another rally.
Leading Scenario: The advance from the July low developed as a 5-wave move, while the current decline appears to be a 3-wave correction. As long as the $59,317–$62,430 support zone holds, another wave C recovery remains possible.
Risk Scenario: A decisive break below the support zone would weaken the current recovery scenario and increase the probability that the rejection from the $66,200–$76,600 resistance area marked a more significant top.
Key Support Levels: $59,317–$62,430
Key Resistance Levels: $66,200–$76,600
Bottom Line: Bitcoin remains in a bear-market recovery, but the 5-wave advance and corrective pullback keep the door open for another move higher while support holds.

Bitcoin never broke below the CVDD in its lifetime.
$48k will be an important support to watch. Our Elliott Wave model allows for a move into the $30k region before a low forms, but CVDD will be a tough support level to watch...
Rusty Kaspa v1.1.0 is out.
Faster syncing, less storage, and exchanges/wallets building on Kaspa just got a much easier time of it.
The big one for integrators is a new API call that returns chain updates and transaction data together in one go, instead of having to juggle multiple parallel requests. If you've ever tried to integrate Kaspa and cursed at the DAG complexity, this is the fix.
Node operators get up to 3x faster sync in the early header stage on some machines, plus lower disk usage.
The stratum bridge also shipped as beta if you're running mining infrastructure.
One heads-up - DB version bumped to 6. Upgrade is automatic, but you can't roll back to an older version without wiping the DB.

Kaspa is real-time bitcoin, solving scalability is great but not the core value prop.
Real-time bitcoin means achieving in a few seconds the same security guarantees that nakamoto consensus / bitcoin achieves after an hour; decentralizing each consensus round rather than chain quality achieved through a coarse aggregate of rounds.
A clean definition anchor for real-time decentralization (RTD): The ability to sample the honest majority in real-time.
(Note that even fast leaderless VRF-based proof-of-stake cant sample honestly bc the selected nodes get to choose the content of their blocks after they've been selected; pos=select then write, pow=write then select)

RTD affects: txn confirmation, censorship resistance, secure oracle finality, MEV resistance.
Eg censorship resistance, bitcoin is the most censorship resistant chain, but if 60% of the miners are censoring you (point in reference: OFAC abiding tornado censoring eth miners), your txn will pend for 30-40 minutes. For shady business payments that's not prohibitive, but for a real economy, for an asset aspiring to be at least a king of collateral even if not an MoE, this is unacceptable, esp under economic stress.
Beyond censorship, all things finance benefit tremendously from pow density, from sampling the majority in real-time in a secure and honest manner.
I wont get into MEV resistance now, but having a "conscious" stream of oracle attestations (not price oracles) finalized in real-time qualitatively upgrades the ability to encode informed risk, collateral, liquidity management, which is the lifeblood of defi.
In context of conf times, increasing from 1 to 10bps saturates the latency optimization. But for pow density we need dozens of blocks per second, with the endgame of 100 bps: Under 10bps a 37% attacker can fake the majority signal with probability 12%. With 100bps this drops to 0.3%. Today Kaspa can't accelerate to >10bps w/o harming conf times, but DAGKNIGHT will be implemented hopefully by Q3 at least on testnet, by which we will push for 25-40bps.
The cherry on top: RTD also implies netsplit resistance, as per the partial synchrony framework.
WWIII cyberwar resistance. Hypothetically speaking ofc.

$Kas really doing the impossible 🔥
Sub-10-second full confirmations crushing $XRP, $Sui setups, and even $Sol in real payment speed.
Exponential growth is HERE – not hype, on-chain facts
Hope everyone had a great holiday break! 😁
Rested, refreshed and ready to go on creating a project at the #Kaspathon right?
We already have hackers joining teams and asking valuable questions in the Kaspa Discord!
Don't be afraid to reach out! We have 113 hackers joined and ready to team up 👊!
Also - to help with those who need a little push to get started - created by one of our organizers @IzioDev 😉

Historical context for today's Netanyahu presentation in English, explicitly directed at Trump, on Iran. In 2002, he told the U.S. Congress "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region."
