Crypto analyst Colin has revealed that the Bitcoin price has flashed a death cross, which he noted was bullish for the flagship crypto. This comes amid BTC’s recent decline, which has erased all its year-to-date (YTD) gains. Bitcoin Price Flashes Death Cross, Marking Potential Bottom In an X post, Colin stated that a death cross just flashed for the Bitcoin price, with the “ironically” bullish indicator triggering at the same time that BTC tagged the lower boundary of its megaphone pattern. The analyst noted that this is a bullish setup from this point forward, as the death cross often marks bottoms. He indicated that this is likely the bottom, as BTC has ended at the lower end of the megaphone pattern channel. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Won’t Crash To $92,000, Here’s Why Colin remarked that these factors combined indicate a high likelihood of a move up for the Bitcoin price from its current level. He added that a bounce is likely in the short term. However, the analyst noted that the bigger question is whether this would be a bounce to new all-time highs (ATHs) or just a relief rally on the way down in a bear market. Regardless of what happens, he is optimistic that an upward move will occur in the short term. Colin also alluded to the fact that the Federal Reserve will end quantitative tightening (QT) by December, a move which he described as another bullish catalyst for the Bitcoin price. This move is expected to inject more liquidity into the BTC and possibly spark higher prices for the flagship crypto. The Fed could also cut rates again at the December FOMC meeting, which would be a bullish catalyst for Bitcoin. Another Analyst Confirms Death Cross Popular crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen also confirmed that the Bitcoin price just had a death cross. He noted that prior death crosses have marked local lows in the market. However, he added that the death cross rally fails when the cycle is over, which could be the case this time if the bull market is over. Related Reading: Why Are The Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Dogecoin Prices Down Again? Cowen stated that the time for the Bitcoin price to bounce if the cycle is not over would start within the next week. The analyst further remarked that if no bounce occurs within one week, another dump is likely before a larger rally back to the 200D SMA, which he claimed would mark a macro lower high. Meanwhile, market analyst Subu Trade shared data on how BTC has reacted after historical death crosses. The last death cross occurred in April this year, and the flagship crypto recorded a 22% gain following it. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $95,100, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pngtree, chart from Tradingview.com

US President Donald Trump on Friday voiced support for a Senate measure that would let the US impose tariffs of up to 500% on imports from nations still buying Russian energy. “It would be okay with me,” he said. Related Reading: From Dotcom To Crypto: Veteran Analyst Says The Bull Run Isn’t Over Based on reports, the proposal names oil, natural gas, petroleum products and uranium as covered goods and highlights major buyers such as India and China. The move is described as a tool meant to squeeze Russia’s export revenues, but the measure remains proposed and has not become law. Tariffs Up To 500% On Energy Imports Reports have disclosed that the bill would give the President authority to slap punitive duties — as high as 500% — on goods coming from any country judged to be materially trading in Russian energy. JUST IN: ???????????????? President Trump approves bill allowing 500% tariffs on countries trading with Russia. pic.twitter.com/qaBKVUMwTN — BRICS News (@BRICSinfo) November 17, 2025 Lawmakers behind the text say the measure targets energy purchases that help fund Moscow. How the tariff would be applied, and the exact list of goods and exceptions, is still being worked out in committee. Legal experts warn that a 500% duty would raise immediate questions about trade rules and possible retaliation. Immediate Shock To Risk Assets Markets reacted fast. Crypto traders moved to the exits in the first hours after the news, pushing volatility up across major tokens. Nearly $620 million in crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, forcing over 152,000 traders out, with a single $30 million BTC-USD order on Hyperliquid being the largest hit. Major altcoins like XRP, Solana, and Cardano saw sharp swings, and Ethereum dropped toward the $3,000 level. Bitcoin took a 1% hit following the news. In the last week, BTC has lost close to 10% of its value since hitting an all-time high of $126k on October 6, 2025. The crypto market is highly sensitive to geopolitical trade shocks. Analysts warn that a proposed 500% tariff on countries trading with Russia—significantly higher than past rates that caused a $200 billion wipeout—could trigger severe panic selling. Analysts believe that if the large-scale tariff is brought into effect, its short-term effect could decrease Bitcoin and major altcoins’ prices by 10% to 20% due to increased economic uncertainty and panic. Related Reading: Forget The Obituaries—Cardano Is Alive, Says Bitcoin Analyst Wider Economic Ripples And Energy Prices If the tariffs were ever applied, energy flows would be disrupted. That could push crude and gas prices higher, and higher energy costs usually feed into inflation. Central banks might respond by holding rates higher for longer, which can hurt risk assets including crypto. Yet, history shows that once a new price regime takes hold, people sometimes seek alternatives to cash and bank deposits. That dynamic is part of why crypto markets are watching this proposal so closely. Featured image from David Hume Kennerly/Getty Images, chart from TradingView

What to Know: Web3 wallets are becoming DeFi control centers, and Best Wallet targets that role with a multi-chain, MPC-secured, mobile-first app. $BEST powers fee discounts, staking boosts, early presale access, and governance, as well as card and iGaming perks inside the Best Wallet ecosystem. The $BEST presale ends in 11 days, on November 28, with $17M+ already raised and $BEST valued at $0.025955. Investors are already FOMO-diving into the presale, with a recent whale buy of $30,744 setting the pace for the remainder of the presale stage. Self custody is back in fashion. As regulation tightens and exchange blowups fade yet never quite disappear from memory, more users are parking assets in Web3 wallets. And they’re doing everything from swapping to staking without handing over their keys. That shift has put a spotlight on wallet-native tokens. Assets like Trust Wallet Token have shown that fee discounts, early access, and governance can give a wallet coin real staying power when the market turns risk on. This is the backdrop for Best Wallet Token ($BEST), the utility asset behind the Best Wallet ecosystem. The $BEST presale has already raised more than $17M, with the current token price at $0.025955 and headline staking yields in the high double digits, at 76% APY. The sale will reach its final conclusion on November 28, which leaves less than two weeks before the next phase of the project begins. Crucially, much of Best Wallet’s roadmap is still ahead of it. Features like a staking aggregator, Best Card, advanced trading tools, and gas-free transactions are mapped out but not fully live. That makes this final stretch of the presale effectively a bet on whether Best Wallet can turn its existing app into a full DeFi ecosystem over the next couple of years. ➡️ Discover more about the Best Wallet Token ($BEST) in our full review. Best Wallet Aims To Become A DeFi Control Center The Best Wallet app is already live as a non-custodial mobile crypto wallet with coming support for thousands of assets across more than 60 chains. ???? It uses Fireblocks’ MPC security, biometric login, and decentralized recovery rather than seed phrases, which is the kind of UX upgrade that helps new users stay on chain without sweating over losing a 12-word backup. The roadmap pushes that idea much further. Phase 3 will bring a portfolio management suite, browser extension, NFT gallery, derivatives trading, and a dedicated staking aggregator that promises higher yields with no extra wallet fees. Phase 4 will add market analytics, limit and stop loss orders, dollar cost averaging, MEV protection, and gas-free transactions, effectively turning the wallet into a full trading terminal. On top of this, Best Wallet hooks into iGaming partnerships and a planned Best Card debit product. ???? $BEST holders can earn higher cashback, better bonuses and reduced card fees, which pulls the token into real-world spending and gaming flows rather than leaving it as a pure governance chip. All of that utility revolves around $BEST. The token unlocks reduced swap and purchase fees, higher staking rewards, access to the best crypto presales in the in-app launchpad, and governance rights over future upgrades. If Best Wallet makes good on its plan to grow into a DeFi control center, that value should accrue first to long-term $BEST holders. ➡️ Check out our guide to buying $BEST. Final BEST Presale Phase Targets Yield And Upside The $BEST presale began in November 2024 and has moved through a long ladder of incremental price steps. ???? After passing the $17M mark and climbing to $0.025955, the token now sits in its final stage, with the presale due to end on November 28. The global crypto wallet market, currently valued at around $15.5B, is forecast to have a hefty CAGR of 26.3%, reaching $110.7B by 2033. Best Wallet plans to dominate 40% of that market by the end of next year, which is why a fully funded roadmap is key. That’s where $BEST’s capital raise matters. Its tokenomics are relatively simple. There is a fixed supply of 10B $BEST. One-quarter is earmarked for product development, more than a third for marketing, and 8% for staking rewards, with the rest split between airdrops, exchange liquidity, community incentives and treasury. That mix leans heavily into growth and user acquisition, which makes sense for a wallet trying to win that 40% share in a crowded market. ???? Given Best Wallet’s ecosystem utility and long-term goals, our price prediction for $BEST sees it potentially reaching $0.05106175 by the end of 2026, once the implementation phase kicks off. Using the current presale price of $0.025955, that implies potential upside of close to 97% to the 2026 high, although actual performance will depend on adoption, listings and macro conditions. This performance and price projection makes $BEST one of the best crypto presales of 2025. Investors continue to tune in, with a recent $30,744 whale buy setting the pace for the rest of the remaining 11 days. Ready to jump in? Buy $BEST before the presale ends.
