$LINK STRONG LONG MOMENTUM, BUT LEVERAGE IS THE RISK

LINK is trading at $8.344, above the shown average long entry of $8.202, with the 50X position sitting at +86.56% unrealized PnL. Buyers currently have the advantage, but such leverage makes any sharp pullback dangerous.

📊 24H Change: Not provided

Support: $8.20, then $8.00

Resistance: $8.50, then $8.80

A sustained break above $8.50 could open TG1 $8.80, TG2 $9.10, TG3 $9.50. Losing $8.20 would weaken momentum and put $8.00 back in focus.

No liquidation data is shown, so positioning risk matters more here.

Stop-loss: Below $8.00.

Pro Trader Tip: Protect profits after a strong move. Don't let a winning 50X position turn into a forced exit.

NSW POLICE SEIZE 52 BITCOIN LINKED TO DARKNET MARKETPLACE IN 15-MONTH INVESTIGATION New South Wales police seized 52 Bitcoin worth approximately $4.1 million from an alleged darknet marketplace operator in Ingleburn, Sydney, following a 15-month investigation, the NSW Police Force announced on May 8. Strike Force Andalusia, a unit within the State Crime Command’s Cyber Crime Squad, executed a search warrant at a residential property on May 4, where detectives recovered electronic devices and the cryptocurrency wallet. NSW Police described the seizure as one of the largest darknet-related cryptocurrency confiscations in Australia’s history. Two men, aged 41 and 39, were arrested in connection with the operation. The 41-year-old is scheduled to appear in Campbelltown Local Court on May 13 and the 39-year-old in Batemans Bay Local Court on June 15. Police alleged the Bitcoin represents proceeds from illegal activity involving drugs and weapons traded through a darknet marketplace. The seizure coincides with a broader regulatory tightening across Australia’s digital asset sector. The Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre launched two enforcement campaigns targeting over-the-counter crypto-to-cash services and local exchanges on the same day. Australia’s Corporations Amendment (Digital Assets Framework) Act 2026 received Royal Assent on April 8 and will bring digital asset platforms into the financial services licensing regime from April 9, 2027.
