$KAS is showing one of the cleanest structures here.
Price bounced from $0.02664, reclaimed the mid range, and pushed toward $0.032. Now it is consolidating near the highs instead of giving back the whole move.
As long as $KAS holds above $0.030, the chart still favors continuation toward a fresh breakout.

$ARB swept the lows near $0.0705 and bounced back strongly.
That move looks like a liquidity grab before a potential short term reversal. As long as price holds above the recent low, the structure can start shifting back toward $0.080 and $0.084.
ARB just needs one strong reclaim candle to bring momentum back.

$LIT 📈 Remember when I flagged $LIT around the $2–2.1 zone?
It's now sitting at 2.53, up almost 16% today alone. If you caught that call and loaded up, this is your moment to speak up.
Here's where things stand technically: daily RSI6 is sitting at 90.65 — that's extremely overbought territory, one of the highest readings I've seen on this chart in a while. MACD is still rising and volume is strong, so momentum is clearly still with the bulls. But at this RSI level, moves like this tend to either extend hard (parabolic continuation) or cool off sharply before the next leg.
The real number to watch is the all-time high at 2.7650. Price is getting close, and how it behaves right at that level will tell us a lot — a clean break with volume would be a strong signal, while a rejection there could mean a pause is coming first.
So who actually bought when I flagged this in the $2 zone? And more importantly — do you think LIT pushes through its all-time high this time, or does it need to cool off first before making another attempt?
Drop your entry and your take in the comments. If this update's useful, share it with someone tracking LIT right now, and stick around for the next breakdown on this one.

🚨 Brazil Targets PCC-Linked Money Laundering Network With Nearly $2 Billion in Assets Brazil’s Federal Police launched Operation Exchange against an alleged money laundering network tied to international drug trafficking and Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), one of the country’s largest criminal organizations. Investigators identified more than 10 billion reais in suspicious transactions, equal to roughly $1.92 billion. The operation included search warrants, temporary arrest warrants, and court-authorized freezes of assets, valuables, and crypto assets. While cryptocurrencies were allegedly used as part of the laundering network, the reported figures refer to the broader financial volume under investigation, not exclusively to crypto assets already seized. What's Happening? According to authorities, the network used a sophisticated structure to move and conceal proceeds from international drug trafficking. The scheme allegedly combined crypto transfers, cash transportation, high-value banking transactions, and transfers between individuals and companies. The operation came just days after the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Brazilian nationals and companies accused of operating a PCC-linked financial node between Florida and São Paulo. OFAC said part of the network used cryptocurrency to move illicit funds from the United States back to Brazil, highlighting growing international coordination in targeting criminal financial infrastructure. Key Details • Brazil’s Federal Police carried out Operation Exchange. • The investigation targets a network allegedly linked to PCC and international drug trafficking. • More than 10 billion reais in suspicious transactions were identified. • A court authorized freezes of assets, valuables, and crypto assets worth up to nearly $2 billion. • OFAC sanctioned two Brazilian nationals and several companies connected to the scheme. Context The case reinforces a global trend: authorities are becoming more capable of tracing, freezing, and seizing digital assets used in illicit activity. While cryptocurrencies can be used to move value quickly, blockchains also create transaction trails that investigators can analyze when combined with banking data, corporate records, and international cooperation. For Brazil, the case comes amid growing scrutiny of exchanges, fintechs, and payment structures potentially used by criminal networks. The country has one of the highest crypto adoption rates in Latin America, increasing both legitimate usage and the need for stronger anti-money laundering controls. The operation also shows that regulatory attention is no longer focused only on retail users or trading platforms. Authorities are increasingly examining the intersection between crypto, shell companies, cross-border payments, and organized crime.

Kim Dotcom Loses Another Appeal Against Extradition to the US. Kim Dotcom has suffered another legal defeat in New Zealand in his long-running fight against extradition to the United States. The Court of Appeal in Wellington rejected his appeal and upheld the previous extradition decision. The judges also found that extradition would not violate Section 9 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act, which prohibits torture and inhuman treatment. According to the court, such treatment is not expected if Dotcom is extradited to the US. Dotcom, born Kim Schmitz in Kiel, Germany, now has only one remaining legal option: an appeal to the Supreme Court of New Zealand. The US authorities accuse him of large-scale copyright infringement and money laundering connected to the former file-sharing platform Megaupload. Users allegedly used Megaupload to exchange copyrighted films, TV shows and music without permission. If convicted in the US, Dotcom could face decades in prison. New Zealand’s Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith signed the extradition order around 2 years ago. Since then, Dotcom has tried to stop the extradition through several legal steps. The case has been ongoing for more than 10 years. Dotcom has also repeatedly pointed to health problems. In late 2024, he said he had suffered a serious stroke. Megaupload was once one of the most visited websites in the world. The platform generated revenue through advertising and paid premium accounts before it was shut down in 2012 after FBI investigations. Dotcom became known in the hacker scene in the 1990s and later became a wealthy internet entrepreneur through Megaupload. In 2002, he was also convicted in Munich for insider trading and received a suspended sentence and a fine. Today, he is mainly known for stealing content and tweet strange stuff on X.

After 5 months of silence, the Step Finance exploiter is on the move again. After being dormant for more than 5 months, the exploiter sold all 261,933 $SOL (worth approximately $21.4M). The funds were then bridged from Solana to Ethereum, where the wallet purchased 12,128 ETH. Shortly afterward, the $ETH was deposited into Tornado Cash, a privacy protocol that has often been used to obscure on-chain fund flows. The sequence of transactions suggests the exploiter has fully exited the #sol position and moved the proceeds onto Ethereum before routing the funds through Tornado Cash.
