Only 3 times in Bitcoin’s ENTIRE history have short term holders capitulated at levels like these.


Each time, the bottom was near and Bitcoin went parabolic soon after.


Capitulation is bullish.

⚡ COLD CARD ATTACK: $88.6M BTC STOLEN!


ACTION: OBSERVE – CHECK YOUR WALLETS


A suspected fourth wave of Coldcard attacks hit TODAY, with 388.93 BTC stolen in just 2.5 hours across 462 addresses . Total losses have now reached approximately 1,359.88 BTC (~$88.6 million) affecting over 4,500 addresses .


Key Details:


· Vulnerability: Weak pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) issue introduced after a March 2021 firmware update

· Sweep rate: Surged 45-fold from 0.3 to 13.8 per block

· Victims: Long-term holders — stolen funds had been dormant for over three years on average


Trading Setup – BTC/USDT (if market reacts):


Kigezo Thamani

ACTION OBSERVE / WAIT

ENTRY Watch for panic selling or on-chain migration activity

TP1 Monitor support at $63,000

TP2 Monitor resistance at $63,800

SL Tight stops if trading

LEVERAGE 1-2x


⚠️ MAELEZO: This is a self-custody security issue — not an exchange hack. While the event hasn't caused significant short-term BTC price impact, it has increased on-chain migration activity. If you hold BTC in older wallets, consider migrating to newer addresses .

⚡ $ZEC is showing signs of accumulation after a healthy pullback. Strong buying interest near support suggests sellers are losing momentum.

If buyers reclaim the short-term resistance, a sharp breakout could follow. 👀

$IMU USDT has exploded higher, delivering one of the strongest gains on the board. Such sharp rallies often create excitement, but volatility also increases significantly. If buyers defend support after this powerful move, another breakout above resistance could extend the trend even further. However, traders should remain cautious because rapid gains are often followed by healthy corrections. Let price confirm strength before entering new positions. Support: 26.00 Resistance: 30.00 Next Target: 33.50. Protect profits and avoid overleveraging during high-volatility sessions.

BLOCK WARNS COLDCARD VULNERABILITY MAY HAVE ENABLED ONGOING WALLET DRAINS Block says it began investigating reports of non-Bitkey wallets being remotely drained and identified two vulnerabilities affecting Coldcard Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, Q, and Mk5 devices at varying levels. According to Block, vulnerable firmware generated wallet seeds with far less randomness than intended, potentially making some wallets predictable to attackers. The company warns the attack is likely ongoing and says simply importing an affected seed into a different wallet does not eliminate the risk, as the seed itself remains compromised. Block says no Bitkey or other Block products are affected and that it disclosed its findings to Coinkite before publishing its report.

Just checked my wallets and all btc remains intact. -Cold card mk4 -Generated seed on device using the 24 word RNG in the menu It is very strange to me that some devices would have poor generation of keys while most devices’ keys are intact. There are definitely extra curricular activities to this story.
