Silent Volatility

It's quiet out there. Too quiet.

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|* Good morning my tasty friends, I hope you're all having a wonderful start to your weekend. And, a wonderful beginning to the new year. It's been a decent start for the market, which we'll cover, but first we've got some exciting updates for 2026. The team is back in the cave and with our new flame throwers (the big ones with the tank backpacks). It's time to cook.   We're launching 2 new shows. First, Beans is morphing into The TC show with more segments, fresh guests, and the TC token of course.  Also, a weekly show where Dan and Ryan share all their ideas and investments, from crypto and defi to future-tech and prediction markets is coming soon. And, we're going to get louder on Discord. Admittedly, we've neglected the channel, but make sure to join the tastylive discord and get the tastycrypto role to stay updated going forward. Join Discord Market Update Positive start to the year for crypto, but it's been quite out there. Too quiet. Volatility in crypto, along with equities, continues to trend lower with ETH volatility now trading at a 1 year low.  Price momentum has shifted back into positive territory on the daily timeframe, but we're not yet seeing this from a weekly perspective. - This is the signal I'm waiting on before I get that bullish feeling again. We might be bottoming, but at the time of writing the trend is still bearish.  Our updated trend levels need to see BTC firmly above 94k, with ETH holding 3,150. Until then the trend remains bearish.  News that got our attention this week As Senators race towards market structure vote, DeFi devs remain a sticking point Morgan Stanley to launch digital wallet for tokenized assets Polygon Leads Altcoin Surge With 15% Rally Pump.fun overhauls creator fees as token launches hit highest daily count since September   Apologies for the relatively short note this week, we're getting back into writing and the market is still relatively quite post-holidays. As mentioned above, we'll be ramping up content in the coming weeks and we're planning a deep dive into crypto miners pivoting to AI in the next tastycrypto email too, so stay tuned. Until then, keep your head on a swivel. And as always...
