Veteran trader Peter Brandt sparked a fresh round of chart debate around Bitcoin after posting a chart and writing, “The Banana is splitting. This is a Horn. Richard W. Schabacker wrote about this in his 1934 book.” For market participants used to Brandt’s shorthand, the message pointed to a possible shift in how he is reading BTC’s recent recovery structure. The chart Brandt shared shows Bitcoin on the daily timeframe rebounding from a sharp February washout into the low-$60,000s and climbing back toward the low-$70,000s. The posted candle data showed BTC closing at $72,813.62 on the day, with an intraday high of $73,210.95. Around that rebound, Brandt drew two widening curved boundaries, creating the outline of what he called a “horn.” ‘Banana/Horn’ Could Send Bitc...

Every few years, a chart pattern resurfaces in the Bitcoin market that commands serious attention because it has repeated itself with near-mechanical consistency across every major US midterm election cycle since Bitcoin first started trading.  Bitcoin’s price history shows that these election-year corrections often happen near the end of major bull cycles before eventually giving way to another powerful expansion phase. Now, with the 2026 midterm cycle underway and Bitcoin already more than 50% off its all-time high, the coming months could include both a deeper correction and a much larger long-term rally.

The RWA market cap on Stellar (excluding stablecoins) surpassed $1 billion on Jan. 21, and increased 184% in 2025 from $301 million to $855 million. Moreover, the stablecoin market cap on Stellar increased 53% year-over-year from $159 million to $244 million, driven by PayPal’s PYUSD launch on the network in September, and USDC’s 45% YoY increase in market cap to $223 million. This expansion is being validated by institutional adoption, as U.S. Bank is testing custom issuance of its own stablecoin on Stellar, underscoring the network’s appeal due to its reliability (>99.99% uptime), affordability (settlement at <1 U.S. cent), and built-in asset controls for regulatory compliance. On top of this, in December, the Marshall Islands completed the world’s first onchain un...
