The housing market is telling us a recession isn't coming, it's already here, and I'm positioning my funded accounts to trade the fallout. While everyone is glued to CPI prints, the real data dropped this week: a record gap of over 600,000 more homes for sale than buyers to purchase them. This isn't just a cooling market; it's a buyer's strike. For...

Everyone is panicking about this dip to $63,000. I get it. Red candles are scary. But the on-chain data is telling a completely different story, and it reminds me of a hard lesson I learned back in 2020: price is often just noise distracting you from the real signal. The signal right now? Glassnode just reported that whale-sized wallets have accumu...

Headlines don't move markets, order flow does. You probably saw the news that FedEx (FDX) is suing the US government for a tariff refund. My phone blew up with alerts. But honestly? I don't care about the legal arguments or the long-term implications. While analysts like Sarah Chen are probably digging through the filings to see how this affects Q4...

Ultima Markets Daily Market Insights – February 24, 2026

I saw the Grayscale note this morning while checking the funding rates. XRP is now the second most-cited cryptocurrency after BTC. The social media crowd is ecstatic. My first thought? So what. I've been in this market since 2017, and I learned one thing the hard way during the 2018 crash: social chatter and actual capital flow are two completely d...

The crypto world is buzzing about Hong Kong's RedotPay eyeing a US IPO to raise over $1 billion. The first question I see in trading chats is, "How do we play this?" Wrong question. Completely. After failing over 20 prop firm challenges in my career, I can tell you the right question is, "How do I prevent this headline from making me do something s...

Everyone's losing their minds over NEAR launching a super-app. That's great. But from where I'm sitting, watching my P&L on three different funded accounts, the only 'super-app' I care about is my risk calculator. I've seen more accounts blown up by chasing news than I've seen saved by a game-changing announcement. The announcement of NEAR launchin...

I saw the numbers this morning and had to re-read them. A $2,800 annual fee for a digital nomad visa in Bhutan. Steep, but not unheard of. But then came the kicker: a mandatory $10,000 investment into a new gold-backed cryptocurrency called TER. This isn't a fee. It's forced participation in a sovereign financial experiment. While everyone is distr...

This morning, the first number I checked wasn't a crypto price. It was the 90-day correlation coefficient between BTC and the S&P 500. It’s sitting around 0.4, a level that makes most crypto natives feel comfortable, even complacent. They think decoupling is here. They're wrong. In a real risk-off panic, that correlation snaps to 0.8 or higher in a...

The internet is buzzing with MicroStrategy's peak unrealized loss of $9.5 billion on its Bitcoin holdings. I've seen the headlines. And frankly, they're missing the entire point. This isn't a story about a loss; it's a story about conviction, and it's a perfect example of how traditional finance mindsets completely fail to grasp this asset class. W...
