Bitcoin Price Surges to $90K: Decisive Recovery or Another Dead-Cat Bounce?

After a few consecutive days of little to no actual action, bitcoin’s price surged Monday morning to just over $90,000, where it faced some resistance.

This raises questions whether this latest rally is just another repeat of what has been transpiring for the past several weeks – breakout attempts to $90,000 followed by subsequent violent rejections and sideways action.

CW attributed today’s price revival to a favorable alignment of retail and whales who are simultaneously buying BTC. The analyst believes that retail returning is of particular interest as they have sat on the sidelines for a while, especially since the October crash.

In a separate post, CW explained that almost all exchanges are showing strong BTC buying signals, especially Binance. They added that “whales who had been resting are back.”

Ali Martinez, though, recently published a different view on the matter. He believes the cryptocurrency is forming another dead-cat bounce before it “potentially makes another leg lower.”

He justified his rather bearish prediction with the lack of actual positive capital flows. Just the opposite; the net capital flow has turned negative, dropping below $-4.5 billion.

The trend is similar to the spot BTC ETFs, which have been bleeding out for months. As reported recently, they went from almost $63 billion in net inflows in early October to well under $57 billion as of Friday’s close.

For now, though, BTC is 2.3% in the green daily, trading close to $90,000. Its Monday resurgence has awakened some altcoins, such as ETH, which jumped past $3,000. BNB is above $860, while XRP has touched the crucial $1.90 support.

OFAC Designates Two Iranian Finance Facilitators For Crypto Shadow Banking

The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned two Iranian financial facilitators for coordinating over $100 million worth of cryptocurrency in oil sales for the Iranian government, a September 16 press release shows. OFAC Sanctions Iranian Nationals According to the Tuesday press release, Iranian nationals Alireza Derakhshan and Arash Estaki Alivand “used a network of front companies in multiple foreign jurisdictions” to transfer the digital assets. OFAC alleges that Alivand and Derakhshan’s transfers also involved the sale of Iranian oil that benefited Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) and the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL). IRGC-QF and MODAFL then used the proceeds to support regional proxy terrorist organizations and strengthen their advanced weapons systems, including ballistic missiles. U.S. officials say the move targets shadow banking in the region, where illicit financial actors use overseas money laundering and digital assets to evade sanctions. “Iranian entities rely on shadow banking networks to evade sanctions and move millions through the international financial system,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John K. Hurley. “Under President Trump’s leadership, we will continue to disrupt these key financial streams that fund Iran’s weapons programs and malign activities in the Middle East and beyond,” he continued. Dozens Designated In Shadow Banking Scandal Both Alivand and Derakhshan have been designated “for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of the IRGC-QF.” In addition to Alivand and Derakhshan, OFAC has sanctioned more than a dozen Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates-based entities and individuals tied to the network. According to the press release, the sanctioned entities may face civil or criminal penalties imposed as a result
