Jeffries said the legislation had so many loopholes that sanctions harming Russia might not be applied The unprecedented spate of mid-decade redistricting for the US House has changed the congressional districts for one-tenth of Americans and significantly altered the makeup of at least one-fifth of districts, according to a new study. A report by Protect Democracy found that 34.8m people - about one in 10 Americans - now live in a different district than they did during the 2024 election cycle. Why in the world would this Congress give this president additional authority to visit that kind of economic harm on the American people? Continue reading...

ETHUSDT 1D: (Long Game Plan) 1. Market Context On the Daily (1D) chart, Ethereum (ETHUSDT) has been consolidating within a high-level range between 2,400.00 and 2,550.00 (upper red box) inside the broader expansion structure (blue box). Price is currently pulling back toward the lower red accumulation box near 2,200.00 – 2,250.00, setting up a major liquidity-sweep buy setup before an explosive rally toward the macro 2,936.12 "Kill Zone". 2. Sentiment & House Trap Analysis • Where Traders Place Orders: Retail buyers who chased the rally are holding long positions with Stop Losses clustered tightly below 2,350.00. Meanwhile, retail shorters are preparing to short the breakdown of 2,400.00, expecting a full collapse back to 1,900.00. • Trader Stop-Loss & Target: Weak buyers have SLs around 2,200.00 – 2,350.00. Shorters plan to target the lower purple demand floor. • How the House Plays It: The House will intentionally drop price into the lower red box (2,200.00 – 2,250.00) to sweep buyer stop-losses and bait retail into opening late short positions. Once maximum sell-side liquidity is absorbed at discount prices, the House will engineer a rapid V-shaped reversal (indicated by the purple arrow), launching ETH past 2,550.00 and expanding straight into the upper green box toward the 2,936.12 macro "Kill Zone". 3. Trade Setup (Macro Long Plan) • Entry: 2,200.00 – 2,250.00 (Buying the liquidity sweep rejection inside the lower red box) • Stop Loss (SL): 2,050.00 (Placed safely below the major blue expansion box support floor) • Take Profit 1 (TP1): 2,550.00 (Upper red box resistance ceiling) • Take Profit 2 (TP2): 2,936.12 (Macro "Kill Zone" resistance target) • Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R:R): Approx 3.6:1 (Calculated toward TP2)
ETHUSDT 4H: 1. Market Context On the 4H chart, Ethereum (ETHUSDT) has been consolidating inside a multi-week horizontal range between 2,392.88 and 2,560.00. Price recently executed a sharp "Liquidity Sweep" wick above the 2,560.00 ceiling, followed by a violent rejection back into the box. Price is now pressing down to break the lower range support floor at 2,392.88. 2. Sentiment & House Trap Analysis Where Traders Place Orders: Retail buyers are opening BUY positions around the triple-touch support floor at 2,392.88 (marked by orange circles), expecting another range bounce back toward 2,560.00+. Trader Stop-Loss & Target: These range buyers placed tight Stop-Loss orders immediately below the 2,392.88 support floor. How the House Plays It: The House engineered a swift upper Liquidity Sweep above 2,560.00 to wipe out early shorters and bait retail into buying the fake breakout. Once top liquidity was collected, the House dumped price back through the range. A confirmed 4H close đâm thủng (breaking below) 2,392.88 will trigger a cascade of forced panic sell-stop orders from trapped buyers, propelling ETH down toward 2,245.70 (TP1) and 2,098.51 (TP2). 3. Trade Setup Entry: 2,392.88 (Confirmed 4H close breaking below horizontal range support) Stop Loss (SL): 2,540.07 (Placed safely inside the upper consolidation range) Take Profit 1 (TP1): 2,245.70 Take Profit 2 (TP2): 2,098.51 Risk-to-Reward Ratio (R:R): Approx 2.0:1 (Calculated toward TP2)
