Bitcoin Breaks Historical Patterns: Q4 Trigger Many May Have Missed

Well-known analyst Benjamin Cowen has unveiled an updated strategic model for Bitcoin in Q4 2026, urging investors to abandon forecasting in favor of responding strictly to the charts current structure. He made the statement as Bitcoin tested a key technical level around $83,000.  The trigger for this urgent reassessment of market strategy was Bitcoins move above its May high on the weekly timeframe, which effectively broke the classic four-year cycle pattern. According to the analyst, the current weekly candles close will activate the main trigger determining the assets direction through the end of the year.  What one weekly candle will decide  Under Cowens updated framework, the markets next move depends entirely on whether Bitcoin can hold its current price levels. The analyst outlines two possible outcomes:Bullish scenario (holding above): If Bitcoin closes the week and holds above its May peak, it would significantly strengthen buyers position and lay the groundwork for an uptrend throughout the fourth quarter.Bearish scenario (false breakout):A move back below the May high would amount to a major fakeout. In that case, the asset would face the seasonal correction typical at the end of the year, though it would not fall to new cycle lows.  Bitcoin weekly chart from Benjamin Cowen

SlowMist has yet to confirm crypto theft from iPhone Safari attack

An iPhone Safari attack behind recent security warnings hasn‘t yet been linked to a confirmed cryptocurrency theft in SlowMist’s investigation.  Multiple reports surfaced this week urging iPhone users to update their devices immediately and warning that malicious Safari pages could expose crypto private keys and seed phrases, with some citing a range from iOS 13 through iOS 26.5.  SlowMist told Cointelegraph that it has not independently confirmed a victim compromised by the specific Safari attack sample it analyzed, while its strongest technical evidence covers iOS 18.4 through 18.6.2.  The company said the “iOS 13 to 26.5” range should be treated as preliminary. “We therefore prefer to avoid stating that iOS 26.5 is affected until there is reproducible technical evidence,” it said.  The Safari attack reuses techniques from a previously disclosed DarkSword exploit chain and is separate from FomoPeek, another SlowMist investigation involving malicious components embedded in an App Store app.  SlowMist finds DarkSword reuse  Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) disclosed DarkSword in March, describing it as an iOS exploit chain that had been used by multiple threat actors since at least November 2025.  SlowMist said MistEye, a threat intelligence team led by its chief information security officer, 23pds, first identified the relevant activity in early May.  SlowMist published

Bitget clarifies $388M in assets affected by security breach

Crypto exchange Bitget released an updated incident report on Thursdays security breach, clarifying that about $388 million in assets had been affected and not $352 million as previously reported.  In a Friday update, Bitget said it would continue to pause withdrawals following the security breach, and the company had launched a bounty program to incentivize freezing or recovering the assets. The exchange confirmed that “$387.5 million were transferred to attacker-controlled addresses” based on onchain tracing — about $35 million more than reported on Thursday.  “The revised figure reflects a more complete accounting of transfers that occurred during the incident, adding affected assets on Zcash and TRON that were not included in the initial estimate,” said Bitget. “It does not reflect further unauthorized transfers. The incident remains contained and no further unauthorized transfers are possible.”  According to Bitget, the incident included addresses on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks, the XRP Ledger, Zcash and TRON. Among the assets stolen were XRP, Ether (ETH), Tethers USDt (USDT), Zcash (ZEC), USDC, USDT0, XAUt, BNB, AVAX and TRX. The follow-up report did not address comments made by CEO Gracy Chen on Thursday speculating that a North Korean hacking group may have been behind the attack.  Even with the update

Bitcoin Price Clears Key Cost Bases as $14B Options Expiry Hits  Bitcoins latest rally is beginning to look different from the short-lived rebounds that defined much of 2026.  The largest crypto asset by market cap has moved back above several important investor cost bases after a roughly $10,000 advance over the 10 days. More importantly, holders are not rushing to sell into the recovery.  Onchain data from Glassnode shows that bitcoins price never closed below its Realized Price during the downturn. The percentage of supply held in profit fell to levels comparable with 2022, yet Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) remained positive.

Strategy's daily dividend proposal puts Bitcoin funding back in investors' hands

The @saylor account said Friday that Strategy wants to pay dividends daily on four of the preferred shares it uses in its Bitcoin financing strategy. The proposal would put cash in holders‘ hands sooner without changing the securities’ economics at their current rates. Its value to Strategy depends on whether investors will pay more for that timing.  The hurdle differs across the four shares. At Thursdays close, before the proposal, STRF traded above $100 and STRC was close to it, while STRK and STRD were in the low $70s. Those prices are a trading baseline, not evidence that daily payment will lift demand or that Strategy could issue new shares at the same prices.  According to the post, dividends on STRF, STRC, STRK and STRD would accrue every calendar day, including weekends and holidays, and be paid the next business day. It did not specify daily record dates, an effective date or the series-by-series approvals. Strategys August 31 dividend declaration still sets quarterly payments for STRF, STRK and STRD and twice-monthly payments for STRC.  A faster calendar does not equal the same claim  Strategy‘s preferred-stock disclosure draws a sharper distinction than payment frequency. Dividends on STRF, STRC and STRK are cumulative, meaning unpaid amounts

Bond Yields Hit a 24-Year High: Schiff, Ackman, Hayes Can't Agree Why

The Numbers on the Screen  The U.S. Treasurys daily yield curve shows the 10-year note closing at 5.18% and the 30-year bond at 5.47% on Sept. 24. Both are 2026 highs. The 10-year has not closed that high since July 2007, and the 30-year has not gone that high since February 2002.  The move has been fast because just a week earlier, on Sept. 17, the 10-year sat at 4.94%, so it has climbed 24 basis points in five sessions. The trigger came on Sept. 16, when the Federal Reserve raised its target range by a quarter point to 3.75%–4%. It was the first hike since July 2023, and 6 of 18 policymakers expected at least one more increase this year.  Schiff: Enjoy It While It Lasts  Gold advocate and longtime bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff posted Thursday night that with 10-and 30-year rates at all-time highs, its once again the perfect time to accrue gold, adding:  “Enjoy these low rates while you can as they wont last long. Soaring government spending, debt, inflation and de-dollarization will drive rates much higher. Got gold?”  Ackman and Armstrong: Is the Fed Feeding the Fire?  Pershing Square founder Bill Ackman went after the Federal Reserve directly and in a post argued

Strategy Proposes Daily Dividends for STRC, Preferred Stocks

Strategy is seeking shareholder approval to move its four preferred stocks, including STRC, to daily dividend payments without changing their dividend rates or the total amount paid.  The companys board approved the proposal on Thursday, according to a Friday filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders are scheduled to vote on the amendments at a virtual special meeting on Oct. 28.  If approved, each calendar day would become a dividend record date, with the corresponding payment made on the next business day. STRC would move to the new schedule first, with its initial daily dividend payment expected on Nov. 2.  STRF, STRK and STRD would follow in January, with their first payments under the daily schedule expected on Jan. 4. The amendments would take effect after Strategy files updated certificates governing the preferred stocks with the state of Delaware.  Related: Strategy buys 950 Bitcoin for $76M, repurchases $174M in STRC  Strategy follows Strive into daily dividends  Strategys proposal comes several months after fellow Bitcoin treasury company Strive moved its SATA preferred stock to daily dividend payments, becoming the first public company to adopt the model.
