Bitcoin’s weekly chart shows promising signs of strength as the RSI continues to climb, hinting at the potential for further upside. However, the battle isn’t over yet. With price hovering near the critical $107,000 support, bulls must defend this level to prevent deeper downside pressure. RSI And Price Alignment: A Textbook Case Of Momentum Confirmation In a recent market update, EGRAG CRYPTO questioned whether the bulls and bears are even analyzing the same chart, as the current macro weekly structure of Bitcoin shows no signs of bearishness. The broader setup remains firmly bullish, suggesting that the ongoing price movements are part of a healthy uptrend. The analyst emphasized that when Bitcoin’s price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) rise simultaneously on the weekly timeframe, it serves as a confirmation of momentum rather than a warning sign. This alignment often signals strong buying interest and market conviction, supporting the argument for continued bullish pressure in the near to mid-term. EGRAG CRYPTO further highlighted that the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) ribbon remains supportive, reinforcing the trend’s strength. In the expert’s view, the current setup is a clear indication of macro confirmation, not mere market noise. Such alignment between indicators typically precedes significant continuation phases, showing that the trend remains well-structured and sustainable. However, the expert added a note of caution, stating that traders should only be wary if the RSI climbs into overbought territory above 70, which could suggest a temporary cooldown. For now, with RSI hovering around 50, Bitcoin still has plenty of room to run. This leaves the market with a strong technical foundation and considerable potential for further upside momentum. Bitcoin Faces Rejection At $111,000: Bulls Lose Grip On Momentum According to Crypto VIP Signal’s latest analysis, Bitcoin is currently facing challenges after failing to sustain its upward momentum above $111,000. The rejection from this point suggests that selling pressure remains strong, keeping bullish momentum temporarily in check. Crypto VIP explained that Bitcoin is now retesting the $107,000 support zone, a critical area that could determine the next possible move. Holding this level is essential to prevent a deeper pullback, as it has served as a key foundation during previous consolidation phases. However, a decisive break below the $107,000 support would likely trigger additional selling pressure, potentially extending the ongoing correction. Monitoring this level closely now appears important, since a bounce from here could reignite bullish sentiment, while a breakdown might expose Bitcoin to further downside risks in the short term.

While Bitcoin (BTC) has declined more than 13% from its fresh all-time high (ATH) of $126,199 recorded earlier this month on October 6, CryptoQuant contributor PelinayPA is confident that there is a 55% chance that the BTC top for this market cycle is not in yet. Bitcoin Top Not In Yet – More Upside Ahead? According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor PelinayPA, there is a 55% probability that the Bitcoin top for the ongoing market cycle is not in yet. The analyst highlighted BTC’s recent on-chain flows to support their claim. In their analysis, PelinayPA noted that although BTC’s price has tumbled from more than $126,000 to around $109,000 in the second half of 2025, there has been a noticeable increase in 0-1 day BTC inflows to exchanges. A rise in 0-1 days BTC inflows to exchange typically has two implications – short-term traders are taking profits, and there is a temporary phase of repositioning of liquidity as traders transfer their holdings to exchanges, anticipating price volatility. The analyst added that BTC held for more than six months is largely inactive, indicating that long-term holders are likely not selling despite the recent market crash. This signals market confidence among long-term holders, minimizing the possibility of another major sell-off in the near term. PelinayPA remarked that such behavior typically occurs in the mid or maturing stages of a bull cycle, where any dip in price is seen as an opportunity to accumulate instead of a trend reversal. Currently, the Bitcoin market is in a natural consolidation phase within an ongoing uptrend. The analyst added: In the short term, Bitcoin could revisit the $102K region as short term traders continue to take profits. However, since this selling pressure originates mainly from newer holders, it is unlikely to disrupt the broader bullish structure. These dips may offer attractive entry opportunities. Concluding, Pelinay commented that the lack of selling activity among BTC holders in the 6-months to 10-year time-band range shows that there is a 55% probability that the bull market top has not yet formed. BTC Could Dip To $102,000 The CryptoQuant contributor noted that, although it is likely that the BTC bull market top is not in yet, it does not mean that the top cryptocurrency would not see further temporary decline. If selling persists, BTC could once again test the $102,000 support level. Similarly, crypto analyst Elliot Waves Academy remarked that BTC has likely finished the bullish leg of the ongoing market cycle. The analyst added that BTC is likely to consolidate around its current levels. That said, a fellow CryptoQuant contributor noted that BTC has entered the ‘disbelief phase,’ and may take the bears by surprise with a sharp surge in price. At press time, BTC trades at $108,472, down 2% in the past 24 hours.

Dogecoin is confronting a dense supply overhang at the $0.21 neighborhood, where on-chain data show a striking concentration of realized cost. Market analyst Ali Martinez (@ali_charts) highlighted a Glassnode cost-basis distribution heatmap showing a heavy band at that level Dogecoin Bulls Face $2.2 Billion Wall “10.50 billion $DOGE were accumulated at $0.21. That’s a big resistance zone forming. Keep this level on your radar!” he wrote. The underlying tooltip on Ali’s chart (timestamped Oct. 19, 2025, UTC) pinpoints a Cost Basis Range: $0.21062334–$0.21144839 with Supply: 10,575,420,761.332544 DOGE clustered there. At $0.21, that cohort represents roughly $2.22 billion in supply. The technical context around that same band adds weight to the on-chain reading. In a separate TradingView chart shared Oct. 20, Ali noted that Dogecoin “just bounced off the channel support and looks set to climb. Eyes on $0.29 first, then $0.45 and $0.86.” Related Reading: Is The Dogecoin Bull Run Over? Analyst Sees Echoes Of 2021 His channel overlay tracks price respecting an ascending structure across multiple tests since 2023, with intermediate waypoints aligning closely to classical retracement and extension levels. Notably, the $0.21 area intersects the 0.618 retracement at ~$0.21205 on his plot—an overlap of technical and realized-price resistance that helps explain the current stall and the importance of clearing this shelf with convincing volume. DOGE Whales Continue To Accumulate A separate on-chain lens from Cryptollica (@Cryptollica) focuses on holder concentration dynamics. Sharing a long-horizon chart titled “Percent of Supply Held by Top 1% Addresses,” the analyst observed, “The supply held %1 data downward trend has not yet been seen as the price moves toward a new all-time high. To the moon > Target: $1.30.” The graphic shows the top-1% cohort maintaining an elevated—and recently rising—share of supply as price has recovered from the cycle lows. While such concentration is often interpreted as a proxy for large-holder conviction or tighter float, it can simultaneously amplify directional moves when those balances rotate; for now, the absence of a downtrend in the metric suggests no broad distribution from the largest addresses has materialized. Read together, the three signals sketch a coherent near-term battleground. First, the cost-basis heatmap identifies a thick realized-supply node precisely where spot is grappling—$0.21—implying latent sell pressure from holders looking to exit at break-even and equally strong validation if price can flip the level into support. Second, Ali’s price structure marks that same zone as Fibonacci resistance within an established rising channel, sharpening the inflection. Third, top-holder concentration has not rolled over, reducing evidence (so far) of heavy distribution into strength. If bulls absorb the ~$2.2 billion equivalent sitting at $0.21 and reclaim the 0.618 band, Ali’s stepped upside $0.29 (0.786 Fib), $0.46 (1.0 Fib) and $0.86 (1.272 Fib extension) path provides a clear roadmap of overhead targets; if they fail, the confluence argues for a renewed retest of channel support before any larger move. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.195.

On Tuesday, the GBP/USD currency pair once again traded with low volatility and continued to drift lower. This isn't surprising, as the week has not yet delivered a single significant event or report that could motivate traders to become more active. There's little for the market to respond to. Many factors continue to be overlooked, U.S. economic data has been halved due to the government shutdown, and the daily chart clearly shows a flat market. In such an environment, expecting strong moves, meaningful signals, and profits becomes difficult. In yesterday's EUR/USD analysis, we discussed the flat formation. GBP/USD shows the same structure on the daily chart: since July 1, the pair has been trading between 1.3140 and 1.3780. That gives us a sideways range over 600 pips wide—but this is a daily timeframe, and the scale is appropriate. At the moment, the British pound has all the advantages on its side. If we were observing a continuation of the uptrend instead of the current flat, that scenario would seem entirely logical. Therefore, we believe that the market is simply preparing for the next trend—more specifically, a new leg of the 2025 bullish trend. However, it's worth emphasizing that flat markets rarely end quietly or easily. While the forex market is less prone to manipulation than cryptocurrencies, such activity still occurs here. In the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) trading theory, there's a concept known as "deviation." This refers to a false breakout—when the price appears to break a range boundary, triggering orders and pulling liquidity before sharply reversing. Retail traders believe the range has broken, only to be caught on the wrong side by market makers who intentionally move prices in the opposite direction to harvest liquidity. We consider it entirely possible that the current flat on the daily GBP/USD chart could conclude similarly. There are two clearly defined lows—August 1 and October 14. One of these may be falsely breached for liquidity purposes, after which the pound could begin its new ascent. Such liquidity grabs are not guaranteed, but they are common enough to plan for. At this time, however, there is no clear motivation in the market to push the pair higher. By all indications, the sideways movement continues. There will be a few key events this week for both the dollar and the pound, but these are unlikely to be strong enough to break the flat structure. Historically, flat markets tend to end suddenly. The market may ignore important headlines for days or weeks, only to start a major move seemingly "out of nowhere." Therefore, readiness is critical. As of October 22, average volatility for GBP/USD over the past five trading days stands at 67 pips, classified as "average." For Wednesday, expected price action is likely to remain within the 1.3314 to 1.3448 range. The upper linear regression channel remains pointed upward, signaling a clear long-term uptrend. The CCI indicator has entered oversold territory three times recently, increasing the likelihood of trend resumption. Nearest Support Levels:S1 – 1.3367 S2 – 1.3306 S3 – 1.3245 Nearest Resistance Levels:R1 – 1.3428 R2 – 1.3489 R3 – 1.3550 Trading Recommendations:GBP/USD continues to attempt a resumption of the 2025 uptrend, and its long-term outlook remains intact. Donald Trump's policy agenda continues to pressure the dollar, so we do not expect sustained strength from the U.S. currency. Long positions targeting 1.3672 and 1.3733 remain preferable if the price is above the moving average. If the price falls below the MA line, short positions may be considered based on technical conditions, targeting 1.3314 and 1.3306. The U.S. dollar does occasionally show technical rebounds, but another leg higher is unlikely without a resolution to ongoing trade tensions or other strong, market-friendly developments.

On Tuesday, the EUR/USD currency pair continued to trade with low volatility in the complete absence of fundamental or macroeconomic events. The U.S. dollar managed to gain several dozen pips throughout the session, but one can hardly call this move justified. The dollar is once again strengthening for unclear reasons, even after a shift toward an upward trend. That said, the answers to all the questions can be found easily by simply switching to the daily timeframe. On the daily chart, it's clearly visible that since around July 1, EUR/USD has been trading in a flat. The sideways range is limited by the 1.1400 and 1.1825 levels. This gives the range a breadth of 425 pips, which may seem wide for a flat market. However, given that this is the daily timeframe, the width is proportionate. Yes, flat markets can indeed occur on higher timeframes, and in such cases, questions about the apparent randomness in price behavior become irrelevant. Another critical point to highlight is that this flat is unfolding at the top of the chart. The euro had rallied for about six months without a significant correction and then entered a sideways phase. In the medium term, the dollar has demonstrated no growth at all. It has merely posted a minor pullback and has now been waiting for several months for the market to begin the next wave of dollar selling. Meanwhile, on the 4-hour and lower timeframes, we observe alternating trends or directional movements. Since most traders are used to explaining every market move, many are now resorting to creative rationalizations for the dollar's growth. Among the reasons cited are the political crisis in France (which occurs every few months), the supposedly insufficiently dovish stance of the Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell (even though they are now far more dovish than they were earlier this year), and the classic narrative of growing risk-off sentiment. In short, many in the market are doing their best to retroactively justify the dollar's strength. However, few are actually forecasting a rally in the dollar beforehand. From our perspective, the recent movements are entirely explained by the flat on the daily timeframe. Price action within a flat structure has always been highly random, and that's why much of the recent dollar-negative narrative has been overlooked. We believe that market makers are still forming positions for the next trend. In our view, it is obvious that this next trend will be another bullish wave driven by Donald Trump's second term as U.S. president. As of October 22, the average volatility of the EUR/USD pair over the past five trading days stands at 55 pips, which is considered "average." We expect Wednesday's trading range to fall between 1.1561 and 1.1671. The upper linear regression channel is still pointing upward, indicating that the longer-term uptrend is intact. The CCI indicator has once again dipped into oversold territory, which could provoke a new wave of upward movement. Nearest Support Levels:S1 – 1.1597 S2 – 1.1536 S3 – 1.1475 Nearest Resistance Levels:R1 – 1.1658 R2 – 1.1719 R3 – 1.1780 Trading Recommendations:The EUR/USD pair is attempting to resume an upward trend on the 4-hour timeframe, and on all higher timeframes, the bullish trend remains intact. The U.S. dollar continues to be heavily influenced by Donald Trump's policies, which show no sign of slowing. While the dollar has recently strengthened, the local reasons behind it remain, at best, ambiguous. The flat on the daily chart explains this indecision. When the price is below the moving average, minor short positions can be considered with targets at 1.1561 and 1.1536 on purely technical grounds. When the price is above the moving average, long positions remain relevant, with targets at 1.1841 and 1.1902, continuing the trend.

GBP/USD 5M Analysis On Tuesday, GBP/USD spent the entire day in a clear flat, which was visible on any timeframe. Unlike EUR/USD, which has been falling for two consecutive days, this behavior seemed logical, considering that there were no significant events or macroeconomic reports out of the UK or the U.S. on that day. From a technical standpoint, everything remains consistent as well. The pair initiated a new bullish trend structure, followed by a modest correction. At the time of writing, the price remains above the Senkou Span B line, which supports a continuation of the bullish sentiment. In our view, the rise of the British pound should resume regardless, as the global fundamental backdrop does not suggest a reversal. Today, the UK is set to release one of the most important reports of the week—consumer inflation data. It's difficult to predict how the market will react, given that inflation in the UK is already well above the target level. A further rise in inflation would likely eliminate any possibility of the Bank of England easing monetary policy through the end of the year, which could support the pound. On the 5-minute chart, trading signals were irrelevant on Tuesday. The pair moved in a narrow sideways channel between the Senkou Span B and Kijun-sen lines, with the levels 1.3369 and 1.3377 squeezed in between. As soon as the price moved away from one level, it immediately collided with another, leaving no room for clean entries. COT Report COT data for the British pound shows that the sentiment among commercial traders has been constantly changing in recent years. The red and blue lines, which display the net positions of commercial and non-commercial traders, frequently intersect and mostly hover near the zero line. Currently, they are close to equal, reflecting a balanced number of long and short positions. The U.S. dollar continues to weaken due to Donald Trump's policies, so demand for the British pound among market makers is not currently a major factor driving the market. The trade war is expected to continue in one form or another for an extended period. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates further in the coming year. Dollar demand is likely to keep decreasing as a result. According to the latest report on the pound, the "Non-commercial" group opened 3,700 long contracts and closed 900 short ones, increasing their net long position by 4,600 contracts for the week. In 2025, the pound has posted significant gains—entirely due to Trump's economic and trade policies. Once that influence fades, a dollar rebound may begin, but no one knows precisely when that might happen. It no longer matters how quickly net positions for the pound are rising or falling—what matters is that net dollar positioning continues to decline, often at a faster rate. GBP/USD 1H Analysis On the hourly chart, GBP/USD has finally ended its downtrend and started a new upward cycle. The U.S. dollar still lacks any meaningful global support for strengthening, so we expect the pair to continue growing toward its 2025 highs under most scenarios. The only issue remains the long-running flat trend still visible on the daily chart. However, it's already clear that Trump's trade war is escalating again, market tensions are rising, and the Fed remains firmly in easing mode—a toxic combination for the USD. For October 22, the following key levels are noted for trading: 1.3125, 1.3212, 1.3307, 1.3369–1.3377, 1.3420, 1.3533–1.3548, 1.3584, 1.3681, 1.3763, 1.3833, 1.3886. The Senkou Span B line (1.3368) and the Kijun-sen line (1.3404) can also generate signals during the day. It is recommended to move the Stop Loss to breakeven once the price moves 20 pips in the correct direction. Ichimoku lines may shift throughout the day, so they should be monitored in real time for accurate signal confirmation. On Wednesday, the UK will publish one of this week's few key macroeconomic reports—inflation data—which could stir a significant market reaction. The U.S. calendar again remains empty. Trading Recommendations: Today, traders may initiate trades from the 1.3369–1.3377 area or from the Senkou Span B line. The British pound has started an upward trend, so we expect that momentum to continue in the near term with targets at 1.3533–1.3548. A consolidation below the Senkou Span B line could open the way for small, short-term short positions.Explanation of Chart Elements:Support and resistance levels – thick red lines where price movement may pause or reverse; not direct trade signalsKijun-sen and Senkou Span B – Ichimoku indicator lines transferred from the 4H to the 1H timeframe; they are considered strong levelsExtremes – thin red lines where price has previously reversed; they may act as trade triggersYellow lines – trendlines, channels, or other technical formationsCOT Indicator 1 – net position size of each trader categoryThe material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

EUR/USD 5M Analysis On Tuesday, EUR/USD once again traded with low volatility, though the movement was clearly downward—continuing the pattern seen on Monday. As a result, the beginning of the new week continues to favor the U.S. dollar. As for the reasons behind this move, are they still relevant? For three weeks in a row, we've been repeating the same point: there are no valid reasons for the dollar's growth. Still, on the daily timeframe, the price remains within a flat structure, and within this range (spanning over 400 pips), movements can be entirely random—which is precisely what we're witnessing. There were no significant events or data releases on Tuesday from either the Eurozone or the United States. Not even Donald Trump made any notable comments. Thus, the market had nothing to react to, and yet once again the U.S. dollar strengthened "out of nowhere." At this point, the 1.1604–1.1615 area is offering some support to the euro, but that's not the crucial issue. What truly matters is how easily and effortlessly the price passes through Ichimoku indicator lines, which, in our view, makes the daily timeframe the most relevant for analysis at the moment. On the 5-minute chart, the intraday movements can be clearly observed. The pair descended from the 1.1657–1.1666 area, smoothly passed through the Senkou Span B and Kijun-sen lines, and paused near 1.1604–1.1615. There were no viable entry points, as the price encountered new levels and lines every 10 to 15 pips, leaving no space for unconflicted positions. COT Report The latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report is dated September 23. No new data has been released since then due to the U.S. government shutdown. The chart above shows that non-commercial traders' net positions remained bullish for a long time. Bears briefly gained control in late 2024, but quickly lost it again. Since Trump returned to office for a second term, the dollar has been consistently losing value. While we can't say with certainty that this decline will continue, recent global developments suggest that the likely scenario is further U.S. dollar weakness. Once Trump's trade wars eventually conclude, a dollar rebound is possible. However, recent trends suggest that trade tensions will persist in some form. The potential loss of Federal Reserve independence is another major source of pressure on the greenback. The positioning of the red and blue lines on the indicator still suggests a persistent bullish sentiment. During the last reporting week, the number of long positions among non-commercial traders declined by 800 contracts, while shorts increased by 2,600, leading to a net reduction of 3,400 contracts. However, this data is now outdated and largely irrelevant. EUR/USD 1H Analysis On the hourly timeframe, EUR/USD may have ended its bearish trend two weeks ago. Still, the euro has been falling confidently in recent days—a move that's increasingly difficult to explain without venturing into science fiction. We believe the underlying cause of these illogical movements is the flat range on the daily timeframe. If the 1.1604–1.1615 area is breached, the decline is likely to continue regardless of fundamental justification. For October 22, the following levels are relevant for trading: 1.1234, 1.1274, 1.1362, 1.1426, 1.1534, 1.1604–1.1615, 1.1657–1.1666, 1.1750–1.1760, 1.1846–1.1857, 1.1922, 1.1971–1.1988, as well as the Senkou Span B line at 1.1651 and the Kijun-sen line at 1.1667. Note: the lines of the Ichimoku indicator may shift throughout the day, and this should be accounted for when identifying signals. Also, when the price moves 15 pips in the intended direction, set the Stop Loss to breakeven. This will protect against losses from false breakouts. On Wednesday, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde will speak once again in the Eurozone. However, she has spoken at least ten times over the last few weeks, and none of those appearances provided the market with meaningful information. In the U.S., the economic calendar is empty once again. Trading Recommendations: On Wednesday, traders may look to trade from the 1.1604–1.1615 area. To open long positions targeting 1.1651, wait for a clear rebound from this area. Short positions may be considered if the price consolidates below 1.1604–1.1615, with a bearish target at 1.1534.

Boa noite, traders e membros do ExpertFX. Assistimos hoje a uma queda abrupta e violenta (Short Squeeze) no preço do ouro (XAU/USD) em mais de $300 e da prata (XAG/USD) em $4, em total contraste com um cenário fundamentalista que grita por valorização: dívida dos EUA em $38T, governo fechado (shutdown), tensões geopolíticas e, crucialmente, uma escassez física gritante de metais preciosos confirmada (LBMA e varejo chinês). Por Igor Pereira, Analista de Mercado Financeiro, Membro Junior WallStreet NYSE Para o investidor comum, essa ação de preço é ilógica. Para nós, que operamos com a lente de Wyckoff, é a manualização perfeita de uma liquidez short squeeze que nós vinha comentando aqui na ExpertFX. A narrativa de de ruídos "melhor vender seu ouro e prata físico e manter fiduciários" é uma armadilha. É fundamental ressaltar que movimentos tão bruscos, na faixa de 4% a 6% em um dia para o ouro e a prata, são eventos raríssimos. Desde 1971, ocorreram apenas 13 vezes. Isso reforça a natureza extraordinária do "shakeout" atual. Vamos mergulhar no gráfico e decodificar o que realmente está acontecendo. Análise Wyckoff Detalhada do Gráfico XAU/USD (1h) Observando o gráfico de 1 hora, podemos identificar as seguintes fases e eventos: 1. Contexto Pré-Queda: Um CLÍMAX e Distribuição Sutil UTAD (UpThrust After Distribution): Vemos um UTAD claro no topo do range, indicando que os "Smart Money" (dinheiro inteligente) estavam vendendo para a euforia dos compradores atrasados. Linha de Tendência Quebrada e SOW (Sign of Weakness): A quebra da linha de tendência ascendente, seguida de um SOW (Sign of Weakness), sinalizou que a demanda estava diminuindo e a oferta estava começando a dominar. O mercado já estava em uma fase de distribuição de curto prazo, preparando o terreno para a queda. ChoCH (Change of Character): A primeira grande barra de venda, que quebrou a estrutura ascendente, foi um ChoCH, indicando uma mudança clara no comportamento do mercado de alta para baixa. 2. A Queda Violenta: O "Shakeout" Perfeito Movimento "ABCD" em Direção à Liquidez: A queda violenta de mais de $200 não é aleatória. Ela segue um padrão de venda forte que mira níveis de liquidez abaixo, atingindo stops e forçando a venda por pânico. O padrão "ABCD" marcado no gráfico sugere um movimento de correção direcionado. Alcançando o "Shakeout?": A flecha roxa apontando para "shakeout?" é perfeitamente descritiva. Essa queda brutal, em meio a notícias fundamentalmente bullish para o ouro e a prata, é o manual do "shakeout" (sacudida). Propósito: O "Smart Money" usa notícias e o momentum de venda para: Assustar: Fazer com que investidores do varejo, que não entendem a profundidade dos fundamentos, vendam suas posições por medo de mais perdas. Pegar Stops: Acionar stops de compra e liquidações forçadas, adicionando combustível à queda. Coletar: Acumular metal físico a preços mais baixos, enquanto os fundamentos de escassez (LBMA, China) permanecem inalterados ou pioram. 3. Níveis Críticos para Observar (Segundo o Gráfico): Neckline 4181.77: Este é um nível crucial. A quebra e teste dele foi um "breakdown" inicial. Suporte Major em 4051.57 (e abaixo): O gráfico aponta para uma zona de suporte em torno de 4051.57, e as zonas de demanda DEMAND M30 abaixo (4019.45 e 3995.74), aproximando-se da linha mediana. Se a queda for contida acima de 4000-4055 (como na nossa análise técnica anterior), podemos ver uma retomada. Linha de Tendência Inferior (Suporte Dinâmico): A linha de tendência ascendente azul que se estende desde o fundo da acumulação anterior, passando pela zona de 3952.70 (BREAKOUT... REJEIÇÃO), servirá como um suporte dinâmico crucial. O mercado provavelmente está buscando testar essa região. Atenção ao Nível de $4051: Uma quebra e fechamento significativo (H4 e D1) abaixo do shakeout em $4051,57 invalidaria o cenário de "sacudida" imediata. Nesse caso, o próximo suporte confiável seria em $3864. Fora dessa faixa, não existem suportes sólidos para conter uma queda maior. Conclusão de Igor Pereira Esta queda de $200 no ouro e $4 na prata, em face de um cenário fundamentalista incrivelmente bullish (dívida recorde, governo fechado, tensões geopolíticas, e escassez física confirmada pela LBMA e varejo chinês), não é um sinal de fraqueza intrínseca dos metais preciosos. É, na verdade, uma clássica operação de "shakeout" no Short Squeeze. O "Smart Money" está usando a volatilidade e o pânico para sacudir os detentores fracos e acumular mais metal físico a preços descontados, antes da próxima distribuição. Atenção aos Níveis: Monitorem de perto os níveis de suporte em 4051.57 e especialmente a zona de 4000-4055. Uma rejeição vigorosa nessas áreas, seguida de um volume significativo, indicará que a fase de "sacudida" está terminando e a acumulação para a próxima alta está em andamento. Lembrem-se: uma quebra H4/D1 abaixo de $4051 nos leva a $3864, sem suportes sólidos abaixo até a zona de $3500/oz.

The concept of a price battleground in Bitcoin markets refers to a critical price range where the forces of buying and selling pressure are in a fierce and decisive contest. This is where the outcome is expected to determine BTC’s overall direction and confirm a continuation of a bull market or bear market correction. Why This Zone Will Define Bitcoin’s Next Expansion Phase In an X post, an institutional-grade reporter, Bitcoin Vector, has highlighted that BTC has entered its decisive battleground between $110,000 and $115,000, which could determine the trajectory of the entire cycle. In the past week, spot demand, which is the engine of sustained rallies, was notably weak and capped by the escalating US-China trade tensions. As those tensions eased, that spot demand showed signs of returning, allowing BTC to claw its way back above the critical $110,000 level. Despite recovery back into the battleground, momentum remains negative and flat. Without sustained inflow and spot demand, the bullish structure could fade fast, leaving BTC exposed to another pullback. However, if demand holds and momentum turns up, BTC advances deeper into the battleground. A failure to maintain this range and BTC may risk retreating again and raising the white flag. A full-time crypto trader, Sykodelic, has also offered a highly optimistic prediction that Bitcoin will be back to an All-Time High (ATH) by the end of the month. The market is still in uncertainty and fear, where BTC thrives for its next leg higher. This is the stage of the cycle where disbelief dominates. As a result, traders convince themselves the rally is over, and that’s when BTC starts to move again. By the time BTC approaches its previous highs, traders will finally believe again, which often happens when another long flush clears out late entrants. Technically, BTC price is moving back above the 4-hour 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). Each time, Bitcoin successfully retests this level as support, the price continues to expand higher. “I think the worst is behind us,” Sykodelic noted. The Supply Battle That Shapes The Next Cycle The current Bitcoin market is in a supply tug-of-war between two powerful forces. According to the ambassador of MGBX_EN, BitBull, long-term holders (LTHs) have been constantly offloading their coins, while institutions are aggressively absorbing the supply through Spot ETFs and Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs). Meanwhile, the treasury holdings have quietly surpassed $120 billion, with BTC still dominating the stack. Spot ETFs alone have absorbed tens of thousands of coins this quarter, proving that institutional demand remains strong. However, LTHs are still selling faster than ETFs, and DATs can absorb. Historically, when this kind of accelerated LTH distribution occurs, BTC tends to lose short-term momentum. This is not a bearish setup, but it does imply that the upside remains temporarily capped until the selling pressure fades. Thus, institutions are buying the strength, not the bottoms. Ultimately, the next major breakout hinges on when long-term holders stop distributing and return to accumulation mode.

A pro-XRP software developer sparked fresh debate this week by saying it takes “serious conviction” to hold volatile coins like XRP through long, wild swings. Vincent Van Code said holding XRP all the way to $1,000 — let alone $10,000 — would take “mental illness.” His comments have drawn attention not just for the blunt wording but for the story they tell about the human side of crypto risk. Holder Psychology Under Stress According to Van Code, the real test begins long before a coin hits big numbers. He pointed to Bitcoin as an example: Bitcoin traded under $1 in 2010 and now sits above $110,000. Many claim they would have held from those early days, but Van Code argued most people would have sold around $100. Reports have also noted whales who were inactive for more than a decade recently moving coins bought for under $1,000 and cashing out millions or billions. The famous case of the French buyer who spent 10,000 BTC on pizza remains a blunt reminder that people do sell, sometimes at huge regret. XRP Near Key Demand Zone Technical calls are mixed. Ether Nasyonal, a crypto analyst, told followers that XRP is “cooking something” on the 1-month chart and highlighted an important demand zone. Following the sharp drop and quick bounce on Oct. 10, XRP failed to break past $2.5 and is still short of the $3 level. The token is down 14% this month. Past movements add weight to caution: XRP plunged more than 90% after peaking above $3 back in 2018, a crash that punished holders who sold in panic and then watched prices recover later. Personal Stories And Public Bets Some holders frame their approach as a long-term plan. One user, TheXFactor33, said he has held XRP for over eight years and has weathered multiple crashes. Van Code has said he mentally removed the money from his balance sheet and intends not to sell even if prices head far higher. He told followers his aim is to convert the stake into something concrete for his family, such as buying a home for his children. Long-Term Bets Face Real Tests Views on how high XRP could go differ widely. Some analysts project a bullish scenario that sees XRP at $1,000 by 2040, a forecast that would require years of patience — roughly a 15-year hold from today’s levels under $3 — and a lot of market resilience. Meanwhile, a good number of investors say they would cash gains early to pay for cars, houses, or other goals, making multiyear holds rare. Surviving repeated crashes and strong rallies takes more than luck; it takes steady nerves and a plan. Featured image from Gemini, chart from TradingView

In recent analyses, I've repeatedly mentioned that the market's main challenge right now is uncertainty. Both major instruments—EUR/USD and GBP/USD—have been trading within relatively narrow ranges for several months now. It feels as if the market is frozen, not in anticipation of a holiday miracle, but simply awaiting data and facts. What have we learned during the first two days of this week? Virtually nothing. Negotiations between China and the United States seem to be ongoing, but could collapse at any moment. Donald Trump continues to make new demands, and China's patience is not unlimited. On Monday, Trump demanded that China resume soybean purchases. Previously, he had threatened to ban the purchase of soybean oil. One of the key sticking points remains China's new export restrictions on rare earth minerals. In short, there are many "sharp edges" between the two powers, and there's no guarantee they'll reach the long-awaited agreement. As for the next Federal Reserve meeting, things appear straightforward on the surface—but a "surprise" could still catch traders off guard. The market's currently dovish expectations rest almost entirely on the perceived weakness in the U.S. labor market. Market participants are not only expecting an interest rate cut in October but also in December and January. In essence, medium-term dovish expectations have formed without any real economic data. But what if the U.S. labor market is already recovering and that recovery is simply going unreported due to the government shutdown? It's very possible that the FOMC might lower rates again in October, but then pause in December. It seems we understand the labor market situation—but if it was experiencing a slowdown this summer, that doesn't guarantee it is still slowing this fall. So drawing any definitive conclusions about the health of the labor market would be premature. Based on all of the above, the market is standing still, waiting for concrete developments. These could come in the form of long-delayed U.S. data releases, direct statements from Jerome Powell, or a final outcome in the China–Trump negotiations. However, in my view, such clarity may remain scarce through the end of the year. The "clash of titans" will likely continue. Trump will keep imposing tariffs on new sectors and countries. Pressure on the Fed will resume the moment interest rate cuts stop. And the shutdown could very well break a new record in duration, despite forecasts to the contrary. Until these issues are resolved, we will likely continue to observe sluggish, directionless price movement. Wave Pattern for EUR/USD:Based on my current analysis, EUR/USD is still developing an upward wave segment. The wave structure continues to depend entirely on current news—especially Trump's actions and both domestic and foreign policy developments out of the White House. The current wave may extend to the 1.25 zone. Currently, we appear to be completing corrective wave 4, which has taken on a complex and drawn-out form. Therefore, I continue to expect only purchasing opportunities in the near term. By year-end, I anticipate that the euro will rise toward the 1.2245 level, which corresponds to the 200.0% Fibonacci. Wave Pattern for GBP/USD:GBP/USD's wave picture has evolved. We remain within the bounds of a bullish impulsive segment, but the internal structure is becoming more complicated. Wave 4 has formed into a three-wave correction, which is significantly more extended than wave 2. The latest three-wave downward correction appears to have ended. If this assumption proves accurate, the pair's growth may continue in alignment with the broader wave structure. The initial targets of this potential bullish extension lie near the 1.38 and 1.40 zones. Key Principles of My Analysis:Wave structures should be simple and clear. Complex formations are difficult to trade and often require adjustment.If you're uncertain about what's happening in the market, it's better to stay out.Absolute certainty in market direction does not exist. Always use stop-loss orders to protect capital.Wave analysis can and should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis and trading strategies.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

The euro-dollar pair is once again approaching the lower boundary of the broad price range between 1.1560 and 1.1730, where it has traded for three consecutive weeks. This lower bound coincides with the bottom line of the Bollinger Bands indicator on the daily chart, while the upper boundary aligns with the Kijun-sen line on the same timeframe. On one hand, the bearish momentum appears convincing: the pair has been falling almost uninterrupted since Friday, with three straight sessions of decline. On the other hand, the market has seen similarly sharp price moves in both directions over the past two weeks, only for them to be quickly erased. Last Friday, EUR/USD closed at 1.1653. The Friday before that, it ended at 1.1622. Such price behavior suggests that it is far too early to declare the start of a new bearish trend, despite the pair's recent softness. Notably, the dollar's strength continues to grow, even amid rising dovish expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's future policy moves. Market participants are now highly confident that the Fed will cut rates twice before the end of the year—once at the October meeting and again in December, for a total of 50 basis points. This scenario is currently priced in with over 90% probability, according to a recent Reuters poll. Out of 117 economists surveyed, 115 expect a 25-point cut in October, and 83 foresee another in December. In addition, CME's FedWatch tool shows that the probability of another cut in January has risen to 54%. These dovish expectations are grounded in recent Fed commentary: Fed Chair Jerome Powell and other officials (including Christopher Waller, Stephen Miran, and Michelle Bowman) emphasized concerns about labor market softness, de-emphasizing inflation concerns. Due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, the September Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report has not been released, so markets are relying on the ADP jobs report, which showed a decline of 30,000 in private-sector employment. Likewise, inflation data has been withheld—except for one key report: the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September, scheduled for release Friday (October 24). If the CPI misses expectations (lands in the "red zone"), markets will become even more certain that the Fed will cut rates by 75 basis points over the next four months. So why is the U.S. dollar rallying under such an aggressively dovish macro backdrop? The answer lies in two words: Trump and China. Last week saw yet another escalation in the ongoing trade conflict between the U.S. and China. President Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese exports in response to Beijing's newly announced export restrictions. Both countries imposed additional port fees and exchanged increasingly hawkish rhetoric, marking a clear return to confrontation. However, this initial pressure on the dollar quickly reversed when Trump abruptly changed his tone—this change acted like a spring uncoiling. The president expressed optimism about reaching a deal, praising China's "respectful" behavior and emphasizing the "massive" tariff revenue. He also stated that he intends to meet President Xi Jinping at the upcoming APEC summit in South Korea and may follow with a visit to China. In other words, Trump once again shifted from confrontation to conciliation, reviving hopes for a deal—and that was all the dollar needed to regain strength. But can this dollar rally be trusted under current conditions? Arguably not. The Dollar Index (DXY) is rising on shaky ground. After all, reaching a trade deal requires more than Trump's goodwill—it also takes commitment on China's side. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. So far, this is a one-sided political performance, with Beijing merely confirming its willingness to talk—no concrete actions yet. It's also important to note that this time, it was China that initiated the latest controversy by imposing large-scale export restrictions on rare earth metals—key inputs in high-tech manufacturing. Given that China holds 90% of global rare earth reserves and dominates their extraction and processing, it's uncertain whether Beijing will accept a compromise in exchange for the repeal of tariffs that haven't even come into effect yet. Taken together, these conditions suggest that the current downward momentum in EUR/USD rests on a fragile foundation. From a technical standpoint, two major signals imply caution: The pair is nearing the lower boundary of the broad 1.1560–1.1730 price channel.The current decline lacks meaningful fundamental backing, as it is driven more by market optimism dependent on diplomacy rather than firm policy shifts or confirmed economic developments.If the southern impulse fades within this range, long positions may once again become relevant.

Making a 6% weekly uptick, FLOKI recently ripped higher after Elon Musk posted an AI-generated video of his Shiba Inu “Floki” sitting at a CEO desk, reigniting meme-coin risk appetite even as the broader crypto market slipped 3%. Within hours, FLOKI’s price jumped nearly 30% and 24-hour volume exploded 780–817% to roughly $656–$662 million, lifting the token to an intraday high near $0.000088, its best level in almost two weeks. Related Reading: All It Took Was A Tweet: FLOKI Jumps 27% After Musk Mentions It Mentions across X, Reddit, and Telegram climbed 65%, while crypto’s Fear & Greed Index nudged from Fear (37) to Neutral (52), signaling fresh retail participation. Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) logged modest gains, but FLOKI led meme coins by a wide margin. Breakout Case vs. Bull-Trap Warnings Technicians say FLOKI is retesting a pivotal demand band around $0.00008. A daily close and hold above $0.000075 keeps the breakout thesis alive toward $0.00009, with $0.00010 on the table if momentum and volumes persist. Open Interest surged 162% to about $37.5 million, and long-side liquidations wiped out $275K in shorts during the squeeze. On Binance, negative funding suggests crowded shorts paying to stay positioned, fuel for further upside if price grinds higher. Still, some analysts flag bull-trap risk. The RSI tipped into overbought (>70) during the spike, a zone that historically invites cooling moves; a quick reset back into the 50–70 band would be a healthier springboard. Liquidity “heatmaps” show dense clusters both above and below spot, implying two-way volatility as the price hunts orders before choosing direction. If FLOKI fails to reclaim/hold $0.00009, technicians eye pullbacks toward $0.000072, with a deeper bear case pointing to $0.00004 if risk aversion returns. Key FLOKI Levels as the Market Slips 3% Currently, FLOKI hovers around $0.0000737, down 12% on the day, mirroring the broader market downturnwith Bitcoin near $107,000 and Ethereum around $3,800. In the near term, traders are watching key technical levels that could dictate FLOKI’s next move. Immediate support sits between $0.000072 and $0.000070, with a deeper downside risk toward $0.00004 if momentum fails to hold. Related Reading: CryptoQuant’s Moreno Eyes Bitcoin At $195,000 If This Happens The $0.000080 level acts as the crucial pivot point, a decisive close above it would strengthen the bullish trend and open the path toward higher targets. On the upside, resistance lies at $0.00009, followed by $0.00011 if buying volume expands. With liquidity thin and sentiment still fragile after recent liquidations, celebrity-driven spikes can overextend quickly. However, if flows remain constructive, negative funding persists, open interest stays elevated, and spot demand confirms, FLOKI’s rally could reignite, potentially surpassing the psychological $0.00009 level.

It is no secret that several critical factors drove the recent rally in gold prices. The gradual removal of these conditions could trigger a significant price decline. Gold's upward movement has been supported by rising geopolitical tensions globally, particularly in the Middle East and in Europe, amid the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. This has been accompanied by a shift in U.S. foreign and trade policy aimed at reinforcing its global dominance through trade and tariff conflicts, which diminished the appeal of the dollar as a reserve and safe-haven currency. Additionally, the Federal Reserve's return to cutting interest rates made U.S. government bonds less attractive by comparison, increasing demand for non-yielding assets like gold. More recently, signs of stabilization have emerged. The United States has managed—at least for now—to de-escalate tensions in the Israel–Palestine conflict. Dialogues between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin have resumed. These developments have shifted the broader geopolitical landscape, dampening safe-haven demand and halting gold's surge. Markets understand that price growth driven by fear and uncertainty cannot be sustained indefinitely. As diplomatic relations begin to normalize, risk appetite is likely to recover, causing capital to flow back into riskier assets. This transition reduces the relative attractiveness of defensive assets like gold, increasing the likelihood of a correction or consolidation. Although prices have shown extreme highs in recent months, the possibility of a decline or sideways range is growing. However, the exact timing of this shift remains uncertain, and as long as ambiguity persists around geopolitical issues, residual upward momentum in gold may intermittently return. Looking at the market landscape, activity is expected to be subdued. Investors await U.S. consumer inflation data, scheduled for release later in the week, which may provide clarity on future Federal Reserve policy moves. Additionally, attention is focused on the renewed diplomatic negotiations between Russia and the United States concerning the Ukraine crisis. Market participants are likely to remain cautious, holding positions within previously established ranges until these narratives unfold. Forecast for the DayIn gold, prices remain below the resistance level of 4,273.60. The continued easing of geopolitical tension could weaken demand for gold, pushing prices down to the support level at 4,185.40. The level at 4,237.17 may serve as a technical entry point for short positions. Silver is trading below its current resistance at 50.40. A further decline may lead to a correction toward 48.45, with 46.65 acting as a viable level for initiating sell trades. The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

In financial markets, everything is accounted for—even when data is scarce, investors turn to leading corporate earnings as signals. In this context, the optimistic outlooks shared by General Electric, Philip Morris, and Coca-Cola speak louder than recent U.S. labor market concerns. For these manufacturers, the glass is half full, casting doubt on the likelihood of aggressive Fed rate cuts and lending support to EUR/USD bears. Many are citing France's S&P Global rating downgrade and the looming budget battle between Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu and the French parliament as the primary reasons for the euro's weakness. However, the CAC 40 index reaching a record high and stable spreads between French and German government bond yields suggest that political risk has already been factored into asset prices. CAC 40 Performance vs. Rating Downgrade The prospect of a downgrade by S&P Global had been widely discussed in advance, as had the upcoming Moody's review scheduled for October 24. In theory, downgrades should trigger forced selling by investment funds with strict mandates. In reality, many of these funds are waiving those restrictions to hold onto assets they still deem valuable. The weakness in the euro is clearly being driven by factors extraneous to French domestic politics. Indeed, Lecornu's initial proposal to reduce the fiscal deficit from 5.4% of GDP to 4.7% may struggle to gain traction in parliament. However, the prime minister retains some flexibility—he has previously suggested a figure slightly below 5%, while S&P Global referenced 5.3%. That level could gain cross-party approval among both left- and right-wing lawmakers. The real bearish momentum in EUR/USD is being fueled by strong Q3 earnings from U.S. corporations and fading hopes for peace in Ukraine. A statement from Donald Trump regarding a potential meeting with the Russian president in Hungary briefly boosted the euro amid speculation over a peace deal. Trump voiced strong intentions to pursue a resolution, but Moscow responded with a clear signal that it is not ready to negotiate an end to the conflict. Had peace talks shown real promise, a reduction in geopolitical risk would have supported eurozone currencies. Dynamics of France's credit ratings The Kremlin demands territorial concessions it cannot currently capture, while Kyiv appears willing to freeze the conflict along the current front lines. The gulf between both parties remains vast, so a breakthrough at a Trump–Russia summit seems unlikely. The euro remains under pressure, while upbeat U.S. corporate earnings embolden EUR/USD bears. Technically, the daily EUR/USD chart shows a rejection from dynamic resistance levels represented by key moving averages. This increases the likelihood of a corrective phase forming against the prevailing long-term bullish trend. Short positions initiated from the 1.1640 region are justified and might be strengthened if support at 1.1600 is broken. The material has been provided by InstaForex Company - www.instaforex.com

The past week brought a wealth of macroeconomic data from the United Kingdom, which, at first glance, seemed supportive of a renewed rally in the pound. The labor market report revealed some signs of weakness, particularly a slower pace of job creation compared to the previous month. However, the fact that wage growth remains stubbornly high is a strong inflationary factor. Elevated inflation, in turn, signals that the Bank of England will not be in a hurry to cut interest rates, allowing UK yields to remain relatively attractive. August GDP figures met expectations, and industrial production outperformed forecasts. Still, the third quarter outlook from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) remains weak, with only modest GDP growth of 0.3% expected. On Tuesday, the UK's consumer inflation report for September will be released. Last month, NIESR noted a very high probability that inflation would remain above 3% for the next 12 months. Current projections anticipate that core inflation will rise from 3.6% to 3.7% year-over-year, and headline inflation from 3.8% to 4.0%. In the past, such expectations alone would have been enough to support sterling strength, but broader market dynamics have shifted. Other global factors now suggest that the U.S. dollar is poised for renewed appreciation, and the pound is likely to weaken in line with broader risk sentiment. Another underappreciated but significant pressure point for the pound lies in the UK bond market. While the yield on 10-year Gilts stands around 4.5%, a large portion of that yield reflects the "term premium"—the additional return investors demand for holding long-term debt, which is directly linked to fiscal sustainability risks. With UK public debt hovering near 100% of GDP and interest payments totaling approximately £90 billion per year, public finances are under clear strain. Under current inflation expectations, the government would need to find an additional 2% of GDP just to stabilize debt levels, according to NIESR. With a budget deficit of about 5% of GDP and weak economic growth, this appears nearly unachievable—driving risk premia even higher. As a result, the pound is under significant, albeit less obvious, pressure, and demand for sterling is unlikely to grow meaningfully until a clear economic strategy emerges. That clarity depends on a marked improvement in economic activity—something that is improbable at current interest rate levels. Yet, lowering interest rates is off the table as long as inflation expectations remain high. This self-reinforcing dynamic severely limits foreign investment inflows, so demand for the pound, even amid higher interest rates, is likely to remain weak. The fair value estimate for GBP is now trending downward away from its long-term average. Last week, we identified the 1.3140 level as key short-term support, and that target remains valid. The corrective rebound seen in recent days has been shallow and unconvincing. We expect another wave of downward momentum. More clarity will come following the release of the UK and U.S. inflation reports. Until then, the outlook for the pound remains constrained by fiscal concerns, limited growth potential, and deteriorating sentiment.

British Columbia has officially decided to slam the door on new crypto mining projects looking to tap into the province’s power supply. The permanent ban means no new mining operations will be allowed to connect to the public electricity grid. The government says this is about protecting the province’s energy for industries that actually contribute jobs and long-term revenue. Power utility BC Hydro, which delivers electricity to most of the region, is now off-limits for future miners. This decision follows a moratorium that was first put in place back in 2022 and later extended in 2024. Now, the temporary freeze has become permanent. Lawmakers are making it clear that energy-hungry mining operations are no longer part of the province’s future vision. Who Gets the Power Now? Not the Miners Instead of supporting crypto miners, British Columbia is turning its attention to sectors it believes have a stronger economic impact. That includes traditional industries like natural gas and mining, as well as newer ones like liquefied natural gas and data centres. The government sees these as more dependable sources of jobs and growth. Source: Shutterstock Starting in 2026, even AI firms and data centres will face electricity caps. The province wants to ensure there’s enough clean energy to go around without letting any single industry soak it all up. Premier David Eby and Energy Minister Adrian Dix both backed the shift, pointing to big projects like the North Coast Transmission Line as part of a long-term plan to keep the grid stable and future-ready. DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in October2025 Why Crypto Mining Got Singled Out Crypto mining has been under scrutiny for a while due to its massive electricity demands and limited local economic returns. These operations often set up shop, plug into the grid, and burn through energy without adding much in the way of jobs or taxes. The new law is meant to keep those kinds of setups from piling pressure on the system. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Charlotte Mitha, who leads BC Hydro, said demand across the board is rising fast. That includes both legacy industries and newer tech-driven sectors. Given that reality, she said new rules are needed to keep power rates manageable and supply secure for everyone else. DISCOVER: Next 1000X Crypto: 10+ Crypto Tokens That Can Hit 1000x in 2025 What Happens to the Miners Already There? If you’re already running a mining operation in British Columbia, you’re not being cut off overnight. Companies that are already connected to the grid under valid agreements can keep going. But any hopes of scaling up or starting fresh are now blocked by law. That may push some miners to relocate or rethink their strategies. This decision may ripple beyond the province. Other regions are watching closely and could take similar steps if they see this as a way to manage power responsibly while keeping high-consumption industries in check. Drawing the Line Between Speculation and Stability British Columbia seems to be making a statement about where it wants to go. Clean electricity is a limited resource, and the province has decided it should be spent on sectors that deliver solid, predictable returns. New crypto mining operations didn’t make the cut. With this new policy, the government is choosing to back industries that offer tangible local benefits instead of speculative ventures that leave little behind. As the new rules take hold, the global energy and tech landscape may begin to shift in response. This isn’t just about crypto anymore; it’s about how we decide to power the future. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates Key Takeaways British Columbia has made its crypto mining ban permanent, blocking new operations from accessing the public power grid. The province is prioritizing industries like LNG, natural gas, and data centres that offer more stable jobs and revenue. Crypto mining was singled out due to high electricity use and minimal economic benefit for local communities. Existing crypto miners can continue operating if already connected, but expansion is now off the table. This move may influence other regions to restrict high-consumption industries as power demands increase.

Europol has joined forces with law enforcement in Latvia and other European countries to dismantle a massive cyber-fraud network that had been operating out of Latvia. The takedown led to the seizure of around $330,000 in cryptocurrency from the suspects. Authorities also froze roughly $500,000 across various bank accounts linked to the operation. The raid happened around October 10, 2025, and resulted in the arrest of seven people connected to the group. What investigators uncovered was a full-blown fraud-as-a-service operation that leveraged telecom tech to carry out thousands of scams across Europe. Inside the Network: SIM Boxes and Fake Accounts The group’s entire setup revolved around SIM-box devices, which are pieces of hardware that hold dozens of SIM cards at once. This allows criminals to mask who they are and where they’re operating from. Investigators discovered an estimated 1,200 SIM boxes and around 40,000 active SIM cards in use. With those tools, the network managed to create more than 49 million fake online accounts. These accounts used phone numbers from over 80 countries and were linked to a wide range of scams, including phishing, smishing, fraudulent investment schemes, and bogus marketplaces. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 The Cost of Chaos: Millions Lost Across Borders The financial toll has been severe. Austria reported total losses of more than $5.2 million as a result of scams tied to this group. Latvia, where the ring was headquartered, saw damages reaching about €420,000, which works out to roughly $460,000. And that’s just what has been uncovered so far. Investigations are still ongoing to track the full extent of the damage and locate additional victims. Europol didn’t hold back in describing the scale of the operation. The agency called it “technically highly sophisticated,” pointing out that it wasn’t limited to small-time cons. The network also supported extortion, migrant smuggling, and fraudulent banking and e-commerce platforms. When Crypto Meets Old-School Fraud The fact that the takedown involved both crypto and traditional bank seizures shows how organized crime is blending modern finance with old fraud tricks. As digital assets like crypto become more common in illicit operations, enforcement agencies are having to evolve quickly. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time What makes this case stand out is that authorities didn’t just go after the money. They went after the infrastructure that made the scams possible. That includes the SIM boxes, the cards, and the fake accounts that kept the whole system running. DISCOVER: Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 What Happens From Here This might only be the beginning. Authorities could uncover more crypto stashes, make additional arrests, and trace even more fake accounts as they dig deeper. People are now watching closely to see if the same infrastructure shows up in scams across other parts of Europe or even globally. Regulators and security experts will also be paying attention. The mix of telecom-based fraud tools and crypto is a new kind of threat, and it’s forcing everyone to rethink how these crimes are tackled. At the very least, this case sends a clear message. Whether it’s physical hardware or digital currency, if it enables large-scale fraud, it’s on the radar now.

This case highlights how crypto is increasingly blended with traditional fraud tactics, making operations harder to track and disrupt. Authorities seized both money and infrastructure, demonstrating a more aggressive approach to dismantling fraud networks at their core.

Kadena (KDA) Crypto just shocked the market and its investors by announcing that it is shutting down operations completely. In an official post on its X account, the team wrote, “Kadena organization is no longer able to continue business operations and will be ceasing all business activity and active maintenance of the Kadena blockchain immediately.” According to the post, all employees have already been notified, and only a small group will stay on to manage the transition and wind-down. In a strange twist, they even left an email open for people to vent their frustrations. The statement also added, “As for the KDA token and protocol, it will also continue in our absence, as noted in the latest token economic update.” Despite that reassurance, the token tanked more than 60%, crashing from a $120 million market cap to under $28 million. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time DISCOVER: 9+ Best Memecoin to Buy in 2025 Even though the team is stepping away, Kadena’s chain and token are fully decentralized, so the network itself will keep running without direct involvement from the organization. Was the Kadena (KDA) Crypto Account Actually Hacked? A lot of people bought the dip at first, thinking the X account was hacked, but the truth came out after the team confirmed on their Discord that the shutdown was official. Interestingly, Kadena was one of the projects backed by Binance Labs. It is also listed on Binance. During this chaos, the exchange handled over $24 million of the $70 million total trading volume. That means most of the selling pressure came from Binance users. Back in 2021, Kadena was one of the hottest projects in crypto, hitting a $3 billion market cap. Some even called it the “Solana killer.” Well, turns out it just killed itself instead. Some community members are still holding faith. They say the Kadena team did its job by delivering the tech and open-sourcing it, just like Bitcoin. They claim it is now in the hands of miners and truly decentralized. Sure, that part is true. Kadena is technically owned by its miners now, but let’s be real, it will never be another Bitcoin. This whole situation just shows how hard it really is to build something lasting in crypto. Even a project with solid tech and big backing like Kadena can end up fading out when the pressure hits.

The broader crypto market is currently navigating a phase of uncertainty, with concerns mounting over the possibility of a new bear market. A recent analysis by Barchart analyst Rob Isbitts highlights three significant signals suggesting that a deeper retreat in crypto prices may be on the horizon. Emerging Correlations Among Crypto Prices The report points to notable trends observed in April of last year, when a 50% increase followed the launch of several spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs_. Specifically, BlackRock’s IBIT fund which boasts over $85 billion in assets under management, subsequently experienced a decline of approximately 25%. A similar pattern was evident in the early months of this year, where fluctuations were mirrored in the market as increased outflows in these investment vehicles began to rise. Currently, the Percentage Price Oscillator (PPO)—a key indicator used by Isbitts—signals increasing chances of a decline in Bitcoin’s price as the weeks progress. Ethereum (ETH) appears to be following a comparable trajectory. Isbitts notes that while Bitcoin remains the leading cryptocurrency, the correlation among various coins is strengthening over time. This heightened correlation implies that Ethereum may also experience declines in tandem with Bitcoin. However, for cryptocurrencies that are further removed from the Bitcoin core, such as Solana (SOL), additional risks emerge. In these cases, not only does correlation impact prices, but a higher “beta” can lead to even steeper declines, reflecting increased volatility. For instance, when Bitcoin recently dropped about 15% from its peak, the futures -based Solana ETF (SOLZ), which has attracted over $220 million in assets in less than seven months, fell by double that percentage. Has Gold Regained Its Safe Haven Status Against Bitcoin? A common thread among the charts shared by Isbitts, is the recent formation of lower lows, indicating a pressing need for a rebound. If this does not occur soon, the expert highlights that the likelihood of further declines in crypto prices increases. The report also discusses a shift in the perception of gold, which has traditionally been viewed as an “anti-US dollar asset.” The expert asserts that as global central banks increase their gold reserves, the dynamics of the market may be changing. Recently, gold has exhibited price movements akin to those seen in cryptos, suggesting a potential resurgence in its role as a safe haven. This shift has impacted crypto stocks and ETFs, with certain funds showing signs of vulnerability as indicated by the PPO nearing a one-year high. A longer-term analysis of Bitcoin by Isbitts illustrates its inherent volatility, yet it has consistently managed to achieve higher highs over time. While this trend may continue, the current market conditions suggest that any future rallies are likely to start from lower price levels. As of this writing, however, Bitcoin, the market’s leading crypto, has regained the $112,900 mark, rising 3% in the last hour of Tuesday morning’s trading session.

The Dogecoin price may be preparing for a powerful breakout after a long period of sideways trading and consolidation. A recent market outlook suggests that DOGE is forming a bullish structure that could lead to a strong upward move. However, analysts warn that the best buying opportunities remain limited to specific lower price levels before the next major rally begins. Chart Pattern Signals Dogecoin Price Breakout Toward $0.5 Market analyst Elite Crypto noted in a recent post on X social media that the Dogecoin price appears to be forming a major breakout pattern, signaling a potential upward move ahead. The analyst’s chart shows a textbook Cup and Handle pattern, a formation that is typically associated with long-term bullish reversals. Dogecoin’s chart setup indicates that the meme coin has completed the “Cup” phase, where prices gradually curved upwards after a long period of accumulation. Now, price action is in the “handle” stage, which, upon completion, usually precedes a breakout to higher levels. In Elite Crypto’s chart, the cup’s base extends from early 2022 through 2024, with Dogecoin consolidating steadily before beginning a rebound into 2025. The market analyst has indicated that if history repeats, the DOGE price could experience a strong rally toward the $0.50 mark, a potential gain of over 160% from its current levels around $0.19. The chart also illustrates a crucial accumulation zone highlighted in green, where the price has been coiling. According to Elite Crypto, this range represents an ideal accumulation area before a larger move unfolds. He emphasized that any price action below the $0.155 level should be considered a solid buying opportunity for spot investors. Reversal Structure Confirms New DOGE Buying Zone In a separate X analysis, crypto market expert Vexe also pointed out a key buying zone for the Dogecoin price. He highlighted that DOGE has cleared all downside liquidity and is not holding firmly above its weekly support range. The analyst’s chart shows that the Dogecoin price action recently rebounded from a key demand area after testing lower levels. The price has stabilized near $0.20, suggesting that sellers may be exhausted, and a potential reversal is taking shape. The green shaded area on the chart highlights the reversal zone, which Vexe calls an ideal buying zone. His chart also features a descending trendline connecting multiple swing highs from the previous cycle. Dogecoin has already tested the resistance line and shows early signs of breaking out. Above the resistance line, Vexe projects a price target of $0.49, representing a potential upside of roughly 327.67% from the lower support zone. Notably, this $0.49 target would also reflect a 157% increase from DOGE’s price of $0.19. According to CoinMarketCap’s data, the meme coin is currently down by approximately 4% in just one day and 28% over the past month.

Somnia crypto aims to make blockchain data function like a live feed, rather than a slow database. The company introduced Data Streams, a new infrastructure layer, on Tuesday, which lets applications subscribe to on-chain state and receive live updates as transactions occur. But what does it mean for SOMI price prediction in Q4 2025? The feature, announced on October 21, is designed for developers working on fast-moving applications, such as trading, gaming, and prediction markets, areas where traditional RPC systems often struggle to keep up. A public waitlist opened the same day, with phased rollouts expected in the coming months. Today, most apps rely on indexers or APIs that constantly query the blockchain. Somnia’s approach flips that model. Instead of pulling data repeatedly, Data Streams will push updates directly to clients the moment state changes occur. The company says this can lower costs and simplify infrastructure for builders. What Is Somnia’s Data Streams and How Does It Work? The first rollout will introduce subscription-based RPCs, followed by what Somnia calls “full on-chain reactivity” early next year. In its technical documentation, Somnia claims its Layer-1 network offers sub-second finality and has achieved seven-figure transaction throughput in tests, setting the stage for real-time consumer use cases. Mainnet is already live, and the team describes Data Streams as the next step toward a faster, web2-like developer experience in Web3. Early marketing for Somnia’s new product focuses on simplicity. The product page says Data Streams “turns on-chain state into live application data,” offering straightforward APIs that let developers read, write, and subscribe to updates. The site invites builders to “join the waitlist” as public access rolls out. Somnia is also outlining where the tool could make a difference. In prediction markets, event feeds could adjust odds and settle results instantly. In insurance, payouts can be triggered automatically once verified data meets preset thresholds. These examples were included in the company’s launch materials, released on Tuesday. In a recent post on X, Somnia stated that Data Streams aims to “bring web2 database performance to web3” and to remove “delays and complexity” from blockchain app development. The message is consistent: Somnia wants developers to think of blockchain data as live, responsive, and easy to work with, not something trapped behind technical friction. DISCOVER: 15+ Upcoming Coinbase Listings to Watch in 2025 SOMI Price Prediction: Is SOMI/USDT Showing Signs of Accumulation After Weeks of Decline? Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time According to Tradingview, the SOMI/USDT 4-hour chart shows a bearish trend with slight accumulation traces remaining stretched. The decline of SOMI accelerated in early October, following a fall outside the range of $1.30 that it had left at the end of September, cutting across several areas of support. The fall reached its lowest point of approximately $0.40 on October 11, and following that, there was a temporary recovery, resulting in some sideways action between $0.50 and $0.54. The 50-period EMA is close to $0.54, whereas the 100-period EMA is close to $0.62. The price is also lower than that of both, which confirms that the sellers are still in control of the market. (Source: SOMI USDT, Tradingview) These levels have been responsive to resistance, and each recovery attempt has been rejected. For momentum to shift upward, SOMI would need to close and hold above the $0.55–$0.60 area, backed by rising volume and stronger buying pressure. A brief volume spike on October 3 signaled speculative entries, although sellers quickly regained control once the move faded. Technically, SOMI still sits near the end of a markdown cycle but may be preparing for early accumulation if buyers continue to defend current levels. A daily close above $0.55 could clear space for a move toward $0.62–$0.68. Failure to hold would likely send the price back to test support near $0.48–$0.50. At press time, SOMI trades at $0.523, up about +2% on the day. The pair remains locked in a narrow range, waiting for either side to break the stalemate. The next few sessions should indicate whether it can finally break out of this tight zone and establish a clear trend.

Log in to today's North American session Market wrap for October 21 US stock markets closed with mixed results on Tuesday, despite a flow of positive corporate earnings. The Dow Jones index finished with a gain, driven by solid earnings from industrial companies like General Motors, GE Aerospace, and 3M. However, the S&P 500 index ended the day mostly unchanged, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq closed slightly lower due to weakness in major growth and microchip stocks. General Motors GM.N lifted its forecast and tempered its anticipated tariff hit. The automaker's shares jumped 14.9%. Coca-ColaKO.N shares gained 4.1% after solid consumer demand drove its better-than-expected results, while diversified manufacturer 3M MMM.N advanced 7.7% after hiking its full-year forecast, bolstered by its focus on higher margin products and cost controls. After the market closed, Netflix stock dropped 5.8% in after-hours trading because the streaming company announced profits that were lower than analysts had expected. Overall, the third-quarter earnings season has started well, with 87% of reporting S&P 500 companies beating Wall Street profit forecasts. Yet, because stock prices are already near record highs and are valued expensively, investors are highly selective. Read More: Gold (XAU/USD) Price Down 5.7%, Biggest Daily Drop Since 2020.

This sharp decline was caused by several converging factors such as profit taking, easing haven-demand and US Dollar strength. As investors moved money back to safer, non-commodity assets, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 3.96%. The cryptocurrency Bitcoin also saw its value fluctuate during this period of renewed risk aversion. A picture of today's performance for major currencies zoom_out_map Currency Performance, October 21 – Source: OANDA Labs The US dollar gained strength on Tuesday, hitting a six-day high, as the Japanese yen weakened significantly following its change in political leadership. he yen slid by 0.76% against the dollar, reaching its lowest level since October 14th. This decline was driven by the election of the pro-stimulus Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, as investors expect her government to prioritize high spending and loose monetary policy, which is negative for the currency. The yen also fell against the euro and the British pound. The US dollar index rose 0.312% because of the yen’s weakness. The euro fell slightly by 0.3% against the stronger dollar, despite recent easing of political tensions in France. The British pound (sterling) was down against the dollar, even though new data showed that the UK's government borrowing for the first half of the financial year was the highest since the pandemic. Investors believe this bad news is already factored into the price, expecting a tough budget next month.

Aave has established itself as the most significant money market in the Ethereum ecosystem, without naming itself, with approximately $ 25 billion in loans in its active portfolio. By October 21, the decentralized lending protocol had almost 1,000 daily distinct borrowers and had over $ 25 billion in outstanding positions, significantly surpassing other competitors, such as SparkLend and Morpho. According to DeFiLlama data, the value of Aave alone as the provider of borrowed funds is nearly $26Bn, which serves to indicate the unprecedented dominance of the company in the industry. (Source: DeFiLlama) Its increase represents a more general trend of DeFi lending towards larger, safer pools following the acute deleveraging of 2022-2023. Capital is concentrating on well-audited protocols with deep liquidity and conservative parameters, areas where Aave continues to lead. Developers are also preparing the launch of Aave v4, a major upgrade designed to connect liquidity across multiple chains. That move could further strengthen its position as the backbone of Ethereum-based credit markets. Currently, Aave dominates in terms of scale and stability. Whether this strength will be reflected in the AAVE token as the larger market seeks its second leg up is the next question. The recent trend of Aave is correlated with the gradual increase of its GHO stablecoin and the anticipation of the next v4 upgrade. The new version will enable liquidity chain linkage and streamline the liquidation process, an action perceived as pivotal to the scaling of decentralized lending. Founder Stani Kulechov described v4 as a path to “deep liquidity for DeFi.” Industry analysts say the upgrade will introduce a hub-and-spoke structure that links multiple networks through a shared liquidity layer, potentially reducing fragmentation across Aave’s markets. The AAVE token traded near $236 in the past 24 hours, gaining about +2.5%. Its market value stood at around $ 3.6 billion, with prices ranging between $219 and $236. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Still, the token remains far below its previous cycle highs, reflecting investor caution about how protocol earnings translate into token value ahead of the v4 rollout. According to Aave’s dashboard, the protocol generated roughly $370,700 in revenue over the past 24 hours, with annualized earnings of about $95 million. (Source: DeFiLlama) Those figures are closely tracked by stakers and safety module participants, who view them as indicators of future yield and long-term sustainability. DISCOVER: 15+ Upcoming Coinbase Listings to Watch in 2025 AAVE Price Prediction: Why Is AAVE Struggling to Break Above the $260-$280 Resistance Zone? The AAVE/USDT chart shared by crypto analyst Popeye points to a textbook Wyckoff-style distribution pattern. Having experienced a significant surge, the token has since stabilized between approximately $220 and $340, with low highs in between. This pattern typically indicates declining demand and the onset of a market peak. Failures to overcome the resistance, despite several attempts, followed by a more recent dismissal at approximately $260, indicate that sellers rule the day. Further statement of increasing supply pressure is a sharp fall to below $200. Price has since been moving off the low-end range but is being held on the lower end against the resistance of end levels, with little power to buy. According to the Wyckoff scheme, AAVE may be in the markdown phase, where distribution would shift to extensive declines. Analysts say a strong recovery above the $260–$280 area, accompanied by increased volume, would be needed to shift sentiment. Without that, the setup favors continued weakness and the risk of a sustained downtrend.

SharpLink Gaming’s (NASDAQ: SBET) recent $75M Ether purchase hasn’t halted the stock’s decline, leaving investors to wonder if a larger crypto treasury can stabilize sentiment. According to the Globe News Wire, the company stated that it added approximately $75M worth of ether this week, bringing its total holdings to nearly 859,853 ETH following a recent capital raise of $ 76.5M. The move marks a more profound shift toward an Ethereum-focused treasury strategy, positioning the firm among the most active corporate buyers of ETH in 2025. Can Ethereum Exposure Help SBET Recover From Its Sharp Decline? SharpLink disclosed it bought 19,271 ETH at an average price of $3,892, following a registered direct offering completed on Oct. 17. However, SBET is still below its short-term moving averages, maintaining the larger structure’s tilt towards the bearish side. The reduction in volumes indicates the caution on the part of investors after high selling in the previous quarter. Following the acquisition of Ethereum by SharpLink for $75M in ETH, market sentiment may now be influenced by the direction of Ethereum. Any break above $18 may attract a push to $30, and losing support at $14 may lead to a decline all the way to $10. It appears that traders are waiting for stronger signals from the overall crypto market before making new investments.
