Ostium Labs argues that Bitcoin’s uptrend remains intact after August’s reversal, but it draws a bright red line at $98,000. In its September 1 Market Outlook, the firm writes: “Closing below $98k on this timeframe would turn weekly structure bearish,” adding that “above $98k weekly structure is still bullish and therefore we should anticipate the formation of a higher-low.” At publication time, Ostium referenced BTC around $108,017, with the August monthly candle settling “firmly red” after wicking through the record to roughly $124.5k and closing near prior resistance-turned-support around $108.2k. Key Bitcoin Price Levels To Watch Now On the monthly chart, Ostium sees no evidence of a 2021-style cyclical top. The note acknowledges some momentum divergence on RSI but stresses the absence of confirmation from the Awesome Oscillator: “AO has continued to point towards building momentum throughout the uptrend… I do not think this is even remotely similar to the 2021 top formation.” The bear case strengthens only if September “closes below the 2025 open at $93.3k and therefore below local trendline support.” For the bullish path, the team wants September to find support “above the yearly open, but likely much higher around the July lows at $105k,” and “ideally” finish the month green “above the August open at $115k,” a configuration they say would “set us up for expansion beyond the highs in October.” Weekly structure, by Ostium’s read, “showed no exhaustion on the move higher” and has now reset toward 50 on RSI, a profile the firm says supports trend continuation. Should the market carve a higher low early in September and reclaim momentum, a weekly close “back above $112k leads to a retest of the August open and potentially $117.5k into FOMC with a retest of the highs before month-end.” The daily timeframe remains the near-term hurdle. Ostium characterizes the pullback as “orderly,” with supports flipped to resistance on the way down and “the key level… obviously the $112k prior all-time high,” which served as support in early August and then “reclaimed resistance” on last week’s leg lower. “A breakout and close above the trendline and back above $112k would look like the bottom is in,” they write. A failed probe—“wick above the trendline into $112k and reject”—would bias price toward “the June open at $104.5k, with the 200dMA below that at $101.3k being key demand.” In derivatives, CoinGlass liquidation heatmaps for Binance’s BTC/USDT pair over one week and one month show dense liquidation bands layered above the $114k cap and clustered below around the $120k region, while no significant levels are visible to the downside. With a macro-heavy week ahead— ISM prints, JOLTS, the Fed’s Beige Book, jobless claims, ADP, ISM Services, and Friday’s Nonfarm Payrolls—Ostium lays out conditional tactical setups. For longs, they prefer evidence of exhaustion into support: trendline resistance respected, “today’s low” taken out via a liquidation wick into the June-open/200-day cluster, and bullish divergence forming there before bidding for a move back to the weekly open and the $112k retest. For shorts, they prefer a sharp early-week squeeze into $112k “with trend exhaustion… having not taken out today’s low around $107k,” fading the pop back into weekly lows with risk reduced if it unfolds ahead of NFP. Ostium also surveys positioning, pointing to snapshots across Velo and CoinGlass, three-month annualized basis, and the mix between Bitcoin and altcoin open interest, as well as one-week and one-month liquidation maps. While it refrains from headline claims on those dashboards, the note’s technical levels line up with the most concentrated liquidation density visible in the attached heatmaps, where stacked interest remains perched near the $112k pivot overhead and layered through the $105k–$101k demand shelf. DXY As Tailwind For The BTC Price The report extends beyond Bitcoin. The dollar backdrop, in Ostium’s framework, remains a tailwind for BTC into year-end. With DXY around 97.2, the firm says the current sequence rhymes with past cyclical drawdowns and expects “DXY to break below 96 and push towards at least 94.6, but more likely 93,” where a bottoming formation could emerge above the 200-month moving average. The secular DXY bull case is not dismissed; rather, Ostium situates the present leg as the final cyclical downswing before a higher-low and multi-year recovery, contingent on policy outcomes. A decisive monthly reclaim of 100 would invalidate the near-term bearish DXY view. Across assets, the through-line of Ostium’s September map is clarity on thresholds. For Bitcoin, a weekly loss of $98,000 would be the first structural break of the cycle; a daily reclaim of $112,000 would strongly argue the local low is in; and a monthly hold above $105,000 with a close back over $115,000 would tee up fresh highs into October. At press time, BTC traded at $110,610.

BTC ▲0.68% is back above $110K, trading around $110,300 after dipping as low as $107K yesterday. The bounce comes even as both Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs showed outflows, keeping the overall market cautious. On September 1, crypto ETFs saw strong outflows. (Source: BTCUSDT) Bitcoin ETFs lost 631 BTC ($68.8M), mostly from VanEck (627 BTC), now holding 16,780 BTC ($1.83B). Ethereum ETFs shed 4,319 ETH ($19M), led by Bitwise’s 5,467 ETH ($24.1M) sale, though it still holds 130,701 ETH ($575M). Still, with BTC reclaiming a key level, many traders are now asking if WLFI could be the next crypto to explode. EXPLORE: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 WLFI Recovery – Is This the Next Crypto to Explode or Another Failing Trump Crypto Project? WLFI had a crazy 24 hours. After a heavy sell-off, the token has bounced +17% from the bottom. But the dump was brutal: more money was liquidated on WLFI than even on Bitcoin. The drama started when its supposed circulating supply of 5B tokens suddenly turned into 24B: meaning WLFI dropped five times more tokens on launch than promised. That triggered big liquidations. Andrew Tate reportedly got wiped for $190K, while Justin Sun unlocked $178M worth of WLFI as part of his 20% unlock. His total bag? Around $891M. By launching WLFI through their World Liberty project, the family’s net worth reportedly jumped by about $5B overnight. Trump’s three sons are listed as co-founders, while Donald Trump himself is named “honorary co-founder.” The family holds under 25% of WLFI, making the token now likely their single most valuable asset: even surpassing their real estate empire. DISCOVER: WLFI Crypto: Another Trump Token Launch, Justin Sun Cashes In Meanwhile, the Trump token family isn’t looking good: TRUMP: -89.5% MELANIA: -98.6% WLFI: -32.5% USD1 – hopefully it doesn’t depeg. On-chain flows show whales moving into random plays, with top inflows yesterday going into tokens like USELESS, ME, LAUNCHCOIN, JELLYJELLY, and TROLL. Bitcoin reclaiming $110K gives bulls some hope, but the market is still fragile. WLFI’s sharp bounce is catching attention, but with messy tokenomics, whale dominance, and endless drama, it’s risky. Traders are left wondering: is WLFI really the next crypto to explode, or just another short-lived pump? Stay tuned to our real-time updates below. 24 minutes ago Is DOLO Crypto Finished? Dolomite Price Crashes -37% Post-Launch – Here’s Why By Fatima Crypto project Dolomite tumbled as DOLO price plunged nearly -37% in 24 hours, shocking traders who expected sustained momentum after a major exchange listing and early hype-driven demand. DOLO coin gained momentum from airdrop campaigns and high-profile Binance and Coinbase listings. But volatility and whale profit-taking quickly flipped sentiment, leaving Dolomite crypto retail investors scrambling for direction. Read The Full Article Here 1 hour ago Mastercard Views Crypto as a Payment Tool, Not a Revolution By Fatima Mastercard sees crypto primarily as a tool for payments, not a financial revolution, according to Christian Rau, the company’s Head of Crypto for Europe. He emphasized Mastercard’s focus on “safe and compliant payments” while acknowledging that stablecoins could streamline cross-border transactions—but cannot replace existing financial safeguards. While the company currently has no public plans to launch its own blockchain, Rau left the door open for the possibility in the future.

Among the top performers from the past cycle, Shiba Inu has struggled to hold its own as its price has tumbled by more than 85%. As a result, the meme coin has been pushed out of the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap as the price continues to struggle. However, there could be a turn in the tide for the Shiba Inu price after a major price formation at a demand level. This historically bullish move could spell the start of another major rally for the meme coin. Shiba Inu Price Shows Bottom Signal After tumbling below $0.000013, the Shiba Inu price has now reached a critical level that suggests a big move is on the horizon. This was highlighted by crypto analyst MyCryptoParadise, who identified the formation of a classic double bottom pattern. While double bottoms are not exactly rare, what makes this one so important is the level at which it was formed. As the crypto analyst points out, this classic double bottom formation has taken place around the $0.000012 level. This is a historical demand zone for the Shiba Inu price, which refers to a point where there is usually a lot of buy pressure for a digital asset. The formation at the support zone leads to a bullish structure that has more often than not led to a major price rally for a cryptocurrency. This means that this could be the start of a bullish reversal, and all that needs to happen is for the bulls to maintain their momentum at this point. Once the price breaks through the resistance at $0.000013, then it only needs to surmount the weak resistance that has built up at $0.00001345. This will actually lead to the level of importance, which lies between $0.00001428 and $0.00001445. These levels are important due to high liquidity, and the analyst explains that “if taken out with strength, SHIB could trigger a sharp rally that leaves latecomers chasing.” The Bears Still Have A Chance The formation of the classic double bottom pattern at the demand zone is inherently bullish, but it doesn’t completely eliminate the possibility that bears could still regain control. A bearish scenario could be reached if the meme coin completes a daily close below the demand zone at $0.000012. Such a move would invalidate the bullish momentum for the Shiba Inu price, signaling trouble for the meme coin. Further declines inside the current descending channel would put the Shiba Inu price on a path toward $0.000011 again.

Solana started a fresh increase from the $195 zone. SOL price is now recovering higher and might aim for a move above the $205 resistance zone. SOL price started a recovery wave after it tested the $195 zone against the US Dollar. The price is now trading below $205 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $201 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if it clears the $205 resistance zone. Solana Price Eyes Steady Recovery Solana price extended losses after there was a close below $205, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL traded below the $200 and $195 support levels to enter a short-term bearish zone. A low was formed at $194 and the price is now attempting a fresh increase. The price surpassed the $198 and $200 resistance levels. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $218 swing high to the $194 low. Besides, there was a break above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $201 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. Solana is now trading below $205 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $202 level. The next major resistance is near the $205 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $218 swing high to the $194 low. The main resistance could be $209. A successful close above the $209 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $218. Any more gains might send the price toward the $225 level. Another Decline In SOL? If SOL fails to rise above the $205 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $200 zone. The first major support is near the $195 level. A break below the $195 level might send the price toward the $188 support zone. If there is a close below the $188 support, the price could decline toward the $184 support in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for SOL/USD is gaining pace in the bullish zone. Hourly Hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for SOL/USD is above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $200 and $195. Major Resistance Levels – $205 and $209.

XRP price is attempting to recover from the $2.70 zone. The price is now moving higher and might gain pace if it clears the $2.850 resistance.

There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.820 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).

The price traded below the $2.850 and $2.820 levels to enter a bearish zone. The bears were able to push the price below $2.80 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Finally, the price declined below $2.750 and tested $2.70. A low was formed at $2.7018, and the price is now correcting some losses. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.040 swing high to the $2.701 low. The price is now trading below $2.820 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2.820 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. If the bulls protect the $2.750 support, the price could attempt another increase. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.820 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.850 level. A clear move above the $2.850 resistance might send the price toward the $2.880 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.920 resistance or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.040 swing high to the $2.701 low. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $2.960. Another Decline? If XRP fails to clear the $2.850 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.750 level. The next major support is near the $2.70 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.70 level, the price might continue to decline toward $2.650. The next major support sits near the $2.60 zone, below which the price could gain bearish momentum. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $2.750 and $2.70. Major Resistance Levels – $2.750 and $2.920.

Ethereum price started a fresh decline below the $4,550 zone. ETH is now attempting a recovery and might face hurdles near the $4,420 zone. Ethereum is still struggling to recover above the $4,500 zone. The price is trading below $4,500 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $4,430 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could start a decent increase if there is a close above the $4,450 level in the near term. Ethereum Price Eyes Steady Increase Ethereum price started a recovery wave after it tested the $4,220 zone, like Bitcoin. ETH price was able to climb above the $4,280 and $4,320 resistance levels. The price surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,491 swing high to the $4,213 low. A base seems to be forming above the $4,200 level, but the bears might remain active above the $4,400 resistance zone. Ethereum price is now trading below $4,450 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $4,430 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $4,385 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,491 swing high to the $4,213 low. The next key resistance is near the $4,400 level and the trend line. The first major resistance is near the $4,430 level. A clear move above the $4,430 resistance might send the price toward the $4,500 resistance. An upside break above the $4,500 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $4,550 resistance zone or even $4,580 in the near term. Another Decline In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $4,430 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $4,320 level. The first major support sits near the $4,250 zone. A clear move below the $4,250 support might push the price toward the $4,200 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $4,160 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at $4,120. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is gaining momentum in the bullish zone. Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now above the 50 zone.

This is a follow-up analysis and a timely update of our prior report, “Gold (XAU/USD) Technical: Push up towards medium-term range resistance zone as Fed’s independence erodes”, published on 26 August 2025. The price actions of Gold (XAU/USD) have staged the expected bullish move, rallied by 2.3% and hit the US$3,435 resistance as highlighted in our earlier publication last Friday, 29 August. The price actions of Gold (XAU/USD) have staged the expected bullish move, rallied by 2.3% and hit the US$3,435 resistance as highlighted in our earlier publication last Friday, 29 August. For a quick recap, the US$3,435 is considered a significant range resistance on Gold (XAU/USD) as this level has managed to stall prior rallies since its current all-time high of US$3,500 printed on 22 April 2025 and caused Gold (XAU/USD) to oscillate in a choppy sideways range in the past four months. Gold (XAU/USD) has finally managed to have a proper bullish breakout above the four-month range resistance of US$3,435 in last Friday’s US session, as it recorded a daily close of US$3,447 on 29 August in light of an anticipation of a US Federal Reserve's dovish pivot in September. Gold (XAU/USD) extended its upward momentum at the start of the week, advancing 0.8% to close at US$3,476 on Monday, 1 September. In this latest report, we will highlight several key technical elements that Gold (XAU/USD) has entered into a potential short to medium-term bullish acceleration phase. Let’s discuss them in detail, as well as the next short-term directional bias and key levels to watch on Gold (XAU/USD) Fig. 1: Gold (XAU/USD) minor trend as of 2 Sep 2025 (Source: TradingView) Fig. 2: Gold (XAU/USD) medium-term trend as of 2 Sep 2025 (Source: TradingView) Fig. 3: Gold (XAU/USD) with GVZ (implied volatility of Gold ETF) as of 2 Sep2025 (Source: TradingView) Preferred trend bias (1-3 days) Maintain bullish bias on Gold (XAU/USD) as the yellow metal kickstarts a potential bullish acceleration phase (see Fig. 1). Watch the US$3,451 key short-term pivotal support. A clearance above US$3,500 (the current all-time high) will see the next intermediate resistances coming in at US$3,520/3,524 and US$3,536/3,548 (Fibonacci extension clusters). Key elements The hourly MACD trend indicator of Gold (XAU/USD) has just flashed out an impending bullish crossover signal above its centreline, which suggests that short-term bullish momentum remains intact (see Fig. 1).The recent bullish breakout in the Gold (XAU/USD) above US$3,435 marks an exit from a bullish continuation range configuration, defined as a bullish “Ascending Triangle”. These observations increase the odds of a continuation of its prior impulsive up move sequence (see Fig. 2).The daily MACD trend indicator of Gold (XAU/USD) has continued to trend upwards above its centreline after its earlier bullish crossover on Monday, August 25, 2025, which supports a potential change in medium-term trend conditions from sideways to bullish (see Fig. 2).The Cboe Gold exchange-traded fund implied volatility (GVZ) has entered into a low volatility environment, as depicted by the narrowing of the Bollinger Bands, called the “Band Squeeze” since mid-July 2025. A “Band Squeeze” or a low “Bandwidth” reading is a prelude to a potential expansion in volatility. An increased implied volatility (GVZ) may trigger a significant up move in Gold (XAU/USD) (see Fig. 3).Recent observations between February and March 2025, when a Bollinger “Band Squeeze” in GVZ occurred, preceded a notable rally in Gold (XAU/USD) in April 2025 (see Fig. 3).Alternative trend bias (1 to 3 days) Failure to hold at the US$3,451 key short-term support on Gold (XAU/USD) negates the bullish tone for another round of minor corrective decline to retest US$3,435/3,432 pull-back support of the former medium-term “Ascending Triangle” range resistance.

As the crypto market continues to struggle, Ethereum (ETH) is attempting to hold a crucial zone as support to resume its bullish rally. However, some analysts suggest that the cryptocurrency will see another choppy September before the long-awaited Q4 run. Ethereum Party To Be Delayed? Amid the recent market correction, Ethereum closed August around the $4,390 area, recording its highest monthly close since November 2021. The end-of-month market pullback sent the King of Altcoins’ price to the $4,250 area before bouncing, a 14% drop from its recent all-time high (ATH) of $4,956. The cryptocurrency began the new month attempting to reclaim the $4,500 level as support for the third consecutive day, but failed to hold this crucial area, dropping below its monthly opening. Market watcher Cipher X highlighted that ETH has historically seen mixed performances throughout September, with more red than green price action and an average negative monthly return of 6.1%. According to CoinGlass data, Ethereum has seen double-digit negative returns five times since 2016, losing 21.65% in 2017. Meanwhile, it has only recorded a positive return in the double-digits once, with a 14.53% performance in 2016. Nonetheless, the market watcher noted that if the altcoin’s performance stumbles this month, “history suggests the real rebound could come right after.” Notably, October and November have historically been green months for ETH, with an average return of 4.7% and 7.8%, respectively. “September might be choppy but the months that follow have usually been much friendlier to ETH,” the analyst affirmed. Similarly, Bitfinex suggested that “September could mark the cyclical low point before structural drivers reassert for a Q4 recovery.” In a Monday report, the crypto exchange explained that they expect the broader market pullback to conclude relatively soon, adding that, despite the recent sell-off, institutional accumulation of ETH remains robust, while only 18.3 million ETH currently sit on exchanges. ETH Q4 Take Off Eyes New Highs Michaël van de Poppe underscored ETH’s performance, affirming that Ethereum is “on its way toward a beautiful spot to accumulate before Q4 is ready to take off.” According to the analyst, the cryptocurrency could see a 10%-20% correction this month to the $3,900-$3,400 range, which served as an accumulation zone before the August breakout. Daan Crypto Trades highlighted that ETH has been hovering between $4,300-$4,500 over the past week, consolidating in the mid-zone of its local range. The analyst warned that the lack of momentum at the start of the month could see the cryptocurrency retest the range lows, where the 200-Day Moving Average (MA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) are situated in the 4-hour chart. However, he noted that breaking out and consolidating above the local range would lead to higher levels and into its price discovery phase. Meanwhile, market watcher Merlijn The Trader affirmed that Ethereum has entered the expansion phase as the $4,000-$4,100 zone has been retested as support throughout the recent pullbacks. Per the post, the multi-year trendline has been turned from resistance into a launchpad that will propel the cryptocurrency’s price to the $7,000 level once the breakout begins. As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $4,268, a 4% decline in the daily timeframe.

Most Read: Gold (XAU/USD) Eyes Weekly Close Above $3400/oz on Renewed Haven Demand and DXY Weakness Oil prices have rallied just over 1% to start the week thanks in part to rising geopolitical risks with Russia-Ukraine tensions stoking supply concerns. Russia-Ukraine Developments Ukraine has recently used drones to attack and shut down many of Russia's oil processing plants. These attacks have stopped Russia from processing over a million barrels of oil each day, which is a significant part of their total supply (about 17%). Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has said they plan to launch more of these attacks deep inside Russia. This is happening three and a half years into the war. In the last few weeks, both sides have increased their air strikes. While Russia has been attacking Ukraine's power and transport systems, Ukraine is hitting back by targeting Russia's oil industry. These ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure have increased the risk premium and this is likely aiding oil prices at present. A potential peace deal touted by US President Donald Trump appears to be falling apart with European Leaders taking a more combative approach following a historic meeting at the White House in August. Many had expected the meeting to lead to a path for peace, for now though, this seems further away than ever. Chevron Returns to Venezuela The US government, under the Trump administration, has slightly changed its rules for Venezuela's oil industry. It gave the oil company Chevron special permission to increase its work there. This is a careful change, not a wide-open door, but it might allow other foreign oil companies to return to Venezuela in the future. At the same time, the US is using a two-part strategy. While it's allowing more oil to be produced, it is also increasing pressure on Venezuela's President, Nicolás Maduro. As part of this, the US recently sent three navy warships to waters near Venezuela to help fight drug trafficking. The government had also previously charged Maduro with drug-related terrorism and offered a $50 million reward for his arrest. For Chevron, this special permission is a big deal. The company could produce about 250,000 more barrels of oil per day. While that's not enough to change global oil prices, it's a significant boost for Chevron itself, increasing its oil production by more than 10%. Chevron's refineries in the US are now in a great position to process this cheaper Venezuelan oil, which they haven't been able to get for years. The decision may offset some of the fears around Russian Oil supply and could be seen as a move in anticipation of supply constraints if the US follows through on harsher restrictions on Russian Oil purchases. However, this is unlikely to affect demand for Russian Crude. China and India are the biggest buyers of crude oil from Russia. India has already seen additional tariffs imposed as a result of a its Russian Oil purchases but has remained steadfast thus far. This was evident by Narendra Modi attending the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) meeting in Tianjin over the weekend where he was pictured alongside China Leader Xi Jinping and Russian Leader Vladimir Putin. OPEC 8 Meeting Markets will now turn their attention to API and EIA data this week ahead of the much anticipated meeting by the OPEC 8 scheduled for September 7. OPEC meetings this year have been fruitful with significant output increases. The recent meeting on August 3 saw a 547,000 bpd increase for September, fully reversing the group's previous voluntary output cuts. The group does appear to have pivoted its strategy to counter US President Donald Trump's pledge to lower oil prices. They have shifted from price stabilization to market share as Oil prices struggle to break back above the $70/ barrel mark. The lower Oil prices go the more beneficial this may prove to OPEC members as US producers need Oil to average around the $56/barrel mark to remain profitable. Thus the closer we are to that number the less appealing it is for US producers. For all market-moving economic releases and events, see the MarketPulse Economic Calendar. (click to enlarge) Technical Analysis - WTI From a technical analysis standpoint, Oil is eyeing a clean break of a long-term descending trendline which could open up the possibility of a significant rally to the upside. The trendline is also a confluence level as it lines up with the 200-day MA resting at the 65.00 handle. A break of this level should in theory lead to a rally toward the 70.00 mark before the next target at 76.00 comes into view. However, there are potential warning signs that need to be considered. Firstly the current price is almost identical to the previous swing high from August 25 which led to a selloff back to the 63.00 mark and thus a rejection here could be seen as a potential double top pattern and lead to an influx of sellers. This make this level a key inflection point for Oil prices in the short-term and potentially the medium-term as well and should be monitored closely.

Bitcoin has seen a rebound since retesting the short-term holder Realized Price, a sign that this historical on-chain support may be holding. Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Realized Price Just Acted As Support As explained by CryptoQuant author IT Tech in an X post, Bitcoin found support around the short-term holder Realized Price during the latest dip. The “Realized Price” here refers to an on-chain indicator that measures the cost basis of the average investor on the BTC network. When the price of the cryptocurrency is above this metric, it means the holders as a whole are in a state of net unrealized profit. On the other hand, it being under the indicator implies the overall market is in the red. In the context of the current topic, the Realized Price of only a specific segment of investors is of interest: the short-term holders (STHs). This cohort includes the holders who purchased their coins within the past 155 days. The STHs make up for one of the two main divisions of the Bitcoin market done on the basis of holding time, with the other side being known as the long-term holders (LTHs). Where these groups differ is that the investors of the former tend to be weak hands who make panic moves whenever volatility emerges in the sector, while the latter’s members show high-conviction behavior. To any investor, their cost basis is an important level and since the STHs are particularly fickle, they usually show some kind of reaction when their Realized Price gets retested. This has led to the asset’s price observing various interactions with this metric in the past. One such interaction may have occurred during the past day, as the below chart shared by the analyst suggests. As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin STH Realized Price currently sits around $107,500. During BTC’s latest dip, its price slightly went under this mark, but found a rebound to higher levels. Generally, STHs buy to defend their cost basis when the sentiment among them is bullish. In such periods, they believe a price decline to their break-even mark to be a “dip-buying” opportunity Considering the fact that the asset has been able to find support at the STH Realized Price, it would appear that the STHs still think a bullish regime is on. That said, Bitcoin has only seen a small rebound for now, so it only remains to be seen whether the asset will remain above the level or if another retest would occur. In the scenario that a breakdown of the metric occurs, the cryptocurrency may face a shift to a bearish trend in the short-term, as it took place in February of this year. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is floating around $109,200, down 2% over the last seven days.

Bitcoin price is still showing bearish signs below $112,000. BTC is now attempting to recover and might face hurdles near the $110,500 level. Bitcoin started a fresh decline below the $112,000 zone. The price is trading below $110,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There was a break above a short-term contracting triangle with resistance at $108,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair might start another decline if it stays below the $110,500 zone. Bitcoin Price Starts Consolidation Bitcoin price attempted a fresh recovery wave from the $107,350 zone. BTC was able to climb above the $108,200 and $108,400 resistance levels. The price cleared the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $113,457 swing high to the $107,352 low. Besides, there was a break above a short-term contracting triangle with resistance at $108,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. However, the bears are still active near $109,500. The price is now consolidating near $109,500. Bitcoin is now trading below $110,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $109,500 level. The first key resistance is near the $110,200 level. The next resistance could be $110,500 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $113,457 swing high to the $107,352 low. A close above the $110,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $111,650 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $112,500 level. The main target could be $113,500. Another Decline In BTC? If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $110,500 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Immediate support is near the $108,800 level. The first major support is near the $108,200 level. The next support is now near the $107,350 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $106,500 support in the near term. The main support sits at $105,500, below which BTC might decline sharply. Technical indicators: Hourly MACD – The MACD is now losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $108,800, followed by $108,000. Major Resistance Levels – $109,500 and $110,500.

The recent downturn in Bitcoin prices has raised eyebrows among market analysts, with one prominent figure warning that the leading cryptocurrency could face a significant decline toward the $90,000 mark in the coming months. As Bitcoin opened the month officially dropping below critical support levels, the market’s reaction remains tepid, suggesting that many investors have yet to fully grasp the severity of the situation. BTC’s Last Line Of Defense In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), market analyst Doctor Profit highlighted key price levels associated with various holder groups: $115,600 for 1 million holders, $113,600 for 3 million holders, and approximately $107,000 for 6 million holders. As Bitcoin traded below all these thresholds earlier on Monday, Doctor Profit pointed out that every recent buyer is currently facing unrealized losses. However, he cautioned against interpreting this lack of panic as a sign of stability. According to him, “these investors haven’t tasted enough fear yet,” suggesting that market makers may continue to drive prices lower until a genuine capitulation occurs. The analyst emphasized that the $107,000 to $108,900 zone represents the last robust line of defense for Bitcoin. Should this level fail to hold, he predicts a swift movement toward the $90,000 to $95,000 range. Currently, the market’s leading cryptocurrency has recovered above $109,000. It is trading above the last line of support, preventing the analyst’s scenario of an additional 17% price drop for Bitcoin toward its Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap placed just above $90,000. Tough September Ahead For Bitcoin Doctor Profit also argued in his analysis that the current market sentiment is characterized by minimal fear and an unrealized loss of only 0.5%, especially when compared to the more significant corrections of 30% or more seen in historical bear markets. He believes that the lack of panic among the cryptocurrency’s holders indicates that many are still too comfortable, which could set the stage for a more severe market correction. Further complicating matters, Doctor Profit noted the recent behavior of corporate insiders in the stock market, where over 200 alleged insider trades occurred, with not a single buy recorded. If insiders are choosing to offload their stocks during a period of apparent strength, the analyst asserts that this activity could foreshadow similar selling pressure in the Bitcoin and broader cryptocurrency market. As market makers seek to capitalize on this development, Doctor Profit warns that these entities will likely apply pressure until a substantial portion of short-term traders are forced to sell at a loss. Doctor Profit concludes by suggesting that the real pain for Bitcoin holders is still to come, predicting that September will be particularly unkind as the market shifts from denial to a more painful reality.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent volatility has unsettled investors, as the largest cryptocurrency by market cap slid by more than five percent over the last two weeks. However, two key on-chain factors indicate that the BTC market structure is largely resilient. Bitcoin Remains Strong Despite Volatility According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake post by contributor XWIN Research Japan, two important on-chain indicators suggest that despite the recent slump in price, the overall market structure remains strong for the flagship cryptocurrency. The first is Bitcoin’s Delta Cap – a long-term valuation model derived from the difference between Realized Cap and Average Cap – that has historically acted as a reliable floor during major cycles. In early August, BTC traded above this steadily rising line, suggesting that the market is building a stronger foundation compared to previous drawdowns. A rising Delta Cap also signals capital inflows and long-term investor conviction, even during price corrections. The CryptoQuant analyst shared the following chart showing Delta Cap hovering around $739.4 billion. Although BTC is currently trading below this line, a quick move to $120,000 would likely push the price back above it. The second on-chain factor pointing toward resilience in BTC market structure is the Coinbase Premium Gap, which currently stands at +11.6. The high positive value of the metric suggests stronger demand from US institutions, who are accumulating BTC at a premium. For the uninitiated, the Coinbase Premium Gap measures the price difference of Bitcoin between US exchange Coinbase and global exchanges like Binance. A positive gap means Bitcoin trades at a higher price on Coinbase, often signaling stronger US institutional buying demand. Historically, sustained periods of positive premium have preceded major bullish phases, as institutional accumulation drives price discovery. The analyst concluded: Together, these two metrics point toward a constructive setup: Bitcoin consolidating above $100K with strong institutional support and a long-term valuation floor steadily rising. Corrections, rather than being a sign of weakness, appear to be opportunities for accumulation within a robust structural uptrend. Is BTC Out Of The Woods? Although the two aforementioned on-chain indicators point toward strength in BTC market structure, not all analysts are as optimistic. For instance, a fall below $105,000 might send BTC all the way down to $90,000. Another analyst recently warned that if BTC loses the support at $108,600 level, then it could fall further to $104,000. A failure to bounce from $104,000 could see BTC test the psychologically important $100,000 level. That said, Bitcoin’s rapidly rising illiquid supply on Binance may play a pivotal role in sending it to a fresh all-time high (ATH). At press time, BTC trades at $109,289, up 0.9% in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin long-term holders have seen their spending accelerate recently, with the largest daily spike of the year taking place on Friday. 1 To 2 Years Old Bitcoin Investors Made Up For The Biggest Part Of The Spike In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Glassnode has discussed how the activity of the Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs) has been looking recently. The LTHs refer to the BTC investors who have been holding onto their coins for more than 155 days. Statistically, the longer an investor holds onto their coins, the less likely they are to sell them in the future. As such, the LTHs with their relatively long holding time are considered to be resolute entities. Despite their conviction, however, there are times when even members of this cohort decide to part with their coins. Below is a chart shared by Glassnode that shows how spending from this cohort has fluctuated over the past year. As is visible in the graph, the 14-day simple moving average (SMA) of the Bitcoin volume spent by the LTHs has shot up recently, indicating the HODLers are ramping up their transaction activity. The spike in LTH spending has come after a decline in the BTC price. The timing could be a possible sign that some of the diamond hands are starting to think the bull run is winding down, so they have decided to exit with their profits while they still can. Though while Bitcoin LTH transactions are elevated right now, they are still significantly below the levels observed in the last quarter of 2024. Also, the smoothed data of the 14-day SMA may suggest the development corresponds to an increase in spending over a period, but it turns out that it’s largely due to a single large daily spike. From the chart, it’s apparent that this large spike that occurred on Friday involved around 97,000 BTC, worth a whopping $10.6 billion. This is the largest spending day for the LTHs in 2025 so far. The LTH group’s 155-day cutoff means that the cohort covers a rather large range, so here’s another chart, this one breaking down how the different segments of the group have contributed to this event: It would appear that the 1 to 2-year-old Bitcoin LTHs provided the largest part of the spending spike at 34,500 BTC. The 6 to 12 months and 3 to 5 years segments are other standouts, each contributing around 16,000 BTC. BTC Price Bitcoin slipped toward $107,000 during the weekend, but it appears the coin has jumped back to start Monday as its price is now trading around $109,500.

World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform supported by President Donald Trump, has officially launched its native token WLFI. Although the debut of WLFI marks a significant step for the Trump family, its initial performance has been lackluster compared to the anticipation it garnered in recent weeks. WLFI Token Faces 12% Decline According to CoinGecko data, the WLFI price had already seen losses of up to 12% by the time of writing. It is attempting to consolidate at the $0.24 mark, which could be the cryptocurrency’s first support line for the rest of the week. Upon launch, WLFI reached a high of $0.33 and a low of $0.23 earlier on Monday’s trading session. This represents a nearly 25% gap from the current trading levels and the recently established all-time high for the World Liberty Financial token. Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President Donald Trump, took to social media platform X to defend the token’s legitimacy, stating, “This isn’t some memecoin; it’s the governance backbone of a real ecosystem changing how money moves. Freedom + finance + America FIRST.” World Liberty Financial was established last October, with Donald Trump serving as “co-founder emeritus” alongside his three sons. The company initially created 100 billion WLFI tokens, of which about a quarter were sold for a face value of $550 million. However, these tokens were not initially tradeable and could only be used for voting on corporate matters within the company. A vote last month permitted the tokens to be traded, allowing for a nominal total market value of around $6.4 billion based on the current price. In the initial trading phase, 24.7 billion WLFI tokens are set to be available, which includes 7.8 billion tokens earmarked for a newly announced “crypto treasury” company in collaboration with ALT5 Sigma, a Nasdaq-listed fintech company. Critics Raise Conflict Of Interest Concerns Financial disclosures reveal that Donald Trump held approximately 15.75 billion WLFI tokens at the end of last year, which, at the current trading price, would be valued approximately $3.6 billion. However, the Trump family’s involvement in the sector has drawn criticism among Democrats. Senator Elizabeth Warren raised concerns in an April letter, arguing that the Trump family’s financial interests in World Liberty Financial create a conflict of interest that could influence regulatory decisions in favor of cryptocurrency. Earlier this year, the company also launched a stablecoin named USD1, pegged to the dollar, with a total nominal value of $2.7 billion. The head of crypto market maker DWF Markets, Andrei Grachev, who is also an investor in WLFI, announced plans to shift $250 million of reserves into USD1.

In a video analysis published today, crypto market commentator CryptoInsightUK argues that XRP is poised to front-run the next leg higher across crypto assets, citing a clear structural divergence in liquidity profiles versus Bitcoin and Ethereum on lower-timeframe charts and confirming signals on the XRP/BTC cross. Why XRP Could Outperform BTC And ETH The core of his case is a comparative liquidity mapping across BTC, ETH, and XRP. On Bitcoin, he notes that downside pools around “about 106K” have been a persistent magnet on intraday timeframes, but the daily heatmap still shows heavier clusters above spot. “Now we’re down at these levels, it’s more likely than not that we do continue to take this liquidity here for Bitcoin,” he says. The analyst adds that on the daily timeframe “to the upside there could be a push into this liquidity about $126K–$128K and then we’re starting to see orange liquidity now at $141,000.” He frames any reversal as fast and reflexive: “When we get this move back to the upside… it’s going to be pretty aggressive and people are going to be caught on the wrong side of the trade.” Ethereum’s setup, by contrast, is described as tactically softer after already tapping significant overhead liquidity during its prior pop. On his hourly mapping, the denser pools sit below recent lows, implying a non-trivial risk of mean reversion. “We actually have come back to this sort of area as well and we can see this more dense liquidity again below us sitting at around $4,050ish… the dense liquidity sits about $4,000 to $4,450,” he explains, characterizing ETH as “a bit hands off” for now—while also flagging that today’s US market closure for a public holiday can distort intraday reads. The crux of the bullish divergence is on XRP. On the hourly basis, he shows that XRP has already swept and “taken the red liquidity below,” leaving the “main liquidity… above,” a configuration he views as conducive to an upside reversal if bid momentum emerges. “Is XRP front-running here? Is it going to front-run altcoins?” he asks, pointing to the token’s different placement on the liquidity map relative to BTC and ETH. Extending the lens to relative performance, he highlights the XRP/BTC pair on the four-hour chart, where a prior resistance box has been flipped to support and momentum has repeatedly wicked into oversold territory with constructive reactions. “When we’re at this level, we want to flip this resistance into support. Currently, we are holding that support,” he says, adding that while such oversold prints do not perfectly call bottoms, “more often than not, they have had a decent reaction, especially when we’re in an area of support like this.” On higher timeframes, he reiterates that XRP’s heavier liquidity sits overhead—interpreting that as dry powder for continuation if spot can reclaim momentum—while BTC still has an attractive path to vacuum upper pools once immediate downside pockets are cleaned. Ethereum, having already consumed much of its near-term upside liquidity, could underperform tactically until its lower clusters are tested or rebalanced. The analyst ties the mosaic together with a cycle view that remains incomplete: “That’s one of the reasons I really don’t think the top is in yet for crypto.” He stresses that the work is descriptive, not prescriptive. “This doesn’t mean that this is my opinion specifically. I’m just showing you charts here,” he says, before reiterating the cycle-long thesis: “I’ve said for the whole cycle, I think XRP is leading.” The coming weeks, he adds, should clarify whether the structural divergence he outlines translates into XRP leadership on the tape as broader market euphoria returns and sidelined traders chase. At press time, XRP traded at $2.77.

Polygon (POL) is approaching a critical juncture around the $0.28 mark, where recent momentum meets key resistance. The coming sessions could determine if buyers can push past this level for a breakout or if a pullback toward support near $0.26 will set the stage for consolidation. Polygon Uptrend Faces Resistance At $0.28 GemXBT, in a recent update shared on X, highlighted that Polygon has been trending upward, showing encouraging strength in its recent performance. However, the chart now reveals that the price is approaching a crucial resistance level at $0.28, while finding strong support around $0.26. From a technical perspective, the MACD has flashed a bearish crossover, which often signals fading momentum or the possibility of a short-term correction. This development suggests that bulls may need to exert more pressure to sustain the uptrend and push through the $0.28 resistance. Adding to this cautious tone, the RSI is moving downward, indicating weakening buying pressure. If the indicator continues to fall, a dip toward the $0.26 support area could be on the cards before any attempt at a fresh rebound. Interestingly, volume spikes have consistently aligned with price peaks, which signals heightened interest and activity whenever POL approaches key levels. This dynamic underscores the importance of monitoring these technical zones closely, as they could set the stage for either a decisive breakout above resistance or a corrective pullback to retest lower supports. Key Decision Point: Rally Continuation Or Healthy Reset? According to OLUWANIFEMI, Polygon is currently trading at $0.2778, marking an impressive 13.82% gain over the last 24 hours, indicating strong momentum. Building on this, OLUWANIFEMI highlights that the price action is right around the $0.280 resistance zone, which is shaping up to be a critical level for the next move. In his view, if buyers manage to maintain control and push past this barrier with convincing volume, the setup could pave the way for a further breakout to the upside. However, he also cautions that not all signals point to immediate strength. Should momentum begin to fade, the expert anticipates a healthy pullback toward the $0.260 support region. A retest of this level, he emphasizes, would not necessarily harm the broader trend but could instead provide the market with room to reset before the next upward leg. Concluding his outlook, the analyst stresses that this makes the current zone particularly important to monitor. Whether Polygon breaks higher or dips into consolidation, he claims sharp traders will be watching closely to position themselves for the next significant move in either direction.

Nike and StockX have finally wrapped up a lawsuit that’s been running since 2022. Filed in a New York federal court, both sides agreed to drop the case with prejudice, meaning it is officially over and cannot be reopened. The details of the agreement are staying private, but the message is clear: both companies are ready to move on. NFTs Were the Spark That Lit the Fuse The fight started when StockX launched “Vault” NFTs tied to physical sneakers. These tokens showed Nike shoes, complete with logos, which Nike claimed could mislead customers into thinking there was some kind of partnership. There wasn’t. That alone stirred enough legal tension, but Nike then added more fire by accusing StockX of selling fake shoes. The company said that some sneakers StockX authenticated as legit were actually counterfeit. In early 2025, a judge agreed that StockX was responsible in a few of those cases, and a full jury trial was supposed to happen in October. That trial is now off the table thanks to this new settlement. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 A Clear Decision Instead of a Messy Trial Rather than take this all the way through a public courtroom battle, both sides have chosen a cleaner path forward. This move avoids a long, public legal brawl and brings a bit of clarity to how brands want their trademarks treated in the world of NFTs. It also saves both companies time and probably a lot of money. EthereumPriceMarket CapETH$518.43B24h7d30d1yAll time What This Tells Us About NFTs and Brand Boundaries The entire case raised big questions about how NFTs work when they’re tied to physical goods. Are they just digital receipts, or do they represent something more? The court didn’t give a final ruling on that, but the pressure from this case showed that brands care a lot about how their logos and products appear in digital spaces. This settlement sends a message: tread carefully when blending real-world brands with blockchain tokens. DISCOVER: Best New Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 Platforms Will Likely Think Twice Going Forward With this chapter closed, a new level of awareness has emerged for platforms creating NFTs tied to physical products. The rules are still forming, but this was a wake-up call. If you’re using someone else’s brand to add value to your digital asset, you need to be very clear about rights, partnerships, and how it’s all framed. Otherwise, you might find yourself in court for years. Where Things Go from Here Nike and StockX are both major names in their industries. Ending this fight without a verdict lets them both reset and focus on what’s next. For everyone else watching, especially in the NFT and streetwear scenes, this story becomes part of a growing playbook on what not to do when mixing blockchain and big brands. It’s a quiet ending, but one that will probably echo across the space for a while. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates Key Takeaways Nike and StockX have officially ended their lawsuit with a private settlement, avoiding a public trial and closing the case for good. The legal fight began when StockX launched NFTs tied to Nike shoes, which led to trademark claims and later accusations of selling counterfeit sneakers. A 2025 court ruling held StockX liable in a few fake shoe cases, but both sides settled before the planned jury trial in October. This case highlights the legal gray areas of linking NFTs to physical goods and shows how seriously brands protect their IP in digital formats. The settlement will likely influence how other platforms handle brand names and images in NFT projects in the future.

The Shiba Inu development team has sounded the alarm over a wave of scams tied to LEASH and other tokens within its ecosystem. In notices put up on X by Susbarium, a Shiba Inu-committed profile, scam websites and pretend migrant links are being exploited to deceive owners into attaching wallets and confirming malicious transactions. Fraudulent Sites And Phishing Attempts One of the scams highlighted involved a website promoting a fake LEASH migration. The warnings stress that any messages on Telegram encouraging users to take part in “LEASH V2 Migration” are phishing schemes designed to drain funds. Shiba Inu holders were told to avoid clicking links or approving wallet requests that do not come from official channels. LEASH Supply Concerns Spark V2 On August 11, 2025, LEASH supply unexpectedly grew by 10%, sparking concern across the community. This event contradicted the long-standing belief that the token’s supply was fixed and that rebasing had been disabled. After reviewing the incident, developers and the community agreed that LEASH v2 would be launched under a new audited non-rebase contract. Shiba Inu developers noted that work on LEASH v2 is already underway. The stated goal is to provide a secure migration process, with full verification and protections for token holders. At the same time, the team emphasized that any announcements about LEASH migration outside the official SHIB website should be treated as scams. Warnings Against False Claims Susbarium also pointed out that coordinated groups of bad actors are spreading misinformation across social media through networks of fake accounts. These efforts, according to the watchdog, are aimed at creating confusion and preying on less experienced investors. The Shiba Inu team has made clear there is no official LEASH token on Solana. Claims of migration to that blockchain are fraudulent, and any Solana-based version of LEASH is fake. Only tokens listed on the official SHIB website are valid parts of the ecosystem, the team stated. Community On Alert The repeated warnings underline how token migrations or contract changes often become a magnet for scams. Shiba Inu developers say their priority is protecting holders during the shift to LEASH v2 while ensuring every step is transparent and verifiable. For now, the community is being told to remain vigilant and avoid any unofficial migration offers. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

The 23 Most Profitable Metals to Scrap: Prices, Sources, and Smart Selling Tips If you want a simple way to turn clutter into cash, scrap metal is a direct path. The most profitable metals to scrap live in garages, sheds, closets, and project piles. With a magnet, a scale, a few labeled bins, and a plan, you can sort fast, sell clean, and walk out of the yard with money. This guide ranks the 23 best metals to scrap, shows you where to find them, and gives you a repeatable, legal process that works in the real world. How Scrap Makes You Money The three levers that drive profit Scrap profit depends on price per pound, purity, and volume. Non ferrous metals like copper, brass, aluminum, and the platinum group pay more than ferrous metals like iron and steel. Clean metal earns more than mixed, dirty, or painted metal. Volume multiplies small wins. Five minutes collecting thick copper wire often beats an hour pulling tiny screws from a busted device. Simple shop routine that never fails Use a magnet to split ferrous from non ferrous in seconds. Keep a cheap digital scale to estimate value before you leave. Sort by type in sturdy, clearly labeled bins. Remove screws, rubber, wood, and plastic whenever practical. Know your local laws, bring ID, and only sell what you legally own. Prices move, but you do not need to chase pennies. Track the board price at your yard, wait for a reasonable number, then move your stack. A retired machinist wrote that he sold a coffee can of carbide inserts and brass offcuts and paid for a week of groceries. Common sense, repeated, wins. Precious Metals: Small Pieces, Big Payouts These five sit at the top for value per ounce. They are not always easy to gather in bulk, but they are worth handling with care. Never scratch test items that could be collectible. Verify hallmarks, weigh accurately, and keep stones separate from metal so the scale is honest. Gold: Broken jewelry, dental crowns you legally own, and high grade electronic connectors. Keep lots separated by karat when possible. Silver: Sterling flatware, serving pieces, and older coins. Look for 925 or sterling marks, not plated labels like EPNS. Platinum: Dense, white, and tarnish resistant in jewelry and older lab gear. Do not confuse with white gold. Palladium: Present in some jewelry and electronics, and a key value component in catalytic converters. Rhodium: Primarily found inside catalytic converters. Treat converters as a legal and safety issue at all times. Catalytic converter rule of thumb: only touch converters you own, removed during legitimate repairs with paperwork. Many yards require proof and serial logging. Keep it clean and legal, and you keep the industry healthy. The Non Ferrous All Stars, 1 to 12 These steady earners are the most profitable metals to scrap for most homeowners. Label bins, keep grades separate, and avoid overcomplication. 1. Copper: Thick wire, pipe, and heavy cable pay best. Strip insulation only when the math justifies the time. 2. Brass: Faucets, valves, and fittings. Separate yellow brass from clean brass if your yard pays different rates. 3. Aluminum: Extrusions, siding, ladders, and wheels. Keep cast, sheet, and extrusion grades apart for better pricing. 4. Stainless steel: Non magnetic sinks and restaurant gear. Higher nickel grades usually pay more. 5. Nickel: Less common at home, but found in industrial parts and premium alloys. Low bulk, solid value. 6. Bronze: Marine hardware, bushings, and older decor. Heavier than brass, strong payouts when clean. 7. Lead: Wheel weights, old pipes, and batteries. Handle batteries safely and use a buyer that accepts them. 8. Zinc: Roof flashing and hardware. Not a headliner, but worth a bin as volume grows. 9. Tin: Often a plating on steel. Pure tin is rare, but pewter mugs and plates can add up. 10. Titanium: Golf club heads, bike parts, and medical scraps. Light for its strength, confirm identity with a proper spark test if trained. 11. Tungsten carbide: Drill bits and machining inserts. Very dense and excellent price per pound. 12. Cobalt: Present in some tool steels and batteries. Niche, but valuable when clean and sorted. Feeling unsure at the bench is normal. Slow down, magnet test, weigh, and label. Confidence grows fast when you sell your first clean load. Rounding Out the 23, 13 to 23 These categories rarely grab attention, but stacked neatly in consistent grades they move the needle. Ten pounds of the same thing beats a random soup every time. 13. Aluminum copper radiator: AC coils from replacements you own with paperwork. Remove steel and plastic to improve grade. 14. Brass radiator: From older vehicles and machinery. Heavy, dependable value when ownership is clear. 15. Electric motors: Copper windings inside. Some yards buy by motor weight, others want windings separated. 16. Insulated copper wire: Separate by thickness. Thick insulation lowers payout unless you strip. Run the math first. 17. Aluminum wheels: Auto rims without weights or stems. Clean wheels bring a premium. 18. Monel: Nickel copper marine alloy. Corrosion resistant and valuable in boat hardware. 19. Inconel: High temperature nickel alloy in aerospace and turbines. Rare at home, great value when clean. 20. Magnesium: Lightweight auto and tool parts. Sparks fiercely when ground. Keep separate and sell clean. 21. Cast iron: Engines, stoves, and old radiators. Low price per pound, volume can still pay. 22. Carbon steel: The most common metal. Low payout, high volume. Add when you already plan a yard run. 23. Gold plated connectors and pins: From older electronics you own. Small mass, good value when batched by type. A neighbor replaced a failing central air unit, saved the old coil, cleaned the frame, and brought a neat, documented load. One ticket and one payment. That is the goal. Where to Find Profitable Scrap at Home Fast sources in the house Kitchen: Stainless sinks, old flatware, and broken aluminum cookware. Bathroom: Brass faucet bodies and shower valves under chrome plating. Lighting: Outdated fixtures in aluminum or brass, plus heavy gauge lamp wire. Garage and yard wins Dead lawn equipment: Steel frames, aluminum housings, and brass fittings. Ladders and frames: Aluminum extrusions from old windows and doors. Auto parts you own: Aluminum wheels and radiators with plastic removed. Power cords: Heavy extension cords and appliance cables with copper inside. Electronics are a separate rhythm. Keep desktop towers and older audio gear in a separate pile. Remove obvious steel cases, then jar gold plated connectors and pins by type. Do not lose hours chasing tiny screws. Focus on boards, heavy cable, and visible metal. Keep receipts for appliance replacements so you can document coils and compressors. How to Sell to Yards Like a Pro Price check before you roll Call two or three local yards for prices on your top categories. Split loads when one yard is strong on copper and another is strong on aluminum. Ask for a printed price sheet and save it for your records. Present clean, consistent loads Group items by category. Motors with motors. Brass with brass. Remove obvious contaminants to avoid downgrades. Weigh bins at home. Use a bathroom scale and write the number on painter’s tape. Know when to walk away If a clean load is downgraded without cause, take it back and leave. Never cut or sell converters you do not own. Keep transactions clean and legal. Track prices over time. You will learn the rhythm of your local market. Timing matters, but do not obsess. If prices rise, great. If they dip, you still cleared space and turned junk into cash. The scoreboard is dollars in your pocket and a safer shop. Tools, Safety, and Setup Starter kit for smarter scrapping Strong magnet and handheld digital scale. Cut resistant gloves, safety glasses, and a wire brush. Hand truck, tarp, and sturdy bins labeled for each category. Notebook or phone log with dates, weights, prices, and the yard used. Safety and legal basics Batteries are heavy and corrosive. Use a buyer that accepts them and follow instructions. Refrigerants require licensed removal. Do not vent or cut into sealed systems. Paint on old metal can contain lead. If unsure, avoid grinding and ask your recycler. Keep invoices and repair paperwork for items like AC coils and radiators. A former firefighter treats scrapping like a weekly workout. One hour every Saturday, the same route, the same yard, and only sorted material. The routine keeps him safe and the cash predictable. Quick Price Math You Can Do in the Garage Estimate value in minutes Weigh each bin and jot down pounds on tape stuck to the lid. Multiply by the latest price per pound from your chosen yard. Subtract a small buffer for paint, screws, or moisture if a bin is not fully clean. Decide whether to strip wire by comparing insulated price to bare bright price and your time per pound. These simple estimates stop surprises at the scale and make you a better negotiator. Your yard will recognize a seller who knows their numbers. Frequently Asked Questions About Profitable Metals to Scrap Should I strip insulated copper wire? Strip if your yard pays a big premium for bare bright and you can process a pound quickly. If the insulation is thick and time is short, sell as is and keep moving. How clean is clean enough? Clean means no obvious screws, plastic, rubber, or wood. A quick pass with a screwdriver and wire brush often upgrades the grade and the payout. Do I need a professional spark test? Only perform spark tests if you have training and proper safety gear. When in doubt, sell unknown alloys as mixed and learn over time. What documents should I keep? Keep receipts for appliance and auto part replacements, plus your yard price sheets. Documentation speeds up intake and protects you and the buyer. Conclusion: The Most Profitable Metals to Scrap, Without the Hype The 23 most profitable metals to scrap are not lottery tickets. They are everyday materials that pay when you sort clean, keep records, and sell to the right yard. Focus on copper, brass, aluminum, stainless, and legitimate precious metal items you own. Batch similar items, weigh before you go, and present consistent loads. Stay safe, stay legal, and keep your process simple. If you work the plan, you turn clutter into steady cash and a cleaner, safer home, one smart load at a time. The post The 23 Most Profitable Metals to Scrap first appeared on American Bullion.

New technical analysis suggests that the Dogecoin price is teetering at a pivotal point that could dictate its trajectory for the coming months. According to a crypto analyst, the meme coin faces two stark possibilities: a massive bullish breakout that could catapult DOGE by 800% to a new peak of $1.82, followed by a potential crash that may drag the meme coin’s value below $0.1. Dogecoin Price To See Massive Rally Before Crash In an August 31 post on X social media, crypto analyst KrissPax announced that Dogecoin may be on the verge of a dramatic rally if historical price action and Fibonacci Extensions play out. He projected that DOGE could trade up to the 2.618 Fibonacci level this fall, which aligns with the $1.82 price mark. Such a bullish move would represent a remarkable 800% gain from the meme coin’s current value of roughly $0.218. KrissPax shared a chart showing multiple accumulation zones where Dogecoin held firm despite broader market corrections, indicating that long-term holders could be reinforcing price stability. Although the outlook points to an explosive upside potential for DOGE, the analyst also warned that a looming bearish scenario is still in play. Based on the chart’s trajectory, once Dogecoin hits the projected $1.82 all-time high, the meme coin could experience a steep crash toward $0.09 (0.236 Fibonacci retracement), revisiting its weakest levels since 2023. KrissPax referred to this zone as a “gift” in his chart, suggesting it may offer a chance to accumulate at lower prices. With the price now hovering near key resistance, Dogecoin appears to be approaching a decisive moment that could determine its next target. For investors, this presents a classic high-risk, high-reward setup that could offer strong gains to early accumulation ahead of a breakout or deliver significant losses if bearish pressure sends the meme coin plummeting. Moving forward, KrissPax indicated that Dogecoin’s current low price, relative to its previous peaks, could be an opportunity for traders to add to their portfolios. He warns that hesitating to buy at discounted levels could result in being left out when DOGE begins another steep climb. $0.23 Identified As Key Breakout Threshold In a separate X post, crypto market expert Ali Martinez shared his latest Dogecoin analysis, taking a more bullish stand. He pointed to a symmetrical triangle pattern forming on the Dogecoin 4-hour chart, where price action has been consolidating between tightening support and resistance lines. Based on his analysis, this type of formation often signals an impending breakout, with the direction ultimately determined by which boundary the pattern is breached. Martinez has identified $0.23 as the critical level to watch. If Dogecoin breaks above this threshold with convincing volume, it could trigger a fresh bullish rally toward higher resistance levels at $0.25, $0.28, and potentially $0.30. The analyst’s chart projection outlines a step-like ascent once the breakout is confirmed, suggesting a sustainable rally rather than an immediate spike.
