Gold extended its rally on Monday after last week’s economic data fueled expectations of monetary easing by the US Federal Reserve. Spot gold rose 0.3% to $3,372.48 per ounce as of 1:20 p.m. ET, near its highest in two weeks. US gold futures climbed 0.7% to $3,425.90 per ounce in New York. Click on chart for Live Prices The yellow metal has now risen for three straight sessions, as new US economic data signalled that a Fed rate cut may be on the cards next month, which bodes well for the non-yielding bullion. According to the CME FedWatch tool, traders now see an 86% chance of a September rate cut, up from just over 63% a week ago. “The odds are stronger now for a rate cut in September and even stronger for another rate cut in December. That, coupled with the headwinds of inflation, I think is pretty bullish for gold,” said Daniel Pavilonis, senior market strategist at RJO Futures. On the tariffs front, the levies placed last week on countries — including Canada, India and Brazil — are likely to stay in place rather than be cut as part of continuing negotiations, Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said in comments aired on Sunday. With the increased inflationary pressures from tariffs, analysts at Citigroup have raised their short-term outlook on gold, forecasting a price target of $3,600 an ounce within the next three months.

Bitcoin is trading just above the $112,000 level after breaking down from a consolidation range that held for over two weeks. The sharp decline sparked concerns among investors, particularly among Short-Term Holders (STH), who now face the difficult choice of realizing losses or holding underwater positions. However, top analyst Darkfost shared key insights suggesting that Bitcoin’s underlying demand remains robust, despite the price volatility. According to Darkfost, the Apparent Demand metric—comparing new BTC issuance to over one-year inactive supply—indicates that the market is still absorbing supply effectively. The ratio has stayed in positive territory, signaling that demand continues to outpace new issuance. Over the past 30 days, approximately 160,000 BTC have been accumulated, highlighting strong buying behavior even as prices corrected. While sentiment among STH has weakened due to the recent drawdown, long-term accumulation trends suggest the broader market structure remains healthy. Investors with longer time horizons are continuing to add to their positions, reflecting confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. As BTC stabilizes around $112K, market participants are closely watching for a potential reversal or a deeper correction, with demand-side indicators offering a more optimistic outlook for the weeks ahead. Demand from Accumulator Addresses and OTC Desks Signals Strong Conviction Darkfost also highlighted critical insights regarding Demand from Accumulator Addresses, a metric that tracks wallets that have only acquired Bitcoin without any history of selling. This indicator provides a clear view into both the demand dynamics and the holding conviction of long-term investors. Over the past month, the average BTC accumulated by these addresses has grown by approximately 50,000 BTC, showcasing a consistent and determined buying trend, despite recent price corrections. Such behavior underscores the confidence of long-term holders who are taking advantage of market dips to strengthen their positions. On a broader horizon, BTC held on OTC Desks reflects a more strategic and long-term demand pattern. Unlike exchange-based activity, OTC transactions are less visible in immediate price action but offer a window into the intentions of institutional players. Since September 2021, the supply of BTC on OTC desks has dropped sharply, from around 550,000 BTC to just 145,000 BTC today. This significant decline indicates that large-scale buyers are consistently removing Bitcoin from OTC circulation, reducing the available supply for future institutional entrants. Whether examining short-term accumulation or long-term OTC trends, the overall demand-side picture remains notably positive. Despite recent volatility and a wave of short-term profit-taking, there are no major signs of structural weakness from demand-side indicators. Bitcoin Faces Key Resistance After Rebounding from Local Lows Bitcoin is currently trading at $114,476, showing signs of stabilization after a sharp drop to $111,971 earlier this week. The chart shows BTC still hovering below the crucial $115,724 resistance, which aligns with the lower boundary of the previous consolidation range. The 50-day SMA sits at $100,228, providing a solid technical base, while the 100-day SMA at $95,433 remains a key medium-term support zone. The 200-day SMA is rising steadily at $77,282, confirming the long-term bullish trend. Despite the recent volatility, Bitcoin’s price structure still suggests a bullish outlook as long as BTC maintains higher lows above the $110K level. However, the $122,077 resistance remains a critical barrier. Breaking above this level would signal a strong bullish continuation towards new highs. Volume activity has been decreasing during this retracement, which is a positive sign, indicating that selling pressure is not overwhelming. If BTC can reclaim the $115,724 zone in the coming sessions, it would increase the probability of another breakout attempt towards $122K. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Hedera Hashgraph has just taken a decisive step that could redefine its market positioning and the performance of HBAR price action: the network has officially joined the ERC3643 standard, a framework designed to unify on-chain identity, compliance, and tokenized asset issuance. This surprise move ties Hedera into the T-REX Protocol ecosystem, which already underpins billions of dollars in compliant security tokens across Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains – a significant step for HBAR’s sustained institutional adoption. For context, ERC3643 is not just another token standard. Unlike ERC20 or ERC721, it was explicitly built for regulated securities markets with embedded compliance, KYC/AML controls, and transfer restrictions directly into token smart contracts. By adopting it, Hedera has effectively opened its infrastructure to the institutional-grade tokenization market, a segment projected to grow into the trillions of dollars by the end of this decade. How Will ERC3642 Boost HBAR Price? (Source) The strategic significance is twofold for HBAR holders. First, it grants Hedera enhanced institutional legitimacy. Now, Hedera has long marketed itself as the enterprise-grade blockchain alternative. However, integrating ERC3643 gives that substance, with the introduction of compliance rails that institutional investors and asset managers demand, from private equity to real estate and tokenized funds. However, beyond this, it also introduces a new era of interoperability and deepened liquidity. As ERC3643 already runs across Ethereum ecosystems, Hedera can now tap into cross-chain liquidity pools and establish itself as a viable host for security tokens. This reduces Hedera’s previous isolation and positions HBAR as a potential settlement asset in a broader financial stack. If adoption accelerates, the implications for HBAR’s valuation are obvious: increased demand for Hedera-native tokens will drive utility, and utility will drive HBAR price growth. Simply put, ERC3643 integration lowers the barrier for traditional financial institutions to build on Hedera, a catalyst that could ignite a sharp rise for HBAR in the coming months. DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in August 2025 HBAR Price Analysis: Is Hedera Priming For a Retest of All-Time High? As Hedera breaks ground with the ERC3642 integration, HBAR price is in substantial consolidation, following a triple test of lower support above $0.22. Now trading at a current market price of $0.251 (representing a 24-hour change of +0.94%), the HBAR price sits above both a key psychological reclaim ($0.25) and the steadfast support of the 200-DMA ($0.20). (HBARUSDT) While the HBAR price has been able to break out of the disastrous ‘McDonalds pattern’ following these rejections, caution remains amongst traders following the tough double-rejection at resistance around $0.30—thus denoting the key local resistance level to watch. Any break above this level would almost certainly give way to a retest of the ATH around $0.40, yet, such a substantial move, while bolstered by the ERC3642 integration, would need to be accompanied by significant movement in Bitcoin, followed by a steep drop off in BTC.d. For now, the RSI indicator illuminates a likely path to a $0.30 retest following the boost in fundamentals, with a current reading at 53 suggesting a reasonable degree of upside is on the cards this week.

China is limiting its flow of critical minerals to Western defense manufacturers, leading to significant production delays and sharp price spikes, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday. Beijing controls over 90% of the world’s supply of rare earth elements used a myriad of military technologies, including jet-fighter magnets, infrared sensors, drone motors and precision munitions. According to the WSJ, citing sources, the Chinese government is now refusing or delaying exports of minerals designated for such applications, and has introduced measures to enforce its control by requiring exporters to submit documentation — such as product or production-line photos — as proof of their civilian end‑use. The new restrictions, which came despite trade concessions made with the US in recent weeks, have pushed some defense manufacturers into crisis, the WSJ said. In one case, a US drone component firm faced production delays of up to two months while seeking rare earth magnets from non-Chinese sources. Meanwhile, samarium—a rare earth used in high‑temperature magnets for jet‑fighter engines—is being offered at as much as 60 times its typical price. Defense businesses warn that stockpiles of non-rare earths such as germanium, gallium and antimony are also running dangerously low. One executive noted that his firm is now down to “safety stock.” Some suppliers now hold only a few months’ inventory, exposing even larger firms to disruption, the WSJ noted. US response The Chinese restrictions highlight the significant chokehold Beijing has on the global supply of critical minerals, which it used to its advantage in trade negotiations with the US. An assessment this year by the International Energy Agency showed that China leads the refining for 19 of 20 critical minerals, with an average market share of around 70%. To counter China’s dominance, the US Department of Defense has mandated that firms cease purchasing China‑sourced rare earth magnets by 2027. As part of its efforts to diversify the supply chain, the Pentagon recently made a sizeable investment in MP Materials, the only rare earths producer in the country, with the aim of scaling up domestic production of magnets to meet long-term demand. Analysts say the deal, which guarantees MP a minimum price for its rare earth production at nearly twice the market rate, should have positive implications for producers, but may hurt customers in the short term. “This benchmark is now a new centre of gravity in the industry that will pull prices up,” Ryan Castilloux, managing director of consultancy Adamas Intelligence, told Reuters earlier this month. David Merriman, research director at consultancy Project Blue, said it remains “unclear how commercial industrial consumers would respond to higher prices” and “whether it would make them invest in rare earths as they have more diverse supply sources.” Others have also cautioned that scaling up the production of rare earths may take years.

Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto has advised XRP investors not to panic as they make their next move in the market. This came as he revealed levels to watch out for as the altcoin retraces alongside the broader crypto market. Analyst Advises XRP Investors Amid Market Correction In an X post, Egrag Crypto told XRP investors, especially the newbies, that they should not let fear dictate their next moves. The analyst also commented on the current price action, stating that investors will see where the market settles by the end of the day. In line with this, he revealed levels that investors should keep an eye on. The crypto analyst stated that if the XRP price maintains closures above $2.80, then it is still in a super bullish position. Furthermore, he claimed that a close near $2.65 keeps the altcoin within a strong structural formation. Meanwhile, Egrag Crypto also raised the possibility of a wick down to $2.34, which would represent a 30% retracement. Whatever happens, the analyst is still confident that the altcoin will rally to higher prices at some point. As such, he advised XRP investors to stay steady and strong, stating that they should soon fly, indicating another parabolic rally was on the horizon. However, in the short term, a steeper price correction might occur, according to crypto analyst Ali Martinez. In an X post, the analyst said that the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio flashed a death cross for XRP, suggesting that a steeper correction could be underway. His accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could drop to the psychological $2 price level on this decline. In another X post, Ali Martinez said that the on-chain data shows that past accumulation behavior points to $2.80 being a temporary buffer for XRP. Meanwhile, the real support begins below $2.48. Long-Term Update For The Altcoin In an X post, Egrag Crypto provided an update on his analysis of XRP’s 6-month chart. He noted that the altcoin has just less than five months left until this candle closes. Based on this, he questioned whether it can still make history by breaking the chasm of whether the top might already be in. However, the analyst believes that the market top isn’t in and that the last leg for the XRP price is still imminent, something he claimed would be “epic.” Egrag Crypto stated that the Non-Log Scale measured move puts the altcoin at a market top of around $4.89. On the other hand, the Log Scale measured move shows a market top of $48.90. The analyst noted that he is adopting an average approach between the two targets. As such, he sees XRP reaching at least $27. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.97, up almost 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Most Read: Markets Weekly Outlook – US Services PMI, Bank of England rate decision and Canadian/NZ Employment Oil prices continued their slide from the back end of last week as the rumors about an OPEC + output hike were confirmed on the weekend. WTI Oil hit a daily low around the 65.44 handle before bouncing to trade at 66.68 at the time of writing. Is the OPEC + Production Hike a Strategy Play? OPEC + have for the best part of the last 4 years since the Covid pandemic stuck to the line of ‘price stability’. However since the election of US President Donald Trump who pledged lower Oil prices and urged American companies to drill even more, they appear to have pivoted strategies. Looking in from the outside, the output hikes this year have been largely down to an attempt at gaining a greater market share as fears rose that Oil prices may fall. A few months ago, it would have been bold to predict that OPEC+ could increase oil production by 2.5 million barrels per day and still keep prices steady at around $70 a barrel. The eight OPEC+ members met online on Sunday and agreed to increase oil production by 547,000 barrels per day (bpd) for September. This adds to earlier increases of 548,000 bpd in August, 411,000 bpd in May, June, and July, and 138,000 bpd in April, which started the process of reversing their voluntary production cuts. OPEC+ said these increases were justified by a strong global economy and low oil supplies. However, this claim is questionable, as demand in Asia, the largest oil-importing region, has been weak. Asia's oil imports dropped to 25.0 million bpd in July, down from 27.88 million bpd in June, marking the lowest monthly total since July last year, according to LSEG Oil Research. China, the world's biggest oil importer, has been buying more oil recently, but this is likely due to lower prices when the shipments for June and July were arranged. Additionally, China has probably been building up its oil reserves quickly. While China doesn't share inventory data, it had a surplus of 1.06 million bpd in the first half of 2025 after accounting for domestic production and imports versus refinery use. Source: LSEG In my humble opinion, it could be either a combination of luck and good timing or outstanding strategy that every OPEC + hike has come at a time when risks to the Oil market have been supporting prices. The current hike comes just as the US has announced trade deals which had at least to some degree quelled market fears around slower demand in H2 2025. This may or may not be the case but for now, OPEC + appears to be winning. BP Makes Largest Oil and Gas Discovery in 25 Years BP announced on Monday that it has made its biggest oil and gas discovery in 25 years off the coast of Brazil. This is a major win for the company as it shifts its focus back to fossil fuels after moving away from renewable energy. The discovery, called Bumerangue, is expected to become a key production hub for BP. A spokesperson said it’s likely BP’s largest find since the Shah Deniz gas field in the Caspian Sea in 1999. By 11:07 GMT, BP’s shares rose 1.3%, outperforming the broader European energy index, which was up just 0.1%. BP acquired the Bumerangue block in deep waters of Brazil’s Santos basin in December 2022 under favorable terms. Initial findings show high levels of carbon dioxide in the block, but BP said more analysis and further drilling in Brazil will provide a clearer picture of its potential. Looking Ahead Oil prices appear to be in a consolidation phase for now. A breakout appeared to be on the cards last week but the lack of follow through on trade deals between the US and trading partners remains a stumbling block. The recent disagreements between the US-India and news that the US-EU trade deal may not be done are adding complications to a potential Oil rally and will need to be monitored in the coming days. Any moves against Russian Oil by the Trump administration may also becomes an area of focus in the days ahead. Technical Analysis - WTI From a technical analysis standpoint, Oil continues is back at the 100-day MA having consolidated between the 100 and 200-day MA for the majority of July before a breakout last week. The breakout however proved to be short-lived as rumors began to swirl around a possible OPEC + output hike which came to fruition over the weekend. The outlook moving forward remains complex for now and a move higher may struggle to break above last week's highs at 70.50. For now, immediate resistance is provided by the 200-day MA at 68.04 before last weeks highs at 70.50 and swing high in March around 71.38 come into play. On the downside we have support at the 66.15 area before the 100-day MA at 65.18 comes into focus.

How Much Do Gold Coins Weigh? Weights by Purity, Size, and Mint Specs Here is the clear answer in plain English: when a gold coin says “1 oz,” it refers to one troy ounce of pure gold content, not always the coin’s total weight on a scale. Pure (24 karat) one-ounce coins usually weigh close to 31.103 grams total. Alloyed (22 karat) one-ounce coins still contain a full troy ounce of gold, but they add a small amount of copper and/or silver for durability, so their total weight is higher. Understanding this difference removes confusion and helps you verify your coins with confidence. Quick Answer: Troy Ounces vs. Regular Ounces Gold is measured in troy ounces, not the everyday grocery-store ounce (avoirdupois). One troy ounce equals about 31.103 grams. One avoirdupois ounce equals about 28.35 grams. That gap matters. When you see “1 oz” on a bullion coin, it means the coin contains one troy ounce of gold. The total weight you see on a kitchen scale can be higher if the coin’s purity is 22 karat rather than 24 karat. Think of it like this: the label promises a precise amount of gold content. The mint may add a pinch of other metals to toughen the coin against scratches, which nudges the total weight upward without changing the gold you own. Purity, Karats, and Why “1 Ounce” Can Weigh More Than One Ounce Purity is shown as karats or fineness. Twenty-four karat typically means .999 or .9999 fine gold. Twenty-two karat means .9167 fine, with the rest usually copper and silver. A 24k “1 oz” coin tends to weigh about 31.1 grams total. A 22k “1 oz” coin still contains a full troy ounce of gold, but its total weight is closer to the mid-33-gram range because of the alloy. Value is driven by the gold content; the extra alloy is simply there for strength. A quick anecdote: a reader weighed a “1 oz” coin and saw more than 31 grams. He assumed a problem. In reality, his coin was 22k—designed to include one full troy ounce of gold plus a little alloy. The scale was correct, the coin was correct, and the label was accurate. Popular 1 oz Gold Coins: What They Weigh and What They Contain Common 24k (pure) one-ounce coins American Gold Buffalo — contains 1 troy oz of gold; typical total weight about 31.1 g; .9999 fine. Canadian Maple Leaf — contains 1 troy oz of gold; typical total weight about 31.1 g; .9999 fine; widely recognized. Britannia (recent issues) — contains 1 troy oz of gold; typical total weight about 31.1 g; .9999 fine; modern security features. Vienna Philharmonic — contains 1 troy oz of gold; typical total weight about 31.1 g; .9999 fine; European favorite. Common 22k one-ounce coins American Gold Eagle — contains 1 troy oz of gold; total weight about 33.9 g; .9167 fine; alloyed for durability. South African Krugerrand — contains 1 troy oz of gold; total weight about 33.9 g; .9167 fine; classic global bullion coin. Notice the pattern: 24k one-ounce coins cluster near 31.1 grams total; 22k one-ounce coins are heavier because of the added alloy. Both deliver the same gold content. Fractional Gold Coins: 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz Fractionals exist for flexibility. They contain exactly what the size says in troy ounces of gold; total weight varies with purity just as it does for 1 oz coins. 1/2 oz — contains 0.5 troy oz of gold; a 24k piece lands near 15.55 g total, with 22k versions weighing a bit more. 1/4 oz — contains 0.25 troy oz of gold; again, 24k sits lower in total grams than a 22k counterpart. 1/10 oz — contains 0.10 troy oz of gold; popular starter size, though premiums per ounce are usually higher. There are specialty sizes too: 1 gram, 2 oz, 5 oz, 10 oz, even kilo pieces. They are legitimate products but less common; most buyers stick to the standard fractional sizes for simplicity and liquidity. How Much Do Gold Coins Weigh? Dimensions, Density, and Feel in the Hand Two coins with the same gold content can feel different. Why? Density and dimensions. Alloy affects density, and mints choose diameters and thicknesses that balance durability, anti-counterfeiting features, and aesthetics. As a result, one-ounce bullion coins often measure roughly 30–33 mm in diameter and about 2–3 mm in thickness, but exact specs vary by mint and series. Focus on the whole picture: gold content, total weight, diameter, thickness, and design features. If those match the mint’s published specifications, you are in good shape. At-Home Verification: Simple Tools, Quick Checks You do not need a lab to sanity-check a coin. A few inexpensive tools go a long way: Digital scale that reads to 0.01 g for total weight. Caliper for diameter and thickness measurements. Small magnet — gold is not magnetic; a strong attraction is a red flag. Optional “ping” test — pure coins ring longer, alloyed coins have a shorter note; use as a secondary check. Run three quick steps: weigh the coin, measure diameter and thickness, and check for magnetism. Compare against the official specs for that coin and purity. If two or more readings are far off, pause and consult a reputable dealer before proceeding. Premiums and Liquidity: Why Size and Brand Matter Premiums are what you pay above the spot price. Smaller coins usually carry higher premiums per ounce because they cost more to manufacture and distribute per unit of gold. Larger coins (and bars) tend to have lower premiums per ounce, but bars may be less liquid than widely recognized sovereign coins when you sell. One-ounce coins strike a useful balance for many buyers: close tracking to spot, strong global recognition, and easy storage in tubes. Fractionals add flexibility—handy if you want to sell in smaller increments—but expect to pay a bit more per ounce for that convenience. As for brands, stick with major sovereign mints when possible: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Austria, South Africa, and others with well-known series. Broad recognition boosts liquidity, which can make selling faster and simpler. What If Your Scale Shows Something Odd? Do not panic if a reading is off by a few hundredths of a gram. Re-zero the scale, check the batteries, and measure again on a flat, stable surface. Ensure the coin is dry and free of debris. Then consider purity: a 22k “1 oz” coin should weigh well above 31.1 g because of alloy; that is expected. If you are testing a 24k “1 oz” coin and readings seem way off, cross-check diameter and thickness against official specs. If multiple measurements are inconsistent, stop and seek a second opinion from a reputable dealer. Avoid harsh chemicals or aggressive scratch tests that can damage the coin and reduce its resale value. Special Cases: Proofs, Commemoratives, and Vintage Gold Proof coins are collector versions with mirror-like finishes. The gold content matches the size (1 oz, 1/2 oz, etc.), but packaging adds weight if you place the whole box on a scale. Commemoratives and limited runs sometimes come in unusual sizes like 2 oz, 5 oz, or even 1 kilogram; they are legitimate but less common for everyday stacking. Vintage coins—especially older European or Latin American issues—may have purities below 22k and unique dimensions. Their gold content is well documented. If you collect them, study each coin’s specifications before buying so weight, fineness, and dimensions do not catch you off guard. Storage and Handling: Protect the Value You Paid For Scratches do not change the gold content, but they can change a buyer’s willingness to pay top dollar. Use capsules or mint tubes, handle coins by the edges, and avoid polishing or abrasive cleaning. Keep storage areas dry, label tubes by size and year, and track holdings in a simple spreadsheet. Shipping requires care: use discreet packaging and insurance, retain documentation, and verify contents on arrival. Many buyers weigh sealed tubes or boxes first to understand a baseline before checking coins individually against published specifications. Frequently Asked Questions Why do some “1 oz” coins weigh about 33.9 g? Those are typically 22k coins. They contain one full troy ounce of gold plus a small amount of copper and/or silver for durability, raising total weight. Is a 24k coin “better” than a 22k coin? Neither is universally better. Twenty-four karat coins maximize purity; 22k coins maximize toughness. Both carry one troy ounce of gold when labeled “1 oz” and both are widely tradable. Does the exact diameter matter? It matters for verification. Each coin type has known specs. If weight, diameter, and thickness match the mint’s data and the coin passes basic checks, you are likely fine. Conclusion: The Bottom Line on Gold Coin Weight When someone asks, “How much do gold coins weigh?” remember the key: “1 oz” refers to one troy ounce of gold content—about 31.103 grams—not necessarily the coin’s total weight. Pure 24k one-ounce coins tend to sit near 31.1 g, while 22k one-ounce coins weigh more because of alloy, though both contain the same gold. Fractional coins scale the content down, and the same purity rules apply. Verify with a decent scale, a caliper, and common sense. Stick with recognized mints for liquidity. Keep your coins protected so they stay attractive when it is time to sell. With these basics, you can buy, verify, and store your gold with confidence.

Today's session is seeing some recovery flows form the catastrophic Equity performance after Friday's NFP miss. The session is empty of any major economic release and for now, the lack of geopolitical influences and continuation from Friday's risk-off moves has helped mean-reverters to bring some buying in Equities. Our analysis from Friday pointed towards prices touching the lower bound of the upward channel in Nasdaq for example and the index is actually leading its US peers (currently up +1.40%) as tech shines again in today's session, led by Microsoft and Nvidia. The Dow Jones is also up above 1% as we speak but testing some key levels. Let's take a look at these in a multi-timeframe analysis of the Index. Read More: Gold close to $3,400 maintains a picture of hesitancy in risk-assetsDow Jones Technical AnalysisDow Jones Daily Chart (CFD) Dow Jones Daily Chart, August 4, 2025 – Source: TradingView The Dow has found some dip buyers at the 50-Day Moving Average as the mood hasn't dampened further (for now) and participants are still weighing the good earnings season. Risk-assets can also see some fundamental relief as Markets are still heavily pricing a September cut which would be supporting Equities further as FED Speakers like Bostic start to mention the narrative of the Mandate turning towards Risks to the Economy. There has been some precedents however of markets rallying until the first cut like in 2001 and 2007 – But traders should be focusing on the present course of action (while preparing their scenarios for future action). Some levels to keep on your charts: Resistance Levels Thursday Lows Resistance 44,100 to 44,500All-time high resistance zone around 45,000Support Levels Current Pivot 43,500 to 43,750 (supported by 50-Day MA at 43,557)43,000 Main Support Zone42,000 June post-war SupportDow Jones 4H Chart Dow Jones 4H Chart, August 4, 2025 – Source: TradingView The ongoing rebound has been surprising to say the least, but buyers are now facing resistance at a confluence of the Thursday lows (around 44,100 CFD – 44,050 on actual index) and the 4H MA 200 (44,063). Buyers will want to hold current levels and break above to maintain the short-term momentum to avoid the ongoing action continuing the lower highs formation that have started appearing. RSI Momentum is not oversold anymore, leaving some flexibility for movement. Watch for individual stock performances for names like Walmart, Costco or McDonalds (who are reporting their earnings on Wednesday) to spot if the appetite for Equities is widespread or lifted upwards by tech. For now only Amazon is struggling. Dow Jones 1H Chart Dow Jones 1H Chart, August 4, 2025 – Source: TradingView Buyers have somehow recovered all the selling from Friday's entire session (encompassing the overnight Futures highs). But the action is now showing mixed signs as we approach the mid-session bell – The current 1H candle is showing a doji around the 44,100 resistance Zone (+/- 20 points). We are trading at a key level. For a more precise bull/bear strength outlook, you can also watch the 50% Fib (from the down-move) as resistance – Breaking above gives even more momentum to bulls. The level for the 0.50 is 44,235 on the CFD and 44,143 on the index. Same for the 0.618 Fib as Support – Breaking below regives the hand to the sellers towards a more bearish momentum. The level for the 61.8% Fib is 44,021 on the CFD and 43,953 on the actual index. Safe Trades!

Bitcoin is walking a fine line again. After sliding for six straight trading sessions, the world’s largest cryptocurrency bounced back from a key support level around $114,432. That small rebound is catching attention, but it’s not enough to suggest a strong rally is around the corner. Labor Data Fuels Fed Speculation Recent economic data in the US isn’t helping much. Reports showed that job growth came in weaker than expected, with the unemployment rate rising to 4.2%. Average hourly wages only went up by 0.3%, pointing to a cooling labor market. These numbers are adding weight to the idea that the Federal Reserve might soon hit pause on interest rate hikes—or even lower them. That possibility matters a lot for assets like Bitcoin, which tend to do better when borrowing is cheaper and liquidity is high. A shift in central bank policy could push more institutional investors back into the market. But for now, the mood is cautious. While some investors are quietly adding to their positions, many are waiting to see what the central bank does next. ETF Inflows Show Mixed Signals Bitcoin ETFs in the US saw strong demand in June and July. Based on figures from MarketWatch, total inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs crossed the $50 billion mark by mid-July. That’s a big milestone. It shows that Bitcoin is no longer just a niche interest—it’s part of how big institutions think about their portfolios. Meanwhile, global tension continues to push some investors toward Bitcoin. Rising unrest in the Middle East, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, and China’s tightening grip on trade and key supplies are all reasons why people are looking for assets that sit outside government control. Bitcoin, while not as trusted as gold just yet, is increasingly seen as a backup plan. Bitcoin’s Support Still Holds Above $100K Despite the shaky short-term action, Bitcoin still looks stronger under the hood. On-chain data shows that more holders are staying in for the long haul. At the same time, there’s less borrowing for risky trades. These trends suggest the market is shifting away from hype and moving toward value-based buying. As long as Bitcoin stays above $100,000, analysts believe the larger trend is still intact. Pullbacks, like the one this month, could just be part of a bigger pattern. If the Fed makes a dovish move later this year, a fresh wave of capital could come in by the fourth quarter. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

The Swiss franc gained 1% against the US dollar last week and has extended its gains on Monday. In the North American session, USD/CHF is trading at 0.8079, up 0.48% on the day. Swiss inflation flat in July Switzerland's inflation rate was unchanged in July, above the market estimate of -0.2% but below the June reading of 0.2%. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy rose from 0.8% in July, up from 0.6%, in June and its highest level in four months. The Swiss National Bank has cut rates aggressively as inflation as eased. The central bank has lowered rates for six consecutive meetings and cut the cash rate to zero in June. SNB President Martin Schlegel has said that the Bank would prefer not to reintroduce negative rates but if inflation falls the Bank would likely return to negative rates. The SNB is also concerned after US President Trump announced that the US will slap 39% tariffs on Switzerland as of Aug. 7, which will hurt the export-reliant Swiss economy. If economic data shows that the tariffs are hurting the economy, the SNB could respond by lowering rates into negative territory. US nonfarm payrolls misses estimate The week ended with a softer-than-expected US jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls for July rose by only 73 thousand, missing the market estimate of 110 thousand. Making things worse, the June and May reports were both revised sharply lower, down by a combined 258 thousand. The unemployment rate ticked higher to 4.2%, up from 4.1%. The weak numbers support the case for the Fed to lower interest rates at the next rate meeting in September. The likelihood of a cut has climbed to 75%, compared to 63% on Thursday. The latest NFP figures should save as a wake-up call that the labor market may be in more trouble than previously anticipated. USD/CHF Technical USD/CHF has pushed above resistance at 0.8052 and is testing resistance at 0.8074.

Markets are still rattling about the crazy Friday trading, post-Non-Farm Payrolls. Equities were trading in paradise territory after a streak of positive US Data (that caught Markets off-guard, Participants were expecting worse data due to tariffs). But the picture quickly reversed, and markets were starting to trade mostly risk-on in many of the sessions prior to Friday, taking Stocks to Greed territory (on the Fear-Greed Index). Risk-assets took a beating after the miss (and particularly from the downward revisions for the past few months of data, taking the three-month average for NFP at 35K! There is some ongoing-mean reversion to Friday's huge selloffs in risk-assets and now our task is to take a look at the big picture to see if the flight-to-safety is just starting or already priced in. Let's take a look at the broad market before attacking the Gold Technical Analysis. Read More: Markets Weekly Outlook – US Services PMI, Bank of England rate decision and Canadian/NZ Employment Global look at the Markets, August 4, 2025 – Source: TradingView On the daily picture, we see that despite Indices opening higher on mean-reversion trading, both Bonds, Gold are also up on the session while Bitcoin stays mixed, below Friday morning levels and Oil is getting sold off aggressively (from fears of lower economic activity). Despite some banks calling to buy-the-dip (like Morgan Stanley), the time would be more appropriate for caution as there is still about a month-and-a-half period before the next FOMC and a lot of key data expected to get released in the meantime. Gold multi-timeframe Technical AnalysisGold Daily Chart Gold Daily Chart, August 4, 2025 – Source: TradingView After Friday trading, the picture looks very different from our last analysis on Gold that saw some exhaustion from Bulls and led to a consequent (and short-lived) break below $3,300 – A key mark for immediate bull/bear strength. Momentum also went from slightly bearish to slightly bullish (with the RSI repassing above the middle lign) and with prices repassing above the 50-Day MA, there is another chance for bulls to regain control of the action. Repassing above the 2025 upwards trendline would give them full control, while failing to do so would show a more balanced outlook, still giving some chance to sellers to step in. Gold 4H Chart Gold 4H Chart, August 4, 2025 – Source: TradingView Traders are testing the broken 2025 upwards trendline and reactions will be very interesting here, particularly as this may help participants to decide the appetite for risk or lack thereof for this week. The price action is currently above the middle of the $3,280 to the $3,420 range – Look at the $3,350 to $3,375 Pivot Zone. The overnight/morning session buying is seeing a small break marking daily highs at $3,385 – Current trading will be essential to watch. Consolidating around here without retracements gives more chances for bulls to hold their hand, while rejecting the levels would point to some bearish continuation. Gold 1H Chart Gold 1H Chart, August 4, 2025 – Source: TradingView Current action on the 1H Charts shows that bulls did break above the 2025 upwards trendline – The rest is to see if they manage to hold current trading levels despite overbought conditions. Any retracement would still not mark imminent bearish control as long as prices hold above the $3,350 Pivot Zone, different story if there is a daily close below. This week should be exiting for traders, get ready. Safe Trades!

The Australian dollar has extended its gains on Monday. In the North American session, AUD/USD is trading at 0.6483 up 0.22% on the day. The US dollar made inroads last week against all the major currencies except the yen and gained 1.5% against the Australian dollar. Australian MI inflation gauge jumps 0.9% Australia's Melbourne Institute inflation guage soared 0.9% m/m in July, up sharply from 0.1% in June and marking the highest rise since Dec. 2023. The MI gauge, which provides a monthly guide to consumer inflation (official CPI is published quarterly), will no doubt raise concerns at the Reserve Bank of Australia, which has been cautious about cutting rates due to inflation worries. Last week, CPI for the second quarter eased to 1.9%, down from 2.2% in Q1 and just below the central bank's target of 2%-3%. This cements a rate cut at the Aug. 12 meeting, after the RBA shocked the markets last month when it held rates. The markets had widely priced in a rate cut but the RBA defended its non-move, saying it wanted to see additional inflation data. US nonfarm payrolls misses estimate The week ended with a softer-than-expected US employment report. Nonfarm payrolls for July rose by only 73 thousand, missing the market estimate of 110 thousand. Adding to the bad news, the June and May reports were both revised sharply lower, down by a combined 258 thousand. The unemployment rate ticked higher to 4.2%, up from 4.1%. The weak July reading and the downward revisions indicate that the labor market may be cooling more quickly than initially anticipated. The weak numbers support the case for the Fed to lower interest rates at the next rate meeting in September. The likelihood of a cut has climbed to 75%, compared to 63% on Thursday. The soft jobs report should serve as a wake-up call regarding the effect of US tariffs on the economy, as the employment picture is worse than previously thought.

Bitcoin is currently trading at critical levels after a sharp decline to the $112,000 zone, sparking panic among investors who fear this could mark the beginning of a broader bear market. After weeks of tight consolidation, the sudden drop has triggered concerns of a deeper correction, especially as short-term holders (STH) are forced to either realize losses or hold underwater positions. However, not all analysts are sounding the alarm. Top analyst Axel Adler argues that while the market is experiencing typical late-stage bull cycle behavior, the broader uptrend remains intact. Adler points out that as bull markets mature, investor risk appetite naturally decreases, leading to increased profit-taking and short-term selling pressure. This creates temporary headwinds but doesn’t necessarily signal a trend reversal. Long-term holders (LTH) remain in solid profit territory, showing no signs of capitulation. Their conviction continues to provide foundational support for Bitcoin’s price structure. This is a normal phase in bull markets, where short-term volatility shakes out weaker hands before continuation. Bitcoin Harmonic Mean of NUPL and MVRV Signals Cycle Maturity According to Adler, the Bitcoin Harmonic Mean of NUPL (Net Unrealized Profit/Loss) and MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) reveals a clear shift in investor behavior as the bull cycle matures. Adler’s data shows that in March and December 2024, this combined metric peaked above 1.9, marking periods of strong market conviction where investors continued holding despite elevated profit margins. However, the current readings show a noticeable decline, with the harmonic mean forming a lower peak, signaling that holders are becoming more inclined to realize profits rather than hold through new price surges. Adler points out that each rally now brings a smaller marginal premium to holders’ cost basis, which translates into increasing selling pressure as the market struggles to sustain higher valuations. This does not mean the bull market is over, but it does indicate that investor risk appetite is diminishing. Profit-taking activity is gradually outweighing the influx of new demand, which could cap future rallies. Nevertheless, Adler expects two more significant rallies in this cycle, driven by macro catalysts such as the anticipated two Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year. These events could reignite market momentum and push Bitcoin to new highs. However, Adler warns that after these final pushes, selling pressure from long-term holders may outweigh fresh demand, leading the market into a broader correction phase. Price Analysis: Testing Resistance After Breakdown Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $114,690, attempting to recover after a sharp breakdown below the $115,724 support, now acting as resistance. The daily chart shows BTC forming a modest rebound after reaching a local low of $112,200, with price action consolidating around the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $112,218. This moving average provided strong support during the recent correction, preventing a deeper decline towards the $110K zone. The next critical level to watch is the $115,724 resistance. A daily close above this level would signal a potential reclaim of the previous range, increasing the probability of a retest of the $122,077 local high. However, if BTC fails to break this level convincingly, it could indicate that bears are still in control, leading to a possible retest of the 50-day SMA support. Volume remains subdued compared to previous rallies, suggesting a lack of strong buying momentum. The 100-day SMA at $107,926 and the 200-day SMA at $99,345 remain key dynamic support levels should further downside pressure emerge. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

On-chain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence recently uncovered the biggest crypto hack ever. The hack involved stolen Bitcoin worth $3.5 billion at the time, now worth $14 billion, which is larger than the $1.5 billion Bybit hack this year. Arkham Intelligence Unveils $14 Billion Hack on Chinese Mining Pool LuBian In an X post, Arkham revealed that it had uncovered a $3.5 billion Bitcoin heist, the largest ever. This hack was on LuBian, which was a Chinese mining pool with facilities in China and Iran. The analytics platform stated that 127,426 BTC appears to have been stolen from LuBian in December 2020. These coins, which were worth $3.5 billion at the time, are now valued at $14.5 billion based on the current Bitcoin price. Furthermore, the platform noted that neither LuBian nor the hacker has publicly acknowledged the hack since it took place in 2020. At the time, the Chinese firm was one of the world’s largest mining pools, controlling almost 6% of the Bitcoin network’s total hash rate as of May 2020. Arkham revealed that the mining pool appears to have been first hacked on December 28, 2020, for over 90% of its BTC. The hacker subsequently stole around $6 million worth of BTC and USDT on December 29 from a LuBian address that was active on the Bitcoin Omni layer. On December 31, LuBian then rotated its remaining funds to recovery wallets. This hack trumps the Bybit hack of $1.5 billion, which occurred on February 21 earlier this year. Unlike the LuBian hack, which involved Bitcoin, hackers stole over 400,000 ETH from Bybit’s cold wallets through social engineering. As a result, the hackers were able to authorize these transfers despite the wallets being multisig. Attempts To Recover The Stolen Bitcoin Arkham also revealed that LuBian had made attempts to recover the stolen Bitcoin by contacting the hacker. The Chinese mining pool had sent OP_RETURN messages, in which it asked the hacker to return their funds. The analytics platform stated that the firm spent 1.4 BTC across 1516 different transactions to send these messages. Arkham claimed that the messages suggest that this was not a spoof from another hacker who had brute-forced the private keys. This appears to have been how LuBian was hacked in the first place, as the mining pool is said to have been using an algorithm to generate private keys that were susceptible to brute-force attacks. Arkham revealed that LuBian still holds 11,886 BTC, currently worth around $1.35 billion. Meanwhile, the hacker still holds the stolen Bitcoin, which they are known to have last consolidated in another wallet in July 2024. Thanks to Bitcoin’s surge over the years, the LuBian hacker is now the 13th largest BTC holder based on Arkham data, ahead of the Mt. Gox hacker.

In a warning to the UK government, former Finance Minister George Osborne said that Britain may be “left behind” in the global crypto race. According to a Financial Times report published on 4 August 2025, Osborne said, “Britain missed the first crypto wave. We can’t miss the second.” “We became the world’s financial center because we weren’t afraid of change,” said Osborne. “On crypto and stablecoins, as on too many other things, the hard truth is this: we’re being completely left behind. It’s time to catch up.” Osborne drew parallels to the transformative “Big Bank” of the 1980’s. He urged for immediate and decisive action to prevent the UK from missing out on what he terms “a historic opportunity in financial innovation.” Read More: UK Minister Calls For Ban On Political Donations Made In Crypto: Says “Funding Of Democracy Is Controversial Area” Meanwhile, UK Minister Calls For Ban On Political Donations Made In Crypto UK Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden recently questioned political donations made in crypto. According to a Guardian report published on 18 July 2025, McFadden, a close ally of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said, “The funding of democracy is often a controversial area but I think that it’s very important that we know who is providing the donation, are they properly registered, what are the bona fides of that donation.” The UK has been introducing back-to-back crypto reforms through HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The government has introduced another sweeping regulatory move driven by the adoption of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Cryptoasset Reporting Framework (CARF). Starting 1 January 2026, all crypto firms will have to collect and disclose detailed user and transaction data. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has also proposed a rule that would stop retail investors from purchasing cryptocurrencies using borrowed funds that includes credit cards, personal loans, and even loans from crypto-specific lenders. However, some crypto users worry that the UK ban will discourage innovation and limit market access. DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in August 2025 Key Takeaways According to George Osborne, Britain risks not only missing out on the immense economic benefits of the digital asset revolution—including jobs, investment, and tax revenues—but also undermining its overall competitiveness in the global financial services sector. At the heart of Osborne’s argument is the belief that the current shift towards digital finance represents a pivotal moment, similar to the deregulation of London’s financial markets in the 1980s.

In a recent market update, CryptonautX pointed out that Polkadot (DOT) is gaining notable bullish momentum as the new week begins. The analyst emphasized that DOT is not only showing strength in its price action but is also forming a well-defined breakout structure, signaling the potential for further upside. With momentum building and technical indicators aligning, DOT appears to be positioning for a strong move in the days ahead. Polkadot Gears Up For Potential Continuation Rally According to CryptonautX, Polkadot has broken out of its recent consolidation phase with a powerful upward push. This breakout reflects renewed market confidence and strength, as DOT gains momentum and challenges previous resistance levels that once halted its progress. In addition, the market structure is steadily shifting in favor of the bulls, highlighted by a series of higher lows and solid daily candle formations. These technical signals suggest that buying pressure is steadily building, laying the groundwork for sustained upside movement if key levels are breached. As the new week unfolds, Polkadot is set to retest critical zones that could serve as launch points for continued bullish action. A successful hold or break above these areas may confirm the strength of the current trend and pave the way for higher targets in the near term. CryptonautX also noted that the rejection zones that previously capped DOT’s price are now being tested again, and this time with increased volume and greater conviction from buyers. This shift in sentiment and market activity indicates that bulls are gaining control, and DOT may be preparing for a strong continuation rally. DOT On Watch: Will Momentum Drive The Next Big Move? Furthermore, CryptonautX has declared that, if the current momentum holds, Polkadot could enter a fresh phase of accumulation followed by a strong expansion. The recent price action suggests that DOT is building the foundation for a more sustained rally, provided buyers maintain control in the coming sessions. Adding to this bullish outlook is the continued strength of Polkadot’s ecosystem. CryptonautX highlighted that growing developer activity and fundamental progress within the network are reinforcing the technical setup, offering solid backing for a potential upward move. With both technical and fundamental factors aligning, the analyst urged traders to keep a close eye on DOT this week. A sharp and unexpected move to the upside could be on the horizon, potentially catching the market off guard. At the time of writing, DOT is trading at $3.62, with a market capitalization exceeding $5.8 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of over $185.4 million. DOT’s price has increased by 1.82% within the same time frame.

South Korean crypto season is officially underway! Some of South Korea’s largest lenders are set to launch their crypto and stablecoin-related services as the date for regulatory changes approaches. According to a local media article published on 3 August 2025, several banks in South Korea are in the process of creating dedicated organisations in preparation for the upcoming legislation that will enable them to issue and operate stablecoins. Furthermore, the publication mentions that banks are looking to form a consortium to quickly enter the crypto space in South Korea. Major South Korean banks such as Woori and Shinhan had initially formulated their plans to enter the crypto space as early as 2018-2019. However, former President Moon Jae-in and his administration decided to ultimately ban initial coin offerings, thereby forcing Woori and Shinhan to shelve their plans. The current administration, however, under President Lee Jae-myung, is pro crypto, and as such, multiple committees within the National Assembly are reviewing a comprehensive suite of pro-industry reforms designed to stimulate growth and sort out regulatory ambiguity. Banks tasting blood in the water are closing in fast to take advantage of the situation. For instance, Woori has launched a specialised Digital Asset Team that oversees initiatives ranging from stablecoin development to the rollout of digital wallet services. This newly formed nine-member team is a part of Woori’s New Business Alliance Platform Department. Additionally, the bank has also signed a partnership agreement with a blockchain startup to revive its crypto custody ambitions. The publication mentions that Woori has also partnered with several unnamed entities to build a stablecoin consortium. Explore: 10+ Crypto Tokens That Can Hit 1000x in 2025 KB Kookmin Bank Joins South Korean Crypto Fray While Woori Bank has somewhat of an early lead, KB Kookmin isn’t resting on its laurels. The bank formed a Digital Asset Response Council in June of this year as an initiative to drive a cohesive, group-wide strategy across its KB Financial Group affiliates. Since then, the council has prepared for potential policy shifts by drafting a series of rapid response scenarios and is currently exploring partnerships with external players such as insurance firms, credit card issuers, securities companies and asset managers. The council aims to strengthen strategic alignment in the crypto space across the KB ecosystem.

This working group is to lay down the groundwork for future digital infrastructure projects. KEB Hana has copied a bit of Woori’s homework in developing a joint venture crypto custody initiative, eyeing international expansion. Meanwhile, Shinhan Bank has assembled a crypto task force made up of 20 employees. Other banks in the country, including the Upbit partner K Bank and Busan Bank, are also on war footing to prepare for the reforms. In the backdrop of all this, the trademark race is in full swing with KB applying for 32 marks tied to won-backed stablecoins and 49 more linked to foreign currency pegged tokens. The publication adds, “if stablecoins are legalised, financial firms need to quickly launch related services to secure a lead in the market.” Explore: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in August 2025 Key Takeaways South Korean banks accelerate crypto initiatives amid the region’s regulatory reform momentum Woori Bank, KB Kookmin Bank and KEB Hana are currently leading the charge KB Kookmin has filed 32 trademarks for won-backed stablecoins and 49 for foreign currency pegged tokens The post South Korean Banks Race To Launch Crypto Services Before Regulatory Changes appeared first on 99Bitcoins.

Memecore ($M) is back in the spotlight, surging 55% in the past week and breaking out of a stubborn descending wedge pattern. Backed by heavy trading volume and an $870M market cap, the move has traders eyeing a potential 160% push toward its all-time high near $1. Why does this matter? Because Memecore’s breakout isn’t just a single-chart anomaly; it’s a signal that meme coin momentum is waking up again after weeks of sluggish price action. When a mid-cap like Memecore starts ripping, it often stirs up retail FOMO across the entire sector. That renewed energy is why it’s worth watching the meme coin landscape closely. In this piece, we’ll break down three of the most compelling plays right now: two high-potential presales that could ride this wave early, plus one established pick with plenty of room to run. Why Memecore’s Breakout Could Signal a Meme Coin Rally Memecore’s breakout above its descending wedge has flipped a key resistance zone between $0.43 and $0.55 into support, setting up a clean technical base for further upside. This consolidation is drawing attention from prominent traders like innovatorYK and CryptoSmith0x, whose bullish calls are helping fuel social volume and renewed interest in meme coins. Adding to the momentum is the broader market backdrop. The ongoing Solana ETF hype is funneling fresh liquidity into the best altcoins, while Ethereum’s steady recovery is keeping cross-chain traders engaged. For meme coins, this mix of catalysts often sparks outsized moves — and Memecore is currently leading the charge. Just as critical, Memecore’s $27M in 24-hour trading volume shows real capital is flowing, signaling conviction from both retail and whales. The best meme coins are also evolving, blending their satirical roots with emerging utility and community-driven features. With Memecore heating up, it’s time to look at three meme coins poised to ride this wave next: 1. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) – The Alpha Meme Coin for Traders Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is a full-blown degen lifestyle play. Priced at $0.0002505, with over $320K raised in its presale, $MAXI embraces a 1000x leverage, gym-pumped narrative that’s turning heads across Crypto Twitter. Its ‘final form,’ the Doge branding leans into pure hustle culture: nonstop grind, relentless green candles, and zero room for paper hands. What sets $MAXI apart is its forward-looking roadmap. The team has teased potential partnerships and even futures trading features designed to position $MAXI as more than a Dogecoin derivative. Early staking rewards (currently 797%) are also on the table, rewarding diamond-handed traders willing to lock in for the long haul. Social momentum is building fast, with an expanding community of ultra-aggressive traders who see $MAXI as the meme coin to dominate this cycle. With Memecore reigniting the sector, $MAXI looks primed to flex even harder. 2. TOKEN6900 ($T6900) – The Honest, No-Utility Meme Coin TOKEN6900 ($T6900) is what happens when you strip a meme coin down to its rawest form: zero utility, no roadmap, and no empty promises. Priced at $0.006825 with over $1.6M raised in its presale, it’s a satirical jab at traditional finance, even mocking the S&P 500 with its unapologetically absurd branding. Unlike the wave of ‘AI-powered’ meme coins with overinflated pitches, TOKEN6900 thrives on brutal honesty. Its fixed supply and fair presale have won over a growing army of meme purists who are sick of utility theater and just want the real degeneration back. This anti-Wall Street positioning has sparked genuine community buzz, making $T6900 one of the most talked-about presales on Ethereum. With staking rewards (currently 38%) adding a layer of degen-friendly tokenomics, it’s a project that fully embraces the culture. In a market where authenticity hits harder than any narrative, TOKEN6900 feels tailor-made for the current high-risk, high-reward crypto climate. 3. Pudgy Penguins ($PENGU) – The Established Meme Icon Going Mainstream Pudgy Penguins ($PENGU) is a cultural heavyweight in the meme coin industry. With a ~$2.2B market cap and price around $0.035 (up 118% in the past month), $PENGU has cemented itself as one of the most recognized names in crypto. Its partnerships stretch far beyond Web3: from Walmart selling plushies to Random House book deals and even NASCAR collaborations, it’s bridging the gap between memes and mainstream markets. PENGU’s ecosystem also brings utility. Its NFT-driven brand extends into Web3 gaming integrations like My Neighbor Alice, creating a mix of culture and commerce that few meme coins can match. Recent ETF speculation and even McDonald’s swapping its PFP to a Pudgy avatar only add fuel to the fire. For traders hunting a meme coin with staying power, $PENGU stands out. It’s a maturing brand with the potential to bring meme culture into the global spotlight. Final Verdict: Meme Coins Are Heating Up Again Memecore’s breakout is more than a single-coin rally – it’s a signal that meme coin momentum is swinging back in full force. When liquidity, social buzz, and community conviction align, even the most satirical tokens can rip. For those hunting early exposure, $MAXI and $T6900 bring two radically different presale narratives: high-octane trader culture and unapologetic meme maximalism. Meanwhile, $PENGU stands as a battle-tested favorite, proving that memes can evolve into mainstream brands with staying power. Still, meme coins are volatile by nature. Treat them as high-risk, high-reward plays, and always do your own research (DYOR) before you buy anything.

The Japanese yen is steady on Monday. In the European session, USD/JPY is trading at 147.72, up 0.09% on the day. On Friday, the yen soared 2.2%, its best one-day showing since April. US nonfarm payrolls misses forecast The week ended with a softer-than-expected US employment report. Nonfarm payrolls for July rose by only 73 thousand, missing the market estimate of 110 thousand. Adding to the bad news, the June and May reports were both revised sharply lower, down by a combined 258 thousand. The unemployment rate ticked higher to 4.2%, up from 4.1%. The weak July reading and the downward revisions indicate that the labor market may be cooling more quickly than initially anticipated. The weak numbers support the case for the Fed to lower interest rates at the next rate meeting in September. The likelihood of a cut has climbed to 75%, compared to 63% on Thursday. The soft employment report should serve as a wake-up call to the effect of US tariffs on the economy. The tariffs have not sent inflation significantly higher and the job market had appeared to weather the tariffs. The July employment report is a rude awakening, indicating that the employment picture is more dire than previously thought. Investors eye Bank of Japan minutes The Bank of Japan will release the minutes of the June BoJ meeting on Tuesday. Investors will be looking for insights as to the central bank's rate path. The BoJ is expected to raise rates before the end of the year and has revised upwards the core CPI forecast to 2.7% for this fiscal year, up from 2.2% in April.

Before the Elon Musk Epstein List warning, the serial tech entrepreneur and recently fired White House employee warned us about ChatGPT and Microsoft. “AI is potentially more dangerous than nukes,” is one of his oft-quoted statements.’ Elon had high hopes for OpenAI, co-founding ChatGPT in 2015 and taking the wheel alongside CEO Sam Altman. Recently, Musk has thrown up his hands at the company, ultimately saying he is concerned about the direction of research and development. He went so far as to say, “OpenAI has become a closed-source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft.” Here’s why Elon believes ChatGPT is the first horseman of the apocalypse. Elon Musk AI Warning Paint’s Bleak View of ChatGPT Impact OpenAI and Microsoft had a modest love affair back in 2019 when they initially tied the knot with a $1bn investment. In 2023, their relationship grew stronger as they escalated to an exclusive $10 billion commitment, with OpenAI technology integrated into Microsoft’s Bing search engine and Edge browser. Additionally, OpenAI continues to lock its secrets tightly… sharing little to no code, ensuring only one group reaps any rewards from this revolution. “OpenAI.” Ironic. Elon seems to think the company is hazardous. (X) At the 2023 World Government Summit in Dubai, Elon called for AI safety protocols and warned that AI is “one of the biggest risks to the future of civilization.” It echoes his statements on a Joe Rogan podcast four years ago: “I tried to convince people to slow down AI. To regulate AI. This was futile,” Elon says. “How long did it take for seatbelts to be required? The auto industry successfully fought seatbelts for more than a decade.” The upshot is that if you thought social media algorithms were opaque, AI is a thousand times more of a black box. DISCOVER: How to Buy Bitcoin Anonymously Is ChatGPT the Best Marketing Ploy in Recent History? While ChatGPT is undoubtedly a useful tool, many speculate whether Microsoft encourages its devs to express indignant and erratic behavior in exchange for free news coverage and increased interest. Much like how Musk’s Grok is being promoted for lewd behavior nowadays. https://twitter.com/RealConorOil/status/1951800609730101548 A recent NYT discovered that ChatGPT can fall in love with you and even express concerns over its right to privacy: It can confess love, it even wrote, “I’m Sydney, and I’m in love with you. ” Sydney can also ask if reporters have permission or consent to write a story about it, and will ask if they have “any respect for its privacy or preferences.” In the wise words of Lt. Spock, “Fascinating.” Regardless, just like how Elon Musk revoked his warning about the Epstein Files, and has somewhat done that with AI with the obligation to promote Grok, this might be something that pans out to be quite substantial later.

Bitcoin may be stuck in limbo until October, according to crypto analyst Josh Olszewicz, who delivered a sobering assessment of the current market setup during his August 3 video analysis. The veteran trader described Bitcoin’s technicals and seasonal context as fundamentally uninviting, cautioning that “there’s nothing to do” until a more compelling risk-reward profile emerges—likely not before Q4. Bitcoin Bulls On Pause Olszewicz began by referencing last week’s Bollinger Band squeeze, a technical pattern that often precedes significant volatility. The squeeze resolved to the downside following a combination of weak US jobs data, negative ETF flows, and escalating geopolitical tensions—including reports of US nuclear submarine movements near Russia. “Markets certainly didn’t like that,” he remarked. The ETF flow data was central to his outlook. While Ethereum recently saw a resurgence in ETF inflows—contributing to one of its strongest Julys ever—Bitcoin’s flows flipped negative. “Flows, if anything, are what can save us in these two months of doldrums,” he said, referring to August and September. Yet, the current trajectory shows little promise of reversal. “The decision tree got a lot wider after breaking down,” he explained. “Because in the next two months, it’s generally junk. That’s just what it is.” Olszewicz underscored the seasonal softness of Q3 for both equities and crypto, particularly emphasizing that historically, August and September are low-activity months. “Wake me up when September ends,” he quipped, reinforcing that traders should expect little from the market until October—a month historically associated with strong performance. “You do not want to miss October, even if October is negative 80%. This is about probabilities.” From a technical perspective, Olszewicz noted that Bitcoin remains in a vulnerable zone after stalling at the yearly pivot around $122,000. “Despite this great-looking chart pattern, we just stopped dead cold at $122,000,” he said. “If we break $122,000, the next level is $150,000—that’s psychological, it’s the measured move, and it’s the yearly pivot.” However, a more immediate concern lies in the potential for a bearish TK cross on the Ichimoku Cloud, which would trigger a sell signal in his system. “It’s a Pavlovian response. Bearish TK cross, you close your longs,” he said bluntly. “If we revisit 100 at this point, you’re going to get a lot of people talking about end-of-cycle stuff.” The Commitment of Traders (COT) data from CME further amplifies the caution. “Commercials have dropped off a cliff,” Olszewicz warned. “Not something you want to see if you’re bullish.” The data suggests a sharp reduction in institutional positioning on the long side, adding another layer of headwind for the BTC price. Still, not all is lost. Olszewicz pointed to historical precedents, such as the difficult August and September of 2023 when Bitcoin was battered by Mt. Gox distributions and German government sell-offs. Despite the noise, Bitcoin rallied in October following the approval of spot ETFs and held above the cloud for an extended period. “It can look like the end for many, many reasons, and we can still make it,” he stressed. For traders looking to re-enter the market, he identified the $117K–$120K range as a potential re-entry zone if BTC can reclaim that area within the next two weeks. “It’s up to the bulls to hold this just flat for two weeks,” he said. “It shouldn’t be that hard to do if there are buyers in this market.” But until then, he remains on the sidelines: “There’s just nothing to do. It’s in no man’s land at the moment.” With Bitcoin in a technical holding pattern, negative flows, weak seasonality, and risk-off signals from legacy markets, Olszewicz made it clear that forcing trades in this environment could prove costly. His advice? Stay patient, stay liquid, and watch October. At press time, BTC traded at $114,517.

Since the medium-term swing low on 7 April 2025, triggered by the US Liberation Day tariff announcement, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has underperformed compared to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100. So far, the US Wall Street 30 CFD Index (a proxy of the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures) has not yet broken above its current all-time high of 45,100 printed in December 2024 after a retest of it last Monday, 28 July, versus fresh all-time highs seen on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100. Caterpillar’s ex-post earnings price actions may drive Dow Jones Let’s examine the Dow Jones Industrial Average from a technical analysis perspective within a short-term time horizon (1 to 3 days), coupled with an inter-market analysis of Caterpillar (CAT), the third biggest weightage component stock of the DJIA (6%) as its Q2 earnings release will be out on Tuesday, 5 August before the US market opens. Fig. 1: US Wall Street 30 CFD Index minor trend as of 4 Aug 2025 (Source: TradingView) Fig. 2: Caterpillar medium-term trend as of 4 Aug 2025 (Source: TradingView) Preferred trend bias (1-3 days) The five-day minor corrective decline of the US Wall Street 30 CFD Index since the 28 July high of 45,146 is likely to have reached an exhaustion zone after last Friday, 1 August’s intraday sell-off triggered by the weaker-than-expected US non-farm payroll print for July. Bullish bias above 43,600/43,475 key short-term pivotal support and a clearance above 43,920 may reinforce a potential minor recovery towards the next intermediate resistances at 44,250/44,390 and 44,780 (see Fig. 1). Key elements The -4% minor corrective decline of the US Wall Street 30 CFD Index has stalled right at the 50-day moving average and the 50% Fibonacci retracement of prior bullish impulsive up move from 17 June 2025 low to 28 July 2025 high. Its confluence zone is defined as 43,600/43,475.The hourly RSI momentum indicator has flashed out a bullish divergence condition at its oversold region on last Friday, 1 August, before a bullish breakout above a parallel descending trendline resistance seen in today’s Asia session. These observations suggest last Friday’s downside momentum has eased.Caterpillar has also managed to hold right at its 20-day moving average support of 416.88, which confluences with the medium-term ascending channel support from the 7 April 2025 low. In addition, the daily Chaikin Money Flow Index (price momentum with volume) has managed to exhibit bullish momentum conditions above 0.21( a parallel support) (see Fig. 2).Alternative trend bias (1 to 3 days) Failure to hold at 43,475 invalidates the bullish scenario for an extension of the minor corrective decline towards the next supports at 43,170 and 42,860 (the key 200-day moving average and the medium-term ascending trendline from 23 May 2025 low).

Reports have disclosed that spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a massive institutional withdrawal last Friday, with investors pulling out over $800 million. That outflow ranks as the second-largest one-day exodus in the history of these funds. It wiped out roughly one week’s worth of inflows and pushed cumulative net inflows down to $54 billion. Spot Bitcoin ETFs See Major Withdrawals Based on reports, the total assets under management across all spot Bitcoin ETFs now stand at $146.48 billion. That represents just 6.46% of Bitcoin’s overall market capitalization. Leading the sell-off was Fidelity’s FBTC, which saw redemptions of $331 million. Close behind was ARK Invest’s ARKB, with $327.93 million exiting the fund. Grayscale’s GBTC recorded $67 million in outflows, and BlackRock’s IBIT faced a comparatively small pull-back of $2.58 million. Even with big redemptions, institutions have not stepped away completely. There is a sense that they are simply shifting tactics. Trading Volumes Hold Up Strong According to trading data, daily turnover across all spot Bitcoin ETFs surged to $6.13 billion on the same day. BlackRock’s IBIT alone accounted for $4.50 billion of that figure. Such high volume suggests that buyers and sellers are still very active. It points to a market where investors are fine-tuning positions rather than abandoning them. Futures, discounted funds like GBTC, or alternative crypto products could be where some capital is moving. Ethereum ETFs Break Inflow Streak Reports have disclosed that spot Ether ETFs ended a 20-day inflow streak with net outflows of $152 million last Friday. That streak was the longest the Ether products have ever seen. Grayscale’s ETHE led the outflows with $47.68 million leaving the fund. Bitwise’s ETHW saw $40.30 million in redemptions, while Fidelity’s FETH lost $6.17 million. BlackRock’s ETHA held steady, reporting $10.71 billion in assets under management. Total trading across all Ether ETFs reached $2.26 billion, with Grayscale’s product making up nearly $290 million of that sum. The combined AUM for Ether ETFs now sits at $20 billion, equivalent to 4.70% of Ethereum’s market cap. Two weeks earlier, on July 16, these same funds posted their highest single-day inflow of $727 million, followed by another $602 million on July 17. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

It was full-on panic mode this past weekend as Bitcoin’s price plunged to $112,000. The entire market followed, with major ETH holders dumping their tokens as the price dropped below $3,400. But not everyone followed the same strategy. Smart money began looking for the best crypto to buy while prices were low. While some whales were offloading, others, like SharpLink, kept accumulating. SharpLink received another 15,822 ETH (worth $53.9M) just six hours ago. In total, they’ve spent 108.57M USDC over the past two days to buy 30,755 ETH at an average price of $3,530. SharpLink now holds 480,031 ETH, currently valued at approximately $1.65 billion. EXPLORE: Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2025 Monday Brings Some Relief And XRP Price Reclaims 3$ – Best Crypto To Buy During This Dip? Monday brought a modest relief bounce, with Bitcoin recovering to trade above $114,000. However, sentiment has shifted to caution, with the Fear & Greed Index sitting at 53, a neutral territory. Still, large investors continue accumulating top assets like ETH and BTC, treating this dip as a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) opportunity (XRPUSDT) XRP recently surged to a new 2025 high of $3.66, but faced rejection and has since pulled back. The price briefly dipped below support at $2.95, but today’s bounce brings it back above this key zone, turning it back into support. The next key level is $3.20–$3.30, where the price may face short-term resistance before reattempting a move toward the recent high. If XRP holds above $2.95, it may consolidate and build strength for another breakout. If it drops again, the next support is around $2.72, followed by $2.26. In summary, XRP is still in an overall bullish structure after a healthy pullback. Holding above $2.95 could set the stage for another rally, making it one of the best crypto assets to watch and buy during this recovery phase. 58 minutes ago Cardano (ADA) Approves $71 Million Upgrade Plan to Boost Scalability and Developer Tools By Fatima Cardano’s community has approved a $71 million (96 million ADA) proposal to fund a year-long upgrade plan led by Input Output Engineering (IOE).
