While the crowd is celebrating a local rebound, the veteran technical analyst offers a sobering view of the chart. From his perspective, the current rise is not the beginning of a new bull rally, but only a technical move inside a local bearish corridor. US inflation validates Peter Brandt’s bearish Bitcoin setup Brandt’s sobering chart gets hard fundamental support from U.S. macro data. Fresh producer inflation figures show that PPI YoY jumped to…

Ethereum has staged an impressive recovery from the $1.5K support region, but the latest rally is now approaching a critical inflection point. The market is testing a major supply zone that could determine whether the rebound extends toward higher resistance levels or transitions into another period of consolidation. Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart On the daily timeframe, $ETH remains within a broader descending channel and continues to trade below the 100-day and 200-day moving averages. However, the recent price action has been constructive, with buyers successfully defending the $1.5K support zone and driving a strong recovery toward the $1.8K…

Robinhood Markets HOOD shares moved higher on Wednesday after multiple Wall Street firms reaffirmed their bullish outlook on the online brokerage, arguing that the company’s growth prospects remain strong. The bullish view came despite a planned workforce reduction affecting roughly 10% of employees.

The analyst upgrades came shortly after Robinhood announced a restructuring effort that will eliminate approximately 290 full-time positions and a small number of open roles.

A failed Australian crypto trader who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for murdering his mother has been given less than two days by the country’s Court of Appeals to prove he didn’t kill her to get his hands on a $1.2 million insurance payout. Andre Rebelo was found guilty in December 2024 of the 2020 killing of his mother Colleen Rebelo. A court found that he had killed her and staged her body to make her death look like natural causes. The West Australian reports that from September 16, Rebelo’s lawyers will have around a day and a…

Is a global 2008-style economic crash nigh? And do current conditions resemble the early stages of a broader global financial crisis driven by debt costs, inflation pressure, and constrained policy responses? Those questions have become harder to dismiss because the pressure points are stacking in the wrong order: high sovereign yields, high public debt, an energy shock, sticky inflation, and stretched asset valuations. The world has echoes of 2008, but the policy setting is different. Banks are better capitalized than they were before the global financial crisis, and the Federal Reserve’s latest financial-stability work still points to areas of resilience…

ETHGas [$GWEI] extended its decline as weakening Ethereum network activity continued to pressure sentiment across the market. The token dropped 13.68% over the past 24 hours and traded near $0.148 at press time. Ethereum gas fees fell to just 0.10 Gwei across transaction speeds, reflecting one of the weakest demand environments in recent years. As a result, $GWEI’s utility as a proxy for network usage appeared increasingly constrained. Trading activity, however, moved in the opposite direction. Daily volume climbed 44.26% to $13.8 million, pushing the volume-to-market-cap ratio to 5.32%. This surge in turnover suggested traders actively repositioned during the sell-off…

New Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh ended his first FOMC meeting without changing interest rates. The FOMC statement said officials voted 12-0 to keep the federal funds target range at 3.50% to 3.75%. The Fed said economic activity was expanding at a solid pace, while inflation remained above its 2% target. It also said some price pressure came from supply shocks and energy costs. The statement added that the committee “will deliver price stability.” Tone shifts from Powell era Warsh’s first press conference drew attention because his style differed from Jerome Powell’s more direct communication approach. According to the New…
