According to trader Josh Olszewicz, just “a small nudge” is all that stands between Bitcoin and “full breakout territory.” A look at the 6-hour $BTC/USD chart reveals two distinct bullish setups working in tandem: inverse head and shoulders (iHS) and the falling wedge. The chart clearly defines a classic trend-reversal pattern, with the left shoulder forming in June, the head bottoming out in early July near $57,800, and the right shoulder solidifying mid-month. Moreover, Bitcoin has broken out above the descending resistance line of a multi-week falling wedge. The main technical target sits in a golden zone between the 1.618…

Ethereum [$ETH] is currently in a period of consolidation after a strong rally. This rally pushed the altcoin to an eight-month high of $2,660. Since then, Ethereum has pulled back and has been trading around $2,474 as of writing. At this level, buyers are continuing to defend higher lows for Ethereum. This has created a tightening triangle, with rising support meeting resistance near the recent highs, reflecting a balance between bulls defending lower prices and bears preventing further increases. The shape of this triangle looks similar to an earlier triangle that had formed before a 30.91% increase, adding credibility to…

Finance has spent a thousand years trying to move wealth virtually. But every time innovators engineer a faster, more secure way to transfer capital, malicious actors hit back with new, sometimes highly sophisticated, attack vectors. For over 50 years, the messaging system developed by the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (Swift) has been the dominant infrastructure for cross-border settlement, routing roughly $5 trillion daily. However, facing pressure to improve speed, reduce cost and compete with the growing number of blockchain rivals, the bank-owned organization is under pressure to evolve. In recent years, stablecoins and tokenized deposits have emerged as…

When a Bitcoin treasury trades for less than the Bitcoin it holds, the cheapest way to increase gross Bitcoin exposure per share may be to buy back its own stock. UK-listed B HODL Plc tested that inversion during its first week of repurchases. It paid about £37,985 before fees to retire 823,400 shares, generating about 24% more gross sats-per-share accretion per pound than using the same cash to buy Bitcoin at the comparison price. That 24% edge is before fees, and the numbers stop short of showing a full NAV-per-share gain. B HODL’s official dashboard on July 19 showed 166.487…

The formation of a major technical pattern on Ethereum ($ETH) has begun to influence the performance of related highly liquid assets in the ERC-20 ecosystem.

A symmetrical triangle has formed on Ethereum’s 12-hour chart. According to Ali Martinez’s analysis (Ali Charts), the previous breakout from a similar formation drove a 31% gain in three days. A breakout above resistance at $2,474 would put…
