Solana Price Climbs, but One Bearish Pattern Risks a 17% Crash

Solana Price Climbs, but One Bearish Pattern Risks a 17% Crash

The post Solana Price Climbs, but One Bearish Pattern Risks a 17% Crash appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights: Solana price formed a double top around $209, failing to break resistance twice, which often signals trend weakness. Key support at $176 is at risk. If it breaks, the Solana price could drop to $155, a 17% fall from recent levels. CMF remains weak, funding rates are flat, and exchange inflows suggest possible sell pressure ahead. Solana price has had a strange run in the past few months. Solana price jumped more than 4% in a single day. But in the past three months, gains were only about 3%. That means Solana went up and down a lot without real direction. Traders have seen SOL price stay between $170 and $210 for weeks. Many thought it would break out, but now a big drop is possible. One bearish chart pattern, mixed with exchange flows and open interest, shows that a 17% crash could happen soon. The risk is real, and it’s coming from inside the chart. CMF Shows Weak Buyer Support Despite Higher Solana Price The CMF, or Chaikin Money Flow, is a simple way to track how much money is coming in or going out of a coin. If the number is very high, it means buyers are strong. If the number is low or falling, it means buyers are weak or leaving. Solana Money Inflow Isn’t Strong Enough  | Source: TradingView Right now, Solana’s CMF is not very strong. The value did move up a little. It even made a new high compared to past weeks. But it stayed below the 0.11 line. That line is important. If CMF stays below 0.11, it shows buyers are not strong enough to push the price much higher. This means people are still buying, but not with full strength. Many traders are not confident. They are buying a little…

Connect op Discord! Check onze Discord   Eerder deze maand leek iedereen vertrouwen te hebben in een renteverlaging volgende maand vanuit de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Daar is de markt nu niet meer zo zeker van, en dat zien we terug in de kwakkelende koersen. Investeerders lijken zich voor te bereiden op een teleurstelling, maar hopen stiekem dat ons morgen een verrassing te wachten staat. Renteverlaging is nog steeds de verwachting Morgen houdt voorzitter van de Amerikaanse centrale bank Jerome Powell een toespraak op een conferentie in Jackson Hole. De bank heeft de beleidsrente al het hele jaar stabiel gehouden, maar voor het eerst verwacht de markt dat de economie gestimuleerd wordt (goedkopere leningen zorgen voor meer vraag in de economie). Het vertrouwen in een renteverlaging heeft alles te maken met de slechte banencijfers die aan het begin van de maand naar buiten werden gebracht. In juli kwamen er veel minder banen bij dan verwacht en ook de cijfers van mei en juni werden fors naar beneden bijgesteld. Het zou een teken kunnen zijn dat de Amerikaanse economie richting een recessie beweegt, en dus knalde de kans op een renteverlaging de lucht in. Vorige week dinsdag kwam ook nog eens de consumentenprijsindex (CPI) lager binnen dan verwacht, waardoor op een gegeven moment de hele futuresmarkt een renteverlaging verwachtte. Een dag later zwakte het optimisme af toen de producentenprijsindex (PPI) flink teleurstelde met hogere cijfers. Sindsdien houden steeds meer mensen rekening met opnieuw een rentepauze. Momenteel houdt 71,3 procent van de futuresmarkt rekening met een renteverlaging van 0,25 procent, zo laten gegevens van CME Group zien. Dat is nog steeds een dikke meerderheid, maar het percentage is dus rap gedaald de afgelopen tijd. De notulen van de laatste rentevergadering hebben daar ook aan bijgedragen. De meerderheid ziet de opwaartse inflatierisico’s als groter dan het risico op een zwakkere werkgelegenheid. Goed om te melden is dat de vergadering na de zwakke banencijfers plaatsvond. Alle ogen naar morgenmiddag Toch lijkt de markt zich al in te dekken voor een tegenvaller. Ondertussen gaat de aandacht uit naar de speech van morgen om 16:00 uur. Het meest waarschijnlijke scenario is dat Powell de opties openlaat, aangezien er nog veel nieuwe data op komst is die het besluit van de Fed zal beïnvloeden. Als er wordt gehint naar een verlaging dan zou zich dat waarschijnlijk vertalen in een stijgende bitcoin (BTC) koers. Maar een strenge toon kan juist negatief uitpakken.

U.S.–EU Trade Framework Revealed—Here’s What To Expect From Trump’s Tariffs

U.S.–EU Trade Framework Revealed—Here’s What To Expect From Trump’s Tariffs

The post U.S.–EU Trade Framework Revealed—Here’s What To Expect From Trump’s Tariffs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The framework of a trade deal reached between the U.S. and European Union were detailed in a joint statement Thursday, as both sides agreed on lower levies for several goods while the Trump administration imposed conditions before some rates were cut. A trade deal was reached between the Trump administration and European Union officials last month, just ahead of Trump’s imposed deadline. AFP via Getty Images Key Facts The U.S. agreed to lower a blanket tariff on European imports from 30% to 15%, and the EU agreed to purchasing $750 billion of American energy, a “substantially” increased deal to acquire U.S. military and defense equipment and a further $600 billion investment in the U.S. through 2028, according to a joint statement. The EU pledged to eliminate tariffs on U.S. industrial goods and provide “preferential market access” to American seafood and agricultural products, including tree nuts, some dairy products, fresh and processed fruits, vegetables and other foods, planting seeds, soybean oil, pork and bison meat. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement the deal provides “predictability” for European companies and consumers and “strengthens transatlantic relations.” What European Goods Face Lower Tariffs? European imports will now face a blanket 15% tariff, while “Most Favored Nation” rates of below 15% will be imposed on aircraft and aircraft parts, generic pharmaceuticals, including their ingredients and “chemical precursors,” and unavailable natural resources, like cork. The U.S. also reiterated a commitment to cap tariffs on semiconductors and lumber at 15%, after President Donald Trump announced earlier this month a 100% tariff on all semiconductor imports. Trump previously threatened 250% tariffs on pharmaceuticals while accusing firms of gouging American consumers with high drug prices, and said after a trade deal was reached with the EU that pharmaceuticals were “unrelated” to agreed terms.…

New crypto ETFs offer leveraged bets on XRP and Solana

New crypto ETFs offer leveraged bets on XRP and Solana

The post New crypto ETFs offer leveraged bets on XRP and Solana appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tidal Trust II has filed an application with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to introduce two new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that offer leveraged long exposure to XRP and Solana. The filing, made public on Aug. 19 via Form N-1A, outlines plans to offer daily exposure to the digital assets with leverage between 150% and 200%. The funds aim to combine aggressive growth potential with strategies designed to generate consistent income. It plans to employ options-based techniques, such as credit call spreads, to enhance returns while mitigating some of the risks associated with leveraged positions. Investors would benefit from amplified exposure to XRP and Solana without needing to engage in margin trading. Rather than directly holding XRP or SOL, the ETFs would primarily invest in derivatives, including swap agreements and options linked to US-listed XRP and SOL ETFs. The funds may also allocate capital to cash-settled futures and other exchange-traded products that track the price movements of these digital assets. The structure is intended to provide both long-term capital appreciation and current income, appealing to a broad spectrum of traditional investors. Solana and XRP ETFs draw interest The timing of the application aligns with increasing optimism around regulatory approval for crypto ETFs beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Analysts, including Bloomberg’s James Seyffart, anticipate that the SEC may approve some altcoin ETF applications by October. This growing regulatory clarity has contributed to a surge in market interest for products linked to these altcoins. Interestingly, investor appetite for these products is already evident in the market. The Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF (XXRP) recently exceeded $400 million in net assets, marking a first for a US-traded XRP ETF. Similarly, the REX Shares Solana Staking ETF (SSK), which launched less than two months ago, has attracted over $160 million in net inflows. These…

Tim Scott hopes for bipartisan digital asset bill passage

Tim Scott hopes for bipartisan digital asset bill passage

The post Tim Scott hopes for bipartisan digital asset bill passage appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Homepage > News > Business > Tim Scott hopes for bipartisan digital asset bill passage United States Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), who chairs the Senate Banking Committee and spearheads efforts to pass a digital asset market structure bill, said that certain Democratic Party lawmakers are “standing in the way” of the legislation’s progress. Speaking at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium on Tuesday, Scott reportedly said that he believes he can get between 12 to 18 Democrats to vote for his digital asset market structure bill, but that leading Democrats, such as vocal digital currency-critic Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), are hampering progress. “The forces against it, let me just say it clearly, like Elizabeth Warren, standing in the way of Democrats wanting to participate,” Scott said, as reported by The Block on August 19. He added that the virulent opposition of such figures as Warren is “a real force to overcome.” Scott—along with fellow Senate Banking Committee Republicans Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), and Bernie Moreno (R-OH)—released a discussion draft of their digital asset market structure bill, also known as the ‘Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025,’ on July 22. The 35-page draft primarily addresses the uncertainty over how to classify various digital assets and which regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has jurisdiction over those assets. Its provisions include defining an “ancillary asset” to clarify which digital assets are not securities, requiring the SEC to exempt certain offers or sales of ancillary assets from SEC registration, and pressing the regulator to “more clearly define what constitutes an investment contract.” The draft also directs the SEC to tailor existing requirements to digital asset activity, “so that regulations are no longer outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome in light of the unique technological characteristics of digital…

ETH Open Interest Reaches ATH, Signaling Potential for Further Gains

ETH Open Interest Reaches ATH, Signaling Potential for Further Gains

The post ETH Open Interest Reaches ATH, Signaling Potential for Further Gains appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum’s perpetual futures trading volume share hit a historic high of 67% over the past week. In other words, two-thirds of all crypto perpetual futures trading involved Ethereum. This indicates that crypto investors are unusually favoring high-risk investments, even amid a market downtrend caused mainly by concerns over rising US inflation. BTC-ETH Open Interest is Very Close Glassnode released its weekly report, “A Derivatives-Led Market,” on Wednesday. It explained that while Bitcoin’s price recently hit a new all-time high before correcting, the crypto derivatives market primarily drove the market’s direction. Despite the correction, Glassnode pointed out that market participants still consider this a bull market, which is reflected in the rising open interest dominance of ETH, a key “bellweather asset“ As of Thursday morning UTC, the spot dominance gap between Bitcoin (59.42%) and Ethereum (13.62%) is about fourfold. However, the open interest dominance is much closer, with Bitcoin at 56.7% and Ethereum at 43.3%. This suggests that leveraged investors are showing significantly greater interest in ETH. This trend is even more pronounced in trading volume. Ethereum’s perpetual futures trading volume share has reached an all-time high of 67%. BTC vs ETH Perpetual Futures Volume Dominance(7 EMA). Source: Glassnode Glassnode explained that these figures highlight the high level of investor interest in the altcoin sector and indicate that investors are now willing to take on greater investment risk. So, could the price of ETH rise further and serve as a stepping stone to an “altcoin season”? Ultimately, the key appears to lie in the attitudes and interest rate decisions of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) officials. One of the main reasons for the recent crypto price correction is the uncertainty surrounding the Fed’s interest rate cuts due to renewed US inflation. If Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole…

Unveiling: 250 Million USDC Minting Signals Major Market Movement

Unveiling: 250 Million USDC Minting Signals Major Market Movement

BitcoinWorld Unveiling: 250 Million USDC Minting Signals Major Market Movement A truly significant event just shook the crypto world: Whale Alert reported a massive 250 million USDC minted at the USDC Treasury. This isn’t just a number; it signals potentially big shifts in the cryptocurrency landscape. Understanding this substantial USDC minting is crucial for anyone following digital asset trends and market liquidity. What Does This Massive USDC Minting Mean? When new USDC is minted, it essentially means that Circle, the issuer of USDC, has added an equivalent amount of U.S. dollars to its reserves. This process ensures that each USDC token remains pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, maintaining its stability. The recent 250 million USDC minted transaction, as highlighted by Whale Alert, indicates a strong demand for this leading stablecoin in the market. Increased Liquidity: More USDC in circulation typically translates to increased liquidity across various decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and centralized exchanges. This can facilitate smoother trading and larger transactions. Market Demand: Large minting events often reflect a rising demand for stablecoins. Traders use stablecoins for various purposes, including trading, lending, or simply as a safe haven during periods of market volatility. Treasury Activity: The USDC Treasury acts as the central hub for issuing and burning USDC. Its activity provides valuable insights into the overall health and growth of the stablecoin ecosystem. Why is USDC Minting Important for the Crypto Market? The act of USDC minting directly impacts market dynamics. Stablecoins like USDC serve as a vital bridge between traditional finance and the volatile cryptocurrency world. They allow traders to lock in gains or prepare for new investments without converting back to fiat currency, thereby reducing friction and costs. Moreover, the influx of 250 million USDC minted can indicate several underlying market sentiments. For instance, institutional investors often utilize stablecoins for large-scale transfers and as a base currency for their crypto strategies. Therefore, a significant mint suggests potential institutional interest or large capital movements entering the digital asset space. Consider how this new liquidity can flow. It might be directed towards purchasing other cryptocurrencies, participating in DeFi yield farming, or simply sitting on exchanges, ready for the next market opportunity. This makes monitoring USDC minting events a key part of comprehensive market analysis. Potential Impacts of 250 Million USDC Minted The immediate impact of such a large USDC minting event is often seen in increased trading volume and potential price movements for other cryptocurrencies. When a substantial amount of stablecoin enters the market, it often signals an intention to deploy capital, rather than just holding it. Buying Pressure: Newly minted USDC can be used to buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, or various altcoins, potentially creating upward price pressure across the market. DeFi Growth: A boost in USDC supply can fuel growth in DeFi applications, as users seek out lending, borrowing, and staking opportunities to earn yield. Market Confidence: Consistent minting, especially in large sums, can signify growing confidence in the stablecoin’s stability and the broader crypto market’s potential for expansion. However, it is important to note that minting alone does not guarantee a bull run. Sometimes, large stablecoin inflows are used to cover short positions or for arbitrage opportunities. Always analyze these events in conjunction with other market indicators for a complete picture. Navigating the Dynamics of USDC Minting For investors and enthusiasts, understanding the implications of events like USDC minting is crucial. This recent 250 million USDC minted transaction serves as a powerful reminder that stablecoin movements are significant indicators of underlying market activity. Always consider the broader context and other market signals. Here are some actionable insights: Monitor Whale Alert: Keep an eye on reports from services like Whale Alert for large transactions across various blockchains. Check Exchange Balances: Observe stablecoin balances on major exchanges; a significant rise might indicate an intent to buy other assets. Analyze Funding Rates: In perpetual futures markets, funding rates can offer clues about market sentiment and potential short-term movements following large stablecoin inflows. Ultimately, these events highlight the dynamic nature of the crypto market. Being informed allows you to make more strategic decisions and better anticipate market shifts. In conclusion, the recent report of 250 million USDC minted at the Treasury is more than just a headline; it’s a powerful signal. This substantial USDC minting event points to increased demand for stablecoins, greater liquidity in the market, and potential shifts in investment flows. While it doesn’t guarantee specific outcomes, it certainly merits close attention from anyone navigating the exciting world of cryptocurrencies. Stay informed, and always conduct your own research to understand the full picture. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: What does “USDC minted” mean? A1: “USDC minted” means that new USDC stablecoins have been created and added to circulation.

Shiba Inu Faces Increased Selling Pressure as This Key Metric Dips Over 90%

Shiba Inu Faces Increased Selling Pressure as This Key Metric Dips Over 90%

Leading canine-themed token Shiba Inu is facing increased selling pressure as its burn rate has dropped significantly over the past day.  Shiba Inu has been attempting to recover from the broader market downturn, which sent its price to a multi-week low of $0.00001206 yesterday. Shortly after the collapse, it recovered to an intraday high of $0.00001267 and suffered a slight retracement to $0.00001250.  Shiba Inu Burn Rate Slumps Over 90% As Shiba Inu battles persistent bearish momentum, token burns have drastically reduced. Data from Shibburn shows that Shiba Inu’s burn rate has slumped by 90.95% over the past day, with only 139,099 SHIB tokens sent to the burn wallet across three transactions.  Shiba Inu burn rate reaches 90Shiba Inu burn rate reaches 90 Many attribute the long-term value proposition of Shiba Inu to reducing its massive supply of 589 trillion tokens through burns. As the rate is now dropping, it could impact sentiment. Notably, removing more tokens from circulation and sending them to the dead wallet contributes to Shiba Inu’s price seeing a long-term spike. As the burn activity declines, it raises supply concerns, and some investors might panic sell.  Shiba Inu Current Performance  In the meantime, Shiba Inu has continued to show resilience, rising from a multi-week low of $0.00001206 to $0.00001250. With a current price of $0.00001250, Shiba Inu has surged by a mere 1.57% over the past day. However, it is still down 8.15% over the past week and 16.36% over the past month.  Investors’ momentum has waned in the past day, with the trading volume plunging by 3.08% over the past 24 hours to $197.77 million.  Liquidation Overview  Amid the ongoing recovery, Shiba Inu futures traders have suffered a total liquidation of $87,450 in the past day. While long positions comprised $37,450, the short ones incurred most losses at $49,990.  Notably, investors betting on a Shiba Inu price drop (shorts) could face $746,520 in liquidations if SHIB climbs to $0.000013. Conversely, those expecting the rally to continue (longs) risk $919,610 in liquidation if the price falls under $0.000012.  Meanwhile, several community experts remain confident in Shiba Inu’s prospects. Analyst MMB Trader projects an imminent rally to $0.00007716.
