Index

A crypto Index provides a way for investors to gain diversified exposure to a specific basket of digital assets through a single tokenized product. These indices often track specific sectors, such as DeFi, DePIN, or RWA, and are automatically rebalanced via smart contracts. In 2026, AI-managed thematic indices have become the gold standard for passive investing, allowing users to track the "blue chips" of the Web3 economy without manual portfolio management. This tag covers index methodology, rebalancing frequency, and the benefits of diversified crypto baskets.

Can Bulls Defend $4,400 After Sharp Rejection?

Can Bulls Defend $4,400 After Sharp Rejection?

The post Can Bulls Defend $4,400 After Sharp Rejection? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The price of Ethereum is stabilizing around $4,430 after a wild drop from the $4,950 range. The drop came after ETH was strongly rejected at a major supply block between $4,900 and $5,000, which stopped the recent rise. Even though it has pulled back, ETH is still trading above its rising trendline support, giving buyers a chance to regroup and make another push higher. What’s Happening With Ethereum’s Price? Ethereum has been on a long-term upward trend for most of August, rising from below $3,800 to almost $5,000. ETH is still in an upward trend on the 4-hour chart, with higher lows still in place. The $4,400 level is now a key turning point where the trendline and local support meet. The parabolic SAR dots are still above the price, which shows that there is short-term bearish pressure, but the larger structure is still intact.  Why Is The Ethereum Price Going Down Today? The current pullback in Ethereum price is driven primarily by overhead supply near $5,000 and fading intraday momentum. The 30-minute chart shows ETH capped under a descending trendline, with RSI at 46, reflecting cooling demand. The MACD line is still in negative territory, though its histogram shows early signs of flattening, suggesting that bearish pressure may be easing. Spot inflows also turned negative, with Coinglass data showing a net outflow of $54.7M on August 26. This indicates mild profit-taking after the strong rally earlier this month. While outflows often reflect accumulation, the timing alongside technical rejection suggests cautious positioning by traders. Bollinger Bands, Supertrend, and Money Flow Index Signal Pause Bollinger Bands on the 4-hour chart show price testing the midline near $4,510 after falling from the upper band at $4,947. A close above this level would ease downside risk, but repeated rejection could trigger renewed volatility.…

Why Did Powell's Dovish Speech Fail to Support Bitcoin Prices? A Deeper Look at Bitcoin's "Wilful Fall"

Why Did Powell's Dovish Speech Fail to Support Bitcoin Prices? A Deeper Look at Bitcoin's "Wilful Fall"

By Joakim Book Compiled by Tim, PANews Last Sunday night, Bitcoin experienced a flash crash, with a large negative bar appearing; even more bizarrely, Bitcoin continued to fall on Monday morning, falling below $111,000. In Bitcoin price analysis circles, it's often said that no one knows why the price moves. Sometimes, though, we do find clues, though they're not as clear-cut as we'd like. Today, I'll explore two things: the market turmoil of the past 24 hours and Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech last weekend. Bitcoin's unruly price Sunday night in Europe was a nerve-wracking time: When Bitcoin prices move like this, it's hard to say "no one knows" why. Someone must have known the reason behind the nearly $3,000 price drop in just a few minutes. Short of a specific macro event like last week, only two things could have ripped through the order book at such a rapid pace: a massive sell order or (essentially the same thing) a massive forced liquidation. Yesterday, there were signs of both: or This is an immature market, we are ridiculously small, the Bitcoin market liquidity is ridiculously low, and we are still subject to manipulation by individuals. (As is often the case in the Bitcoin world, there are always some idiots who try to make a good thing out of an obviously bad thing.) Last night’s instant 2.5% drop in Bitcoin’s price was likely a one-off event triggered by whale selling or liquidations, but the gradual diagonal decline overnight and into Monday morning, which took Bitcoin below $111,000, is more concerning. Ignore those restless whales for now, but then there was another sharp drop, so what is going on? It should have risen sharply but it is slowly falling, my God! Global macro trends are all pointing higher: why would Bitcoin's price be trading in this range? Any reasonable assessment would suggest it should double or triple. (No, we didn't break below $111,000, whether or not this was related to, caused by, or anything else related to Metaplanet's announcement of a buyout). Bitcoin prices follow their own will, and altcoins follow their own will. Bitcoin desperately needs psychological treatment: its price moves in complete caprice, disregarding market sanity or rational assessment. Even in the most optimistic bull market, it shows no concern. I've heard this called the "maximum pain theory," and even Saylor's "million-dollar cost" averaging strategy has had limited success. One of the "magic tea leaves" readings (the 128-day moving average) tells us that our Bitcoin Magazine Pro team's current forecast is $108,500. So we're likely to reach that price. Saylor and others have already sold kidneys and chairs to buy Bitcoin, so I wonder what else they have to sell. Even more frightening is that altcoins will continue to fall, hitting new lows. Our exclusive explanation is that Mr. Bailey, owner of BTC Inc., is one of the institutions operating these altcoins, and he recently lost approximately $41 million. He had previously gorged on these coins this spring, but now he is forced to purge them: some were buried in large black candlesticks triggered by liquidations, while others were buried in the slow and grueling time-weighted price decline. A certain OG cypherpunk seemed to be aware of this situation. Bitcoin Price and Powell's Movement Sometimes we do (sort of) know what's happening in the market. For example, last week at 10:00 AM Eastern Time on August 22nd, the Federal Reserve released its monetary policy framework statement and updated documents on its official website. The market generally interpreted this as a foregone conclusion that monetary policy easing was imminent. How did we know? Because all cryptocurrencies jumped in that minute, and the US dollar index plummeted in response: 9:59:49 AM: Bitcoin price is $112,393, according to Bitcoin Magazine Pro's price chart. 10:00:49: One minute later, it is $113,459 Shortly after the announcement, the price of Bitcoin soared to $115,000, a 2.3% increase. This is the kind of news that moves markets, and the sudden, massive move makes us pretty sure this is the reason. (Reference data: At 9:59, the US dollar index (DXY) was at 98.7; two minutes later, it fell to 98.15; and one minute later, it dipped to 97.8. A drop of 1% in the blink of an eye—it's amazing how much the US dollar index fluctuates!) Now we have the reason for the rally: Powell’s dovish speech. What part of his speech shook the market? Data releases like inflation figures and the Bureau of Labor Statistics' unemployment report are often accompanied by simple trading algorithms that immediately crawl website content for real-time updates and make split-second assessments, often triggering second-order trading. When humans and AI weigh in, these market fluctuations often reverse within ten, twenty, or even half an hour, ultimately resulting in a false alarm. This time, however, Bitcoin's price continued to rise throughout the weekend (until someone disrupted the fun on Sunday). Powell's remarks last week Inflation has risen slightly but is under control and is declining. GDP growth has slowed significantly Unemployment remains stable and in equilibrium (but it’s “a peculiar equilibrium” where both supply and demand fall) → Overall risk rises. They will scrap their misguided plan for average inflation targeting (based on some never-specified time period). However, Powell concluded that these risks "may warrant an adjustment in our policy stance." In the minutes and hours following Powell’s speech and statement, Bitcoin’s price surged to $117,000 before retreating to $116,000, suggesting that market participants were organically dissecting and assessing the implications of this new development. The key to my "no one knows why" view is this: No one can discern which part of Powell's statement actually mattered, because new information is always intertwined with market participants' pre-existing expectations, and we can almost never be sure what those expectations were. When we engage in such retrospective, improvisational interpretations, we are essentially playing the game of post hoc rationalization, which is really not a big deal. This is all so sad, what we need are wealthy Bitcoin players, not impoverished, distracted speculators.

Canary Capital launches the ETF MRCA

Canary Capital launches the ETF MRCA

The post Canary Capital launches the ETF MRCA appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. S-1 filing submitted to the SEC on August 25, 2025: Canary Capital puts the USA crypto ETF “Canary American‑Made Crypto ETF” with ticker MRCA on the table, designed to offer exposure to digital assets with predominantly American roots and with a planned listing on Cboe BZX. The fund aims to transparently replicate the proprietary index, operating through direct exposure – without leverage and without derivatives – and entrusting custody to a trust regulated in the United States. It should be noted that the setup is deliberately essential, with a straightforward operational architecture. According to the data collected from the analysis of public filings and reports from market operators, the SEC’s requests for clarification on crypto products tend to focus on custody, governance, and risks related to staking. Industry analysts observe that a geographical filter like the “Made‑in‑USA” requirement can facilitate regulatory dialogue on compliance aspects, while not eliminating the need for operational details (e.g., names of custodians and slashing policies). In the past, similar processes have seen documentary integrations requested by the SEC within a timeframe that typically varies from 30 to 120 days. What MRCA offers new MRCA is created to channel capital towards protocols and tokens closely linked to the development, governance, or infrastructure of the United States. The proposal includes: Physical replication of the index through the direct purchase of eligible tokens; Exclusion of stablecoin, memecoin, and tokens pegged to traditional currencies or assets; Quarterly rebalancing of the index, with criteria related to liquidity and compliance; Possibility of staking for proof‑of‑stake consensus assets through third-party providers, with rewards reinvested in the NAV; Custody entrusted to a regulated trust (based, for example, in South Dakota) and management of the majority of reserves in cold storage (custody insight). “Made‑in‑America Blockchain Index”: selection criteria and exclusions The “Made in America”…

Robinhood and Strategy fail to be included in S&P 500, sending their shares down

Robinhood and Strategy fail to be included in S&P 500, sending their shares down

PANews reported on August 26th that according to Cointelegraph, the shares of trading platform Robinhood Markets and Bitcoin asset holding company Strategy both fell in after-hours trading amid Monday's overall market decline due to their exclusion from inclusion in the S&P 500 index. S&P Dow Jones Indices announced Monday evening that Interactive Brokers Group will be added to the index, which tracks the 500 largest companies in the United States, at market open on Thursday, replacing the drugstore chain Walgreens Boots Alliance. Wall Street has long anticipated Robinhood's inclusion in the S&P 500, and Strategy recently qualified due to its rising market capitalization driven by the value of its Bitcoin holdings. Robinhood (HOOD) shares fell 0.5% to $107.40 in after-hours trading after closing down 1.26% on Monday. Strategy (MSTR) shares also fell on Monday, closing down 4.17% and falling a further 0.6% to $341 in after-hours trading.

Most Degen Memecoin Primed for 10x

Most Degen Memecoin Primed for 10x

The post Most Degen Memecoin Primed for 10x appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Fundamental and technical analysis. Charts. Economic calendars. Corporate earnings. Oil reserves. There’s simply too much information to keep track of these days if you want to trade. Any more and your brain will start to overheat. But we’re not meant to read charts or track frog wallets across three chains. That’s why Token6900 ($T6900) lifts the curtain and reveals the financial for what it truly is: our collective delusion that money has value. As a token, $T6900 lets go of any pretenses and offers zero utility. It’s not a way to get rich, but rather a worldview. It frees you of the fundamentals, indexes, and burden of finding meaning in charts. And if it’s any better than the SPX6900, that’s only because Token6900 has exactly one token more in its supply than SPX6900. Token6900 bleeds honesty. Unlike governments, it doesn’t print money, but it does ooze memes. It has a fixed total supply, so no extra tokens are minted. This is monetary policy with a clipart dolphin mascot. T6900: Ready to Moon in T-Minus 48 Hours Dressed up in early 2000s nostalgia with its mismatched colors and liberal use of Comic Sans, the Token6900 website is your gateway to its native $T6900 token. In all, there are 930,993,091 tokens, with a huge bulk of the supply going to marketing. This is still a meme coin, after all, so it needs all the buzz it can generate to tap into degens’ collective delusion. Each token currently costs $0.0071, but it won’t remain this low for too long. In two days, the presale ends with a final price of $0.007125. After that, off to the sunrise it goes. Token6900 offers a staking AP of 33% APY— a healthy passive reward for locking in your token and supporting the project. Or, you can…
