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.

Fibonacci suggests 6560 is the next upside target for the SP500

The post Fibonacci suggests 6560 is the next upside target for the SP500 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In our previous update from July 31 we anticipated for the SP500 (SPX), based on the Elliott Wave (EW) Principle, that “… now that the $6380-6460 zone has been reached, and since price is the ultimate judge—though timing can sometimes help—the index is in a range where a pullback is more likely to start.” The index reached a high of 6427 on the same day and dropped to as low as 6212 the next day. So far, so good. Afterwards, another rally began, reaching a high of 6481 on August 15. This week’s low at 6343 is significant because it suggests the index is completing its final 4th and 5th waves from the rally that started in April. See Figure 1 below. Figure 1. Our preferred long-term Elliott Wave count We have shared this chart before, albeit without the wave count since the April low, as we see the index in a prolonged bull run, labeled as Primary-V in blue, which began at the notorious COVID-19 low in March 2020. The blue Primary IV. Bull runs move in five waves, and there haven’t been five upward waves since that low. Thus, there’s more to come. Specifically, due to the February high at exactly the black 100% extension and the April low at the exact 50% extension, we consider the SPX to be in an ending diagonal (ED). The three larger advancing waves (1, 3, 5) within an ED can comprise three smaller waves. In this case, the black W-3 is subdividing into three smaller red waves: a-b-c. Additionally, the target range for a third wave in an ED typically falls between the 123.6% and 138.2% extension of the black W-1 (from the March 2020 to January 2021 rally), measured from the black W-2 low (October 2022): 6738-7121. Therefore, the high…

USD/CHF slides to three-week low as markets price in September Fed cut

The post USD/CHF slides to three-week low as markets price in September Fed cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CHF drops nearly 1% to 0.8000 after briefly hitting a two-week high earlier in the day. Fed Chair Powell struck a cautious balance at Jackson Hole, reinforcing expectations for a September cut. CME FedWatch pricing shows a 90% probability of a 25 bps September cut, up from around 70% earlier in the day. The Swiss Franc (CHF) surges against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday after Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium triggered a broad-based Greenback selloff. At the time of writing, USD/CHF is trading near 0.8003, down almost 1% on the day after briefly touching 0.8104, its highest level in nearly two weeks, before reversing to its lowest in around three and a half weeks. In his keynote, Powell delivered a cautious message that reinforced expectations of a September rate cut while avoiding a firm commitment. On tariffs, he acknowledged that “the effects on consumer prices are now clearly visible” and warned that they could accumulate in the coming months with “high uncertainty about timing and amounts.” He stressed that the critical question for monetary policy is whether these price increases risk entrenching inflation, but judged the base case to be “relatively short-lived — a one-time shift in the price level.” More broadly, Powell described the near-term outlook as a “challenging situation,” with inflation risks tilted to the upside and employment risks leaning lower. He stressed that the Fed’s policy is now closer to neutral compared to a year ago, allowing officials to “proceed carefully” as they weigh future moves. Importantly, Powell reiterated that monetary policy is not on a preset course, and decisions will remain data-dependent in line with the Fed’s dual mandate. The August employment and inflation reports, scheduled before the September FOMC meeting, will be important inputs into that assessment.…

USD/JPY retreats as Powell’s remarks fuel September rate cut bets

The post USD/JPY retreats as Powell’s remarks fuel September rate cut bets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/JPY drops nearly 1% to 146.66 as traders react to Powell’s Jackson Hole remarks, retreating from an intraday high of 148.78. Fed Chair Jerome Powell highlighted downside risks to jobs and uncertainty from higher tariffs, keeping a cautious but flexible policy stance. Markets sharply increased Fed rate cut bets; CME FedWatch now shows 90% probability of a 25 bps September cut, up from 70% earlier. The Japanese Yen (JPY) advances strongly against the US Dollar (USD) on Friday, with USD/JPY retreating from an intraday high of 148.78 to trade near 146.66, down almost 1% on the day. The pullback marks a reversal from the pair’s strongest level in three weeks, as investors unwound US Dollar positions following Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s cautious remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Powell’s address at Jackson Hole fueled speculation that the Fed is preparing to recalibrate monetary policy, as he acknowledged rising downside risks to employment and flagged uncertainty from higher tariffs. While he avoided committing to a September move, his balanced tone prompted markets to push rate cut expectations sharply higher, sending Treasury yields lower and triggering a broad US Dollar selloff. The shift in expectations was reflected in the CME FedWatch Tool, which now shows a 90% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in September, up from around 70% earlier in the day. The repricing sparked heavy US Dollar selling, with the US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the Greenback against a basket of six major currencies, retreating from a two-week high of 98.83. At the time of writing, the index is trading near 97.75, erasing all the gains registered earlier this week. Japanese Yen Price Today The table below shows the percentage change of Japanese Yen (JPY) against listed major currencies today. Japanese Yen was the strongest…
