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.

Bitcoin Price Nears $113,500 Amid a Fresh US Sell-Off

Bitcoin Price Nears $113,500 Amid a Fresh US Sell-Off

The post Bitcoin Price Nears $113,500 Amid a Fresh US Sell-Off appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key points: Bitcoin selling pressure increases as US stocks dip at the Wall Street open. BTC price almost hits $113,500 as over $100 million in longs gets liquidated in an hour. ETF flows are now key as onchain fundamentals start “weakening.” Bitcoin (BTC) fell to near two-week lows at Tuesday’s Wall Street open as US selling pressure surged. BTC/USD one-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView BTC price action “not a sign of strength” Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD dropping beneath $114,000. Bitcoin and altcoins fell with US stocks, with the Nasdaq Composite Index down 1.2% at the time of writing. Long BTC positions, subject to an ongoing squeeze, added another $116 million to their liquidation tally in an hour. Data from CoinGlass also showed bids lining up around the $112,000 mark — already a point of interest for market participants. BTC liquidation heatmap.

The downward pressure is palpable, but bulls are trying to find their footing.” BTC/USD one-day chart with 50, 100SMA. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView Alan flagged the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) at $110,950 as a potential support barrier, with the 50-day counterpart at $115,875 now important to reclaim. On exchange order books, Material Indicators identified a $25 million band of liquidity at $105,000 — “plunge protection” against a deeper market rout. “This bid liquidity does not look like it aims to get filled. It was placed to heard liquidity upward. If it fails to accomplish that and price reverts, I expect it to get rugged or moved before it gets filled,” it commented alongside a chart of liquidity and whale…

Harvard Economist Who Predicted That Bitcoin Was More Likely to Hit $100 Than $100K Finally Speaks Out

Harvard Economist Who Predicted That Bitcoin Was More Likely to Hit $100 Than $100K Finally Speaks Out

The post Harvard Economist Who Predicted That Bitcoin Was More Likely to Hit $100 Than $100K Finally Speaks Out appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kenneth Rogoff, professor of economics at Harvard University, has taken to the X social media network to address his awful Bitcoin call, which recently went viral on social media.  He has outlined the main reasons why his prediction went so terribly wrong, with the lack of “sensible” regulation being one of them.  $100,000 instead of $100 In March 2018, Rogoff told CNBC that Bitcoin was “a lot more likely” to plunge to $100 than surge to $10,000 a decade from then.  The economist insisted that the cryptocurrency was being primarily used for laundering money and evading taxes, arguing that it failed to gain significant traction as a transaction vehicle.  Back then, the esteemed Harvard professor, who has published several influential papers, argued that a global regulatory crackdown would make the price of the cryptocurrency plunge lower.  Back then, the cryptocurrency was coming off a massive bull run that propelled its price to nearly $20,000. In May 2018, however, the cryptocurrency was trading at just roughly $11,000 after a substantial correction. It went on to plunge to $3,112 in December 2018 following a truly brutal bear market.  You Might Also Like Fast-forward to 2025, however, Bitcoin is now trading at $113,260 after recently reaching a new record high of $124,128. Key reasons behind this terrible call  While addressing his horrible Bitcoin price prediction, Rogoff admitted that he was “far too optimistic” about the US “coming to its senses” about the necessity to rein in crypto with “sensible” regulation.  He also claims that he did not expect Bitcoin to compete with fiat currencies as a transaction medium.  Finally, he never expects regulators to fully embrace crypto while allegedly ignoring conflicts of interest.  So, where is Bitcoin heading next?  As reported by U.Today, commodity trader Peter Brandt previously claimed that there was a…

Please follow the Live Stream of the press conference here RBNZ press conference key quotes Next two meetings are live, no decisions have been made. OCR projection troughs around 2.5%, consistent with further cuts. Not changed view on neutral, OCR not restrictive anymore. Q2 economic activity considerably weaker than expected.

Can the Fed afford to slash interest rates?

Can the Fed afford to slash interest rates?

Investors were dealt bad news on the inflation front across both consumer and producer measures.The Consumer Price Index (CPI) came out first and increased by 2.7% compared to last year, which was in line with estimates and matched June’s pace. But the core figure that excludes food and energy prices rose by 3.1% which was slightly higher than estimates.That also marks the second consecutive month where the core measure is seeing a faster rate of change. But the Producer Price Index (PPI) is running even hotter.The PPI gained 3.3% in July compared to last year while the core figure increased by 3.7%. The monthly gain was reported at 0.9%, which was well ahead of estimates for 0.2% and was the largest gain since inflation was surging higher in early 2022.PPI measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output. That means it can lead changes in consumer price inflation. The chart below compares the annual change in CPI (green line) versus PPI (blue line), where you should watch for directional changes in inflation when PPI crosses over CPI.It’s just the latest warning that accelerating inflation could mark the second half of the year. But that’s not the only economic development that could complicate matters for the Federal Reserve.Despite the weak July payrolls report that saw major downward revisions to the prior two months, it appears that estimates for economic growth are holding up quite well.Following the latest retail sales report, the Atlanta Fed’s estimate for 3Q GDP growth is holding up at 2.5% annualized. Evidence of a strong economy along with accelerating inflation could put expectations for interest rate cuts on the backburner.This week, let’s look at leading indicators of inflation and evidence that companies are passing through tariffs in the form of higher prices. We’ll also look at metrics pointing to a resilient economy and why the economic outlook continues to support the rally in the S&P 500.The Chart ReportThe effective tariff rate currently stands at 18.6% which is the highest since 1933. One concern stemming from rising tariffs and the trade war are on the inflation picture, and if companies will pass higher costs to consumers in the form of higher prices. The PPI report is providing more evidence that businesses are increasing prices, which could show up in consumer inflation measures in the months ahead. The chart below shows the trade services component of the PPI report. It measures the margins received by wholesalers and retailers, and suggests producers are rising prices above cost.Chart from RenMac on XInvestor attention will be fixated on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech, and how the Fed is viewing the balance of risks between recent weak labor market data and rising inflation. Past speeches by Powell have delivered insights on the metrics that central bank officials are tracking to make policy decisions. That includes comments by Powell in 2022 when he discussed core inflation components to monitor price levels. Those components include core goods, shelter, and core services excluding shelter (i.e. supercore inflation). The annual change in those three components are plotted in the chart below. You can see that core goods tends to move first followed by supercore inflation and then shelter. The recent increases in core goods and supercore inflation warn of rising inflation ahead.Chart from MacroMicroDespite the higher than expected core consumer and producer inflation reports for July, investors have barely tempered expectations for interest rate cuts in the months ahead. Odds for a quarter point rate cut at the next meeting in September stand at 92%, and the 2-year Treasury yield that tends to lead changes in the fed funds rate is hovering near recent levels. But unless there are clear signs of trouble in the economy, the Fed may decide to hold rates higher for longer. The chart below shows the annual change in core CPI (blue line) and the effective fed funds rate (green line). When policy is restrictive above core CPI, the Fed only tends to drop fed funds below CPI following a recession (shaded areas).Concerns over the strength of the labor market are growing following the weaker-than-expected July payrolls report and downward revisions to the prior two months. But that weakness is not yet showing up in broader measures of economic activity. With trade war noise around the impact to consumer spending and export/import data now lessening, estimates for current quarter GDP growth are holding up. The widely-followed Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model is showing 2.5% annualized growth for the third quarter and is being driven by moderate growth in consumer spending. The NY Fed’s GDP Nowcast is echoing something similar, and stands at 2.1% annualized for the third quarter (chart below).Major stock market indexes like the S&P 500 are hovering near record high levels. A big part of the S&P’s recovery from the early April lows has been driven by mega-cap stocks like Nvidia (NVDA), which now makes up over 8% of the S&P 500 alone with its $4+ trillion market valuation. But recent performance shows that market breadth is expanding, with the NYSE advance/decline ratio hitting nearly 6 to 1 last week and is one of the strongest figures since the April lows. The recovery in the average stock is a key ingredient to keep the rally intact. Since stock prices follow corporate earnings over the long-term, evidence that the economy is holding up is supporting the profit outlook. The chart below shows that positive earnings revisions for the S&P 500 is up sharply and hitting the highest level in over three years.Heard in the HubThe Traders Hub features live trade alerts, market update videos, and other educational content for members.Here’s a quick recap of recent alerts, market updates, and educational posts:Signs that GDP growth is holding up.Post-election year S&P 500 seasonality tracking.Trade war noise in the economic data is clearing.Breaking down the chart setup in this housing fintech.A huge model portfolio winner in 2024 that could be setting up again.You can follow everything we’re trading and tracking by becoming a member of the Traders Hub.By becoming a member, you will unlock all market updates and trade alerts reserved exclusively for members.🚨Our recent 142% gain in RKLB would cover a subscription for two years if you apply this discount found in the link below:👉You can click here to join now👈Trade IdeaIREN Ltd (IREN)After breaking out over resistance at the $15.50 level, price is coming back to test that area as support.

Ethereum Price Mirrors Bitcoin 2020 Run: Parabolic Rally Ahead?

Ethereum Price Mirrors Bitcoin 2020 Run: Parabolic Rally Ahead?

The post Ethereum Price Mirrors Bitcoin 2020 Run: Parabolic Rally Ahead? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights Ethereum price is preparing for a parabolic rally, says analyst. ETH could retest $4,000 before recovering and rallying to new highs. Whale profit-taking is causing the price to stall below $4,800. Ethereum price action mirrors Bitcoin’s technical setup during the 2020 bull market when BTC kicked off its ascent from around $10,000 to that year’s high of $35,000. This rally continued gradually until the price of BTC reached $64,500 in April 2021. According to trader and analyst Ash Crypto, Ethereum’s price is following a similar trend, rising through three major phases: accumulation, breakout, and a parabolic run. At the time of writing, the leading altcoin was trading for $4,174 with a daily negative change of 4.45%. Ethereum Price is Preparing for a Parabolic Rally, Says Analyst The 1-month Ethereum chart shows a similar technical setup as Bitcoin’s 2020 bull run, according to Ash Crypto. If the pattern successfully plays out, the analyst predicted that the price of Ethereum could explode to new all-time highs, surpassing the $ 5,000 level. The parabolic run could 2x or 3x the Ethereum price from its current level, explained the analyst. Source: Ash Crypto X Will Ethereum Price Retest $4,000 Before Rally? On the 1-day chart, Ethereum is struggling to sustain an uptrend past the $4,400 level. This is happening even after the altcoin nearly broke the $5,000 upper resistance but failed to maintain the levels, causing it to drop all the way to $4,300. Nonetheless, there is strong support within the ascending trendline near the $4,000 psychological level. As such, the altcoin could retest that level before experiencing recovery. While writing, the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (RSI) was at 22, implying oversold conditions and relatively low buying strength. This suggests there are high chances of retesting lower levels before a recovery becomes…
