FC Barcelona Takes Top Spot Early On

FC Barcelona Takes Top Spot Early On

The post FC Barcelona Takes Top Spot Early On appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Lamine Yamal was among the goalscorers in ;allorca. Getty Images Spanish soccer returned in style with an action-packed matchweek one to start the 2025/26 La Liga season. With all 20 teams in action, it is defending champion Barcelona who have ended up topping the pile after a 3-0 win over Mallorca in the Balearic Islands. Elsewhere, Real Oviedo made their long-awaited return to the top flight action and it seemed to be going perfectly until Salomón Róndon missed a penalty, and Villarreal then showed the distance in quality between the two teams to secure a 2-0 win. Real Madrid also began the Xabi Alonso era in La Liga with a 1-0 win over Osasuna, also with new coach Alessio Lisci, as Los Blancos required a Kylian Mbappé penalty to open the scoring. Sevilla also welcomed new coach Matías Almeyda in a thrilling 3-2 defeat to Athletic Club. There were surprises in store as Atlético Madrid crashed to a 2-1 defeat away to Espanyol and lowly Getafe, with not even a full squad of players available, beat Celta Vigo 2-0 on the road. The storylines of La Liga matchweek one MVP of the week Beyond the goals, assists and tackles, there can be little arguing with the star of the show in this opening weekend being Santi Cazorla of Real Oviedo. Having returned to his boyhood club for one last hurrah and helping them earn promotion back to Primera, it was poetic that he would start what is likely to be his final season back at his former club Villarreal. Coming off the bench with his team already well-beaten, Cazorla was given a hero’s welcome, as he is likely to receive at stadiums across Spain this season. Surprise of the week Atlético Madrid had never lost an opening game of the…

5 NFL Players Who Can Help You Win

5 NFL Players Who Can Help You Win

The post 5 NFL Players Who Can Help You Win appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – SEPTEMBER 15: Braelon Allen #0 of the New York Jets scores a second half touchdown against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium on September 15, 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Justin Ford/Getty Images) Getty Images Fantasy football draft season is truly here as the start of the 2025 NFL campaign is just three weeks away. With fantasy draft season comes a collection of mock drafts and fantasy football player rankings from various digital sites to assist draftees in creating their league-winning teams. The common saying from many veteran fantasy football players is that leagues are won through the draft’s middle rounds and waiver wire. While waivers are a behemoth in itself, your luck boils down to injuries and opportunities. The draft is a selection-based process that fantasy players can more so control. Below are five mid-round fantasy football players according to their Average Draft Position across standard, half points per reception and full points per reception leagues that could help a draftee win their fantasy championship. 1. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: (ADP 107.7) TAMPA, FLORIDA – AUGUST 9: Emeka Egbuka #9 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers runs downfield during an NFL preseason football game against the Tennessee Titans at Raymond James Stadium on August 9, 2025 in Tampa, Florida. (Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images) Getty Images Egbuka was the Buccaneers’ first-round selection in this year’s NFL draft and will have a great chance to serve as the team’s primary receiving option opposite future Hall of Famer Mike Evans during his rookie tenure. The reasoning is mainly due to the team’s primary second-option receiver, Chris Godwin, nursing an ankle injury from last season that will likely lead to him missing 2025 regular-season time. Before Godwin suffered the injury last season, he received 62 targets and…

the market holds its breath

the market holds its breath

The post the market holds its breath appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Update at 08:00 UTC on August 19, 2025 — The crypto sector turns negative: 92 of the top 100 tokens close down as traders reduce risk ahead of the speech by Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium (August 21-23, 2025) (Kansas City Fed). Liquidity is thinning, increasing the probability of sharp movements on BTC and ETH in the next 24–48 hours. In this context, caution prevails. According to the data collected by our analysis desk together with market providers (CoinGlass, Deribit), the reduction in depth on spot order books is evident in the last 48 hours, with total liquidations exceeding the values listed. Sector analysts also observe an increase in the intraday correlation between cryptovalute and nominal yields of US Treasuries, a phenomenon that accentuates price reactions to macro signals. Market in numbers: capitalization, volumes, and price action Data recorded at 08:00 UTC on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko: Total capitalization: approximately $3.96 trillion. 24h Volumes: approximately $154 billion. Bitcoin (BTC): ~$115,118, -0.1% over 24 hours. Ethereum (ETH): ~$4,237, -0.7% over 24 hours. BNB: +1.3% (best among the top 10). Liquidations: over $270 million in the last 24 hours, with a prevalence on long positions on ETH and BTC (CoinGlass). Main Takeaways Thin liquidity: increases the market’s sensitivity to macro titles and ETF flows. Short-term volatility: options and derivatives indicate risk concentrated in the very short term. Why are cryptos going down today The combination of a potentially stronger dollar, rising yields, and anticipation for the Fed prompts traders to reduce exposure. It should be noted that, near major macro events, desks and market makers tend to reduce net risk: this results in larger movements on volatile assets like cryptocurrencies. In this context, intraday flows (ETFs and derivatives) can have significant percentage impacts on prices due to reduced liquidity.…

Bitcoin Bull Run Hinges On Trump’s Pick For Fed Chair: Analyst

Bitcoin Bull Run Hinges On Trump’s Pick For Fed Chair: Analyst

Bitcoin’s next major leg higher may depend less on halving lore and more on personnel politics in Washington. In an August 18 market note on X, economist and crypto analyst Alex Krüger argued that the cycle’s duration will be set by the Federal Reserve’s leadership change—specifically, who President Trump nominates to replace Jerome Powell—rather than by any fixed four-year pattern. “I have a high degree of confidence this cycle is not over because I am expecting changes in the Fed to bring on considerably more dovish monetary policy, which is not priced in at the moment; this would start to get priced in once Trump announces his nominee to replace Powell,” Krüger wrote. Bitcoin Bull Run Depends On New Fed Chair Krüger dismissed worries that a pullback from record highs marks the top, calling it “remarkable how every time you get a correction from new highs so many people start to fret about the cycle top. Over and over again.” He reiterated his longstanding critique of the halving-cycle orthodoxy: “The concept of a 4 year cycle in 2025 is misplaced; [it] died two cycles ago, and 2021 was a coincidence, as it was macro driven.” In his view, the last cycle ended because the Fed turned “ultra-hawkish in January 2022,” not because of any endogenous Bitcoin dynamic. Related Reading: Crypto Braces For Impact As JPow’s Jackson Hole Speech Looms The nomination clock is visible. Powell’s current four-year term as chair ends on May 15, 2026, and reporting over the past two weeks indicates the White House has narrowed a shortlist to “three or four” names, with an announcement potentially coming sooner than expected. Candidates floated in mainstream coverage include former Fed governor Kevin Warsh and NEC Director Kevin Hassett among others, underscoring the market’s focus on how dovish—or not—the next chair might be. In the nearer term, the policy calendar still drives the tape. Powell’s final Jackson Hole appearance, scheduled during the Aug. 21–23 symposium, is widely framed as a tone-setting moment before the September FOMC. Consensus coverage flags the risk that Powell leans hawkish to preserve optionality, even as rates markets handicap a cut next month; Krüger leans “slightly bearish into it as a hawkish speech (to reduce the odds of a September cut) makes sense, for the Fed to retain optionality and not let the market push itself into a corner.” Technically, Bitcoin has cooled after printing fresh all-time highs in mid-July and again last week. Traders are watching the previous $112,000 high as initial downside cushion, with the psychologically critical $100,000 level, the overhead reference remains the $122,000–$124,000 zone of recent peaks. Krüger also highlights that “BTC is having a very hard time going up sans leverage without triggers,” a point echoed by derivatives signals showing compressed risk appetite. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bulls Must Survive Brutal September Before Q4 Hope, Analyst Predicts Derivatives and volatility gauges corroborate the “low-vol, slow ascent” regime he describes. Implied volatility on BTC options (DVOL/BVIV) has sat near two-year lows, and open interest on institutional venues remains off July highs, signaling a more measured stance from levered players into Jackson Hole. Krüger also observed that futures basis had eased alongside the pullback—a classic sign of froth leaking out—while options markets show a renewed bid for downside protection on dips. The macro through-line is straightforward: if the Fed chair nomination tilts dovish, markets will begin discounting a looser stance well before the first policy move, extending the cycle; if the candidate (and subsequent guidance) skews restrictive, the liquidity impulse that powered Bitcoin’s post-ETF advance will fade at the margin. For now, the immediate catalysts are stacked—Powell at Jackson Hole, followed by PCE, NFP, CPI and PPI into September’s FOMC—while price trades between well-defined levels with volatility suppressed. As Krüger put it, bull markets “don’t end because of valuations or over-extension; the end needs a major trigger.” In 2025, that trigger may well be a name. At press time, BTC traded at $115,683.
