Bitcoin (BTC) has officially formed a golden cross, a technical development that traders often view as a potential signal of stronger price momentum ahead. The pattern emerged after Bitcoin’s 50-day moving average moved above its 200-day moving average, marking the first such crossover since November 2025. With the indicator now confirmed, attention is turning toward Bitcoin’s next major target: the $100,000 level. But while the golden cross offers a bullish technical signal, BTC still has several obstacles to overcome before another six-figure move becomes realistic. Could the Golden Cross Push Bitcoin Above $100,000? Historically, Bitcoin has performed strongly following golden-cross…
Solana (SOL) may be showing early signs that its prolonged downtrend is losing momentum. The cryptocurrency recorded its first positive monthly close in August 2026 after ten consecutive months of declines, giving bulls a potential foundation for a broader recovery. The change in momentum was also reflected in Solana’s longer-term technical indicators. Its monthly MACD moved toward a bullish crossover, while the monthly RSI broke above a declining trendline that had remained intact for nearly two years. However, the latest improvement should be viewed cautiously. SOL is still trading significantly below its previous peaks, and one positive monthly candle is…
The Ethereum Foundation has completed an initial assessment of 62 proposals being considered for the Hegotá network upgrade while also outlining a longer-term objective of making Ethereum’s Layer 1 resistant to quantum computing threats by the end of 2029. The Foundation announced the developments in a Sept. 7 post on X, linking to two publications that detail both the proposal review process for Hegotá and the broader priorities for Ethereum’s base-layer development. Researchers Rank Hegotá Upgrade Proposals One of the publications, titled the Hegotá EIP Opinion Post and Tier List, examines 62 Ethereum Improvement Proposals, or EIPs, that could potentially…
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has dismissed concerns that advances in artificial intelligence could cause Bitcoin to lose more than half of its value within the next two years. The debate unfolded on X on Monday after AI risk commentator Liron Shapira made a bold prediction about Bitcoin’s future. Shapira argued that there is a 50% chance BTC could fall by more than 50% over a two-year period. Buterin responded by making it clear that his own financial position already reflects the opposite view. The Theory Behind the AI-Driven Bitcoin Crash Shapira, known for hosting the Doom Debates podcast focused on…
The cryptocurrency market is closely watching Bitcoin and Ethereum as investors look for further confirmation that a broader bullish phase is beginning. Both leading cryptocurrencies have recently shown renewed strength, and many market participants are now waiting to see whether they can overcome their remaining major resistance levels. As optimism surrounding the wider crypto market continues to build, attention is increasingly shifting toward altcoins. XRP is among the digital assets attracting renewed interest, with one market analyst identifying the $1.10 region as an important level to monitor in the coming price action. XRP Faces an Important Technical Test Altcoin investors…
Zcash is emerging as one of the strongest performers in the current crypto market rally. Over the past month, ZEC has surged by nearly 100%, pushing above the $1,000 mark for the first time in almost ten years. On Friday, the privacy-focused cryptocurrency briefly reached approximately $1,045, bringing its market capitalization close to $17 billion. The last time ZEC traded at four-digit prices was during its highly volatile launch period in 2016. However, those early price levels came when only a small amount of ZEC was in circulation, making a direct comparison with today’s market somewhat misleading. Still, the recent…
Arbitrum’s native token, ARB, has moved back into the spotlight after a sharp surge in market activity and capital flowing into the network. The token climbed approximately 28% in a single day as renewed trader interest pushed momentum higher. A major factor behind the growing attention is the roughly $1.6 billion in positive bridge flows recorded across the Arbitrum ecosystem. Combined with an increase in total value locked (TVL) and a strong rebound in decentralized exchange activity, the data points to rising interest in the network. Despite the encouraging numbers, ARB still needs to hold its momentum before traders can…
Robinhood Chain has quickly become one of the most talked-about ecosystems in crypto, drawing increasing attention across Crypto X over the past month. The network’s growth has been particularly notable. According to DeFiLlama data, its total value locked surged by roughly 93% over the past 30 days, putting it ahead of several established blockchain ecosystems, including Plasma, Avalanche, and Sui. Interest is also visible across the broader trading ecosystem. DexScreener, a platform used by traders to discover and track newly launched tokens across different chains, is seeing a growing number of Robinhood Chain assets. At the same time, platforms such…
Bitcoin delivered a powerful performance in August, climbing 24.95%. Even after that rally, however, BTC remains 9.62% below its opening price for the year. The August advance appears to have been driven primarily by institutional fund flows. While funds accumulated Bitcoin aggressively, other market participants were largely using the rally as an opportunity to sell. That creates an important question heading into September: can institutional demand continue to absorb available supply, or does the market now face a period of consolidation and downside pressure? ETF Demand Reversed the Year’s Trend August’s fund inflows were significant enough to reshape the broader…
Solana (SOL) recently pushed above the key $100 level after months of difficulty breaking through this range. The asset’s latest movement has largely coincided with broader momentum in the cryptocurrency market, particularly Bitcoin (BTC). Bitcoin’s climb toward $80,000 helped fuel gains across the digital asset market. However, BTC subsequently pulled back toward the $77,000 range, and Solana has shown a similar pattern of correction. Recent market data indicates that SOL has experienced a modest decline over the last 24 hours, despite posting substantial gains over the previous two weeks and month. After its strong rally, Solana encountered selling pressure near…
