    XRP Hits a Wall, Solana Slips, and Pump Puffs Its Chest: Analysis

    The crypto market has rolled into September with characteristic uncertainty, as "Red September" fears collide with mounting optimism over Federal Reserve rate cuts. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index is currently at 51 out of 100, reflecting retail caution in “neutral” territory. Meanwhile, markets are pricing in a 91.7% probability of a rate cut this month following Fed Chair Jerome Powell's dovish remarks at Jackson Hole. The broader market context shows increased volatility, with the Dow Jones I...

    The marketing team at Shein probably thought they'd found the perfect model: chiseled jawline, brooding eyes, the kind of face that could sell low-quality shirts to anyone scrolling at 2 a.m. There was just one problem—their AI-generated hunk was Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old charged with killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO last December. The shirt, a basic cotton one, appeared on Shein's website with what AI researcher Henk van Ess identified as a likely Midjourney creation. Facial recognition too...

    Bitcoin, Ethereum Settle In, But Signs Point to Volatility Ahead: Analysis

    Will crypto break the ‘Red September’ curse? There is measured optimism today in the market. The crypto market as a whole climbed 1.2% today to reclaim $3.9 trillion. Traditional markets, meanwhile, stumbled: The S&P 500 fell to 6,370 points, losing 1.39% from the previous session. In other words, crypto is again showing resilience amid tariff uncertainty and seasonal headwinds. Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP are leading the charge with approximately 2% gains, setting a cautiously bullish tone as trad...

    Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP Hold Steady as 'Red September' Kicks Off

    The cryptocurrency market is attempting to shake off the weekend blues as September begins, but history suggests this could be just the calm before the storm. Market sentiment has plummeted, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index. Sentiment has exited neutral territory and dropped into the “fear” zone, falling from 75 out of 100 in mid-August to 46 today—the worst score since mid-June. This shift in sentiment comes as traders brace for what's historically been crypto's cruelest month: “Red...

    'Red September' Is Coming—Here's What to Expect From the Bitcoin Market

    Bitcoin is trading sideways as August winds down, and crypto traders are doing what they do every year around this time: preparing for pain. The phenomenon known as "Red September," or “The September Effect,” has haunted markets for nearly a century. The S&P 500 has averaged negative returns in September since 1928, making it the index's only consistently negative month. Bitcoin's track record is worse—the cryptocurrency has fallen an average of 3.77% each September since 2013, crashing eight ti...

    Altcoin Season? These Coins Are Soaring as Bitcoin and Ethereum Take a Breather

    Grab your umbrellas crypto traders, it looks like altcoin season might be here again. Altcoin season refers to periods when alternative cryptocurrencies significantly outperform Bitcoin, typically marked by capital rotation from BTC into smaller, more volatile assets. It's essentially a great time for non-Bitcoin maxis. During a relatively brief period—typically weeks or months—the values of altcoins soar as investors move their funds from Bitcoin to other coins. With the crypto market holding a...

    Heatwaves Age Your Body Like Smoking or Drinking, 15-Year Study Finds

    Want to live on a sunny beach after retirement? Think again. Repeated exposure to heatwaves ages the human body at rates comparable to smoking cigarettes or drinking heavily, according to research that tracked nearly 25,000 adults in Taiwan for 15 years. The study, published in Nature this week, found that for every additional 1.3 degrees Celsius of cumulative heat exposure, participants aged biologically by 0.023 to 0.031 years—roughly 8 to 11 days.

    Moon or Doom: Solana Surge Leads Crypto Rebound—Where Does SOL Go Next?

    Solana is shining again today, a bright spot in an otherwise mostly sideways crypto market. Bitcoin and Ethereum, the leading crypto assets by market capitalization, have experienced marginal gains of roughly 2% each, helping to boost the overall market above $3.9 trillion once again. But Solana is leading the charge among crypto majors, up a sizable 8% in the last 24 hours, currently trading above $209. Can SOL sustain this momentum?

    Will Ethereum Go Higher? Markets Remain Bullish: Analysis

    The recent crypto market dip isn’t deterring Ethereum bulls: They’re still betting ETH goes higher. Prediction market traders on Myriad, a market developed by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, remain convinced that Ethereum hits the $5,000 price mark sooner rather than later, notching a new all-time high in the process. While Ethereum currently hovers near $4,500 after a wild up-and-down weekend, traders on Myriad place the odds of ETH hitting $5K in the next four months at around 80% on one mark...

    More Pain Ahead? Bitcoin and Ethereum Charts Show Mixed Signals: Analysis

    The crypto market has started the week off in a sea of red after a massive Bitcoin sell-off from a single whale triggered cascading liquidations across the board. It’s a reminder that studying trends and cautiously reviewing charts can only take you so far in the volatile world of crypto assets. Every now and then, unforeseen events—a black swan, or a big red whale—can flip the script in an instant.

    Crypto markets have come alive following dovish remarks today from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The Fed chairman opened the door to interest rate cuts during a speech at Jackson Hole, which both traditional and crypto markets had been eagerly awaiting—though not necessarily expecting. Crypto climbed back above the $4 trillion mark and the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped as much as 900 points, up to 2% on the day, after Powell suggested interest rate cuts could be on the way.

    What a difference a week has made for XRP. Just last week, it looked like the stars were aligning for members of the XRP Army. The Ripple-linked token had just come off an all-time high price of $3.65—a record that had stood for eight long years—and the bullish vibes were back. Now? Not so much. On Myriad, a prediction market created by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, users last week placed the odds of XRP hitting $4 at 66%. Fast forward to today, and those odds have collapsed to a coin flip: 5...

    Crypto markets appear to be entering a cautious rebound mode even as sentiment shifts towards "fear." Bitcoin dropped to just above $113,000 yesterday, a 2% dip that bulls are attempting to erase today. And while the broader market shows mixed signals, there are few risky risk-on crypto assets showing signs of strength: Ethereum, Solana, and the DeFi staple Chainlink. First, the bigger picture: The release of July FOMC meeting minutes today and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's Jackson Hole...

    Crypto markets continue their slide, cooling off from a red hot July. Bitcoin, of course, sets the tone, and it's down again today to mark a nearly three-week low. But two of the crypto majors today are suffering worse than most: Dogecoin and XRP. Total market capitalization has plunged 3.4% today to below $3.9 trillion just weeks after setting a new all-time high above $4.2 trillion. As you might expect from such a drop, trading volume has dried up, falling nearly 7% today to $180 billion. The...
