The crypto market continued its decline on Jan. 8. Bitcoin and altcoins fell as investors awaited the U.S. non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could influence Federal Reserve decisions. Bitcoin dropped from $94,500 to $89,344, while Ethereum fell below $3,057. Overall crypto market capitalization fell 1.2% to $3.17 trillion, with daily volume dropping 17% to $113 billion. Futures open interest declined 1% to $139 billion, signaling reduced leverage. Liquidations rose above $477 million, hitting Bitcoin and Ethereum bulls the hardest. Investors are watching the NFP closely. Economists expect 55,000 jobs added in December and unemployment at 4.5%, down from 4.6%. A…
XRP fell after hitting resistance near $2.40. The price was rejected at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement, aligning with the Point of Control (POC), where most trading volume historically occurs. Acceptance below the POC signals weak bullish momentum. Buyers failed to hold above the high-volume zone, suggesting the recent rally may be corrective rather than a trend reversal. Volume confirms the rejection. XRP rose into resistance on muted volume, then fell on stronger selling pressure. This imbalance indicates that demand is weak at higher prices. Focus now shifts to the value area low. This represents the lower boundary of fair value…
Chainlink (LINK) is holding key support at $12. This level aligns with the value area low and the Point of Control, where most historical trading has occurred. Buyers continue defending this zone, while sellers struggle to push price lower. A double bottom pattern is forming at this support. Double bottoms are classic reversal structures, often signaling trend changes. However, the pattern is not yet confirmed, as price still prints lower highs in the broader downtrend. If confirmed, the next target is around $19. This level coincides with major daily resistance and the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement. A move to $19 would…
Binance has launched its first regulated perpetual futures tied to traditional assets. The initial contracts track gold (XAUUSDT) and silver (XAGUSDT) and settle in the USDT stablecoin. The new products, called TradFi Perpetual Contracts, give traders round-the-clock access to conventional assets using the same perpetual futures structure common in crypto markets. Unlike traditional futures, perpetual contracts have no expiry date and use funding mechanisms to keep prices aligned with the underlying asset. The contracts are issued by Nest Exchange Limited, a Binance entity regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). Binance said it…
Bitcoin stayed around $90,000 on Thursday. U.S. job data showed a cooling economy. Jobless claims rose slightly to 208,000, below expectations of 210,000. Continuing claims climbed to 1.91 million, showing it’s still hard to find work. Broader labor trends look weak. Employers cut 1.2 million jobs in 2025, the most in five years. Hiring plans fell 34%, the lowest since 2010. Job openings dropped to a 14-month low, with fewer than one opening per unemployed worker. Bitcoin dropped briefly over 5% this week but traded near $90,464. Spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $486 million on Wednesday, following $243 million the day…
A new meme coin called Patos ($PATOS) is rapidly gaining attention in early 2026 after confirming multiple exchange listings during its presale phase, a milestone that many crypto projects fail to achieve before launch. With three confirmed centralised exchange listings already secured and an ambitious roadmap targeting 111 total exchanges, Patos is being discussed as a potential high-growth meme asset as market interest in early-stage tokens begins to rise again. Strong Early Exchange Traction Patos has officially confirmed listings on Dex-Trade, BitStorage, and AzBit, providing early access across multiple trading environments. Securing three exchanges just weeks into presale signals serious…
U.S. community banks are urging Congress to tighten stablecoin rules, warning that a loophole in current law allows crypto platforms to offer indirect yields that could pull money away from local bank deposits. In a letter sent to the Senate on Monday, the Community Bankers Council of the American Bankers Association said the GENIUS Act still allows stablecoin holders to earn returns through exchanges and affiliated platforms. The council said this undermines the law’s goal of banning yield-bearing stablecoins. The GENIUS Act, passed last year, prohibits stablecoin issuers from paying interest directly to token holders. However, bankers argue the law…
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded their first net outflow of 2026 on Tuesday, ending a short run of strong inflows at the start of the year, according to data from SoSoValue. Several major funds saw redemptions during the session. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund led the outflows, while products from Grayscale, Ark 21Shares, and VanEck also posted net withdrawals. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust moved in the opposite direction. The fund recorded net inflows on the same day, helping to offset some of the selling pressure across the broader ETF market. BlackRock’s product remains the largest U.S. Bitcoin ETF by…
Nike has quietly sold its digital fashion and NFT unit RTFKT as the global NFT market continues to shrink and major platforms pull back or change direction.
