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.

USD softer but broader consolidation extends – Scotiabank

USD softer but broader consolidation extends – Scotiabank

The post USD softer but broader consolidation extends – Scotiabank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar (USD) has spent most of August range trading between 97.50/75 and the upper 98 region in DXY terms and so it continues as month end approaches, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report. USD range trade continues ahead of month end & key data releases “Spot trading remains on the light side in turnover terms and the range of challenges facing investors is doing little to resolve the USD’s general consolidation at this point. On the session so far, the USD is tracking a little lower overall but losses are limited after yesterday’s abrupt slide amid focus on the Fed and the steepening US yield curve. Movement among the majors remains relatively limited.” “The AUD is a moderate outperformer despite disappointing Q2 capital expenditure data last night while the MXN, ZAR and GBP sit near the foot of the overnight performance league, registering the bare minimum in terms of gains on the USD. A raft of US data reports this morning may not move the market narrative along significantly. US Q2 GDP data may be revised slightly higher but recall that the first estimate of growth showed real final sales (reflecting total goods and services purchases of households and businesses) slid to the lowest since late 2022, suggesting some fragility in the growth picture.” “It may be that comments from Fed Governor Waller (voter, dovish dissenter) on monetary policy this evening (18ET) gives market participants reason enough to remain more or less sidelined for now. Technically, last Friday’s sell-off in the DXY remains the salient feature of the short-term (daily) chart and the outside range signal that developed around that move should mean that solid resistance for the index sits in the upper 98 region. Support for the index is 97.65.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/usd-softer-but-broader-consolidation-extends-scotiabank-202508281113

Bitcoin Braces for Volatility as $116K Options Expiry Looms

Bitcoin Braces for Volatility as $116K Options Expiry Looms

The post Bitcoin Braces for Volatility as $116K Options Expiry Looms appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin faces a major volatility event with the massive end-of-month options expiry approaching. The “max pain” price, where most contracts expire worthless, is located around $116,000. The expiry adds weight to a warning from Peter Brandt that BTC could be in a bearish pattern. Bitcoin (BTC) bounced 2.1% over the past 24 hours to trade near $113,144, leading a mild rebound across the crypto market. But a legendary trader is warning this could be a deceptive rally. The move follows strong performances from altcoins like Solana (SOL), which gained over 5% to hit $211.4, and Cronos (CRO), which exploded 56.8% to $0.35. According to market data from CoinGecko, Solana’s price has gained over 5% in the past 24 hours to trade at about $211.4 at the time of this writing. On the other hand, CRO price has rallied 56.8% in the last 24 hours to hover about 35 cents. As a result, the total crypto market cap edged 1.5% higher in the past 24 hours to hover about $3.99 trillion.

Veteran futures trader Peter Brandt has signaled a midterm bearish outlook for Bitcoin unless the price reclaims the $117,570 support level.  His analysis aligns with his earlier prediction that Bitcoin would top out between $120k and $150k this cycle. Source: Peter Brandt Brandt highlights that BTC is trapped in a distribution phase following last weekend’s big sell-off. On the weekly chart, he cautions that Bitcoin could be forming a bearish double top pattern, which is coupled with a bearish divergence on the Relative Strength Index (RSI).

Economy is going through an adjustment process

Economy is going through an adjustment process

The post Economy is going through an adjustment process appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In an interview with CNBC on Wednesday, Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank of New York President John Williams said that he expects the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth will continue to slow, per Reuters. Key takeaways “Economy is going through an adjustment process.” “Expect on the whole GDP will grow 1% to 1.5% on the year.” “Still think the labor market is solid.” “Unemployment rate is low, but hiring has slowed.” “Weaker job growth tied to both slowing demand and slowing supply growth.” “Breakeven rate of job growth is hard to estimate.” “Wage growth continues to be consistent with a solid labor market and inflation moderating towards 2% target.” “Progress on inflation is very slow now, hard to separate out tariff impact.” “Watching services inflation carefully.” “Perhaps four or five tenths of a percentage point on core PCE is due to higher tariffs.” “If the economy evolves as expected at some point interest rates need to be closer to neutral.” “Policy still modestly restrictive, inflation gradually coming down.” “Fed has to be driven by the data.” “Risks to jobs and inflation are moving closer to balance.” “Do not want the labor market to weaken too much, but want inflation back to 2%.” Market reaction These comments received a neutral score of 5.2 from FXStreet Fed Speech Tracker. In turn, the FXStreet Fed Sentiment Index stays near 104, reaffirming the neutral stance. The US Dollar (USD) preserves its strength following these comments. At the time of press, the USD Index was up 0.4% on the day at 98.60. Fed FAQs Monetary policy in the US is shaped by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed has two mandates: to achieve price stability and foster full employment. Its primary tool to achieve these goals is by adjusting interest rates. When prices are rising too…

JPMorgan Chase: Current Bitcoin price is "too low" and expects it to rise to $126,000 by the end of the year

JPMorgan Chase: Current Bitcoin price is "too low" and expects it to rise to $126,000 by the end of the year

PANews reported on August 28 that JPMorgan analysts said that Bitcoin's current price is "too low" compared to gold because its volatility has fallen to a historical low; Bitcoin's volatility has dropped from nearly 60% at the beginning of the year to about 30% now, a record low; therefore, Bitcoin's fair value is approximately US$126,000, and this target is expected to be achieved before the end of the year. Analysts say that factors such as corporate capital accumulation, index-driven inflows, and declining volatility have combined to increase Bitcoin's investment value. Lower volatility makes it easier for institutional investors to allocate capital, and the risk-adjusted valuations of Bitcoin and gold are now closer than ever. Analysts say that the volatility ratio of Bitcoin to gold has fallen to 2.0—the lowest level on record—meaning that Bitcoin consumes twice as much risk capital as gold in current portfolio allocations. Based on this, for Bitcoin's $2.2 trillion market capitalization to match the approximately $5 trillion in private gold investment, its market capitalization would need to increase by approximately 13%, or a theoretical price of $126,000. Analysts also note that this gap has shifted, from trading $36,000 above this fair value level at the end of 2024 to approximately $13,000 below it today, indicating that Bitcoin still has potential for further growth.

Support for more blockchain networks will be expanded over time based on user demand.
