How real is the crypto rebound? This analyst answers Investing.com -- Needham & Company told clients in a note on Monday that the recent recovery in digital assets looks durable, raising its crypto volume estimates across the exchanges and platforms it covers. "How sustainable is the crypto rebound? We believe it has legs," analyst John Todaro wrote, laying out three pillars behind the call. The first is rotation. Needham said AI stocks, which had drawn retail capital, have cooled amid regulatory pressures around the midterm elections, while retail trading in commodities such as oil and metals has also eased.  That allows capital and investor attention to shift back into crypto, which the firm said looks comparatively exciting...

Bitcoin's Next Test Is $80,000 as Jackson Hole Meeting Looms Bitcoin's Next Test Is $80,000 as Jackson Hole Meeting Looms He expects the market to hold its range, with $80,000 "an important upper boundary." Whales had stopped selling and begun to accumulate again, he wrote, though not yet at a scale that would imply "an immediate and sustained breakout," which he did not expect them to reach over the next 12 months. Tim Sun, senior researcher at HashKey, noted the change in what is driving the price rather than the level itself. A thoroughly deleveraged market, a weaker dollar, concentrated short liquidations, and returning ETF flows together suggest the market "seems to be forming a consensus around the bottom range," he said...

Bitcoin's $78,000 Recovery on Edge Amid Trump’s ‘Economic D-Day’ and CLARITY Act Bitcoin's $78,000 Recovery on Edge Amid Trump’s ‘Economic D-Day’ and CLARITY Act The President said he would listen to recommendations from SEC Chair Paul Atkins, CFTC Chair Michael Selig, and other officials. Bitcoin Price Surges as Shorts Are Wiped Out Bitcoin was trading near $76,500 at the time of reporting, up around 21% from the below-$63,000 levels seen less than a week earlier. According to analysis, Bitcoin now needs to defend the $72,300–$74,100 area to preserve the immediate breakout structure. Holding that zone could put approximately $80,000 and $82,600 in view. A drop below $68,700 would risk a retreat toward the 200-day moving average...

Ethereum ETF Pulls $221M as ETH Eyes Another Breakout Ethereum ETF Pulls $221M as ETH Eyes Another Breakout Fewer ETH sitting on exchanges can reduce immediately available selling supply. Combined with stronger ETF demand, that creates an interesting setup if buying pressure continues. The big question now is whether Ethereum can turn this ETF momentum into a sustained breakout as the $2,400 area is the next obvious test. If ETH clears it decisively while ETF inflows remain strong, the market could start looking toward the next major resistance levels. For now, the message from Wall Street is getting louder: institutions are buying the dip, and Ethereum is listening. Discover: The Best Crypto to Diversify Your Portfolio This...

Peter Schiff Calls Bitcoin’s $72K Rally a ‘Fakeout’ and Says Gold Is the Real Winner Peter Schiff Calls Bitcoin’s $72K Rally a ‘Fakeout’ and Says Gold Is the Real Winner Treasury officials have characterized the expanded buybacks as a liquidity-management measure, not quantitative easing. The purchases are also small relative to the roughly $32 trillion Treasury market, meaning they do little to resolve broader concerns over US deficits, inflation, and long-term borrowing costs. Bitcoin also remains around 18% lower in 2026 despite its rebound, leaving the latest move well below the October 2025 record above $126,000. For now, however, Schiff is betting that the same macro forces exciting Bitcoin bulls will ultimately prove far...

XRP price outlook: Can it clear $1.50? Key levels to watch before buying Investing.com -- XRP is the undisputed leader of today’s crypto surge at +13.0%, nearly doubling Bitcoin’s +7.7% gain and leaving Ethereum’s +5.0% in the dust. But the daily RSI has rocketed to 82.9 — deep overbought territory — and price is sitting right on the daily R1 pivot at $1.378. The rally is real, but the tank may need to refuel soon.  The Catalyst: Regulatory Tailwinds The entire crypto complex is surging on U.S. regulatory optimism. Trump’s call this week for Congress to pass a "fair version" of the Clarity Act — which would define clearer crypto oversight roles between the SEC and CFTC — sent Bitcoin (BTC/USD) to $77,173, its highest since late May...

Regulatory news, not macro, is what’s driving the Bitcoin breakout: analysts Investing.com -- Bitcoin’s recent breakout from its trading range was likely driven more by positive U.S. regulatory developments than by "macro ’debasement’ concerns," Citi analysts say.  The team pointed to the price response lagging the Treasury’s buyback announcement, along with ether rising faster than Bitcoin, as evidence that the "digital gold" narrative wasn’t the main driver. "We think U.S. regulatory news is a more durable explanation for the move," the analysts said.  The key factor to watch now, according to Citi, is whether the sentiment boost reverses the stall in ETF inflows seen since last October’s liquidations. A pickup in flows over the...
