Tommy Fleetwood Breaks The Streak At East Lake

Tommy Fleetwood Breaks The Streak At East Lake

The post Tommy Fleetwood Breaks The Streak At East Lake appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Fleetwood carded a two-under 68 on Sunday to outpace Patrick Cantlay and Russell Henley by three shots, while Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Young, and Corey Conners finished four back. “Every tournament we play, I picture myself winning it,” Fleetwood said Friday after firing a second-round 7-under 63 to grab a share of the lead with Henley. “It’s always been that way. Obviously, this is a very coveted one and a very big one, but yeah, I always imagine winning every tournament, and this is just another one of those.” Since 2017, Fleetwood has notched 30 top-five finishes, including strong showings at the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship and Travelers Championship. He had long been regarded as the best active player without a PGA Tour victory. His breakthrough win comes with a sizable reward: a $10 million winner’s check and the title of being one of “the best players on the PGA Tour” in 2025. The elite 30-man field, featuring the season’s leaders in FedEx Cup points, carried nearly as much star power as a major championship.

Top Meme Coins DOGE and PEPE Lose Steam As Presale Sensation $LBRETT Reaches New Frenzy

Top Meme Coins DOGE and PEPE Lose Steam As Presale Sensation $LBRETT Reaches New Frenzy

The post Top Meme Coins DOGE and PEPE Lose Steam As Presale Sensation $LBRETT Reaches New Frenzy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto hype that once drove explosive rallies for top meme coins like Dogecoin and Pepe is starting to run out of steam. Trading volumes are on the decline, communities are losing momentum, and technical charts are flashing red. But while these speculative tokens stall, a new contender in the sector is rising to prominence. Layer Brett is stealing market share from Dogecoin and PEPE after its debut made ripples. Will $LBRETT grow above top meme coins like Dogecoin and Pepe? Whales abandon Pepe amid bearish patterns The daily chart indicates that Pepe has remained under pressure after rejecting the $0.0000125 supply zone. Not only has the Pepe price fallen below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, but it has also formed a clear bearish pattern. Pepe’s downtrend is further exacerbated by on-chain metrics. Whales have paused buying Pepe, with their current holdings at 8.34 trillion in August. Coinglass data shows that the futures Open Interest has tumbled from $992 million in July to $577 million in mid-August, signaling low demand. Now, analysts are looking at the all-important $0.00001 support level. If Pepe breaks below this level, it could retrace toward the key support at $0.00000826. Dogecoin open interest declines: Are investors cashing out? Like PEPE, the Dogecoin price is inching closer to a critical support, and breaking below this level could trigger massive selloffs. Amid this bearish outlook, Dogecoin’s futures Open Interest declined by 8.24% in a single day. Data from Coinglass shows that the total number of active futures contracts holding Dogecoin dropped to 15.16 billion DOGE. This is a massive decrease that brings DOGE to its bare levels since the beginning of the month. Technical market trends also support this bearish picture as the negative MACD histogram indicates seller dominance. If more liquidations follow, Dogecoin could fall…
Only 37% of Americans trust Powell as economic confidence in the Fed hits record low

Only 37% of Americans trust Powell as economic confidence in the Fed hits record low

The post Only 37% of Americans trust Powell as economic confidence in the Fed hits record low appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Only 37% of Americans say they trust Jerome Powell to make the right calls for the economy, according to Gallup. That’s it. Not even four in ten people. The Fed Chair, who is in his second term, just posted his second-worst approval rating ever. And this isn’t just a blip. The only time confidence in the position was this low in the last two decades was in 2014, when Janet Yellen was running the show. Back in 2020, Powell had 58%. Now, barely anyone’s buying what he’s selling. The Federal Reserve isn’t just dealing with inflation and unemployment anymore. It’s dealing with a public that no longer believes it has a clue what it’s doing. At the Jackson Hole symposium, Powell stepped up to deliver what’s his final headline speech as chair, just a the labor market is slowing down, which usually calls for interest rate cuts. But inflation is still alive and kicking, and the Fed doesn’t want to fuel it. Powell said an “adjustment” might be necessary, which, in Fed-speak, is code for: we’re about to cut. Powell prepares cuts as markets brace for political pressure The markets weren’t ready for that. They were expecting another boring script. What they got was Powell hinting loud and clear that rate cuts are coming, probably next month, and maybe again in the two meetings after that. The dollar tanked, bonds surged, and stocks rebounded at the end of a rough week. But there’s a risk baked into that move. The August job report doesn’t come out until September’s first week. If hiring picks up again, the Fed will have already slashed rates into a strong job market while inflation is still above target. That would be a misstep, according to Bank of America analysts, who warned that the Fed “would…

Seven-Year Dormant Bitcoin Whale Triggers Massive Liquidations

Seven-Year Dormant Bitcoin Whale Triggers Massive Liquidations

The post Seven-Year Dormant Bitcoin Whale Triggers Massive Liquidations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Dormant whale liquidates BTC for ETH, causing market upheaval. Over 130,000 traders impacted. Speculation on further market volatility. A historic Bitcoin whale, long dormant, has sparked massive market disruption by liquidating over $628 million in BTC and swapping it for Ethereum, affecting thousands worldwide. This monumental shift has significant implications, potentially destabilizing markets and shifting emphasis from Bitcoin to Ethereum, as evidenced by increased institutional interest and strategic positioning. Dormant Whale’s $628M Liquidation Sends Shockwaves A Bitcoin whale, inactive for seven years, initiated a widespread market impact by liquidating 6,000 BTC. This action involved swapping Bitcoin for Ethereum, escalating liquidation events across the market. Analysts, including Coincu, have noted that the whale shifted significant holdings from Bitcoin to Ethereum, questioning motives behind these transactions. The whale retains 67,118 BTC, yet gained approximately 278,490 ETH, highlighting strategic market shifts. Reactions are mixed, with some experts predicting further volatility. Samson Mow, founder of Jan3, mentioned, “ETH holders may reverse BTC-to-ETH trades once price targets are met, risking market instability.” Crypto Market Braces for Regulatory Scrutiny Did you know? An ancient whale’s portfolio rotation parallels past events where similar behavior led to cascading market effects. Historic crypto shifts by major holders often triggered notable fluctuations in asset valuations. Bitcoin (BTC) currently trades at $113,445.35, with a market cap of $2.26 trillion and a dominance of 57.16%. Within the last 24 hours, BTC’s price declined by 1.64%. By contrast, a 90-day increase shows a 3.68% rise. Data sourced from CoinMarketCap evidences market trends. Bitcoin(BTC), daily chart, screenshot on CoinMarketCap at 00:05 UTC on August 25, 2025.

Russia says Putin has no plans to meet Zelensky as Ukraine hit nuclear and gas plants in Moscow

Russia says Putin has no plans to meet Zelensky as Ukraine hit nuclear and gas plants in Moscow

The post Russia says Putin has no plans to meet Zelensky as Ukraine hit nuclear and gas plants in Moscow appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Russia just shut down the idea of peace talks between President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, despite U.S. President Donald Trump saying that he had started arranging a sit-down. Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that there’s no scheduled meeting. “Putin is ready to meet with Zelensky, when the agenda would be ready for a summit,” Lavrov said. Then he added, “And this agenda is not ready at all.” Trump had a face-to-face meeting with Putin in Alaska, then later hosted Zelensky at the White House with some European leaders in attendance. But while Trump was selling the idea of diplomacy, Russia didn’t hit pause. Instead, missile strikes on Ukraine ramped up again, one of them targeting an electronics plant tied to a U.S. company. That strike, coming days after the meetings, raised even more questions about whether Trump actually has any influence on ending the war. JD Vance, Trump’s vice president, tried to keep a straight face during his own NBC interview, saying they’re still betting on “energetic diplomacy” to end the war. “We’re going to eventually be successful, or we’ll hit a brick wall,” Vance said. “And if we hit a brick wall, then we’re going to continue this process of negotiation, of applying leverage.” That “leverage” seemed nowhere in sight by Sunday night, when Russia publicly blamed Ukraine for a drone assault on a nuclear power station. Ukraine attacks Kursk reactor and oil pipeline in the same 24 hours During Ukraine’s 34th Independence Day, drone strikes hit the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant in western Russia, near the Ukrainian border. Reactor number three’s capacity dropped by 50 percent, and Russian officials said other power infrastructure also got hit in the overnight strikes. According to the plant’s news update on Telegram,…
