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.

Nasdaq suffers sharpest drop since August as AI optimism fades

Nasdaq suffers sharpest drop since August as AI optimism fades

The post Nasdaq suffers sharpest drop since August as AI optimism fades appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US technology shares slid on Tuesday in New York trading as fresh doubts about the boom in artificial intelligence rippled through 2025’s biggest winners, pushing the Nasdaq Composite to its sharpest one-day fall since August 1 and dragging broader equities lower. Nvidia, the chip maker that recently became the first company with a $4 trillion valuation as reported by Cryptopolitan earlier, fell by 3.5% in stock valuation. Palantir, a major software company, dipped by 9.4% whereas Arm, a growing chip designer, lost 5% in stock valuation. At the same time, the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite edged lower by 1.4%. At the same time, S&P 500 slipped by 0.7%. Stock selling spilled into Asia on Wednesday. Nikkei 225 in Japan fell by 1.8% while Kospi in South Korea fell lower by 1.9%. The Hang Seng index in Hong Kong also suffered, as it shed 0.6%, mirroring weakness on Wall Street. Traders pointed to a critical assessment published Monday by MIT’s affiliate as one reason for the pullback. The researchers mentioned “95 per cent of organizations are getting zero return” from their spending on gen AI, the tech that helped propel US stocks to record levels. The latest bout of concern arrives after 7 months since China’s DeepSeek rattled markets by claiming AI advancement with significantly lesser computing power as compared to rivals from the US. While shares later steadied, the episode highlighted how sensitive investors remain to negative headlines. Declines were led by several of the year’s top performers Advanced Micro Devices and Oracle, both among five best large-cap gainers since May, shed 5.9% and 5.4%, respectively. AppLovin, on the other hand, which serves adverts in applications, lost 5.9%.  In the crypto markets, Bitcoin reduced by 2.7%, weighing on stocks linked with the broader crypto market including Metaplanet and Strategy.  “The market…

Bitcoin Price Wedge Pattern Points to a 46% Crash Ahead of Jackson Hole Speech

Bitcoin Price Wedge Pattern Points to a 46% Crash Ahead of Jackson Hole Speech

The post Bitcoin Price Wedge Pattern Points to a 46% Crash Ahead of Jackson Hole Speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin price strong rally could be nearing its end as it slowly formed a highly bearish chart pattern on the daily chart timeframe. While it is not clear when the BTC crash will happen, the upcoming Jackson Hole speech by Jerome Powell may be a catalyst. Bitcoin Price Wedge Pattern is Ending The weekly timeframe suggests that the recent Bitcoin price surge is nearing its end. This chart shows that the Average Directional Index (ADX) has lost momentum at 28 and is moving sideways. An asset is said to be in a strong trend when this indicator is moving upwards.  Most importantly, the weekly chart shows that it has formed a rising wedge pattern. The upper side of this wedge is formed by connecting the highest swings since March last year. On the other hand, the lower trendline links the lower highs since August 2024.  The two lines are now nearing their confluence level as the spread between the two lines narrows. These meeting points then normally leads to a strong bearish breakout.  BTC price has also formed more bearish chart patterns. Oscillators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the PPO have been forming a bearish patterns known as a divergence.  The chart shows that the RSI indicator peaked at 87.75 in March last year and has formed lower highs and lower lows. Similarly, the Percentage Price Oscillator has been in a slow downward trend.  Therefore, the combination of a rising wedge and the divergences means that the Bitcoin price may be on the cusp of a strong bearish breakdown. Such a move could push it below $100. In fact, the wedge pattern predicts a deeper dive than that. Measuring the distance in its widest part and then extrapolating the same one from the breakout point brings the target…

Bitcoin set for a ‘full flush’ towards $100,000; What’s next?

Bitcoin set for a ‘full flush’ towards $100,000; What’s next?

The post Bitcoin set for a ‘full flush’ towards $100,000; What’s next? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin (BTC) is showing signs of weakness after failing to break through critical resistance levels, but an analyst is suggesting the current bearish momentum may be short-lived, though investors should brace for more near-term losses. According to analysis by Master Ananda in a TradingView post on August 20, Bitcoin’s inability to move past the $122,524 resistance level has triggered a double-top bearish signal, pointing to the likelihood of a deeper correction in the short term. Bitcoin price analysis chart. Source: TradingView The next key level to watch is the 1.618 Fibonacci extension at $102,077, which Ananda identified as the main support target, with the possibility of a further drop toward $100,000. While $112,000 has provided temporary support, the analyst believes it is unlikely to hold given the current long-term chart structure. The correction, however, is expected to last only a few more days before Bitcoin finds its footing. Altcoins, which typically mirror BTC’s volatility, may also face short-term turbulence but are projected to recover quickly. Despite the pullback, Ananda stressed that the broader crypto bull market remains intact. “A drop toward $100,000 (above) would mean a full flush for Bitcoin and the doors opening for a new major wave of growth. Make no mistake, the current move is running its course. Bitcoin is likely to drop only for a few more days. Settle the low, recover long-term. The altcoins will shake but will also recover in a matter of days. This is a momentary event, Crypto will continue to grow. The bull market is not over. The best is yet to come,” teh analysts said.  Retail investors in panic  Still, investor sentiment has turned increasingly bearish. Data from Santiment shows the ongoing Bitcoin correction has shifted retail traders’ enthusiasm into panic, pushing social sentiment to its lowest level since June…

XRP slips under $3 as whales dump 470M tokens

XRP slips under $3 as whales dump 470M tokens

The post XRP slips under $3 as whales dump 470M tokens appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP has retraced below the $3 psychological level after whales offloaded nearly half a billion tokens, raising questions about whether the market is bracing for a deeper correction. Summary XRP dropped below $3 as whales sold 470M tokens in 10 days. Despite the sell-off, over 93% of holders remain in profit. Technicals suggest neutral momentum with risks of further downside. XRP (XRP) slipped under the $3 mark on Aug. 20, trading at $2.88 at press time, down about 4% in the past 24 hours. The token has now shed 10% in the last week and 17% over the past month, standing nearly 20% below its all-time high of $3.65 set in July. Whale selling adds pressure to XRP price On an Aug. 20 post on X, analyst Ali Martinez noted that whales have sold around 470 million XRP in the last 10 days, raising concerns about mounting selling pressure. Large liquidations like this frequently slow down price momentum, especially when overall market sentiment is waning. Despite the pullback, more than 90% of XRP’s circulating supply has remained in profit since mid-July, as per Glassnode data, with holders still averaging profit margins above 90%. This unusually high profitability ratio, combined with the completion of Ripple’s years-long legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission suggests much of the good news may already be priced in.  Analysts warn that such extended profit levels can trigger heavier profit-taking if markets face another bearish shock. XRP technical analysis The technical indicators for XRP show a cautious outlook. While oscillators like the MACD flash sell signals, the relative strength index is at 42, indicating that the market is neither overbought nor oversold. Momentum suggests a potential short-term relief, but moving averages paint a different picture. XRP daily chart. Credit: crypto.news XRP has consistently traded below…

HBAR Drops 2.5% After Breaking Key Support Levels

HBAR Drops 2.5% After Breaking Key Support Levels

The post HBAR Drops 2.5% After Breaking Key Support Levels appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. HBAR saw sharp selling pressure during the latest session, slipping from $0.241 to $0.238 between 13:25 and 14:24 on August 19. An early spike to $0.243 was quickly reversed as heavy selling drove the token through key support levels. A 5.38 million volume surge at 13:32 confirmed the breakdown, before trading activity dried up in the final minutes and HBAR closed near session lows. Across the 24-hour period from August 18 at 15:00 to August 19 at 14:00, the token declined 2.46%, falling from $0.244 to $0.238. Trading was volatile, with HBAR ranging between $0.249 and $0.237 on volume exceeding 87 million. Broader market conditions added pressure, as the U.S. Producer Price Index rose to 3.3%, above Federal Reserve forecasts, fueling inflation concerns and contributing to $460 million in liquidations across digital assets. Despite the turbulence, analysts highlight HBAR’s enterprise-grade infrastructure and corporate partnerships as a foundation for long-term adoption, even as near-term sentiment remains fragile. HBAR/USD (TradingView) Corporate Technical Analysis Framework HBAR exhibited pronounced selling momentum during the last 24-hour period from August 18 at 15:00 to August 19 at 14:00, declining from $0.24 to $0.24, representing a 2.46% decrease with an overall trading range of $0.01 (4.81%). The digital asset reached its intraday peak at $0.25 during August 18 evening trading before encountering substantial resistance and initiating a sustained decline that persisted through Asian trading session. Critical support at $0.24 was decisively breached during early morning trading hours on August 19, with high-volume selling pressure confirming the breakdown. The failure to reclaim this support level despite multiple recovery attempts suggests further downside potential toward the $0.24 support zone. HBAR’s selling trajectory intensified during the final 60 minutes from August 19 at 13:25 to 14:24, declining from $0.24 to $0.24 with extreme volatility characterized by a dramatic spike to…

$ETH Clears Downside Liquidity, Is a Break Toward $4.6K

The post $ETH Clears Downside Liquidity, Is a Break Toward $4.6K appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights  Ethereum clears $4,200 downside liquidity, leaving untested topside liquidity between $4,600 and $4,800. CME gap in $4,100–$4,200 zone filled, creating a pivot as traders await Ethereum’s next move.

Ethereum (ETH) is trading near $4,230, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $40.67 billion. The token has dipped 0.12% in the past 24 hours and is down 8% over the past week. Despite recent weakness, chart patterns suggest the market may be setting up for the next move.

Downside liquidity swept, topside liquidity remains. What’s next is obvious!” he commented.  The analysis suggests that with stop-losses and leveraged long positions already flushed out, Ethereum could now turn higher to capture liquidity concentrated in the $4,600–$4,800 range. Source:  Crypto Rover/X CME Gap Filled, Market Finds Pivot Another technical development came from the futures market. Analyst Max Crypto pointed out that Ethereum futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) have completed a gap in the $4,100–$4,200 zone. “$ETH CME GAP HAS BEEN NOW FILLED. RUN IT BACK TURBO,” he noted, implying that one downside objective has now been completed. CME gaps often get revisited by price action. With this level filled, the zone may act as a short-term pivot. ETH futures are currently trading near $4,189, suggesting the market is holding steady after retracing back into this critical range. Traders are now watching whether ETH can use this level as support for a new leg upward. https://twitterx.com/MaxCryptoxx/status/1958053521175245296 Technical Indicators and Trend Structure On the daily chart, Ethereum has been consolidating after its pullback from…
