JPMorgan Turns Bullish on Cryptocurrencies Following a Slip in BTC Production Cost

  • JPMorgan is positive that cryptocurrencies will rebound in 2026.
  • Bitcoin production cost has dropped to around $77,000.
  • BTC has gained 0.08% over the last 24 hours.

JPMorgan has cited its optimism for cryptocurrencies after the BTC production cost declined. The bank is bullish for the segment in 2026 despite tokens recording lows since the recent days. It has also addressed a connection between BTC and Gold to reiterate its stance towards the flagship crypto.

JPMorgan on Cryptocurrencies

JPMorgan has noted a decline in Bitcoin’s production cost to around $77,000 and is anticipating a new equilibrium for the token. Most importantly, the bank has estimated that cryptocurrencies could recover in the remaining months of the year, given there is a renewed institutional inflow and the possibility for clarity on US crypto legislation.

Notably, a prolonged trading below the production cost could pressurize miners, but JPMorgan expects the trend to self-correct as the aggregate production cost could lower further.

JPMorgan has further laid out its expectation by saying that the shift in the crypto market could be led primarily by institutional investors instead of retail traders or DATs, that is, digital asset treasuries.

The BTC and Gold Connection

JPMorgan has also noted a connection between Gold and BTC. The bank has underlined that even though the precious metal has outperformed the flagship token since October 2025, it has also gained higher volatility. This, in the long-term, makes Bitcoin tokens more attractive even though their prices are significantly down.

BTC was last seen trading at $67,160.83, up by 0.08% over the last 24 hours, and down by 5.61% in a week. It is forecasted to grow by 30.40% in the next 3 months to exchange hands at around $88,242, amid a high volatility of 11.72%. A decline after brief consolidation has triggered bearish sentiments, but the 14-Day RSI remains neutral at 32.07 points.

Crypto Market in General

Overall sentiments across the crypto market are bearish, as reflected in the FGI of 8 points. The collective market cap has recovered slightly by 0.69% to $2.3 trillion; however, it remains massively down from a high of over $3 trillion.

A common belief is that the crypto market would eventually rebound if further regulatory clarifications underline the progressive space. This includes the much-talked-about Clarity Act. Also, the US Jan 2026 Employment data has signalled a low chance of a Fed rate cut in March 2026.

Today’s NYT Pips Hints And Solutions For Thursday, September 18th

The post Today’s NYT Pips Hints And Solutions For Thursday, September 18th appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. It’s Thursday and I am incredibly sore and tired after really hitting the weights and the yoga mat hard this week. Sore is good! It takes pain to reduce pain, or at least that’s my experience with exercise. We must exercise our minds as well, and what better way to do that than with a fun puzzle game about placing dominoes in the correct tiles. Come along, my Pipsqueaks, let’s solve today’s Pips! Looking for Wednesday’s Pips? Read our guide right here. How To Play Pips In Pips, you have a grid of multicolored boxes. Each colored area represents a different “condition” that you have to achieve. You have a select number of dominoes that you have to spend filling in the grid. You must use every domino and achieve every condition properly to win. There are Easy, Medium and Difficult tiers. Here’s an example of a difficult tier Pips: Pips example Screenshot: Erik Kain As you can see, the grid has a bunch of symbols and numbers with each color. On the far left, the three purple squares must not equal one another (hence the equal sign crossed out). The two pink squares next to that must equal a total of 0. The zig-zagging blue squares all must equal one another. You click on dominoes to rotate them, and will need to since they have to be rotated to fit where they belong. Not shown on this grid are other conditions, such as “less than” or “greater than.” If there are multiple tiles with > or < signs, the total of those tiles must be greater or less than the listed number. It varies by grid. Blank spaces can have anything. The various possible conditions are: = All pips must equal one another in this group. ≠ All pips…
