Futures

Futures are derivative financial contracts that obligate parties to transact an asset at a predetermined future date and price. In the Web3 ecosystem, futures are essential tools for hedging risk and gaining leveraged exposure to market movements. By 2026, the market has seen a massive shift toward institutional-grade futures platforms with enhanced regulatory compliance. This tag covers the mechanics of delivery dates, margin requirements, and how professional traders use futures to navigate crypto volatility and secure long-term portfolio stability.

Bearish momentum but RSI near oversold – OCBC

Bearish momentum but RSI near oversold – OCBC

The post Bearish momentum but RSI near oversold – OCBC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kiwi fell post-RBNZ policy decision. NZD last seen at 0.5820 levels, OCBC’s FX analysts Frances Cheung and Christopher Wong note. Bearish momentum on daily chart intact “OCR was reduced to 3%, as widely anticipated but the tone of the press conference and MPS was notably more dovish than expected. MPC voted 4-2 for 25bp cut, and the 2 members had voted for 50bp cut. OCR projection was also lowered to 2.55% in 1Q 2026. OIS futures pricing in 40bp cut by end of 2025. There are 2 more meetings remaining for the year – Oct and Nov before the long break to February 2026 MPC meeting.” “Governor Hawkesby stressed on the ‘strong consensus around the central path for the OCR’. While the RBNZ’s dovish cut and lower OCR track reinforces a downside bias for NZD, the magnitude of the move will hinge on the USD leg. With Powell’s Jackson Hole speech on Friday night likely to shape Fed easing expectations into September, we see scope for NZD/USD to test lower if the USD stays firm, but retracement risks if Powell leans dovish.” “Bearish momentum on daily chart intact but RSI shows signs of entering oversold conditions. Support at 0.58 (50% fibo retracement of Apr low to Jul high), 0.5730 (61.8% fibo). Resistance at 0.5830 (200 DMA), 0.5880 (38.2% fibo).” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/nzd-usd-bearish-momentum-but-rsi-near-oversold-ocbc-202508210854

Will Powell Cave to Trump’s Pressure? Crypto Market Watches

Will Powell Cave to Trump’s Pressure? Crypto Market Watches

The post Will Powell Cave to Trump’s Pressure? Crypto Market Watches appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Powell may signal a September rate cut as labor market data shows weakening job growth. Inflation risks from new tariffs could lead Powell to curb expectations for immediate easing. Powell may stay neutral, keeping markets data-dependent ahead of the September FOMC meeting. All eyes are on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who is set to deliver a pivotal speech at the annual Jackson Hole economic conference this Friday. His address, titled “Economic Outlook and Framework Review,” is scheduled for 10 a.m. Eastern Time and is expected to give the market critical clues about the Fed’s next move on interest rates. This speech presents itself as a climax of a Critical Week in Crypto that has already been packed with market-moving events. Jerome Powell is about to make a massively important headline speech on Friday at Jackson Hole. Every serious crypto holder must pay attention to this event. Here’s what I think will happen… This is the Fed’s stage to quietly greenlight rate cuts. Last time Powell leaned… — Dan Gambardello (@cryptorecruitr) August 20, 2025 The Three Scenarios on the Table Market experts have outlined three primary directions Powell could take, each with significant consequences. Scenario 1: The Dovish Signal. Powell could signal that a rate cut is imminent. The CME FedWatch tool had earlier shown futures markets pricing in a 79.2% probability of a September cut. A dovish tone would suggest the Fed is concerned about the slowing labor market and is ready to act. Scenario 2: The Hawkish Warning. Alternatively, Powell could pour cold water on market expectations by focusing on renewed inflationary pressures. The recent tariffs introduced by President Donald Trump have raised concerns about a fresh inflation wave that could keep the Fed on hold. Scenario 3: The Neutral, Data-Dependent Path. A third option is for Powell…

Bitcoin (BTC) Faces Decline as Derivatives Market Drives Volatility

Bitcoin (BTC) Faces Decline as Derivatives Market Drives Volatility

The post Bitcoin (BTC) Faces Decline as Derivatives Market Drives Volatility appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Lawrence Jengar Aug 21, 2025 01:32 Bitcoin’s price retraces amid declining capital inflows as derivatives market activity heightens volatility, according to Glassnode. Bitcoin’s recent price activity signals a downturn, as its value retraced from an all-time high (ATH) of $124.4K to a low of $112.9K, marking a 9.2% decline. This price drop comes amid declining capital inflows, suggesting a reduced investor willingness to inject fresh capital at elevated price levels, according to Glassnode. Slowing Capital Inflows Despite reaching a new ATH, Bitcoin’s realized cap increased at a modest rate of 6% per month, significantly lower than the 13% witnessed during previous ATH breakouts. This trend highlights a waning demand from investors, even as profit-taking activities have diminished. Recent price corrections have accelerated investor loss-taking, which reached $112M per day. However, these figures remain typical of local corrections within a bull cycle. Events like the Aug-2024 yen-carry unwind and the ‘Trump Tariff Tantrum’ in March-April 2025 have led to higher capitulation volumes, indicating that investor confidence remains relatively intact. Leverage and Speculation The derivatives market is playing a significant role in Bitcoin’s volatility. Futures contracts’ open interest remains elevated, with $67B highlighting the leverage in play. A recent sell-off saw over $2.3B in open interest unwound, reflecting the market’s speculative nature. Ethereum, known as a bellwether asset, has seen its open interest dominance rise to 43.3%, signaling a shift in risk appetite. Its perpetual futures volume dominance hit a new ATH of 67%, underscoring rising speculative activity. Altcoin Activity Altcoins, such as ETH, SOL, XRP, and DOGE, have also experienced a surge in futures open interest, reaching $60.2B before a $2.6B decline. This fluctuation indicates heightened investor interest, contributing to market fragility. Liquidations in the altcoin market have been substantial, peaking at $303M…

Solana Price Climbs, but One Bearish Pattern Risks a 17% Crash

Solana Price Climbs, but One Bearish Pattern Risks a 17% Crash

The post Solana Price Climbs, but One Bearish Pattern Risks a 17% Crash appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights: Solana price formed a double top around $209, failing to break resistance twice, which often signals trend weakness. Key support at $176 is at risk. If it breaks, the Solana price could drop to $155, a 17% fall from recent levels. CMF remains weak, funding rates are flat, and exchange inflows suggest possible sell pressure ahead. Solana price has had a strange run in the past few months. Solana price jumped more than 4% in a single day. But in the past three months, gains were only about 3%. That means Solana went up and down a lot without real direction. Traders have seen SOL price stay between $170 and $210 for weeks. Many thought it would break out, but now a big drop is possible. One bearish chart pattern, mixed with exchange flows and open interest, shows that a 17% crash could happen soon. The risk is real, and it’s coming from inside the chart. CMF Shows Weak Buyer Support Despite Higher Solana Price The CMF, or Chaikin Money Flow, is a simple way to track how much money is coming in or going out of a coin. If the number is very high, it means buyers are strong. If the number is low or falling, it means buyers are weak or leaving. Solana Money Inflow Isn’t Strong Enough  | Source: TradingView Right now, Solana’s CMF is not very strong. The value did move up a little. It even made a new high compared to past weeks. But it stayed below the 0.11 line. That line is important. If CMF stays below 0.11, it shows buyers are not strong enough to push the price much higher. This means people are still buying, but not with full strength. Many traders are not confident. They are buying a little…

Connect op Discord! Check onze Discord   Eerder deze maand leek iedereen vertrouwen te hebben in een renteverlaging volgende maand vanuit de Amerikaanse centrale bank. Daar is de markt nu niet meer zo zeker van, en dat zien we terug in de kwakkelende koersen. Investeerders lijken zich voor te bereiden op een teleurstelling, maar hopen stiekem dat ons morgen een verrassing te wachten staat. Renteverlaging is nog steeds de verwachting Morgen houdt voorzitter van de Amerikaanse centrale bank Jerome Powell een toespraak op een conferentie in Jackson Hole. De bank heeft de beleidsrente al het hele jaar stabiel gehouden, maar voor het eerst verwacht de markt dat de economie gestimuleerd wordt (goedkopere leningen zorgen voor meer vraag in de economie). Het vertrouwen in een renteverlaging heeft alles te maken met de slechte banencijfers die aan het begin van de maand naar buiten werden gebracht. In juli kwamen er veel minder banen bij dan verwacht en ook de cijfers van mei en juni werden fors naar beneden bijgesteld. Het zou een teken kunnen zijn dat de Amerikaanse economie richting een recessie beweegt, en dus knalde de kans op een renteverlaging de lucht in. Vorige week dinsdag kwam ook nog eens de consumentenprijsindex (CPI) lager binnen dan verwacht, waardoor op een gegeven moment de hele futuresmarkt een renteverlaging verwachtte. Een dag later zwakte het optimisme af toen de producentenprijsindex (PPI) flink teleurstelde met hogere cijfers. Sindsdien houden steeds meer mensen rekening met opnieuw een rentepauze. Momenteel houdt 71,3 procent van de futuresmarkt rekening met een renteverlaging van 0,25 procent, zo laten gegevens van CME Group zien. Dat is nog steeds een dikke meerderheid, maar het percentage is dus rap gedaald de afgelopen tijd. De notulen van de laatste rentevergadering hebben daar ook aan bijgedragen. De meerderheid ziet de opwaartse inflatierisico’s als groter dan het risico op een zwakkere werkgelegenheid. Goed om te melden is dat de vergadering na de zwakke banencijfers plaatsvond. Alle ogen naar morgenmiddag Toch lijkt de markt zich al in te dekken voor een tegenvaller. Ondertussen gaat de aandacht uit naar de speech van morgen om 16:00 uur. Het meest waarschijnlijke scenario is dat Powell de opties openlaat, aangezien er nog veel nieuwe data op komst is die het besluit van de Fed zal beïnvloeden. Als er wordt gehint naar een verlaging dan zou zich dat waarschijnlijk vertalen in een stijgende bitcoin (BTC) koers. Maar een strenge toon kan juist negatief uitpakken.

U.S.–EU Trade Framework Revealed—Here’s What To Expect From Trump’s Tariffs

U.S.–EU Trade Framework Revealed—Here’s What To Expect From Trump’s Tariffs

The post U.S.–EU Trade Framework Revealed—Here’s What To Expect From Trump’s Tariffs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The framework of a trade deal reached between the U.S. and European Union were detailed in a joint statement Thursday, as both sides agreed on lower levies for several goods while the Trump administration imposed conditions before some rates were cut. A trade deal was reached between the Trump administration and European Union officials last month, just ahead of Trump’s imposed deadline. AFP via Getty Images Key Facts The U.S. agreed to lower a blanket tariff on European imports from 30% to 15%, and the EU agreed to purchasing $750 billion of American energy, a “substantially” increased deal to acquire U.S. military and defense equipment and a further $600 billion investment in the U.S. through 2028, according to a joint statement. The EU pledged to eliminate tariffs on U.S. industrial goods and provide “preferential market access” to American seafood and agricultural products, including tree nuts, some dairy products, fresh and processed fruits, vegetables and other foods, planting seeds, soybean oil, pork and bison meat. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement the deal provides “predictability” for European companies and consumers and “strengthens transatlantic relations.” What European Goods Face Lower Tariffs? European imports will now face a blanket 15% tariff, while “Most Favored Nation” rates of below 15% will be imposed on aircraft and aircraft parts, generic pharmaceuticals, including their ingredients and “chemical precursors,” and unavailable natural resources, like cork. The U.S. also reiterated a commitment to cap tariffs on semiconductors and lumber at 15%, after President Donald Trump announced earlier this month a 100% tariff on all semiconductor imports. Trump previously threatened 250% tariffs on pharmaceuticals while accusing firms of gouging American consumers with high drug prices, and said after a trade deal was reached with the EU that pharmaceuticals were “unrelated” to agreed terms.…

New crypto ETFs offer leveraged bets on XRP and Solana

New crypto ETFs offer leveraged bets on XRP and Solana

The post New crypto ETFs offer leveraged bets on XRP and Solana appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tidal Trust II has filed an application with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to introduce two new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that offer leveraged long exposure to XRP and Solana. The filing, made public on Aug. 19 via Form N-1A, outlines plans to offer daily exposure to the digital assets with leverage between 150% and 200%. The funds aim to combine aggressive growth potential with strategies designed to generate consistent income. It plans to employ options-based techniques, such as credit call spreads, to enhance returns while mitigating some of the risks associated with leveraged positions. Investors would benefit from amplified exposure to XRP and Solana without needing to engage in margin trading. Rather than directly holding XRP or SOL, the ETFs would primarily invest in derivatives, including swap agreements and options linked to US-listed XRP and SOL ETFs. The funds may also allocate capital to cash-settled futures and other exchange-traded products that track the price movements of these digital assets. The structure is intended to provide both long-term capital appreciation and current income, appealing to a broad spectrum of traditional investors. Solana and XRP ETFs draw interest The timing of the application aligns with increasing optimism around regulatory approval for crypto ETFs beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Analysts, including Bloomberg’s James Seyffart, anticipate that the SEC may approve some altcoin ETF applications by October. This growing regulatory clarity has contributed to a surge in market interest for products linked to these altcoins. Interestingly, investor appetite for these products is already evident in the market. The Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF (XXRP) recently exceeded $400 million in net assets, marking a first for a US-traded XRP ETF. Similarly, the REX Shares Solana Staking ETF (SSK), which launched less than two months ago, has attracted over $160 million in net inflows. These…

Shiba Inu Faces Increased Selling Pressure as This Key Metric Dips Over 90%

Shiba Inu Faces Increased Selling Pressure as This Key Metric Dips Over 90%

Leading canine-themed token Shiba Inu is facing increased selling pressure as its burn rate has dropped significantly over the past day.  Shiba Inu has been attempting to recover from the broader market downturn, which sent its price to a multi-week low of $0.00001206 yesterday. Shortly after the collapse, it recovered to an intraday high of $0.00001267 and suffered a slight retracement to $0.00001250.  Shiba Inu Burn Rate Slumps Over 90% As Shiba Inu battles persistent bearish momentum, token burns have drastically reduced. Data from Shibburn shows that Shiba Inu’s burn rate has slumped by 90.95% over the past day, with only 139,099 SHIB tokens sent to the burn wallet across three transactions.  Shiba Inu burn rate reaches 90Shiba Inu burn rate reaches 90 Many attribute the long-term value proposition of Shiba Inu to reducing its massive supply of 589 trillion tokens through burns. As the rate is now dropping, it could impact sentiment. Notably, removing more tokens from circulation and sending them to the dead wallet contributes to Shiba Inu’s price seeing a long-term spike. As the burn activity declines, it raises supply concerns, and some investors might panic sell.  Shiba Inu Current Performance  In the meantime, Shiba Inu has continued to show resilience, rising from a multi-week low of $0.00001206 to $0.00001250. With a current price of $0.00001250, Shiba Inu has surged by a mere 1.57% over the past day. However, it is still down 8.15% over the past week and 16.36% over the past month.  Investors’ momentum has waned in the past day, with the trading volume plunging by 3.08% over the past 24 hours to $197.77 million.  Liquidation Overview  Amid the ongoing recovery, Shiba Inu futures traders have suffered a total liquidation of $87,450 in the past day. While long positions comprised $37,450, the short ones incurred most losses at $49,990.  Notably, investors betting on a Shiba Inu price drop (shorts) could face $746,520 in liquidations if SHIB climbs to $0.000013. Conversely, those expecting the rally to continue (longs) risk $919,610 in liquidation if the price falls under $0.000012.  Meanwhile, several community experts remain confident in Shiba Inu’s prospects. Analyst MMB Trader projects an imminent rally to $0.00007716.
