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.

AUD/USD seems more downside below 0.6520 as US Dollar trades firmly

The post AUD/USD seems more downside below 0.6520 as US Dollar trades firmly appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AUD/USD struggles to hold the immediate support of 0.6520 as the US Dollar demonstrates strength. A slight ease in Fed dovish expectations has supported the US Dollar. Investors await the US PCE inflation and the RBA monetary policy announcement. The AUD/USD pair seems vulnerable near an over two-week low around 0.6520 during the European trading session on Friday. The Aussie pair weakens as the US Dollar (USD) demonstrates strength, following a decline in market expectations for more interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed) in the policy meetings remaining this year. During the press time, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades firmly near its fresh four-week high around 98.40 posted on Thursday. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates by 50 bps by the year-end eased to 62% from 78.6% seen a week ago.

Key resistance remains at the 200.35-200.50 area

Key resistance remains at the 200.35-200.50 area

The post Key resistance remains at the 200.35-200.50 area appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Pound bounced up on Yen weakness, but is struggling to find acceptance above 200.00. Moderate Tokyo inflation levels have dampened hopes of BoJ tightening in October. GBP/JPY: key resistance lies ahead of 200.50, support is at the 199.20 area. The British Pound is trimming Thursday’s losses on Friday, favoured by generalised Japanese Yen weakness, following relatively soft inflation figures in the Tokyo area. The pair has reached prices above the 200.00 level after bouncing at 199.55, but remains below a key resistance area ahead of 200.50 Data released on Thursday revealed that the advanced Tokyo CPI grew at a 2.5% yearly rate in September, down from 2.6% in August. The Core CPI remained steady at 2.5% against market expectations of an uptick to 2.6%. These figures give some more leeway to the BoJ to maintain its “wait-and-see” stance at its next monetary policy meeting, and have increased bearish pressure on the Yen. Technical analysis: Looking for direction around 200.00 The technical picture is mixed. The pair broke below an ascending trendline support, yet bears have been unable to pull the pair below 199.20. The 4-hour Relative Strength Index is wavering around the 50 level, indicating a lack of a clear bias. Bulls will find significant resistance in the area between Thursday’s high, at 200.35, and the reverse trendline, now around 200.50. A confirmation above here would open the way towards the year-to-date high, at 201.27. A reversal from current levels, on the contrary, would face support at the mentioned 199.20 (September 19 and 23 lows). Further down, the 78.6% retracement of the September rally, which meets the September 5 low at 198.65, and the September 2 low at 198.35, would be the next bearish targets.

Top 3 Mid-Cap Altcoins to Watch in Market Pullback

Top 3 Mid-Cap Altcoins to Watch in Market Pullback

The post Top 3 Mid-Cap Altcoins to Watch in Market Pullback appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market is down today, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many altcoins falling. Some mid-cap altcoins might offer opportunities amid the downturn. Three projects have strong fundamentals and growth potential despite overall market weakness. The crypto market has slipped over the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin dipping slightly below $109,000 and Ethereum testing its key $4,000 support level. Most altcoins are deep in the red, including XRP and BNB, which saw declines of 2.7% and 5% respectively.  Heavy liquidations in leveraged positions, particularly $330 million in Ethereum longs, have added pressure, while institutional buyers quietly accumulate off-exchange. Despite the current pullback, experts say that these dips align with normal market volatility, historical seasonal patterns, and upcoming catalysts, hinting at rebound opportunities in the coming weeks and months. Within this context, a handful of mid-cap altcoins stand out for fundamentals that could outlast short-term price weakness.

Bitcoin Accumulation Weakens as Large Holders Show Caution. Further Downside

Bitcoin Accumulation Weakens as Large Holders Show Caution. Further Downside

Bitcoin had another massive wipeout on Thursday as it succumbed to mounting selling pressure. It plummeted to new lows as a result.  BTC retraced from $113,542 to $108,652 during the previous intraday session. It lost almost 4% as the derivatives market posted $1.14 billion in losses, with traders who went long on BTC losing over $200 million.  The precise reason for the price drop remains largely speculative. However, Peter Schiff said the Silver was behind the dip. Expressing surprise over how the precious metal gained almost 3%, the proponent said he did not believe it would be the one to “prick the Bitcoin Bubble.” While Schiff’s statement suggests that investors are moving away from the apex coin, others argue that the recent dip is a one-time occurrence and does not impact the coin’s long-term performance. However, recent data align with Schiff’s assertion. Glassnode noted in a report that Bitcoin accumulation is softening. One of the indicators on the platforms, the Bitcoin accumulation trend score, indicates that the number of buyers decreased in September compared to recent months. The last time the metric displayed such a signal extensively was after the December surge, and it lasted for over three months. Prices reacted with a significant downtrend as selling pressure replaced accumulation. The latest trend suggests growing caution among investors, which may result in supply shocks if buying softens further. Bitcoin may plummet lower in the coming days if the bulls fail to resume accumulation. Based on previous price action, the drop to $108k may be meager compared to what is to come. Nonetheless, in the short term, the apex coin is seeing a slight increase in buying pressure. Data from CryptoQuant shows a significant decline in exchange inflow. Over the last 24 hours, outflows exceeded inflows, resulting in a reduction of exchange reserves. Bitcoin Eyes $107k  Previous price movement suggests the apex coin rebound on Thursday may be short-lived. A closer look at the 1-day chart shows that $108,600 is a price level with limited demand concentration, and further price decline could tear through it. It presents $107,400 as a level with significant demand concentration, and the asset may hold this level for an extended period. However, data from the derivatives market shows mounting pressure from bears. There is a growing number of traders who believe the price will retrace further. As a result, the amount of short positions outweighs the long. Additionally, the taker buy-sell ratio is at 0.94, which is significantly bearish. Nonetheless, a look at the charts reveals that Bitcoin has been rangebound over the last 12 hours. Its first candle of the day was green, indicating a slight price surge. BTC has since erased the gains and is edging closer to retesting the previous day’s low.  However, indicators such as the bollinger bands are pointing to an impending end to the decline. The relative strength index slipped below 30 for a few hours, indicating that the apex coin is oversold and aligns with readings from the BB that a reversal is close. Based on these metrics, BTC may surge higher, but it must break through the small sell wall at $109,800. Flipping it will guarantee an attempt at $111k. However, the US PCE drops a few hours from the time of writing. Prices could plummet as low as $106k if it comes out hawkish. The post Bitcoin Accumulation Weakens as Large Holders Show Caution.

Here’s How Pi Coin Dodged the ‘Worst Performer’ Tag Today

Here’s How Pi Coin Dodged the ‘Worst Performer’ Tag Today

The post Here’s How Pi Coin Dodged the ‘Worst Performer’ Tag Today appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pi Coin has slowed its decline after last week’s crash that pushed the token to a new all-time low.  While broader market conditions remain weak following the $150 billion crash in the last 24 hours, the altcoin is showing signs of stability. Investors’ cautious optimism is critical in keeping Pi Coin from deeper losses. Pi Coin Finds Support The Average Directional Index (ADX) highlights that bearish momentum is strengthening.

What Does Global Giant BlackRock Have in store for XRP and Altcoin ETFs? BlackRock Chairman Announces Required Criteria!

What Does Global Giant BlackRock Have in store for XRP and Altcoin ETFs? BlackRock Chairman Announces Required Criteria!

The post What Does Global Giant BlackRock Have in store for XRP and Altcoin ETFs? BlackRock Chairman Announces Required Criteria! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Following the Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs that received approval from the SEC in 2024, ETF applications have also been filed for many altcoins. Among these altcoins, major altcoins such as Solana (SOL) and XRP are expected to receive approval in October. At this point, while giant names such as Grayscale, WisdomTree and Franklin Templeton are applying for altcoin ETFs such as XRP and Solana, the world’s largest asset management company BlackRock is taking a cautious approach to altcoin ETFs. It is curious why BlackRock, which has not applied for an ETF for any altcoin other than Bitcoin and Ethereum, has not applied for another altcoin ETF. BlackRock Global Head of Digital Assets Robbie Mitchnick made important statements on this subject. Speaking with NovaDius Wealth CEO Nate Geraci, Robbie Mitchnick said that the altcoin ETF decision is not as simple as it seems. Mitchnick stated that the ETF application decision is shaped by customer demand, and that BlackRock evaluates whether there is sufficient interest from institutional and individual investors before launching a new ETF. Mitchnick added that factors such as market capitalization, liquidity, maturity and strength of investment strategy play a significant role. “The development of new ETFs depends primarily on investor demand. There must be sufficient interest from both institutions and individuals. Market size, liquidity, maturity and validity of the investment thesis are important criteria. “We are also examining its compatibility with long-term portfolio strategies. We are still carefully evaluating the opportunity.” *This is not investment advice. Follow our Telegram and Twitter account now for exclusive news, analytics and on-chain data!
