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.

Gold is pressured by hawkish Fed, strong USD, and peace deal optimism

Gold is pressured by hawkish Fed, strong USD, and peace deal optimism

The post Gold is pressured by hawkish Fed, strong USD, and peace deal optimism appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold drifts lower on Thursday as hawkish FOMC Minutes continue to underpin the USD. Hopes for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal further exerted pressure on the XAU/USD pair. The global PMIs could drive the commodity ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s speech on Friday. Gold (XAU/USD) struggles to capitalize on the previous day’s goodish rebound from a three-week low and attracts fresh sellers during the Asian session on Thursday. Minutes from the late July FOMC policy meeting released on Wednesday read on the hawkish side, with participants more worried about inflation than the labour market. This further tempers bets for a jumbo interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve (Fed) in September, which, in turn, is seen underpinning the US Dollar (USD) and exerting downward pressure on the non-yielding yellow metal. Furthermore, the optimism over a possible agreement to end the protracted Russia-Ukraine conflict turns out to be another factor denting demand for the safe-haven Gold. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump’s calls on Fed Governor Lisa Cook to resign after mortgage fraud allegations raised concerns about the central bank’s independence. This might hold back the USD bulls from placing aggressive bets and support the bullion. Traders now look to the flash global PMIs for some impetus ahead of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold is pressured by hawkish Fed-inspired USD uptick Minutes of the July 30-31 FOMC policy meeting released on Wednesday showed that almost all officials supported keeping rates unchanged, and a majority of participants judged the upside risk to inflation. Furthermore, policymakers noted rising threats to the economy that would warrant monitoring, though they largely agreed that their current stance was the appropriate way to go. This comes amid signs of a gain of momentum in price pressures and continues to…

Bitcoin slips as markets brace for Powell’s Jackson Hole Speech – Is the bull pause over?

The post Bitcoin slips as markets brace for Powell’s Jackson Hole Speech – Is the bull pause over? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Markets are on edge. Bitcoin briefly knifed below $113K intraday before bouncing, as traders hedge into Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s high-stakes Jackson Hole address (Aug 21–23). With dollar strength creeping back and leveraged longs getting rinsed, the question is simple: is this a healthy bull-market pause, or the start of a deeper Bitcoin correction driven by crypto market volatility? Bitcoin dropped below $113,000, source: Bitcoin Liquid Index The Dip explained: Why Bitcoin fell below $113K Profit-taking after recent highs After a powerful summer run toward new highs, fast money trimmed risk ahead of a pivotal macro catalyst (Powell). Futures data show today’s low near $112.8K before stabilizing, classic “sell the rumor” behavior into event risk. $500M+ liquidations across derivatives In the last 24 hours, >$500 million in crypto longs were liquidated as the drawdown accelerated-evidence that over-leveraged positioning amplified the move.

Traders hedging ahead of Fed news The Jackson Hole symposium is a macro bellwether; Powell’s tone on growth and policy can reset risk appetite across assets, so crypto desks lightened up and added hedges into the event.

A more hawkish-than-hoped message could pressure risk assets; a dovish lean could re-ignite momentum.

Stellar (XLM) Price Faces Further Downtrend as Outflows Show No End

Stellar (XLM) Price Faces Further Downtrend as Outflows Show No End

The post Stellar (XLM) Price Faces Further Downtrend as Outflows Show No End appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XLM has been experiencing significant volatility and facing a drawdown as investor sentiment weakens. Despite attempts at recovery, the altcoin is struggling to reclaim its former highs.  Market conditions continue to worsen, with investors largely hesitant to re-enter the market, contributing to the ongoing decline in price. Stellar Investors Are Uncertain The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) has been stuck below the zero line since the start of the month, signaling strong outflows from XLM. This indicates that investor uncertainty is hindering new inflows into the asset. As the CMF stays negative, it reflects a lack of confidence in XLM’s short-term prospects. Investors appear to be pulling out their funds, leading to a sustained bearish sentiment in the market.  Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here. XLM CMF. Source: TradingView The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for XLM has also slipped below the neutral line, reinforcing the bearish outlook. The RSI is a critical indicator that tracks momentum and market conditions, and its current position shows growing weakness for XLM.  With the RSI trending downward, the broader market environment for XLM remains unfavorable. This further supports the notion that, for the time being, the altcoin is under significant selling pressure, and any potential recovery seems distant. XLM RSI. Source: TradingView XLM Price Is Not Noticing A Downtrend XLM’s price is currently at $0.40, and they are attempting to hold this level as support. However, given the current market conditions and the indicators mentioned above, it seems unlikely that XLM will recover its losses in the short term. The Parabolic SAR above the candlesticks confirms the ongoing downtrend, making it difficult for the altcoin to reverse its trajectory. The next significant support level for XLM is at $0.35, which it last visited over a month ago. If the…

Markt blijft crashen ondanks positieve regulatie ontwikkelingen

Markt blijft crashen ondanks positieve regulatie ontwikkelingen

Snelle crypto updates? Connect op Instagram! Check onze Instagram   De cryptomarkt kreeg vannacht opnieuw een harde klap. Terwijl er juist positief nieuws kwam uit America rond SEC Project Crypto en het akkoord van Ripple, volgde er een scherpe daling. In totaal werden meer dan $530 miljoen aan posities geliquideerd, vooral long traders die te optimistisch in de markt zaten. Het gevolg was een kettingreactie die de koersen verder omlaag trok en het sentiment opnieuw zwaar onder druk zette. Positief nieuws ondergesneeuwd Normaal gesproken reageert de markt opgelucht op duidelijkheid vanuit toezichthouders. Het Project Crypto van de SEC moet juist meer ruimte creëren voor innovatie, terwijl het akkoord rond Ripple een einde leek te maken aan jarenlange juridische onzekerheid. Toch wisten deze berichten het negatieve sentiment niet te keren. Beleggers kozen massaal voor de uitgang, uit angst voor nog meer neerwaartse beweging. Analisten wijzen erop dat de markt op dit moment in een fase zit waarin fundamenteel nieuws nauwelijks invloed heeft, zolang de leveraged posities en speculatieve druk de boventoon voeren.

Zodra de koersen een belangrijke support doorbraken, volgden automatische liquidaties. Volgens data van meerdere platforms ging het in totaal om $530 miljoen die in korte tijd werd weggevaagd. Het grootste deel daarvan kwam van long traders die hadden ingezet op een stijging. In plaats van herstel zorgden de liquidaties juist voor extra verkoopdruk. Binnen enkele uren verdampte een groot deel van de recente winst in de markt. Technische signalen bevestigen zwakte Technische indicatoren versterken het beeld dat de markt broos blijft. De Relative Strength Index zakte terug naar 39, wat wijst op gebrek aan koopkracht. De MACD draaide opnieuw richting bearish terrein, al lijkt een ommekeer mogelijk. De Bollinger Bands laten zien dat de volatiliteit extreem hoog blijft. Dat betekent dat de kans groot is dat de koersen in de komende dagen onrustig blijven, met risico op verdere dalingen als belangrijke steunlijnen breken.

Geopolitieke spanningen en economische onzekerheden hebben vaak een positief effect op de markt.

Voor korte termijn traders is het duidelijk dat voorzichtigheid belangrijk is. De bezem is door de markt gegaan, maar dat gaat vaak gepaard met veel onzekerheid. Als de liquidaties wegebben, kan er ruimte ontstaan voor herstel. Voor lange termijn beleggers is de situatie genuanceerder. De positieve ontwikkelingen rond Ripple en de SEC kunnen juist een fundament leggen voor een stabielere toekomst. Maar op dit moment overschaduwen de liquidaties en het zwakke sentiment elk stukje goed nieuws. Hoe nu verder? De crash toont opnieuw de kwetsbaarheid van de cryptomarkt. Ondanks belangrijke stappen in regelgeving en juridische duidelijkheid, blijven leveraged posities en sentiment de koers bepalen. Zolang grote spelers risico’s afbouwen en kleinere beleggers schrikken van de volatiliteit, zal herstel fragiel blijven. De komende weken wordt cruciaal of de markt rust weet te vinden, en of Bitcoin als grootste munt de stabiliteit kan terugbrengen waar de rest van de sector zo hard naar verlangt.
