SoftBank 9-day momentum after $2 billion Intel deal triggers 5% drop

SoftBank 9-day momentum after $2 billion Intel deal triggers 5% drop

The post SoftBank 9-day momentum after $2 billion Intel deal triggers 5% drop appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SoftBank’s stock collapsed over 5% on Tuesday after the company announced a $2 billion investment in Intel, ending a winning streak that had lasted nine trading days. The Tokyo-based firm said it was buying Intel’s common shares at $23 each, while the chipmaker’s stock had just closed at $23.66 the day before. That gap, though small on paper, triggered a selloff that hit SoftBank hard and fast. The deal raised eyebrows among traders already nervous ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s next move. With a major Fed meeting set for later this week, Asia-Pacific markets responded with broad declines. Markets in Asia fall as Fed and Intel news hit risk appetite In Japan, the Nikkei 225 closed at 43,546.29, down 0.38%, following a record-setting session the day before. The Topix dropped slightly, finishing 0.14% lower at 3,116.63. The loss came after investors began pricing in not just the SoftBank-Intel headlines, but also uncertainty around global monetary policy. South Korea followed suit. The Kospi dropped 0.81%, ending at 3,151.56, while the Kosdaq, which tracks small-cap stocks, got hit even harder, falling 1.26% and closing at 787.96. Losses also spread through China. The CSI 300, after reaching its highest point since October 2024, lost 0.38% and settled at 4,223.37. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng hovered flat during its final hour of trading but didn’t recover enough to make a difference. Australia’s market didn’t escape the fallout either. The S&P/ASX 200 closed at 8,896.2, down 0.7%. Out of all the major Asia-Pacific exchanges, only India saw green. The Nifty 50 inched up 0.44%, while the BSE Sensex climbed 0.48%, going against the region-wide selloff. Fed meeting and Ukraine talks shake global trading sentiment U.S. stock futures were in the red early Tuesday. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped 34 points, or 0.08%,…

Bitcoin’s Futures market turns bearish: Will BTC drop to $112K?

Bitcoin’s Futures market turns bearish: Will BTC drop to $112K?

The post Bitcoin’s Futures market turns bearish: Will BTC drop to $112K? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Bitcoin’s Futures market sentiment index drops to 36% entering the bearish territory. Retail bearishness dominates Futures and spot market as a drop to $112k looms. Since hitting $124k, Bitcoin [BTC] has declined for five consecutive days, hitting a local low of $114,442. In fact, at press time, Bitcoin was trading at $115,055, marking a 3.24% drop over the past week.  Amid this sharp drop, Futures are slowly turning bearish, and that might not be a good thing for BTC. Here’s the reason why. Bitcoin Futures look bearish According to CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler, Bitcoin’s Sentiment Index on the Futures market has declined to 36%. With this drop, the index now sits significantly below the neutral zone or bearish territory.  Source: CryptoQuant Typically, a drop of this index drops below 45 suggests that most traders are becoming more risk-averse and are expecting lower prices. Thus, Futures are experiencing fear-driven activity that could fuel further downside.  Historically, Futures sentiment has played a significant role in Bitcoin’s price movement. For instance, on the 11th to the 14th of August, when the Sentiment Index jumped to 70%, Bitcoin’s price surged to $123k.  Therefore, the recent drop implies that bounces will be offloaded, resulting in price fluctuations. Under these circumstances, Adler suggests that Bitcoin will face downward risk, even dropping to $112k.  Retailers are driving bearishness  AMBCrypto’s look at the Futures market showed that retail traders dominated and look extremely bearish.  For starters, Futures Average Order Size data from CryptoQuant showed massive retail orders.  Source: CryptoQuant These small-scale participants are mainly shorting the market. According to Coinglass, Bitcoin’s Long Short Ratio declined to 0.8765, with shorts accounting for 53%.  Source: CoinGlass At the same time, long positions accounted for 46.7% of the total Futures contracts. Often, when shorts dominate, it indicates that most participants…

USD/CHF loses momentum below 0.8100 despite hopes for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal

USD/CHF loses momentum below 0.8100 despite hopes for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal

The post USD/CHF loses momentum below 0.8100 despite hopes for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CHF loses traction to around 0.8070 in Tuesday’s early European session. Hopes for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal might weigh on the Swiss Franc, a safe-haven currency.  Hot US wholesale prices last month dimmed the prospect of an oversized 50 bps Fed rate cut. The USD/CHF pair tumbles to near 0.8070 during the early European session on Tuesday. However, the potential downside for the pair might be limited amid optimism of a truce in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with US President Donald Trump planning a summit meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy very soon. Trump said on Monday that the United States (US) would help guarantee Ukraine’s security in any deal to end the war with Russia. The “Coalition of the Willing” of 30 nations reached an agreement to provide security assurances for Ukraine and coordinate actions with the US. Trump is planning a meeting between Zelenskiy and Putin after a conference with European leaders on Monday. Trump said he discussed the plan with Putin in a call during his negotiations with the European leaders. Optimism surrounding Russia-Ukraine talks could dampen the safe-haven demand and weigh on the Swiss Franc (CHF).  Nonetheless, a jump in US wholesale prices last month and a solid increase in July’s Retail Sales figures diminish the odds for a more aggressive policy easing by the Fed, which could underpin the Greenback in the near term. Fed fund futures traders are now pricing in an 83% possibility of a September Fed rate cut, after last week briefly fully pricing in a move, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Traders will take more cues from the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole conference later on Friday, as it might offer some insight about the US economic outlook and interest rate path. Any dovish remarks from Fed officials…

Why Is Crypto Down Today? Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Updates

Why Is Crypto Down Today? Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Updates

The post Why Is Crypto Down Today? Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Updates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. South Korea has suspended all crypto lending services, citing borrower risk. The U.S. SEC delayed its decision on XRP ETFs until October 2025. Despite recent dips, analysts say Bitcoin and Ethereum could hit $600K and ETH $15.5K by 2026. The crypto market has been under pressure since last week, with Bitcoin dipping to $114K, Ethereum trading under $4,200, and XRP struggling to hold the $3 mark. That bearish sentiment is extending into today amid a mix of regulatory news and cautious positioning ahead of a key speech from the Federal Reserve. Bitcoin Sentiment Cools Ahead of Powell’s Speech Bitcoin futures sentiment has cooled after falling to 36% from a high of 70% earlier this month when the asset peaked at $124,400. At press time, Bitcoin trades near $115K, with short-term sellers still in control.  The market greed index is now at 53, a neutral position suggesting the market has shifted away from euphoria into a holding pattern. Investors are now waiting for U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming speech, which could set the tone for crypto amid surging hopes of a first rate cut since December 2024 by next month.  Despite a recent correction from its $124,450 peak to around $115,300, analysts believe Bitcoin is gearing up for a massive rally. Analyst AO has compared Bitcoin’s current pattern to gold’s 2006–2020 trajectory, suggesting a similar breakout could send BTC to $600,000 by 2026. AO’s chart shows Bitcoin consolidating in a wedge similar to gold before its explosive rise, implying a 421% surge is possible. If realized, Bitcoin’s market cap could reach $12 trillion, solidifying its status as “digital gold.” South Korea Cracks Down on Crypto Lending Adding to the bearish pressure, in Asia, South Korea’s Financial Services Commission has ordered local crypto exchanges to suspend all lending services.
