Dogecoin (DOGE) is at $0.23, down 4% today but up 2% this week. Basically, it’s having a mid-life crisis. Meanwhile, the crypto market liquidated $1 billion. Thanks, PPI data! You’re the life of the party. 🎉💔 DOGE lost 290,500 coins in the sell-off. Ouch. But hey, it’s not you, it’s the Fed.
As Bitcoin [BTC] keeps doing its rollercoaster act, Asian companies are auditioning for their own opera-some boldly belt out, others just walk off stage, waving goodbye. And with forecasts flying around like confetti, who knows what’s real anymore? 🎭
The world, in its infinite folly, has pinned its hopes on a meeting between two men who have mastered the art of saying nothing while implying everything. Donald Trump, that American paragon of chaos, and Vladimir Putin, the Russian maestro of subtlety, shall soon share a table in Anchorage, Alaska-a place where even the bears know better than to meddle in politics. The war in Ukraine, that modern Iliad, may dominate their discourse, yet the crypto-obsessed masses cling to the faintest hope: will Bitcoin, that digital phantom, be summoned into the shadows of statecraft?
As the broader crypto market staggers backward, bleeding value like a wounded beast, the whales have chosen this moment to strike. According to the ever-vigilant Whale Alert, the sentinels of on-chain activity, these transactions, valued at a staggering $90,790,713, were executed with surgical precision. From the confines of Robinhood, the assets vanished into the ether of unknown wallets, leaving behind a trail of whispers and conjecture. 🤔
On-chain sleuths (hat tip to X’s @EmberCN) have exposed how these cyber-swindlers have liquidated their ETH holdings with the finesse of a Victorian conman. 🕴️
Crypto ETF momentum is hotter than a summer sidewalk in August. On Thursday, August 14, ether ETFs decided to flex their muscles, banking another $639.61 million. That’s right, they’re on an inflow streak that would make even the most dedicated gym-goer jealous. Meanwhile, bitcoin ETFs are just trying to keep their heads above water, eking out $230.93 million to stretch their own run to seven days, all while heavy selling pressure looms like a dark cloud over a picnic.
Lo, the head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) doth proclaim on a Friday morn that the agency is dusting off its tomes to review the arcane rules of digital asset storage. 🧙♂️ Broker-dealers, asset managers, and investment advisers, take heed! Thy cryptocurrency transactions must now be conducted with the utmost propriety, lest the SEC’s gaze fall upon thee. 👀
The crypto sentiment index, which sounds like something a therapist would track, jumped from 0.23 to 0.91 in just one week, according to Max Shannon of Bitwise. Yes, you read that right-0.23 to 0.91. It’s almost as if the market woke up and decided, “Today, we feel slightly less terrible!” 📈📉
The daily chart? Oh, honey. Bitcoin’s been retreating like it’s running from its own shadow, dropping from a local peak of $124,517. The latest candle is a bearish engulfing formation-basically a “I’m out” moment with increased volume. The RSI is at 55.1, which is like, “I’m fine, I swear,” while the MACD at 1,224.5 is still team “bullish phase.” But let’s be real, if it dips below $117,000, it’s headed for a $113,000-$115,000 pity party. Unless, of course, it decides to reclaim $119,500-$120,000 like a boss. 💪
