As Bitcoin (BTC) strives to hold the $110,000 support zone, technical indicators are painting a grim picture, with the asset facing renewed selling pressure after failing to break through a key resistance area. An outlook shared by pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst BitBull in an X post on September 4 indicated that Bitcoin was rejected from the $114,000 resistance zone on the daily chart, a level that has now turned into a strong supply area.

Bitcoin advocate Samson Mow is outlining two possible scenarios for Bitcoin (BTC) as the crypto king hovers below the all-time high reached earlier this week. Mow warns his 352,200 followers on X that if Bitcoin undergoes a “Godzilla or Omega” rally and sucks “all the oxygen out of the room,” altcoins could fall by 30% to 40%. In the second scenario, Mow says, “Altcoin mania peaks, triggering a massive sell-off as the Bagholder’s Dilemma loses equilibrium, BTC goes down briefly then up again, as altcoins tank.” The Bagholder’s Dilemma refers to a psychological trap where an investor holds onto a rapidly depreciating cryptocurrency, refusing to sell in the hope that the price of the asset will recover Turning to Ethereum (ETH), Mow says it is “impossible” for the asset’s market cap to equal the value of 4.6 million BTC. “This has to correct sooner or later.” Ethereum is trading at $4,642 at time of writing, while its market cap sta...

Bitcoin hit a new all-time high (ATH) above $124k on Wednesday, extending its month-long rally, while Cardano jumped 17% to a five-month peak on news of an ADA ETF filing by Grayscale. Bitcoin climbed to $124,128, driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, institutional buying, and pro-crypto policies from the Trump administration. BTC has since fallen to $120,509 at 8:34 a.m. EST, more or less flat on the day.

This surge in the Bitcoin price is trickling down to other altcoins, with Gitcoin (GTC), Wiki Cat (WKC), and Skale (SKL) leading the top gainers list on CoinGecko , with pumps...

President Donald Trump is scheduled to sign an executive order on Thursday, August 7, allowing 401(k) retirement plans to include private equity, real estate, and cryptocurrencies, among other similar assets. The order will instruct the U.S. Department of Labor to review and possibly revise the existing guidelines on the inclusion of alternative investments in retirement plans governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as reported by Bloomberg . In addition, the department will also have to clarify how exactly fiduciary duties apply when asset allocation funds offer exposure to newly included holdings. What does Trump’s new 401(k) order mean? The move would benefit alternative asset firms the most, giving them access to a new $12 trillion retirement market and helping their investment products reach the mainstream. Of course, the crypto market as a whole is expected to feel the effects of the new order. Bitcoin (BTC), for instance,...
