Bitcoin’s newly confirmed bull market is already showing signs that the rally powering it may be losing momentum.Last week, the top digital asset climbed to an eight-month high near $87,400 after reclaiming a long-term technical threshold that CryptoQuant says marked the start of a fresh bullish phase. Its Bitcoin Bull Score Index has since risen to 90 out of 100, a reading consistent with broadly favorable market conditions.In fact, data from Look Into Bitcoin shows that “Bitcoin sentiment has hit its greediest reading since July 2025.”Bitcoin Fear And Greed Index (Source: Look Into Bitcoin)But beneath that headline strength, the balance…

Bitwise’s NEAR ETF began trading on NYSE Arca under the ticker NRR on 29 September, which the firm calls the first US spot fund for the token. The fund’s prospectus says it intends to stake 100% of its NEAR and does not plan to keep an unstaked reserve for redemptions at the outset.

Key takeaways  Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $3 billion across eight consecutive sessions of positive inflows. Upcoming US inflation and growth data could influence interest-rate expectations and short-term market direction. Holding support between $80,000 and $82,000 could support another attempt at $85,000, with $90,000 a potential subsequent target. Bitcoin has dipped 1% over the past 24 hours, but its recovery remains within a broader consolidation following the recent advance toward $85,000. The retreat from that level has been interpreted as profit-taking after a strong rally. Continued institutional inflows support the bullish case, although the shorter-term chart suggests the correction has not…

The RBA raised the cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.6%, its highest level since 2011. Middle East conflict, higher energy costs, AI-related demand and domestic pressures are contributing to inflation. Higher rates can weigh on crypto by making cash and yield-bearing assets more attractive to investors. Bitcoin and Ethereum edged higher on the day, while Zcash remained down sharply over the week despite its recent rally. At Tuesday’s meeting, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) decided to raise the cash rate by 25 basis points to 4.6%. The hike pushes the cash rate to its highest level since…

Bitcoin registered an intraday low of $82,775.94 on Sept. 29 before rebounding above $83,000, close to a price that could change the estimated profitability of the average Bitcoin ETF holder when Wednesday’s US inflation data arrive.A decline of about 2.2% from mid-$83,000 would reach $81,722, a target that Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart estimated on Sept. 21 as the average ETF holder’s cost basis, saying the recent rally had put that holder back in profit.Individual investors have different purchase prices, and a move through $81,722 would make their trading decisions worth watching. A Sept. 9 Glassnode report placed a differently…

Peter Brandt believes Bitcoin may already have entered a new bull market cycle, earlier than he previously expected. He sees Bitcoin potentially reaching between US$300K and US$600K by the end of 2029. Brandt remains sceptical of XRP’s investment case, while other traders argue XRP’s chart looks bullish, with a break above US$1.55 potentially opening a path towards US$2. Trading legend Peter Brandt thinks the market has entered a new phase. While he previously thought 4 October would mark the beginning of the bull market, he told Cointelegraph in a recent interview that the market may already be in one.   There’s…

Aave DAO would own the contracts for a proposed Ethereum lending market, but Sentora would make the day-to-day decisions that shape its credit risk.In a governance proposal posted Sept. 28, the DeFi risk manager asks to operate an isolated Aave V4 Hub and its lending Spokes through revocable roles. The split puts an immediate risk response in Sentora’s hands and leaves the DAO with ownership, a review path for new markets and the power to withdraw those roles.Sentora would choose its collateral, interest-rate curves, liquidation settings, and oracles. Aave’s existing risk service providers would have no assignment to monitor the…
