Ether Futures On The MoveEther futures experienced a highly volatile start to November, characterized by a sharp mid-month sell-off that erased strong gains made in late October. After peaking above the $4,700 level, the price quickly reversed, plunging toward 3,800 as global market risk sentiment deteriorated following cautious guidance from the U.S. Federal Reserve. The correlation with major tech indices remained a significant factor, leading to amplified selling when the broader equity market pulled back. Despite this volatility, Ether futures stabilized near the $4,000, suggesting that fundamental institutional support prevented a full trend collapse. Ether futures selling pressure This sustained institutional presence remains the most critical factor in the market. Ether futures volume saw massive growth in October, showing increasing demand from professional and retail traders for regulated products. As shown in the chart, the 50% retracement level and the 200-day moving average are very close to each other and have acted as a support pocket since the breakout above the 200-day moving average in July. *CME Group futures are not suitable for all investors and involve the risk of loss.

Catching a Falling Knife - The Illusion of OpportunityNOTE – This is a post on mindset and emotion. It is NOT a trade idea or system designed to make you money. My intention is to help you preserve capital, energy, and focus — so you can execute your own trading system with calm and confidence. A sharp selloff. Price is plunging. The chart looks like it’s gone too far . Your eye zooms in on that last swing low - “It has to bounce here.” You tell yourself you’re being brave… opportunistic… disciplined even. Beneath the surface, something else is driving the impulse. A need to get involved and capitalize on opportunity A need to relieve tension and fomo A belief that there’s value here. A sense of excitement. Things are moving. A chance to make back all that I’ve lost before - plus more. When markets fall fast, the nervous system reacts. Adrenaline spikes. The body wants to do something - to turn impulse into action. To buy the bottom feels like you’ve beaten the market. That you’ve proven that you can do this and that you’re really really clever. But every time you step in too soon, the same pattern repeats: You’re not trading your process You’re trading your emotions, your sense of self worth and lets be honest Face it. You’ve been hijacked. Body cues: Eyes darting across screens, scanning for reversal signals. Shoulders tense, leaning closer to the monitor. A restless tapping of fingers or bouncing knee as you wait for confirmation. Breath shortening, shallow and quick. Underlying belief: “If I can catch this, I’ll prove that I’m right” How to shift it: When you feel that urge to step in early, force a pause. Name what’s really happening: “My mind wants action, and it wants to be right ”. Ask the question “Do I want to be right or do I want to make money?” Then redirect that energy toward process - not action. Waiting doesn’t make you passive. It’s an act of discipline and power. Remember Eddie Murphy and Dan Ackroyd in Trading Places. The art of waiting for the moment, and then engaging is the mark of a disciplined professional trader.

Ethereum’s cycle looks topped as liquidity and demand dry upCrypto bull markets tend to follow a script: Bitcoin outperforms Ethereum, the latter catches up along with altcoins, eventually ending its bull rally after hitting an all-time high. In 2025, that pattern repeated, and Ethereum now looks caught at the end of its run. The network’s liquidity is vanishing, institutional positioning is turning cautious, and the mechanics of its own design are pushing it back into inflation. Ethereum’s Fee Mechanics Reverse the Burn Daily transactions on Layer-1 are holding near 1.6 million. The number of active Ethereum wallets has climbed to 127 million, marking a 22% increase over the past year, indicating sticky user activity. Despite this, Ethereum has shifted back into a net inflationary phase, with ETH burns falling below issuance. The main driver for this is the historically low gas fees, which reduce the burn levels even when transaction volumes remain steady. In February 2025, Ethereum expanded the network’s daily capacity by increasing its block gas limit, allowing more transactions in each block. Hence, while the number of transactions stayed roughly the same until May 2025, the total gas used per block rose significantly. However, each unit of gas still cost less, which led to lower transaction fees and, crucially, less ETH being burnt. This shift tipped Ethereum back into net inflation; respite came starting in May until September with an increase in transaction volume, but we’re back to seeing on-network transactions decline since then. Institutions Expressing Caution CME has quietly become Ethereum’s second home. By mid-2025, over 70% of all fixed-expiry ETH futures OI were sitting on CME. That’s a reflection of how hedge funds, asset managers, and ETF issuers are choosing to express ETH exposure through margin-efficient mechanisms. In Q2 alone, average daily volume on CME’s ETH futures surged past 16,000 contracts, nearly $1.8 billion in notional value per day, at a time when ETH was down 25% YTD. Today, though, with ETH up 25% YTD, CME futures posted consecutive record-breaking months. July saw $118 billion in volume, a then all-time high, followed by $173.9 billion in August that marked the highest monthly volume in CME’s history. OI also spiked, rising from $2.97 billion in June to $7.94 billion in August, reflecting surging institutional demand. Over the past month, institutional investors have cut long positions and increased shorts. Asset manager net positioning has historically been a reliable signal of price declines, with major reversals in net longs often lagging sharp futures selloffs over the last five years. The latest reversal shows a pattern similar to those past episodes. The thesis of altcoin rallying after BTC did prove itself right, but that cycle has now run its course. Institutions are increasingly using ETFs as an investment tool. While ETFs have grown structurally, recent outflows have mirrored price declines. Given their larger influence on the ETH market, sustained outflows or weaker inflows could trigger a slowdown similar to last year, when prices also fell sharply. A Familiar Pattern Historically, Ethereum underperforms Bitcoin and then outpaces it. Year-to-date, bitcoin is up 22%, with Ethereum currently outperforming by over 3%. The ETH/BTC ratio is often the best early indicator of that shift. After hitting a painful low of 0.018 in April, it started to climb again, up 130% over four months, peaking at over 0.043 in August. But this altcoin cycle carries new weight. ETH stakers have withdrawal access and an incentive to take profit, especially as yields compress and prices plateau. Meanwhile, a deeper derivatives market means speculative blowoffs are harder to sustain, as hedging accelerates mean reversion. Conclusions and Lessons From History Institutions are increasingly driving Ethereum’s price action. With ETFs and CME futures gaining dominance, tracking institutional positioning is critical. Current data shows caution: asset managers have cut net long positions since the rally peak, and ETF outflows are accelerating. After reaching a new all-time high, ETH’s performance mirrors the 2021 peak. Many recent ETF buyers entered at elevated prices, leaving a significant share of holdings unprofitable. If prices fall back to March levels, more than half of ETF inflows from the past year would be at risk of losses. With profit-taking in full swing, prices echo the peak during the 2021 bull run. A short position from present levels has the potential for massive upside according to historical trends. Historically, after profit-taking at key price levels—measured by a drop in MVRV—ETH has averaged a 36% decline over two months. Currently, just 18 days past the last all-time high and only 5% lower, historical patterns suggest the potential for a sharper downturn. With prices already trading at the 23.6% fibonacci level, continued decline could push prices lower to the 38.2% level at 3600. A relevant case study is the decline following profit-taking after ETH’s all-time high in 2021. A simulated position under similar conditions to today shows a compelling return profile, highlighting how traders can benefit from profit-taking–driven downturns. Please note that historical trends are not indicative of future performance. The strategy was not universally successful. A comparable position in September 2021, when ETH retested its prior ATH, would have resulted in losses. This underscores the importance of monitoring multiple signals that confirm slowing momentum and active profit-taking before entering such trades. Entering too early, before the bull run has fully played out, poses a significant risk. This content is sponsored.

From Strength to Weakness: ETH Validates a Key Bearish PatternIntroduction (Market Context) Ether Futures (ETH) and Micro Ether Futures (MET) have been at the center of market attention since April 2025, when prices staged a remarkable rally of more than +250%. This surge was not just a technical phenomenon—it came in the wake of major macro events such as Liberation Day and the reemergence of U.S. tariff policies under Donald Trump’s administration. Those developments sparked speculative flows into digital assets, with Ether acting as one of the prime beneficiaries of capital rotation. Yet markets rarely move in one direction forever. After such a sharp rise, technical exhaustion often follows, and signs of that exhaustion are beginning to surface on ETH’s daily chart. Traders who enjoyed the rally now face a critical juncture: whether to protect gains or to consider new opportunities in the opposite direction. The key lies in a pattern that has appeared many times in history, often marking important reversals—the Rising Wedge. What is a Rising Wedge? A Rising Wedge is one of the most recognizable bearish reversal formations in technical analysis. It typically develops after a strong uptrend, where price continues to push higher but does so with diminishing momentum. On the chart, the highs and lows still point upward, but the slope of the highs is shallower than the slope of the lows, creating a narrowing upward channel. The psychology behind the wedge is critical: buyers are still in control, but they are running out of strength with every push higher. Sellers begin to absorb demand more aggressively, and eventually, price breaks through the lower boundary of the wedge. This breakdown often accelerates as trapped buyers unwind positions. From a measurement perspective, technicians project the maximum width of the wedge at its start, and then apply that distance downward from the point of breakdown. This projection offers a technical target for where price may gravitate in the following weeks. In the case of Ether Futures, that target points toward the 3,200 area, a level of strong technical interest and a logical area for traders to watch closely. RSI and Bearish Divergence Alongside the wedge, momentum indicators add further weight to the bearish case. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a widely used oscillator that measures momentum on a scale of 0 to 100. Values above 70 are generally interpreted as “overbought,” while values below 30 suggest “oversold.” The most powerful signals often emerge not when RSI is at an extreme, but when it diverges from price action. A bearish divergence occurs when price sets higher highs while RSI forms lower highs. This is an indication that upward momentum is weakening even as price appears to climb. Ether Futures have displayed this phenomenon clearly over the past few weeks. The daily chart shows four successive higher highs in price, yet RSI failed to confirm these moves, instead tracing a series of lower peaks. Notably, RSI pierced the overbought zone above 70 twice during this period, but momentum faded quickly after each attempt. This divergence is a classic early warning sign that a bullish run is running out of steam. Forward-Looking Trade Idea With the Rising Wedge breakdown and RSI divergence in place, a structured trade plan emerges. Futures traders can express this view through either the standard Ether Futures contract (ETH) or its smaller counterpart, the Micro Ether Futures contract (MET). Contract Specs & Margins Ether Futures (ETH): Notional = 50 Ether, Tick size = 0.50, Tick value = $25.00, Initial margin ≈ $68,800 (subject to CME updates). Micro Ether Futures (MET): Notional = 0.1 Ether, Tick size = 0.50, Tick value = $0.05, Initial margin ≈ $140 (subject to CME updates). Trade Plan (Bearish Setup) Direction: Short Entry: 4,360 Target: 3,200 Stop Loss: 4,702 (coinciding with a minor resistance level) Reward-to-Risk Ratio: ≈ 3.39 : 1 The projected wedge target around 3,200 is not only a measured move from the pattern but also sits close to a previously established UFO support zone. While anecdotal, this confluence reinforces the credibility of the level as a potential magnet for price. Risk Management Regardless of how compelling a technical setup may appear, the most decisive factor in trading remains risk management. Defining risk in advance ensures that losses are limited if the market behaves unexpectedly. In this case, placing the stop at 4,702 not only keeps risk under control but also aligns with a minor resistance level, making the trade plan technically coherent. Position sizing also plays a crucial role. The availability of Micro Ether Futures (MET) allows traders to participate with significantly reduced capital requirements compared to the full-sized ETH contract. This flexibility makes it easier to fine-tune exposure and manage account risk more precisely. Equally important is the discipline of adhering to precise entries and exits. Chasing a trade or ignoring pre-defined stop levels can erode the edge provided by technical analysis. Markets often deliver multiple opportunities, but without sound risk management, traders may not survive long enough to benefit from them. Ultimately, capital preservation is the foundation on which consistent performance is built. Closing Ether’s spectacular rally since April 2025 is a reminder of the asset’s ability to deliver explosive moves under the right conditions. Yet history shows that parabolic advances rarely continue uninterrupted. The combination of a Rising Wedge breakdown and a confirmed RSI divergence provides strong evidence that the current uptrend is losing momentum, and the market may be entering a corrective phase. For traders, this is less about predicting the future and more about recognizing when probabilities align in favor of a defined setup. With clear entry, target, and stop levels, the ETH and MET contracts offer a structured opportunity for those willing to take a bearish stance while managing their risk appropriately.

Ether futures: Quarterly signal and new ATH...GN gents, As you know, I've been bullish ETH for a while now, although I had hedged partially in the last few days ahead of the correction we had, but now started deploying cash I raised again. Ether futures chart from CME shows more conservative targets than stop given that it has more limited data, but it is interesting to be aware of what tradfi whales see when operating in this market. With some luck, macro data doesn't derail the train here, and things move steadily higher for the rest of the year and into early to half 2026 at least, before significant corrections or "bear markets" unfold. Best of luck! Cheers, Ivan Labrie.

BTC, ETH CME Gaps Could Fill Before Bullish Continuation!Ethereum CME futures currently show a visible gap around $4,100 . Price is approaching this level, and based on historical behavior, CME gaps often act as magnets, drawing price in to fill them before a continuation in trend. Bitcoin CME futures also have a gap sitting near $117,400. The recent rally has brought BTC close to this zone, increasing the probability of a short-term retracement to fill the gap before any significant breakout attempts. Both gaps are key areas to watch, as a clean fill followed by strong buying pressure could set the stage for the next bullish wave in BTC and ETH. Cheers Hexa

Nasdaq Hits New All Time HighThe big news of the session today was the CPI report, which rose by a less than expected amount in July. Initially, equity markets jumped off of the report and were able to close the day higher after some back and forth price action. THe Russell was the leader which traded up near 3% on the day while the S&P and Nasdaq traded to their all time high prices. While the Nasdaq was at an all time high, the Russell is looking to cross a critical level that traders have not seen since February of this year. Outside of the equities, the significant jump in the Crypto markets continued today which was led by Ether futures and Solana futures which both traded up about 8% on the day. Ether futures have been on an incredible stretch to the upside and have now reached a level not seen since December of 2021, showing strong continued momentum. Bitcoin has also continued to slowly climb higher and will be looking to re-test its all time high price which is right near $123,615.

Quantum Solutions BTC Rises Amid Yen Weakness Strategic BITDPSAs Japan’s yen continues to slide against the U.S. dollar, Quantum Solutions, a Japanese technology firm, is doubling down on Bitcoin exposure — a move that reflects a broader trend among Asian firms seeking digital assets as a hedge. For companies like BITDPS, these market shifts present a unique opportunity to profit from both macro and crypto volatility. Yen Weakness and Bitcoin Exposure The Japanese yen has depreciated over 10% year-to-date, hitting multi-decade lows. With the Bank of Japan maintaining ultra-low interest rates while the U.S. continues its hawkish stance, the yen’s weakness seems far from over. Quantum Solutions' decision to increase its Bitcoin holdings reflects: Hedging against currency devaluation Diversification of balance sheet assets Speculative positioning on crypto upside Their latest filings show millions allocated to Bitcoin, signaling increasing institutional acceptance of crypto in Japan — a market historically cautious about digital assets. Why It Matters for Global Markets Quantum Solutions is not alone. Across Asia, especially in inflation-sensitive economies, corporations are reassessing fiat stability and exploring crypto for capital preservation and yield. This emerging demand can push Bitcoin’s price upward in regional cycles, increase demand for crypto infrastructure, and elevate trading volume — all creating an environment ripe for arbitrage, hedging, and structured crypto-financial products. How BITDPS Capitalizes on This Trend BITDPS is uniquely positioned to profit from macro-driven crypto moves thanks to its: Cross-border trading infrastructure — enabling arbitrage between Asian and Western exchanges Currency-volatility hedging systems — profiting from forex-crypto interdependencies Dynamic algorithmic trading models — adjusting exposure as macro signals shift As institutional players like Quantum Solutions increase their Bitcoin holdings, price reactions across spot, futures, and derivatives markets become predictable and exploitable — with the right tools. At BITDPS, we monitor macro shifts like yen devaluation in real-time, plug that data into our crypto-trading systems, and execute precision trades that extract value from currency-crypto correlations. We profit when price inefficiencies appear — regardless of direction. Conclusion The growing institutional Bitcoin interest in Japan, driven by yen weakness, marks a new era of macro-crypto integration. For Quantum Solutions, it’s a hedge. For BITDPS, it’s a profit machine. As volatility persists, we stand ready — using smart AI systems and global liquidity access — to turn every macro ripple into actionable alpha.

MEV Bot Exploit by MIT-Educated Brothers Leads to $25M CryptoIn the dynamic world of crypto trading, where cutting-edge innovation meets finance, abuses are inevitable. One of the most prominent cases of the year involves brothers Anton and James Peraire-Bueno, MIT graduates accused of exploiting Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) strategies to siphon off $25 million from the Ethereum ecosystem within seconds. The case may set a precedent for how automated behavior in decentralized systems is judged under traditional legal frameworks. What Happened? According to the prosecution, the brothers deployed several Ethereum validators and used specialized algorithms to reorder transactions within blocks. This allowed them to front-run other MEV bots and redirect transaction flows in their favor—a textbook mempool attack. In just 12 seconds, they allegedly drained $25 million in ETH and other digital assets. Why Is This Case Unique? First major MEV case involving such significant financial losses Criminal charges despite actions operating within protocol rules Academic background of the defendants adds to the public intrigue This case raises a key legal question: Can actions that are technically “legal” under protocol rules still constitute fraud if they are knowingly harmful to other participants? Implications for the Crypto Industry The trial could redefine ethical and legal standards in the DeFi and automated trading sectors. If convicted, this could trigger a broader review of front-running bots, sandwich attacks, and other MEV strategies that, until now, have existed in a legal gray area. As the regulatory landscape evolves, this trial may become a cornerstone in shaping how future MEV tactics are governed—and how automated trading fits into the legal definition of financial manipulation.

Pi Network Faces Scrutiny as Market Cap Hits $3.4BPi Network, the mobile-first crypto project that attracted millions of users with its "mine-on-your-phone" concept, is facing growing scrutiny as its market capitalization has surged to $3.4 billion, despite lingering concerns over its actual utility and use cases. As hype continues to propel its valuation, the community and broader crypto market are demanding answers: What can Pi really do? Background and Growth Launched in 2019 by a team of Stanford graduates, Pi Network aimed to democratize cryptocurrency mining by enabling users to earn tokens on their smartphones without expensive hardware. Through aggressive referral-based marketing and a user-friendly interface, it reportedly attracted over 50 million users globally. However, after years in beta and a still-limited mainnet release, the Pi token is not yet fully tradable on major exchanges, and its price remains speculative. Despite that, Pi's market cap is estimated at $3.4 billion based on limited OTC (over-the-counter) trading and projected supply metrics. Utility Concerns Intensify With a large user base and growing token valuation, the pressure is on for Pi Network to deliver tangible value. Key concerns include: Lack of utility – Most users cannot use Pi to pay for goods or services in real-world scenarios. No open mainnet – While a “closed mainnet” has launched, the network still lacks full public blockchain access, hampering transparency and developer participation. Centralization – Pi’s governance and decision-making remain opaque, raising questions about decentralization and long-term sustainability. No listings on major exchanges – Without real-time market discovery, token valuation remains speculative and potentially misleading. Community Reaction Many early adopters continue to support Pi, viewing it as a long-term project that needs time to mature. Some local communities even organize Pi-based bartering systems. However, critics argue that without real-world use cases, Pi remains a glorified points system rather than a functional cryptocurrency. The disconnect between market cap and utility has fueled concerns of a speculative bubble. In fact, some compare Pi to past projects like BitConnect, which promised much but delivered little. The Road Ahead To maintain its momentum and justify its valuation, Pi Network must: Open its mainnet to public interaction and developer contributions. Secure listings on reputable exchanges to enable transparent price discovery. Establish real-world utility, such as integration with e-commerce, payments, or DeFi applications. Improve transparency around tokenomics, governance, and long-term roadmap. Failure to address these areas could result in an erosion of community trust and capital flight to more proven projects. Conclusion Pi Network’s $3.4 billion market cap is both impressive and problematic. It highlights the power of community-driven growth but also underscores the risks of hype-driven valuations. As the crypto market matures, utility—not just marketing—is what will determine long-term success. For Pi, the clock is ticking to move from potential to performance.

ETH Risk 15% Correction After Fall Below $2,000 What’s Next?Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has recently fallen below the key $2,000 support level, both technically and psychologically important. This move has fueled bearish sentiment and triggered forecasts of a possible further decline to the $1,700 zone—representing a potential 15% correction from current levels. Technical Overview Following the breakdown of the $2,000 support, Ethereum has come under increasing selling pressure. Several technical indicators are pointing toward further downside: RSI (Relative Strength Index) has dipped into oversold territory, reflecting strong bearish momentum. MACD has turned negative, suggesting further downward movement. The 50-day and 200-day moving averages are approaching a potential death cross, which may confirm a medium-term bearish trend. Fundamental Headwinds Declining network activity – Transaction volume, DeFi engagement, and NFT usage on Ethereum are all decreasing, affecting demand for ETH. Increased liquidity from staking withdrawals – Recent protocol upgrades have led to a rise in ETH available for sale. Rising competition from L2 and alternative chains (e.g., Solana, Avalanche) – This is drawing capital and attention away from Ethereum. Where Is the Next Support? Key support zones lie near $1,850 and then at $1,700. If these levels fail, ETH could potentially drop to the March lows around $1,500. That said, such a move would likely require a major macroeconomic shock or a significant negative crypto-specific event. Is a Reversal Possible? Despite the bearish signals, ETH still holds strong long-term fundamentals as one of the most widely used blockchain platforms. Potential catalysts for a recovery include: Renewed interest in staking and on-chain activity. Positive news regarding spot or futures-based ETH ETFs. Rising developer and institutional engagement, especially around innovations like EigenLayer and L2 adoption. Conclusion Ethereum’s breakdown below $2,000 puts it in a technically vulnerable position, with the possibility of further short-term downside. While bearish momentum dominates for now, ETH remains a core asset in the crypto space. Investors should brace for more volatility but also stay alert for signs of recovery as the broader ecosystem continues to evolve.

XRP Whales Move $759 Million in Tokens Paribas Group AnalysisAn extraordinary on-chain event has captured traders' attention: wallets holding significant XRP balances—commonly referred to as “whales”—have transferred a total of $759 million worth of XRP in recent blocks. Paribas Group investigates the motives, potential market impact, and strategic context behind this movement. Transaction Breakdown According to ledger analytics, multiple transfers in excess of 100 million XRP per transaction occurred across different days. Some tokens were moved to self-hosted wallets, others to lesser-known exchanges. Only a small portion appears earmarked for active trading. Potential Whale Objectives Custodial reshuffling: Whales may be migrating tokens between private addresses or custodial services to streamline portfolio structure, not necessarily to sell. Institutional repositioning: Redistribution to regulated entities could indicate upcoming trading or staking activity. Whale accumulation or profit taking: Transfers to exchanges may signal an intention to sell, while self-transfers could denote accumulation. Market Context XRP has remained range-bound amid fluctuating sentiment surrounding Ripple’s legal settlement and anticipated widespread bank adoption. The recent whale movements coincide with rumors of banking clients integrating XRP into payment rails, indicating whales could be preemptively positioning for institutional demand. Paribas Trading Insight Track exchange shifts: Continuous tracking of XRP inflows into centralized exchanges may signal imminent sell pressure. Observe liquidity depth: After such large transfers, watch out for spread tightening and order book fluctuations. Strategic entries and exits: Paribas encourages deploying limit orders at key support/resistance levels to benefit from short-term volatility triggered by whale activity. Conclusion The $759 million XRP whale transfer is potentially strategic repositioning ahead of an anticipated institutional adoption news cycle. Paribas Group awaits further exchange activity for confirmation. In the interim, prudent investors are advised to monitor wallet behavior, scale positions based on liquidity dynamics, and remain alert to sudden shifts in XRP market structure.
