Market Signal Briefing

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (“Solaris”) (NYSE:SEI) announced today, in a separate press release, its intention to offer, in an underwritten public offering, subject to market and other conditions, $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “notes”), plus up to an additional $90,000,000 aggregate principal amount of notes that the underwriters of the notes offering have the option to purchase from Solaris.

Concurrently with the offering of the notes, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, acting on behalf of itself and/or its affiliates (in such capacity, the “delta offering underwriter”), intends to offer, in a separate, underwritten offering, a number of shares of Solaris’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A common stock”), borrowed from third parties (the “concurrent delta offering”), to facilitate hedging transactions (whether physical and/or through derivatives) by some of the purchasers of the notes. The number of shares of Class A common stock subject to the concurrent delta offering will be determined at the time of pricing of the concurrent delta offering and is expected to be no greater than commercially reasonable initial short positions of such hedging investors in the notes. No new shares of Class A common stock will be issued, and Solaris will not receive any proceeds from the concurrent delta offering. The concurrent delta offering and the offering of the notes are contingent upon one another.

Solaris has filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (including a prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The concurrent delta offering is being made only by means of the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and other documents that Solaris has filed with the SEC for more complete information about Solaris and the offering. You may obtain these documents free of charge by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

NEW YORK, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notifies investors in Cytokinetics, Incorporated ("Cytokinetics" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CYTK) of a class action securities lawsuit.

CLASS DEFINITION: The lawsuit seeks to recover losses on behalf of Cytokinetics investors who were adversely affected by alleged securities fraud between December 27, 2023 and May 6, 2025. Follow the link below to get more information and be contacted by a member of our team:

CYTK investors may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (212) 363-7500.

CASE DETAILS: According to the complaint, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the timeline for the New Drug Application (“NDA”) submission and approval process for aficamten. Specifically, defendants represented that the Company expected approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for its NDA for aficamten in the second half of 2025, based on a September 26, 2025 PDUFA date, and failed to disclose material risks related to the Company’s failure to submit a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (“REMS”) that could delay the regulatory process. On May 6, 2025, during an earnings call, it was revealed that the Company had multiple pre-NDA meetings with the FDA discussing safety monitoring and risk mitigation but chose to submit the NDA without a REMS, relying on labeling and voluntary education materials. This confirmed defendants’ awareness of potential REMS requirements and their reckless decision to omit it from the initial submission, misleading investors about the regulatory timeline. As a result of defendants’ false and misleading statements, class members purchased Cytokinetics’ common stock at artificially inflated prices and suffered significant losses when the truth was revealed.

WHAT'S NEXT? If you suffered a loss in Cytokinetics during the relevant time frame, you have until November 17, 2025 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.

NO COST TO YOU: If you are a class member, you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket costs or fees. There is no cost or obligation to participate.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new class-action lawsuit is targeting KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR), alleging the company made misleading statements to investors in the weeks leading up to the abrupt cancellation of a major military contract. The suit, Norrman v. KBR, Inc., et al., No. 4:25-cv-04464 (S.D. Tex.), was filed after the company’s stock plunged following the termination of a multi-billion-dollar deal.

National shareholders rights firm Hagens Berman urges KBR investors who suffered substantial losses to submit your losses now. The firm also encourages persons with knowledge who may be able to assist in the investigation to contact its attorneys.

KBR, Inc. (KBR) Securities Class Action:

The legal action seeks to represent shareholders who purchased KBR securities between May 6, 2025, and June 19, 2025. It claims that KBR executives provided a falsely optimistic outlook on a crucial partnership just as it was on the verge of collapse.

The litigation stems from the Department of Defense U.S. Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) canceling its global household goods contract with HomeSafe Alliance LLC, a joint venture led by KBR. The decision, announced on June 20, 2025, caused KBR shares to fall over 7% as investors reacted to the loss of a contract valued at up to $20 billion over a potential nine-year term.

The suit highlights a key discrepancy: on May 6, 2025, during its Q1 earnings call, KBR assured investors that the HomeSafe partnership was "strong" and "excellent" and that the company was "very confident in the future of this program."

However, just weeks later, on June 19, 2025, HomeSafe disclosed that TRANSCOM had terminated the contract for cause. The termination reportedly came after months of operational issues, including chronic delays, missed pickups, and a rise in complaints about damaged goods. The complaint alleges that KBR was aware of TRANSCOM’s material concerns but chose to conceal them from investors. The lawsuit argues that this misrepresentation led to the significant financial losses suffered by shareholders.

“We’re focused on whether KBR may have intentionally misled investors about the true status of the relationship with TRANSCOM and the contract,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

BMNR Technical Analysis (Source: TradingView)

BitMine Immersion, the largest corporate Ethereum holder, advanced more than 9% to trade above $62, breaking through its descending trendline and testing the top of a cup-and-handle structure.

The company disclosed holdings of 2.83 million ETH worth $12.8 billion as reported on Oct. 5, alongside $456 million in cash and $113 million in equity stakes. 

Its balance sheet exposure makes BMNR a direct proxy for Ethereum's price.

Treasury Scale And Market ImpactBitMine ranks as the world's largest Ethereum treasury and the second-largest crypto treasury overall, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR). 

Chairman Thomas "Tom" Lee said the company's goal is to reach ownership of 5% of total ETH supply, calling it part of the "two supercycle narratives" of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency.

Lee told investors that Ethereum's role as the base layer for Wall Street adoption and blockchain AI integration will be "one of the biggest macro trades over the next 10 to 15 years."

Why It MattersThe rise of BitMine as Ethereum's largest corporate holder marks a turning point in how equity markets price crypto exposure.

Unlike Bitcoin, where ETFs dominate headlines, Ethereum's corporate treasuries are quietly shaping a parallel playbook.

BitMine's ambition to own 5% of ETH supply would make it larger than most sovereign reserves and rival traditional commodity stockpiles.

The company's dual framing of Ethereum as both financial plumbing for Wall Street and infrastructure for AI creates a rare macro crossover.

This positions ETH not just as a cryptocurrency, but as the backbone of two of the century's biggest investment themes.

If ETH sustains above $4,600, BMNR's chart projects a retest of $70 and potentially a move toward $130, tying equity upside directly to Ethereum's trajectory.

In brief
Zcash is being highlighted by notable individuals on social media.
The token’s price has increased nearly 240% over the past two days.
Mert Mumtaz said Zcash would hit $1,000.
Zcash’s price rose to $165 on Monday as Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Solana infrastructure firm Helius Labs, continued cheerleading the token on X, among other notable crypto observers.

Mumtaz has emerged one of Zcash’s most vocal backers, and he said on Monday that he “love[s] shilling privacy stuff because it actually ends up making a difference in the privacy properties of these systems.” He called for the token to hit $1,000.

Alongside his price prediction, Mumtaz posted a chart displaying the amount of Zcash being “shielded” through zero-knowledge proofs. He noted that the amount of funds effectively being masked “is going up and to the right over time.”

Zcash changed hands around $162 on Monday, a 7.5% increase over the past day, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko. The cryptocurrency’s price has surged nearly 240% over the past two weeks, but it remains far off all-time highs.

Zcash debuted in 2016, and its price peaked around $3,200 then. On Monday, Zcash was changing hands around its highest level since April 2022.

When asked about his interest in Zcash, Mumtaz directed Decrypt to a post on X, in which he says he likes Zcash because it has “a stronger privacy and scale design” than alternatives like Monero, fresh talent entering its ecosystem, and a longstanding community.

“Do not allocate what you're not willing to lose, this is risky,” he said in the post. “Only look into it if you agree with the argument on its merits.”

Mumtaz acknowledged to Decrypt that other people’s social media activity “also likely helped start an interest flywheel.”

A crypto streamer who goes by Gainzy on X shared a link to a livestream on Monday alongside an image of Zcash's logo. Chris Burniske, a partner at venture capital firm Placeholder, meanwhile shared a link to the company’s thesis on Zcash on X, which also mentions Bitcoin. 

“While Zcash was in part inspired by Bitcoin, the community has never been content being ‘Bitcoin but with privacy,’” it states. “Instead, they have recognized other core deficiencies in Bitcoin’s design, and worked to create a more sustainable system.”

A notable venture capitalist called Naval Ravikant also highlighted Zcash on X last week. The post has been viewed 2.9 million times. He called Zcash “insurance against Bitcoin,” suggesting that it has beneficial properties compared to the asset often portrayed as digital gold.

Zcash is used for private transactions, but users can also send transparent ones. Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger that anyone can see, so they are comparatively pseudonymous because wallet addresses aren’t tied to actual identities.  

Last week, crypto data provider Messari said that Zcash was leading “weekly mindshare with a 1,000% increase” on X. That means that interest had risen notably in the token on social media, and more so than other cryptocurrencies like Litecoin and Curve.

Zcash’s recent rally follows news from crypto asset manager Grayscale, which at the beginning of this month, said on X that it was creating a private placement for Zcash, allowing eligible investors to gain exposure to the token.

When it comes to renewed interest in Zcash, Gainzy doubted that it had anything to do with its technical merits while streaming on Monday.

"Retail doesn't care about zero-knowledge proofs. They don't care about retail about shielded transactions," he said. "They care about green candles, bro. They care about dollar signs going up, and that's finally happening."

Ethereum (ETH) is showing strong bullish momentum as technical indicators suggest the cryptocurrency could climb toward $5,200 in the next 4-6 weeks. Trading at $4,532, ETH remains above key support levels, providing a solid base for further upside despite short-term consolidation.

Institutional adoption surges as treasuries turn to digital assets in uncertain political times.

Key Takeaways

Bitcoin has reached a new all-time high above $126,000, driven by sustained institutional accumulation.
Institutional investors and corporate treasuries increasingly treat Bitcoin as a store of value, not just a speculative asset.

Bitcoin reached a new all-time high above $126,000 today, solidifying the digital asset’s status as a preferred store of value amid global political instability.

The milestone reflects sustained institutional accumulation, with corporate treasuries continuing to integrate Bitcoin into their investment strategies throughout 2025.

Sovereign funds have shown renewed interest in the digital asset as global political tensions reinforce Bitcoin’s positioning as a hedge similar to gold.

The rally underscores Bitcoin’s evolution from speculative trading vehicle to institutional store of value, with treasuries showing no signs of slowing their accumulation strategies.

Key Takeaways
How have whales influenced Ethereum’s latest move?
Whales injected over $72M into ETH, reinforcing confidence as prices held above $4,460 and trendline support.

What metrics define Ethereum’s next major breakout?
A break above $4,770 could confirm continuation, backed by a rising Stock-to-Flow ratio and bullish trader positioning.

Ethereum [ETH] whales have intensified their accumulation pace, with on-chain data showing over $72 million in combined inflows across trading platforms. 

A whale deposited $33 million in USD Coin [USDC] on Hyperliquid [HYPE] to purchase 7,311 ETH, while another withdrew 8,695 ETH worth $39.5 million from Binance. 

These transactions underscore strong institutional conviction and continued confidence in Ethereum’s resilience above key technical zones. 

Moreover, this aggressive accumulation amid market stability reveals a strategic buildup ahead of potential upward continuation.

It reinforces the growing narrative of long-term investor dominance across the Ethereum market landscape.

Bulls protect the $4,460 support zone
Ethereum’s daily chart reflected a solid uptrend, supported by the ascending trendline connecting higher lows from early July.

The price has remained comfortably above the $4,460 support level, while targeting the next key resistance around $4,770. 

This pattern shows bullish control, with each dip attracting strong demand near the trendline.

Meanwhile, the DMI indicator confirmed this momentum — +DI at 27.86 dominated -DI at 20.51, and the ADX hovering around 20 suggested that the trend was gaining strength. 

Therefore, sustained closes above $4,460 could propel Ethereum toward a new breakout phase above $4,770.

Source: TradingView

Tightening Ethereum supply dynamics
Ethereum’s Stock-to-Flow ratio has surged to 47.16, highlighting a sharp contraction in available supply relative to issuance. 

This rise signals that fewer coins are circulating while demand continues to climb, often preceding mid-term price expansions. 

The ongoing deflationary effect since the Merge has reinforced Ethereum’s scarcity narrative, enhancing its appeal among institutional holders. 

This increase in the Stock-to-Flow metric aligns with heightened accumulation from large wallets, suggesting that supply compression may further amplify Ethereum’s upside potential as the broader market stabilizes.

Traders align with Ethereum’s bullish momentum
60.52% of traders held long positions compared to 39.48% shorts at press time, pushing the Long/Short Ratio to 1.53. This bullish tilt indicates that market participants are positioning for further upside. 

It also reflects growing confidence in Ethereum’s ability to sustain strength above the $4,460 support and potentially challenge $4,770 resistance. However, short-term corrections remain possible if leverage rises excessively. 

Still, this alignment between retail traders and whale behavior adds confluence to Ethereum’s ongoing rally, showing sentiment and price structure moving in the same direction.

Could whale conviction fuel Ethereum’s next major rally?
Ethereum’s price action, supported by whale inflows, rising Stock-to-Flow ratio, and bullish derivatives data, suggests momentum remains intact. 

The defense of $4,460 as a key structural level highlights buyers’ dominance, while the next test at $4,770 could confirm a renewed breakout phase.

These overlapping metrics demonstrate a synchronized buildup of on-chain and market confidence. 

If whale activity continues reinforcing liquidity and demand, Ethereum may be gearing up for a sustained advance — potentially marking the beginning of its next macro expansion cycle.

Summarize this article with:

After setting a new historic record by nearing 125,000 dollars, Bitcoin shows signs of fatigue. Is it ready to climb another step or will it consolidate under resistance? Crypto analysts do not share the same enthusiasm. While some anticipate a rise towards 150,000 dollars, others predict an accumulation phase. The recent ATH has rekindled hope, but caution remains necessary.

In brief

Bitcoin surpassed 124,000 dollars, fueling speculation of a new increase.
Traders see consolidation between 118,000 and 123,000 dollars as a probable scenario.
An AI model from CryptoQuant anticipates a calm October, with no significant breakout expected.

Bitcoin at $124,000: Between chartist excitement and trader caution
At first glance, Bitcoin seems in excellent shape. But beyond the peak, the technical reality reminds us that the crypto star remains locked within a well-defined channel. Since its jump above 125,000 dollars, BTC is moving between a support identified around $108,000 and resistance at $123,000. This range acts as a real psychological and technical barrier.

Some traders mention a classic “weekend squeeze” followed by a retracement. According to Daan Crypto Trades, this bullish move quickly gave way to a pause, suggesting a perpetual rather than fundamental impulse. Another analyst believes the rise was “entirely driven by perpetual contracts” (TedPillows, X), making the progress fragile without institutional support.

For others, the current setup corresponds to a recharging phase. An informed user points out that a return to the 50 exponential moving average in H4 — located at $119,250 — would be healthy before another breakout attempt. “I therefore still favor long positions over shorts from this moving average“, CrypNuevo specifies.

Bitcoin must prove that this $124,000 resistance is weakening. And any more moderate pullback or correction from now on would go in this direction.

Rekt Capital, X.
Crypto and institutions: the growing influence of ETFs on Bitcoin price
Beyond graphical analysis, another key factor is mentioned by crypto analysts: the impact of institutional flows. According to Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget, the recent rise of BTC is based on much more solid foundations than mere transient enthusiasm. 

In his view, massive flows into spot ETFs contributed to driving the price upward.

Indeed, data confirms unprecedented enthusiasm from asset managers. The correlation between peaks of crypto ETF inflows and price accelerations is well established. Furthermore, some analysts believe that if this momentum persists, the next step could be a test of the 130,000-dollar area. This positions BTC as a strategic asset in institutional portfolios.

Even Ethereum benefits indirectly: a rebound towards $4,800 to $5,000 is envisaged if the momentum holds. In this context, savvy crypto investors bet on diversified exposure. The evolution of spot ETFs is therefore to be monitored as a major barometer of overall confidence in the crypto industry.

When AI cools enthusiasm: the limits of an “Uptober” 2025
But in this chorus of optimism, one algorithmic voice tempers the euphoria. CryptoQuant, via its AI tool NBeats Ensemble, estimates that a true breakout in October remains unlikely. According to this model trained on 379 on-chain variables, the probability of a decisive break is low.

The analysis mentions prolonged consolidation, with expected fluctuations in the upper half of the range, between $118,000 and $123,000. This situation resembles a phase of “silent re-accumulation” orchestrated by large holders.

The model forecasts continuous fluctuations inside the current range. However, there is a subtle but important nuance in this forecast: the model expects these fluctuations to occur mainly in the upper half of this range.

CryptoQuant 
This scenario supports the idea of a market in transition rather than explosion. Indeed, many analysts note that the absence of clear macro catalysts, such as a Fed decision postponed due to shutdown, slows momentum.

Key figures and points to remember:

The BTC price reached $125,700 over the weekend before retreating to $124,000;
The major support lies between $117,000 and $118,000;
The CryptoQuant AI model excludes a breakout before several weeks;
The overall sentiment remains at moderate “greed” with 71/100;
ETFs attracted more than $3.2 billion in a few days.

Despite doubts about a booming “Uptober,” the overall momentum remains bullish. Many analysts believe that bitcoin has not yet shown its full potential. For them, the end of 2025 could mark a historic turning point, with a surge few would have dared to anticipate months earlier.

0xngmi noted integrity demanded action, as Aster’s API inflated overall metrics and couldn’t be corrected with a warning.

DeFiLlama has officially delisted perpetual futures volume data from Aster.

The decision follows concerns over suspicious trading activity that mirrors that of Binance.

DeFiLlama Moves to Delist Aster (ASTER)
0xngmi, DeFiLlama’s pseudonymous co-founder, shared via X that there has been an ongoing investigation into the BNB-based decentralized exchange’s volumes. He compared XRPUSD and ETHUSDT trading on Aster with its competitor Hyperliquid. The results showed that the former’s pairs had an almost 1:1 match with Binance’s perpetual futures volumes, while its counterpart showed some differences.

The analytics platform explained that it also couldn’t check detailed order data, such as market maker or filler addresses, which made it hard to know if the trades were real or manipulated. This resulted in the decision to remove Aster’s perpetual data from the DeFiLlama dashboard.

Aster, which launched in September, quickly rose as a strong competitor to Hyperliquid. By late September, its daily perpetual trading volume had surged to $60 billion, briefly surpassing that of its rival.

The perpetuals DEX exchange’s dominance was supported by CZ’s public endorsement and backing from YZi Labs, which holds a minority stake through its earlier investment in Astherus.

0xngmi’s Response to Community Backlash
Elsewhere, the delisting has gotten mixed reactions from the X crypto community. Some users backed DeFiLlama’s move, viewing it as a step toward protecting data integrity, while others criticized it for alleged bias and spreading unnecessary FUD.

0xngmi has since denied conflict of interest claims, clarifying that they have never held HYPE or ASTER tokens nor opened any trading positions involving them. Additionally, he dispelled the allegations of unfairness by stating that similar actions had been taken against other exchanges.

In an update, he emphasized that the platform’s credibility depends on providing reliable figures since users make investment choices based on its data. He also dismissed accusations that the delisting was paid for, explaining that the development followed an unusual spike in trading volumes that prompted a review.

“All we care is about the integrity of our data cause its important that users can trust it,” read the statement.

0xngmi added that the move was made openly because a past quiet delisting of Aster had led to rumors of secret deals. The statement concluded with him sharing that a warning was also not possible since the platform’s API would still distort the overall data.

The US SEC recently approved a new set of generic listing standards in September 2025 for commodity-based exchange-traded products, including those tied to digital assets. 

Many in the industry now believe that this regulatory move could hasten the listing of spot ETFs for altcoins such as XRP, possibly as early as October. As it stands, all fingers point to Spot XRP ETFs hitting the industry at the end of October.

New SEC Guidelines To Speed Up Spot XRP ETF Approval
The prospect of Spot XRP ETFs launching in October is very promising. However, this anticipation now faces uncertainty due to a US federal government shutdown that has paralyzed much of the SEC’s routine operations.

Just weeks before the shutdown, the SEC introduced a new set of generic listing standards for commodity-based exchange-traded products. Under the old framework, each new ETF required a case-by-case review under Section 19(b), alongside an S-1 filing, often resulting in months of regulatory delay. This delay can be seen among Spot XRP ETF applications, many of which have been filed between January and March 2025 but are still waiting for approval.

The new rules, however, allow exchanges such as Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe to list qualifying ETFs automatically if they meet predefined standards. This change prompted the SEC to ask multiple issuers, including those behind XRP, Solana, and Cardano ETFs, to withdraw and refile their earlier applications under the new system.

Kenny Nguyen, a well-known crypto commentator, shared his view on X, noting that all eleven XRP ETF filings have already crossed their generic listing standards deadlines from their application date and are ready for simultaneous approval. ETF reviews can be completed in as little as 75 days under the new framework, meaning the filings have already surpassed that window. However, the SEC’s new generic listing standards officially took effect on October 1, the very same day the US government slipped into a partial shutdown.

Speaking of shutdowns, the US government entered a partial shutdown on October 1 after lawmakers failed to pass a new spending bill, which has left many federal agencies without operating funds. The SEC, which oversees ETF approvals, is among the agencies most affected.

This shutdown has paused the review and approval process for all pending spot ETF applications, including those tied to the altcoin. Financial law firm McGuireWoods noted that filings can still be made, but most reviews, responses, and actions are suspended. 

The Funds To Launch Once The Government Reopens
The timing of Spot XRP ETFs now depends on the US Congress ending the ongoing shutdown. Therefore, the crypto market could witness a quick wave of ETF approvals all at once once the SEC is back online. 

The SEC’s generic listing standards mean all that’s required is an S-1 registration (disclosure of fund structure, risks, etc.). As such, Spot XRP ETFs could hit the market in October, since their deadlines under the new rules have been extended. Even using the old timeline, all current XRP ETF applications would surpass the 120-day deadline between October 18 and 25.

As Bitcoin continues to climb major milestones, breaking a new all-time high (ATH) at $125,388 on October 5th, industry experts are increasingly making bullish predictions for the leading cryptocurrency. 

Amid growing confidence surrounding the asset, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan has made a bold prediction for Bitcoin-based investment products.

On October 6th, Hougan expressed confidence in the sustained institutional demand for Bitcoin, suggesting that the total assets under management (AUM) held by Bitcoin funds worldwide could eventually surge to $1 trillion.

HOT Stories

Bitcoin funds achieve $200 Billion milestoneWhile Hougan’s prediction has sparked widespread discussion across the crypto community, it follows a major development: global Bitcoin funds have surpassed $200 billion in total assets under management.

The milestone, shared by the Bitwise Managing Director, highlights the accelerating demand for Bitcoin among institutional investors.

In less than two years since their launch, global Bitcoin AUMs have more than quadrupled since early 2024. During this period, Bitcoin has recorded a remarkable price growth of over 100% in the past year, gaining significant traction among both retail and institutional investors.

The rapid increase in Bitcoin fund AUM is largely driven by record spot BTC ETF inflows, renewed market optimism, and the growing adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.

Bitcoin hits new ATH at $125,388On Sunday, October 5th, Bitcoin reached a record-breaking high of $125,388, as the broader crypto market experienced a sharp resurgence amid the strong “Uptober” rally.

The milestone has reignited interest among skeptics while further boosting investor confidence. However, analysts have warned of a possible short-term price correction, which could temporarily slow momentum.

Still, many market watchers believe Bitcoin could maintain its uptrend and set new highs if it manages to hold above the $124,000 level on the weekly chart.

With this new ATH achieved at the very start of the “Uptober” bull run, several analysts are predicting the possibility of Bitcoin reaching $150,000 before the end of the year.

Key takeaways:

Paul Tudor Jones expects massive upside from US markets, but notes that widespread retail and institutional participation is required for a market peak.

US stock market valuations and economic conditions don’t point to an immediate downturn, supporting the thesis of continued speculative momentum.

Billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones firmly believes that US financial markets are far from a bubble and points to the US government’s growing fiscal crisis as a catalyst for risk-on assets, including Bitcoin (BTC). Tudor’s main thesis relies on loose monetary policies, retail flows and speculation.

US fiscal debt issue favors allocation in risk-on assets, including BitcoinIn July, US President Donald Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which extended tax cuts and raised the debt ceiling, creating a $2.1 trillion deficit impact by 2029, according to The Congressional Budget Office. 

US government debt, USD (left, red) vs. Bitcoin/USD (blue). Source: TradingView / CointelegraphThe interest in the US debt is projected to exceed $1 trillion in 12 months for the first time in history, causing analysts to expect a 127% debt-to-GDP ratio for 2026. Such fiscal stress raises doubts about confidence in the US's ability to repay its debt as investors worry that the government will need to inflate, or otherwise devalue the currency. 

Those concerns intensify as 33% of US Treasurys are held by foreign entities. Injecting liquidity and suppressing real yields tend to drive those holders to seek better return opportunities elsewhere, putting downward pressure on demand for Treasurys and on the dollar itself.

Yields on 10-year Treasury (left) vs. US Dollar Index (DXY, right). Source: TradingView / CointelegraphTudor Jones draws similarities with the 1999 period, which marked Nasdaq’s 90% gains in five months that culminated with the “dot-com crash” in 2000. But this time around, conditions are far more favorable. For starters, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) raised interest rates during 1999, initiating the year at 4.75% and entering 2000 at 5.5%, the opposite of what the market expects for the upcoming months.

Another difference comes from a tightening policy that prevailed throughout 1999. The Fed balance sheet contracted to $5.38 trillion by early 2000 from $8.66 trillion the year prior. Today, the script is reversed: the Fed is unlikely to shrink its balance sheet for the next 12 months, especially with signs of softening in the labor market, offering speculative momentum and an extended runway.

US Federal Reserve total assets, USD. Source: TradingView / CointelegraphTudor Jones says a speculative frenzy is distant, expects more gainsTudor expects a “massive rally,” “much more potentially explosive than 1999,” but argues that markets are presently far from a “speculative frenzy.” Tudor added that “it will take more retail buying” and “real money” before a “blow off” top. Tudor Jones is not predicting an immediate downturn, and stock market valuation metrics support this thesis.

S&P 500 forward price-to-earnings ratio. Source: Yardeni ResearchAccording to Yardeni Research data, the S&P 500 forward price-to-earnings multiple sits near 23 times, well below the 25 times peak seen in 2000, implying there is still room for multiple expansion under favorable sentiment. 

Tudor expects “speculative exhaustion” to eventually set in, not an abrupt collapse typically associated with bubble bursts. Tudor Jones recommends allocations tilted toward growth stocks, gold, and Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and fiscal stress. 

Bitcoin’s $2.5 trillion market capitalization remains modest relative to gold’s $26 trillion and the S&P 500 at $57 trillion. Thus, even if Bitcoin absorbs less than 3% of the $7.37 trillion sitting in the money market, a $200 billion inflow could meaningfully move the price direction.

The Bitcoin price has shattered previous records by surging past $126,000, marking a new all-time high this Monday. This milestone has been attributed to the cyclical phenomenon known as “Uptober,” a term coined by analysts to describe October’s historical trend of strong price performance during Halving years.

Bitcoin Price Surge Linked To ‘Safe-Haven Demand’
The rise in Bitcoin and broader crypto prices coincided with the US government shutdown that commenced on October 1. This has fueled greater demand for assets perceived as safe havens, as investors seek stability amidst growing political uncertainty in the United States. 

Further contributing to the Bitcoin price surge, recent data from Bloomberg highlights that investors have injected approximately $3.2 billion into a group of 12 US Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the past week alone. 

Yet, analysts assert that the Bitcoin options market is increasingly influencing the cryptocurrency’s price movements, reflecting a potential shift in market behavior toward the leading cryptocurrency.

Could $150,000 Be Next?
Rachael Lucas, an analyst at BTC Markets, notes that option traders are eyeing resistance levels at $135,000, with the possibility of reaching $150,000 if current momentum continues. 

The options market currently displays a bullish sentiment, with over 60% of open interest concentrated in call options, signaling strong investor confidence. However, Lucas also raised concerns about the potential for liquidation cascades should momentum falter.

According to Bloomberg’s analysis, the Bitcoin price has averaged gains of approximately 22.5% over the past decade during Uptober rallies. If BTC follows similar patterns, it could reach a new high of $146,000 by the end of the month.

In the 100mg tablet cohort, Phase 3 dose and formulation, casdatifan showed a 35% confirmed overall response rate (ORR), with two additional responses pending confirmation, and median progression-free survival (mPFS) had not been reached, even with a median follow-up of one year.

Pooled data for the 121 patients treated with casdatifan monotherapy, casdatifan showed a confirmed ORR of 31% and a median PFS of 12.2 months, which is meaningfully longer than published data from studies with the only marketed HIF-2a inhibitor and for TKIs alone in a similar patient population and setting, the company said on Monday.

At the time of data cut-off (Aug. 15, 2025), most patients (81%) had experienced disease control, with either a partial response or stable disease. Seventy-four percent (28 of the 38) of confirmed responders across all four cohorts remained on treatment.

No unexpected safety signals were observed, and casdatifan had an acceptable and manageable safety profile across all doses.

Across all four cohorts, one patient discontinued treatment due to anemia, and four (3%) discontinued due to hypoxia. Summaries of the efficacy and safety data are below.

Expansion into Immunology and Inflammation (I&I): Potential new drug candidates include:

MRGPRX2 small-molecule inhibitor, a potential treatment for atopic dermatitis and chronic spontaneous urticaria.
TNF-a (TNFR1) small-molecule inhibitor, a potential treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease (such as ulcerative colitis).
CCR6 small-molecule inhibitor, a potential treatment for psoriasis
CD89 monoclonal antibody, a potential treatment for RA.
CD40L small-molecule inhibitor, a potential treatment for multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
RCUS Price Action: Arcus Biosciences shares were up 7.87% at $14.40 at the time of publication on Monday. The stock is trading within its 52-week range of $6.50 to $18.98, according to Benzinga Pro data.

NEW YORK, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

What’s Happening:

Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Savara Inc. (“Savara” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:SVRA) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Savara securities between March 7, 2024 and May 23, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Investors have until November 7, 2025 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.
Allegation Details:

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (i) the MOLBREEVI Biologics License Application ("BLA") lacked sufficient information regarding MOLBREEVI's chemistry, manufacturing, and/or controls; (ii) accordingly, the FDA was unlikely to approve the MOLBREEVI BLA in its current form; (iii) the foregoing made it unlikely that Savara would complete its submission of the MOLBREEVI BLA within the timeframe it had represented to investors; and (iv) the delay in MOLBREEVI's regulatory approval increased the likelihood that the Company would need to raise additional capital.Plaintiff alleges that on May 27, 2025, Savara issued a press release "announc[ing] that the Company received [a refusal to file ("RTF")] letter from the FDA for the [MOLBREEVI BLA] as a therapy to treat patients with [aPap]." Specifically, Savara revealed that "[u]pon preliminary review, the FDA determined that the [MOLBREEVI BLA] was not sufficiently complete to permit substantive review and requested additional data related to Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC)." On this news, Savara's stock price fell $0.90 per share, or 31.69%, to close at $1.94 per share on May 27, 2025.
Next Steps:

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Savara shares and suffered a loss, are a long-term stockholder, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Brandon Walker or Marion Passmore by email at [email protected], telephone at (212) 355-4648, or by filling out this contact form.
