Wall Street Breakfast Podcast: Black Friday: Big Crowds, Bigger Stakes stocknewsapi

Record number of shoppers expected to turn out during Thanksgiving weekend -- NRF. SA Asks: How will retailers fare this holiday season? Happy returns for holiday shopping season?

This is an abridged transcript.

Black Friday arrives earlier and earlier each year even though the day is always the Friday after Thanksgiving.

You probably noticed hints of red in store decorations back in August not to mention Christmas in July.

And then there was a special sale from your A to Z online retailer and its competitors in early October, where consumers spent a total of $9.1 billion online, driven in part by competitive discounts that peaked at 18% off the listed price.

With that in mind, some analysts have warned that holiday sales may have been pulled forward into October from the traditional Black Friday to Cyber Monday buying window happening this weekend.

But according to the National Retail Federation’s latest survey, about 186.9 million people are expected to shop from Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday — a new record and about 3 million more than last year.

Black Friday is still the biggest shopping day of the year, with about 70% of people surveyed — roughly 130.4 million shoppers — planning to head out the day after Thanksgiving. Cyber Monday comes next at 40%. Small Business Saturday is also expected to be busy, with 36% saying they’ll shop that day, mostly because they want to support local businesses.

I spoke to Jack Bowman of Bowman Capital Management on Seeking Alpha about which retailers have the advantage as the big shopping season kicks into high gear.

“Costco and Walmart are my two big winners for this because I see the club value, right Walmart owns Sam's Club.”

And of course there’s a reason for this.

“Being able to offer prices that people consider low when they get there. No matter what the price is.”

But, as a retailer, what if that’s just not your thing?

“And so retailers who don’t have this brand presence of, “we offer low prices”, if that’s not your brand, then you need to be on the luxury end.”

Jack mentioned Costco (COST) and Walmart (WMT) so let’s pause here and see how they’re doing using the handy research tools on Seeking Alpha.

When I look at the chart for Costco (COST). It’s down 2.5% YTD with a Seeking Alpha quant rating of HOLD. Growth and valuation get an F-grade but profitability is an A+.

And Walmart (WMT)? A lot cheaper than Costco (COST) at $106 versus just shy of $900.

But this is where they’re somewhat on a level playing field. WMT has a Seeking Alpha quant rating of HOLD. Valuation gets an F-grade, Growth a C and Profitability an A+. YTD Walmart is up nearly 18%.

And there’s a word of caution to those direct-to-consumer brands.

“If you only sell online, then you’re price checkable to Amazon.”

Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of how much they’re spending and a marketplace like Amazon allows them to price check different items on the platform against what they’re seeing in other places.

“So, Tractor Supply Co and Chewy and all these brands that have made a market on sending stuff directly to consumers and avoiding some of these marketplaces, they're getting priced out of it because of the price checking capabilities of the consumer who is more conscience today about their spending than they were a year ago, two years ago.”

What about luxury?

“So, like Louis Vuitton is also doing well because everybody knows that it’s going to be expensive when they show up.”

LVMH offers wine and spirit products. There’s also fashion and leather products like Celine. Not to mention beauty and cosmetics like Rihanna’s Fenty. The list goes on and on.

LVMH gets a HOLD rating from Seeking Alpha. Valuation and growth are a D-, profitability an A+. YTD it’s up nearly 10%.

But, why are they doing so well?

“It’s interesting because I'm seeing this divergence. So, the majority of consumers have been reporting that they’re pulling back on purchases but the consumption index isn’t changing. What we’re seeing is, the high end consumer, the top 10 percent of earners, they contribute 50% of consumption. This is why I'm not bearish on brands like Louis Vuitton, LVMH because they have a market that is still spending.”

One of the narratives we’ve heard about since the start of the year…you probably already know what I'm gonna say….the t-word….tariffs. It’s been a hot topic on this show as well as its daily meal counterparts brunch and lunch.

But is it really playing out the way everyone thought it would?

Well not necessarily.

“I think the perception of the tariffs impacting prices is dangerous for sentiment and potentially dangerous for retailers because of that drop in sentiment. But, when you look at the actual pricing on shelves it hasn’t materially changed yet.”

Jack says the name of the game right now for retailers is inventory management.

“We saw a huge amount of inventory being purchased and imported last year and this actually was so large that it led to a negative GDP read for Q1.”

As we mentioned earlier, retailers have to hit the right number to get you to buy all that inventory.

“And this is the time for them to move it and the market is going to expect that. So if we don’t see a seasonally adjusted increase in sales for some of these retailers like Target, Walmart, Costco we could see a market correction in staples and in discretionary from just a lack of that earnings growth that is expected and necessary to move the inventory they stockpiled.”

The NRF forecast that total holiday spending during November and December was expected to surpass $1T for the first time, with sales predicted to grow between 3.7 and 4.2% over 2024.

Retail stocks haven’t had a great year overall. Both the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors have flatlined this year, trailing the broader market thanks to tough economic conditions, squeezed household budgets, and investors shifting their attention to fast-growing areas like AI.

Still, a few retailers have managed to shine. Discount chains such as Dollar General (DG) and Dollar Tree (DLTR) are up more than 30% this year. Well-known staples like Coca-Cola (KO) are also doing well, gaining around 16%.

On the discretionary side, several brands have posted surprisingly strong returns. Tapestry (TPR), Ralph Lauren (RL), and Hasbro (HAS) have all racked up impressive year-to-date gains, ranging from about 40 to 60%.

The market closes at 1pm on this Black Friday.

New Found Gold Engages Project Finance Advisor for the Queensway Gold Project stocknewsapi
NFGC
November 28, 2025 6:58 AM EST | Source: New Found Gold Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 28, 2025) - New Found Gold Corp. (TSXV: NFG) (NYSE American: NFGC) ("New Found Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has engaged Cutfield Freeman & Co. Ltd. ("CF&Co"), an independent global mining finance advisory firm, to act as its project finance advisor.

CF&Co will advise New Found Gold management on developing and implementing project finance strategies for the Queensway Gold Project ("Queensway"), located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. As part of its mandate, CF&Co will assist in evaluating financing alternatives that may be available, act as point of contact with a variety of financiers and debt instrument providers, manage the due diligence process with short-listed financiers and advise management and the Company's board of directors on the final selection of financing alternatives.

Keith Boyle, CEO commented, "I am pleased to announce that we are working with CF&Co, a leading global mining finance firm with expertise in selecting optimal financing packages for the development and construction of mining projects. As indicated in Queensway's 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment, the Company will be evaluating financing options for the $155 million initial capital expenditure required to fund Phase 1 production, currently targeted for H2/27."

About New Found Gold Corp.

In July 2025, the Company completed a PEA at Queensway (see New Found Gold press release dated July 21, 2025). Recent drilling continues to yield new discoveries along strike and down dip of known gold zones, pointing to the district-scale potential that covers a +110 km strike extent along two prospective fault zones at Queensway.

Ranking the Best "Magnificent Seven" Stocks to Buy for 2026. Here's My No. stocknewsapi
GOOG GOOGL
The market is now convinced that Alphabet is a leader in artificial intelligence (AI).

In a matter of months, Alphabet (GOOG 0.96%) (GOOGL 1.01%) went from one of the worst-performing "Magnificent Seven" stocks to the best-performing year to date, even better than Nvidia. The tech giant's stock price has now more than doubled from its 52-week low and surpassed Microsoft to take the final podium spot alongside Apple and Nvidia as the three most valuable companies in the world.

Welcome to part four in a series of articles where I rank the best Magnificent Seven stocks to buy for 2026. Tesla was the seventh selection, with Apple coming in at No. 6, below Amazon in the fifth position. Here's why Alphabet is ahead of these names but behind Nvidia, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms.

Image source: Alphabet.

From out of favor to a Wall Street darling
Less than six months ago, Alphabet wasn't just cheaper than its big tech peers -- it was also the only Magnificent Seven stock that was less expensive than the S&P 500.

Alphabet's meteoric run-up showcases the importance of narratives in the stock market. Alphabet's business hasn't fundamentally changed, but sentiment has. Earlier this year, there was widespread doubt that Alphabet would be a leader in artificial intelligence (AI). The biggest threat is that Google Search, which accounts for the majority of Alphabet's earnings, may lose market share to other information resources, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT.

Alphabet has largely alleviated those fears through the rapid adoption of Gemini, both through the Gemini app and by embedding Gemini into Google Search via AI overviews and summary tools. On Nov. 18, Alphabet launched Gemini 3, the most powerful version of its AI chatbot yet. The stock jumped 5.4% between Nov. 19 and Nov. 21 compared to a 0.2% drop in the S&P 500.

For over two decades, Google Search has been the dominant search engine. So it's natural for investors to have overestimated Google Search's decline due to AI. After all, Netflix was an existential threat to Blockbuster, just as the iPhone was to BlackBerry. But this isn't the case with Alphabet. In fact, Alphabet is exceptionally well-positioned to be a net beneficiary of AI. This is now reflected in its all-time high stock price.

In addition to Google Search, Alphabet owns YouTube, Google Cloud, and services like Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos. Alphabet's "other bets" division includes self-driving platform Waymo, Google Fiber, and more. Alphabet is a leader in quantum computing through Google Quantum AI, which introduced the highly advanced Willow processor in December 2024.

Alphabet has multiple levers to pull to monetize AI. It is diversified, but not overly diversified to the point where there's inefficiency and a lack of innovation. In fact, Alphabet's growth and margins have been accelerating. And it remains a cash cow -- paying its first-ever dividend last year and now regularly scheduled quarterly dividends, as well as consistently repurchasing more than enough stock to offset stock-based compensation and avoid net share dilution.

Alphabet is a solid pick for 2026
Alphabet is a strong buy for 2026. And the only reason it's not higher on my list is that the valuation isn't as dirt cheap as it used to be, although it's still reasonable at 28.5 times forward earnings estimates. And because I have even more conviction in Nvidia, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft.

Find out how these remaining three companies stack up in my upcoming rankings.

Daniel Foelber has positions in Nvidia. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Netflix, Nvidia, and Tesla. The Motley Fool recommends BlackBerry and recommends the following options: long January 2026 $395 calls on Microsoft and short January 2026 $405 calls on Microsoft.

At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +23.93% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through October 6, 2025. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.

Nordic American Tankers Ltd (NYSE: NAT) – Report as per September 30, 2025 – Increased dividend and solid prospects stocknewsapi
NAT
Friday, November 28, 2025

Dear Shareholders and Investors,

The direction of NAT is on the upswing. Safety for crew, safety for ships and dividends remain our main priorities. The so-called grey/black fleet is invalidated, reducing the available fleet in the market place and improving the position of NAT. Our ships have not carried Russian oil for more than four years.

Major oil companies are the main customers of NAT. 

Ninety day periods offer a short-term snapshot of NAT. A more meaningful analysis must contain a longer-term picture.

Highlights: 

The dividend for the third quarter is 13 cents ($0.13) per share. This is our 113th consecutive quarterly cash dividend. The dividend is payable December 22, 2025, to shareholders on record as of December 8, 2025. The strong demand for oil continues. During a slow third quarter rates held up well compared to the second quarter. The fourth quarter is starting out well, leaving solid room for cash accumulation.    We have entered into a preliminary agreement with a South Korean shipyard to construct two new Suezmax tankers for delivery in the second half of 2028. We expect to sign a firm contract early in 2026. The NAT fleet currently consist of 20 well maintained Suezmax tankers.  The average time charter equivalent (TCE) for the NAT fleet for the third quarter of 2025 came in at $27,490 per day per ship. Operating costs are $9,000/day/ship. The adjusted EBITDA for 3Q 2025 was $21.4 million. We recorded a net book loss of -$2.8 million for 3Q 2025. Our cash position at the day of this report is above $70 million.  The top quality of the NAT vessels is reflected in the vetting performance (the score card) undertaken by the major oil companies. Thanks to careful voyage planning and adjustment of speed of our ships, we reduce emissions.  Sincerely,

Herbjorn Hansson
Founder, Chairman & CEO

Nordic American Tankers Ltd.                                                           www.nat.bm

The Ultimate Growth Stock to Buy With $1,000 Right Now stocknewsapi
AMZN
Amazon looks like a smart stock to scoop up at current levels.

Growth stocks have been leading the market higher for more than a decade, and there is no reason to think that dynamic won't continue over the long term.

The ultimate growth stock to buy right now is Amazon (AMZN 0.17%), which has solid growth opportunities and is trading at an attractive valuation. You can start with a smaller amount, like $1,000, and look to add more on any market dip.

An e-commerce leader
The market leader in e-commerce, Amazon does not get nearly the credit it deserves for what the company has being doing behind the scenes to improve its business and set it up for future growth.

The company's e-commerce business is a solid revenue grower, but the real story is the operating leverage that Amazon is seeing in this business. Amazon became the dominant player in e-commerce by building out a huge network of fulfillment centers and creating one of the top logistics networks in the world. Today, it has turned to artificial intelligence (AI) and robots to drive even more efficiency.

The company has deployed more than 1 million robots at its facilities, all of which are coordinated by its DeepFleet AI model. This helps the robots run like well-oiled machines, and many can do more than just lift boxes. For example, some can detect damage before an item is shipped, which helps save on costly returns.

At the same time, Amazon is also using AI to help improve productivity and save costs. Examples of this include using AI to optimize drivers' routes, helping drivers find hard-to-locate drop-off locations in places like large apartment complexes, and even helping the company determine which warehouses to store items so they are closer to final destinations.

On top of this, Amazon has also been using AI to help drive growth at its high-gross-margin sponsored ad business. AI is helping advertisers improve ad campaigns and better target potential customers, which helped Amazon's ad revenue climb 24% to $17.7 billion last quarter.

All of this is creating strong operating leverage, which was seen in its third quarter results. Last quarter, Amazon's North American segment saw its adjusted operating income soar 28% to $7.3 billion on just an 11% increase in revenue to $106.3 billion. While strong revenue growth is sexy, don't underestimate the importance of profitability growth and how Amazon is driving it.

A cloud computing leader
While Amazon is best known for its e-commerce operations, the company's largest segment by profitability is Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon created the cloud computing industry, and it remains the market share leader today.

Given the unit's size, AWS has not grown as quickly as rivals Microsoft's Azure or Alphabet's Google Cloud, but it is starting to see revenue growth accelerate. In Q3, AWS revenue climbed 20%, which was up from 17.5% growth in Q2 and 17% growth in Q1. However, the company upped its capital expenditure (capex) budget and growth for the segment could just be starting to rev up.

The company just opened up one of the world's largest AI clusters in Project Rainier, which was built exclusively for Anthropic and uses Amazon's custom Trainium 2 AI chips. It also recently signed a seven-year, $38 billion deal with OpenAI to provide it with Amazon EC2 UltraServers that run on Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs). In addition, Amazon just announced it will spend $50 billion building out 1.3 gigawatts of data center capacity to support the U.S. government agencies.

Amazon has a strong cloud offering, giving customers access to a variety of foundational models (both its own and third parties') through its Bedrock solution, while users can also train or customize their own models with its SageMaker platform. Amazon has also moved into AI agents, letting customers create AI agents with Strands (an open-source platform), and then they can deploy and operate these AI agents through its AgentCore platform. This should position the company well for the future.

Between its potential cloud computing growth opportunities and the leverage it is seeing in its e-commerce business, Amazon is a stock to own for the long term. The stock also isn't pricey, trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 29 times 2026 analyst estimates, which is well below traditional retailers like Costco, which has a 40 times forward P/E, and Walmart, which has a 36 times forward P/E based on next year's analyst estimates.

Geoffrey Seiler has positions in Alphabet and Amazon. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Alphabet, Amazon, Costco Wholesale, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Walmart. The Motley Fool recommends the following options: long January 2026 $395 calls on Microsoft and short January 2026 $405 calls on Microsoft. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

What Every Firefly Aerospace Investor Should Know Before Buying stocknewsapi
FLY
The best investors are well-informed investors.

Since flying onto the scene with an initial public offering (IPO) over the summer, Firefly Aerospace (FLY +0.52%) has captured the interest of investors looking for the next great space stock opportunity.

But for those interested in reaching for the stars with Firefly stock, it's important to shine a light on the company and get to know it a little better.

Image source: Getty Images.

Firefly is shooting for the moon -- and succeeding
While the company's name summons images of glowing bugs filling summer nights here on Earth, Firefly's business focuses on lunar operations. In its third quarter 2025 10-Q, for example, Firefly states its expectation that its Blue Ghost lander will "fly annual missions to the Moon, with payload services customized to the technology and exploration goals of our customers."

Today's Change

(

0.52

0.09

Current Price

$

17.43

Illustrating the company's success in generating revenue from its lunar operations, Firefly received a $177 million award from NASA in July to deliver five payloads to the Moon's south pole in 2029 under the space agency's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) contract. According to management, this award significantly contributed to the company's increase in backlog to $1.3 billion, up from $1.1 billion at the end of 2024.

It's not only NASA that sees Firefly as a partner for missions to the moon. The company reported in Q3 2025 that a commercial customer selected it for a separate mission requiring the company's Blue Ghost lunar lander.

Going for the gold
Expanding its scope beyond the moon, Firefly is positioning itself to develop into a defense contractor. Earlier this month, Firefly completed the acquisition of SciTec for $855 million -- an acquisition that Firefly believes will make it a more attractive option for the Pentagon's $175 billion missile defense project: Golden Dome.

Prior to the acquisition, SciTec had already proved its mettle as a partner for the U.S. government. The U.S. Space Force awarded a $259 million contract to enhance the military branch's missile warning and tracking capability.

In addition to SciTec, Firefly's interest in pursuing defense opportunities is demonstrated by the company's current partnership with Kratos Defense and Security to develop hypersonic capabilities for national defense.

Should investors light up their portfolios with Firefly stock?
For those focused on the final frontier, Firefly stock is undeniably a worthy consideration. It's critical, however, that investors recognize that a Firefly investment requires investors to be comfortable with the likelihood of enduring volatility. As a growth company that hasn't achieved profitability yet, Firefly has a higher risk profile, and setbacks such as the one it encountered in September can drive the market to punish the stock.

Insights From AnalystsScott Wren, Senior Global Market Strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, advises investors to look beyond the alarmist headlines regarding record U.S. consumer debt levels.

While acknowledging that total consumer debt has reached $18.6 trillion, Wren argues that it is crucial to “look under the hood” rather than viewing these absolute numbers in a vacuum.

He points out that the ratio of household debt to disposable income is currently just below 90%, which is near a 25-year low and significantly healthier than the 135% seen just before the Great Financial Crisis.

However, Wren describes the current consumer landscape as “bifurcated.” While high-wage earners continue to spend, lower-income consumers are struggling because their wages have not kept pace with inflation.

Consequently, his team maintains an unfavorable rating on the Consumer Discretionary sector. Despite these mixed signals, his long-term outlook remains optimistic.

Wren projects the economy will be “improving as we move through 2026,” driven by major catalysts such as “Artificial-intelligence (AI) related capital expenditures and deregulation,” along with a boost in spending from tax refunds next spring.

8 Dividend Stocks Every Investor Should Consider stocknewsapi
ABBV AXP COST JPM NVDA PFE PM SPGI
From high-yield pharma plays to growth-oriented compounders, these eight stocks offer something for every dividend investor.

High-yield stocks receive all the attention, but the best dividend portfolios strike a balance between current income and long-term compounding. These eight stocks span multiple sectors and investment styles, from low-yield growth machines to high-yield income generators.

Each stock offers a different reason to own it -- and together, they form the foundation of a diversified dividend strategy. Read on to find out more about these eight incredible dividend stocks.

Image source: Getty Images.

1. The premium payments network
American Express (AXP +0.44%) operates a closed-loop payments network, connecting cardholders directly to merchants without the involvement of third-party processors. The stock yields just 0.87% with a 16% payout ratio, leaving enormous room for dividend growth. The company's affluent customer base and premium brand create pricing power that few financial services companies can match.

2. America's largest bank
JPMorgan Chase (JPM +1.53%) is the largest U.S. bank by assets, offering a range of services that include investment banking, commercial banking, asset management, and consumer financial services. With a 2% yield and 28% payout ratio, JPMorgan balances current income with capital appreciation. The bank's scale and diversification make it a cornerstone holding for dividend investors seeking exposure to the financial sector.

3. The membership moat
Costco (COST +1.56%) operates warehouse clubs that generate most of their profit from membership fees rather than product markups. The 0.5% yield may seem tiny, but the 27% payout ratio and history of massive special dividends -- $15 per share in 2023 and $10 in 2020 -- make this low-yield stock a major shareholder return play. Costco's fanatically loyal membership base has funded 20-plus consecutive years of regular dividend increases.

4. The data monopoly
S&P Global (SPGI +0.29%) provides credit ratings, benchmarks, and analytics that financial markets can't function without. The stock yields 0.8% with a 28% payout ratio -- and has raised its dividend for 52 consecutive years. That track record reflects a business model built on recurring revenue and near-monopolistic market share alongside Moody's.

5. The biotech income machine
AbbVie (ABBV 1.79%) develops and markets biopharmaceuticals, including immunology blockbusters Humira, Skyrizi, and Rinvoq. The 3% yield and 53 consecutive years of dividend increases -- a streak inherited from parent company Abbott Laboratories -- make it a rare half-century streak in the healthcare sector. AbbVie's pipeline depth and Botox acquisition provide multiple growth drivers beyond its legacy immunology franchise.

6. The high-yield pharma giant
Pfizer (PFE 0.04%) is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, selling vaccines, oncology treatments, and cardiovascular drugs globally. The 6.7% yield is among the highest of any blue chip stock, though the payout ratio is currently near 98% -- meaning the dividend is fully exposed to earnings volatility. For income-focused investors willing to accept that risk in exchange for substantial current yield at a depressed valuation, Pfizer fits the bill.

7. The smoke-free pivot
Philip Morris International (PM 0.58%) sells cigarettes and smoke-free products like IQOS heated tobacco and ZYN nicotine pouches outside the United States. The 3.8% yield comes with a payout ratio of nearly 78%, which is typical for tobacco companies that usually return most of their earnings to shareholders. Philip Morris's aggressive push into smoke-free products differentiates it from domestic peers and provides a growth angle that pure tobacco lacks.

5. The dividend growth machine
Nvidia (NVDA +1.37%) designs GPUs and artificial intelligence (AI) accelerators that power data centers, gaming, and autonomous vehicles worldwide. The 0.02% yield may seem laughable, but the 1% payout ratio and substantial free cash flow -- with quarterly revenue now exceeding $35 billion -- suggest the dividend can grow substantially for decades. This makes Nvidia a stealth dividend compounder, hidden within a growth stock, with essentially unlimited capacity for future hikes.

INDA
In a quarter partially affected by the 50% U.S. tariffs, the Indian economy grew faster than expected at an annual rate of 8.2% in the quarter ending in September.

The growth was an acceleration from 7.8% in the previous quarter, when a lower deflator unexpectedly boosted real growth. A deflator measures how inflation affects the value of total output.

A Reuters poll of economists had pegged the July-September gross domestic product at 7.3%.

Pal Ahlsen

Good morning. As Christoffer said, the short introduction to the new strategy, which we have called Back to Basics, and then we'll open up for questions.

Back to Basics, I would say, refers to going back to the core of how to manage real estate. And as most of you know, we are a commercial real estate company, and we are predominantly owning properties in Sweden. Roughly 92% of our assets are located in Sweden. And it's in Sweden, we have our sort of the DNA arises from owning commercial real estate in Sweden.

I think that will remain that way going forward. This does not exclude that we could both increase and decrease in other geographics that we already have, Finland and Denmark and through Entra in Norway. But in the foreseeable future, one should

TON Price Prediction: Toncoin Eyes $2.28 Recovery Target Within 30 Days as Technical Indicators Signal Bullish Reversal cryptonews

TON price prediction points to $2.28 medium-term target as oversold conditions and bullish MACD momentum suggest potential 38% rally from current $1.65 levels.

TON Price Prediction: Toncoin Eyes $2.28 Recovery Target Within 30 Days
Toncoin (TON) appears positioned for a potential recovery rally as technical indicators begin showing signs of bullish momentum from oversold territory. Our comprehensive TON price prediction analysis suggests the cryptocurrency could target $2.28 within the next 30 days, representing a significant upside opportunity from current levels.

TON Price Prediction Summary
• TON short-term target (1 week): $1.95 (+18.2%)
• Toncoin medium-term forecast (1 month): $2.05-$2.28 range (+24-38%)
• Key level to break for bullish continuation: $1.95 resistance
• Critical support if bearish: $1.45 support zone

Recent Toncoin Price Predictions from Analysts
Recent analyst predictions show a growing consensus around Toncoin's recovery potential. CoinCodex's AI-driven model projects a TON price prediction of $2.03 by December 2, representing a 28.30% increase from current levels. This aligns closely with Blockchain.News forecasts, which present a Toncoin forecast range of $2.05-$2.28 within 30 days.

The convergence of these predictions around the $2.00-$2.28 range provides moderate confidence in the upside scenario. Notably, all recent forecasts emphasize the importance of holding the $1.65 support level, which TON is currently testing. The unanimous view that Toncoin remains oversold supports the bullish reversal thesis underlying these TON price prediction models.

TON Technical Analysis: Setting Up for Recovery
The Toncoin technical analysis reveals several compelling factors supporting a potential price recovery. With RSI at 38.35, TON sits in neutral territory but closer to oversold conditions, suggesting selling pressure may be exhausting. More encouraging is the MACD histogram reading of 0.0104, indicating bullish momentum is beginning to emerge despite the negative MACD line position.

TON's current price of $1.65 places it near the lower Bollinger Band region at $1.35, with a %B position of 0.36 suggesting the asset is approaching oversold extremes. The cryptocurrency trades below all major moving averages, but the proximity to the 7-day SMA at $1.57 indicates potential for a short-term bounce.

Volume analysis shows $8.1 million in 24-hour Binance spot trading, which remains modest but sufficient to support a technical recovery if buying interest emerges. The daily ATR of $0.12 suggests normal volatility levels, providing room for meaningful price movements in either direction.

Toncoin Price Targets: Bull and Bear Scenarios
Bullish Case for TON
Our primary TON price target focuses on the $2.28 level, which represents the convergence of multiple technical factors. Breaking above immediate resistance at $1.95 would signal the beginning of a recovery phase, opening the path toward the 20-day SMA at $1.76 as an initial milestone.

The bullish Toncoin forecast extends to $2.50-$2.70 in a more optimistic scenario, aligning with analyst projections from Blockchain.News. This would require TON to reclaim the middle Bollinger Band at $1.76 and sustain momentum through the upper band at $2.17. Success in reaching these levels would represent a 51-64% rally from current prices.

For the bullish case to materialize, TON needs to demonstrate strength above $1.70 and generate follow-through buying above the $1.95 resistance zone. A daily close above the 20-day SMA would provide additional confirmation of trend reversal.

Bearish Risk for Toncoin
The bearish scenario centers on a break below the critical $1.45 support level, which would invalidate current TON price prediction models. A sustained move below this level could trigger further selling toward the 52-week low area near $1.47, with ultimate downside risk extending to $0.55 strong support.

Risk factors include the significant distance from major moving averages, particularly the 200-day SMA at $2.82, indicating the broader trend remains bearish. Additionally, TON's 59.94% decline from its 52-week high of $4.11 reflects substantial technical damage that requires time and volume to repair.

Should You Buy TON Now? Entry Strategy
Based on current Toncoin technical analysis, a strategic entry approach appears warranted rather than aggressive buying. Consider initial positions near $1.60-$1.65 with tight stop-losses below $1.45 to limit downside risk.

For those asking "buy or sell TON," the technical setup suggests a cautious buy stance for risk-tolerant traders. However, position sizing should remain conservative given the proximity to critical support levels. A staged entry strategy works best: deploy 50% of intended position size immediately, with the remainder added on strength above $1.75.

Stop-loss placement below $1.45 provides approximately 12% risk from current levels, while the TON price target of $2.28 offers 38% upside potential, creating a favorable 3:1 reward-to-risk ratio.

TON Price Prediction Conclusion
Our TON price prediction points to $2.28 as the primary medium-term target, with moderate confidence based on oversold technical conditions and emerging bullish momentum signals. The Toncoin forecast timeline extends 30 days for this price objective, contingent on maintaining support above $1.45.

Key indicators to monitor include RSI movement above 45 for momentum confirmation, MACD line crossing above the signal line, and most importantly, a decisive break above $1.95 resistance. Volume expansion above 10 million daily would provide additional confirmation of the bullish scenario.

The current technical setup offers an asymmetric opportunity for patient traders, but success depends entirely on TON's ability to hold current support levels and generate follow-through buying interest in the coming sessions.

FLOKI Price Prediction: Targeting $0.000280-$0.000320 Recovery Within 30 Days cryptonews
FLOKI
Zach Anderson
Nov 28, 2025 09:53

FLOKI price prediction suggests 40-60% upside potential to $0.000280-$0.000320 range as oversold RSI and emerging bullish MACD momentum signal recovery ahead.

The current FLOKI price prediction landscape presents a compelling technical setup as the meme coin trades in oversold territory with emerging bullish momentum indicators. With RSI at 39.70 and MACD histogram showing bullish divergence, analysts are positioning for a significant recovery in the coming weeks.

FLOKI Price Prediction Summary
• FLOKI short-term target (1 week): $0.000220-$0.000240 (+10-20%)
• Floki medium-term forecast (1 month): $0.000280-$0.000320 range (+40-60%)
• Key level to break for bullish continuation: $0.000240
• Critical support if bearish: $0.000150

Recent Floki Price Predictions from Analysts
The latest FLOKI price prediction from multiple sources reveals a growing consensus around medium-term bullish potential. Blockchain.News leads with the most optimistic Floki forecast, targeting $0.000280-$0.000320 within 30 days based on oversold RSI conditions at 39.14 and emerging MACD momentum.

Changelly's technical analysis supports this bullish outlook with a long-term FLOKI price target of $0.000161-$0.000173 by year-end 2025, though this appears conservative compared to other forecasts. Meanwhile, AI-driven models from CoinLore and Bitget present more cautious short-term predictions around $0.000049, suggesting algorithmic models may be underestimating the technical bounce potential.

The contrarian view comes from purely algorithmic predictions that focus on recent price patterns rather than oversold technical conditions, creating an interesting divergence between human technical analysis and AI-driven forecasting models.

FLOKI Technical Analysis: Setting Up for Bullish Reversal
The current Floki technical analysis reveals a textbook oversold setup with multiple indicators aligning for a potential reversal. The RSI reading of 39.70 positions FLOKI firmly in neutral-to-oversold territory, historically a favorable zone for bounce attempts in trending assets.

The MACD histogram showing bullish momentum at 0.0000 suggests the recent selling pressure may be exhausting. With the Stochastic %K at 51.34 above the %D at 44.53, there's emerging short-term momentum that supports the near-term FLOKI price prediction of $0.000220-$0.000240.

Volume analysis from Binance spot trading shows $4.45 million in 24-hour activity, indicating sufficient liquidity for any breakout attempt. The Bollinger Bands position at 0.38 confirms FLOKI is trading in the lower portion of its recent range, providing technical support for the bullish case.

Floki Price Targets: Bull and Bear Scenarios
Bullish Case for FLOKI
The primary bullish FLOKI price target centers on the $0.000280-$0.000320 range, representing a 40-60% upside from current levels. This Floki forecast relies on breaking above the immediate resistance around $0.000240, which would confirm the technical reversal pattern.

For this scenario to unfold, FLOKI needs to maintain above current support levels while RSI moves above 50, confirming momentum shift. The 24-hour trading range breakout above recent highs would trigger algorithmic buying and potentially validate the more optimistic analyst predictions.

A sustained move above $0.000240 could accelerate toward the upper FLOKI price target of $0.000320, especially if broader meme coin sentiment improves alongside any positive ecosystem developments.

Bearish Risk for Floki
The bearish scenario for this FLOKI price prediction involves a breakdown below the critical $0.000150 support level. This would invalidate the oversold bounce thesis and potentially target lower levels around $0.000120-$0.000130.

Key risk factors include broader cryptocurrency market weakness, meme coin sector rotation, or failure of the RSI to hold above 35. A MACD histogram turn negative would also challenge the current bullish momentum narrative and support more conservative price forecasts.

Should You Buy FLOKI Now? Entry Strategy
Based on the current Floki technical analysis, the optimal entry strategy involves scaling into positions around current levels with tight risk management. The question of whether to buy or sell FLOKI favors cautious accumulation given the oversold technical setup.

Entry Points:
- Primary: Current levels around $0.000200
- Secondary: Any dip toward $0.000180-$0.000190
- Stop-loss: Below $0.000150 (25% downside protection)

Position Sizing: Given the medium confidence level in this FLOKI price prediction, limiting exposure to 1-2% of portfolio allocation provides appropriate risk management while capturing potential upside.

FLOKI Price Prediction Conclusion
The technical setup supports a medium-confidence FLOKI price prediction targeting $0.000280-$0.000320 within the next 30 days. The combination of oversold RSI, emerging MACD momentum, and analyst consensus around 40-60% upside potential creates a compelling risk-reward scenario.

Key Indicators to Watch:
- RSI breaking above 50 for momentum confirmation
- MACD histogram maintaining positive trajectory

- Volume surge on any breakout above $0.000240

The timeline for this Floki forecast to materialize spans 2-4 weeks, with the initial move toward $0.000240 expected within 7-10 days if technical conditions remain supportive. Failure to hold current support levels would require reassessment of the bullish thesis and potentially more conservative price targets.

Bitcoin Extreme Fear Streak Extends To 16 Days—Longest Since 2022 cryptonews
BTC
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index has been in the extreme fear territory for two weeks now, showcasing the effect of the crash on investor sentiment.

Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index Is Still Inside Extreme Fear Zone
The “Fear & Greed Index” refers to an indicator created by Alternative that tells us about the average sentiment present among traders in the Bitcoin and wider cryptocurrency markets.

The index uses the data of these five factors to determine the investor mentality: trading volume, market cap dominance, volatility, social media sentiment, and Google Trends. It then represents it using a numeric scale that runs from zero to hundred.

All values above 53 on this scale correspond to a net sentiment of greed. Similarly, those below 47 imply that the investors are fearful. The levels lying between the cutoffs correspond to a neutral mentality.

Besides these three main zones, there are also two “extreme” regions called the extreme fear (below 25) and extreme greed (above 75). The market has been in the former of the two territories lately.

The extremely fearful sentiment is a result of the market crash that Bitcoin and other digital assets have gone through in November. The hit on the investor mentality has been so hard that the index has remained inside this zone for 16 days now, as the below chart shows.

How the BTC Fear & Greed Index has changed over the past year | Source: Alternative
The last time that the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index saw such a long streak of extreme fear was way back during the 2022 bear market. It’s hard to say how long the streak will extend, however, as BTC has enjoyed a rebound during the past couple of days, with its price returning back above $91,000.

The index has already been on the way up as its latest value is 22, nearing the boundary of the extreme fear zone.

Considering this trend, the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index may be able to escape the extreme fear zone if the cryptocurrency’s recovery continues in the coming days.

As for what the latest streak of extreme fear sentiment could mean for the asset, history may hold the answer. Often, BTC and other digital assets have tended to move in the direction that goes contrary to crowd expectations. This means that investors being overly bullish can result in tops, while an excess of pessimism can lead to a bottom.

The recent rebound in the Bitcoin price could be this contrarian signal once again playing out for the sector. Naturally, the longer investor excitement toward the rally stays subdued, the better may be its chances of being sustainable.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) Ready For A Significant Surge To $50: Key Levels Identified cryptonews
HYPE
After dipping below the $30 mark last week, Hyperliquid (HYPE), the native token of one of the rapidly expanding decentralized exchanges (DEXs), has managed to recover by 2% this Thursday, positioning itself to benefit from this latest upward movement that has seen the leading cryptocurrencies recover key levels.

HYPE Poised For A New Rebound
Market analyst OxMakeSense has highlighted the potential roadmap for HYPE to reach $50 in the short term, just below all-time high levels of $59, indicating that the token is starting to show the first signs of a significant shift. He emphasizes that the upcoming levels are filled with untouched liquidity, which could facilitate a climb for HYPE. 

Following a month of pressure, the analyst asserted that the asset recently formed its first solid rebound, suggesting that the selling pressure has begun to ease and market reactions are gaining strength.

OxMakeSense identifies a crucial checkpoint for Hyperliquid in the $37–$38 price range, marking where the last breakdown occurred. If HYPE can reclaim this level, he suggested that it could lead to a squeeze of “trapped sellers.” 

Additionally, surpassing the $38 threshold would open up the chart for a direct move toward the $41–$42 range, an area described as “thin” with little major resistance left from prior sell-offs.

Analyst Warns Of Potential Retracement To $25
In his social media analysis, OxMakeSense noted that the momentum pivot sits at a significant level of $44. He stated that strong trends typically begin by reclaiming mid-range levels like this one. 

Should HYPE flip this resistance into support, it is expected to accelerate further. Above $44, HYPE would enter a clearer trajectory, with targets aligning at $48 and ultimately at $50, where a substantial amount of untouched liquidity resides.

However, not all analysts share the same bullish outlook. Fellow analyst Crypto TXG has expressed concerns regarding HYPE’s recent performance, pointing out that it lost the $35.8 level and found a temporary bottom near $28.5.

While HYPE has reversed the trend, it is currently testing the $35.8 mark from below, which acts as a barrier. If HYPE can break through this resistance, the next target would be $42.3. Conversely, if it fails at $35.8, another pullback could occur, potentially retesting the $28.5 support more decisively.

Adding to the cautious sentiment, market expert Ali Martinez has indicated that if the token retests the breakdown zone, there is a possibility it could revisit the $25 mark. This suggests that, despite the recent uptick, a short-term retracement of approximately 28% could be on the horizon.

Bitcoin price prediction: Can a bear trap help push BTC to $100K? cryptonews
BTC
Journalist

Posted: November 28, 2025

The last week of November feels like a breather for the market.

After three straight red weeklies that wiped $970 billion off total crypto market cap, this week alone, the market is up 5%+, with $160 billion in inflows, potentially marking the first green weekly close of this month.

Notably, Bitcoin [BTC] accounts for 62% of the inflows, while the Altcoin Season Index has dropped to mid-July levels. With flows clearly BTC-led, the Bitcoin price prediction looks bullish heading into December.

Source: Glassnode

That said, a full bull run isn’t confirmed until BTC breaks key resistance.

Glassnode data reveals four major supply clusters that could hinder Bitcoin’s path to a new all‑time high. These clusters represent price zones where long-term holders (HODLers) are most likely to sell at a break-even point.

For momentum to continue, the broader macro environment must remain supportive; otherwise, investor FOMO could quickly fade. Encouragingly, the Fear and Greed Index has risen by 8 points this week, shifting sentiment from extreme fear to moderate fear.

Meanwhile, on-chain metrics are rebounding, signaling a less risky trading environment. Together, the micro and macro reset points to a strong accumulation phase, with a potential bear trap acting as a gateway to breaking resistance.

Bitcoin price prediction signals a move toward six figures
With Bitcoin in a risk-off phase, short liquidity naturally built up.

Simply put, as BTC remained capped and sentiment hit extreme fear, large clusters formed from traders betting against it. Now, with momentum shifting back to risk-on, many of these positions are getting trapped.

CoinGlass shows $1.13 billion in liquidations this week, with 61.3% from short bets. This is the first week of the month when short liquidations dominated, following three straight weeks of $1 billion+ in long flushes.

Source: TradingView (BTC/USDT)

Naturally, $100k stands out as a key target for Bitcoin price prediction.

The odds? BTC’s capitulation metrics are improving, with Net Realized Profit/Loss flipping green and realized losses easing. Paired with a rebound in on-chain signals, it suggests supply is being steadily absorbed.

If this momentum holds, a push toward a six-figure Bitcoin price prediction could be forming, with the recent short-liquidity wipeout hinting that bulls are targeting key levels and triggering bear traps to reclaim resistance.

Final Thoughts

Bitcoin is leading market inflows, but key resistance levels still need to break
Improving on-chain metrics and a short-liquidity squeeze hint that bulls are gearing up for a bigger move.

Amundi Tokenizes Flagship Money Market Fund on Ethereum cryptonews
ETH
Europe’s largest asset manager has launched a euro money market fund with a bit more than €5 billion in assets under management.
The fund now exists in a hybrid format: investors can buy it through usual bank and fund platforms or access a representation of the same exposure directly on a public blockchain. By choosing Ethereum as the settlement rail, Amundi taps into the most widely used smart contract network for institutional tokenization experiments today, from bond issues to fund shares.

Why Tokenization Matters for TradFi
Tokenization means turning claims on real world assets like funds, bonds or cash into digital tokens that can move and settle on a blockchain. This can reduce back office friction, cut intermediaries, and in the long run enable near instant settlement and more flexible distribution.

Today the on chain money market fund segment is still very small under ten billion dollars in value. Largely led by BlackRock , Franklin Templeton and French startup Spiko Finance. Yet global money market funds represent more than seven trillion dollar. So, even a small shift on chain could unlock large volumes over time.

🔴 Breaking: Amundi just tokenized one of its funds. And it’s on Ethereum.

The largest asset manager in Europe has launched a tokenized share of its money market fund, AMUNDI FUNDS CASH EUR, a fund of just over €5 billion, now available hybrid-style: through traditional… pic.twitter.com/1bCJ17njTp

— Raphaël Bloch 🐳 (@Raph_Bloch) November 27, 2025

A simple real world example is an institutional treasury desk that wants daily liquidity on spare cash. Instead of wiring money during banking hours to subscribe to a traditional fund, it could move tokenized euros or stablecoins 24/7 into a tokenized money market fund and redeem just as flexibly. Early data already shows strong traction in this niche.

More About Tokenization
Fidelity Investments , managing assets exceeding $6 trillion, views tokenization as a transformational technology and a significant opportunity to enhance its client experience.

Fidelity Investments, a leading financial institution with $6T+ in AUM, sees tokenization as a “transformational technology and a huge opportunity for us to capitalize and improve our client experience.”

— Chainlink (@chainlink) November 25, 2025

The firm believes tokenization will streamline transactions, improve access and allocation of capita. Also, integrate traditional finance with blockchain systems, ultimately offering more efficient and innovative financial services to its clients

Key NotesAnalysts warn of a structural downtrend in ZCash price, with lower targets at $410–$425 and $370–$380.On the other hand, ZEC futures open interest has fallen over 7%, signaling reduced trader exposure.On-chain data shows ZEC demand has cooled after its rapid growth during the 1,000% rally.

ZEC

has been on a freefall, correcting nearly 30% over the past week. As of press time, ZCash is trading at another 7.5% down, losing the crucial support at $480. Experts cite on-chain data as to what happens next for ZEC.

ZCash Price Loses Crucial Support Levels
The ZCash price party seems to be coming to an end, after today’s drop under $480. Crypto analyst Ardi reported that ZEC has fallen below its two crucial support levels: the 50-day simple moving average (SMA-50) and the $480 support zone.

As a result, ZEC will be testing its final support at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. It is the same zone that helped preserve the uptrend several weeks ago. Ardi stated that multiple ZEC price closes below this level would confirm a structural downtrend and a deeper correction ahead. According to the analyst, the next target levels to watch are in the $410–$425 and $370–$380 ranges.

Analyst Ardi also highlighted a key two-level confirmation setup around $480. He said that a successful move back above this zone would suggest the recent breakdown may have been a liquidity sweep rather than the start of a broader downtrend.

Furthermore, the CoinGlass data shows that ZEC futures open interest has dropped over 7%, to $977 million, in the past three hours. A drop in futures OI typically marks that traders are scaling back exposure, thereby highlighting signs of a potential pullback and market uncertainty.

Slowdown in ZEC Demand
Data from ZECHUB shows that surging demand for ZEC as a privacy-focused asset helped drive its nearly 1,000% rally between September and October. During the run-up, the number of shielded ZEC tokens held in the Orchard pool increased sharply, reducing circulating supply and reinforcing the upward price momentum.

However, the Orchard pool growth has reached its peak of 4.21 million ZEC on Nov. 4. This highlights a slowdown in demand for ZEC. If the net inflows don’t resume, it would prevent ZCash price from falling further.

Earlier this week, Grayscale said it has submitted the ZCSH Form S-3 filing, calling it a key step toward launching the first exchange-traded products (ETPs) for ZEC.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price: Whale Deposits Reach $7.5 Billion on Binance in 30 Days cryptonews
BTC
TLDR

Binance recorded $7.5 billion in whale deposits over the past 30 days, the highest level in the past year
Retail trading activity is returning as ETF outflows stabilize and both small and large wallet spot orders increase
Global liquidity is growing again after peaking in early October, which typically supports Bitcoin and other risk assets
Bitcoin is down nearly 17% in November, tracking toward its worst performance for the month since 2019
Technical analysts are watching the $93,000 monthly close level as a key indicator for Bitcoin’s near-term direction

Large Bitcoin holders moved $7.5 billion to Binance over the past 30 days, according to CryptoQuant data. This marks the highest level of whale inflows to the exchange in the past year.

Binance is the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. The platform often sees major transfers from large holders during periods of market uncertainty.

These whale movements can signal both profit-taking and risk management strategies. The activity comes as Bitcoin holders adjust their positions near key price levels.

A similar pattern occurred in March 2025. Bitcoin’s price dropped from around $102,000 to the low $70,000 range during that period.

Whales moved large amounts of funds to exchanges at that time. This created temporary selling pressure before the market stabilized.

The current inflow figures continue to climb. The data suggests that selling risk has not completely disappeared from the market.

Retail Activity Returns to Market
Retail trading activity is picking up alongside whale movements. Data from CryptosRus shows that both small and large wallet spot order flows are increasing at the same time.

THE RETAIL BUY SIDE IS WAKING UP AGAIN

Whale order flow has been steadily accumulating for days — but now retail has finally flipped too.

ETF outflows have ended and are now neutral or turning positive. The cumulative delta, which measures buying versus selling activity, is starting to flatten.

This marks the first time in several weeks that both retail and whale activity are moving in the same direction. Spot demand is beginning to recover across market segments.

Global Liquidity Growth Returns
The Global Liquidity Index tracks total capital available in financial markets. This measure closely correlates with Bitcoin’s price movements.

Global liquidity peaked in early October when Bitcoin reached its all-time high. The index has started growing again this week, according to Daan Crypto Trades.

$BTC We know by now, that Bitcoin likes nothing more than global liquidity.

The Global Liquidity Index gives a good overview of this. Far better than simply charting the M2 Money Supply which goes up only over time regardless.

— Daan Crypto Trades (@DaanCrypto) November 27, 2025

Higher global liquidity means more capital available for risk assets like Bitcoin. This trend could support cryptocurrency markets after recent volatility.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $91,500. The cryptocurrency is down nearly 17% for November.

This performance tracks toward Bitcoin’s worst November since 2019. That year saw losses of 17.3% during the month.

Bitcoin’s worst November on record was in 2018. The cryptocurrency dropped 36.5% during the bear market that followed its 2017 peak.

Bitcoin Price on CoinGecko
LVRG research director Nick Ruck said the current pullback could create opportunities. Overleveraged participants and unsustainable projects have been cleared from the market.

This allows new long-term holders to enter positions ahead of 2026. Crypto educator Sumit Kapoor noted that November is typically one of Bitcoin’s strongest months.

Technical analysts are watching the $93,000 level for the monthly close. Analyst CrediBull Crypto identified $93,401 and $102,437 as key levels to monitor.

A close above $93,000 would be a positive sign for Bitcoin’s price action. A close above $102,000 would indicate strong bullish momentum for the cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin traded flat over the past 24 hours and failed to break resistance below $92,000 on Thursday.

Major Bitcoin and Ethereum options expiry hits as open interest clusters near max pain cryptonews
BTC ETH
Large Bitcoin and Ethereum options expiry follows a major leverage washout, with open interest clustering near max pain while both trade just below key resistance.

Summary

Around 147,000 bitcoin options and 573,000 ethereum options expire Friday, with put/call ratios below 1 and heavy open interest near max pain.​
Recent PPI upside surprise and a sharp drop in derivatives open interest signal a leverage flush rather than a confirmed new bear market.​
Deribit notes positioning has stabilized around key support–resistance zones as crypto market cap stays steady and majors hover just under resistance.

Approximately 147,000 Bitcoin options contracts are scheduled to expire on Friday, Nov. 28, representing a larger-than-usual expiry event due to the end-of-month timing, according to market data.

The expiring BTC (BTC) options contracts have a put/call ratio of 0.58, indicating more long contracts than short positions, according to data from Coinglass. The highest concentration of open interest on Deribit is clustered around the maximum pain strike level, with additional significant open interest at lower strike prices.

U.S. government Producer Price Index inflation data released this week exceeded expectations, according to economic reports. CryptoQuant reported earlier in the week that the market experienced the largest drop in open interest of the current cycle, characterizing the movement as a major leverage washout rather than the beginning of a bear market.

Bitcoin and Ethereum options heading to market
“Positioning appears to have stabilized following recent volatility, with open interest now clustering around the key level, despite the fear,” Deribit stated in a report. The exchange noted that elevated call interest may indicate improving market sentiment following recent volatility.

In addition to BTC options, approximately 573,000 ETH (ETH) options contracts are also expiring Friday, with a put/call ratio of 0.50, according to exchange data. The combined notional value of Friday’s crypto options expiry represents a substantial amount across both cryptocurrencies.

“Following the recent deleveraging across crypto markets, positioning has cooled into a more neutral stance around a key support and resistance zone,” Deribit stated.

Cryptocurrency market capitalization remained relatively stable over the past 24 hours, according to market data. Bitcoin tested resistance levels multiple times but failed to break through, trading just below that threshold. Ethereum declined below a key resistance level during Asian trading hours.

Bitcoin's Critical Price Risk ‘Flag'ged — Here's Why a 25% Dip Could Be Possible cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin is trading near $91,000, but the market setup has started to show one of the clearest risk signals of the month. Price has been rising inside a narrow structure after a sharp fall, while on-chain data and derivatives positioning now show pressure building under the surface.

When these conditions appear together, the market often moves faster than expected. Traders are watching closely because several indicators now line up in the same direction.

Sponsored

A Large Bear Flag Pattern Is Setting Up the Risk WindowThe Bitcoin price dropped sharply between November 11 and November 21, creating the long downward leg that forms the “pole.” Since then, the price has been climbing slowly inside a tight channel. This creates the “flag.”

A pole-and-flag is a continuation pattern. A strong fall builds the pole. A slow, tight rebound forms the flag. Breaking the lower trendline often repeats the size of the earlier drop.

Bitcoin Risk Flagged: TradingViewThe earlier fall measured 25%, and flags commonly mirror that move. This gives a clean risk window where a deeper slide becomes possible if support fails. The structure does not confirm a breakdown on its own, but it gives a clear technical warning.

Sponsored

Both Spot And Derivatives Risks Are BuildingThe on-chain picture adds to the downside risk flagged by the pattern.

Total BTC held by short-term holders has climbed from about 2.44 million BTC on November 13 to roughly 2.67 million BTC now (a near 10% increase), a six-month high. These are low-conviction coins, usually bought in the last few months and sold quickly when volatility spikes. A rising short-term holder supply during a weak bounce often means more “fast money” that can rush for the exit together.

Short-Term Holder Supply Rises: GlassnodeSponsored

Derivatives positioning points the same way.

The Binance BTC/USDT liquidation map shows around $2.24 billion in long liquidation leverage stacked below price versus only about $536 million in shorts above it. In other words, roughly 81% of the current liquidation risk sits under long positions, with longs carrying about four times more potential liquidations than shorts.

Long Squeeze Risk Builds: CoinglassA clean move below the current flag support (highlighted later) would not just push spot price lower; it could also trigger a chain of forced long exits, amplifying any downside move the pattern starts.

Sponsored

Key Bitcoin Price Levels Decide Whether the Breakdown HappensThe first key level is $89,100. A clean drop below it breaks the flag and opens the squeeze zone. If this happens, the next support sits near $80,500. If pressure continues, the full flag extension points toward $66,600, a 25% move.

A move above $95,900 cancels the entire risk. This level sits above the flag’s midpoint and signals that buyers have regained strength. In that case, Bitcoin can attempt a move toward $107,400.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: TradingViewThe Bitcoin price now sits between these two lines. A clean break under $89,100 confirms the risk. A break above $95,900 removes it.

₳70,000,000: Cardano Proposes 2026 Budget Following Chain Split Incident cryptonews
ADA
Cardano’s key founding entities have proposed a 70 million ADA governance budget, seeking approval from the network’s treasury to fund major infrastructure integrations as the blockchain rebounds from a recent chain split.

This proposal comes at an important juncture for the Cardano ecosystem. The network recently demonstrated resilience after resolving a disruption caused by an AI-generated malformed transaction earlier this month.

Critical Infrastructure Funding Targets 2026 Ecosystem ExpansionThe Cardano Critical Integrations Budget proposal unites Input Output, EMURGO, Cardano Foundation, Intersect, and the Midnight Foundation.

Their goal is to address gaps that limit Cardano’s scaling. The 70 million ADA allocation would support tier-one stablecoin integrations, institutional-grade digital asset custody, cross-chain bridges, pricing oracles, and on-chain analytics platforms.

These integrations are designed to enhance Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem, attract institutional investors, and drive real-world asset tokenization. While discussions have occurred with integration partners, the proposal’s advancement depends on community approval through Cardano’s governance system.

Intersect will administer the initiative, ensuring transparency and accountability. Approval is required from both Delegated Representatives (DReps) and the Constitutional Committee, crucial components of Cardano’s decentralized governance.

According to documentation, Cardano’s treasury holds about 1.7 billion ADA and receives approximately 25.92 million ADA monthly through protocol mechanisms.

Community members are scrutinizing the proposal’s actual cost. Some suggest the total expense could surpass the requested sum by a wide margin.

Given all the different numbers that I've seen floated around, I personally suspect that in-all this roster of superpowers will cost way more, maybe double or triple what is being asked for.

I assume that means that the founding entities have some agreement to cover the rest of… https://t.co/XY8CN63Sa2

— Quantumplation | Pi Lanningham (@Quantumplation) November 27, 2025
The post also speculated that founding entities might cover extra costs out of pocket, a detail that voters should weigh. This debate highlights the complexity of budgeting for major integrations that involve diverse partners.

Network Demonstrates Resilience After AI-Triggered Chain SplitThe budget proposal follows Cardano’s swift recovery from a chain split on November 21. This incident was triggered when a malformed transaction, created by AI tools, briefly disrupted network consensus.

The issue arose during testing by a developer known as Homer J, who exploited a bug that allowed an oversized hash to bypass transaction validation.

While many wallets and dApps became temporarily inaccessible, block production was not interrupted. Pool operators quickly updated node software, restoring consensus and merging chains.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated the technical fix was in place within a day and raised the prospect of further action regarding the exploit.

Industry recognition followed. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko praised Cardano’s Ouroboros protocol for sustaining network stability through the event.

I am gonna go out on a limb and actually say this is pretty cool. Nakamoto style consensus without proof of work is extremely hard to build. The protocol functioned as designed in the presence of bugs. https://t.co/K3WO0BE7Cf

— toly 🇺🇸 (@aeyakovenko) November 23, 2025
This chain split revealed an uncommon edge-case vulnerability, masked by earlier node versions and typical tools, but ultimately reinforced the network’s robustness and community coordination.

Meanwhile, institutional interest in Cardano remains steady. Blockchain analytics show major holders continue to accumulate ADA at levels viewed as strong technical support zones.

Market Sentiment and Strategic PositioningMarket participants remain confident in Cardano’s future, despite recent challenges. On-chain data shows large holders increasing long positions at prices that mark the highest support in two years.

This trend contrasts with retail involvement and indicates that experienced investors see value at current price levels.

The stablecoin integration element of the budget tackles a DeFi ecosystem gap. Blockchain analytics report Cardano’s stablecoin market capitalization reaching $42 million in 2025, up from nearly zero in 2021.

However, this remains small next to the $308 billion global stablecoin market, highlighting room to grow.

The Cardano Foundation has already committed eight-figure ADA sums to support stablecoin liquidity. These commitments align with wider ecosystem strategies, including deployment of the Midnight sidechain, Bitcoin DeFi integration, and advanced payment systems.

The community vote on the Critical Integrations Budget is a major test of Cardano’s decentralized governance. DReps will weigh the proposal’s merit, while the Constitutional Committee oversees outcomes.

As 2026 approaches, this decision will shape Cardano’s role among blockchains, where advanced infrastructure influences institutional adoption.

Ethereum (ETH) Price: Testing $3,100 Resistance with $2,850 Support Level cryptonews
ETH
TLDR

Ethereum’s futures-to-spot ratio jumped from 5 to 6.9, showing traders are heavily using leverage and betting on price swings
BitMine bought 14,618 ETH worth $44.34 million on Thursday, adding to its treasury of over 3.6 million tokens
ETH faces resistance at $3,100 with support near $2,850, while recent liquidations totaled $34.2 million in 24 hours
BitMine Chair Tom Lee predicts Ethereum could reach $7,000 to $9,000 by January 2026
Ethereum leads Bitcoin and Solana in futures demand, with other assets maintaining stable ratios between 3.5 and 4.5

Ethereum’s trading activity has shifted toward futures contracts in recent days. Data from CryptoQuant shows the futures-to-spot ratio climbed from 5 to nearly 6.9.

The ratio measures how much trading happens in futures markets compared to spot markets. Bitcoin and Solana maintain ratios between 3.5 and 4.5. Ethereum’s higher number shows traders are using more leverage for ETH positions.

This pattern often appears when traders expect price volatility. Futures allow traders to bet on price movements without owning the actual cryptocurrency. The growing ratio suggests traders are positioning for short-term price changes.

BitMine Immersion Technologies bought 14,618 ETH on Thursday through a wallet tracked by Arkham Intelligence. The purchase totaled $44.34 million at the time of the transaction. BitMine acquired the tokens from BitGo at approximately 5:07 p.m.

The company has not officially confirmed this specific transaction. BitMine announced a $200 million Ethereum purchase earlier this month. The firm currently holds 3,629,701 ETH worth about $10.9 billion.

Price Levels and Technical Analysis
Ethereum trades near $3,100, testing a key resistance level. This price point sits below the 20-day Exponential Moving Average. The EMA has acted as resistance since October 10.

Ethereum Price on CoinGecko
Breaking above $3,100 could open the path to $3,470. Support exists near $2,850, which aligns with the cost basis for large ETH holders. If the price drops to this level, whale buyers might step in.

The past 24 hours saw $34.2 million in ETH futures liquidations. Short positions accounted for $22.1 million of these liquidations. This means traders betting against Ethereum were forced out of their positions as prices moved higher.

BitMine’s Strategy and Market Position
BitMine holds roughly 3% of Ethereum’s total supply. The company aims to accumulate 5% of all ETH tokens. BitMine Chair Tom Lee has spoken publicly about Ethereum’s potential in financial services.

Lee believes Wall Street institutions and government entities will favor Ethereum for blockchain applications. He describes Ethereum as a neutral chain suitable for mainstream adoption.

In a recent podcast interview, Lee predicted ETH would bottom near $2,500. He forecasts the price could climb to between $7,000 and $9,000 by the end of January 2026.

Ethereum Traders Signal a Shift

“A rising futures multiple typically forms when market participants anticipate stronger short-term price movement, and the data indicates that ETH traders are increasingly positioning ahead of potential trend acceleration.” – By @Crazzyblockk pic.twitter.com/o4kqn76pKF

— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) November 27, 2025

Lee also expects the Federal Reserve to adopt a more accommodating stance by year-end. He thinks this policy shift would reduce market pressure and provide clarity for crypto traders.

Market Indicators
The Relative Strength Index for Ethereum remains below neutral but has started to flatten after a recent increase. The Stochastic Oscillator moved above its midline. If the RSI rises to match the Stochastic, it could signal building upward momentum.

Bitcoin currently trades at $91,309, up 0.13% in the past day. Ethereum trades at $3,018, down 0.69% over the same period.

JPMorgan's Bitcoin Product Ignites Crypto Community cryptonews
BTC
10h35 ▪

min read ▪ by
Luc Jose A.

Summarize this article with:

The imminent launch of a structured product on bitcoin by JPMorgan is causing reactions. For part of the crypto community, this is not just a simple financial innovation, but a targeted offensive against actors like Strategy. As bitcoin gains ground as a reserve asset, the divide between traditional finance and pro-BTC strategies becomes clearer. Behind the apparent neutrality of the markets, some denounce an attempt to influence aimed at weakening the companies most exposed to the asset.

In brief

JPMorgan’s launch of a bitcoin-backed structured product triggers a strong reaction in the crypto community.
Voices accuse the bank of indirectly targeting MicroStrategy and BTC-exposed companies.
The product, judged risky, could trigger margin calls and increase selling pressure on the market.
Meanwhile, JPMorgan supports a reform of MSCI indexes to exclude companies heavily invested in cryptos.

JPMorgan in the Crosshairs of Bitcoin Advocates
The announcement by JPMorgan of a new structured product linked to the bitcoin price has stirred a wave of criticism within the crypto community.

These are 1.5× leveraged notes, correlated to BTC performance, with maturity set to December 2028. This initiative is seen as contradictory by many observers, as JPMorgan has long been critical of bitcoin.

The outrage is even stronger because some see this as a disguised attack against iconic companies like Strategy. “The same institutions attacking Strategy are now adopting its strategy,” a user commented on X, summarizing the prevailing sentiment.

The criticisms have focused on several key points :

The problematic leverage : the product would allow institutional players to bet on BTC volatility without real commitment to the underlying asset ;

A domino risk : some fear the tool could amplify market movements in bearish phases, generating increased selling pressure ;

Indirect targeting of Strategy : several voices agree that the goal is to trigger margin calls on BTC-backed loans held by companies like MSTR ;

Calls for retaliation : in response, influential members of the crypto sphere are calling to close their accounts at JPMorgan and divest from its shares.

According to one critic, these financial instruments do not exist to diversify BTC exposure but to exert artificial selling pressure during downturns. This perception fuels distrust in an ecosystem already sensitive to attempts to regulate or even exclude Bitcoin strategies in the upper echelons of traditional finance.

A Systemic Threat to Crypto Treasuries ?
Beyond the structured product itself, another front opened by JPMorgan is crystallizing concerns: its involvement in a proposal to reform MSCI indexes.

This would aim to exclude companies whose 50 % or more of assets are denominated in cryptos. A measure that would directly affect Strategy, whose bitcoin accumulation strategy is at the heart of its business model. According to an internal JPMorgan note, this exclusion could lead to significant passive outflows, with an impact estimated at $11.6 billion if extended to all affected indexes.

Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Strategy, defended his company against accusations of being an “inactive holding company.” He claims the company conducts active economic operations, with data analysis software and a clear bitcoin-focused strategy.

For him, the attempt to exclude amounts to punishing a company for its treasury management, even though it is transparent and consistent. This controversy raises a question: is there an attempt to disqualify bitcoin-friendly companies from major indexes, risking market imbalances? If exclusions become widespread, they could weaken an entire segment of institutional crypto strategy.

This case reveals a deep split between traditional financial institutions and advocates of decentralized finance. Beyond the Strategy case, it questions the future of companies exposed to bitcoin in an ecosystem where power and influence dynamics increasingly shape the rules of the game.

XRP on the Verge of 13% Santa Rally Breakout, But Do Not Get Too Comfortable: Bollinger Bands cryptonews
XRP
Fri, 28/11/2025 - 9:40

XRP is stuck under the midband with every attempt getting blocked, creating the kind of buildup that can fire into a 13% run right before Christmas, but the chart still leaves no real comfort.

XRP was in a bit of a slump recently, going back and forth between $2.10 and $2.20, as per TradingView. But the real story was not in the candles themselves. It has been sitting inside the Bollinger Bands, where the popular altcoin has been stuck under the midband for almost two weeks straight. This usually means that there is pressure building up beneath the surface.

On paper, the price seems pretty calm. The thing is, XRP keeps hitting the same ceiling near the middle band, and each time it stalls in the same narrow zone. 

This kind of behavior usually tells traders that the market is not rejecting upside; it simply is not ready to hand it out yet. The setup looks a lot like what you often see before a major market rise, which is where the 13% Santa Rally angle comes from.

HOT Stories

XRP/USD by TradingViewThe band structure explains why this moment is so important. The upper band is near $2.50, the lower band is near $1.92 and XRP has been sliding between them without direction since early November.

Why is XRP an exceptional choice right now?Most names out there are not showing this exact compression. Bitcoin and Ethereum are moving with more stable strength, while smaller names like ZEC are drifting without tension. 

XRP, on the other hand, is the only large-cap chart showing a midband blockade sitting directly under a potential seasonal breakout.

Now, the focus is back on the midband. If XRP finally pushes above it with a decisive close, the path to the 13% extension to $2.51 is open right away. If the rejection repeats itself, the market can drag the price back to the same low band at $1.92 that defined most of the month.

Solana (SOL) Price: ETFs Record First $8.1M Outflow After 21-Day Inflow Streak cryptonews
SOL
TLDR

Solana ETFs recorded their first outflow of $8.1 million on November 27, ending a 21-day streak of continuous inflows since their October launch.
The 21Shares TSOL fund drove the decline with $34.37 million in redemptions, while other Solana ETFs like Bitwise BSOL and Grayscale GSOL posted inflows.
Solana ETFs now hold approximately 6.83 million SOL tokens worth around $964 million in total assets across all products.
XRP ETFs continued attracting capital with $21 million in inflows on the same day, while Dogecoin’s new ETF launched with only $11 million.
Solana network activity declined with a 6% drop in active addresses and 16% decrease in network fees over the past week.

Solana exchange-traded funds posted their first negative day on November 27, recording $8.1 million in net outflows. The reversal ended a 21-day pattern of continuous inflows that started when the products launched in late October.

The outflow came primarily from the 21Shares Solana ETF, which saw $34.37 million leave the fund in one trading session. TSOL has now recorded $26 million in total net outflows since its debut, with current net assets at $86 million.

Other Solana ETF products absorbed much of the decline. The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF brought in $13.33 million, pushing its cumulative total to $527.79 million. The Grayscale Solana Trust added $10.42 million, while Fidelity’s FSOL fund logged $2.51 million in new capital.

Solana ETFs currently hold about 6.83 million SOL tokens valued at roughly $964 million combined. Total net assets across all Solana ETF products stand at $917.99 million.

Despite the single day of outflows, Solana ETFs added nearly $103 million during the week. Cumulative inflows have reached $613.22 million since launch. November generated $414.01 million in inflows, more than double the $199.21 million recorded in October.

Competition From XRP Products
XRP ETFs have not recorded any outflow sessions since launching. The products added another $21 million in combined inflows on November 27, bringing their cumulative total to $643 million.

The Bitwise XRP ETF led with $7.4 million in new money. Canary’s XRPC brought in $5.2 million, followed by roughly $4 million each for Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ and Grayscale’s GXRP.

Rachel Lin, CEO of SynFutures, said investors may be moving away from higher-risk altcoins into assets with better regulatory clarity. She noted Solana holders tend to exit more quickly when market sentiment turns negative.

Bitcoin ETFs added $21.12 million on November 26. Total cumulative Bitcoin ETF inflows now stand at $57.63 billion, with daily trading volumes above $4.5 billion.
