Dash (CRYPTO: DASH) exploded on Monday, extending its winning streak in an otherwise downtrending cryptocurrency market.

DASH Rallies While Other Cryptos StruggleThe Layer-1 cryptocurrency soared 70% in the last 24 hours, reaching values not seen since January 2022.

DASH's trading volume spiked 32% to $1.38 billion, suggesting high liquidity and buying pressure.

The token was the market's biggest gainer in the 24-hour period, shrugging off the declines in blue-chip currencies, such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH).

Capital Rotation Into Privacy Coins?DASH, a Litecoin (CRYPTO: LTC) fork, was launched in 2014 as a payment method with a privacy focus.

As outlined in its whitepaper, DASH aims to improve upon Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) by offering enhanced privacy features.

DASH's rally was spurred by a broader interest in privacy-focused coins, with the total market capitalization for such assets increasing 6% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinGecko.

Price Action: At the time of writing, DASH was exchanging hands at $146.54, up 70% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Bitcoin’s Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) has dropped to 0.47, its lowest since April, signaling a potential base-building phase.A bearish cross between the 50-day and 100-day EMAs is forming, often marking short-term selling pressure before recovery.Key Bitcoin price levels to watch: support at $106,300 and resistance at $111,400, which could decide the next trend direction.Bitcoin’s November start has once again disappointed traders. The price has dropped 2.4% in the past 24 hours and is down 6.2% over the past week.

While the market has been stuck in a pattern of short rebounds and deeper pullbacks, on-chain data now points to another dip, possibly significant, before the next rally phase begins.

NUPL Suggests the Market Bottom Isn’t Fully InThe Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) metric shows how much profit or loss Bitcoin investors are holding. When NUPL values drop sharply, it signals that holders are losing incentives to sell — often setting up the next bottom.

Currently, Bitcoin’s NUPL sits at 0.47, the lowest level since April 8, when it fell to 0.42. During that earlier cycle, Bitcoin’s NUPL declined in three stages — 0.48 on February 26, 0.44 on March 10, and 0.42 on April 8 — before Bitcoin rallied from $76,000 to above $125,000.

This time, the metric started falling in late October. And the current reading matches the first stage of that earlier drop, the level on February 26. If this structure repeats, the next leg lower — toward 0.42–0.44 — could occur by early to mid-December, marking the next accumulation phase before a recovery takes hold.

As NUPL drop involves shaking out the weak hands, it might be followed by a steady BTC price drop. And that looks likely, now!

Bearish Crossover Could Be the Trigger — and It’s Happening NowA “bearish crossover” happens when a short-term exponential moving average or EMA (like the 50-day) crosses below a long-term one (like the 100-day). On Bitcoin’s daily chart, this crossover is forming right now — and it’s critical.

The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a short-term trend indicator that tracks price changes by giving more weight to recent movements. It helps identify whether buyers or sellers currently control the market.

From a buyer-seller perspective, this indicates that short-term sellers are gaining the upper hand over longer-term holders. It reflects a shift in control: traders who bought recently are exiting, while longer-term investors are hesitant to buy until clear strength returns.

Bitcoin’s Next Dip Trigger: TradingViewThis setup often sparks panic-driven selloffs, forcing weaker hands out of the market before a fresh accumulation phase begins. If the 50-day EMA fully crosses below the 100-day and prices fail to recover quickly, that could accelerate a short, intense shakeout that pushes NUPL to its final base range (0.42–0.44).

Key Bitcoin Price Levels To WatchBitcoin is currently hovering near $106,900, just above the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement at $106,300. This level acted as short-term support in October. If that level breaks, the next target sits near $103,500. That would result in a roughly 3%–4% drop and would then lower the NUPL. If that level breaks, the BTC price might head lower.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: TradingViewHowever, a strong daily close above $111,400 would flip the short-term structure bullish again. That level has acted as resistance since October 30. Breaking above it would invalidate the bearish crossover’s effect and open a path toward the $113,300 zone. However, such a significant Bitcoin price upmove would also invalidate the NUPL-based bottoming theory, at least for now.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has reignited debate within the ADA community after criticizing users for their lack of participation in the network's decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. In his recent podcast, Hoskinson openly stated that the community itself is partly responsible for Cardano's DeFi shortcomings, arguing that total value locked (TVL) on the blockchain would easily reach between $5 billion and $10 billion if users actively supported native platforms.

Pi Network (PI) fell 5.63% in the past 24 hours to $0.2283 after failing to hold key support at the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of $0.26. The token also slipped below its 7-day simple moving average at $0.248.

On-chain data shows that exchange supply surged to 423 million PI, up by 13 million week-on-week, meaning increased selling pressure.

Despite the short-term dip, the Pi Network team confirmed that several upgrades are on the way. The upcoming V23 Mainnet Protocol Upgrade, Smart Contracts Integration, and PI DEX (Decentralized Exchange) are expected to push the project toward full functionality.

The roadmap also includes token creation tools on the Pi Blockchain, enabling developers to launch their own tokens within the Pi ecosystem. These updates could position Pi as a major player in mobile-first decentralized finance once fully deployed.

Progress Toward Open MainnetCurrently, Pi operates in the Enclosed Mainnet (Transitional) phase, launched in December 2021. Core infrastructure is now 100% complete, but the long-awaited Open Mainnet remains pending.

The blockchain runs on a modified Stellar Consensus Protocol with 5-second block times and Byzantine Fault Tolerance, offering speed and energy efficiency. Analysts say these features give Pi a strong technical foundation, though the multi-year delay raises questions about readiness and regulatory compliance.

Smart Contracts and Ecosystem GrowthPi’s smart contract system is still in testnet, with 66% progress reported. Built using Rust and WebAssembly, it focuses on speed and security. Around 47 decentralized apps are already in development, alongside 200,000 active nodes and 47 million registered users.

The planned Pi DEX is halfway complete and will include automated market makers and liquidity pools. Developers see it as key to unlocking the project’s DeFi potential, once open trading is allowed.

User Growth Remains a StrengthWith over 47 million registered users and 150,000 daily transactions, Pi Network continues to show strong community engagement. The wallet system, now 90% complete, supports mobile payments with minimal transaction fees.

However, most of Pi’s user base remains in the Asia-Pacific region, creating potential exposure to regulatory risks in those markets. Still, the sheer scale of users gives the network a foundation few emerging blockchains can match.

Market Sentiment and Price PredictionsThe community remains divided about Pi’s short-term price direction. There are predictions of a rebound toward $0.30 as new updates roll out, while others warn that delays in mainnet launch and exchange listings could drag prices lower.

If the project meets its roadmap goals, especially with the mainnet, smart contracts, and DEX integration, a return to the $3 all-time high is possible in 2025.

Ripple is deepening its push into digital asset infrastructure with a strategic acquisition that will strengthen its institutional products.

Summary

Ripple has acquired wallet and custody firm Palisade to expand institutional services.
Palisade’s MPC wallet tech will integrate into Ripple Custody and Payments.
The deal follows Ripple’s $1B GTreasury and $1.25B Hidden Road acquisitions.

Ripple has made another major move to enhance its institutional offerings, acquiring digital asset wallet and custody provider Palisade.

According to a Nov. 3 press release, the deal will allow Ripple to expand its custody infrastructure and directly serve fintechs, corporates, and crypto-native firms that need secure digital asset storage and transaction tools.

Expanding Ripple’s custody and payments reach
The acquisition brings Palisade’s “wallet-as-a-service” technology into Ripple’s growing suite of enterprise products. Palisade’s platform combines multi-party computation, zero-trust architecture, and multi-chain support, making it suitable for fast and secure transactions across networks such as XRP Ledger, Ethereum, and Solana.

Integrating Palisade’s technology will enhance Ripple Custody and Ripple Payments, enabling clients to manage everything from real-time settlements to high-frequency treasury operations under one system. 

This approach supports use cases like corporate on-ramps, off-ramps, and subscription payments while maintaining compliance and auditability.

A year of aggressive expansion
The move adds to a string of acquisitions and launches by Ripple in 2025. Earlier in late October, the company unveiled Ripple Prime, a U.S.-based digital asset prime brokerage built from its $1.25 billion Hidden Road acquisition. It also closed a $1 billion purchase of treasury software firm GTreasury, integrating crypto settlements into traditional finance systems.

Ripple President Monica Long said that “secure digital asset custody unlocks the crypto economy,” noting that corporates and financial institutions are now seeking “bank-grade” partners as they enter the market. Ripple Custody is already used by institutions such as DBS, Societe Generale–FORGE, BBVA, and Absa Bank.

With over 75 global regulatory licenses, Ripple continues to position itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized markets. The Palisade deal further strengthens that goal by combining Ripple’s infrastructure with Palisade’s wallet technology to support both custody and real-time payments.

Bitcoin’s Last Support Before $100K Breaks as 'Mag 7' Skew Flips, Oracle CDS SurgesThe decline comes amid signs of over exuberance in major tech stocks and investor angst about increased AI spending.Updated Nov 4, 2025, 6:08 a.m. Published Nov 4, 2025, 6:04 a.m.

Bitcoin BTC$107,661.53 has fallen below a key support level that had been holding back a slide toward $100,000, amid weakening momentum in tech stocks.

The leading cryptocurrency fell below $106,000 during Asian trading hours, penetrating the level that had offered support multiple times in recent weeks, according to CoinDesk data.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

The breakdown shifts focus to the $100,000-$101,000 area, according to Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research. A violation there could open the door to a deeper test near $94,000, or even a full retracement toward $85,000, the maximum pain zone that also aligns with strong on-chain support, Thielen said in a note to clients.

"While such a move would be extreme, downside risk remains contained as long as bitcoin holds above its prevailing downtrend line," he added.

BTC's dour price action follows dwindling odds of rapid Fed rate cuts and signs of bullish turnaround in the dollar index, which tracks the greenback's value against major currencies.

Furthermore, there are signs of overexuberance in the so-called “Magnificent 7” stocks — Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla — which is typically seen at major market tops.

"The put-call skew in the Mag7 complex inverted for the first time since December of last year (i.e. implied volatility of calls traded over puts). This phenomenon has only happened a handful of times. The move implies investors are overwhelmingly positioned for continued upside," analyst Neil Sethi said on X, quoting Goldman Sachs.

"Historically, such low skew readings have tended to coincide with short-term consolidation or reversals as optimism peaks," Sethi added.

At the same time, the credit default swap tied to Oracle, which measures the cost of insuring against a potential default, has surged following the company’s massive third-quarter AI investment disclosures – reaching levels not seen outside periods of significant macro stress.

This, according to some analysts, represents investor anxiety regarding the booming AI spending. AI optimism has been one of the major drivers of the bull market in both stocks and wider risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, since 2023.

All things considered, bulls might be better off being cautious rather than overly exuberant.

The Dash price has just delivered one of its wildest runs in years. I watched as Dash ripped 66.6% higher in the past 24 hours, igniting a rally that crushed the broader cryptocurrency market. For context, Dash’s market cap ballooned 64% to $1.8 billion, and trading volume shot up 40%. The weekly tally is even more stunning, Dash jumped 194%. 

Three forces drove this move, privacy coin sector momentum with an 80% weekly surge with Dash leading, A wave of bullish ecosystem news, and a technical breakout that demolished a 968-day downtrend. The rapid incline was supercharged by a $13M short squeeze, where bears absorbed heavy liquidations. This created a frenzy as traders piled in, chasing records above $140. The volatile mix of breakout charts and liquidations has made Dash today’s main event.

$7+ Million in Liquidations?Tracking Dash shorts in real time, I saw over $13M get wiped out as the price ripped higher. Most pain landed on bears, with short liquidations outweighing longs on every timeframe. In just 24 hours, Dash traders faced $7.26M total liquidations, as $6.03M from shorts dominated. 

This was not random, the squeeze stretched across 12 hours and $5.19M), with shorts taking $4.48M losses. The biggest clearing house was Binance, with $1.10B volume. CoinGlass data shows a market caught in a stampede, where failed bets get punished hard.​

Price AnalysisDash price is trading at $144.22, pumping 63.83% in a single day and hitting a 7-day gain of 194%. The short squeeze drove the price straight through prior resistance at $90 and then $130, validating a dramatic breakout. Technically, the breakout torched a 968-day downtrend, turning Dash into the fastest mover on the privacy coin chart. 

Successively, the RSI on the 4-hour chart stands at 82.49, deep in overbought territory, signaling risk of a near-term pullback. Recent candles show price clipping a 24-hour high at $148.98 before retreating, with visible volatility spikes. Moreover, the Bollinger Bands are wide, indicating high volatility after consolidation. 

That being said, key resistances sit at $140 and next at $159.95, while $90 and $59.76 represent immediate support zones. Dash market volume is concentrated on Binance ($1.1B), which can amplify price swings if whales rotate positions. If RSI remains elevated, a further squeeze is possible, but the risk of a sharp correction cannot be ignored.

FAQsWhat caused Dash’s explosive price rally?

Dash soared on privacy coin sector momentum, a bullish breakout above long-term resistance, and $13M in short liquidations that triggered further upside moves.

Is Dash at risk of correction after this spike?

Yes. The current RSI at 82.49 suggests Dash is very overbought, and sharp volatility may trigger a pullback, especially if short-term traders take profits at resistance.

Where are key technical levels for Dash right now?

Major resistance sits at $140 and $159.95. Immediate supports rest at $90.06 and $59.76. Break below support could invite heavier selling or fresh liquidations.

Eaton Corporation (ETN - Free Report) is expected to report an improvement in both top and bottom lines when it reports third-quarter 2025 results on Nov. 4, before market open. The company reported an earnings surprise of 1.03% in the second quarter.

ETN’s Q3 Earnings ExpectationThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for ETN’s revenues is pegged at $7.06 billion, indicating a 11.23% increase from the year-ago reported figure.

ETN expects its third-quarter earnings to be in the range of $3.01 to $3.07 per share. The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at $3.06 per share, indicating a 7.75% increase from the year-ago reported figure.

Factors Likely to Have Driven ETN’s Q3 Earnings PerformanceElectrification, global megatrends, the ongoing energy transition and reindustrialization have been fueling growth across nearly 75% of Eaton’s end markets. These drivers are likely to contribute to strong third-quarter results. Rising demand from power-hungry AI data centers has opened up new opportunities, providing further support to earnings.

Eaton’s broad product portfolio continues to drive strong order wins, steadily increasing. Its strong backlog offers a reliable pipeline of future revenues, contributing to the company’s solid performance. Eaton’s expertise in meeting essential power management demands has fueled organic growth across several segments. This is likely to support its third-quarter results.

Key Takeaways Sprouts Farmers' Q3 gross margin rose 60 bps to 38.7%, aided by tighter inventory and lower shrink.Comparable-store sales slowed to 5.9%, with Q4 growth forecast between flat and 2%.CFO cites sourcing efficiencies and private-label mix as key supports for steady EBIT margins.
Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (SFM - Free Report) has sustained impressive margin expansion despite its top-line momentum easing. During the third quarter of 2025, the gross margin expanded by 60 basis points to 38.7%, driven by tighter inventory management and lower shrink. The EBIT margin expanded to 7.2%, up from 6.3% a year ago, demonstrating disciplined cost control amid a softening consumer backdrop.

However, the company’s near-term challenge lies in defending these gains as sales growth decelerates. Comparable-store sales rose 5.9% in the third quarter, below management’s expectations, and moderated from 10.2% and 11.7% increases registered in the second and first quarters, respectively. For the fourth quarter, Sprouts Farmers expects flat to 2% growth in comparable store sales. With tougher year-over-year comparisons and moderating traffic in some trade areas, SFM faces pressure to balance promotional intensity with profitability.

Management expects the EBIT margin to be flat year over year in the final quarter of 2025. CFO Curtis Valentine noted that efficiency levers in sourcing and category management, along with progress in self-distribution for meat and seafood, are helping offset cost inflation. Meanwhile, Sprouts’ private-label assortment continues to drive mix benefits, growing more than 25% of total sales. SG&A also leveraged 13 basis points to 29.7% of sales, supported by lower compensation expenses despite higher benefit costs tied to store expansion.

As Sprouts Farmers enters a slower growth phase, delivering a stable EBIT margin will depend on ongoing efforts in supply-chain management and private-label expansion. The coming quarters will reveal if SFM’s structurally improved margin profile can endure a cooling demand environment.

What the Latest Metrics Say About Sprouts FarmersSprouts Farmers, which competes with Walmart Inc. (WMT - Free Report) and Target Corporation (TGT - Free Report) , has seen its shares drop 40.1% over the past year compared with the industry’s decline of 9.8%. While shares of Walmart have rallied 22.7%, Target has declined 38.2% in the aforementioned period.

From a valuation standpoint, SFM's forward 12-month price-to-sales ratio stands at 0.80, higher than the industry’s ratio of 0.24. SFM carries a Value Score of B. Sprouts Farmers is trading at a discount to Walmart (with a forward 12-month P/S ratio of 1.10) but at a premium to Target (0.39).

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Sprouts Farmers’ current financial-year sales and earnings per share implies year-over-year growth of 14.3% and 40.5%, respectively.

The Zacks Retail – Restaurants industry continues to navigate a challenging macroeconomic environment, high costs and dismal traffic. However, the industry is benefiting from an increase in sales, driven by rapid menu price hikes, average check growth and expansion efforts. Industry participants also benefit from partnerships with delivery channels and digital platforms. Stocks like Dutch Bros Inc. (BROS - Free Report) , BJ's Restaurants, Inc. (BJRI - Free Report) and Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (RRGB - Free Report) are well-poised to benefit from the factors mentioned above.

Industry Description
The Zacks Retail – Restaurants industry comprises several owners and operators of casual, upscale casual, fine dining, full-service and fast-casual restaurants. Some industry participants operate as roasters, marketers and retailers of specialty coffee. Some companies develop, operate and franchise quick-service restaurants worldwide. A few restaurant operators offer cooked-to-order dishes, including noodles and pasta, soups, salads and appetizers. Some industry players develop, own, operate, manage and license restaurants and lounges worldwide. A few companies also run technology-enabled Japanese restaurants in the United States and provide Japanese cuisine through a revolving sushi service model.

4 Trends Shaping the Future of the Restaurant Industry
Challenging Market Landscape: The industry is currently grappling with a challenging macroeconomic environment, led by persistent inflation and reduced consumer purchasing power. The restaurant industry has been facing declining traffic for quite some time. A rapid increase in menu prices is the primary reason behind traffic erosion. This decline highlights the ongoing challenges that the industry faces in maintaining customer counts, especially as consumers grow frustrated with rising prices.

Intense competition and high wages are concerning. The industry continues to bear increased expenses, which have been affecting margins. Higher pre-opening costs, marketing expenses and costs related to sales-boosting initiatives are exerting pressure on the company’s margins.

Robust Sales Growth: Restaurant sales continued their strong momentum in August, as consumers remained committed to dining out despite economic uncertainties. According to preliminary figures from the U.S. Census Bureau, sales at eating and drinking establishments reached $99.5 billion in August on a seasonally adjusted basis, reflecting a 0.7% increase from July’s revised total of $98.8 billion.

Digitalization to Drive Growth: Restaurant operators’ focus on digital innovation, sales-building initiatives and cost-saving efforts has been a catalyst. With the growing influence of the Internet, digital innovation is the need of the hour. Restaurant operators constantly partner with delivery channels and digital platforms to drive incremental sales. Partnerships with delivery channels like DoorDash, Grubhub, Postmates and Uber Eats, and the rollout of self-service kiosks and loyalty programs continue to drive growth.

Off-Premise Sales Act as Key Catalyst: The industry is gaining from the increase in off-premise sales, which primarily include delivery, takeout, drive-thru, catering, meal kits and off-site options, such as kiosks and food trucks. Most restaurant operators have initiated the testing of ghost or virtual kitchens. The idea of providing off-premise offerings and a connected curbside service has been garnering positive customer feedback.

Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Dull Prospects
The Zacks Restaurant industry is grouped within the broader Retail-Wholesale sector. It carries a Zacks Industry Rank #214, which places it in the bottom 11% of more than 243 Zacks industries.

The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates dull near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than two to one.

The industry’s position in the bottom 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries results from a negative earnings outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate. Before we present a few stocks that you may want to consider for your portfolio, let us take a look at the industry’s recent stock-market performance and valuation picture.

Factors Shaping CRSP’s Upcoming ResultsCRISPR Therapeutics’ top line currently includes grants and collaboration revenues from its partnership with large-cap biotech Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX - Free Report) .

CRSP and partner VRTX’s one-shot gene therapy, Casgevy, was approved in late 2023/early 2024 for two blood disorders — sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (TDT) — in the United States and Europe. This product is the first and currently the only marketed product in CRSP’s portfolio.

Per the collaboration terms, Vertex leads global development, manufacturing and commercialization, and splits program costs and profits worldwide in a 60:40 ratio with the company. CRSP is currently recording its share of Casgevy's sales as an adjustment to collaboration expenses (net). Casgevy sales have been rising in recent quarters, which is likely to have led to an improvement in collaboration expense for the September quarter.

Investors will also be keen to get more updates related to the commercial progress of Casgevy on the upcoming earnings call.

CRISPR Therapeutics is pursuing the development of CRISPR candidates to create novel CAR-T cell therapies. It is currently focused on the development of two next-generation CAR-T therapy candidates — CTX112 (for CD9-positive B-cell malignancies and autoimmune disorders) and CTX131 (for solid tumors and hematological malignancies) — in separate phase I/II studies. Updates from all these studies are expected during the upcoming call.

Apart from immuno-oncology candidates, CRISPR Therapeutics is currently studying its first two in-vivo candidates, CTX310 and CTX320, in separate phase I clinical studies targeting ANGPTL3 and lipoprotein(a), respectively. The company intends to further expand its in-vivo pipeline with two more programs, CTX340 (for refractory hypertension) and CTX450 (for acute hepatic porphyria), which it plans to advance to clinical development before this year’s end. We expect the company to provide an update on these programs during the Q3 results discussion.

Activities related to developing the company’s pipeline candidates are likely to have escalated operating expenses in the to-be-reported quarter.

Nevertheless, a single quarter’s results are not so important for long-term investors. Let us delve deeper to understand whether it would be a prudent move to buy, sell, or hold the stock at present.

CRSP’s Stock Price Performance & ValuationThis year so far, CRISPR’s shares have surged nearly 63% compared with the industry’s 12% growth. It has also outperformed the broader Medical sector and the S&P 500 Index. The stock is currently trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages.

Our Investment Thesis on CRSP StockWhile CRISPR’s pipeline remains largely in early development, the approval of Casgevy marked a turning point by establishing its first commercial revenue stream. Although initial sales were slow, uptake has been improving as more treatment centers come online, which could drive steady revenue growth in upcoming quarters.

Casgevy’s launch provides CRISPR Therapeutics with a first-mover advantage over peers such as Beam Therapeutics (BEAM - Free Report) and Intellia Therapeutics (NTLA - Free Report) , whose CRISPR-based therapies are still in clinical development. The Vertex partnership further enhances commercial execution, with shared development and marketing responsibilities helping streamline costs and scale distribution.

How to Play CRSP StockWe would suggest holding on to this stock for now, considering its growth prospects. While rising expenses related to these programs have pressured near-term loss estimates, they also highlight CRISPR Therapeutics’ continued investment in innovation beyond Casgevy. The company is also expected to provide updates on its immuno-oncology pipeline before year-end, which could act as a key stock catalyst.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on lower revenues when Red Robin (RRGB - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended September 2025. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on November 10, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis casual restaurant chain is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.78 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +31%.

Revenues are expected to be $262.59 million, down 4.4% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 5.88% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Red Robin?For Red Robin, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Red Robin will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Red Robin would post a loss of$0.25 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.26, delivering a surprise of +204.00%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Red Robin doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -157.1%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $900.17 million, down 13.3% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for Bloomin' Brands has been revised 15.7% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +1.02%.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #4 (Sell), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Bloomin' Brands will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Grab ?For Grab , the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Grab will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Grab would post earnings of $0.01 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.01, delivering no surprise.

The company has not been able to beat consensus EPS estimates in any of the last four quarters.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Grab doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerAmong the stocks in the Zacks Internet - Software industry, Onestream (OS - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $0.02 per share for the quarter ended September 2025. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +101.9%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $148 million, up 14.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Onestream has remained unchanged. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%, reflecting an equal Most Accurate Estimate.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Onestream will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Arcturus Therapeutics (ARCT - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2025. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on November 10, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis pharmaceutical company is expected to post quarterly loss of $1.25 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -380.8%.

Revenues are expected to be $11.39 million, down 72.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 4.21% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

TRX price prediction shows potential 17-25% upside to $0.33-$0.35 within 2-4 weeks as TRON bounces from oversold conditions and critical support levels.

TRON (TRX) is currently navigating a critical juncture at $0.28, having declined 4.22% in the past 24 hours. With the cryptocurrency testing crucial support levels and showing oversold conditions, our TRX price prediction analysis reveals both immediate risks and promising medium-term opportunities for the blockchain platform.

TRX Price Prediction Summary
• TRX short-term target (1 week): $0.295-$0.31 (+5-11%)
• TRON medium-term forecast (1 month): $0.32-$0.35 range (+14-25%)
• Key level to break for bullish continuation: $0.33 (Bollinger Band upper resistance)
• Critical support if bearish: $0.28 (current Bollinger Band lower support)

Recent TRON Price Predictions from Analysts
The analyst community shows mixed but cautiously optimistic sentiment regarding TRON's near-term prospects. Tony Kim from Blockchain.News provides the most detailed TRX price prediction, targeting a $0.32-$0.35 range within 2-4 weeks, citing oversold RSI conditions and the critical $0.29 support test. This aligns closely with our technical analysis showing TRX's current position near the lower Bollinger Band at $0.28.

DigitalCoinPrice offers a more aggressive TRON forecast, suggesting TRX could reach $0.61 by month-end despite the recent 17.12% monthly decline. However, this target appears overly optimistic given current technical conditions. Bitget's conservative $0.2983 short-term target based on minimal daily growth appears more realistic, while Investing.com's "Strong Sell" signal reflects the bearish momentum captured in our MACD analysis.

The consensus among credible analysts points toward consolidation around current levels before a potential recovery toward $0.32-$0.35, making this our base-case TRX price prediction scenario.

TRX Technical Analysis: Setting Up for Oversold Bounce
TRON's technical setup presents classic oversold conditions that often precede meaningful reversals. The RSI reading of 30.23 places TRX in neutral territory but approaching oversold levels, while the Stochastic indicators show extreme oversold conditions with %K at 8.22 and %D at 12.45.

The MACD histogram at -0.0011 confirms bearish momentum is waning, though it hasn't yet turned positive. TRX's position at 0.09 within the Bollinger Bands indicates the price is hugging the lower band support at $0.28, a level that has historically provided bounce opportunities.

Volume analysis reveals robust trading activity with $230 million in 24-hour Binance volume, suggesting institutional interest remains despite the price decline. The convergence of multiple support factors around $0.28-$0.29 creates a compelling risk-reward setup for our TRX price prediction.

TRON Price Targets: Bull and Bear Scenarios
Bullish Case for TRX
Our primary TRON forecast anticipates a recovery toward $0.33-$0.35 over the next 2-4 weeks. The first TRX price target sits at $0.31-$0.32, representing the convergence of the EMA 26 ($0.31) and SMA 50 ($0.32) resistance levels. Successfully reclaiming these moving averages would confirm the oversold bounce scenario.

The ultimate bullish TRX price target lies at $0.35, matching the strong resistance level and representing a 25% upside from current levels. This target requires breaking through the Bollinger Band upper resistance at $0.33, which would signal a shift from defensive consolidation to offensive momentum.

Bearish Risk for TRON
The bearish scenario for our TRX price prediction involves a breakdown below the critical $0.28 support level. Such a move would target the strong support at $0.27, representing approximately 4% downside risk. A more severe breakdown could test the psychological $0.25 level, though this appears unlikely given current oversold conditions.

Key risk factors include broader crypto market deterioration, regulatory concerns affecting TRON's ecosystem, or failure to hold the $0.29 pivot point that multiple analysts have identified as crucial.

Should You Buy TRX Now? Entry Strategy
The current technical setup suggests a favorable risk-reward profile for accumulating TRX positions. Our recommended entry strategy focuses on the $0.28-$0.295 range, with the strongest buy signal occurring on any dip toward $0.28 where Bollinger Band support converges with historical price action.

For risk management, a stop-loss below $0.27 (approximately 4% risk) provides protection against a meaningful breakdown while allowing room for normal volatility. Position sizing should remain conservative given the uncertain broader market environment, with a suggested allocation of 2-3% of portfolio value.

More aggressive traders might wait for confirmation above $0.31 before entering, sacrificing some upside potential for higher probability signals. This approach aligns with our medium-term TRON forecast targeting the $0.32-$0.35 range.

TRX Price Prediction Conclusion
Our comprehensive TRON technical analysis supports a cautiously optimistic TRX price prediction over the next month. The convergence of oversold indicators, critical support levels, and analyst consensus around $0.32-$0.35 targets creates a compelling setup for patient investors.

Confidence Level: Medium-High for the $0.31-$0.33 range, Medium for the full $0.35 target.

Key indicators to monitor include RSI moving above 40 (confirming oversold bounce), MACD histogram turning positive, and price action above the $0.31 resistance level. Our TRON forecast timeline expects initial moves within 1-2 weeks, with full target achievement possible within 2-4 weeks assuming broader market stability.

The critical decision point for this TRX price prediction lies at the $0.29 level – a definitive break below would invalidate the bullish scenario and suggest further consolidation or decline.

Bitcoin mining stocks surged up to 580% after pivoting to AI infrastructure provisionIREN secured $9.7 billion Microsoft deal and $5.8 billion Dell contract for AI data centersUS blocked Nvidia chip exports to China, benefiting domestic cryptocurrency miners turned AI providersBitcoin mining companies are experiencing unprecedented stock rallies as they pivot to AI infrastructure, with IREN securing a $9.7 billion data center agreement with Microsoft.

The shift comes as the US government blocked Nvidia’s advanced chip exports to China, creating a bifurcated market where domestic crypto miners leverage existing power infrastructure to meet surging AI demand.

Bitcoin Miners Navigate Infrastructure TransformationBitcoin miners have undergone a fundamental business model shift following the April 2024 halving event. As a result, mining profitability declined significantly. IREN, formerly Iris Energy, saw its stock plummet to $5.13 before announcing its strategic pivot. The company rebranded in November 2024, and its shares have since surged 580% year-to-date. Competitors Riot Platforms, TeraWulf, and Cipher Mining posted gains of approximately 100%, 160%, and 360% respectively.

The sector’s aggregate access to over 14 gigawatts of power capacity has emerged as a critical asset. Bitcoin miners possess established data center facilities with cooling systems and grid connections, typically requiring years to develop. IREN’s agreement with Microsoft for its Prince Rupert facility in Texas includes priority access to Nvidia GB300 GPUs, addressing the tech giant’s immediate capacity constraints.

“The bitcoin mining industry is demonstrating remarkable adaptability in transitioning from cryptocurrency validation to high-performance computing infrastructure,” noted a blockchain industry analyst who requested anonymity.

The transformation reflects broader market dynamics. AI workloads create unprecedented demand for computing resources and electrical power. Bitcoin miners are uniquely positioned to meet this demand.

AI Companies Target Crypto Mining AssetsMicrosoft’s $9.7 billion commitment to IREN validates crypto mining assets’ strategic value for AI deployment. The agreement follows IREN’s $5.8 billion GPU procurement contract with Dell Technologies. This establishes the company as a significant player in AI infrastructure provisioning. Amazon has similarly engaged with other bitcoin miners. The trend signals widespread recognition of the sector’s utility.

$IREN & $MSFT Deal, My Take

Arguably the best among all deals announced so far by peers… we didn't have to give away Queen's warrants or equity, we'll have 20% of prepayments to discount on years 3-5, ie not before, Dell most likely finances a large part of the $5.8B in GPUs… pic.twitter.com/jMHXHPIYw8

— 𝒰𝓂𝒷𝒾𝓈𝒶𝓂 (@Umbisam) November 3, 2025
The convergence stems from AI companies’ urgent need for computational capacity amid supply constraints. Moreover, traditional data center development timelines cannot match the accelerated pace of AI model deployment.

Bitcoin miners’ facilities offer immediate availability. They have existing power contracts and operational expertise in managing high-density computing environments. Investors now examine infrastructure metrics, including megawatt capacity, GPU allocation, and hyperscaler partnerships. Bitcoin miners have become de facto AI infrastructure providers.

Geopolitical Factors Strengthen Domestic Bitcoin MinersThe US government’s decision to block Nvidia’s Blackwell AI chip exports to China creates asymmetric advantages for domestic operators. The announcement came just before the Trump-Xi summit in Busan last week. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other officials cited national security concerns. They argued that advanced AI processors would significantly enhance China’s technological capabilities.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang repeatedly sought approval for the sales. He emphasized that China represents approximately half of the world’s AI researchers and is a crucial market for the company. The export restrictions, first implemented in 2022, have resulted in billions in foregone revenue for Nvidia and limited Chinese firms’ access to cutting-edge hardware.

BREAKING- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang slammed U.S. export bans on AI chips to China, saying they wiped out Nvidia’s market share — “from 95% to 0%.” China will not loose but develop alternatives.

Trump is now destroying US companies & rebellion has started pic.twitter.com/vr96uf0GUb

— Megh Updates 🚨™ (@MeghUpdates) October 20, 2025
The policy environment provides indirect benefits for US-based bitcoin miners. In contrast, Chinese mining companies face dual challenges. They contend with strict domestic cryptocurrency regulations and restricted access to advanced computing hardware, which limits their ability to replicate the American industry’s AI pivot.

The regulatory divergence positions US bitcoin miners as preferred partners for American technology companies. These companies seek secure, domestic supply chains for AI infrastructure.

Ripple has added to its recent run of acquisitions, buying the crypto wallet and custody firm Palisade in a bid to boost its offerings to institutions.

797

Crypto services company Ripple has acquired the crypto custody and wallet company Palisade to expand its business and institutional-focused offerings.

Ripple announced on Monday that Palisade’s wallet-as-a-service offering would be integrated into Ripple Custody, its crypto custody arm targeting banks, and stated that the acquisition aims to serve “fintechs, crypto-native firms, and corporates.”

“Corporates are poised to drive the next massive wave of crypto adoption,” Ripple president Monica Long said in a statement.

“Just as we’ve seen major banks go from observing to actively building in crypto, corporates are now entering the market, and they need trusted, licensed partners with out-of-the-box capabilities,” she added. 

The company has made several major acquisitions this year as the Securities and Exchange Commission dropped its long-running legal case against Ripple. The firm has quickly expanded its offerings to trading, stablecoins and crypto treasury companies.

Palisade to add to key Ripple servicesRipple said that Palisade’s wallet offering will also be integrated into its services from Ripple Payments, its cross-border payments service, and will “provide the core infrastructure for subscription payments or collection capabilities.”

Source: PalisadeIt added that the new tools would serve customers with “high-speed use cases” such as crypto to fiat on and off-ramps that can support multiple blockchains and interact with decentralized finance protocols.

Ripple has spent $4 billion on acquisitionsRipple said its latest acquisition marks approximately $4 billion that it has spent on acquiring crypto companies, with most of its larger deals occurring this year.

Earlier on Monday, Ripple announced that its US institutional clients would gain access to over-the-counter (OTC) transactions of multiple cryptocurrencies, thanks to its $1.25 billion acquisition of crypto-friendly prime broker Hidden Road, which was completed in April.

It comes after Ripple acquired the crypto treasury management system provider GTreasury in October for $1 billion, aiming to cash in on the current trend of crypto-holding public companies.

The company also acquired the stablecoin payments platform Rail in August, in a $200 million deal that is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year.

The model has proven attractive to institutional investors seeking Bitcoin exposure through fixed-income instruments, as its predecessor, Strategy, showed conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term value proposition.

Convertible Debt Model Scales Across Market CapsStrategy pioneered the convertible note approach for Bitcoin acquisition, establishing the blueprint that smaller companies now follow. Matador Technologies represents the next wave of companies adopting this model. The company secured a $100 million convertible note facility with ATW Partners, with an initial $10.5 million tranche dedicated exclusively to Bitcoin purchases.

The notes bear 8% annual interest, scaling down to 5% following a potential NASDAQ or NYSE listing. Matador targets acquiring 1,000 BTC by 2026 and 6,000 BTC by 2027. The long-term goal includes holding approximately 1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.

The convertible structure offers strategic advantages over traditional equity financing. Companies can raise capital without immediate shareholder dilution. Note holders receive downside protection through the debt instrument and upside participation via conversion rights.

Matador’s initial closing of $10.5 million will convert to approximately $0.53 per share. Conversion mechanics adjust based on the company’s listing venue and prevailing market prices. The facility includes provisions for up to $89.5 million in additional drawdowns. This enables scaled accumulation that is aligned with market conditions and Bitcoin price movements.

Volatile Markets Test Long-Term ConvictionStrategy’s Q3 2025 earnings revealed 640,808 BTC held, representing over 3% of all Bitcoin. Operating income reached $3.9 billion with net income of $2.8 billion for the quarter. Bitcoin per share increased from $39,716 in July to $41,370 in October 2025.

Both Matodor and Strategy are executing their Bitcoin strategies amid significant market turbulence. Nevertheless, they have maintained their accumulation plans. MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin per share continued growing through Q3 despite market headwinds. Matador closed its $100 million facility during this correction period.

The market dynamics reveal contrasting investor behaviors. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $191 million in outflows on November 3 alone, following $1.15 billion in withdrawals the previous week. This institutional retreat contrasts sharply with corporate treasurers, who view volatility as an accumulation opportunity rather than an exit signal. The divergence suggests that companies with convertible note facilities can take longer-term positions. They are less susceptible to short-term sentiment shifts affecting retail and institutional fund flows.

Matador’s decision to finalize its facility terms during market weakness mirrors Strategy’s historical pattern. The pioneer company has consistently added Bitcoin during price corrections. This counter-cyclical approach has proven beneficial as Bitcoin recovered from previous downturns.

Institutional Infrastructure Enables Broader AdoptionThe infrastructure supporting corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies has evolved considerably. Matador’s notes are secured by Bitcoin collateral equal to 150% of the initial principal amount. Subsequent closings require 100% collateral. This provides downside protection to note holders while allowing the company to leverage existing Bitcoin holdings.

Strategy achieved a B- issuer credit rating from S&P in Q3 2025. This milestone opens access to larger institutional capital pools. The company introduced four digital credit instruments, including STRC. These focus on providing tax-deferred dividends and high effective yields.

However, Strategy faces ongoing challenges. Traditional credit rating agencies do not yet recognize Bitcoin as capital. This affects credit assessments despite the company’s $83 billion market capitalization and substantial digital asset holdings.

ATW Partners’ involvement with Matador signals growing specialization in Bitcoin-focused corporate finance. The firm is a leading US-based institutional investor focused on innovative growth-stage financing. The emergence of dedicated capital providers indicates that the Bitcoin treasury model has matured into a recognized financing category.

Matador initially announced its Bitcoin treasury strategy in December 2024 with a $4.5 million initial allocation. Subsequently, the company expanded its approach through the convertible note facility.
