Artificial intelligence (AI) boom or bust, this stock should be thriving in a decade.

Is artificial intelligence (AI) really a lasting trend? Is the bubble about to burst?

AI accounts for a massive percentage of the market today. The eight most valuable companies in the U.S. are all AI companies, and they have market caps that dwarf nearly any other company.

Whether there's an AI bubble, boom, or bust, I recommend Amazon (AMZN 1.97%) as a top AI giant that should remain stable and growing over the next 10 years. Here's why.

More than AI
Ten years is a long time to correctly predict anything. However, if you're an investor, that's precisely what you want to be doing: finding stocks that you believe will be bigger and better in 10 years, turning your investment into a multibagger.

Although many experts predict that AI will continue to grow and add value to many different areas over the next few years, it could go in so many ways that no one anticipates. There are the classic black swan events, as well as just general change that's inevitable.

Amazon is at the forefront of AI innovation today, but because it also has a massive e-commerce business and an enormous cloud business, even without the AI part, it's a much safer bet for longevity and growth in 10 years than businesses only focused on AI.

Of course, the opportunity in AI is hugely compelling as well. AWS sales growth accelerated in the third quarter to 20% over last year, driven by interest in and engagement with AI. The AI business already has a $132 billion run rate, and that keeps increasing. Amazon should be in great shape over the next 10 years, and it looks like a great stock candidate today.

NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ohmium International Inc., a leading provider of cutting-edge, high-efficiency, and modular Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, has surpassed the PEM electrolyzer industry's 2030 target of 10 GW per ton to attain an 18 GW per ton iridium utilization rate. Ohmium has made significant technological advancements which have resulted in reducing its iridium usage by 50% in its Lotus electrolyzer, Mark 2. This enhances the cost-competitiveness of green hydrogen production by reducing the overall cost of its PEM electrolyzers, which have been impacted by the cost of the precious metal, iridium.

Ohmium Breaks Barriers: Exceeds 2030 Industry Targets of 10 GW/ton to Achieve 18 GW/ton Iridium Utilization

Share
Dr. Chock Karuppaiah, Ohmium Chief Science and Technology Officer, said, "We've made significant strides in reducing iridium usage in our PEM electrolyzers, exceeding the 2030 industry target of 10 GW per ton. We've achieved a utilization rate of 18 GW per ton. This innovation is crucial, as iridium is one of the most expensive materials in electrolyzer manufacturing.”

Dr. Markus Tacke, Ohmium Chief Executive Officer, added, "We're proud of the team's hard work and achievements. By reducing iridium usage and leveraging our high system efficiency (48kWh/kg), Ohmium is lowering the cost of green hydrogen production and enhancing the overall cost-efficiency of our green hydrogen solutions.”

Ohmium endeavors to further optimize its technology, with goals to double the utilization efficiency to 36 GW/ton or less within another year. This progress is expected to move Ohmium closer to its target of near zero iridium usage within a decade. The company's achievement represents a significant milestone in the development of PEM electrolyzer technology, paving the way for more widespread adoption of green hydrogen solutions and supporting the global transition to a low-carbon economy.

About Ohmium

Ohmium designs, manufactures, and deploys modular, scalable Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers that enable cost-competitive green hydrogen production. The company’s suite of electrochemical products helps customers achieve their sustainable energy goals across various industrial, transportation, and energy projects. Headquartered in the United States with manufacturing facilities in India and operations worldwide, Ohmium has a global green hydrogen project pipeline exceeding 2 GW across three continents. In 2023, Ohmium raised $250 Million in Series C financing, led by TPG Rise Climate.

Tertiary Minerals PLC (AIM:TYM, OTC:TTIRF) has reported progress in its Phase 3 drilling at Target A1, part of the Mushima North project in Zambia, where it has so far completed four reverse circulation holes for a total of 481 metres.

Field activities were, however, paused earlier than expected amid heavy rains.

Tertiary told investors that preliminary pXRF work indicated broad copper intervals, including a best intercept of 95m at 0.41% copper from 10m downhole.

"Whilst the pause of the planned drill programme due to the onset of heavy rains earlier than anticipated is frustrating, the preliminary results from the first few holes are extremely encouraging, have extended the area of known mineralisation in the north and at depth, and support our current exploration model," said managing director Richard Belcher.

He added that additional activities originally scheduled for 2026 would now be brought forward.

The company recorded visible secondary copper mineralisation and high indicative silver values of up to 246g/t, consistent with previous pXRF work. Belcher said these findings would underpin the next phase of technical studies, noting:

"These programmes include the JORC Exploration Target work, which will provide valuable guidance on the resource potential of Target A1 in terms of a range of tonnages and grades, as well as further mineralogical studies to better understand the mineralisation and deportment of the metals of interest."

Fieldwork will resume after the rainy season, with a further drill campaign planned for the start of the dry period.

In the period, the exploration company confirmed a helium discovery at the southern Rukwa project following an extended well test at the ITW-1 well, which recorded sustained helium concentrations above 5%. The project advanced to the development stage after the formal award of a mining licence.

Smith highlighted that the company has further proved up the southern Rukwa project in the year as well as diversify its portfolio into the United States."

He added that work programmes in the year ahead are expected to deliver material operational progress.

Helium One expanded its portfolio through the acquisition of a 50% interest in the Galactica-Pegasus helium and CO₂ project in Colorado.

As chief executive, Lorna Blaisse said: "We have proved up the potential that we have always believed is inherent in our southern Rukwa Project through the EWT … This is a very exciting time for Helium One.

"We have significant work programmes planned across both our projects which we expect to advance considerably in the year ahead and deliver first revenues to the company."

The pre-revenue group reported a comprehensive loss of US$5.5 million for the year, and ended the period with US$3.15 million of cash.

Bitcoin is trading steadily around the $100,000 mark, showing little movement over the past few days. The market feels slow and quiet, but this calm could be setting the stage for the next big move.

One market analyst said that Bitcoin’s price has now moved independently of the M2 money supply. This disconnect could last for a while, as the Federal Reserve isn’t expected to add fresh liquidity until next year.

When that happens, Bitcoin might start climbing again. For now, the price will likely stay in a range between $90,000 and $120,000.

Calm Before the Next MoveThe $100K area has turned into an important zone for Bitcoin. It’s acting as a solid base where buyers have repeatedly stepped in. On the weekly chart, Bitcoin is sitting close to long-term support levels, including the 55-week moving average and an RSI level that has held firm in the past.

Oversold Levels Bring Hope for a TurnaroundBitcoin’s technical setup is starting to look heavy but stable. The weekly RSI is sitting in a support zone, and the stochastic RSI is near the bottom range — both conditions that have, in earlier cycles, marked moments when Bitcoin found its footing. The “death cross,” which usually scares investors, has in this cycle often been followed by rebounds rather than crashes.

Price Zones to WatchRight now, Bitcoin is bouncing between $103,000 and $112,000. If it pushes above $112,000, a short-term rally could take shape. On the other hand, if it slips below $103,000, the next stop could be deeper support near $99,000. For now, this movement remains rangebound and quiet.

Even though the action feels dull, this kind of sideways trading has often come before larger trends. Bitcoin holding above $100K shows that the market still sees this area as strong support. A clear breakout, up or down, will decide where the next phase begins.

Canary Capital has filed to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking the price of a memecoin called Mog Coin, briefly lifting the price of the little-known token.

In a regulatory filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday, Canary said its ETF would hold Mog Coin (MOG), which it described as a memecoin “associated with the ‘Mog’ internet meme.”

“Because of its association with the ‘Mog’ meme culture and its community-driven branding, some consider MOG both a cultural statement and a digital collector’s item,” Canary said in its filing.

Asset managers have flooded the SEC with ETF filings tied to increasingly speculative crypto tokens, and the regulator approved generic ETF listing standards in September that reduced the barriers to launching crypto products.

MOG climbs on ETF filingMog Coin is worth just fractions of a cent and has declined by over 80% in the past 12 months. However, Canary’s filing saw its price briefly spike, which has since settled to a gain of 5.5% over the past day.

Mog Coin’s price over the past day saw a spike on Canary’s ETF filing. Source: NansenThe token’s value was worth under $140 million earlier on Wednesday, before jumping to a peak of over $169.5 million on Canary’s filing. It has since settled to a market value of $146.3 million.

Nansen data shows the token was created in July 2023 and just over 39,000 wallets currently hold MOG, with the 100 largest tokenholders controlling 53% of its supply.

Canary said that the promoters and community tied to MOG “have not announced any particular blockchain-based utility for MOG beyond its branding and cultural associations.”

It added that there was “no guarantee such uses or benefits will materialize or that the cultural goodwill surrounding MOG will grow or be sustained over any period of time.”

Canary said the ETF may also have to hold up to 5% of its assets in Ether (ETH) to help pay for transaction fees on the blockchain, as the token is native to the network.

SEC set to review speculative crypto ETFsCanary has filed to launch a host of ETF tracking altcoins, including one that tracks SEI, the native token of the Sei network, and Official Trump (TRUMP), President Donald Trump’s memecoin.

Last month, the asset manager launched ETFs tied to Hedera (HBAR) and Litecoin (LTC) and its bid for an XRP (XRP) ETF could hit the market as soon as Thursday, which would make it the first in the US to directly hold the token.

The SEC is now expected to resume its review process for crypto ETFs after Trump signed a funding bill passed by the House on Wednesday, bringing an end to a 43-day government shutdown, the longest in history.

The SUI Network is gaining traction thanks to recent developments in its ecosystem. This includes the success of Astros’ Perp DEX, which surpassed $100 million in trading volume a week after going live. The project also announced a native stablecoin called USDsui.

Astros Perp DEX Hits Over $100 Million in Trading Volume
In late October, Astros launched its perpetual DEX on the SUI Network. Within days, the cumulative trading volume of its platform surpassed $100 million. This would indicate strong user adoption.

To encourage participation, Astros implemented the “Ores Lucky Draw” every day, based on users’ trading activity. These Astros Ores tokens are one of the main components in rewarding users within the platform. They serve as a ticket for future ecosystem benefits and airdrops.

With Astros’ launch, SUI is competing in DeFi’s most lucrative domain. That sector recently hit $1 trillion in monthly trading volume like Aster saw incredible growth. Perp DEXs make up more than a quarter of the global derivatives market.

“Perp DEXs have become the ultimate litmus test for a blockchain’s ability to support real financial infrastructure,” said Jerry Liu, founder of Astros. “Sui’s performance advantage gives us the foundation to compete at the highest level.”

Built natively on SUI Network, Astros enjoys direct integration with NAVI Protocol’s lending pool worth US$1 billion. According to Liu, the Astros Perp DEX is changing DeFi’s trajectory. Unlike earlier iterations of decentralized finance that operated through isolated lending or swapping protocols,

Major crypto wallets have already partnered with the Astros team, including OKX, Binance, KuCoin, and Gate.io, for broad accessibility to users in the SUI ecosystem.

SUI Network Launches Native Stablecoin, USDsui
In a blog post published earlier, SUI Network announced the release of its first native stablecoin, USDsui. It was developed in collaboration with Bridge, the company which Stripe backs. USDsui will be important for Sui’s on-chain economy. It would offer a compliant stablecoin to developers and users integrated throughout DeFi protocols.

— Sui (@SuiNetwork) November 12, 2025

Built on Bridge’s Open Issuance platform, USDsui benefits from enterprise-grade infrastructure. It is designed for payments, cross-border remittances, and peer-to-peer transactions.

“With this launch, Sui’s digital assets are connected with global commerce and fintech rails, making Sui a leading player for the next phase of on-chain economic activity,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Mysten Labs.

Bridge CEO Zach Abrams added that Open Issuance “removes the complexity and long timelines associated with stablecoin creation.” It would let networks such as Sui scale rapidly with robust, regulatory-aligned stable assets. The platform joins Hyperliquid, which also launched its own stablecoin in September.

Between August and September 2025 alone, the network processed approximately $2.6 billion in TVL and $412 billion in stablecoin transaction volume. The platform has become one of the most active ecosystems for digital asset settlement.

XRP, the native cryptocurrency of the Ripple network, appears ready for another bullish wave after holding firm above the crucial $2.35 support level. Following a brief correction, the digital asset is regaining momentum as traders anticipate another upward push, potentially targeting the $2.60 zone in the coming days.

XRP Holds Ground After Minor Correction
After reaching a recent high near $2.58, XRP experienced a mild pullback, mirroring the broader correction seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum. The token dropped below the $2.55 and $2.50 resistance areas before finding solid buying interest around $2.32. This level has now become a key support zone, with bulls stepping in to prevent further losses.

The dip also brought the price below the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from $2.24 to $2.58, signaling short-term weakness. However, the resilience of buyers around $2.32 suggests that the market remains optimistic about XRP’s medium-term outlook.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading close to $2.42 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average (SMA). This consolidation phase indicates that traders are waiting for a decisive breakout before committing to new positions.

Technical Indicators Hint at a Potential Upside
On the hourly chart, XRP/USD faces a bearish trend line resistance near the $2.43 mark, a level that has repeatedly capped upward movements. A successful break above this resistance could trigger a strong rally toward the $2.50 level, which remains the next significant obstacle for buyers.

If bulls manage to push past $2.50, the momentum could extend toward the $2.58 resistance zone, effectively retesting the previous local high. A sustained move above $2.58 might open the door for XRP to challenge $2.65 and potentially $2.72, which could act as the next major targets for traders eyeing continued upside.

Momentum indicators, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), are beginning to show signs of recovery after hovering near the neutral zone. This shift points to a potential change in sentiment as buyers slowly regain control.

Key Support Levels to Watch
In case of another downturn, initial support lies near $2.34, followed by a stronger base around $2.32. A clear move below this level could invalidate the current bullish setup and trigger a deeper correction. The next support level would then emerge near $2.25, marking a full retracement toward the previous swing zone.

Should selling pressure intensify, XRP might revisit the $2.20 support or even dip toward $2.12, although such a move currently appears less likely given the prevailing bullish sentiment across the broader crypto market.

Bulls Eye $2.50 Breakout for Next Leg Higher
The broader trend still favors buyers as long as XRP maintains its position above the $2.35–$2.32 range. A convincing breakout above $2.50 would likely attract fresh buying interest from traders and short-term speculators. This could push the token toward the upper resistance cluster between $2.58 and $2.65, where some profit-taking might occur before the next upward attempt.

Market analysts note that XRP’s performance has been relatively stable compared to other major altcoins, largely due to growing investor confidence following Ripple’s progress in regulatory clarity and institutional adoption. Continued accumulation near the $2.35 support reflects faith in the token’s long-term value proposition, especially among holders expecting renewed momentum toward the end of the year.

Broader Market Context
The recent recovery in XRP also aligns with the improved outlook for the broader cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin’s ability to stay above the $108,000 zone and Ethereum’s steady performance above $3,400 have contributed to a more positive sentiment across digital assets.

If these leading cryptocurrencies continue to stabilize, XRP could benefit from renewed investor confidence and capital inflows. Historical price patterns suggest that XRP often follows Bitcoin’s trend but tends to move more sharply once bullish momentum takes hold.

What Traders Should Expect Next
In the short term, traders will be watching the $2.43–$2.50 resistance range closely. A breakout above this zone could confirm a bullish reversal and pave the way for XRP to test $2.58 and $2.65 in the coming sessions. Conversely, a failure to break above resistance might keep the price in a consolidation range between $2.32 and $2.45 before the next decisive move.

As long as the $2.32 support holds, market structure remains positive, with the potential for another leg higher. However, a breakdown below this level could shift momentum in favor of sellers, bringing the price back toward $2.25 or even $2.20.

Outlook Remains Positive Above $2.35
Despite recent fluctuations, XRP’s overall market sentiment remains constructive. Technical signals, combined with strong buying interest at lower levels, suggest that the cryptocurrency could soon resume its upward trajectory. If momentum builds above $2.50, traders may see a move toward $2.60 and potentially higher targets by the end of the week.

For now, the bulls remain firmly in control as long as XRP stays above the $2.35 support zone. Investors will be watching closely to see if the token can break through its resistance barriers and reclaim its position as one of the best-performing large-cap assets in the market.

Crypto prices today are showing early signs of stabilization as the prolonged U.S. government shutdown comes to an end.

Summary

Crypto markets may recover after the 43-day U.S. government shutdown ended, though extreme fear still dominates sentiment.
Liquidity and institutional flows were heavily disrupted during the shutdown.
Temporary budget may ease near-term pressures, but persistent inflation could continue to weigh on crypto.

The total crypto market capitalization has fallen 0.6% over the past 24 hours but is edging higher. At press time, Bitcoin was down 1.4% to $101,843, Ethereum rose 0.5% to $3,465, XRP gained 2.8% to $2.46, and Solana fell 0.7% to $153.

Investor sentiment remains cautious. Extreme fear is indicated by the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which fell nine points to 15, its lowest level since April. CoinGlass data shows that 24-hour liquidations rose 26% to $569 million while total open interest dropped 0.6% to $142 billion.

With an average relative strength index of 45, the crypto market may consolidate before making a significant move.

Temporary relief from the U.S. shutdown
On Nov. 12, the 43-day U.S. government shutdown came to an end after President Trump signed a temporary budget. The bill was approved by the House earlier in the day, reopening federal agencies and resuming the flow of economic data. By lowering uncertainty and enabling markets to regain some stability, this move might offer short-term respite.

Liquidity had been severely disrupted by the shutdown, which started on Oct. 1. Treasury repo rates rose 18–22 basis points as banks hoarded cash while federal agencies were closed. Additionally, the lack of important economic data increased market uncertainty. Due to the postponement of the October CPI, PPI, retail sales, and nonfarm payroll reports, the Federal Reserve was placed in a “data-dependent” hold.

Markets cut the odds of a December rate cut from 92% to 58% in just a few weeks. Bitcoin’s 30-day realized volatility spiked to 78%, the highest since the FTX collapse, making every headline a potential trigger for market swings.

Moreover, institutional flows stalled. New ETF approvals were delayed due to Securities and Exchange Commission staff furloughs, and risk appetite sharply declined. The correlation between cryptocurrency and the Nasdaq increased to 0.88, and institutions decreased their exposure as stocks wavered.

Lingering macro and market pressures
Despite the shutdown resolution, market and macro pressures remain. Momentum is still being slowed by recent liquidity shortages and waning interest in industries like tokenization and real-world assets. Stablecoins have stayed steady while other sectors, like AI and meme tokens, have seen sharp drops.

Bearish sentiment has also kept markets quiet, and open interest is still 20% below recent highs. The next funding deadline is Jan. 30, 2026, so the temporary budget only offers a temporary solution. According to analysts, long-term initiatives and pro-crypto laws might boost confidence, but short-term volatility is probably going to continue.

A judge at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has imposed a worldwide freeze on $456 million in assets tied to the alleged misappropriation of TrueUSD (TUSD) stablecoin reserves, a case linked to Tron founder Justin Sun’s earlier bailout of the token.

Key Takeaways:

A Dubai court has ordered a worldwide freeze on $456 million in assets linked to the alleged diversion of TrueUSD reserves.
The injunction targets Dubai-based Aria Commodities DMCC, which allegedly received the funds instead of the designated reserve account.
Tron founder Justin Sun previously covered the $456 million shortfall to protect TUSD holders.

H.E. Justice Michael Black KC of the DIFC Digital Economy Court ordered the continuation of both proprietary and worldwide injunctions against Dubai-based Aria Commodities DMCC, barring the firm from transferring or dealing with any assets up to the value of $456 million.

Dubai Judge Extends Global Freeze on $456M Linked to TrueUSD CaseThe order was issued in an amended judgment on October 17.

“I direct that the following injunctions shall remain continued until further order of the Court: a worldwide freezing injunction, prohibiting the First Defendant [Aria DMCC] from removing from Dubai any of its assets which are in Dubai up to the value of USD 456,000,000,” Justice Black declared in the ruling.

The decision follows a long-running dispute between Techteryx Ltd, the operator of the TrueUSD stablecoin, and several financial institutions, including Aria Commodities DMCC, Mashreq Bank PSC, Emirates NBD Bank PJSC, and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank PJSC.

According to the case filings, Techteryx, which acquired TrueUSD in 2020, was unable to redeem a large portion of its US dollar reserves managed by First Digital Trust between 2022 and 2023.

Investigations revealed that the funds, instead of being held in the proper Cayman Islands-based reserve account, were allegedly redirected by First Digital Trust to Aria Commodities DMCC in Dubai.

Counsel for Techteryx, Al Tamimi & Co, stated that the reserves were originally custodied in Hong Kong, and between May 2021 and March 2022, around $468 million was said to have been invested in the Aria Commodity Finance Fund, though nearly $456 million was transferred directly to Aria Commodities DMCC.

The diverted funds gave rise to claims of breach of trust and knowing receipt, prompting the proprietary injunction and the subsequent global asset freeze.

Justin Sun, listed in the filings as an ultimate beneficial owner of Techteryx, previously announced a full bailout of all public TUSD holders, covering the $456 million shortfall allegedly caused by the diversion.

Justin Sun Vows Global Pursuit of $456M in Missing TrueUSD FundsIn a post on X, Sun praised the DIFC Court’s decision, noting that Techteryx continues to track and recover the missing funds.

Six months after our announcement to bail out all public holders of TUSD, where US$456m of US Dollar reserves were siphoned-off by a group of fraudsters involving ARIA group, First Digital Trust and Legacy Trust, among others, I am pleased to see that progress has been made in…

— H.E. Justin Sun 👨‍🚀 🌞 (@justinsuntron) November 13, 2025
“This serves as a strong notice to all persons knowingly involved in global scam operations of ARIA. You can run but you cannot hide; we will come after you wherever you are,” Sun wrote.

The DIFC Court’s injunctions will remain in effect until further orders are issued, as Techteryx pursues the restitution of the missing TUSD reserves.

Hyperliquid reportedly took a bad debt of $4.9 million due to alleged POPCAT manipulation.Updated Nov 13, 2025, 6:49 a.m. Published Nov 13, 2025, 6:48 a.m.

Decentralized derivatives platform Hyperliquid suffered a $4.9 million loss Wednesday after a carefully orchestrated manipulation of the POPCAT token, according to data shared by blockchain sleuth Lookonchain.

The attacker withdrew $3 million in USDC from centralized exchange OKX, splitting it across 19 wallets to create a massive leveraged long position valued between $20 million and $30 million in POPCAT.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

The attacker then placed $20 million buy order near $0.21, pulling in liquidity and pushing prices higher. Once the position was sufficiently inflated, the attacker abruptly pulled the buy orders, causing a crash in POPCAT prices, which led to cascading liquidations of leveraged positions, including the attacker’s own $3 million collateral, which was gone in seconds.

Hyperliquid’s community-owned liquidity vault (HLP), which acts as a safety net for liquidations, had to absorb the remaining losses after collateral was exhausted, leading to a bad debt of $4.9 million, deepening the impact on the leading perpetual focused decentralized exchange.

CoinDesk reached out to Hyperliquid for comment via X.

One market participant described the episode as "peak degen warfare."

"Someone torched 3M just to nuke liquidity and drag HLP into a 5M loss. Classic manufactured demand illusion followed by a flush. Nothing magical here. Just an attacker exploiting thin depth and automated LP absorption," the participant said on X.

Bitcoin price rebounds off the ascending channel’s lower trendline, hinting at a possible bottom.NUPL revisits its April bottom level, where Bitcoin last launched a 53% rally.A thick cost-basis wall above $109,683 remains the level Bitcoin must clear to confirm a real launch from the bottom. Bitcoin price corrected almost 4% over the past 24 hours before rebounding above $102,100 at press time. Even with a 30-day loss near 9.7%, several market signals now line up in a way that suggests a possible Bitcoin bottom may be forming. And it might just help BTC move towards a new all-time high.

The structure is not confirmed yet, but the clustering of signals is stronger than in recent weeks.

Ascending Channel Support Meets a Fresh Bottom SignalBitcoin has traded inside an ascending channel since April. The lower trendline has acted as reliable support since early spring, and the latest bounce from this line on November 4 keeps the channel intact. When bottoms form inside rising structures, the channel floor is usually the first place where strength appears.

Trading Pattern Still Bullish: TradingViewAt the same time, NUPL — a metric that shows whether holders sit on unrealized profit or loss — has dropped to about 0.44. This is near the lowest zone since April 8, when NUPL touched 0.42 and marked the exact cycle bottom. After that, Bitcoin rallied from about $76,700 to above $116,900 by late May. That’s almost a 53% surge.

New Bitcoin Bottom Signal Flashes: GlassnodeNow, the same combination appears again: a bounce from the channel floor and NUPL returning to its historical bottom zone. That is why traders think a possible bottom is starting upward.

But just like someone looking up at a summit, Bitcoin now faces one strong ridge directly above — the level blocking the view.

Cost-Basis Heatmap Reveals the Level Blocking the Bitcoin Price BreakoutThe cost-basis heatmap shows where the largest pockets of BTC supply sit. These pockets often block upside moves because many holders react when the price returns to their entry levels. One of the strongest clusters now sits between $109,895 and $110,192, backed by 117,078 BTC. Other strong BTC clusters exist before that, but this zone has the deepest of colors, especially in the near term.

Key BTC Resistance Zone: GlassnodeThat zone also lines up with the 0.618 Fibonacci level on the Bitcoin price chart, at $109,683, one of the strongest technical resistance points. Until Bitcoin clears this band, the possible bottom cannot fully convert into a recovery. Every bounce under this level might eventually fail.

A daily close above $109,683 would be the first signal that the ridge is cracking. A stronger confirmation comes above $112,652, which aligns with the 0.786 Fibonacci area. Above that, Bitcoin can target $116,435 and even the previous peak near $126,301.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: TradingViewIf BTC price fails again and drops back to the channel floor, the pattern still holds. But if Bitcoin breaks below the lower trendline, the bottom setup gets invalidated. In that case, price could slide toward $98,758, or even lower, which would weaken the entire bottom hypothesis.

For now, the ascending channel, the fresh NUPL bottom zone, and the heatmap cluster all point to the same idea: a possible Bitcoin price bottom is staring at a peak — but one major level still blocks the view.

After an impressive rally since early 2025, Solana (SOL) is now approaching a critical zone, both technically and psychologically.

Journalist

Posted: November 13, 2025

Key Takeaways
Will Solana bulls defend the $150 psychological support level?
They have successfully kept the bears at bay at the $150 level over the past week, but a price dip to $140 is imminent.

What price trend would follow this expected dip?
It would depend on Bitcoin’s ability to stay above $98k-$100k, but a bounce from $140 is possible.

Solana [SOL] has suffered a nearly 10% drawdown from the week’s high at $171.9, and was trading at $155 at the time of writing.

Neither its edge in the stablecoin market nor the high monthly revenue Solana generated has been enough to start a long-term uptrend.

Source: SOL/USDT on TradingView

On the 1-day chart, SOL had broken down from the symmetrical triangle pattern and lost control of the $180 support zone in the first week of November. Since then, the price has made a series of lower highs and lower lows, characteristic of a downtrend.

The OBV indicator also trended downward. This indicates that the decline was driven by sustained selling pressure rather than a temporary liquidity hunt.

The MFI agreed with the seller dominance and remained below 50, showing that the momentum was bearish, and selling pressure was prevalent.

The lower timeframes signaled a potential dip to $140 for SOL

Source: SOL/USDT on TradingView

On the 1-hour chart, the $145-$155 demand zone has been important since the 4th of November. At the time of writing, the same support zone was being retested.

With Bitcoin [BTC] also hovering at the $102k mark at the time of writing, it was likely that this demand zone would be lost if the wider market experienced another sell-off.

The technical indicators did not promise a bullish reversal. The OBV continued to decline, showing weak buying pressure even when the price bounced. The MFI was below 20, indicating oversold conditions.

The 1-month look-back period heatmap showed that a deeper price correction was highly likely. The $144 and $140 were key magnetic zones and relatively close to the price.

They would likely drag SOL prices lower before a bounce can occur. Overall, the short-term Solana price prediction is bearish.

A dip to $140 is likely in the coming days, and with liquidity extending to $120, traders should brace for continued bearish pressure.

Based on the above post, sentiment mirrors a broader investor trend of disillusionment during accumulation phases. ClairHawk Capital explained that such patterns often accompany sideways, illogical, and bearish price action even when fundamentals are strong.

“They all do the same exact behavior when in accumulation…big money can’t just buy all at once and they also raise money by pumping distractions and memes and use that money to continue accumulating the asymmetric plays with the extra money as long as the public and retail are oblivious…once enough has accumulated, price action will start breaking out and enter price discovery,” the analyst explained.

On November 12, 2025, Bearing Point Capital, LLC disclosed a sale of 22,893 shares of Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM +5.25%), reducing its position by an estimated $4.7 million.

What happenedAccording to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated November 12, 2025, Bearing Point Capital sold 22,893 shares of Sprouts Farmers Market during the third quarter.

The position's value fell to $1.86 million from a level previously representing 1.2% of fund AUM.

Post-trade, SFM comprised 0.3% of the fund's $580.98 million in reportable assets.

What else to knowThe firm's SFM holding decreased and now represents 0.32% of Bearing Point's 13F AUM after the sale.

Bearing Point Capital's top holdings as of quarter-end: 

Nvidia (NVDA +0.33%): $35.5 million (6.1% of AUM)Apple (AAPL 0.65%): $23.5 million (4.1% of AUM)Microsoft (MSFT +0.48%): $18.3 million (3.1% of AUM)Alphabet (GOOGL 1.70%) (GOOG 1.48%): $15.6 million (2.7% of AUM)Broadcom (AVGO +0.93%): $14.9 million (2.6% of AUM)As of November 11, 2025, shares of Sprouts Farmers Market were priced at $78.02, down 47% over the past year, underperforming the S&P 500 by 60 percentage points.

Sprouts has grown sales by 6.5% annually over the last five years.

The company's shares remain 56% below their 52-week high.

The company differentiates itself through a focus on fresh, natural, and organic products, appealing to a growing segment of health-oriented shoppers.

Its scale and curated product mix position it competitively within the consumer defensive sector.

Foolish takeBearing Point Capital opened its position in Sprouts Farmers Market during the second quarter of 2025 at an average price of $165 per share.

Just one quarter later, the firm sold over half of its Sprouts shares at an average price of $109, taking a pretty hefty loss on its transactions.

While it's impossible to tell what exactly Bearing Point's reasoning for the quick change of heart is, Sprouts looks like an interesting "buy-the-dip" opportunity, in my Foolish opinion.

From the start of 2024 to early 2025, Sprouts' share price went from roughly $50 per share to $180. Similarly, its P/E ratio went from around 20 to nearly 50.

Following its recent 50% plunge from this all-time high share price, however, Sprouts is back to trading at a relatively cheap 16 times earnings.

Despite what this drop would imply, Sprouts just grew revenue, same-store sales, and earnings per share by 13%, 6%, and 34% in its latest quarter.

Sprouts is far from a "broken" stock.

Armed with consistent free cash flows, a new $1 billion share repurchase plan (versus a market cap of only $8 billion), and a tailwind from customers looking for healthier food options working in its favor, Sprouts Farmers Market looks like an exceptional "buy-the-dip" investment at today's reasonable valuation.
