Posted: March 31, 2020

The prolonged downward pressure in the cryptocurrency market could come to an end as the trapped bulls gear up for much-needed upward price momentum.

Chainlink:

Chainlink recently announced teaming up with cryptocurrency lender Celsius. Its native LINK token has been one of the best-performing assets during the 2020 crypto rally. This trend did not last long as it flipped bearish after the market downturn in the second week of March. However, there has been a reversal in this pattern.

At press time,  LINK held a market cap of $746.4 million with a price of $2.13. It was up by 1.48% while registering a trading volume of $203.7 million over a period of 24-hours.

According to David Waslen, CEO of HedgeTrade, the project is essentially based on price predictions stored on the Ethereum network and driven by the smart contracts. A relatively new project, HedgeTrade is planning to add more assets for the traders on its platform.

In terms of its price, HEDG token was trading at $1.62 after rising by 1.63% over the last 24-hours. At press time, the 21st largest cryptocurrency registered a market cap of $467.1 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $456,041.

Resistance: $1.76, $2.07

Support: $1.52, $1.29

Klinger Oscillator: With the signal line below the leading line, KO indicator suggested a bullish phase for the token.

Most of the top 50 altcoins recorded incredible recoveries over the past 2-3 days. While this did not hold good for all coins, as most of them were still suffering from the losses incurred last month, a few coins like Nano and HedgeTrade were actually on a bullish run. A few other alts like Stellar, Lisk and Ontology, on the other hand, were recording a short-term bearish run.

Stellar

Stellar has been doing fine in terms of price. Since the 55% drop on 12 March, the coin has been on an upward run, maintaining constant support at $0.036. However, the attached chart indicated the formation of a symmetrical triangle, one highlighting a 40% chance for a downward breakout

The CMF indicator lay at -0.04, hinting at a downward price outbreak. However, there were 60% chances of an upward breakout; if in this case it turns out to be true, the price might rise to reach the resistance at $0.04.

In other news, the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) is contributing to fight COVID-19 by launching a charity fund;  XLM tokens are being accepted as donations by several charitable organizations, including UNICEF and The Tor Project.

Resistance: $0.046, $0.054, $0,061
Support: $0.036, $0.033, $0.031

Press time price: $0.04
Market Cap: $859,059,328
24-hour Trading Volume: $434,312,699

Nano

Like Stellar, Nano, after the 57% drop on 12 March, maintained a stable price level for over a week. At the time of writing, the price was maintained its support at $0.42.  The chart for Nano highlighted the formation of an ascending triangle, indicating an upward breakout in the market. The Awesome oscillator indicator also confirmed the upward breakout as it lay above the zero line, at press time.

Resistance: $0.55, $0.72, $0.84
Support: $0.42, $0.38, $0.34

Press time price: $0.54
Market Cap: $72,792,278
24-hour Trading Volume: $4,864,497

HedgeTrade

HedgeTrade, with a circulating supply of 288,208,798 HEDG, was ranked 22nd on CoinMarketCap. As seen in the attached chart, the coin had been trending upwards since mid-December 2019, but the market crash on 12 March pushed down the price by 40%.

However, the coin has been trending upwards lately, and there was the formation of a potential ascending triangle, one signaling a further upward breakout. Additionally, the Stochastic RSI indicator was over 80, signaling an ‘overbought’ situation.

Resistance: $2.1, $2.8
Support: $1.47, $1.28

Press time price: $1.75
Market Cap: $510,521,455
24-hour Trading Volume: $648,054

Table of contents

This week showed good sign of strength for the cryptocurrency market as many different projects continue to post solid gains; DeFi derivative platforms and Web3 mobile tokens were leading the way with double-digit growth. Specifically, Seeker (SKR), Decred (DCR), MYX Finance (MYX), and Hyperliquid (HYPE) had strong performances at over 12% gain.

Seeker Token Surges on Solana Mobile Momentum With Seeker (SKR) increasing a whopping 52% this past week to give a total market cap of more than $130 million; it is now one of the most significant players in mobile Web3 with a price of about $0.02. Launched on January 21, 2026, this native token for Solana Mobile’s second-generation smartphone ecosystem has weathered storms and continues to grow.

Its value is primarily due to its specific utility in the Seeker device ecosystem, such as providing users with the ability to participate in governance, receiving 23.8% annual staking rewards, and access to an SKR commission-free app store. Airdropped nearly 2 billion SKR coins to over 100,000 Seeker smartphone users, as well as 188 early developers of apps.

The Seeker ecosystem produced 9 million transactions and $2.6 billion in total for 265+ dApps during its inaugural season, as per Cryptopolitan. The number of transactions shows a demonstrated level of actual users engaging with the ecosystem that is not only being used for speculation.

Decred and Privacy Focused Cryptocurrencies Gain Traction During the last week, Decred (DCR) was able to gain a lot of investor interest as it posted a 35.6% weekly gain due to a resurgence of interest from investors in cryptocurrency projects that are centered on protecting the privacy of their users from financial surveillance. In addition to being a veteran project within the industry, Decred also incorporates both a POW and POS consensus model in order to create an innovative governance structure.

Decred (approx $23.79) is experiencing increased activity with institutional research reports bringing attention to the hybrid consensus model. The recent implementation of atomic swap technology and improved privacy features via StakeShuffle will provide users who want to send transactions that aren’t censored with another source of fiat currency. Approximately 60% of Decred’s total supply is currently staked, reflecting the community’s robust confidence in Decred.

MYX Finance and Hyperliquid Lead DeFi Derivatives Revival The rise in market value for MYX Finance (+17.76%) and Hyperliquid (+12.78%) indicates a notable shift towards decentralized derivatives trading systems. They are the new generation of DeFi (Decentralized Finance) infrastructure that combines the transparency and security of decentralization with performance metrics used by central exchanges.

MYX Finance, priced at $5.99 per unit and boasting a market capitalization of $1.5 billion, stands out as a frontrunner in the derivatives trading arena. The V2 upgrade of the platform promises zero slippage and cross chain-capable trading. Therefore, the price feeds of derivatives trades will be more reliable due to Chainlink Data Streams being integrated into the platform.

Both companies show a trend in the marketplace for products that have an established use case and a business model for generating income. On February 4, 2026, Hyperliquid made its first direct connection with institutions, allowing traditional finance businesses to trade on-chain derivatives through a licensed counter-party.

Conclusion This week’s top gainers have a diverse theme that reflects certain trends in the crypto market. Infrastructure plays, like MYX Finance or Hyperliquid, are gaining traction among investors as more of them place value on projects that provide real-world utility and have sustainable revenue sources.

Moreover, Seeker’s performance shows that there remains a strong demand from the marketplace for innovation in terms of how to adopt cryptos, especially on mobile devices. Thus, for any investor looking to take advantage of these opportunities, the focus should still be based on fundamentals rather than short-term price action.

TLDR Humanity Protocol (H) tops the crypto top gainers list with a 10.91% 24-hour price surge, trading at $0.1437. World Liberty Financial (WLFI) follows with an 8.63% gain and strong volume of $227.7 million. Decred (DCR) climbs 7.12% to reach $25.72 with $9 million in daily trading volume. Sky (SKY) records a 2.17% increase, trading at $0.06752 with a volume of $46.1 million. These crypto top gainers show strong upward momentum despite overall bearish conditions and extreme market fear. Over the last week, the crypto market has been trading in the bearish region. Today, major assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Solana, and XRP, are all posting losses. The Fear and Greed Index shows a score of 9, indicating extreme fear. However, some digital assets have been trading positively, thus making it to the list of crypto top gainers of the day.

According to CoinMarketCap data, at the time of press, Humanity Protocol (H) leads the top gainers list with a 24-hour price increase of 10.91%. The token trades at $0.1437 with a daily volume of $38,909,103.

Source: CoinMarketCap (Top Gainers) World Liberty Financial (WLFI) follows closely, posting an 8.63% rise and reaching $0.109. It records the second-highest daily volume among the crypto top gainers at $227,754,755.

Decred (DCR) registers a 7.12% price gain, pushing its value to $25.72. The trading volume stands at $9,038,580, marking notable activity. Sky (SKY) climbs 2.17% over the past 24 hours, reaching a price of $0.06752 with a volume of $46,115,834.

 LEO, GNO, and XMR Climb as XAUT and TRX Dominate Volume UNUS SED LEO (LEO) advances 1.37% and is now priced at $8.30. The trading volume is relatively low at $1,309,418.  Gnosis (GNO) is up 0.92% to $124.34, with $3,165,828 in 24-hour volume.

Monero (XMR), a major privacy-focused coin, gains 0.71% to reach $330.12. It maintains a notable trading volume of $93,237,769. TRON (TRX) rises 0.27%, pricing at $0.2782 and leading the volume chart with $554,184,198 in trades, the highest among all listed.

Tether Gold (XAUT), a gold-backed token, increases 0.26% in price to reach $4,980.34. Its daily volume hits $413,552,584, making it a high-volume asset despite modest price movement. PAX Gold (PAXG) gains 0.22% and trades at $5,013.54 with a strong volume of $290,066,549.

Decred (DCR) rebounds over 7% at press time on Friday after a three-day decline of almost 14%. Roughly 60% increase in trading volume over the last 24 hours supports the recovery, suggesting heightened spot-market demand. Technically, Decred remains under the shadow of the resistance zone near $26, which has been intact since late November. 

Decred takes another breakout attempt at a key resistance zoneCoinMarketCap data show Decred's trading volume is $6.3 million so far on Friday, up 57% in the last 24 hours, consistent with Friday’s recovery and reflecting a buy-side bias among traders.  

Decred market statistics. Source: CoinMarketCap Technical outlook: Will Decred extend rally above critical resistance?Decred is trading above $24 at the time of writing on Friday, edging higher after three consecutive days of losses, for over 7% gains so far. The privacy token is trading above the 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), suggesting a bullish tone. 

Still, Decred continues to struggle to surpass the resistance zone near the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement at $26.13, measured from the November 4 high at $70.00 and the December 23 low at $14.21. If Decred clears this zone with a daily close, it could target higher resistances at the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels at $31.54 and $38.07, respectively. 

The technical indicators on the daily chart remain mixed, consistent with the fluctuations near the critical resistance zone. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 60 shows an upward spike above the midline, suggesting a short-term increase in buying pressure, with further room on the upside before reaching the overbought zone. 

However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has flattened and is at risk of crossing below the signal line, which would reinstate a downward trend. Additionally, contracting green histogram bars indicate a decline in bullish momentum, suggesting further downside for Decred.

DCR/USDT daily logarithmic chart.On the downside, the 50-day and 200-day EMAs at $20.82 and $19.54 could serve as initial support levels.

3 Altcoins That Are Not Acting Like a Crypto Bear Market

Decred (DCR) extends gains by 5% at press time on Monday for the fifth consecutive day, with bulls challenging a crucial resistance level. The low liquidity of DCR tokens in the market, driven by steady user staking and treasury buildup, fuels upside moves. Technically, Decred is at a crucial crossroads amid rising buying pressure.

Limited supply boosts DCR demandOn-chain data shows 10.9 million DCR is staked, representing 67.4% of all mined DCR (16.2 million DCR), and cannot be sold for 142 days. Additionally, the treasury holds over 873,000 DCR tokens, removing 5.4% from the circulating supply, limiting the liquidity to 4.40 million DCR. The limited supply in the market boosts demand for the privacy coin among investors. 

DCR supply allocation. Source: Decred.supplyTechnical outlook: Will Decred extend gains for a breakout rally?Decred is up 5% at the time of writing on Monday, crossing above the $25.00 level. The short-term recovery tests the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $26.13, measured from the November 4 high at $70 to the December 23 low at $14.21. The crucial resistance has previously capped gains since late November, showcasing intense supply pressure. 

A decisive close above this level could target the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels at $31.54 and $38.07, respectively.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 63 on the daily chart, edging higher, extending its rebound from the halfway line as buying pressure increases. The indicator shows further upside before reaching the overbought zone, suggesting bullish potential.  The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) crosses above its signal line, signaling renewed bullish momentum. 

DCR/USDT daily logarithmic chart.However, a downside reversal from $26.13 could signal renewed downside pressure, opening the door to a retest of the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $21.96.

Altcoins, such as Stable (STABLE), Decred (DCR), and Pippin (PIPPIN), are extending gains so far this week, defying the risk-averse conditions in the broader cryptocurrency market. Stable and Pippin are near record high levels, while Decred extends its breakout rally above $30. Technically, the uptrend in STABLE, DCR, and PIPPIN remains sound, but the broader market condition remains a risk to the steady recovery. 

Stable gaining traction signals further upsideStable is up over 3% at press time on Friday, extending gains for the fourth consecutive day. The ongoing recovery accounts for roughly 30% gains so far this week and maintains a near-term bullish bias. 

The R2 Pivot Point at $0.04181 serves as the initial resistance for Stable.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is moving above its signal line in the positive territory amid rising MACD histograms, suggesting sustained bullish momentum. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 73 remains overbought, indicating a steady increase in buying pressure could be reaching oversaturated levels. 

STABLE/USDT daily price chart.On the downside, the resistance-turned-support R1 Pivot Point at $0.03213 remains a crucial demand level.

Decred extends gains on rising buying pressureDecred edges higher by 10% at press time on Friday, building on Thursday’s 10% rise and marking its eighth consecutive day of uptrend. The DCR token crosses the $35.00 mark and approaches the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $38.07, measured from the November 4 high of $70.00 to the December 23 low of $14.21.

If DCR clears this level with a daily close, it could target the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $49.76.

The technical indicators on the daily chart reaffirm the bullish bias. The MACD histograms rise consistently as the average lines extend higher into positive territory. Meanwhile, the RSI at 79 shows overbought conditions, but the upward trend suggests persistent buying pressure rather than a completed exhaustion pattern.

DCR/USDT daily logarithmic chart.On the flip side, the 50% retracement level at $31.54 could serve as immediate support.

Pippin takes a breather near record highPippin trades around $0.80 at the time of writing on Friday, holding steady after a 9% rebound the previous day. The meme coin is trading near record high levels as it tests the R3 Pivot Point at $0.8012. 

If PIPPIN secures a daily close above this level, it would open the door to the R4 Pivot Point at $0.9254.

The MACD and signal line maintain an upward trajectory amid consecutively rising positive histograms. At the same time, the RSI at 73 turns flat in the overbought zone, suggesting stagnation in buying pressure and a potential pullback.

PIPPIN/USDT daily price chart.Looking down, the crucial support for Pippin remains the R2 Pivot Point at $0.6720.

Analyzing Decred’s post-selloff state – Is $24 or $35 next for DCR?

Bitcoin trades above $72,500 at press time on Thursday, holding its 6% gain from the previous day, contributing to a broader market recovery. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization stands at over $2.43 trillion as the broader market sentiment improves significantly. Decred (DCR), Zcash (ZEC), and Dogecoin (DOGE) lead gains over the last 24 hours, as the broader market risk-on sentiment renews.

Bitcoin recovers above $72,000, lifting all boatsBitcoin exited a long-standing consolidation range below $70,000, jumping 6% on Wednesday. At the time of writing, BTC is holding above $72,500 on Thursday as the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) capped gains on the previous day.

The declining trend of the 50-, 100-, and 200-day EMAs reaffirms a prevailing bearish bias and could cap extended recovery attempts. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 55 on the daily chart, extending a steady rise above the midline as buying pressure increases. At the same time, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) scales toward the zero line amid expanding positive histograms, confirming a bullish bias in trend momentum. 

BTC/USDT daily price chart.If BTC clears the 50-day EMA at $74,382, it could target the 50% trend-based Fibonacci retracement level at $78,258, measured from the October 6 high of $126,199 to the November 5 low of $80,600. A decisive close above this level could extend the recovery to the 100-day EMA at $81,801.

On the flip side, the breakout area near the 78.6% trend-based Fibonacci retracement level at $68,839 could serve as a support zone.

The rebound in Bitcoin drove a broader market recovery, resulting in renewed risk-off sentiment. At the time of writing, the total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.43 trillion on Thursday, up over 5% from $2.32 trillion the previous day.

Crypto market capitalization. Source: CoinMarketCapMeanwhile, CoinMarketCap’s Crypto Fear and Greed Index shows a sharp recovery to 29, from 19 on Wednesday, suggesting that bears are losing grip. Still, values below 40 suggest fear in the market, and the neutral zone ranges from 40 to 60. To signal a bull market, the index must cross above 60, indicating renewed investor greed.

Crypto Fear and Greed Index. Source: CoinMarketCapDecred, Zcash, and Dogecoin lead the broader market recoveryDecred is up 7% at press time on Thursday, building gains over the 7% rise from the previous day. The near-term bias is mildly bullish as DCR holds well above the upward-sloping 50-, 100-, and 200-day EMAs.

The privacy coin trades above the 50% retracement level at $31.54, measured from the November 4 high of $70.00 to the December 23 low of $14.21. A decisive close above this level could target the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $38.07. 

The MACD stands above its signal line on the daily chart and remains in positive territory, with a modestly positive histogram, suggesting sustained bullish momentum. The RSI at 66 on the same chart stays below overbought territory, indicating persistent buying pressure without an immediate exhaustion signal.

ZEC/USDT daily logarithmic chart.On the downside, initial support is seen at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $26.13. However, a deeper pullback would expose the 50-day EMA at $24.88.

Meanwhile, Zcash is down 2% at press time on Thursday, following a 10% hike on Wednesday. The declining 50-day EMA merges with the 200-day EMA, signaling a high likelihood of a Death Cross, suggesting Wednesday’s rebound as a short-term recovery in a prevailing downward trend.

A descending trendline near $266, followed by the 200-day EMA at $289, could serve as resistance levels. 

The MACD rises from its signal line on the daily chart but remains close to the zero mark, suggesting only modest upside momentum, while the RSI at 44 signals subdued buying pressure after recovering from oversold territory.

DCR/USDT daily logarithmic chart.On the downside, immediate support aligns with the $200 psychological level. 

On the other hand, Dogecoin also faces downside pressure near the $0.1000, which capped the 10% gains on Wednesday. At the time of writing, DOGE is down 2% on Thursday, while the downward-sloping 50- and 200-day EMAs serve as overhead resistances keeping the short-term recoveries in check. 

To reinstate a fresh uptrend, DOGE should surpass the 50-day EMA at $0.1066, which could extend the upside to the December 31 low at $0.1161 and the 100-day EMA at $0.1240.

The MACD line is marginally above the signal line and hovering just above the zero line, suggesting only modest bullish momentum. The RSI at 47 is just below the midline, reinforcing a neutral bias.

DOGE/USDT daily price chart.On the downside, the recent swing low near $0.0879 could serve as immediate support.

Decred’s DCR token gained 12% over recent days as privacy coins drew renewed interest amid quantum risk discussions.

The setup supported further upside. However, Spot market activity remained weak, raising concerns about sustainability.

What is driving DCR’s recent momentum? Decred’s [DCR] structure turned bullish over the past 24 hours, supported by strong momentum indicators.

The Aroon Indicator signaled an uptrend, with Aroon Up holding above Aroon Down during the recent move.

Source: TradingView On top of that, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovered near 67 at press time. This indicated steady buying pressure without entering overbought territory.

That alignment showed buyers remained in control during the recent rally.

Can DCR continue its breakout move? DCR broke out of a consolidation channel within a broader bull flag pattern formed over several weeks.

The breakout on the 10th of April confirmed renewed buying interest as the price moved higher. If momentum holds, DCR could retest a level last seen 43 days ago.

Source: TradingView However, resistance near $25 and $32 could slow the move. Traders may look to take profits at these levels.

Even so, the structure still favored continuation if buying pressure remains intact.

Why is spot demand still weak? Despite the bullish setup, Spot market activity showed limited confirmation.

Over the past 48 hours, net inflows reached around $68,210, a modest figure compared to the price move. By contrast, weak inflows suggested limited capital backing behind the rally.

Source: CoinGlass This raised concerns about sustainability, as sentiment-driven moves often struggle without strong Spot support. Having said that, narrative momentum could still support price action.

As interest in privacy assets grows, DCR may continue attracting attention despite weak Spot participation.

Final Summary Decred [DCR] gained 12% as renewed interest in privacy coins supported short-term momentum. Growing attention toward privacy-focused assets could keep DCR relevant despite weak underlying demand.

Summarize this article with:

The announcement of the launch of mUSD, Metamask’s native stablecoin, marks a strategic milestone for the crypto ecosystem. Indeed, by partnering with Bridge, a Stripe subsidiary, and the decentralized infrastructure M0, Metamask is not just adding a feature: it is reshaping the contours of decentralized finance as we know it.

In brief Metamask launches its stablecoin mUSD, in partnership with Stripe’s Bridge and the decentralized infrastructure M0. mUSD is natively integrated into the wallet for DeFi and will be usable in the real world via Mastercard. Supported by a favorable regulatory framework, Metamask hopes to impose mUSD against the giants Tether and Circle. Metamask, long recognized as the world’s most used self-custody wallet, takes an unprecedented step by integrating a native stablecoin.

Named mUSD, it is not conceived as a simple dollar-pegged token, but rather as the cornerstone of transactions across Ethereum and the Layer 2 solution developed by Consensys.

Its goal is clear: to offer a stable unit of account to navigate the jungle of dApps and DeFi protocols.

Until now, users had to juggle between USDT, USDC or DAI. With mUSD, Metamask introduces a native asset, fully compatible with its own ecosystem, thus reducing dependence on third-party stablecoins.

As a result, this choice strengthens its position in a silent war where every player seeks to capture liquidity.

From a functional perspective, mUSD will be available directly within the Metamask app.
Indeed, deposits, swaps, cross-chain transfers or value bridging: the user will be able to manage all of this in a few clicks, without going through external services.

An integration designed for the real world: Mastercard in sight Beyond purely crypto use cases, Metamask plays the card of massive adoption. Moreover, the company plans to enable, by the end of 2025, spending mUSD in the physical world via the Metamask card, compatible with the Mastercard network.

Concretely, this means a user will be able to pay for purchases at millions of merchants without having to convert their funds into fiat currency beforehand.

This bridge to the real economy is far from trivial. Indeed, it brings the initial promise of stablecoins, the fluidity of global payments, closer to a concrete and tangible application.

Thus, by simplifying the user experience, Metamask hopes to transform mUSD into an exchange standard, both in DeFi and in everyday life.

With the backing of Stripe via Bridge, the initiative gains regulatory credibility and operational robustness.

Furthermore, Stripe is not a minor player: its expertise in global financial flows allows it to provide the compliance layer and reserve management essential to the project’s stability.

A launch that fits into a regulatory turning point The timing is no coincidence either. In the United States, the GENIUS law has finally established a clear federal framework, laying the regulatory foundations for payment stablecoins. This regulatory progress removes much of the uncertainty that hampered innovation and adoption.

Thus, Metamask takes advantage of this window to position itself ahead of the competition.
By combining compliance, decentralized infrastructure M0 and smooth experience, mUSD is now established as a key player in the stablecoin era.

In a market dominated by Tether and Circle, Metamask bets on the ecosystem: users, native integration, real gateway. Consequently, so many assets could turn mUSD into a credible and sustainable alternative.

DA Davidson Raises Micron’s Price Target to $2,000, Retains Buy Rating

U.S. investment bank DA Davidson released a research note stating that Micron Technology has entered a new phase with one of the best performance visibility in the semiconductor industry, a stark contrast to its past standing in the sector. Driven by another quarter of results that handily exceeded expectations and positive forward guidance, Micron’s stock price surged sharply. These signals indicate that the current memory chip boom cycle is far from over. While the company is ramping up capacity investments (with capital expenditure (CAPEX) projected to hit $10 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, which will bring additional supply), management expects the memory market to remain tight on supply and demand at least through 2027. Against this backdrop, DA Davidson reiterated its "Buy" rating on Micron and raised its price target from $1,500 to $2,000, equivalent to a 20x price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio based on the company’s 2026 calendar year expected earnings per share (EPS).

Morgan Stanley raises Micron's price target to $1,200, maintains 'Overweight' rating.

Morgan Stanley released a report raising Micron Technology (MU.O)’s price target from $1,050 to $1,200, while maintaining an "Overweight" rating. The investment bank lifted its fiscal 2027 earnings per share (EPS) forecast for the chipmaker by roughly 40% to $168, and upgraded its free cash flow (FCF) projection from $104 billion to $140 billion.

CBRS trades below IPO price post-earnings: Erases all gains six weeks after listing, two smart money firms net $5.8 million from first-day IPO shorts.

According to Hyperinsight monitoring, Cerebras (CBRS), the AI chip firm previously dubbed "Nvidia’s strongest challenger", saw its stock price fall in stages after reporting its first quarterly results since going public, as negative guidance overshadowed better-than-expected performance. The stock has dropped roughly 22% since the earnings release and officially broke below its IPO price today. On-chain whales are overall bearish. CBRS trades at $184 on the Hyperliquid platform, down 7.7% in 24 hours. Large-scale short positions (million-dollar level) total around $11.62 million, 2.39 times the long positions ($4.87 million). Two major short positions were placed precisely at high levels as early as the IPO day or even before the IPO: - Whale 0xe0ff: Shorted at $284.51 on May 14 with a 3x leveraged position of $6.13 million, generating an unrealized profit of $3.24 million (+104%); - Whale 0x9996: Shorted at $275.92 on May 11 with a 5x leveraged position of $5.48 million, generating an unrealized profit of $2.64 million (+162%). It is learned that both addresses currently hold short positions in both CBRS and SPCX, and have recorded substantial unrealized profits, preferring to place short positions at high levels before or on the day of major stock listings. With the realization of negative earnings news in this round, the combined unrealized profit of the two positions is around $5.88 million. Currently, the average entry price of CBRS short whales is around $275, and the current price is over 30% lower than that. The nearest short liquidation line is at $200.13, about 7% away from the current price.

Multiple high-performing domestic public mutual fund products have tightened their purchase restrictions.

E Fund Management announced in its latest filing that the E Fund Information Industry Select Fund, managed by Zheng Xi, has cut its purchase limit to 10,000 yuan. The same purchase limit reduction to 10,000 yuan applies to another fund under his management, E Fund Information Industry Fund, while E Fund Global Growth Select Hybrid Fund (QDII) has lowered its purchase limit to 10 yuan. In addition, Guolianan Preferred Industry Fund, Harvest Tech Innovation Fund, and Principal Performance-Driven Fund have also announced purchase limits or adjustments to their limits recently. Jin Zicai, a fund manager closely watched by the market, imposed additional purchase limits on multiple public offering funds under his management, with the four funds involved cutting their purchase limits to 500 yuan starting June 23. Purchase limits on high-performing funds likely stem from multiple considerations: they can avoid return dilution caused by short-term concentrated subscriptions, and proactive limits during overheated market conditions also send risk warning signals to the market. As the first half of the year draws to a close, such moves have become increasingly frequent. Overall, Wind data shows that since June alone, 19 funds with year-to-date net asset value returns exceeding 90% have suspended large subscriptions or adjusted their purchase caps.

DA Davidson Raises Micron’s Price Target to $2,000, Retains Buy Rating

U.S. investment bank DA Davidson released a research note stating that Micron Technology has entered a new phase with one of the best performance visibility in the semiconductor industry, a stark contrast to its past standing in the sector. Driven by another quarter of results that handily exceeded expectations and positive forward guidance, Micron’s stock price surged sharply. These signals indicate that the current memory chip boom cycle is far from over. While the company is ramping up capacity investments (with capital expenditure (CAPEX) projected to hit $10 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, which will bring additional supply), management expects the memory market to remain tight on supply and demand at least through 2027. Against this backdrop, DA Davidson reiterated its "Buy" rating on Micron and raised its price target from $1,500 to $2,000, equivalent to a 20x price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio based on the company’s 2026 calendar year expected earnings per share (EPS).

Huobi HTX Has Listed O Perpetual Contract

Squid Distances Itself From $3.2 Million Hack of Lookalike Third-Party Contract

Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin moved 80,001 ETH worth roughly $122 million from a wallet that sat untouched for more than three years, reviving fears of founder selling as the token slid toward $1,500.

The transfer drew attention because dormant founder wallets rarely move during market stress. On-chain trackers later showed the ether never reached an exchange, complicating the sell pressure narrative that formed within minutes.

Why The Lubin Transfer Rattled TradersEthereum was trading for $1,575 as of this writing, down about 5.9% over 24 hours, according to BeInCrypto data.

The token has shed approximately 22% across the past week, leaving holders sensitive to any large movement.

Ethereum (ETH) Price Performance. Source: BeInCryptoNansen analyst Alex Svanevik first flagged a 40,000 ETH outflow, then revised the figure to 80,000 ETH across two transactions.

On-chain analysts soon traced the address tied to Lubin, which still holds about 243,300 ETH worth near $370 million.

The timing fed existing anxiety. Ethereum spot ETF demand had already collapsed, and Ethereum buying has cooled sharply during the slide.

On-Chain Data Points To MakerDAO, Not An ExchangeThe bear case rested on where the coins might land next. Moving tokens to an exchange often indicates intention to sell.

“If any portion of this reaches spot order books during an already-stressed ETH market, it adds meaningful sell pressure,” said one user.

However, on-chain trackers reached a different read. The ether moved to two wallets and was supplied into MakerDAO, with about $209 million in Dai (DAI) borrowed against it.

That pattern points to collateral management aimed at reducing liquidation risk, not distribution.

Lubin has long held a bullish stance on ETH, which makes outright selling near multi-month lows harder to read as exit behavior.

Whether the remaining 243,300 ETH stays parked will likely shape near-term sentiment.

Traders are now watching for exchange deposits that would confirm distribution rather than DeFi collateralization.

Ethereum ETF Flows Add To The PressureSpot Ethereum ETFs briefly interrupted a 17-day outflow run on June 4, taking in $19.3 million, according to SoSoValue data.

However, outflows resumed the next day, with about $6 million leaving on June 5.

The roadmap covers every layer of the Algorand protocol, from user wallets and developer tooling to consensus mechanisms, with milestones beginning in Q3 2026 and deployment progressing through the end of 2027.

DOVER, Del., June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Algorand Foundation today announced a comprehensive post-quantum security roadmap, committing to advance broad quantum resilience by the end of 2027, well before NIST deprecates legacy RSA key sizes, and three years ahead of the NSA's target for national security systems. Every layer of the protocol is included in the roadmap, from user wallets and developer tooling to consensus mechanisms.

Beginning Q3 2026, Algorand will introduce native post-quantum accounts for existing users or developers. Post-quantum account creation will be available directly within the Pera wallet, and all SDKs will be updated accordingly. Later this year, the Foundation will introduce post-quantum multi-signatures and begin migrating its own treasury to post-quantum accounts. Stakers will additionally be able to stake from post-quantum accounts. The roadmap comes four years after Algorand began post-quantum preparations with the deployment of State Proofs signed with the Falcon signature scheme in 2022.

"Post-quantum security cannot be retrofitted after Q-Day," said Bruno Martins, Chief Technology Officer, Algorand Foundation. "Every institution tokenizing or staking, every developer building, and every user transacting on Algorand needs to know their assets will remain secure should the quantum threat materialize. This roadmap gives them that assurance, starting with concrete deployments in 2026."

The roadmap addresses the deeper cryptographic layers of the protocol, including post-quantum consensus, a post-quantum Verifiable Random Function (VRF), an active research area in cryptography that Algorand is helping to advance from peer-reviewed research toward production deployment. Algorand is also committing to cryptographic agility and a hybrid approach to post-quantum preparations. Cryptographic agility will enable Algorand to be easily integrated by systems that support multiple signature schemes. A hybrid approach enables accounts to be secured by any combination of keys, providing a robust defense against both classical and post-quantum security risks.

"Migrating a live protocol takes years, and the probability of a quantum attack on legacy cryptography grows meaningfully as the end of this decade approaches," said Chris Peikert, Chief Scientific Officer, Algorand Foundation. "Algorand's roadmap deploys advanced, peer-reviewed post-quantum cryptography across every layer of a live production protocol, including the consensus mechanism, at an unprecedented scale."

The quantum roadmap is being released as Algorand celebrates its seventh anniversary and seven years without downtime. Algorand is building toward broad quantum resilience before the end of next year. Further announcements on individual milestones will be made as development progresses.

While most blockchain projects are still debating whether quantum computing is a real threat or a sci-fi boogeyman, Algorand is already 140,000 transactions deep into solving the problem.

The Algorand Foundation revealed a comprehensive roadmap on June 18 targeting full quantum resilience for its protocol by the end of 2027. The project has been building toward this since 2022, and it’s now setting specific quarterly milestones to get the job done before national security agencies even require it.

What Algorand has already built, and what’s coming next Algorand started treating quantum computing like a present problem back in 2022, when the team implemented Falcon-signed State Proofs to protect the blockchain’s historical integrity.

The first post-quantum transaction hit Algorand’s mainnet on November 3, 2025, using Falcon signatures. Since then, over 140,000 such transactions have been processed.

The next phase arrives in Q3 2026, when native Falcon-1024 account support rolls out alongside upgraded SDK and tooling compatibility for wallets like Pera and AlgoKit. By the end of 2026, the plan includes a multi-signature framework for post-quantum accounts and staking enhancements, plus support for Falcon-512.

The final stretch through 2027 focuses on research into post-quantum Verifiable Random Functions and consensus messaging, along with cryptographic agility — hybrid schemes that can adapt as quantum threats evolve. Chief Scientific Officer Chris Peikert is leading the charge, including proof-of-concept work for hardware wallets like the Trezor Safe 5 and industry standardization efforts for post-quantum key derivation.

Algorand is targeting completion ahead of both NIST’s planned retirement of legacy cryptographic standards and the US National Security Agency’s critical deadlines for quantum resilience.

Why Google and Coinbase are paying attention A research paper from Google Quantum AI released in early 2026 acknowledged Algorand’s deployment of post-quantum cryptography in real-world production settings.

Separately, the Coinbase Quantum Advisory Council published a position paper in April 2026 that highlighted Algorand’s production use of quantum-secure signatures across both its consensus and execution layers.

The Google acknowledgment had a measurable market effect: ALGO surged more than 40% in a single week following the initial recognition.

The quantum race across Layer-1 blockchains Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin have all initiated their own quantum preparedness efforts, each approaching the challenge from different angles given their distinct architectures. Algorand’s phased migration strategy, with specific deliverables tied to quarters, stands apart from the more exploratory approaches other chains have taken so far.

Peikert has been vocal about why waiting isn’t an option. The concept of “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks means adversaries can capture encrypted blockchain data today and crack it once quantum computers are powerful enough.

For Bitcoin, its conservative upgrade philosophy means changes move slowly by design. Ethereum’s roadmap under Vitalik Buterin has acknowledged quantum risks, but concrete implementation timelines remain less defined than what Algorand has laid out. Solana has signaled awareness but faces its own scaling priorities.

What this means for investors The 40%-plus price surge following Google’s quantum AI acknowledgment suggests the market is willing to price in quantum readiness as a competitive advantage. If Algorand hits its Q3 2026 milestones on schedule — particularly native Falcon-1024 account support and wallet integration — that could serve as another catalyst for ALGO.
