Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with VRT.

Over the past two months, 7 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost VRT's consensus estimate, increasing from $3.82 to $4.11 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 5 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.

Bottom LineGiven these factors, it shouldn't be surprising that VRT is a #2 (Buy) stock and boasts a Momentum Score of A. If you're looking for a fresh pick that's set to soar in the near-term, make sure to keep Vertiv Holdings Co. on your short list.

The Zacks Containers - Paper and Packaging industry will continue to benefit from increasing packaging requirements due to the rise in e-commerce activities and steady demand from consumer-oriented end markets, such as food and beverages, and healthcare.

Pricing actions implemented by industry players will help offset the impacts of the rising costs due to tariffs.

Companies like Brambles Limited (BXBLY - Free Report) , Packaging Corporation of America (PKG - Free Report) , AptarGroup (ATR - Free Report) , Sealed Air Corporation (SEE - Free Report) and Karat Packaging (KRT - Free Report) are set to gain from the demand trends.

Industry Description
The Zacks Containers - Paper and Packaging industry comprises companies that manufacture paper and plastic packaging products.

The players also cater to the chemical, agribusiness, medical, pharmaceutical, electronics and industrial markets, to name a few.

What's Shaping the Future of the Containers - Paper and Packaging Industry
E-commerce & Consumer Products to Support Packaging Demand: Given the industry’s significant exposure (more than 60%) to consumer-oriented end markets, such as food and beverages and healthcare, the demand for packaging applications will remain stable across economic cycles. With the rise of e-commerce, packaging has gained utmost importance as it helps maintain the integrity of the products and withstand the complexities of delivery.

Standard Chartered's Geoffrey Kendrick says easing U.S.-China tensions have lifted sentiment from fear to hope, among other factors.

Institutional enthusiasm for major altcoins such as Solana, Cardano, Litecoin, and Sui has cooled sharply amid the prolonged delay of U.S. exchange-traded fund (ETF) approvals. The ongoing U.S. government shutdown has slowed regulatory decisions, driving capital away from non-Bitcoin assets. Consequently, investor sentiment toward altcoins has weakened, even as overall crypto market inflows remain strong, according to CoinShares’ latest fund flow report.

Institutional Flows Shift Toward Bitcoin Amid ETF DelaysCoinShares reported that altcoin inflows have declined substantially. Solana saw inflows of $29.4 million, while XRP registered $84.3 million, both sharply lower from early October peaks. 

Solana had earlier hit a weekly record with $706.5 million in inflows, while XRP attracted $219.4 million, signaling a short-term cooling phase. Cardano posted $0.3 million in outflows, reversing $3.7 million of inflows in the previous week. Similarly, Sui recorded $8.5 million in outflows compared to $5.9 million in earlier inflows.

Besides, Chainlink and Litecoin also experienced declining investor interest. Analysts believe the lack of clarity on ETF approval timelines has reduced short-term institutional participation. The delays have forced several funds to pause their accumulation strategies until regulatory certainty improves.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Take Divergent PathsDespite the weakness in altcoins, overall crypto funds recorded $921 million in inflows. The uptick came as investors gained confidence following softer U.S. CPI data and expectations of another 25-basis-point Federal Reserve rate cut. Bitcoin alone absorbed $931 million in inflows, lifting cumulative investments since the last rate cut to $9.4 billion.

However, Ethereum struggled to maintain investor attention, facing $169 million in outflows after five consecutive weeks of inflows. Spot Ethereum ETFs in the United States registered three days of net outflows, even as ETH prices briefly rebounded above $4,200 before traders booked profits.

Analysts Eye Long-Term Solana ExpansionMeanwhile, Solana has emerged as a standout performer despite institutional outflows. The token trades near $199, marking a 3.5% weekly gain. Analyst curb.sol noted that Solana has confirmed a macro breakout from the $200 zone, with the next target around $1,000, followed by $2,000. The structure mirrors early 2021 patterns, hinting at the beginning of an expansion cycle.

Analyst Crypto Patel projected an even broader outlook, predicting Solana could repeat its prior 27,560% growth cycle, potentially reaching $9,200 by 2029. He emphasized that the current phase resembles Wyckoff accumulation, which could lead to a parabolic advance once market confidence returns.

Summarize this article with:

The message is brief and the signal clear. The “Orange Dot Day” blinked again, then the confirmation came: 390 more BTC. Strategy Inc thus strengthens its treasury beyond 640,800 BTC, while the market approaches 115,000 dollars. The sequence speaks for itself and sets a climate of methodical anticipation.

En bref

Orange Dot Day flashed again: Strategy Inc. quietly bought 390 BTC (~$43.4M, Oct 20–26), lifting the treasury to 640,808 BTC with bitcoin near $115k
The playbook is metronomic—buy, confirm, account, repeat—using diversified funding that smooths purchases and broadens investors.

A well-oiled ritual, a methodical accumulation strategy
The mechanics don’t change. Michael Saylor doesn’t look for the perfect entry, he follows a procedure. The purchase was made silently, the announcement remained minimal, then the figures were consolidated in a press release and regulatory filings. This rhythm is readable, reproducible, almost metronomic. It reassures the investor who watches the film over several years rather than a few days.

The “Orange Dot” predicts nothing. It validates consistency. In a market saturated with noise, repetition sometimes counts more than the best punchline. Equity desks continue to observe the MSTR stock as a leveraged proxy on the bitcoin price, with a premium reflecting listed access, pro-BTC governance and, it must be said, a conviction marketing that hits the mark.

The latest move illustrates this discipline. 390 BTC were acquired for about 43.4 million dollars between October 20 and 26. The total climbs to 640,808 BTC. The cumulative cost is nearly 47.44 billion dollars for an average price close to 74,032 dollars per unit. This is no longer a simple position, it’s a four-step treasury policy: buy, confirm, record, repeat.

Financial engineering tailored for resilience
Contrary to a common idea, these purchases are not solely based on the sale of ordinary MSTR shares. Strategy has diversified its channels. Stems of preferred shares coexist with “at the market” raising programs. As a result, the company can quickly capture liquidity, then convert it into satoshis without relying on a single market window. This capital engineering is not cosmetic. It smooths the purchase pace during turbulent periods and broadens the investor base, each finding their risk and return profile.

This architecture creates a dual reading. On one side, the treasury value, indexed to the spot price. On the other, the market capitalization, which incorporates a premium for listed access, aligned governance and the ability to turn market appetite into a BTC reserve. In other words, the capital structure becomes a machine to convert attention into sustainable digital assets.

In this framework, minimalist communication is not a lack. It is a tool. It lets the market infer the size, rhythm and average cost. Expectations work for the company while it refines its cost curve.

The macro backdrop, the Bitcoin thesis intact
The timing is no coincidence. The week is paced by an FOMC meeting and a flow of macro news. In this kind of setup, the market reprices duration, liquidity and volatility. Bitcoin breathes. Shorts clear out. Convexity resurfaces. Strategy keeps its course. Whether the timeline heats up or tightens, the procedure remains. Buy, document, assume.

At the core, Saylor treats bitcoin as a monetary commodity with rigid supply and potentially explosive demand. The nuance is decisive. A position is opened. A policy is financed, executed, and controlled. Since 2020, patient iteration has replaced the splashy move. The market has ultimately integrated this logic into prices, including via the MSTR premium.

The message to institutions is clear. There is an operational path to build a strategic bitcoin exposure without tinkering. Accounts, custody, compliance, financing, communication. Everything is industrialized. Whether one adheres to the thesis or not, the playbook exists and it works. Each “Orange Dot Day” is no longer a viral anecdote. It is a calm and regular reminder: bitcoin supply does not adjust, but demand learns quickly.

Saylor does not play the prophet. He sets conditions. He makes time the ally of his treasury. As long as the metronome remains precise, “conviction buying” stops being a slogan to become a standard procedure. In the background, an asset whose scarcity does not erode and an execution that no longer falters.

The market keeps growing on the first day of the week, according to CoinStats.

ETH chart by CoinStatsETH/USDThe price of Ethereum (ETH) has increased by 2.18% since yesterday.

Image by TradingViewOn the hourly chart, the rate of ETH is on its way to the local support of $4,133. If its breakout occurs, the fall may continue to test the $4,100 range.

If buyers cannot seize the initiative, one can expect a test of the $4,050-$4,100 area soon.

Image by TradingViewFrom the midterm point of view, the rate of ETH is far from the key levels. The volume is low, which means none of the sides is ready for a sharp move. In this case, sideways trading in the zone of $4,100-$4,400 is the most likely scenario.

Ethereum is trading at $4,132 at press time.

Gold advocate Peter Schiff reignited debate over Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) status as "digital gold," questioning how it can serve as gold's modern counterpart when the two assets move in opposite directions.

What Happened: In his latest critique on Monday, Schiff mocked Bitcoin's rally amid a gold decline following upbeat U.S. trade news.

In response, David Gokhshtein challenged Schiff to a public debate and offered to buy a gold bar from Schiff's company using Bitcoin if Schiff could back his claims with real data.

Analyst Tomer Benami clarified the dynamic, noting that from 2009–2023, both assets rose as real yields fell and central bank balance sheets expanded.

While gold acts as a hedge against rising rates, Bitcoin trades as a liquidity-sensitive risk asset.

The "digital gold" label, he added, reflects long-term similarities, not short-term price correlation.

Investor Bag Holder IQ further explained that gold and Bitcoin diverging on positive economic news isn't a contradiction: gold hedges fear, while Bitcoin hedges fiat.

When optimism rises, investors sell gold as recession risks fade but buy Bitcoin for growth and liquidity exposure.

What's Next: Market observers suggest capital is rotating from defensive assets like gold into risk-on plays such as equities and crypto, as the U.S. and China near another "meaningless trade deal that Trump can tout as another win" as quoted by Schiff.

Analyst Ted Pillows noted the S&P 500 hitting new all-time highs confirms the shift toward risk assets, predicting that sustained momentum could push Bitcoin and Ethereum to fresh peaks.

Bitcoin investor and entrepreneur Lark Davis argue that gold's drop below key levels signals an early rotation of capital from gold into Bitcoin, a move that could reinforce BTC's long-term "digital gold" narrative.

In brief
BitMine Immersion Technologies added $321 million worth of ETH last week.
The company now holds over $13.8 billion worth of ETH, leading the Ethereum treasury accumulation race.
BitMine shares are up more than 5% on the day.
BitMine Immersion Technologies added another $321 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) to its stockpile over the last week, the NYSE American-traded firm said Monday, with its holdings rising in value due to Ethereum’s recent rebound. And its stock is climbing Monday, as well.

The Tom Lee-fronted firm now holds 3.313 million ETH valued at over $13.8 billion, plus it has 192 Bitcoin (about $22 million worth) and $305 million in on-hand cash. The company added 77,055 ETH over the last week.

BitMine is the largest Ethereum treasury firm by far, outpacing runner-up SharpLink Gaming (SBET) with its $3.58 billion in ETH holdings. It’s the second largest overall crypto treasury behind Strategy, which holds over $73 billion worth of Bitcoin.

Ethereum has been on the rise in recent days alongside the rest of the crypto market, climbing 3% over the last week to a recent price of $4,166. Overnight, ETH rose as high as $4,246, the highest mark registered by CoinGecko in the last two weeks.

Lee, the chairman of BitMine and co-founder and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, cited improving trade relations between the United States and Canada for why Ethereum is on the rise again after a catastrophic crypto market plunge earlier this month.

"The progress in trade talks between U.S. and China is a positive for Ethereum and crypto broadly,” said Lee in a statement. “These are global assets and rising tensions triggered the largest ever deleveraging in crypto a few weeks ago. While the fundamentals of Ethereum and crypto are 'uncorrelated' to equities, Fundstrat work has shown that in the past 15 years, Ethereum and crypto perform better when equities rise, meaning crypto is correlated to 'risk-on' assets via the associated leverage channel.”

BitMine’s stock is climbing Monday following both ETH’s weekend rise and the purchase announcement, with shares of BMNR recently changing hands for $53.15—up more than 5% so far on the day.

Myriad users remain bullish on Ethereum’s prospects, currently giving ETH a nearly 80% chance of rising to a price of $4,500 sooner than it can plunge to $3,100. (Disclaimer: Myriad is a product of Decrypt’s parent company, Dastan.)

Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson has reacted to a recent upgrade coming to Cardano. In a tweet, Patrick Tobbler, founder of NMKR and Masumi Network builder, stated that x402 is coming to Cardano, as well as Masumi, a blockchain protocol built on Cardano, designed to enable the AI Agent Economy.

Hoskinson hailed the move as important for Cardano, saying in a tweet, "This is very big for cardano."

x402 is built around the HTTP 402 status code and enables users to pay for resources via API without registration, emails, OAuth or complex signatures. It was developed by Coinbase and is integrated into AP2, Google's Agent-Payment Protocol. According to Tobbler, the integration of x402 is crucial because it enables native, automated and verifiable payments, turning Cardano into a financial backbone.

Dogecoin (DOGE) demonstrated bullishness in a key metric, despite plummeting prices on the daily charts. According to CoinMarketCap data, Dogecoin's trading volume spiked 62% over the past 24 hours.

DOGE volume now over $2 billionAs of press time, the DOGE trading volume has surged to more than $2 billion, marking a 62% spike over the previous day.

This increased trading volume demonstrates increased market activity for DOGE. This means investors are still interested in accumulating the top meme coin.

According to Cryptorank data, DOGE registered gains of 37%, 105.8%, 9.84% and 41.4% in October 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. 

Dogecoin Historical Chart | Source: CryptorankAlthough DOGE is down 13.2% so far this month, investors are still bullish that the coin will trade in green before October 2025 ends.

Besides, technical analysis revealed a bullish breakout is imminent for DOGE. Notably, the price has formed a symmetrical triangle pattern on the 12-hour chart. 

This consolidation phase usually follows a major upward move, indicating a potential continuation of the bullish trend.

Factors contributing to volume surgeMeanwhile, the DOGE price has not yet reflected the rally in trading volumes. In the past 24 hours, the DOGE price has declined by 0.24%, setting the price at $0.2022.

Thus, the volume surge appears tied to a broader cryptocurrency market rally. Bitcoin, the top market coin, is climbing toward $115,000, and the Ethereum price is moving close to $4,200.

Another key development possibly contributing to the volume surge is the recent spike in Dogecoin whale activity.

As revealed by the U.Today report, a dormant Dogecoin whale with a 36 DOGE seed recently executed a $26.8 million transfer to Binance.

Since that activation, the wallet has amassed a sizable position, directing most of the DOGE tokens into Binance.

Before this transaction, another dormant DOGE whale reemerged, moving 15.115 million DOGE, valued at about $2.95 million, from Binance.

The health sciences company Prenetics Global Limited has announced an oversubscribed $48 million public equity offering, potentially reaching $216 million in total proceeds through warrant exercises, to fuel the global growth of its wellness brand IM8 and advance its bitcoin treasury initiative.

Ethereum is showing signs of strength again as it attempts to reclaim key resistance levels after a sharp early-October drop. The bounce from the lower boundary of the descending channel has brought it back toward $4,150. Momentum is building, but the market remains cautious ahead of key resistance levels.

Technical Analysis

The Daily Chart
On the daily chart, the asset is retesting a supply zone just under the top of the descending channel. The rejection wicks from last week showed clear seller interest, but today’s candle is pushing back into that region, suggesting a potential breakout attempt.

The 100-day moving average, located around $4,150 mark, is acting as resistance for now, while the 200-day moving average sits much lower, around the $3,300 mark. If ETH manages to close above $4,200 and the higher boundary of the pattern, the next test will likely be around $4,600. Yet, buyers still need stronger confirmation.

The 4-Hour Chart
On the 4-hour chart, ETH pierced into the orange supply zone at $4,200, but is facing a quick rejection. This zone is just below the top of the descending channel, adding more confluence.

The RSI also printed an overbought signal and has turned down from these elevated levels, indicating a potential short-term pullback or consolidation. However, higher lows are still forming, and the recent rally from $3,600 has been sharp, showing aggressive buyers stepping in on dips.

Sentiment Analysis
Funding Rates
Sentiment across the Ethereum futures market is showing signs of growing optimism, but it has not yet reached a dangerous level. Funding rates have turned consistently positive after some significant negative prints, especially during the September and early October dip.

This suggests that more traders are positioning long, expecting further upside. However, funding isn’t excessively high, meaning the market hasn’t yet entered a euphoric or over-leveraged phase. That’s a healthy sign for continuation, especially if the price manages to break above the current resistance range.

Grab a coffee because this week could quietly redefine the tone of the entire market. Between shifting US-China trade winds, a looming Fed decision, and Bitcoin’s tightening grip above six figures, the mood feels different — almost expectant.

Crypto News of the Day: Standard Chartered Says the Week That Decides If Bitcoin Ever Falls Below $100,000 Again Has BegunThis could be one of those weeks where the market quietly shifts from uncertainty to conviction.

According to Standard Chartered’s Head of Digital Assets Research, Geoff Kendrick, a wave of surprisingly positive US-China developments has turned market sentiment “from fear into hope.”

Kendrick highlighted that US Treasury Secretary Bessent signaled an imminent breakthrough over the weekend. He indicated that China is expected to suspend rare earth export controls for a year and increase soybean purchases from the US in exchange for Washington dropping its threatened 100% tariffs.

Details of this potential deal will be finalized after the Trump-Xi meeting in Korea later this week. The news has already rippled through the markets, with Bitcoin benefiting from the positive sentiment.

In the same tone, the USD-CNH pair has fallen to near year-to-date lows, signaling a stronger yuan and renewed confidence in global trade stability. This easing tension has, in turn, fueled a rebound in Bitcoin’s correlation to risk appetite, as investors rotate away from defensive positions.

“The Bitcoin-gold ratio, highlighted last week, continues to push higher,” Kendrick wrote, noting that it now sits just above levels seen before the tariff scare earlier this month. “I’ll watch for this ratio to break back above 30 to signal an end to such fear.”

The Week That Could Redefine Bitcoin’s FutureFor Kendrick, the coming days may mark a critical turning point for Bitcoin and how investors interpret its long-term cycle. He pointed out that over $2 billion exited US gold ETFs last week, suggesting an appetite shift that could soon favor Bitcoin.

“It would confirm a more positive backdrop if even half of that re-entered Bitcoin ETFs early this week,” he noted.

The broader setup looks equally intriguing. Wednesday’s FOMC meeting is expected to deliver a 25 basis-point rate cut, despite the Fed operating in what Kendrick described as a “data blackout.”

He also hinted that growing speculation over the next Fed Chair could prove “Bitcoin positive” if it raises concerns about central bank independence.

Add to that, the looming earnings releases from five of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ — Microsoft, Meta, Google, Apple, and Amazon — and the macro calendar looks loaded with catalysts.

“This week is about to be pure chaos…the government shutdown is about to hit day 30. The Fed decides rates on Wednesday. Powell speaks right after, during a data blackout. Then, we’ve got Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, and Amazon, all reporting earnings. That’s $15.2 trillion in market cap dropping numbers in the same week. And just when you think it’s over… Trump meets President Xi on Thursday, 48 hours before his 100% tariff deadline. Buckle up. This week could move everything,” Mario Nawfal corroborated.

Kendrick argues that a fresh Bitcoin all-time high would serve as the “death knell” for those still clinging to the halving cycle as the primary driver of BTC’s value.

“ETF flows matter more now…If this week goes well, Bitcoin may never go below $100,000 again,” he said.

This statement echoes remarks highlighted in a recent US Crypto News publication. Whether or not that prediction holds, this week’s mix of diplomacy, data, and digital gold could prove decisive for the next phase of Bitcoin’s story.
