Gold (XAU/USD) Price Forecast: Extends Record Run but Approaches Overbought Zone
Overbought Readings Highlight Correction Risk
Technical indicators confirm gold’s extended condition. The relative strength index (RSI) remains in overbought territory, while the slope of the bull trend has steepened notably. This upper dashed line represents the outer boundary of the advance projected from the March base. Though further upside cannot be ruled out, a brief correction would be healthy, allowing the trend to reset before a potential continuation. Without some form of pullback, the odds of a fast, sharp decline increase if momentum falters suddenly.
Key Support Levels to Watch
Initial support lies at the 10-Day moving average, currently near $3,879. A drop below today’s low would hint at the first test of that line. Should it hold, buyers could quickly regain control and drive another leg higher. Deeper support sits at the 20-Day moving average around $3,783, which may come into play if selling accelerates. Given the rapid ascent of recent weeks, a move toward the 20-Day average would not be unexpected and could help stabilize the trend.
Bulls Still Command the Trend
For now, no clear weakness has emerged. A rally above today’s $4,059 high would reaffirm the dominant uptrend and continue the pattern of higher highs and higher lows. Given the enthusiasm of recent sessions, a sharp upward burst toward a potential blow-off top remains possible.
The upper estimate on the chart aligns with a measured move projection from the December swing low. Traders should remain alert, however, as any bearish follow-through from current levels could shift attention to lower targets and mark the beginning of a cooling phase.

Falcon Flex Drives Growth as CrowdStrike Bets on AI Security
CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. NASDAQ: CRWD stock is up 43% in 2025. That’s about 3x the gains in the S&P 500, making the stock one of the best growth stories in the entire market. Much of this is due to the company's strong revenue growth from its AI-native Falcon platform.
Through its subscription-as-a-service (SaaS) model, CrowdStrike is helping companies take a targeted approach to their cybersecurity needs. This is evident in the company’s impressive year-over-year revenue growth, most of which is in the form of annual recurring revenue (ARR).
However, like many companies in the technology sector, CrowdStrike faces a key obstacle in its valuation. CRWD stock is delivering growth that merits a premium price, but it will take some time for the company to grow into its current valuation.
Falcon Flex Accelerates Adoption Across Cybersecurity Modules
The cybersecurity sector, along with—and largely because of—artificial intelligence (AI), is one of the two most important sectors for investors to own in the next decade. The company’s Falcon Flex platform allows customers to take an a la carte approach to their cybersecurity needs.
As of October 2025, the platform has approximately 30 modules, covering:
Most recently, CrowdStrike added Falcon for information technology (IT). These modules provide tools to handle security and IT operations, extending their utility beyond core cybersecurity and adding to the company’s total addressable market (TAM).
In CrowdStrike’s August 2025 earnings presentation, it cited impressive usage statistics regarding module adoption rates:
48% of its customers used 6 or more modules
33% of its customers used 7 or more modules
23% of its customers used 8 or more modules
What’s particularly relevant to these numbers is that the company continues to grow its ARR after offering several of its customers one or more modules for free after the company’s highly publicized outage in the summer of 2024. That means that customers aren’t just sticking with CrowdStrike, they’re adding to their commitments.
Leading Security’s Shift Into the Agentic AI Era
As part of CrowdStrike’s Fal.Con 2025 Investor Briefing, chief executive officer (CEO) George Kurtz declared CrowdStrike to be a leader in what he calls “the Agentic Era.” This is a new phase of cybersecurity designed for a world where artificial intelligence systems act autonomously.
As Kurtz describes it, traditional endpoint protection and even cloud-native defenses are no longer sufficient, because AI itself has become both a target and a potential threat vector. CrowdStrike’s approach is to secure the entire AI stack—from infrastructure and data to software and identities—through a unified platform that protects not just human users, but also machine and agentic identities.
Specifically, the company has launched its new Pangea module, which extends detection and response (DR) to AI environments. It offers “AI Detection and Response” and “AI Guardrails” that monitor model behavior for prompt injection, data leakage, and misuse. This next-generation approach allows security teams to detect anomalies in real time, even when threats arise from the AI models themselves rather than human attackers.
By unifying data, detection, and defense across human and non-human identities, CrowdStrike is positioning itself not only as a cybersecurity leader but as the protector of the AI ecosystem itself. This distinction could define the next decade of growth in the security industry.
Valuation Remains the Only Threat to the Bull Case
Justifiably or not, valuation is a sticking point for CRWD stock investors. The company’s rapid growth has brought with it significant investor interest. However, the stock has become expensive.
Current Price$504.53High Forecast$600.00Average Forecast$491.81Low Forecast$295.00CrowdStrike Stock Forecast Details
At the midpoint of the company’s most recent full-year guidance, it will bring in $3.66 in earnings per share (EPS). But for many investors, that’s not enough to justify a stock price of over $489 per share as of Oct. 7, particularly one with a trailing twelve-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 137x, nearly double the sector average.
This is where it’s critical to understand what kind of investor you are as it relates to CrowdStrike. If the company achieves its target of $20 billion in ending ARR by fiscal year 2036, its stock will become significantly more appealing.
In fact, revenue growth of that magnitude, assuming analysts maintain the same revenue multiple, would put CrowdStrike’s market cap between $400 billion and $500 billion, putting it in the same category as the largest cloud/software companies.
But that growth won’t come in a straight line. After hitting its all-time high in July 2025, CRWD stock dropped almost 20% in two months. However, investors who bought that dip have been rewarded with a nice gain of over 14% in the last month, which is expected to last for several quarters.

Key Takeaways
The latest wave of optimism around AI helped lift tech stocks on Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2025, while competition weighed on a credit score provider.
Shares of AI chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices extended their recent rally, along with shares of server maker Dell.Equifax said it would offer credit scores to consumers at reduced prices, and shares of rival credit data provider Fair Isaac tumbled.
An AI chipmaker's stock extended its rally in the wake of a major artificial intelligence deal. Meanwhile, the latest salvo in an escalating competition between credit score providers weighed on one of the industry's big players.
The S&P 500 rose 0.6% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq climbed 1.1% to set fresh closing highs, bolstered by gains in the tech sector and minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting suggesting the central bank could be on track toward more interest-rate cuts this year. The Dow was little changed. Find Investopedia's full daily market recap here.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) shares posted the day's best performance in the S&P 500 index with a nearly 12% jump, extending their winning streak following the announcement of a partnership with OpenAI. A slew of analysts have raised their price targets for AMD this week, with Jefferies upgrading its rating to "buy" from "hold."
Dell Technologies (DELL) shares surged 9.1%, after the server maker raised its outlook, citing strong demand driven by the buildout of AI infrastructure. CEO Michael Dell said the company's broad portfolio of tech products makes it well positioned to provide the compute, storage, and network capacity necessary to deploy AI at scale.
Optimism around AI helped boost other companies with exposure to the burgeoning technology as well. Shares of AI chip leader Nvidia (NVDA) rose about 2% after CEO Jensen Huang said in a televised interview with CNBC that AI demand is up "substantially" this year, and that he expects it to keep growing.
Equifax (EFX) announced it will provide its VantageScore 4.0 credit scores at a reduced price or free to customers, just days after Fair Isaac (FICO) said last week that it would offer its FICO credit scores directly to firms that provide credit reports to lenders, reducing reliance on Equifax and the other nationwide credit bureaus. Fair Isaac shares dropped nearly 10%, losing the most of any S&P 500 stock Wednesday and reversing a portion of the gains posted after last week's announcement, while Equifax shares advanced close to 1%.
Live Nation (LYV) shares fell 3.4% after the Ticketmaster parent announced a plan to offer $1.3 billion in convertible senior notes maturing in 2031. The live entertainment company intends to use the proceeds of the transaction to redeem senior notes due in 2026, repay other debt, and for general corporate purposes.

APA Corporation Provides Third-Quarter 2025 Supplemental Information and Schedules Results Conference Call for Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. Central Time
HOUSTON, Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- APA Corporation (Nasdaq: APA) today provided supplemental information regarding certain third-quarter 2025 financial and operational results. This information is intended only to provide additional information regarding current estimates management believes will affect results for the third-quarter 2025. It is provided to assist investors, analysts and others in formulating their own estimates and is not intended to be a comprehensive presentation of all factors that will affect third-quarter 2025 results. Actual results and the impact of factors identified here may vary depending on the impact of other factors not identified here and are subject to finalization of the financial reporting process for third-quarter 2025.
Estimated Average Realized Prices – 3Q25 Oil (bbl)NGL (bbl)Natural Gas (Mcf)United States$66.00$20.00$0.70International$68.50$40.00$4.20 Egypt tax barrels:37 - 38 MBoe/dDry hole costs (before tax):$4 - $6 millionNet gain on oil and gas purchases and sales (before tax)*:$177 million *Includes the impact of realized gain/loss from commodity derivatives
Egypt payments and impact on net debt and free cash flow
Based on the strong, longstanding partnership with the Government of Egypt, APA received substantial payments from the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) during the third quarter. Egypt receivables have now returned to normalized levels.
Following the payments from EGPC, APA made proportional distributions to its non-controlling interest partner in Egypt. Total distributions to the partner were $173 million during the third quarter, compared to $126 million and $91 million in the first and second quarters respectively. As a reminder, APA’s definition of free cash flow excludes changes in working capital, thus, these payments from Egypt do not increase APA’s free cash flow for the quarter. However, the definition of free cash flow does include partner distributions, which reduces free cash flow. As a result of these positive developments, net debt and free cash flow were both lower than previously expected.
Production update
APA curtailed approximately 20 MMcf/d of U.S. natural gas production and 1,400 barrels per day of U.S. natural gas liquids production in the third quarter in response to weak or negative Waha hub prices.
Weighted-average shares outstanding
The estimated weighted-average basic common shares for the third quarter is 357 million. APA repurchased 3.1 million shares at an average price of $20.78 per share during the third quarter.
Third-quarter 2025 earnings call
APA will host a conference call to discuss its third-quarter 2025 results at 10 a.m. Central time, Thursday, Nov. 6. The conference call will be webcast from APA’s website at www.apacorp.com and investor.apacorp.com. Following the conference call, a replay will be available for one year on the “Investors” page of the company’s website.

Sitka Gold Announces $25 Million Bought Deal Financing
October 08, 2025 4:53 PM EDT | Source: Sitka Gold Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 8, 2025) - Sitka Gold Corp. (TSXV: SIG) ("Sitka" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement pursuant to which Beacon Securities Limited ("Beacon"), as lead underwriter, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters (together with Beacon, the "Underwriters"), has agreed to purchase, on a "bought deal" private placement basis, 16,235,000 common shares that will qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "FT Shares") of the Company at a price of $1.54 per FT Share (the "FT Issue Price") for gross proceeds to the Company of $25,001,900 (the "Offering").
"This bought deal financing, completed at a significant premium to market, highlights the growing recognition of our flagship RC Gold Project, which is rapidly evolving from an initial discovery into a major gold camp," said Cor Coe, Director and CEO of Sitka. "Combined with our current treasury, this financing provides funding and the ability to accelerate our efforts to further advance RC Gold as we focus on unlocking additional value from this exciting, district-scale gold discovery."
The Company will use an amount equal to gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") related to the Company's RC Gold Project in the Yukon Territory, Canada on or before December 31, 2026. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers effective December 31, 2025.
Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, the FT Shares will be offered to purchasers resident in all Provinces of Canada pursuant to (i) the accredited investor exemption under National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106") for aggregate gross proceeds of $5 million; and (ii) the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106 and in reliance on the amendments to Part 5A of NI 45-106 set forth in Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 - Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (collectively, the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption") for aggregate gross proceeds of $20 million. Any offering of FT Shares in Quebec pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will not commence until such time as the French Form 45-106F19 has been filed and posted on SEDAR+. The FT Shares sold pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will not be subject to resale restrictions under applicable Canadian securities laws. The FT Shares sold pursuant to the accredited investor exemption of NI 45-106 will be subject to the statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
The FT Shares may be donated by the initial purchasers to one or more charities and subsequently sold by the charities or may be sold by the initial purchasers to investors in follow-on transactions on a private placement basis in offshore jurisdictions as permitted and in the United States pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "U.S. Securities Act"), as amended.
There is an offering document related to the Offering (the "LIFE Offering Document") that can be accessed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.sitkagoldcorp.com. Prospective investors of the FT Shares being issued pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption should read this LIFE Offering Document before making an investment decision.
Certain shareholders of the Company that hold participation rights may elect to purchase common shares of the Company at the FT Issue Price on a non-brokered private placement basis (the "Non-Brokered Offering").
The Company has agreed to pay the Underwriters a cash commission of 6.0% of the gross proceeds raised under the Offering and issue to the Underwriters such number of compensation options (each a "Compensation Option"), equal to 6.0% of the number of FT Shares sold pursuant to the Offering. Each Compensation Option shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at the FT Issue Price for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering. No commission will be payable to the Underwriters with respect to the concurrent Non-Brokered Offering. The Compensation Options will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.
The Offering and Non-Brokered Offering, if applicable, are expected to close on or about October 30, 2025 and are subject to the Company receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.
The securities to be offered pursuant to the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.

$2.2 Billion: How Bitcoin ETF Inflows Make This Rally Different From The Others
Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) breakout remains structurally strong and well-supported, though Glassnode data indicates the market is transitioning into a more mature phase.
What Happened: According to Glassnode, rising leverage and measured profit-taking could inject near-term fragility, even as the broader uptrend remains fundamentally strong.
Bitcoin's rally across spot and futures markets is being fuelled by over $2.2 billion in ETF inflows, one of the strongest surges since April, alongside rising spot volumes and renewed institutional demand.
However, leverage has climbed sharply, with open interest hitting record highs and funding rates surpassing 8%, indicating the potential for short-term volatility or shakeouts.
In the options market, sentiment has shifted decisively bullish: implied volatility is up, skew has normalized, and traders are increasingly favouring call-heavy positions.
Yet this optimism has driven up the cost of upside exposure, creating a more crowded and volatile setup as the market juggles enthusiasm with leverage risk.
Also Read: Bitcoin Could Reach $150,000 If Q4 Seasonality Delivers, Trader Says
Why It Matters: Bitcoin has climbed to a new all-time high near $126,000, breaking through strong resistance between $114,000–$117,000 and highlighting renewed market strength.
On-chain metrics reveal robust accumulation by small-to-mid-sized holders (10–1,000 BTC), while whale selling has eased, signaling healthier, more organic demand.
This buying activity provides structural support around $117,000–$120,000, where 190,000 BTC last changed hands, marking a potential rebound zone if prices pull back.
Profit-taking has increased slightly but remains measured, consistent with a sustainable bullish phase rather than a market top.

The FOMC minutes have signaled a dovish shift from the Fed officials, who look likely to make further rate cuts to end the year. The Bitcoin price bounced on the back of the Fed minutes release, as market participants anticipate another rate cut this October.
FOMC Minutes Show Fed Willing To Make More Rate Cuts This Year
The Federal Reserve released the minutes of the September FOMC meeting, in which most participants judged that it is likely appropriate to ease monetary policy over the remainder of the year. This came as the participants admitted that they had made progress towards bringing inflation towards their 2% goal, although they added that it remained somewhat elevated.
As CoinGape reported, the Fed made the first rate cut of the year at last month’s FOMC meeting. Now, the FOMC minutes suggest that that was just the beginning of a dovish shift with more rate cuts on the horizon.
Based on the median estimate, Fed officials expect to make two additional 25-basis-point (bps) rate cuts by year-end. This is likely to come at the October and December FOMC meetings. CME FedWatch data shows that there is currently a 92.5% chance that the Fed will make a 25-bps cut at the October 29 meeting.
Meanwhile, the Bitcoin price briefly surged above $124,000 on the back of the FOMC minutes release but is now hovering around $123,500. TradingView data shows that the flagship crypto is up over 2% in the last 24 hours.

On-Chain Data Reveals Why Solana (SOL) Has Not Reached $300 Yet
Both of these metrics indicate that network activity has hit a temporary peak and is about to normalize to pre-election levels, and the same goes for traders’ interest in the Solana ecosystem.
Alpenglow Upgrade Could Change Things for Solana
In a bull market like this, with institutional adoption accelerating, and upon considering some headwinds like the launch of billionaire Solana treasuries and the early success of the first spot plus staking exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States, this trend is a bit worrying.
For what it is worth, Solana has maintained its second place in the DeFi ecosystem in terms of total value locked (TVL) at $12.5 billion, followed at a still decent distance by the BNB Chain with a much lower figure of $9.2 billion.
The Alpenglow upgrade could change things for Solana and accelerate institutional adoption of the network for the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), as it will bring down the blockchain’s transaction processing speeds from 12 seconds to 150 milliseconds.
These are pretty impressive numbers that will make Solana nearly as fast as the internet. The upgrade should be implemented at some point in the first quarter of 2026.
Bullish Structure Intact Despite Latest Downturn
Despite these worrying on-chain metrics, SOL maintains a bullish structure in the daily chart that could result in a breakout to higher highs.

Square Launches Bitcoin Payment Tools for Small Businesses
Square Launches Bitcoin Payment Tools for Small BusinessesThe features allow U.S. sellers to accept BTC, convert fiat sales automatically and manage crypto alongside traditional finances. Oct 8, 2025, 6:49 p.m.
Square, the payment services arm of Block (XYZ), has launched a new set of tools aimed at making bitcoin BTC$123,506.93 easier to use for small businesses, letting sellers accept crypto payments and manage their digital assets alongside traditional finances, the company announced Wednesday.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
The offering, called Square Bitcoin, includes three main features: bitcoin payments, automatic bitcoin conversions from card sales, and a native bitcoin wallet built into Square’s seller platform. Sellers will be able to accept bitcoin with no processing fees for the first year and choose to convert up to 50% of their daily sales into bitcoin automatically. The tools are available to eligible U.S. businesses, with bitcoin payments rolling out November 10.
The announcement reflects a broader trend. Crypto payments in the U.S. are expected to grow 82% between 2024 and 2026, according to data cited in the release. But so far, access to bitcoin has mostly focused on investors or tech-savvy individuals. Square’s move aims to bring that access to Main Street.
In practice, the tools could let a local coffee shop accept a bitcoin payment from a customer using a phone wallet, convert half their day’s sales into bitcoin automatically, and review all their finances in the same dashboard they use to manage inventory and payroll. According to Square, 142 bitcoin have already been accumulated through early use of the conversion feature, first piloted in 2024.
By folding bitcoin into its existing payments and banking ecosystem, Square — a subsidiary of Block (SQ) — is trying to lower the barrier to entry for small businesses to participate in the crypto economy. It’s also a continuation of Block’s long-running focus on bitcoin, which spans retail tools like Cash App and hardware initiatives like its Bitkey wallet and Proto mining products.
Miles Suter, head of bitcoin product at Block, said the tools are designed to help sellers “never miss a sale” while giving them access to financial tools that have typically been out of reach.
“We’re making bitcoin payments as seamless as card payments,” he said in a statement.

Litecoin, Hedera ETFs ‘at the goal line,' but U.S. shutdown halts launch
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas has highlighted how the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has performed in comparison to the world’s largest asset manager’s older funds. This comes as the fund approaches the $100 billion milestone, which will make it the fastest to reach this milestone.
BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Becomes Most Profitable Fund
In an X post, Balchunas revealed that the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF, which is approaching $100 billion, is now the most profitable fund for the asset manager by a “good amount.” The Bloomberg analyst also highlighted that this is a massive feat for the Bitcoin fund, considering its age in comparison to the other funds.
The BlackRock Bitcoin ETF, which was launched last year, is currently generating an annual revenue of $244.5 million for the world’s largest asset manager. This is well ahead of BlackRock’s Russell 1000 Growth ETF, which is 25 years old and generates an annual revenue of $219.3 million, placing it in second place.
Notably, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF is the only fund on the list that has a single-digit age. The other of BlackRock’s funds are 12 years and above. Eric Balchunas also noted that IBIT was approaching $100 billion in assets under management (AuM), which could make it the fastest to reach this milestone.

The Bloomberg analyst revealed that the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF currently holds this record, although it achieved this feat in 2,011 days. Meanwhile, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF, which is just 437 days old, currently has $99.44 billion in assets under management, putting it on track to surpass this record by a considerable margin.
This comes as the BlackRock BTC ETF continues to lead the pack, with massive daily net inflows. On October 6, these Bitcoin funds saw $1.19 billion in daily net inflows, with IBIT accounting $970 million of these flows. Meanwhile, they recorded a daily net inflow of $875.6 million yesterday, with IBIT accounting for $899.4 million of these flows.
IBIT Also Among Top 20 ETFs By AuM
Eric Balchunas also revealed that the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF is now in the top 20 in ETF assets following the rapid increase in its AuM. Based on its current AuM, IBIT is 19th on the list of largest ETFs, just ahead of Vanguard’s VIG and the “legendary” Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund.
The Bloomberg analyst remarked that if the last 12 months are repeated, it may not take too long for the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF to break into the top 10. He noted that the fund took in $40 billion over the last 12 months and saw an 85% increase. He added that he will put the timeline at December 2026 if he has to give one.
At the time of writing, the BTC price is trading at around $121,500, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

On October 8, 2025, renowned computer scientist and cryptographer Nick Szabo, who is celebrated for pioneering the concept of smart contracts, voiced serious concerns about the latest Bitcoin Core update, version 30. Szabo's apprehensions have sparked a significant debate within the cryptocurrency community as he urged users to transition to Bitcoin Knots instead, a move that could impact the software choices of many Bitcoin nodes around the globe.
Saint-Petersburg Exchange (SPB), a major stock market in Russia, is now hosting futures trading for contracts based on the value of Bitcoin and BRICS assets. The exchange began preparations to provide the service right after the Bank of Russia authorized the offering of crypto derivatives to qualified investors this past spring.

Is Bitcoin Core ‘Woke?' Some Knots Proponents Think So
Bitcoin’s net taker volume has rebounded from extremely bearish to neutral levels.
Onchain and market data indicate controlled profit-taking, not panic selling.
Binance data shows Bitcoin’s strongest buying momentum since July.
Bitcoin (BTC) price stabilized above $120,000 after sharply correcting from its all-time high on Tuesday. As buyers step back in, spot and derivatives markets appear to be converging toward a more balanced state, providing a stronger foundation for the next move higher.
Bitcoin four-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewAccording to CryptoQuant, the medium-term trend in derivatives markets has shifted notably. The net taker volume, which compares sell and buy orders, has recovered from an extreme bearish reading of –$400 million to a neutral level, signaling “a true shift in dominance between buying and selling pressure.”
Bitcoin NetTaker Volumes. Source: CryptoQuantA similar transition occurred during Bitcoin’s April correction, which later paved the way for a renewed uptrend of 51% in 13 weeks. However, analysts cautioned that an abrupt swing into strongly positive territory could hint at an overheated market if buying pressure accelerates too quickly.
Similarly, Alphractal CEO Joao Wedson noted that the buy/sell pressure delta remained firmly positive. “Metrics like this can take you to a whole new level, significantly increasing your decision-making accuracy,” Wedson said, emphasizing that disciplined buying when sentiment appears weakest has consistently paid off in recent months.

The analytics platform said that holding above $120,000–$121,000 would confirm a “healthy cooling phase,” setting the stage for renewed demand and the next leg upward.
Strongest buying surge since July validates “real liquidity”Binance data reinforced the narrative of sustained buying momentum. Since early October, Bitcoin’s price has climbed to $124,000 from roughly $117,000, with net buying pressure (vol_delta) exceeding $500 million on several days, meaning buy volume outpaced sell volume by that margin.
The imbalance ratio (imbalance_pct) reached 0.23, showing that buy orders were around 23% higher than sell orders, while the Z-Score rose to 0.79, reflecting above-average daily buying activity.
Binance Bitcoin buy-side pressure. Source: CryptoQuantThese figures indicate more than just short-term enthusiasm; they signal a resurgence of institutional and whale participation. Daily trading volumes have reached their highest levels since July, suggesting that Bitcoin’s advance is underpinned by genuine liquidity, not fleeting speculation.
Although some recent sessions showed a minor dip in volume delta, broader indicators such as steady volatility and continued accumulation among mid-sized holders suggest robust market confidence.
This behavior contrasted sharply with September’s weakness and reinforced the view that any pullback toward the $120,000 region could likely serve as an opportunity for strategic accumulation rather than the start of a deeper reversal.

Bitcoin Back To $123,000 As Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Attempt A Bounce
Coinglass data shows 129,160 traders were liquidated in the past 24 hours for $399.13 million.

Trader Notes: Castillo Trading highlighted that Bitcoin is showing a healthy bounce, with dips becoming shallower and increasingly difficult to catch.
This suggests strong momentum and the potential for continued upward movement, even though $120,000 bids remain unfilled.
Trader Tim noted that Bitcoin's recent close was weak, raising caution.
A strong weekly close could alleviate concerns, and altcoins might still catch longs, but for now, warning signs remain.
No top is being called, yet the outlook is not entirely clear.
Satoshi Stacker observed that overly aggressive bearish positions at recent lows triggered short liquidations, which are now fueling Bitcoin's rally.
Daan Crypto Trades commented that Bitcoin is demonstrating strong early October momentum.
Although the month still has a long way to go, Q4 is starting off well.
A gradual pace would help sustain the trend rather than risk an unsustainable spike.
IncomeSharks pointed out that Bitcoin continues to follow the expected pattern, while yesterday's small red candle led to unnecessary bearish posts that didn't reflect the market's true direction.

All 11 spot ETFs, including $GBTC, ended the week in the green, which he called “two steps forward mode.”

— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) October 8, 2025
Hougan outlined three key drivers behind the surge:
Sponsored
Sponsored
Wirehouse distribution: Major brokerages such as Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo now offer crypto ETFs directly to clients, giving thousands of advisors regulated Bitcoin access.
The “debasement trade”: Investors are shifting to scarce assets like gold and Bitcoin to hedge against currency dilution and fiscal expansion.
Reflexive momentum: Rising prices attract media coverage, which fuels more ETF buying and reinforces the rally.
Hougan pointed to Morgan Stanley’s new guidance allowing advisors to allocate up to 4% of portfolios to crypto. This policy could channel trillions into regulated products.
Wells Fargo and Merrill Lynch have followed, expanding institutional pipelines. He added that strong Bitcoin quarters often coincide with multi-billion inflows, reinforcing the link between price and capital.
BlackRock’s IBIT takes the lead in Bitcoin ETF dominanceBeInCrypto reported that IBIT is now BlackRock’s most profitable ETF, generating $244.5 million annually from a 0.25% fee with nearly $100 billion in AUM. It has overtaken the S&P 500 ETF (IVV) despite its larger scale.
Sponsored
Sponsored
Bloomberg data show IBIT approaching $100 billion in under 450 days—compared to over 2,000 for Vanguard’s VOO—making it the fastest-growing ETF ever.
This dominance narrows, spreads, and boosts liquidity, allowing institutional flows to recycle efficiently. US funds now hold about 90% of global Bitcoin ETF assets, underscoring Wall Street’s tightening grip on digital-asset liquidity.
Market structure shifts beyond cyclesAnalysts say this inflow wave is reshaping Bitcoin’s market structure. Checkonchain Analytics co-founder James told BeInCrypto that ETF inflows—roughly $60 billion so far—represent “tens of billions in fresh institutional capital,” not just on-chain holders moving into funds.
He added that long-term investors are realizing $30–100 billion in monthly profits, slowing price acceleration despite rising demand.

“Some holders are migrating from on-chain to ETFs—that’s happening. But they’re not the majority. The demand has been enormous—tens of billions in institutional capital—yet sell-side pressure remains. Since October 2024, IBIT has surged ahead of peers and remains the only fund with sustained inflows. The US now accounts for roughly 90% of global ETF holdings.”
K33 Research argues that institutional adoption and macro policy alignment have ended Bitcoin’s four-year halving rhythm. It has been replaced by a liquidity-driven regime.
James echoed this view, saying, “Bitcoin now responds to the world rather than the world responding to Bitcoin.”
ETF inflows, sovereign allocations, and derivatives growth have become the new anchors of price discovery. K33 data show open interest and momentum remain high but not extreme—suggesting brief corrections rather than a structural reversal.
Still, skeptics warn that rising leverage could trigger short pullbacks. The key question is whether billion-dollar trading days reflect fresh inflows or rotations from legacy funds like GBTC.
For now, record volumes, wider distribution, and deep liquidity all support Hougan’s thesis: expanded wirehouse access is Bitcoin’s strongest tailwind heading into year-end.

XRP leveraged ETFs surge, signaling shift in crypto investment strategies
XRP leveraged ETFs surge, signaling shift in crypto investment strategies Oluwapelumi Adejumo · 12 mins ago · 2 min read
XRP's evolving ecosystem reflects a maturing market with diverse participation driving liquidity and depth.

Investor appetite for XRP is widening as traders seek new ways to increase exposure beyond spot holdings.
The rise of XRP-focused leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) illustrates this trend, revealing how participants supplement traditional accumulation with higher-risk, higher-reward strategies.
Leveraged XRP ETFsOn Oct. 7, GraniteShares, a leading ETP issuer, filed to launch two XRP-based leveraged funds, including the GraniteShares 3x Long XRP Daily ETF and the GraniteShares 3x Short XRP Daily ETF. The firm also filed for leveraged products focused on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
These funds aim to triple XRP’s daily gains or losses, providing traders with a regulated and liquid means of adjusting exposure without relying on perpetual futures markets.
Their entry follows the success of Teucrium’s XXRP ETF, which recently surpassed $400 million in total net assets within six months of its debut.
Similarly, ProShares’ Ultra XRP ETF (UXRP)—designed to deliver twice the daily performance of XRP/USD—has gathered more than $100 million in assets.
Together, these leveraged ETFs now manage over $500 million, an impressive figure for funds launched less than a year ago and ahead of any approved spot counterpart.
While leveraged ETFs carry inherent risks such as volatility decay from daily resets, their rapid growth underscores unmet demand for flexible, regulated tools that connect crypto’s speculative energy with traditional financial infrastructure.
Considering this, Jeff Park, an advisor to asset management firm Bitwise, explained that:
“It [is] intuitive to understand the impact leveraged ETFs have on a stock. Their constant leverage target effectively creates a buy-high, sell-low trading pattern as the underlying price fluctuates. In essence, they are reflexively long on autocorrelation.”
XRP derivatives growthMeanwhile, this surge in XRP leveraged products parallels a broader increase in the digital asset’s derivatives activity.
Data from Coinglass shows that open interest in XRP futures has increased to approximately $9 billion, with average volumes remaining above $7 billion since early October.
The data indicate that both institutional and speculative capital are expanding exposure through multiple channels rather than shifting away from spot markets. The rising demand is evidence of a maturing market structure.
Spot accumulation anchors long-term investor confidence, while leveraged ETFs cater to short-term tactical positioning ahead of potential catalysts such as spot ETF approvals once regulatory reviews resume after the US government shutdown.
Overall, XRP’s evolving market now reflects multiple layers of participation from spot holders, futures traders, and leveraged ETF investors. Together, these groups are shaping a more liquid and diversified ecosystem where market depth and participation breadth matter as much as the speculative activities of the years past.

Bitcoin Cannot Be Dependent on One Man, Luke Dashjr Says
Controversial Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr claims that he is tired of personally saving Bitcoin "every few years."
"Even if we survive this attack by Core30, this situation, where I personally have to save Bitcoin every few years, needs to stop," Dashjr said in a recent social media post.
According to Dashjr, Bitcoin will not be able to survive if it relies just on one man, so other developes need to step up.
HOT Stories
Has Dashjr actually saved Bitcoin? Despite his fringe and extreme ideological views, Dashjr is often credited with "saving" Bitcoin on numerous occasions.
In 2013, he was part of the emergency group of developers who quickly fixed the inflation bug that caused a chain split between nodes and was close to eroding confidence in the original cryptocurrency.

Dashjr was also a loud opponent of the "SegWit2x" hard fork that was supposed to double the block size of the leading cryptocurrency. Despite being pushed by major mining companies and exchanges, the hard fork ultimately failed.
He also opposed Ordinals and inscriptions in order to prevent a UTXO blot. Dashjr claims that he tried to fix the issue before there was a huge spike in unspent outputs, but he was recovering from a hack back then.
Most recent controversy As reported by U.Today, Dashjr was recently embroiled in yet another controversy, with leaked messages allegedly showing his plan to launch a hard fork in order to retroactively modify the blockchain with the help of a trusted multisig committee.
The maintainer of the Bitcoin Knots client has clashed with Bitcoin Core developers over the decision to remove the default limit on OP_RETURN data. Dashjr, a staunch conservative, is an extremely loud opponent of lifting the limit.
In response to backlash, Dashjr dismissed the published messages as "fabricated nonsense."

Cardano's Charles Hoskinson Says $100 Billion XRP Could Flood Into DeFi
XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) is drawing fresh attention after Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson highlighted its untapped potential in decentralized finance, saying nearly $100 billion worth of idle XRP could soon enter yield-bearing ecosystems.
The remarks came just as Nasdaq-listed Reliance Global Group Inc. (NASDAQ:RELI) announced it has added XRP to its corporate digital asset treasury.
Hoskinson Sees $100B XRP Unlocking DeFi LiquiditySpeaking during a livestream, Hoskinson said the XRP community has "almost a hundred billion dollars of XRP floating around that's yield-free," suggesting that regulatory clarity and real-world asset (RWA) integration could transform XRP into a major DeFi liquidity source.
"You try to match RWAs and all these emerging assets that now, because of changing regulation, can finally enter the space," Hoskinson said.
"You pair them up with Bitcoin, ADA, XRP and that alone could get us $10–15 billion in TVL and a lot more transaction volume."
His comments underscore how DeFi protocols are beginning to explore interoperability with non-EVM blockchains.
Nasdaq-Listed Reliance Adds XRP To TreasuryReliance Global confirmed on Sep. 30 that it completed a purchase of XRP as part of its Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy, joining its existing holdings of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), and Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA).
The company cited XRP's efficiency as the reason for inclusion, calling it a "measured step" toward diversified blockchain exposure.
CEO Ezra Beyman said the firm aims to build a balanced digital portfolio reflecting both innovation and long-term shareholder value.
XRP Price Consolidates Ahead Of Breakout
XRP Breakout Analysis (Source: TradingView)
Technical analysis: XRP is trading near $2.91, consolidating inside a symmetrical triangle formation.
Resistance remains capped at $2.93, where the 20-day EMA coincides with the upper boundary of the pattern.
Immediate support rests at $2.85, followed by $2.74.
The Bollinger Bands are tightening, indicating reduced volatility that often precedes strong directional moves.
A daily close above $2.93 could open the way toward $3.07, while failure to hold support may trigger a slide to $2.64.
Why It MattersXRP is rarely discussed as a DeFi engine, yet Hoskinson's $100 billion liquidity framing flips that narrative on its head.
If even a fraction of that idle supply migrates into yield markets, the impact on DeFi's total value locked could be seismic.
The timing alongside Reliance's Nasdaq-listed treasury move gives the narrative a rare blend of grassroots and institutional backing.
Such alignment hints at XRP's next frontier — not just payments or remittances, but deep integration with on-chain capital markets.
For traders, it raises the question of whether XRP is shifting from a transactional token into a structural pillar of DeFi itself.

Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs
On Oct. 5, 2025, one of the best-known bitcoin advocates, the founder of Strategy, Michael Saylor, told the YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, to buy bitcoin. It was a reply to the post in which MrBeast voiced his concerns over the future of the YouTube creators, as they might be losing their jobs because of AI-generated videos. Does the top-ranking YouTuber known for handing out thousands of dollars to strangers really have financial concerns, and how crypto-savvy is he?
Summary
MrBeast took to X to share his concerns about the possible implications of the staggering quality growth of AI-generated videos. Donaldson expressed fear that millions of people who make a living through YouTube content can take a hit.
Saylor addressed Donaldson’s concerns by simply replying, “Buy Bitcoin, MrBeast.” MrBeast is no stranger to bitcoin and crypto. He has been investing in altcoins and NFTs since at least 2021.
In September 2025, on-chain data analysts linked ASTER token pumping to MrBeast’s wallet. He denied doing so and warned that he will never launch a memecoin.
In June 2025, MrBeast revealed that he reinvests most of his money into his YouTube channel and other ventures, so he has “very little money” for himself and has to borrow.
MrBeast’s concerns
MrBeast, a YouTuber with over 443 million subscribers on his main channel, has an ambiguous track record of relations with artificial intelligence. On Oct. 5, 2025, he published an X post reflecting on the AI threat to YouTubers. Donaldson raised a question about what will happen to professional YouTube creators when AI videos get “just as good as normal videos.” He concluded his post, saying, “Scary times.”
When AI videos are just as good as normal videos, I wonder what that will do to YouTube and how it will impact the millions of creators currently making content for a living.. scary times.
— MrBeast (@MrBeast) October 5, 2025
The post got over 63,000 likes and 6,200 comments in less than 24 hours. The post drew diverse replies of support or counterarguments. One of the commenters noted that “MrBeast just realized the machine that made him can now replace him,” hinting that it was the YouTube algorithm that helped MrBeast to get to the top. Others reminded everyone that it was MrBeast himself who promoted an AI tool creating video thumbnails for YouTubers.
Donaldson’s thumbnail generator, called ViewStats, was announced in June 2025. The project was received poorly. Designers criticized MrBeast for stealing their jobs. He reacted quickly and pulled the project, noting that now Viewstats will funnel users to hire real designers. Soon after, Donaldson expressed solidarity with those who associate AI with stealing jobs.
That’s rude. So I’ll reply to boost this dickhead to my audience. Everyone who got mad at me for having a ai thumbnail tool why don’t you go after 1of10 for stealing jobs?
— MrBeast (@MrBeast) June 29, 2025
Earlier, MrBeast raised his concerns about possible disasters caused by AI. In 2023, a deepfake ad video presented an AI-generated MrBeast clone offering his viewers the chance to buy an iPhone 15 Pro for just $2 in a “world’s largest giveaway.” Real MrBeast warned his viewers about scammers and asked, “Are social media platforms ready to handle the rise of AI deepfakes? This is a serious problem.”
Lots of people are getting this deepfake scam ad of me… are social media platforms ready to handle the rise of AI deepfakes? This is a serious problem pic.twitter.com/llkhxswQSw

Crypto journey of the number one YouTuber
While MrBeast never mentioned digital assets in his videos, he is no stranger to cryptocurrencies. During the 2021 bull run, he made several posts about Bitcoin.
In 24 hours I’m going to give one random person that retweets this tweet $10,000 in Bitcoin! (Yup, gonna experiment with this instead of cash haha) Make sure you follow me so I can dm you if you win 🙂
— MrBeast (@MrBeast) February 20, 2021
For instance, on Feb. 20, 2021, he tweeted he would donate $10,000 in bitcoin to a random person who retweeted the post. Also, he urged people to follow him on Twitter.
Earlier, he posted a poll asking if people hold bitcoin or any other crypto. On another occasion, he told fellow YouTuber Ludwig Ahgren that he’d taken a $10,000 donation in bitcoin. In November, he informed his followers about an environmental initiative taking donations in BTC. In September, he collaborated with Coinbase, offering a giveaway for a random person who would follow MrBeast and Coinbase on Twitter.
Generally, all the X posts about Bitcoin were released between January and November 2021. Since then, MrBeast hasn’t posted about it on X and hasn’t mentioned it on YouTube.
The same year, MrBeast was busy promoting NFTs and tokens via X replies. In 2024, analysts from Loock claimed they identified 50 crypto wallets linked to MrBeast. Allegedly, Donaldson used them for insider trading, pump and dump schemes, and misleading investors. For instance, they bring up his support for the SuperVerse token in May 2021.
On top of Super, Loock pointed at MrBeast’s efforts in promoting EthernityChain’s NFT collection, AIOZ token, and Refinable NFT marketplace in exchange for tipping. According to the Loock investigation, MrBeast was involved in insider trading with ShopX, XCAD, Boson Protocol, and other projects.
Allegedly, Donaldson made over $23,000,000 from insider trading and selling tokens he and his affiliate, YouTuber KSI, were promoting. Mostly, this activity dates back to 2021. On several occasions, MrBeast was involved in such activity in later years. Gizmodo media characterized Loock’s investigation as “compelling and impenetrable.” Blogger Stephen Findeisen, known as Coffeezilla, released a video echoing Loock’s allegations. MrBeast denied wrongdoing.
In September 2025, analysts from Lookonchain detected a $1 million worth of ASTER tokens inflow in the wallet linked to MrBeast. The YouTube star denied that this wallet belongs to him and claimed he doesn’t know about the ASTER token. Additionally, Donaldson noted that he is not going to make memecoins and warned people from trusting anyone who claims the opposite, pretending to be him.
Never heard of that coin and that’s not my wallet. Also since we’re on the topic I’m never doing a meme coin so don’t get scammed by one pretending to be me.
— MrBeast (@MrBeast) September 21, 2025
MrBeast’s financial struggles
In his YouTube videos, MrBeast gives huge amounts of money and expensive gifts to strangers. The videos are normally costly as they involve such features as fancy cars being destroyed, fantastic locations being built from scratch, etc. The average cost of one of MrBeast’s videos reaches three to four million dollars. Lately, Donaldson has been repeating that he has “very little money” as he spends most of it on his videos. Donaldson’s mother had to give him money for the wedding.
Donaldson has ideas that may possibly bring more money to him. He plans to launch an animation studio, a video game platform, and write a thriller with the famed author James Patterson. Currently, MrBeast is selling branded chocolate bars called Feastables, snack kits, and software tools for vloggers. Donaldson’s company, MrBeast Industries, has 450 employees.
While Feastables bring money, costly video production devours all the profits. The company was losing money from 2022 to 2024. The 2024 losses amounted to $110 million. Many of the losses can be attributed to Beast’s striving to team up with people who think differently, as Donaldson told Bloomberg. In 2024, he finally hired a CEO who must cut the costs of MrBeast Industries.
Michael Saylor advocates for a bitcoin accumulation strategy as the way for the U.S. to fix the national debt curse. Advising MrBeast to buy a bitcoin is just natural for Saylor, as Donaldson’s losses are way humbler than those of the U.S. However, Donaldson may have his own views on how to fill the budget hole using crypto.

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Fly-E Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLYE) between July 15, 2025 and August 14, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important November 10, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Fly-E securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Fly-E class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44575 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 10, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the safety of Fly-E’s lithium battery which in turn took a material toll on its E-vehicle sales revenue, despite making lofty long-term projections, Fly-E’s forecasting processes fell short as sales continued to decline and operating expenses increased, ultimately, derailing Fly-E’s revenue projections. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Fly-E class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44575 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Joby Aviations (JOBY) shares has jumped nearly 200% over the last year but saw a strong sell-off today after the company announced a new share offering. As George Tsilis points out, speculation surrounding Tesla's (TSLA) latest EV announcement didn't help Joby, either.
