There is rarely a day that goes by without an analysis of the Shiba Inu (SHIB) price chart, Ethereum's biggest meme coin. Right now, Shiba Inu is quoted at $0.00001260 after holding September lows at $0.00001170. 

But this can all change quickly as the Bollinger Bands projection on the meme coin chart hints at an 11% upside move from this level, targeting $0.00001410 within the next few days.

October has always been a strong month for SHIB in the past. In 2021 the meme coin gained +833% in October, in 2023 it closed +6.04% and in 2024 it added +2.46%. The historical median stands at +6.63%. This record gives weight to the current setup, where the technical projection aligns with Shiba Inu coin's seasonal history.

SHIB/USD by TradingViewThe price levels are clear too. The nearest support sits at $0.00001200, making sure that September's range between $0.00001170 and $0.00001220 is intact. 

Resistance, on the other hand, is between $0.00001300 and $0.0000141. Clearing that brings SHIB to levels not seen since July. The next resistance zone above is $0.00001500-$0.00001800, equal to a 20%-40% increase from current trading levels.

SHIB’s best month of 2025The immediate scenario is simple: holding $0.00001200 keeps the projection in play and keeps the 11% move on the table. Failing to hold that line cancels the setup and brings the token back to its multi-month base.

Shiba Inu has started October with price action that points directly at $0.00001410. If reached, the move will play out in accordance with price history, with a potential 11%-40% move. In short, it could turn into SHIB’s best monthly performance of 2025.

BNB's price action was also influenced by a reduction in gas fees and Kazakhstan's state-backed Alem Crypto Fund naming BNB as its first investment asset. Oct 2, 2025, 2:06 p.m.

BNB rallied more than 3.5% in the last 24 hours, tracking broader gains across the crypto market as expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut firmed.

The token rose from a session low of $1,017.44 to more than $1,050, marking a breakout above key resistance levels in the session. The rise comes on the back of an unexpected drop in U.S. private payrolls that adds to a growing list of signals that the Fed may begin easing monetary policy sooner than expected.

With official jobs data paused due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, traders have leaned heavily on the weak ADP report, which showed a 32,000 job loss in September against expectations for a gain. Derivatives markets now price in near certainty of a 25 basis point cut later this month.

BNB’s price action mirrored that sentiment shift. After dipping mid-session, the token bounced off the $1,020 support level and climbed steadily into the close, driven by volume that exceeded the 24-hour average, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model.

Traders pushed BNB through the $1,035 resistance in the rally, which saw the broader crypto market move up 2.25%, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index.

BNB’s outperformance of the wider market reflects token-specific catalysts. Earlier this week, BNB Chain reduced its minimum gas fee to 0.05 Gwei, making the network one of the cheapest among major blockchains.

Meanwhile, Kazakhstan’s state-backed Alem Crypto Fund named BNB as its first investment asset. The fund’s goal is to build long-term reserves of digital assets and signals rising adoption at the sovereign level.

BNB also weathered a brief security incident during the session when the BNB Chain’s X account was compromised. Hackers made off with about $13,000 before the issue was resolved and the community rallied behind it.

Zcash (ZEC) is making waves in the crypto market with its strong 60% rally.

ZEC experienced a 60% bullish rally over the last 24 hours, accompanied by a 313% increase in daily trading volume, indicating strong buying interest.

The strong rally of Zcash (ZEC) is creating a splash in the crypto market. The privacy-oriented cryptocurrency has gone on a tear of unprecedented volatility, showing the type of momentum that draws traders’ attention to the digital asset market. According to CMC data, ZEC has bullishly rallied 60% in the past 24 hours with a daily trading volume of 313% indicating that market players are keen to take advantage of this breakout action.

Zcash has a technical outlook that is overwhelmingly positive in several periods. Price action indicates that ZEC has moved out of the $56 range to an astonishing $145, which is a parabolic move that has kept bears at bay. 

This volatility has taken the cryptocurrency well beyond major exponential moving average levels, with the 50-day EMA of $53.19 and the 200-day EMA of $45.42 now providing significant support levels. The large difference between the present price and these moving averages points to a very high bullish momentum, but it also implies that the asset is overextended in the short term.

What Next For Zcash Price?
The MACD indicator supports the bullish story as there is a strong positive crossover on the lower panel. The MACD line has soared high above the signal line and the zero line, at 8.30 compared to the signal line of 7.15. This strong deviation indicates an upward accelerating trend and indicates that the market remains under the influence of buying pressure. The bars on the histograms have grown significantly, and the image they create is one of prolonged bullish belief among traders.

In the meantime, the ZEC RSI indicator is at a high level of 67.85 and is almost in the overbought region, but it is not yet an indication of exhaustion. The sentiment indicator has soared to 4.76, which shows the excessive positive attitude towards this breakout. Although these readings have indicated that new entrants should be cautious at the existing levels, it also show that the rally has good conviction behind it and not a technical bounce.

As price has decisively crossed past resistance levels, and all key technical indicators have been put in place in a bullish manner, the next psychological target of $200 seems to be all the more attainable. Nevertheless, traders must be aware of possible pullbacks because of the parabolic trend of this move, and the 50-day and 200-day EMAs are reasonable support levels in case of any pullback.

Stellar (XLM), a key rival to XRP in cross-border payments, is approaching pivotal price levels that could shape its near-term trajectory.

Market analyst Ali Martinez warns Stellar ($XLM) faces a crucial test at $0.4; holding this support could trigger a rebound toward $1, creating high-stakes opportunities for traders and investors.

Notably, Stellar has experienced recent volatility amid broader market swings in the cryptocurrency sector. The $0.34 level now stands as a critical ‘make-or-break’ support, with traders closely watching to see if Stellar can stabilize and rebound, or risk further losses.

Therefore, Stellar is at a critical point because technical indicators show a tightening squeeze, with falling highs pressing down on support at $0.4. Holding this level could ignite renewed buying, propelling XLM toward $1, while a breakdown below risks further losses and short-term sell-offs.

Currently, XRP is walking a tightrope, with its price standing at $2.98, according to data from CoinGecko.

On the other hand, Stellar sits at a strong support zone, where the golden pocket Fibonacci level meets the value area low, a confluence that often signals buyers are stepping in.

This is because Stellar holding the golden pocket Fibonacci zone, 61.8–65% retracement, aligns with key market psychology, where buying pressure often intensifies.

Coupled with the value area low, where trading historically concentrates, this confluence creates a strong support, signaling a high-probability rebound.

Meanwhile, Stellar’s $1 target continues to gain steam after payment giant PayPal recently launched its US dollar-backed stablecoin, PYUSD, on its network.

Bitcoin (BTC) has gained over $3,000 in the last 24 hours as the flagship cryptocurrency experienced an upward rally. Amid this bullish movement, the asset has received an institutional endorsement that could trigger a further price uptick. According to a report, JPMorgan, the biggest bank in the U.S., has stated that the coin is undervalued, predicting a rise to $165,000.

JPMorgan says Bitcoin is undervalued compared to goldThe assessment of Bitcoin’s value by JPMorgan’s analysts comes as they benchmarked BTC against gold. The valuation could have been based on price-to-market size, investment inflows or volatility. The global financial giant insists that the current price of Bitcoin is too low relative to gold’s market value.

JUST IN: JPMorgan says Bitcoin is "undervalued" compared to gold

— Kalshi (@Kalshi) October 2, 2025 That is, if Bitcoin were valued like gold on the broader financial market, it would be higher than that of the precious metal. JPMorgan sees upside potential for BTC, and this kind of statement is capable of triggering bullish sentiment on the crypto market.

As per JPMorgan’s estimation, Bitcoin price could reach $165,000 per coin on a volatility-adjusted basis, relative to gold. It relies on the analysis of ongoing "debasement trade," which is pushing investors toward assets like gold and Bitcoin as a store of value.

The $165,000 forecast assumes that Bitcoin will continue with its current upward momentum and inflows into BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Regardless of the conditions, the prediction has sparked an uptick in the price of the asset.

As of press time, Bitcoin exchanged hands at $119,288.53, which marked a 2.36% increase in the last 24 hours. It previously hit a peak of $119,453.67, signaling potential for more upside. The trading volume has also climbed by 6.68% to $67.76 billion.

It is likely that if Bitcoin bulls support the current momentum, the asset will flip $120,000 and begin its journey toward its all-time high (ATH). It is worth mentioning that the current ATH of $124,457, which was set on Aug. 13, is less than 5% away.

Beyond JPMorgan, Bitcoin validation is viralInterestingly, JPMorgan is not the only one bullish about Bitcoin’s price. In a recent analysis, CryptoQuant suggested that the asset could break out to $150,000. 

The analytics platform based its projection on the increased minting of fresh stablecoins in the last 60 days. According to available data, 10 billion USDT have been added to the market, signaling increased liquidity.  

Similarly, Pavel Durov, Telegram CEO, has predicted that Bitcoin could hit seven figures based on scarcity. He maintained that the rate at which governments are printing fiat currency means inflation is inevitable, and this will increase the value of BTC to $1,000,000.

Canaan said it secured the order from an unnamed U.S.-based bitcoin miner for its latest-generation Avalon A15 Pro mining machines.

Tesla’s sales growth has vanished over the last year-and-a-half, but the company just registered its best quarter of deliveries ever, in large part because buyers rushed to take advantage of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit before it went away.

Tesla delivered 497,099 vehicles over the last three months, the company announced Thursday. That’s a massive 29% jump from the second quarter, about a 7% increase over the same period last year, and more than it has ever delivered in a single quarter.

Other automakers in the U.S. have seen similar jumps ahead of the credit expiring. The temptation to take advantage of the expiring credit was so strong that Cox Automotive has forecasted EVs will represent 10% of all vehicle sales in the U.S. for the quarter, which would be a record.

The boost in sales came at a critical time for Tesla. Before the third quarter bump, Tesla was on track to see its global deliveries fall for the second straight year. That decline has eaten into the company’s industry-leading profit margin.

This is thanks to a combination of factors. The company hasn’t released a truly new model in years aside from the Cybertruck, which has been such a bust that it’s been outsold by the GMC Hummer EV. Tesla CEO Elon Musk also tarnished his company’s image by spending hundreds of millions of dollars to help elect Donald Trump, and then promptly joined the new administration and led major, often haphazard cuts to federal agencies and programs with his Department of Government Efficiency.

It’s still possible for Tesla to deliver more cars this year than last. But it will take a monster fourth quarter the likes of which Tesla has yet to achieve. And even if that happens, it’s a far cry from the 50% annual growth figure that the company once promoted.

Perhaps that’s unsurprising given that Musk seems to be tired of selling cars. The company is trying to focus the public’s attention on technologies like autonomy and humanoid robotics, to the point that it recently proposed a $1 trillion pay package for Musk, largely tied to the success of those programs.

What happens to Tesla’s sales moving forward is a mystery. The expiration of the tax credit, plus the Trump administration’s hatred of anything clean energy, has dimmed the near-term prospects for EVs in the U.S. That has contributed to many major legacy automakers delaying or canceling plans for new electric vehicles — which could help Tesla claw back market share.

Tesla is also developing a lower-cost version of its Model Y SUV that we’re likely to learn more about by the end of this year. While it’s not an entirely new nameplate, the EV is expected to cost in the low-$30,000 range. The question will then be whether that price becomes attractive enough to win buyers for a super stripped-down version of a Tesla.

Meanwhile, other major automakers saw EV sales double in the face of the expiring tax credit. Some, like Ford and General Motors, have said they will make up for the incentive on certain leases going forward, as they try to keep their electric vehicles competitive in a market without federal subsidies.

ATLANTA, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitcoin Depot (“Bitcoin Depot” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BTM), a U.S.-based Bitcoin ATM (“BTM”) operator and leading fintech company, today announced the acquisition of the assets of Westcliff Technologies, d/b/a National Bitcoin ATM (“National Bitcoin ATM”), a prominent BTM operator across 27 states. The acquisition adds over 500 kiosks to Bitcoin Depot’s network, further solidifying its leadership as North America’s largest Bitcoin ATM operator and accelerates the Company’s mission to provide accessible, secure, and convenient Bitcoin access to communities nationwide.

“Adding National Bitcoin ATM`s kiosks significantly expands our reach and increases our leadership in cash-to-crypto access,” said Brandon Mintz, CEO of Bitcoin Depot. “This is exactly the kind of transaction that plays to our strengths--integrating a sizable network quickly and operating it more efficiently with our scale, compliance program, and customer support. As the industry matures, we believe our ability to bring fragmented operators under the Bitcoin Depot umbrella will continue to set us apart in the market.”

Bitcoin Depot BTMs allow customers to seamlessly convert cash into Bitcoin which customers can use to access the broader digital financial system for payments, transfers, remittances, and investments. The additional kiosks complement Bitcoin Depot’s ongoing efforts to strengthen and expand its national footprint to bring more people into the crypto ecosystem. This acquisition brings Bitcoin Depot’s U.S. market share to roughly 30%.

For existing National Bitcoin ATM customers, there will be no disruption in service. The kiosks will remain operational as Bitcoin Depot works to integrate them into its broader network, with the same reliable functionality and the added benefits of Bitcoin Depot’s industry-leading customer support, robust compliance program, and continuous investment in technology and services.

“We are excited to be acquired by the leading operator in the Bitcoin ATM industry,” said Luke Hewko. “It has become more difficult to compete in this space as time has gone on due to the resources and expertise needed to operate successfully and we believe Bitcoin Depot is best positioned to succeed in the current environment.”

This acquisition marks the latest in a series of momentum-driving announcements for Bitcoin Depot in 2025, including strategic retail partnerships, asset acquisitions, multiple executive appointments, and a series of BTC treasury updates.

This acquisition had no material impact on the Company’s recently reported third quarter preliminary results.

Key Takeaways HSBC targets $1.5B cost savings by 2026 through streamlining and refocusing operations.The bank is winding down non-core units across Europe, the U.S. and other markets.In Asia, HSBC expands via wealth services, acquisitions, new branches and digital upgrades.
HSBC Holdings (HSBC - Free Report) , a well-known global bank based in London, has been restructuring its operations to enhance efficiency and focusing on high-growth businesses.

HSBC has continuously been taking steps to streamline and refocus its global operations. In early 2025, it announced a $1.5-billion cost-saving plan from the organizational simplification efforts (to be achieved by 2026). For this, it will likely incur $1.8 billion in total severance and other upfront charges by the end of next year. Also, the company plans to redeploy an additional $1.5 billion from the strategic reallocation of costs from non-strategic or low-returning activities into its core strategy.

Hence, HSBC is winding down several non-core operations in the U.K., Europe and the United States, while maintaining a more focused presence in Asia and the Middle East. It is also progressing with divestments in Uruguay, Germany, South Africa, Bahrain and France. Apart from these, it completed the sale of its businesses in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Greece, Russia, Argentina and Armenia, as well as the retail banking operations in France and Mauritius.

As part of its Asia pivot strategy, HSBC is strengthening its performance in the region, with a focus on high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients. At present, more than 50% of its business is centered in the region. In mainland China, it is growing its wealth business through lifestyle-focused centers, acquisitions like Citigroup’s retail wealth arm, digital upgrades and talent hires.

In India, the company is expanding rapidly, with approval to open 20 branches, adding to its current 26. As the country’s wealthy population increases, HSBC is boosting its presence through initiatives like launching Global Private Banking, acquiring L&T Investment Management and enhancing Premier Banking. These efforts will help the company strengthen its position in the Asian and global markets.

Initiatives Taken by HSBC’s Global Peers to Sustain GrowthHSBC’s two close global peers are Barclays (BCS - Free Report) and UBS Group AG (UBS - Free Report) .

Like HSBC, Barclays has been striving to reduce costs and exit non-core or low-return markets. In sync with this, in August, it agreed to sell its stake in Entercard Group, while in February, Barclays divested its Germany-based consumer finance business. Additionally, in April 2025, it announced a collaboration with Brookfield to transform its payment acceptance business. Further, last year, Barclays acquired Tesco’s retail banking business, which complements its existing business.

Barclays’ structural cost actions have resulted in gross savings of £1 billion in 2024, with the plans to achieve additional gross efficiency savings of £0.5 billion this year. By 2026-end, the company expects total gross efficiency savings of £2 billion and a cost-to-income ratio in the high 50s.

UBS Group, based in Zurich, has expanded its global presence through acquisitions and partnerships. It acquired Credit Suisse in 2023, partnered with India’s 360 ONE WAM in April 2025 and maintains JVs with Sumitomo Mitsui Trust in Japan and Banco do Brasil, all boosting its wealth and investment banking capabilities.

Per its business restructuring plans, UBS Group is likely to wind down its Non-Core and Legacy portfolios, releasing more than $6 billion of capital by 2026-end. Through these efforts, UBS Group is well-placed to unlock further cost reductions toward the end of 2025 and into 2026 as it delivers on its ambition of $13 billion in gross cost savings by the end of 2026.

As we enter the final quarter of the year, the U.S. stock market appears deceptively calm. The VIX, often called the market's “fear gauge,” currently hovers around 16, signaling moderate volatility and relative investor calm. However, beneath this surface tranquility, significant uncertainties persist.

The ongoing U.S. government shutdown risk weighs on growth outlook, while the Federal Reserve has recently cut interest rates and indicated the possibility of additional rate cuts before the year-end to support a cooling labor market. This combination of apparent calm alongside these fundamental headwinds demands vigilance and strategic positioning to navigate potential market swings.

Given this background, many risk-averse investors might be wary of the outsized consequences from selecting individual stocks and go for exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Why ETFs? A single disappointing earnings report or regulatory development can severely impact the share prices of individual companies, exposing investors to sharp losses. This is where ETFs differ.

By offering instantaneous diversification through a single investment, ETFs spread risk across a broad basket of stocks within a sector or index. This diversification moderates volatility because the underperformance of one company can be offset by gains in others, smoothing returns. Additionally, ETFs combine diversification with liquidity and transparency, allowing investors to adjust exposure rapidly as market conditions evolve.

Sector-specific ETFs provide a strategic and targeted way for cautious investors to participate in potential market gains while limiting exposure to idiosyncratic risks inherent in individual companies. In today’s choppy environment, this blend of risk management and opportunity makes ETFs a particularly valuable tool — offering a safer harbor amid ongoing market uncertainties.

Attractive Sectors for Q4While defensive sectors typically gain favor during downturns, the landscape for Q4 2025 calls for a more nuanced approach. The Technology sector, despite facing headwinds from elevated rates, remains a powerhouse of innovation and long-term growth potential, making it attractive for investors seeking capital appreciation.

For the risk-averse investors, the Utilities sector offers stability through regulated essential services and reliable dividends, serving as a classic defensive play. On the other hand, financial stocks could benefit as rate cuts gradually reshape the yield curve, potentially boosting lending activity and supporting net interest margins over time.

This diverse sector landscape highlights the importance of strategic and diversified investing as investors navigate ongoing market uncertainty. To target these opportunities directly, we now turn to three prominent Sector Select SPDR ETFs — funds with strong track records that align with the themes outlined above.

3 Top ETFs to BuyTechnology Select Sector SPDR ETF ((XLK - Free Report) )

Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Tronox, investors suffered damages.

Expansion into Google Shopping expands product offering, targeting widespread inefficiencies in retail ad spend.
October 02, 2025 8:20 AM EDT | Source: BrandPilot AI Inc.
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 2, 2025) - BrandPilot AI Inc. (CSE: BPAI) (OTCQB: BPAIF) ("BrandPilot" or the "Company"), a leading innovator in AI-powered marketing and advertising technology, is pleased to announce the expansion of its AdAi audit capabilities from Google Search to Google Shopping Ads.

Building on the Company's core offering, AdAi for Google Search Ads, which uncovers wasted advertising spend in branded keyword campaigns, this new offering expands the capability to Shopping Ads across product listings on Google. By revealing where brands are unintentionally bidding against themselves or paying for clicks they could have captured at a much lower cost, the AdAi Shopping Audit provides marketers with clear, actionable insights to reduce wasted spend and improve return on ad spend (ROAS).

"Applying AdAi technology to Shopping Ads is a significant step forward for retail advertisers," said John Beresford, CRO of BrandPilot AI. "With Shopping campaigns accounting for over 75% of U.S. retail search ad spend and 85% of clicks across Google Ads and Shopping combined, the impact of wasted spend is massive."1

Key Benefits of AdAi for Google Shopping

Reinvest in Growth: Free up budget for the competitive terms that truly drive revenue.Competitor Intelligence: See which retailers dominate your Shopping ad space."Our Search Audit showed brands how much they were losing in uncontested keyword auctions," added Brandon Mina, President & CEO of BrandPilot AI. "By extending AdAi into Shopping Ads, we're exposing cannibalization in retail campaigns and helping marketers unlock budget that can be redeployed into true growth."

Exposing the Hidden Cost of Cannibalistic Shopping Ads

To raise awareness of this costly blind spot, BrandPilot AI will host a free webinar on October 23, 2025 at 1:00 PM EST. The session will walk through common cannibalization scenarios in Google Shopping, quantify their budget impact, and show how AdAi audits give brands the clarity to act.
