Vancouver, British Columbia – October 21, 2025 – TheNewswire - Adamera Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: ADZ; OTC: DDNFF) ("Adamera" or the "Company") reports that it will offer for joint venture its Talisman Copper -Silver - Tungsten Property, located near Laurier, Washington, which includes the historic Talisman tungsten mine.  Talisman is not core to the Company’s business, although in light of increased demand for critical minerals the project warrants exploration.  Adamera has conducted a mineral potential review of the property where grades of 0.35–1.0% WO₃ have been reported. (1)

Why Tungsten?

Tungsten is considered a critical mineral by many countries and organizations, including the United States, the European Union, Canada and the United Kingdom. Its critical status is due to its importance in ballistics, aerospace and technology. Tungsten has unique properties including its extreme hardness and high melting point.  It has not been mined commercially in the USA since 2015, with most supplies being sourced from China. 

Work by Adamera on the Talisman Property has focused on the presence of high-grade copper and silver mineralization.  Limited attention has been paid to historically mined tungsten-bearing (scheelite) skarn zones in the Talisman Tungsten Mine.  The mine was a key tungsten producer during World War II, supplying strategic metal for U.S. military applications.  Specifically, scheelite occurs in garnet-epidote skarn along the contact between limestone and intrusive rocks.  Selected samples from the workings contain between 0.35 and 1.0 % WO₃, with local samples reported to assay higher. (1)  In addition to high-grade tungsten, smelter records from the Talisman Mine report high-grade copper and silver averaging 5% and 103 g/t, respectively. Specific zones also contained Pb up to 20% and Zn up to 11%. (1) (2)

“The Talisman Property is a critical minerals opportunity. Our work confirms the presence of a polymetallic mineralized system that contains tungsten, copper, silver, lead, zinc and bismuth. Such mineralization has been observed at shallow depths.  Our work paid little attention to tungsten on a stand-alone basis.  What did attract our interest was a newly recognized copper-silver target. Exploration has demonstrated that the mineralizing system extends well beyond the old tungsten mine workings, with clear potential for the discovery of a much larger polymetallic deposit” states Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO of Adamera Minerals Corp.

Surface sampling, mapping, and geophysical interpretation by Adamera demonstrate that the copper, silver, zinc and lead mineralization extends well beyond the historic mine and is suggestive that tungsten may do the same. Recent exploration on the property highlights several significant metal values as listed in Table 1:

Table 1. – Shows range of significant values of various metals in rock samples on the property that are located 700 to 1500 metres from the mine. Zones with elevated tungsten (100 to 2600 ppm) and Bismuth (100 to 2850 ppm) have been identified and not yet followed up.  

The Talisman Mine is hosted within carbonate rocks intruded by granite and diorite bodies, forming extensive skarn alteration along contact zones. Adamera’s mapping has outlined:

A 1.5-kilometre mineralized corridor with copper-silver-lead-zinc +/-tungsten occurrences; 

Multiple magnetic anomalies coinciding with surface mineralization; 

Continuity of alteration and mineralization beyond the historic mine workings. 

The Company believes the skarn system remains open along strike and at depth, with significant untested potential beneath a likely barren rock unit. A drill program has been prepared to test below and along strike of the former mine workings, targeting both high-grade scheelite zones and associated copper-silver-bearing sulphides. Additional work will include: systematic soil and rock geochemistry focusing on tungsten and detailed EM survey.

Plan is to Joint Venture the Property

The Talisman Property represents one of the few known past-producing tungsten sites in Washington State, now recognized as having strong potential for re-development under modern critical-minerals initiatives. The combination of historical tungsten production and newly identified copper-silver enrichment positions Talisman as a strategic exploration asset in a geopolitically secure jurisdiction. The current plan is to entertain joint venture proposals to continue exploration on the property, allowing the Company to focus on its gold assets.

, /PRNewswire/ -- National plaintiffs' law firm Berger Montague PC announces a class action lawsuit against Cepton, Inc. (NASDAQ: CPTN) ("Cepton" or the "Company") on behalf of investors who purchased or sold Cepton shares during the period of July 29, 2024 through January 6, 2025 (the "Class Period").

Investor Deadline: Investors who purchased or sold Cepton securities during the Class Period may, no later than December 8, 2025, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. To learn your rights, CLICK HERE .

Cepton is a lidar technology company headquartered in San Jose, California. Having been acquired by Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd. ("Koito") in January 2025, Cepton's stock is no longer publicly traded.

The lawsuit alleges that when seeking shareholder approval of Koito's merger proposal, which valued Cepton shares at $3.17 per share, Cepton and its senior executives failed to disclose the existence of a credible third-party acquisition bid that valued the Company at more than double the price of the Koito proposal.

Four months after the merger closed, former shareholders sued Cepton's senior officers in the Delaware Court of Chancery. In September 2025, when a redacted amended complaint filed in that Delaware action became publicly available, investors learned of the existence of documents indicating that the Company's proxy materials for the Koito acquisition had concealed material information from shareholders, including a competing bid.

According to the Delaware suit, Cepton's Board of Directors did not meaningfully explore the competing offer, nor did it disclose its terms when recommending that shareholders approve the Koito transaction. As a result, shareholders were denied a fair opportunity to assess the proposed deal. Furthermore, the Delaware complaint alleges that Cepton's CEO suffered from conflicts of interest with respect to the Koito proposal.

The crypto market, led by Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), is on the rise. The total crypto market cap edged 2.17% higher on Tuesday, October 21, during the mid-North America session, to hover about $3.83 trillion at press time.

Bitcoin Leads the Crypto PumpAccording to Coinpedia’s market data, Bitcoin price gained around 3% to reach a range high of about $113,996 before retracing to trade around $113,542 at press time. Bitcoin’s daily average trading volume gained 48% to hover around $78.4 billion at press time.

Ethereum price led the wider altcoin market in today’s gains. The large-cap altcoin, with a market cap of around $495 billion, rallied over 4% to trade above $4,100 at press time.

Main Reasons Why the Crypto Market is Up TodayHigh Institutional Demand amid Capital Rotation from Gold and Silver The demand for crypto assets, led by BTC and ETH, will skyrocket as gold and Silver investors rotate their profits. Notably, Gold and Silver spot prices dropped over 4% on Tuesday after hinting at a possible reversal pattern, which is characterized by double tops in the daily timeframe.

Historically, Bitcoin and the wider crypto market pump after Gold topped out, fueled by capital rotation.

Fed’s Crypto Integration TalksOn Tuesday, Federal Reserve Governor Chris Waller announced the central bank is proposing a new type of limited-access master account dubbed “skinny master account”. Notably, the skinny master account is expected to be given to innovative fintechs and banks led by crypto firms such as Ripple Labs, Kraken, and Anchorage.

Such a move would heavily influence the crypto liquidity and volume in the long term.

Leveraged Short Squeeze ImpactFollowing the sudden crypto market rebound on Tuesday, more than $537 million was liquidated from leveraged traders. Out of the total crypto liquidations, about $300 million involved short traders, thus fueling the impact of a short squeeze. 

The crypto short squeeze happened as the fear and greed index suggested high fear of further capitulation from most traders.

Solana Mobile has announced the end of software and security updates for its flagship Saga smartphone, marking an abrupt conclusion to the blockchain-integrated device’s lifecycle just two years after launch. 

According to a post on their website, the decision means existing users will no longer receive firmware or security patches, exposing devices to potential risks and compatibility issues as newer apps evolve. Customer assistance will now be limited to general inquiries, signaling the complete phase-out of active product support.

Short Run for Solana’s Blockchain PhoneLaunched in May 2023, the Saga was envisioned as a step toward mainstream Web3 adoption. It offered native crypto wallet integration, decentralized app access, and freedom from traditional app store restrictions. The phone was produced by OSOM, a California-based hardware firm, in collaboration with Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs.

However, the device’s commercial performance fell short. Initially priced at $1,000, it was later reduced to $599 after slow sales. 

Despite a surge of interest from Solana enthusiasts, only about 20,000 units were sold, missing the initial 50,000-unit target. Comparatively, the Saga’s two-year lifespan appears short against competitors Apple and Google typically provide at least five to seven years of updates.

From Web3 Innovation to Memecoin PhenomenonInterestingly, the Saga’s most enduring legacy may not be its blockchain integration but its unexpected role in Solana’s memecoin boom. Each unit shipped with a preloaded crypto wallet that became a prime destination for token airdrops. Developers used these wallets to reward early adopters and drive community engagement.

As the memecoin frenzy escalated in late 2023, some of these tokens surged in value, at times surpassing the phone’s original retail cost severalfold. Consequently, unopened Saga phones now trade for up to three times their retail value on secondary markets.

Solana’s Price OutlookSource: X

While the phone project winds down, Solana’s native token (SOL) continues to show resilience. The asset trades at $194.21 with a market cap exceeding $106 billion. Analyst Daniel Ramsey noted that Solana has consolidated below its $210–$250 resistance zone for 579 days. 

He said the long accumulation phase could precede a major breakout toward $400–$450 if the token closes above $250. As long as SOL holds above the $145 base level, Ramsey believes bullish momentum remains intact.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino declared that USDT's “trajectory to 500 million users” makes it “the ultimate social network” for programmable money, as the token's market cap climbs to about $182 billion. USDT's 500M-User Trajectory and Today's $182B Float On Tuesday, Oct.

The largest single liquidated position was valued at around $14.5 million.

The primary cryptocurrency, which was underperforming earlier today, took another turn to the upside with its price soaring from under $109,000 to nearly $114,000 in a matter of hours.

BTC Price, Source: TradingView
The impressive green candle comes shortly after the Federal Reserve’s meeting, during which the central bank revealed it was looking into “payment accounts” that would grant crypto and fintech companies access to Fed payment rails.

BTC’s resurgence also occurs after gold finally stopped rallying. Multiple analysts on X spotted the downtrend of the yellow metal, arguing that capital is now rotating towards the leading digital asset.

Somewhat expected, Bitcoin’s revival negatively affected traders who had previously opened too risky positions with high leverage. CoinGlass’ data shows that total liquidations on a 24-hour scale have soared to roughly $556 million. BTC trades accounted for $232 million of that amount, whereas those involving Ethereum added $151 million.

Crypto Liquidations, Source: CoinGlass
Overall, more than 140,000 traders were recked due to the market pump. The biggest single liquidation occured on the decentralized platform Hyperliquid, involved the trading pair BTC/USD and was valued at $14.45 million.

ZEC price pulled back slightly after breakout but remains near $250, holding strong gains.Whales are easing off, while retail traders continue adding — helping sustain the rally.Hidden bullish RSI divergence hints at another move toward $284 and $314 resistance zones.Zcash (ZEC) price has been one of the strongest performers among privacy coins, gaining nearly 470% over the past three months. The token is now trading near $250 after a brief pullback, cooling off from its recent surge but still holding most of its gains.

At first glance, the pause (even one since yesterday might seem like fading momentum. But the signals suggest something different. Whales are taking a step back, retail conviction remains strong, and technical patterns continue to hint that the broader uptrend is far from over.

Whales Ease Off, But Retail Traders Ride The ConvictionLarge investors have started to slow their buying. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) — which measures large-money inflows — has dropped sharply from over 0.45 at the start of October to around 0.04 now. This indicates whales have begun taking profits after driving ZEC’s earlier rally.

Still, this is not entirely bearish. Even when CMF dropped earlier this month, ZEC’s price kept climbing. The token’s rally is no longer fully dependent on whale activity — retail traders are filling in the gap.

Big ZEC Wallets Offloading: TradingViewWant more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here.

Over the past 24 hours, ZEC’s net flow flipped from +$18.14 million to –$4.06 million, a 122% swing toward outflows. That means more tokens are leaving exchanges, suggesting that holders are buying more.

ZEC Retail Adding To The Stash: CoinglassSponsored

Smaller traders appear to be accumulating while large holders reduce exposure — a pattern that often helps sustain rallies. Adding to that conviction, Zcash’s shielded pool recently surpassed 4.5 million ZEC, locking nearly 27.5% of its total supply.

This surge in shielded holdings shows that more users are moving coins into long-term private storage rather than trading them, tightening market supply and reinforcing confidence in Zcash’s privacy technology.

ZEC Price Structure Still Shows Strength Beneath The SurfaceZEC’s price action shows that this pullback is likely a pause, not a breakdown. The structure remains healthy, and multiple signals suggest the uptrend is holding.

While the full breakout projection of the flag setup points to an ambitious 547% potential move based on the pole’s height, that Zcash price target remains far-fetched for now. Nearer levels like $284, $314, and $441 look more realistic as upcoming resistance zones.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) — which measures the strength and speed of price changes — highlights that shift clearly. A few days earlier, around October 16, a hidden bullish divergence appeared, where the RSI made lower lows while the price made higher lows. The result was a short-term rally that pushed ZEC up before this latest pullback.

ZEC Price Analysis: TradingViewNow, a similar divergence is forming again. The price has continued making higher lows while RSI dips slightly — a setup that often hints at trend continuation. If the pattern repeats, ZEC could soon resume its climb toward $284 and $314, the next resistance levels.

However, if the price drops below $247 and then $209, it could signal temporary weakness. A move under $187 would break the bullish structure and expose the ZEC price to a deeper correction.

Key Takeaways 
How does PENGU’s short-term trend look?
It confirms a shift toward bullish momentum as buyers reclaim control above $0.021 levels.

What do recent exchange outflows and whale activity suggest?
Outflows totaling $863K and renewed whale accumulation indicate reduced sell pressure and growing confidence.

The market structure of Pudgy Penguins [PENGU] has started to show promising signs of recovery as the TD Sequential buy signal gets validated, aligning with consistent exchange outflows and renewed whale accumulation. 

The confluence of technical and on-chain metrics suggests momentum is shifting in favor of buyers.

Price movements consolidating within a bullish pattern that could soon trigger a breakout toward higher Fibonacci targets.

An explosive upside toward Fibonacci targets
A clear cup-and-handle formation is visible on the weekly chart, reflecting gradual recovery momentum after a prolonged correction. 

The handle consolidation appears nearly complete, positioning PENGU for a potential breakout above the 1.0 Fib level at $0.0218. 

If confirmed, the Fibonacci extensions at 1.618 ($0.0305) and 2.618 ($0.0447) could serve as the next price targets. 

Additionally, the liquidation heatmap shows heavy clusters between $0.023 and $0.0238, which could spark a short squeeze once liquidity is triggered.

Such a move would likely strengthen the bullish narrative across spot and derivatives markets.

Source: TradingView

Investors pull $863K from trading platforms
Spot flow data reveals a net outflow of $863K on the 21st of October, confirming that holders were moving tokens off exchanges. This trend reduces sell pressure and reflects growing investor confidence. 

Interestingly, the magnitude of these outflows has increased alongside the recent TD Sequential confirmation, reinforcing the notion that accumulation is underway. 

Moreover, historical data shows that similar withdrawal spikes often precede upward continuation patterns. 

However, sustaining this momentum will require consistent buying from both retail and institutional segments.

Large holders return to Pudgy Penguins
Data from CryptoQuant showed an uptick in large whale order sizes, signaling renewed institutional and high-net-worth participation. 

This pattern, marked by clusters of green whale orders, mirrors previous accumulation zones that preceded significant uptrends. 

The alignment between on-chain accumulation and technical breakout potential creates a favorable setup for a rally. 

However, continuous accumulation remains key for validating this bullish outlook, especially as PENGU approaches resistance near $0.023.

Is PENGU ready for a decisive breakout?
The convergence of bullish signals across both technical and on-chain metrics strengthens PENGU’s short-term recovery prospects. 

A confirmed breakout above $0.023 could open the path toward $0.03 and beyond, supported by consistent whale buying and reduced exchange supply. 

While momentum looks promising, sustained accumulation and breakout confirmation remain essential to validate the next major rally.

XRP’s price reclaims the $2.40 level, with rising open interest indicating renewed market confidence and the potential for continued bullish momentum after a volatile week.

Summary

XRP reclaims $2.40 Point of Control with strong demand.
Rising open interest suggests renewed accumulation.
Sustained closes above $2.40 could lead to rallies toward $2.70–$3.00.

XRP’s (XRP) price has reclaimed the $2.40 level, showing early signs of renewed strength following a volatile week of trading. The current price region coincides with the Point of Control (POC), making it a key technical area that could determine the next directional move.

Adding to this, Ripple-backed Evernorth Holdings plans a $1B Nasdaq debut to boost institutional XRP use, potentially strengthening market confidence. As price stabilizes above this level $2.40 level, on-chain and derivatives data suggest that sentiment is shifting back toward accumulation, supported by a rise in open interest.

XRP price key technical points

Key Resistance Reclaimed: XRP has moved back above the $2.40 Point of Control, a major volume-based resistance.
Open Interest Rising: Derivatives data show open interest rebounding to historical levels, signaling renewed confidence among traders.
Bullish Structure: Sustained closes above $2.40 could open the path toward a continuation rally.

XRPUSD (1D) Chart, Source: TradingView
Over the past week, XRP has experienced high volatility, with sharp movements both to the upside and downside. Despite this, the $2.40 region has emerged as a critical inflection point where the market is currently showing resilience. This area represents a high-volume node on the chart, serving as the Point of Control for the ongoing range.

The recent retest of the value area low confirmed strong underlying demand. Buyers stepped in early, preventing a deeper retracement and reinforcing $2.40 as a structural support level.

As long as daily candles continue closing above this level, it suggests that market participants are defending it aggressively and preparing for the next potential leg higher.

XRP Open Interest, Source: CoinGlass
Another key factor supporting the bullish case is the rebound in open interest across major futures exchanges. Following a sharp reset earlier in July, when liquidation events wiped out excessive leverage, open interest has now begun to rise again alongside price. This combination indicates that traders are re-entering the market with renewed confidence, rather than speculative overexposure.

If open interest continues to climb while the price consolidates above $2.40, it will confirm that new long positions are being established rather than short-term profit-taking. This behavior historically precedes continuation rallies, especially when supported by stable funding rates and rising spot volume.

What to expect in the coming price action
As long as XRP maintains daily closes above $2.40, the structure remains bullish. Continued increases in open interest would validate the strength of this reclaim, supporting the potential for further upside momentum.

However, traders should watch for volume confirmation; without strong participation, the move risks becoming another short-term spike.

TLDR:

Whale wallets accumulated 30M XRP in one day as price hovered around the $2.49 range.
Binance exchange reserves dropped below 3B XRP, signaling reduced selling pressure from holders.
XRP broke out of a multi-year triangle, with targets now projected at $8, $13, and $27.
Evernorth plans $1B listing; Ripple acquires GTreasury to expand XRP’s institutional finance reach.

Whale wallets holding between 100,000 and 10,000,000 XRP added 30 million XRP in the past 24 hours, according to data shared by analyst Ali Charts. 

This increase in holdings took place as XRP traded near $2.49, with a 1% rise on the day. Over the past week, the price showed a minor 0.26% decline.

Daily volume reached close to $4.86 billion, suggesting steady market interest. The rise in large wallet balances during a period of price stability points to renewed activity from deep-pocketed holders. 

While short-term price action remains flat, buying from these wallets often reflects preparation for a longer holding period.

Meanwhile, data from CryptoQuant shows XRP reserves on Binance fell sharply, from above 3.5 billion to under 3 billion XRP. This drop indicates major outflows from the exchange, often linked to holders moving funds into private storage.

Source: CryptoQuant
At the time of the drop, XRP was trading at around $2.40. Previous increases in exchange reserves have been followed by price dips, while current outflows come during stable or slightly falling prices. This may reflect a lower intention to sell among holders, aligning with the rise in whale accumulation.

XRP Technical Charts Show Key Breakouts and Levels
A long-term chart from ChartNerd shows XRP breaking out of a multi-year symmetrical triangle.

The pattern was followed by a successful retest of the 3-month EMA, which remains intact. The structure points to potential trend continuation. Based on historical patterns, the analysis sets future price zones near $8.47, $13.78, and $27.70.

$XRP is going to melt faces..

Another chart by Egrag Crypto marks the $2.65–$2.70 range as an important resistance zone currently being tested. XRP recently rebounded off a trendline labeled the Bull Market Support Line, which has held multiple times in the past year. 

A confirmed break above $2.70 could open the way for further upward movement. The $2.10–$2.30 area remains a major support zone.

Public Market and Treasury Developments
As recently reported by Blockonomi, Evernorth Holdings announced plans to go public through a business combination with Armada Acquisition Corp II. 

If approved, the deal would raise over $1 billion and list the company under the ticker XRPN on Nasdaq. Evernorth would become the largest public firm holding XRP as a treasury asset.

Additionally, Ripple also announced a deal to acquire GTreasury for $1 billion. The firm provides treasury management systems used by institutions. Ripple plans to connect its payment platform with these systems to support real-time transactions in corporate finance.

The partnership with Maple marks a broader convergence between decentralized finance and institutional credit, positioning Aave as a bridge for traditional capital seeking onchain yield.

Key Takeaways
What did SpaceX do with its Bitcoin holdings?
The company became active and transferred $268.5 million worth of BTC across internal wallets.

Did the move affect Bitcoin’s price?
No major volatility followed. BTC rose 3.44% in the past 12 hours to $112,340, suggesting markets viewed it as non-liquidation activity.

SpaceX has transferred roughly $268.5 million worth of Bitcoin across wallets, according to on-chain data from Arkham Intelligence.

The move is its first significant activity since July, when the company’s Bitcoin holdings moved for the first time in three years.

Arkham’s data shows that 90 BTC and 10 BTC were sent to separate addresses, while around $257.7 million worth of Bitcoin remains within SpaceX-controlled wallets.

The structure mirrors the firm’s July 2025 activity, which was widely viewed as custodial or treasury rebalancing rather than liquidation.

SpaceX’s Bitcoin portfolio
Arkham data indicates that SpaceX’s Bitcoin holdings are 5,790 BTC, valued at approximately $648.3 million. Also, the portfolio showed a 1.36% daily gain in value.

This makes SpaceX one of the largest private corporate holders of Bitcoin, alongside Tesla and Strategy.

Tesla, another of Elon Musk’s companies, currently holds over 11,500 BTC, making it the 11th largest corporate holder.

When SpaceX last moved funds in July, the transaction broke a three-year silence since 2022. At the time, blockchain analysts confirmed that no BTC was sent to exchanges. This observation appears consistent with today’s movement.

Market response
Despite the multi-million-dollar transfer, Bitcoin prices remained stable, suggesting investors interpreted the movement as routine treasury activity.

However, the broader market showed signs of strength, with BTC rebounding 3.44% in the past 12 hours to $112,340. It has recovered from last week’s dip below $107,000.

Traders on X speculated whether the movement indicates preparations for a new custody setup or institutional collaboration.

However, most agreed it’s part of SpaceX’s ongoing portfolio management strategy.

For now, SpaceX’s on-chain posture continues to show active but unspent holdings, reinforcing its long-term alignment with Bitcoin exposure rather than short-term trading.

Hedera's shot towards a fresh all-time high relies on multiple ETF submissions due for decisions this quarter.

Cardano price shows continued weakness after a failed low-volume bounce, with the price action now eyeing the $0.53 support zone as bearish momentum remains intact.

Summary

Rejection from the value area low confirms bearish momentum.
Weak volume bounce fails to reclaim resistance.
$0.53 high-timeframe support remains the next major level to watch.

Cardano’s (ADA) price action continues to display signs of weakness following a failed low-volume recovery attempt. The recent retest of the value area low resulted in another rejection, sending the price back toward the $0.53 high-timeframe support.

Despite an oversold bounce after the latest capitulation event, momentum has not been strong enough to reclaim resistance, suggesting that ADA may continue to trade within a defined range until stronger volume returns.

ADA price key technical points

Value Area Low Rejection: ADA failed to reclaim the value area low, confirming resistance.
Weak Volume Bounce: The recent bounce lacked sufficient bullish volume to sustain momentum.
Next Key Support: $0.53 remains the critical high-timeframe support to watch in the near term.

ADAUSDT (1D) Chart, Source: TradingView
The latest move in Cardano’s price structure confirms continued bearish sentiment. After the capitulation event, ADA formed an oversold bounce that only managed to revisit the value area low, failing to retest the higher resistance zone above it. This inability to sustain a rally highlights the absence of bullish inflows and reinforces that the market remains under the control of sellers.

The rejection from the value area low has pushed the price back toward $0.53, a high-timeframe support that has historically served as a base during prior consolidations. Given the current weakness and lack of follow-through buying, it is likely that ADA will revisit this region in the immediate short term.

If $0.53 holds, it could establish a broader range between this support and the $0.76 resistance above. Such a range would likely define ADA’s trading behavior over the coming weeks, with oscillations between support and resistance creating a prolonged period of accumulation. However, a breakdown below $0.53 would expose further downside risk and could deepen the bearish market structure.

From a structural perspective, ADA remains in a bearish market structure, with lower highs and lower lows dominating the chart. The lack of strong trading volume during upward movements further validates this stance, suggesting that recent rebounds are corrective rather than trend-defining.

What to expect in the coming price action
As long as ADA remains below the value area low and fails to generate meaningful bullish volume, the probability of revisiting $0.53 support remains high.

If the level holds and buying pressure builds, a range-bound structure between $0.53 and $0.76 may form, offering opportunities for mid-term accumulation.

Hiroyuki Naka
CXO, Executive Officer, GM of Group CEO Office & Representative Director

Hello, everyone. My name is Naka, and I am the CXO. In the first part, I would like to explain the background of the establishment of the CXO role as well as its function in management. I hope this will help you to better understand ITOCHU's management policies and organizational structure.

The CXO or Chief Transformation Officer is a title that you may not often hear at other companies. This position was newly established in FY 2024. While the role is responsible for transforming our business scope and business model, I understand it may be difficult to envision this position. Although the CXO has various responsibilities, its most important and original purpose is the integration of management strategy and digital technologies.

Looking back, as a company, we recognize the necessity and importance of integrating management strategy and digital technologies, and began internal discussions in FY 2017. Some of you may remember that in the medium-term management plan announced in FY 2018, we disclosed the policy of reinvented business. However, this was before METI published the DX report, and before the term DX became widely [ TMX ] became widely [ like ]. More importantly, the plan itself was somewhat abstract and lacked concrete measures. We received criticism from analysts, the market did not accept it and the stock price declined. This is a bitter memory.

Nonetheless, we began taking internal actions from FY 2018 onward. First, under the Corporate Planning and Administration division, we formed the Business Innovation Unit, gathering elite members from

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP reminds investors of the upcoming November 20, 2025 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (“RCI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: RICK) securities between December 15, 2021 and September 16, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR RCI INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

What Happened?
On September 16, 2025, the New York Attorney General announced that top executives of RCI had been indicted “for their roles in a major, multimillion dollar criminal tax fraud and bribery scheme.” Specifically, the Company, along with five of its executives, and three of its Manhattan strip clubs, were facing 79 charges, including conspiracy, bribery, and criminal tax fraud stemming from the alleged bribe of a government tax auditor.

On this news, RCI’s stock price fell $5.53, or 15.9%, to close at $28.79 on September 16, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Defendants engaged in tax fraud; (2) Defendants committed bribery to cover up the fact that they committed tax fraud; (3) as a result, Defendants understated the legal risk facing the Company; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired RCI securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than November 20, 2025 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

Corning Incorporated (GLW - Free Report) is benefiting from solid customer growth across several segments. The company’s growing prowess in developing state-of-the-art cover materials is driving growth in the Specialty Materials segment. Major smartphone manufacturers, including Samsung, are deploying Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 in the next-gen Galaxy S25 Edge devices.

Recently, Apple has committed to investing around $600 billion over the next few years in the United States. Corning has become a major part of this initiative. Apple has committed $2.5 billion investment to develop all of iPhone and Apple Watch’s cover glass in Corning’s Kentucky manufacturing facilities. QuantumScape is also collaborating with Corning to jointly develop ceramic separator manufacturing capabilities for solid-state batteries.

Broadcom, a major player in the semiconductor industry, has also formed a collaboration with GLW. Leveraging Corning’s solution, Broadcom is aiming to deliver a next-generation co-packaged optics infrastructure designed to enhance the processing capabilities of AI data centers. Major telecom player, Lumen, accelerated its network expansion effort to match surging AI demand. It is sourcing next-generation fiber optic cable from Corning, driving growth in the Optical Communications segment.  Corning is also focusing on developing the domestic solar supply chain in the United States. The company expects to triple its sales run rate by 2027 and aims to add $1.6 billion in annualized revenues from the solar energy vertical.

Corning’s diverse portfolio offerings, catering to a wide range of industries, are a major strength. Such comprehensive product suite increase its resiliency amid growing macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges.

Per a report from Mordor Intelligence, the fiber optic cable market is projected to witness an 10.46% compound annual growth rate between 2025 and 2030. Another report from Mordor Intelligence suggests that the U.S. solar energy market will likely witness a 15.11% CAGR in the 2025-2030 period. GLW is well-positioned to gain from this emerging market trend. Automotive interior display, virtual reality systems, foldable smartphones and smartwatches also present solid growth potential.

Other Tech Firms Benefiting From a Diverse Business ModelA diversified business model and comprehensive portfolio offerings continue to drive a steady inflow of customers for Amphenol Corporation (APH - Free Report) . The company boasts a strong presence in automotive, broadband communication, Industrial, Information Technology and Data Communications, Military, Mobile Devices and Mobile Networks verticals.

Jabil is also betting big on the AI data center infrastructure market. The company is set to invest $500 million over the next several years in the Southeast U.S. region to expand its manufacturing capabilities. This will strengthen Jabil’s position in the AI hardware supply chain.

Key Takeaways ICICI Bank's Q2 profit reached INR123.6B, up 5.2% y/y on stronger NII and fee income.NII grew 7.4% y/y to INR215.3B, while non-interest income rose 13.2%, with fee income up 10.1%.Operating expenses climbed 12.4%, offsetting gains as shares fell 5.9% after the results.
ICICI Bank Ltd.’s (IBN - Free Report) profit after tax for second-quarter fiscal 2026 (ended Sept. 30, 2025) was INR123.6 billion ($1.42 billion), up 5.2% from the prior-year quarter.

Results benefited from growth in net interest income (NII) and non-interest income, along with lower provisions. The loan balance increased sequentially, which was another tailwind. However, an increase in expenses was the undermining factor. Probably, because of this, shares of the company lost 5.9% following the earnings release.

IBN’s NII & Fee Income Improve, Expenses RiseNII grew 7.4% year over year to INR215.3 billion ($2.47 billion). The net interest margin was 4.30%, up 3 basis points.

Non-interest income was INR73.6 billion ($843 million), growing 13.2% year over year. Fee income increased 10.1% year over year to INR64.9 billion ($743.2 million).

In the reported quarter, IBN recorded treasury income of INR2.20 billion ($25.2 million), plummeting 67.6% year over year.

Operating expenses totaled INR118.1 billion ($1.35 billion), up 12.4% year over year.

ICICI Bank’s Loans & Deposits IncreaseAs of Sept. 30, 2025, ICICI Bank’s total advances were INR14,084.6 billion ($158.6 billion), up 3.2% sequentially. Growth was primarily driven by a solid rise in retail loans, business banking loans, and domestic corporate and other loans.

Total deposits increased marginally on a sequential basis to INR16,128.3 billion ($181.6 billion).

IBN’s Credit Quality ImprovesAs of Sept. 30, 2025, the net non-performing assets (NPA) ratio was 0.39%, which declined from 0.42% in the prior-year period. Recoveries and upgrades (excluding write-offs and sales) of NPAs were INR36.48 billion ($417.7 million) in the reported quarter.

In the reported quarter, there were net additions of INR13.86 billion ($158.7 million) to gross NPA. Gross NPA additions were INR50.34 billion ($576.5 million), while gross NPA written-off was INR22.63 billion ($259.1 million).

Provisions (excluding provision for tax) decreased 25.9% year over year to INR9.14 billion ($104.7 million).

Capital Ratios Strong for ICICI BankIn compliance with the Reserve Bank of India's guidelines on Basel III norms, ICICI Bank's total capital adequacy was 17.00%. Tier-1 capital adequacy was 16.35% as of Sept. 30, 2025. Both ratios were well above the minimum requirements.

Our Take on IBNElevated expenses due to ICICI Bank’s initiatives to digitize banking operations are expected to adversely impact bottom-line growth in the coming quarters. Weak credit quality is another near-term concern for the company.

Earnings Release Dates of Other Foreign BanksBarclays (BCS - Free Report) is scheduled to announce quarterly numbers tomorrow.

The consensus estimate for BCS’ quarterly earnings has been unchanged at 54 cents per share over the past week. The figure implies a decline of 3.6% from the prior-year quarter’s actual.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DB’s quarterly earnings has been unchanged at 81 cents per share over the past week. The figure implies a decline of 9% from the prior-year quarter.

CompaniesNEW YORK, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Ananym Capital would like to see energy and technolgy company Baker Hughes spin out its oil field services and equipment business, arguing such a step could help push up the stock price by at least 60%.

"That's our preferred path based on our analysis," Ananym co-founder Charlie Penner said on Tuesday at the 13D Monitor Active Passive-Investment Summit in New York. "But we also have full confidence in Baker Hughes' board and management to choose the optimal path for shareholders."

Sign up here.

The company, which now has a market value of $46 billion, was created in 2017 through a merger of Baker Hughes and GE Oil and Gas and has two businesses.

At current market valuations, the whole company should be trading at 13X 2026 estimated earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization, Penner said, noting however that it is trading only at 9X EBITDA.

The Industrial and Energy Technologies business makes turbines, motors and compressors for LNG infrastructure and low-carbon energy sources like electricity from renewables, geothermal and hydrogen.

The oil field services and equipment business makes equipment and provides services for oil and gas exploration and the legacy Baker Hughes business.

Baker Hughes' stock price is up this year and has outperformed rivals Halliburton

(HAL.N), opens new tab and Schlumberger, which is now SLB

(SLB.N), opens new tab. But the bulk of Baker Hughes' earnings is contributed by the technologies unit, and management and the board recognize that investors have imposed a "sum of the parts valuation discount," Penner said.

Baker Hughes said it values the perspectives of all shareholders, and that it "will continue to engage with Ananym Capital to better understand their views and share ours." "We remain focused on executing our strategy to drive growth and deliver additional value to shareholders," a spokeswoman said.

Earlier this month, Baker Hughes said it will conduct a "comprehensive evaluation of capital allocation, business, cost structure and operations to continue delivering shareholder value."

Penner, who won a board victory at Exxon Mobil in 2021, and partner Alex Silver founded Ananym last year and have held constructive talks with Baker Hughes' management.

By separating the oil field business, the technologies segment could be properly valued, and each business could optimize its capital allocation strategy, including more investment and management focus for technologies.

The oil field business could be a "strong player" given its earnings are more weighted to production revenue for existing wells, instead of building new wells, and it has more international exposure than Halliburton and SLB, Penner said.

JPMorgan analysts have praised the company's actions, noting in a note earlier in October that it has "been one of the best-performing stocks in OFS (oil field services) by a wide

margin." Referring to the October 6 pledge to evaluate its business, the JPM analysts wrote "Today’s release suggests that the company isn't planning to rest on its laurels. This has been the company’s DNA under CEO Lorenzo Simonelli."

Ananym had urged healthcare products distributor Henry Schein to refresh its board, develop a CEO succession plan and cut costs. CEO Stanley Bergman, who held the position 35 years, is stepping down after Ananym threatened a board fight. It is also suggesting that auto parts supplier LKQ sell its European business.

Key Takeaways Alcoa is projected to post 4.1% higher Q3 revenues of $3.02B versus the prior-year figure.Aluminum sales likely rose 17% on stronger demand and smelter restarts in Europe and North America.Alumina sales may have fallen nearly 19% amid bauxite market weakness and environmental inspections.
Alcoa Corporation (AA - Free Report) is likely to register an increase in the top line from last year’s quarterly reading when it reports third-quarter 2025 earnings on Oct. 22, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $3.02 billion, indicating an increase of 4.1% from the prior-year’s quarterly figure.

The bottom line of this leading producer of bauxite, alumina and aluminum products is expected to have declined from the earlier year’s quarterly figure. Over the past 30 days, the consensus estimate for earnings per share has decreased 116% to an adjusted loss of seven cents per share. The figure indicates an increase of 112.3% from last year’s quarterly level.

The company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 54.6%, on average, beating estimates all through.

Key Factors to Note Ahead of AA’s ResultsAn increase in demand for products like slab, billet and rod in both Europe and North America is expected to have benefited Alcoa’s Aluminum segment in the third quarter of 2025. Also, the restart of the Alumar and Warrick smelter is likely to have aided the segment’s sales.

For the third quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Aluminum segment’s third-party sales is $2.11 billion, implying a 17% increase from the year-ago number. The consensus mark for the Aluminum segment’s total sales is pegged at $2.11 billion, indicating a 16.8% rise from the year-ago reported number.

Synergistic gains from partnerships and acquisitions made by the company are expected to have boosted revenues. In March 2025, Alcoa and IGNIS EQT entered into a joint venture agreement. Under the agreement, AA owns 75% of the equity and continues to operate the San Ciprián production site. In August 2024, Alcoa acquired Alumina Limited. This acquisition bolstered its position as a pure-play and upstream aluminum company worldwide.

Also, Alcoa's efforts to increase smelter and refinery capacity are likely to have supported its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.

However, Alcoa’s Alumina segment’s results are expected to put up a weak show due to weakness in the bauxite market, arising from safety and environmental inspections. The consensus mark for the Alumina segment’s third-party sales is pegged at $813 million, implying an 18.9% decrease from the year-ago number. The consensus mark for the Alumina segment’s total sales is pegged at $1.40 billion, indicating a 15.5% decline from the year-ago number.

Given the company’s extensive geographic presence, its operations are subject to global political risks and foreign exchange headwinds. A stronger U.S. dollar is likely to have hurt Alcoa's overseas business in the quarter.
