Market Signal Briefing

Legendary trader Peter Brandt has weighed in on the recent cryptocurrency market downturn, drawing connections between the decline and his long-held analysis of Bitcoin’s cyclical patterns. Brandt revealed that he had identified October 5 as a likely top for Bitcoin’s latest rally, based on his proprietary interpretation of four-year halving cycles. Although he didn’t take a short position, he emphasized that the timing of the recent correction closely aligned with his forecasts.

Brandt’s approach to market analysis revolves around Bitcoin’s halving events, which occur roughly every four years and cut the rate of new BTC issuance in half. Historically, these halvings have acted as structural milestones that separate major market lows and highs. According to Brandt, a tradable top often emerges around six weeks after each halving, a trend consistent with previous bull markets.

The latest crypto sell-off, however, was accelerated by macroeconomic shocks. The U.S. government’s new 100% tariff on Chinese goods and restrictions on software exports triggered widespread panic across global financial markets. Bitcoin, which had just reached a record high above $125,000, fell sharply by over 12%, dropping below $113,000. Data from Coinglass revealed that more than $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated within 24 hours, impacting 1.6 million traders worldwide—over $7 billion in a single hour.

Despite the turmoil, market leaders remain optimistic. Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy reaffirmed his long-term faith in Bitcoin, calling volatility a natural part of its evolution. Anthony Pompliano and Michaël van de Poppe echoed similar sentiments, with the latter suggesting that altcoins may have reached their bottom. Meanwhile, Samson Mow reminded investors that “October isn’t over yet,” while James E. Thorne pointed out Bitcoin’s resilience above $110,000, reinforcing confidence in the asset’s underlying strength.

Cardano (ADA) is showing signs of a mild recovery after a sharp 20% decline in the past 24 hours, extending its 30-day losses to 26.2%. Following the crash, ADA dropped to its lowest level in weeks but has since rebounded near the $0.65 mark. This recovery attempt is being fueled by two groups — whales and retail traders — both increasing their holdings as prices fall.

According to data from Santiment, wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million ADA have grown their collective balance from 13.06 billion ADA on October 10 to 13.20 billion today, adding roughly 140 million ADA worth about $89.6 million. This steady accumulation, even during market turbulence, indicates that large holders expect price stabilization or a medium-term recovery.

Supporting this sentiment, the Money Flow Index (MFI) has formed a higher low, signaling capital inflows despite the recent price drop. Retail investors are also joining in, as TradingView data shows growing buying pressure from smaller wallets, suggesting broader confidence in ADA’s rebound potential.

However, the technical outlook still carries risks. The Smart Money Index (SMI), which tracks professional traders’ positioning, has fallen sharply and remains weak, showing limited institutional interest. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has hit the oversold level near 30 but has not shown a bullish divergence — indicating that momentum has yet to reverse decisively.

Adding to the caution, Cardano’s descending trendline continues to form a bearish triangle on the daily chart, implying potential downside unless buyers can maintain momentum. For ADA to confirm a rebound, it must close above $0.68 to target $0.76 and $0.89. A break below $0.61, however, could expose it to further losses toward $0.55.

Despite weak technicals, whale and retail accumulation offers a glimmer of hope that Cardano’s recent slump could evolve into a gradual recovery if buying momentum strengthens.

Key takeaways:

Friday’s Bitcoin price crash shows volatility persists in the spot BTC ETF era, with leverage and liquidity stress amplifying losses.

Liquidations hit $5 billion as portfolio margin systems failed, highlighting risks of illiquid collateral assets.

Bitcoin derivatives suggest market makers remain cautious amid low liquidity, insolvency rumors, and Monday’s US national holiday, leading to a partial market closure.

Bitcoin (BTC) plunged by $16,700 on Friday, marking a 13.7% correction in less than eight hours. The sharp drop to $105,000 wiped out 13% of total futures open interest in BTC terms. Despite the steep losses and cascading liquidations, these figures are far from unusual in Bitcoin’s history.

Source: TradingView / CointelegraphEven excluding the “COVID crash” — an impressive 41.1% intraday plunge on March 12, 2020 — which may have been amplified after the leading Bitcoin derivatives exchange at the time, BitMEX, faced liquidation issues and a brief 15-minute outage, there are still 48 other days when Bitcoin endured even deeper corrections.

Bitcoin/USD in May 2021, 4-hour. Source: TradingView / CointelegraphA more recent example occurred on Nov. 9, 2022, when Bitcoin suffered a 16.1% intraday correction, plunging to $15,590. That episode coincided with the FTX collapse, which escalated after a report revealed that nearly 40% of Alameda Research’s assets were tied to FTX’s native token, FTT. Sam Bankman-Fried’s conglomerate soon halted withdrawals and eventually filed for bankruptcy.

Bitcoin volatility remains high despite ETF-driven market maturityOne could argue that intraday crashes of 10% or more have become less frequent since the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) launched in the United States in January 2024. Still, considering Bitcoin’s historical four-year cycle, it may be premature to claim volatility has truly eased. Furthermore, the market structure itself has evolved as trading volumes on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have surged.

The post-ETF events in question include a 15.4% intraday crash on Aug. 5, 2024, a 13.3% correction on March 5, 2024, and a 10.5% drop just two days after the spot ETF debut in January 2024. Regardless of the specific price swings, Friday’s $5 billion in Bitcoin futures liquidations suggests it could take months or even years for the market to fully stabilize.

Hyperliquid, a perpetual decentralized exchange, reported that $2.6 billion in bullish positions were forcefully closed. Meanwhile, traders on several platforms, including Binance, reported issues with portfolio margin calculations. At the same time, DEX users complained about auto-deleveraging, which occurs when counterparties fail to meet margin requirements.

Source: X/CoinMambaIn essence, even traders sitting on significant gains saw some positions unilaterally terminated, creating major problems for those using portfolio margin rather than isolated risk management. This situation is not necessarily the fault of exchanges or evidence of malpractice; it is a byproduct of using leverage in relatively illiquid markets. Some altcoins plunged 40% or more, triggering a collapse in traders’ collateral deposits.

BTC/USDT Perpetual futures vs. spot BTC/USD prices. Source: TradingView / CointelegraphBitcoin/USDT perpetual futures traded about 5% below BTC/USD spot prices during the crash and have yet to recover to pre-event levels. Normally, such discrepancies would present easy opportunities for market makers, but something appears to be preventing a return to normal conditions.

Source: X/beast_icoWhile Friday’s crash clearly marked a disruption, it could also be attributed to thin liquidity over the weekend, especially with US bond markets closed on Monday for a national holiday. Other potential factors include rumors of insolvency, which may have prompted market makers to steer clear of additional risk.

As a result, it may take several days for Bitcoin derivatives markets to fully gauge the extent of the damage and for traders to determine whether the $105,000 level will serve as support or if further correction lies ahead.

New Era Energy & Digital (NASDAQ:NEHC) Chairman and CEO Will Gray spoke with Proactive about the company’s progress as it moves into Phase 2 of its Texas Critical Data Center project. 

Gray explained that the company currently owns 235 acres in Texas through its joint venture with SHARON AI, with an additional 203 acres under option to close within 90 days. Once completed, the site will total 438 acres, with plans to scale the facility up to one gigawatt and beyond. 

Discussing the next steps, Gray said Phase 2 involves site clearing, environmental work, and design planning with an engineering partner to develop a potential powered shell data center.  

He explained that this model could provide “a more constant revenue stream” compared with powered land sales. 

Gray also highlighted the advantages of the site’s location in an attainment zone, allowing up to 250 tons of emissions per year, compared with much stricter limits in non-attainment zones. He said this helps speed up the permitting process and supports larger-scale power delivery. 

Construction is expected to begin in early 2026, marking a key milestone for the company’s expansion. 

Proactive: Welcome back inside our Proactive newsroom. Joining me now is Will Gray, the CEO of New Era Energy & Digital. Exciting news from the company — you and I recently talked about the completion of phase one and now phase two is getting underway at your Texas critical data center. Let’s remind everyone about the data center and what phase two looks like. 

Will Gray: Sure. We’ve acquired 235 acres that we own and operate through our joint venture with SHARON AI under Texas Critical Data Centers. We also have an option to close on an additional 203 acres within the next 60 to 90 days, once we wrap up some environmental studies.  

That will give us a total of 438 acres. Our goal is to scale this project up to one gigawatt and beyond, using what’s known as behind-the-meter power generation, with the potential to add grid power later. 

So what does phase two involve? 

Phase two is already underway. We’re preparing for site clearing — focusing on runoff water, storage drains, and other groundwork to get the land build-ready. We’re also working with an engineering firm to design and build a potential data center. We’re considering a “powered shell” model, which would allow us to lease the facility to hyperscalers. That approach provides a more consistent revenue stream compared with powered land sales, which tend to create chunkier, less predictable revenues. 

Are there lessons you’ve drawn from other projects that help you make faster decisions? 

Absolutely. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel. We’ve looked closely at what’s been done elsewhere — what works and what doesn’t. For us, it’s all about speed to power and power to energy, which is exactly what our customers want. There’s massive demand for data centers everywhere, and by focusing on behind-the-meter power generation, we can control our own destiny. 

And you’re still on track for beginning construction in early 2026? 

Yes, that’s the plan. Right now, the land is still raw, but we’re working on applications to include it as an industrial district with the City of Odessa. The site sits just outside city limits, in Ector County.  

One of our key differentiators is that we’re in an attainment zone. That means we can emit up to 250 tons per year, compared with just 50 to 100 in non-attainment areas, which makes permitting faster and allows us to deliver more power to customers.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) between February 18, 2025 and July 31, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important November 14, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Fluor 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 Fluor class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44864 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 14, 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, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) costs associated with the Gordie Howe International Bridge (“Gordie Howe”), the Interstate 365 Lyndon B. Johnson (“I-635/LBJ”) and Interstate 35E (“I-35”) highways in Texas projects were growing because of, inter alia, subcontractor design errors, price increases, and scheduling delays; (2) the foregoing, as well as customer reduction in capital spending and client hesitation around economic uncertainty, was having, or was likely to have, a significant negative impact on Fluor’s business and financial results; (3) accordingly, Fluor’s financial guidance for the full year 2025 was unreliable and/or unrealistic, the effectiveness of Fluor’s risk mitigation strategy was overstated, and the impact of economic uncertainty on Fluor’s business and financial results was understated; and (4) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Fluor class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44864 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.

USDe recovered quickly, and Ethena Labs confirmed that the mint and redeem functionality remained operational, with the stablecoin remaining overcollateralized.Updated Oct 11, 2025, 6:41 p.m. Published Oct 11, 2025, 6:18 p.m.

Ethana’s yield-bearing stablecoin, USDe, briefly lost its 1:1 dollar peg during the recent sharp market sell-off triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 100% additional tariff on China.

On Binance, USDe dropped to 65 cents before quickly regaining parity with the dollar during what’s seen as crypto’s largest ever liquidation event in U.S. dollar value. More than $19 billion in liquidations occurred over just 24 hours.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

USDe, which currently offers a 5.5% yield to holders, is backed by a mix of cryptocurrencies and uses a basis trade strategy, a financial setup that aims to profit from price gaps between spot and futures markets.

Trump’s shock announcement sent investors fleeing to safe havens like gold and U.S. Treasuries.

USDe’s dip had outsized effects, according to crypto trader and economist Alex Krüger, as tokens that aren’t as actively traded on centralized exchanges “didn’t suffer as much” and some quickly recovered from the drop.

This is as exchanges like Binance and Bybit marked the price closer to real-time trading, while lending protocols like Aave had USDe hardcoded it at $1, which shielded them from some of the immediate impact of the brief depew.

Ethena Labs said in a social media post that USDe remains over-collateralized and that widespread liquidations affected the secondary market price of USDe.

“We can confirm the mint & redeem functionality has remained operational throughout with no downtime experienced, and USDe remains overcollateralised,” Ethena Labs wrote in the post.

“Due to liquidations perpetual contracts have been and continue to trade below spot. This creates additional unexpected uPNL within USDe, due to Ethena being short these contracts, which is currently in the process of being realised to the benefit of the protocol,” the project added.

Binance has said it’s reviewing affected accounts and liquidations, along with the “appropriate compensation measures.”

Ethena’s governance token, ENA, fell as much as 40% during the slide before it started to recover. It’s down nearly 25% in the last 24-hour period.

Solana has become one of the most promising digital asset blockchains in the last several years. Solana has built a reputation among developers, institutions, and even retail investors, being the fastest transaction platform with low costs.

Sponsored

Simultaneously, Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange globally, has been at the centre of supporting adoption in various ecosystems by ensuring that, through its Launchpool initiative, project visibility is offered to projects at their early stages. The convergence between the two forces, the Binance platform Launchpool and the Solana ecosystem, which is growing, is also a significant milestone in the evolution of decentralised finance and blockchain innovation.

The connection becomes obvious when the initiatives of Binance that can enhance Solana-based projects are analysed. Launchpool has served to introduce millions of Binance users to new blockchain applications by providing access to new tokens before they find their way to mainstream listings. In Solana’s case, it implies a direct reach to one of the most liquid user bases in crypto. With the Solana price gaining more and more traction among traders and long-term investors, Launchpool is a potent accelerant that can help close the distance between ambitious Solana startups and a worldwide fanbase.

Understanding Binance Launchpool
Binance Launchpool is a service enabling a visitor to deposit popular cryptocurrencies, including BNB, BUSD, or other coins, to earn new tokens before their official listing on Binance. The idea behind the concept is very simple but highly effective: it allows users to get early access to new projects at no initial cost other than a stake and provides tokens to them. In the case of the projects, it can provide an influx of liquidity, marketing, and credibility in massive amounts.

Binance CMO Rachel Conlan echoed the platform’s innovative attitude, something that sums up the Binance Launchpool perfectly: “Every move we make at Binance is designed to scale awareness, build trust, and transform curiosity into lasting confidence. That’s how we grow not just our platform, but the entire crypto ecosystem.”

Solana-based tokens become visible and distributed as soon as they join this ecosystem. Instead of having to look for an audience in an already saturated market, Solana projects will be able to utilise Binance, which has a large audience of retail and institutional investors. This generates a symbiotic bond: Solana ecosystem receives a wave of attention and investment, and Binance reinforces its image as the primary launchpad of innovative blockchain projects.

How Solana Benefits from Launchpool Integration
The effect of Launchpool on Solana cannot be underrated. Solana has always stood in the line of high-performance decentralised applications, yet numerous of these endeavours do not find their way. Launchpool is providing them with an avenue of breaking traditional barriers by showing their tokens to millions of active users.

To Solana developers, this exposure is not just capital. It establishes the space in which the ideas can be tested at a large scale, user communities can be organised within a relatively short period, and liquidity can develop naturally. Additionally, since tokens emitted via Launchpool tend to receive substantial trading volume after being listed, it creates valid data sets that investors can use to currently assess the viability of Solana projects.

This, in turn, reinforces the story of Solana as a system, not only capable of fast transactions but also of supporting affluent communities and long-term development. Through the support of Binance, in addition to Launchpool’s reputation, Solana projects can shine against the backdrop of an increasingly competitive Web3 industry.

Furthermore, the Binance Insights Hub has highlighted that Bitcoin may be losing its dominance in the market: “Bitcoin dominance dropped to 57.3%”. This highlights that there are chances within the space for alternative cryptocurrencies like Solana to make their mark.

The Role of Liquidity and User Adoption
Liquidity is commonly the blood of new tokens, and this is where Launchpool offers an incomparable edge. Solana-based projects which are launched through Launchpool are immediately given market depth so that initial investors are not required to undergo rampant slippage in buying and selling. This not only stabilises the price of tokens but also instils confidence in users who would otherwise be reluctant to use it when it is newer.

Furthermore, the presence of Binance worldwide exposes the Solana projects in areas where a Solana exchange might not be available yet. This can speed up adoption globally and the feedback loop of more users using Solana-based tokens is an incentive to developers to build more, which in turn provides more attention and investment to the ecosystem.

The Bigger Picture
The implications of Binance Launchpool for Solana are significant. With ongoing efforts by Solana to improve its infrastructure in the form of Firedancer, DoubleZero, and other developments of its validators, the network is set to enable unprecedented throughput. As Binance scales, incorporating Solana projects, the scene is positioned to ensure a continued rise in decentralised finance, gaming, and real-world asset tokenisation on the network.

Ultimately, trust is another element that makes this collaboration even more forceful. When users see that Binance Launchpool supports the Solana token, they will have a higher chance of investing in proper projects that can offer them more opportunities for engaging in the crypto space. This helps ease adoption and open doors to both casual investors and institutions to get into the ecosystem.

Whale wallets boosted holdings by 22.45%, adding roughly 0.76 million LINK ($13.7 million). LINK trades near $17.70, eyeing $21.3–$27.9 if breakout continues.Large wallets added about 0.66 million UNI ($4 million) as the price held an ascending triangle pattern. A breakout above $6.7 could target $8–$9.6 next.Mega whales bought 0.82 billion DOGE ($156 million) during the selloff. With CMF above zero and fading bearish pressure, DOGE could revisit $0.26–$0.30 soon.The market tumbled after Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on Chinese imports, wiping out nearly $19 billion in crypto liquidations within a day. Yet while traders panicked, crypto whales were seen buying.

On-chain data shows large investors added exposure across three altcoins — signaling confidence that this sell-off was sentiment-driven, not structural. Here’s a look at what whales are buying and why these tokens could lead the next rebound.

Chainlink (LINK)Donald Trump’s 100% China tariffs triggered one of the steepest market-wide selloffs in months. While most altcoins crumbled under pressure, Chainlink (LINK) drew quiet accumulation from large holders — and the data backs it up.

According to Nansen, whale wallets holding over 100,000 LINK boosted their positions by 22.45%, bringing total holdings to 4.16 million LINK. That means whales added roughly 0.76 million LINK, worth about $13.7 million at the current LINK price.

The top 100 addresses also increased their balance by 0.14%, bringing their collective stash to 646.48 million LINK — a net addition of around 0.90 million LINK, or $16.3 million.

LINK Whales: NansenThe accumulation wasn’t random. Nansen’s data also shows that smart money wallets rose 1.51% (expecting a bounce), and public figure wallets climbed 1.97%. Meanwhile, exchange balances grew 5.85%, meaning retail traders were likely selling.

This move aligns with Chainlink’s strong fundamentals. During the selloff, Chainlink’s oracles delivered real-time pricing data that reportedly allowed Aave to process over $180 million in liquidations without downtime.

The network’s reliability under stress likely reinforced whale conviction in LINK’s DeFi role.

Technically, LINK trades inside a symmetrical consolidation channel, showing tightening price action before a potential breakout.

On the two-day chart, a bullish RSI divergence has formed: while prices made a lower low near $7.90, RSI made a higher low, hinting at a fortune reversal or at least a rebound.

LINK Price Analysis: TradingViewThe Relative Strength Index (RSI) measures how strong buying or selling pressure is on a scale from 0 to 100, helping identify when assets are overbought or oversold.

At press time, LINK trades near $17.70, just under resistance at $18.40. A breakout above $21.30 could open the path toward $24.90, and a 2-day close above $27.90 might send LINK toward $35.50.

However, if the 2-day candle closes under $16.40, we can expect the bears to dominate.

Uniswap (UNI)While the wider market absorbed the tariff shock, Uniswap (UNI) saw quiet whale accumulation. Wallets holding large amounts of UNI increased their balances from 690.10 million to 690.76 million, adding roughly 0.66 million UNI, worth about $4 million at the current UNI price.

Uniswap Whales: SantimentSponsored

The move came as Uniswap processed nearly $9 billion in daily trading volume, its highest in months, and did so without downtime or network stress — a sign of DeFi stability even in extreme volatility.

Large sell offs are good reminders of how DeFi is simply built different

Uniswap did close to $9b in trading volume today – well above the norm – with no stress or downtime https://t.co/z9SFPCKx1Q

— Hayden Adams 🦄 (@haydenzadams) October 11, 2025
The price chart validates the crypto whale conviction. UNI trades within an ascending triangle, a bullish continuation structure marked by higher lows and a flat upper resistance.

The recent crash produced a long wick, but buyers managed to close the two-day candle back inside the trendline, keeping the pattern intact.

UNI Price Analysis: TradingViewIf UNI breaks above $6.70, the setup opens room for a move toward $8.00 and $9.60. For now, the price structure and whale positioning together suggest bullish bias remains intact despite the broader correction. Invalidation exists if the 2-day candle closes under $5.80.

Dogecoin (DOGE)Among the top memecoins, Dogecoin (DOGE) stood out during the tariff-driven crash. What’s remarkable is that even after dropping nearly 23% in the past 24 hours, DOGE saw one of the most aggressive whale accumulations across the market. This is a clear sign of conviction amid panic.

According to on-chain data, wallets holding over one billion DOGE increased their balances from 71.22 billion to 72.04 billion, adding about 0.82 billion DOGE during the selloff.

At the current DOGE price, that represents roughly $156 million worth of new accumulation by the mega crypto whales.

Dogecoin Whales: SantimentTechnically, Dogecoin is trading near $0.19, rebounding from the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement zone around $0.20. A sustained move above $0.20 could open the door toward $0.22 — the key 0.618 Fibonacci level. That could be followed by $0.26 and $0.30. However, a daily close below $0.17 would invalidate this rebound setup.

Supporting the bullish outlook, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) — which measures money inflow and outflow by large wallets — has stayed consistently above zero throughout the crash.

This indicates that buying pressure remained strong even as the market corrected.

Dogecoin Price Analysis: TradingViewMeanwhile, the Bull Bear Power (BBP) indicator, which tracks the strength balance between buyers and sellers, shows the red bearish bars steadily shrinking. The falling bearish power suggests selling momentum is fading, aligning with the rebound in CMF.

Ver allegedly failed to pay $48 million in taxes tied to his Bitcoin holdings after renouncing U.S. citizenship.

Roger Ver, the early Bitcoin evangelist famously known as “Bitcoin Jesus,” has reached a $48 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in a high-profile tax fraud case.

The development comes after a public plea for presidential intervention in his lawsuit earlier this year.

$48 Million DOJ Deal
The New York Times reported on Thursday that the cryptocurrency investor has entered into a tentative deferred-prosecution agreement with federal authorities to resolve criminal charges filed against him last year.

This follows him being accused of fraud and tax evasion in 2024 for allegedly failing to pay $48 million in taxes on his digital currency holdings. Under the terms of the agreement, the accused is required to pay the same amount to the government.

The deal, which has yet to be filed in court and remains subject to change, says that the accusations will be dropped if he complies with all conditions set by the DOJ.

Ver has, however, remained silent on the matter. “I’d LOVE to say more, but I will follow my tax lawyer’s advice like I’ve been doing for decades,” he wrote to NY Times reporters. “Unfortunately, that means ‘no comment,’” he added.

The former California resident renounced his U.S. citizenship in 2014 and was arrested in Spain last year following the Justice Department’s announcement of plans to extradite him. Prosecutors accused him of concealing the true value of his Bitcoin holdings to avoid paying exit taxes owed when relinquishing his citizenship.

Roger Ver Enlisted Trump Allies in Fraud Case
During the legal proceedings, the 46-year-old reportedly hired several people with ties to U.S. President Donald Trump. The media outlet revealed that he had paid $600,000 to Roger Stone to help challenge the tax charges. He also engaged lawyers David Schoen and Christopher M. Kise, and worked with a lobbying firm run by Trump fundraiser Brian Ballard.

In January this year, Ver had asked for assistance from the president, claiming in a social media video that he was being targeted for his political beliefs and advocacy for cryptocurrency. The Bitcoin proponent also shared that he was facing a potential sentence of over 100 years for his activism.

Since Trump began his second term, the U.S. government’s stance on cryptocurrency has changed a lot. The SEC has dropped several lawsuits, including cases against Coinbase and other major firms, reversing the strict enforcement seen under Joe Biden’s administration.

Early in his term, the president also pardoned Ross Ulbricht, founder of the Silk Road marketplace, and later the BitMEX founders convicted of anti–money laundering violations. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao is also seeking clemency for his money-laundering charges.

How much Bitcoin will you need to retire? This new calculator will tell you Nate Whitehill · 44 mins ago · 3 min read

“Number go up” is not a retirement strategy. Long-term planning needs explicit assumptions, clear knobs to turn, and a way to translate a BTC balance into annual spending power.

CryptoSlate’s Bitcoin retirement calculator does exactly that, marrying a transparent price path with macro toggles and two spending frameworks so you can think in dollars, years, and probabilities, not vibes.

What the calculator doesEstimates your BTC at retirement, based on what you hold today plus what you plan to add each year.Projects a BTC price at your retirement year under Base, Bull, and Bear scenarios.Converts that to portfolio value, then to annual spending using two methods:Equal slice: An even split of your portfolio across your retirement years.Safe Withdrawal Rate: Often set near 4 percent, which targets sustainable spending adjusted for inflation.Lets you toggle macro events that often drive BTC cycles, such as ETF flows, regulation, global liquidity, miner policy, and more.Key terms, quick definitionsSWR, Safe Withdrawal Rate, is a rule of thumb for how much you can spend from a portfolio each year while aiming to preserve purchasing powerSWF, Sovereign Wealth Fund, a state-owned fund investing national savings or resource revenues, which may hold gold, bonds, equities, or, if policy allows, BTCMacro multipliers, the model’s way to reflect real-world tailwinds and headwinds without pretending to predict exact datesThe anchors at a glanceThese are editable in the tool; you can tune them to your house view.

How should I use the Bitcoin retirement calculator?Homework you can audit: the math is visible, the levers are explicit, the assumptions are yoursScenario thinking: compare Base, Bull, and Bear, do not rely on a single numberActionable planning: see how much BTC you may need to fund your yearly spending target, both with an equal slice and with a withdrawal rateMacro sensitivity: explore how policy shifts, liquidity, and adoption pathways shape your planHow do I use the calculator properly?Enter a target annual spending in today’s dollars, and the tool will compute how much BTC you may need by your retirement yearToggle tailwinds and headwinds to stress test resultsAdjust the SWR to match your risk tolerance; taxes and fees matter, so be conservativeRevisit your inputs as market structure evolves, new ETFs, new jurisdictions, new energy dynamicsBitcoin retirement calculator methodology in plain EnglishWhat the macro toggles representStrong global spot ETF flows, sustained inflows through regulated wrappers, and model portfoliosRegulatory clarity, clear rules for custody, disclosures, and taxesSovereign or SWF reserve adoption, a small BTC sleeve held by a central bank or a SWF (Sovereign Wealth Fund), a state-owned investment fundSupportive energy policy for miners, recognition of miners as flexible load or methane mitigation partnersRisk on global liquidity, easier financial conditions, and lower real ratesHeadwinds, tight liquidity, adverse regulation, protocol incidents, recession, or deflation shocksSpending math that maps to everyday lifeBTC at retirement = BTC now + annual BTC added × years to retirementPortfolio at retirement = BTC at retirement × scenario priceEqual slice, nominal = portfolio ÷ years in retirementEqual slice, in today’s dollars = nominal slice ÷ inflation factor to retirementSWR, nominal = portfolio × safe withdrawal rateSWR, in today’s dollars = SWR nominal ÷ inflation factor to retirementAnchor-based price path, then macro adjustmentsWe use a simple, auditable approach:

Anchors at key waypoints set directional midpoints for each scenario, then we interpolate between them:

2028, 2033, 2040, 2050, 2075Each has Base, Bull, and Bear values.Log interpolation between anchors, we calculate the Compound Annual Growth Rate between two anchor years, then grow forward to your retirement year.

CAGR = (P₂ / P₁)^(1 / Δt) − 1Retirement price = P₁ × (1 + CAGR)^(years to retirement)Macro multipliers, the checkboxes you toggle, apply multiplicative effects to each scenario. For example, strong ETF flows lift Base and Bull more than Bear, while tight liquidity trims all three, especially Bear.

Planning is risk management, not a crystal ball. CryptoSlate’s Bitcoin Retirement Calculator helps you connect your BTC stack to real-world dollars and years, while keeping the assumptions on the table where they belong. Try it, see where your plan stands today, then iterate with better information tomorrow.

Latest Bitcoin Stories

Ether (ETH), the native cryptocurrency of the layer-1 Ethereum blockchain network, is down about 6.7% in the past 24 hours, following Friday’s market crash, showing greater price resilience than many altcoins, which crashed by over 95% in some cases.

The market crash sparked by US President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement took the price of ETH down to a low of about $3,510 on Friday, a decline of over 20% in a single day.

Price tapped the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA), a dynamic support level, before rebounding to over $3,800. The relative strength index (RSI) is also at 35, nearing oversold conditions, signaling a potential reversal to the upside. 

Ethereum price action and analysis. Source: TradingViewThe sudden market downturn liquidated nearly 1.6 million crypto traders, according to Coinglass. Following the market carnage, Sassal, a crypto investor, said:

“BTC and ETH did relatively well compared to the long-tail of alts, which nuked 70% or more, with some even going down 95% or more. I'm not usually into conspiracies, but clearly this was not normal market behavior.”Friday’s market crash represented the most severe crypto liquidation event in history, wiping away up to $20 billion in 24 hours and shaking investor confidence in the markets, as fears of a protracted trade war between the US and China gripped traders.

ETH to $5,500 next or will inbound sell pressure suppress price? ETH is down over 22% from its all-time high of $4,957 reached in August, according to data from TradingView.

Analysts from investment research firm Fundstrat forecast that ETH could rally to a new all-time high of $5,550 after bottoming out in Friday’s market downturn.

The Ethereum exchange inflow mean, a metric that tracks the number of coins sent to exchanges for possible selling, reached 79 on Saturday, according to CryptoQuant.

This marks the highest level of ETH exchange inflows recorded in 2025. Higher exchange inflow levels can mean increased selling pressure, while reduced exchange inflows signal that investors are holding for the long term, creating a foundation for price increases. 

Withdrawals from Ethereum’s staking queue also hit a record $10 billion in October, which could signal potential sell pressure from validators exiting the queue, but does not necessarily mean they will sell, analysts from market intelligence platform Nansen told Cointelegraph.

Deutsche Bank analysts have highlighted parallels between gold and Bitcoin, as both assets continue to outperform this year. Other analysts have also made bullish predictions for BTC, noting that the flagship crypto appears to be mirroring the precious metal’s price action as investors jump on the ‘debasement trade.’

Deutsche Bank Draws Parallels Between Gold And Bitcoin
A Deutsche Bank report highlighted how the bank’s analysts argue that the same behavior that central banks exhibited towards gold during the 20th century has similar parallels to the way Bitcoin is now viewed. The analysts also noted that BTC is seeing record-breaking performance this year, just as gold, which topped $4,000 an ounce for the first time this month. 

Furthermore, Deutsche Bank analysts stated that Bitcoin is increasingly being discussed among policymakers as a reserve asset, alongside gold. Interestingly, the bank has predicted that central banks could accumulate BTC as a reserve asset alongside gold by 2030. The analysts noted how BTC has similar characteristics to gold, with it being viewed as a hedge against macro uncertainty. 

This has earned Bitcoin the tag ‘Digital gold,’ while investors continue to pile into BTC as an alternative to gold as part of the ‘debasement trade.’ This trade has become more heightened thanks to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, which has further sparked macro uncertainty. Analyst Holger Zschaepitz noted that BTC is following its analogue counterpart, having recently hit a new high above $125,000. 

He added that this was a milestone in the ongoing debasement trade, as investors seek protection from currency devaluation. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Merlijn stated that BTC moves when gold leads and that in every previous macro breakout, Bitcoin has followed with parabolic force. In line with this, the analyst predicted that the flagship crypto could rally to $160,000 next if the pattern repeats. This aligns with JPMorgan’s analysis, which finds that BTC remains undervalued relative to gold and could rally to $165,000 by year-end.

BTC Could Reach $644,000 Based on Gold Correlation
VanEck’s Head of Digital Assets Research, Matthew Sigel, stated that Bitcoin could reach half of gold’s market cap after the next halving in 2028. At the current gold price, he noted that this implies that the flagship crypto could rally to as high $644,000.  Gold currently has a market cap of $27 trillion, while BTC’s market cap stands at just $2.2 trillion. 

Sigel explained that roughly half of gold’s value stems from its use as a store of value rather than from industrial or jewelry demand. He added that surveys show younger consumers in emerging markets increasingly prefer Bitcoin as a store of value over gold. SkyBridge CEO Anthony Scaramucci echoed a similar sentiment, stating that as younger people age into senior positions, there will be a major shift in allocation from gold to BTC. 

At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $112,500, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The Dogecoin price has reached a key point on the charts, tapping into the Imbalance Zone (IMB) around $0.24. This area now stands as a potential pivot point that could determine whether the popular meme coin rebounds toward $0.27 or continues its decline. Analysts are watching the zone closely, suggesting it could be a make-or-break moment for Dogecoin’s short-term structure. 

Dogecoin Price Holds IMB Zone As Bulls Eye $0.27
Crypto analyst ‘Blockchain Baller’ disclosed on X social media on Thursday that Dogecoin has “tapped the IMB zone after a clean manipulation and structure break,” signaling the potential end of a corrective phase. At the time, the analyst’s 4-hour chart showed DOGE hovering around the $0.235 – $0.245 region—an area that historically acts as a liquidity zone where price inefficiencies often get filled before a move higher. 

Blockchain Baller asserts that manipulation and structural breaks are both classic signs that the market may be preparing for a reversal. The analyst notes that price has reacted multiple times in the same region, showing that buyers are stepping in to defend the zone. 

The chart analysis also highlights the zone between $0.235 and $0.245 as the critical decision point for DOGE bulls. If price climbs back to this level and holds it as support, Blockchain Baller predicts a short-term rebound toward the $0.26 – $0.27 range. For a bullish confirmation, the analyst suggests that the price would need to break above “short-term resistance“ with increasing momentum. 

For now, Dogecoin’s immediate path seems to depend on how it reacts to the IMB zone. Blockchain Baller has indicated that a strong bounce could mark the beginning of a new impulsive leg, while a breakdown below $0.235 could temporarily delay recovery. 

Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.19. Chart: TradingView
Dogecoin Price Targets $6 Amid Market Decline
On a broader timeframe, crypto market expert Kaleo has pointed out that Dogecoin’s market structure is gradually positioning itself for a major upward move. His long-term chart analysis draws striking parallels between DOGE’s current price action and the previous cycles observed before each Bitcoin halving event. 

In the past, Dogecoin has consistently broken out from long-term descending triangles shortly after a Bitcoin halving, leading to explosive price rallies. Kaleo’s chart shows DOGE’s past rallies from similar formations produced gains of over 20,000% in 2021 and 30,000% in 2027. 

Dogecoin’s price action currently mirrors these exact setups, suggesting that its price could be preparing for a historic move again. If history repeats, Kaleo has set DOGE’s long-term target at $6.9, representing a 3,530% increase from current levels around $0.19.

Interestingly, the analyst’s forecast comes just after a sharp daily crash saw Dogecoin drop about 60% at its lowest point. Market expert Kevin noted that the fall was too extreme to be retail-driven, hinting at systemic exchange failures across Binance, Coinbase, and Robinhood, which temporarily restricted buying during the dip.

Bitcoin Flash Crash Changes NothingBitcoin’s latest flash crash caught traders off guard — but not those watching the bigger picture. Since late 2024, corporations and institutions have been buying $BTC at record-breaking volumes, far beyond what miners can produce. This demand-supply imbalance has only tightened, suggesting that today’s correction isn’t the end of the bull cycle but rather a deep reset before the next rally.

Bitcoin Price Crash - TradingView

Institutional Demand Keeps Outpacing SupplyCorporate accumulation remains one of Bitcoin’s strongest fundamentals. Large-scale purchases have absorbed a significant portion of new supply, creating scarcity that naturally drives long-term price growth.

Institutional buying continues to exceed miner production.Whale bids are concentrated around major support zones.Macroeconomic backdrop: governments are still printing money, fueling inflation and reinforcing Bitcoin’s digital-gold narrative.As long as this structural imbalance persists, Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory remains upward, even if short-term swings shake out weak hands.

Bitcoin Analysis: Support Holds the LineThe tariff-driven selloff dragged $Bitcoin lower, but key levels still look strong:

Main support: $108K and $103K — the accumulation floor since summer.Deeper support: $98K — strong whale clusters and spot bids waiting.Bullish flip zone: reclaiming $117K confirms recovery, with $124K as the next major resistance.If Bitcoin holds above $103K, the trend remains healthy. A push above $117K would re-ignite bullish momentum and open the door to $130K and beyond. Losing $103K could lead to a temporary dip toward $98K before recovery.

Market Psychology: Shakeouts Fuel the Next Leg UpCorrections like these are essential in long bull markets. They flush leverage, consolidate liquidity, and give long-term holders more room to accumulate.

Higher lows on the weekly chart confirm structural strength.Volatility resets the market and clears speculative excess.No true bear market is in sight while macro demand and liquidity remain high.These pullbacks are not signals of weakness — they are the foundations of future breakouts.

Bitcoin price over the past 5 years - TradingView

Bitcoin Future: Still on Track for a Legendary All-Time HighEven with temporary turbulence, the bigger picture hasn’t changed. Bitcoin’s supply crunch, rising corporate demand, and weakening fiat currencies all point toward a major rally ahead.

As long as $BTC holds above its summer accumulation zone, this flash crash will be remembered not as the start of a downturn — but as the launchpad for Bitcoin’s next legendary all-time high.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt is now bullish on Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and XLM after earlier calling the top on the flagship crypto and hinting at significant declines. Meanwhile, this bullish sentiment from the veteran trader comes amid a crypto market crash, which has seen BTC wipe out its earlier October gains.

Peter Brandt Now Bullish On Bitcoin
In an X post, the veteran trader declared that the BTC bull is “still alive and well,” indicating that the bull run is on. His accompanying chart showed that the flagship crypto was still in an uptrend, despite recent setbacks.

A few final posts for the weekend, then I will leave you youngsters with your dreams$XRP – just a minor reaction in bigger theme of things$BTC – bull still alive and well$XLM – a bull waking from a nap$ETH – ready to rock and roll

If I change my mind I won’t let you know pic.twitter.com/rL1nVETYSn

— Peter Brandt (@PeterLBrandt) October 11, 2025

This follows Peter Brandt’s earlier comment, in which he suggested the Bitcoin top would occur in September or October based on the four-year cycle. The veteran trader also recently pointed out that he had mentioned that BTC would peak on October 5 based on his understanding of the cycles.

Notably, BTC had surged to a new all-time high (ATH) above $126,000 on October 6 but has since been on a downtrend, wiping out the gains it recorded at the start of the month.

The latest drop came as Trump announced a 100% tariff on China, with Bitcoin falling to as low as $104,000. However, following this latest pullback, Peter Brandt has indicated that he is still bullish on BTC’s long-term trajectory.

On Ethereum, XRP, and XLM
Peter Brandt stated that Ethereum is “ready to rock and roll,” hinting at a rebound for the largest altcoin by market cap. His ETH chart highlighted that this was just a period of consolidation for the altcoin and that a breakout could follow soon.

Regarding XRP, the veteran trader remarked that the pullback is just a “minor reaction in [the] bigger theme of things.” It is worth mentioning that he had earlier listed XRP as one of his potential candidates. That came as he highlighted a descending triangle that was forming for XRP.

Peter Brandt had warned back then that the altcoin could fall to $2.2 if the pattern played out, and it did during the recent market crash. However, the veteran trader has now flipped with his XRP chart showing that the altcoin could reclaim the psychological $3 level.

Meanwhile, he described XLM as a bull that was waking up from a nap. Notably, he once declared that XLM was more bullish than ETH, SOL, and XRP. His XLM chart showed the altcoin could climb to $0.6 once it resumes its bull rally.

Key Takeaways
What signals a bearish outlook for SUI despite increased trading activity? 
A 22% price drop, declining TVL, and technical breakdowns suggest continued downward pressure despite a 350% surge in trading volume.

What could reverse SUI’s bearish trend in the near term?
Reclaiming the $3 level and breaking above the ascending trendline could signal a potential bullish reversal.

Sui [SUI] prices dropped amid the broader market crash, bringing an end to its prolonged uptrend and signaling the potential for further declines.

The bearish outlook is reinforced by a drop in Total Value Locked (TVL), key technical breakdowns, and strong market participation, all of which suggest continued downward pressure.

At press time, SUI was trading around $2.72, down 22% over the past 24 hours. This sharp decline was accompanied by a surge in trader and investor activity.

According to CoinMarketCap, SUI’s 24-hour trading volume jumped 350% to $434 million.

The combination of a steep price drop and soaring volume suggests that market participants are actively pushing the price lower, likely driven by heightened bearish sentiment.

On-chain signal bearish outlook
In fact, Sui’s on-chain metrics further weaken its current outlook.

According to  DeFiLlama, SUI’s TVL has dropped significantly by 18.90%, bringing the value down to $2.103 billion.

Source: DeFiLlama

A decline in TVL indicates that investors are withdrawing their funds from the network, reflecting reduced confidence and lower activity within the Sui ecosystem.

Meanwhile, Sui’s DEX volume has spiked to a record high of $1.543 billion, according to DeFiLlama. 

This surge in trading activity likely reflects panic selling and investor exits, signaling heightened fear and uncertainty across the market.

SUI technical outlook: Levels to watch
According to AMBCrypto’s technical analysis, SUI is currently trading sideways, hovering within a tight range between $2.529 and $2.817, the lower and upper boundaries, respectively.

This sideways on the daily chart follows a breakdown below a key support level formed by an ascending trendline that has been intact since August 2024.

Source: TradingView

Following the recent breakdown, SUI’s bullish trend—active since 2024—has shifted to bearish. If the current downward momentum continues, the price could fall another 40% and reach $1.65 in the near term.

A reversal would require SUI to rebound and reclaim the $3 level, moving back above its ascending trendline.

At press time, the Average Directional Index (ADX) sat at 22, below the key threshold of 25, indicating weak trend strength. 

Meanwhile, the Supertrend indicator remains bearish, positioned above the price and signaling continued downward pressure.

Ausbil Investment Management Ltd disclosed a purchase of approximately $4.31 million in NextEra Energy (NEE -0.50%) shares, according to an SEC filing for the period ended September 30, 2025.

What HappenedAccording to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated October 08, 2025, Ausbil increased its position in NextEra Energy by 58,977 shares during the quarter. The fund held 140,270 shares, worth $11.04 million as of quarter-end.

What Else to KnowFund bought shares, bringing its NextEra Energy stake to 5.9% of reportable AUM

Top holdings after the filing:

NEE: $11.04 million (5.9% of AUM) as of September 30, 2025NSC: $10.08 million (5.4% of AUM) as of September 30, 2025CSX: $10.06 million (5.4% of AUM) as of September 30, 2025LNG: $7.71 million (4.1% of AUM) as of September 30, 2025ES: $7.32 million (3.9% of AUM) as of September 30, 2025As of October 8, 2025, shares were priced at $84.04, up 4.4% in the past year, underperforming the S&P 500 by 10.65 percentage points over the same period.

Company OverviewMetricValueRevenue (TTM)$25.90 billionNet Income (TTM)$5.92 billionDividend Yield2.64%Price (as of market close 10/08/25)$84.04Company SnapshotNextEra Energy generates, transmits, and distributes electric power through wind, solar, nuclear, coal, and natural gas facilities, with a growing portfolio in renewable energy and battery storage projects.

The company operates a regulated utility business and develops long-term contracted clean energy assets, earning revenue primarily from electricity sales and energy infrastructure services.

It serves about 11 million people through roughly 5.7 million customer accounts on the east and lower west coasts of Florida as of December 31, 2021.

NextEra Energy, Inc. is a leading North American utility and renewable energy provider with significant scale and a diversified generation portfolio. Its strategic focus on renewables and grid modernization positions it as a key player in the transition to sustainable energy.

Foolish TakeAusbil Investment Management's decision to acquire more than $4.3 million worth of NextEra Energy stock looks like a big bet on a stock that has underperformed the benchmark S&P 500 over the last year. Bear in mind, following this purchase, NextEra Energy is now Ausbil's largest single position. The stock now represents nearly 6% of its total AUM, meaning the portfolio managers have strong conviction in NextEra's potential.

Nevertheless, NextEra's three-year performance isn't anything to write home about. Shares have generated a three-year total return of only 18%, which equates to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has generated a total return of 90% over that same period and a CAGR of 23.8%.

In other words, this is a notable buy, as it shows at least one large institutional money manager is making a significant bet on NextEra stock. Given the company's key role within the North American utility industry and its focus on renewables and sustainable energy, investors who are seeking exposure to the utility sector may be well served by giving NextEra stock a closer look.

That said, NextEra's chronic underperformance versus the S&P 500 should also be taken into account. No institutional move should ever be the sole reason for buying or selling a stock, and while this move is significant, NextEra stock still has much to prove.

The streaming pioneer has crushed the market over the past year. Is it a buy now?

When it comes to streaming video, Netflix (NFLX -0.96%) is the bar by which all other providers are measured. The company continues to dominate the industry it pioneered, evolving from DVD-by-mail to become the world's largest streaming video subscription service.

Some investors lost faith in the company's future growth potential, but that proved to be a costly mistake. Despite rising competition and a changing entertainment landscape, Netflix has continued to thrive, driving its stock price up 396% over the past three years and 65% over the past 12 months.

The company faces another key hurdle when Netflix reports its third-quarter results after the market close on Oct. 21. Given the stock's impressive gains over the past year, should investors lay out their hard-earned money now or wait until after this crucial financial report? Let's drill down to see what the evidence suggests.

Can its epic run continue?
For a number of years, Netflix was content to aggressively build out its content library to keep the new subscribers flowing. However, as market penetration and competition increased, the company was forced to augment that strategy.

In addition to the relentless expansion of its viewing choices, Netflix found success with its ad-supported tier, which has become one of the company's biggest growth engines. It also succeeded by cracking down on password sharing by allowing members to pay a nominal fee to add viewers outside their household. This two-pronged strategy, combined with a growing roster of hit shows and movies, has reignited Netflix's growth.

In the second quarter, Netflix generated revenue of $11 billion, an increase of 16%, while diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $7.19 surged 47%. Management credited strong subscriber growth, higher subscription prices, and growing ad revenue for fueling revenue growth, while profits got a boost from the higher revenue and the timing of expenses.

Netflix is predicting its growth will continue. The company is guiding for revenue of $11.52 billion and EPS of $6.87, which would represent year-over-year growth of 17% and 27%, respectively. Wall Street is firmly on board, as analysts' consensus estimates are calling for revenue of $11.52 billion and EPS of $6.94.

Should you buy Netflix stock now or wait until after earnings?
It's clear there's still growth to be had, but should investors buy Netflix stock now, or wait until after the earnings report?

As I subscribe to the long-term buy-and-hold philosophy, I would submit that a week or two either way generally doesn't make much difference in the grand scheme of things. Furthermore, there's no ironclad way to know for sure what the results will reveal or how investors will respond on any given day. It follows that there's no way to know whether the stock will be up or down following the company's earnings release.

The more important question is whether Netflix stock is a buy now, and Wall Street is certainly bullish. Of the 47 analysts who offered an opinion thus far in October, 31 rate it a buy or strong buy, and none recommend selling.

Management is even more bullish. According to a plan leaked earlier this year, Netflix plans to double its revenue and triple ad sales over the next five years, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. If the company were to achieve this goal, it would push its market cap to roughly $1 trillion, putting it in rare company. For context, there are currently only 11 stocks with valuations that exceed this benchmark.

There's plenty of evidence to suggest that these goals are achievable. Earlier this year, management revealed that Netflix's "standard with ads" tier surged 135% year over year to 94 million, accounting for 55% of new subscribers in countries where it's available. It also reaches more of the highly sought-after 18- to 34-year-old demographic than any other U.S. broadcast or cable network, which is extremely attractive to advertisers. These highly engaged viewers are watching an average of 41 hours of Netflix programming per month.

Management is particularly excited because its content release schedule is strongly slated toward the back half of the year. The final season of the hit show Stranger Things is on tap, while returning seasons of Squid Game and Wednesday have already shattered viewership records. At the same time, KPop Demon Hunters has become a global phenomenon, with its soundtrack landing at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album for its second successive week.

Netflix sports a premium valuation, selling for 36 times next year's expected earnings, but given its robust growth and healthy profits, I'd submit that's more than reasonable. Add to that the company's continuing strong slate of programming and increasing leverage in advertising, and Netflix stock is clearly a buy.

Block shares have reversed course, disappointing investors in recent years.

Investors in Block (XYZ -7.48%) have been on a wild ride. This was once a top-performing stock, with shares soaring 2,430% in the five-year period leading up to the all-time record. After the market tanked in 2022, this stock has had a difficult time recovering.

If you'd invested $500 in Block shares five years ago, here's how much you'd have today.

Block stock's return is disappointing
Block shares are down 56% in five years (as of Oct. 9), turning $500 into a disappointing $220 today. The company performed exceptionally well during the COVID-19 pandemic, with gross profit up 45% in 2020 and 62% in 2021, as digital payments adoption was robust.

It's easy to be optimistic about the business
Compared to five years ago, the business is much bigger today. The Square segment, which generated over $1 billion in second-quarter (ended June 30) gross profit, counts more than 4 million merchants using its platform. Cash App has 57 million monthly active users, and it reported $1.5 billion of gross profit in the second quarter.

Even better, Block is expected to generate $2 billion in non-GAAP operating income in 2025. In 2020, the company posted an operating loss of $19 million.

Despite the improved fundamental position, investors might not be pleased that growth is slower than in years past. Competition also remains fierce.

AMD's deal with OpenAI could be transformative.

Advanced Micro Devices' (AMD -7.78%) stock soared earlier this week after the company announced a new partnership with OpenAI that could greatly improve its fortunes in the artificial intelligence (AI) chip market. As part of the deal, OpenAI will deploy 6 gigawatts of AMD's Instinct graphics processing units (GPUs) across multiple generations of hardware, beginning with a 1 gigawatt rollout of its MI450 chip in the second half of 2026.

Meanwhile, AMD granted OpenAI warrants for up to 160 million shares that vest as specific rollout and share price milestones are hit, with the final tranche tied to AMD's stock reaching $600 a share. AMD said the deal will be immediately accretive and gives it a clear line of sight to tens of billions of dollars in annual AI data center revenue beginning in 2027.

Looking to challenge Nvidia
What makes this arrangement so striking is how different it looks from the Nvidia deal OpenAI signed just a couple of weeks earlier. Nvidia invested directly into OpenAI, which would allow it to help fund the company's purchase of its chips, while here the capital flow is reversed. Instead of AMD investing in OpenAI, the AI model company will take a stake in AMD, which gives it every reason to help AMD's chips succeed. This is important because it shows a concerted effort by one of the company's biggest builders of AI infrastructure to diversify away from a single chip supplier. It is also believed that OpenAI has designed a custom chip with Broadcom that will start to be delivered next year.

The market's reaction shows how significant this is for AMD. For years, the company has been a distant second in the data center GPU market due to the moat Nvidia created with its CUDA software platform and entrenched ecosystem. AMD's Instinct chips have improved steadily, but Nvidia's software edge has been difficult to overcome. Landing OpenAI as an anchor customer gives its software ecosystem a powerful partner committed to making it work. That combination could open doors with other hyperscalers (companies that own massive data centers) that have been looking for a viable alternative to Nvidia's premium-priced chips. With the market expected to shift from training large language models (LLMs) more toward inference, where Nvidia's CUDA moat is not as strong, AMD finds itself in a good place.

Is it too late to buy the stock?
While this looks like a potentially transformative deal for AMD, there are still risks. The first gigawatt of Instinct GPUs won't ship until late 2026, and the bulk of the revenue lift comes later. Meanwhile, OpenAI's massive 6 gigawatt rollout depends on financing and on adding power infrastructure that rivals what many national grids can supply.

The warrant structure also raises some issues. OpenAI essentially receives shares for a penny each as it hits deployment and share price milestones, meaning up to 10% dilution for AMD's existing shareholders if all the conditions are met. Competition remains fierce as well. Nvidia still holds the lion's share of the market, and large customers continue to weigh a mix of GPUs from both Nvidia and AMD along with custom ASICs to balance cost, performance, and availability.

Even with those challenges, the potential upside is hard to overstate. Morgan Stanley analysts estimate that each gigawatt of AI compute could add roughly $3 in annual earnings power for AMD. That could lift its prior 2027 adjusted earnings-per-share projections from about $6.74 to closer to $10 as more gigawatts come online. Management, meanwhile, believes this partnership moves AMD toward its target of generating tens of billions of dollars annually from AI data center revenue by 2027, which would mark a dramatic shift in the company's growth profile.

After the surge, AMD trades at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of about 36 times 2026 earnings estimates, which looks expensive at first glance. However, it has a PEG (price/earnings-to-growth) ratio of around 0.4, with PEGs below 1 considered undervalued.

While the shares could see near-term swings after such a steep rally, the longer-term story has changed fundamentally in AMD's favor. That means for long-term investors, it's not too late to buy the stock even after this run.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

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.

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.

These companies operate in desirable long-term growth markets that are currently experiencing some temporary weakness.

This eclectic group of stocks trades at significant discounts to their all-time high prices, with advanced materials company Hexcel (HXL -3.65%) down 25%, e-commerce logistics company GXO Logistics (GXO -4.41%) down 48%, and ON Semiconductor (ON -8.35%) down 54%. All three companies operate in long-term growth markets that are currently experiencing temporary weakness, and this article will briefly summarize why and how they can return to their growth path.

Hexcel, because composites are the future of the aerospace industry
No one disputes that airplanes are likely to contain more advanced composite materials in the future. Indeed, every new generation of aircraft has led to more value per plane for Hexcel. For example, the classic Boeing 737 had approximately 5% of its content made from advanced composites, whereas the newer Boeing 737 MAX has 15%. That figure increases even higher for wide-body aircraft like the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350, which contain at least 50% composite content.

The investment case for Hexcel is relatively straightforward: A combination of increasing content on each new generation of aircraft and multiyear backlogs at Boeing and Airbus presents an excellent long-term growth opportunity.

That said, both airplane manufacturers have struggled to ramp up aircraft production in recent years (at least relative to expectations), and that has caused knock-on issues at Hexcel as end demand has been weaker than expected at a time when management is looking to increase its manufacturing capacity.

Still, it appears to be a question of "when, not if" for the company, and Wall Street expects double-digit revenue growth to kick in, in 2026 and 2027 , with net income almost doubling from 2025 to 2027. As such, now looks like a great time to buy a growth stock on a dip.

GXO Logistics, because e-commerce and outsourcing logistics will only grow
The case for the stock is based on very powerful business trends. The share of retail sales coming from e-commerce activities continues to grow, meaning it will become an increasingly larger part of a company's activities. In addition, the rapid development of productivity-enhancing technologies in logistics, such as automation and robotics, innovative warehousing, and AI-led analytics, means e-commerce logistics is becoming a more complex activity.

All of which points to an environment in which GXO's offering of contract logistics provision (advanced warehousing with e-commerce warehousing being its largest industry vertical) is set to enjoy long-term demand growth.

However, there's been a problem in recent years, and it's best encapsulated in the following chart. Following the boom in e-commerce created by the lockdowns, the growth rate has returned to its long-term trend line.

Unfortunately, the adjustment in growth, from a previously unsustainable growth rate, also led to a slowing of GXO's organic revenue growth rate in 2023 and 2024.

The good news is the company appears to be building momentum in 2025, and it's winning new contracts to offset some customers previously rationalizing how much logistics supporyt they outsource. Wall Street sees its earnings growing at a double-digit rate in 2026 and 2027.

ON Semiconductor: Near-term risk and long-term opportunity
The company's focus on power and sensing technology for the automotive (notably electric vehicles, or EVs) and industrial (EV charging, automation, smart cities) sectors, as well as more recently AI data centers (Nvidia), gives it exciting exposure to some excellent long-term, secular growth trends.

While that still holds, the company is going through a difficult period, as automakers have pared back EV spending in response to relatively high interest rates and, aside from Tesla, difficulties in profitability.

Data source: ON Semiconductor presentations.

Still, if you believe that EVs remain the future of the automotive industry, and Ford's recent $5 billion spending commitment supports that argument, then a recovery will likely emerge even as the near-term outlook remains uncertain.

Stocks to buy
All three contain near-term risk, but they also have substantive upside potential. On a risk-reward basis, they all appear to be attractive stocks to buy for investors who can tolerate the potential for some near-term disappointment.
