Peter Nash

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to today's important meeting of relevant shareholders in relation to the proposed scheme of arrangement that you, as shareholders, will be voting on today, which I'll refer to as the scheme. My name is Peter Nash. I'm the Non-Executive Chairman of Johns Lyng Group Limited, and I will be chairing today's meeting.

With me today are other directors of JLG, namely Scott Didier, Nick Carnell, Alison Terry, Larisa Moran and Peter Dixon. We did have Alex online at one stage, but I think he's been unable to -- that line is not working, so he is not attending this meeting. Lisa Dadswell, Company Secretary of JLG, is an apology for this meeting, but we have Anshul Aggarwal attending in her place. Representatives of JLG's share registry, MUFG Corporate Markets, are also present to assist in the poll process for today's meeting. For the purposes of today's meeting.

For the purpose of today's Meeting, I appoint Jeffrey Wu from MUFG to act as returning officer. Mr. Wu has agreed to act in this capacity. Also in attendance are representatives from Nomura, JPMorgan, who are the financial advisers to JLG and Minter Ellison, the legal advisers to JLG.

Can I please ask that you turn your phones to silent.

It's now coming up 10:30, which is -- and we're at the scheduled commencement time for the relevant shareholder scheme meeting. A quorum is present, and therefore, I declare today's meeting to be open. As you know, today's meeting is being held as a hybrid meeting conducted in 2 parts simultaneously with relevant shareholders and proxies participating both in person and via the online platform.

Pantheon Resources PLC (AIM:PANR, OTCQX:PTHRF) has successfully completed hydraulic fracture stimulation operations at the Dubhe-1 well on Alaska’s North Slope.

The 25-stage plug-and-perforate programme was finalised over eight days without safety or environmental incidents, the AIM-quoted company said in a statement.

"We are extremely pleased with the success of the operations so far," Pantheon chief development officer Erich Krumanocker said.

"The team did an excellent job executing this large and intricate operation safely and efficiently. The stimulation was performed as planned, increasing our confidence in achieving the objectives of the forthcoming flow testing programme."

Dubhe-1 was previously drilled to a total depth of 15,000 feet, with approximately 5,200 feet of the lateral section entirely within the targeted SMD-B reservoir.

IP Group PLC (LSE:IPO) has announced that one of its portfolio companies, Monolith, is being acquired by Nasdaq-listed CoreWeave, marking another successful sale from its deeptech investments.

The London-listed investment firm, which holds a 12.3% stake in Monolith, said the deal follows recent disposals of other portfolio businesses, Featurespace and Garrison.

Monolith, spun out of Imperial College London, provides artificial intelligence software that helps engineering teams solve complex physics and design challenges.

No financial details of the transaction have been disclosed, and the deal remains subject to customary closing conditions.

Greg Smith, chief executive of IP Group, said: “The sale of Monolith marks another positive exit from our deeptech portfolio.

"We’re delighted with this outcome, which follows the sales of Featurespace and Garrison from our deeptech portfolio.

"As the most experienced and active UK-based, early-stage science investor, this further validates the Group’s model and our expertise in identifying and supporting businesses to successful exits.”

For CoreWeave, the acquisition strengthens its push into industrial and manufacturing sectors.

The US-based cloud computing firm said combining its AI infrastructure with Monolith’s engineering-focused machine learning tools would help companies cut research and development times and improve product design.

Monolith’s software is already used by major manufacturers, including BMW, Nissan and Honeywell, to reduce the need for physical testing and speed up innovation.

Brian Venturo, CoreWeave’s co-founder and chief strategy officer, said the deal would help “enterprises better harness AI to accelerate breakthroughs and bring better products to market faster”.

AlphaMedixTM (212Pb-DOTAMTATE) achieved all primary efficacy endpoints in phase 2 study, demonstrating clinically meaningful benefits in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

AlphaMedixTM showed prolonged and clinically meaningful benefits across PRRT-naïve and PRRT-exposed patients with unresectable or metastatic GEP-NETs, highlighting the potential of Targeted Alpha Therapy with lead-212 as a new treatment option Results will form the basis of future discussions with health authorities Paris, October 8, 2025. Positive results from the ALPHAMEDIX-02 phase 2 study (clinical study identifier: NCT05153772) showed AlphaMedixTM (212Pb-DOTAMTATE), an investigational somatostatin receptor (SSTR)-Targeted Alpha Therapy using the lead-212 isotope, met all primary efficacy endpoints and showed clinically meaningful overall response rates (ORR) and prolonged clinical benefits in both peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT)-naïve and PRRT-exposed patients with unresectable or metastatic SSTR positive gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). Benefits in key secondary endpoints, including progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), were also observed across both cohorts. AlphaMedix™ had a manageable safety profile that was similar across both cohorts.

"The positive results from the ALPHAMEDIX-02 study represent a pivotal movement for the Orano Med 212Pb-based platform and underscore the profound potential of lead-212-based radiopharmaceuticals in addressing critical unmet needs for patients with GEP-NETs. We are very encouraged by AlphaMedix™'s consistent and clinically meaningful activity across both peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT)-naïve and PRRT-exposed patients,” said Volker Wagner, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer at Orano Med. “These data reinforce our belief that delivering highly potent alpha-emitters directly to cancer cells could potentially offer a meaningful new treatment option for people living with GEP-NETs.”

Alpha-emitters are being studied to determine their relative potency and targeted tumor activity compared to current approved therapies. It is believed they could potentially reduce exposure of surrounding healthy tissue due to the short range of alpha particles. In February 2024, AlphaMedix™ was granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of PRRT-naïve patients with unresectable or metastatic, progressive SSTR-expressing GEP-NETs, recognizing the potential clinical benefits and potential of this lead-212–based therapy.

"The promising ALPHAMEDIX-02 results represent a significant step forward, reinforcing the potential of targeted alpha therapy to deliver precise treatment for GEP-NETs,” said Christopher Corsico, MD, Global Head of Development at Sanofi. “These data, demonstrating clinically meaningful activity and a manageable safety profile, underscore our unrelenting commitment to developing innovative therapies for patients with difficult-to-treat cancers. We look forward to advancing AlphaMedix™ and working with Orano Med and regulators to bring this important treatment to the GEP-NET community as soon as possible.”

The study is ongoing, and the full results will be presented at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress. The results will also form the basis of discussions with health authorities. AlphaMedix™ has not been approved by any regulatory authority.

About the ALPHAMEDIX-02 study
ALPHAMEDIX-02 is a phase 2, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of AlphaMedix™ (212Pb-DOTAMTATE) in patients with histologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic GEP-NETs, positive somatostatin analogue imaging and at least one site of measurable disease. The study included two cohorts evaluating PRRT-naïve (n=35) and PRRT-exposed (n=26) patients. PRRT-exposed patients had progressive disease after receiving up to four doses of 177Lu-DOTATATE and received their last dose at least six months prior to Day 1. In both cohorts, AlphaMedix™ was administered at 67.6 μCi/kg every eight weeks for up to four cycles (6 mCi maximum per cycle). Primary endpoints included ORR per RECIST1.1 and safety. Secondary endpoints included PFS and OS.

About NETs
NETs are a heterogeneous group of cancers that originate from neuroendocrine cells. These cancers occur mostly in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas but can also occur in other tissues including the thymus, lung, and other uncommon sites such as the ovaries, heart, and prostate. Most NETs strongly express somatostatin receptors. Despite the global prevalence of NETs increasing each year, it is considered a rare cancer that is estimated to affect approximately 35/100,000 individuals worldwide. In the United States, around 12,000 patients annually are expected to be diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumors, with an average five-year survival rate of 60% at a metastatic stage.

It said the money will be used towards its long-term capital allocation principals, which include investing in organic growth, acquisitions and returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.

The robotics business, which employs 7,000 people, generated sales of $2.3 billion last year, equivalent to 7% of ABB's total revenues, but ABB saw limited crossover with the rest of its business, which is largely focussed on electrification and automation.

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) has seen more than a 30% gap higher after announcing an agreement with OpenAI.

Back on September 09, we highlighted an incomplete bullish structure, anticipating a wave four retracement down toward the 150–140 area before another strong move up. That scenario played out perfectly, as price bounced nicely from that zone, forming a clear five-wave rise from the April 2025 lows.

Now AMD is retesting the March 2024 highs, suggesting that we could be in the late stages of this recovery.

Despite the very bullish sentiment surrounding the stock, there’s a risk that the market could reverse in the coming weeks and possibly attempt to fill the open gaps below, which rarely remain unfilled for long.

Retail Stumbles Below Support

The Retail Sector ETF (NYSEARCA: XRT) just lost its grip on the 50-day moving average, a key short-term support level that often marks the line between healthy pullbacks and trend reversals.

This isn’t just a technical trip — it’s a sentiment signal that the American consumer, long the backbone of this market, may be running low on gas.

The Retail Sector ETF (XRT) closed decisively below its 50-DMA after multiple failed attempts to hold above it in late September.
Momentum indicators such as RSI have rolled over, confirming fading buying pressure.
Volume has been heavier on down days, a classic distribution pattern suggesting institutional selling.

If XRT can’t recover quickly, we could be looking at a phase shift from Bullish to Caution, and possibly even to Distribution.

WHY IT MATTERS FOR INVESTORS

Retail sits at the center of the Economic Modern Family — the pulse of the consumer and, by extension, the broader economy.

When the Retail sector weakens, it often precedes broader market fatigue.

Consumer resilience is under pressure. Rising living costs, student loan repayments, and mounting credit card delinquencies are taking a toll.
Equal-weight construction reveals the real story. Unlike the cap-weighted giants, XRT shows how average retailers are struggling.
Breadth deterioration. A weak XRT often foreshadows softness in small caps (IWM) and transports (IYT).

Investors should pay attention because consumer spending drives 70% of U.S. GDP — when Granny sneezes, the market catches a cold.

Furthermore, KRE of the Regional Banks sector, already showed us signs of weakness with only a shallow bounce following news of Fifth Third Bank’s acquisition of Comerica Bank.

KRE has to hold around 63.00

The timing of this failure is crucial. The Fed remains caught between easing inflation and sustaining growth. Retail softness may be the first crack in the “soft landing” narrative.

Oil prices are rebounding, threatening to keep inflation sticky.
Wage growth has stalled, especially for lower earners.
Credit conditions remain tight, limiting spending power.

If Retail stocks continue to weaken, the Fed’s path to rate cuts could narrow — not because inflation is roaring back, but because growth is rolling over.

TECHNICAL WATCHLIST

Key LevelSignalImplication$83.11Must holdA break confirms a warning phase and a break of the September low50-DMA RecoveryTwo consecutive closes aboveRestores bullish biasXRT vs. SPY RatioFallingSign of defensive rotation
Keep an eye on COST, TGT, WMT, and AMZN — leadership in these names will determine whether the consumer narrative stabilizes or cracks further.

Also watch IWM (Small Caps) for confirmation; if both fail simultaneously, the risk-on trade could unwind quickly.

TAKEAWAY

Retail’s stumble below the 50-DMA isn’t just another chart event — it’s a warning flag.

Retail stocks often lead turns in both directions.

If the consumer is finally feeling the strain, the next few weeks could tell us whether this market still has the spending power to sustain the rally — or whether the Family matriarch just signaled it’s time to take some profits.

NEW YORK, Oct. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Dow Inc. (NYSE: DOW) between January 30, 2025 and July 23, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important October 28, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Dow 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 Dow class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44352 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 28, 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) Dow’s ability to mitigate macroeconomic and tariff-related headwinds, as well as to maintain the financial flexibility needed to support its lucrative dividend, was overstated; (2) the true scope and severity of the foregoing headwinds’ negative impacts on Dow’s business and financial condition was understated, particularly with respect to competitive and pricing pressures, softening global sales and demand for Dow’s products, and an oversupply of products in Dow’s global markets; and (3) 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 Dow class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44352 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information.

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.

(7267.T), opens new tab dominance of Vietnam's motorbike market is under threat as Hanoi pushes for a rapid switch to electric vehicles in a boost to local EV maker VinFast

(VFS.O), opens new tab, according to industry data and the findings of a consumer survey.

Vietnam's Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh issued a directive in July that bans after 12 months fossil-fuel-powered motorbikes from the centre of the capital Hanoi and extends the scope of the ban from 2028.

Sign up here.

Honda and other motorbike makers have written to authorities criticising the changes as being too fast, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.

The Japanese company's sales in Vietnam fell by nearly 22% in August from July, a 13% drop on the year, after the government's ban was announced, industry data showed.

Partly in response to the government's policies, residents of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's two largest cities, plan to choose an electric model for their next motorbike purchase, according to a survey conducted in September by market research firm Asia Plus Inc.

Representatives for Honda in Vietnam did not reply to requests for comment.

The Vietnamese ministry responsible for transport did not reply to a request for comment but the government has said the new measures were needed to address air pollution in Hanoi, which at times tops the list of the world's most polluted cities.

LION'S SHARE OF THE MARKETVietnam's two-wheeler market stands at $4.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $6 billion by 2030, according to market research firm Mordor Intelligence.

Petrol motorbikes dominate Vietnam's market, one of the world's largest. Honda sold 2.6 million vehicles in the country last year, more than 80% of the total. VinFast said it delivered 71,000 electric motorbikes.

Honda, the world's largest manufacturer of motorbikes, is also producing electric models but it is not clear how many it sells in Vietnam.

Of the 200 people polled in the survey, 54% said they would choose an electric motorbike for their next purchase, and only 24% would opt for a gasoline model. The main reason given for preferring an electric option was the government's policies to endorse EVs.

In Hanoi, the share of interviewees saying they would choose an electric motorbike was 60%.

Half of the poll respondents said they would consider buying a Honda motorbike and 32% said they would opt for a VinFast model. More than 80% said they already owned a Honda vehicle and 4% said they had a VinFast motorbike.

"The rapid policy support, including phased bans, incentives, and public messaging, has significantly shaped consumer attitudes and could accelerate a market shift faster than traditional manufacturers anticipated," said Kengo Kurokawa, the head of Asia Plus.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) extended its pullback for a fifth straight session on Tuesday, sliding about 6% intraday to the $45–$46 zone after a sharp rejection at a reclaimed trendline.

While near-term momentum has flipped bearish, several on-chain and market-structure cues still point to a potential rebound toward $55–$60 if buyers can quickly stabilize the price above key supports.

Derivatives Tilt Bearish, but Spot Holds the Line
Futures positioning has swung defensively, and according to Coinglass, the long-to-short ratio slipped to 0.80, its lowest in over a month, signaling traders are leaning short into weakness.

Momentum indicators echo the caution, daily RSI near 45 sits below the neutral 50 line, and MACD registered a bearish cross, both consistent with cooling trend strength.

Technically, HYPE failed a back-test of a broken ascending trendline and bled nearly 7% from Friday to Monday, with charts flagging $39–$40 as the next major support if selling accelerates. On the upside, $51–$52 is first resistance, where bulls likely meet clustered supply from recent breakdown levels.

Why Hyperliquid (HYPE) Bulls Still See $55–$60 on the Table
Despite the red prints, spot activity remains constructive. Hyperliquid has been defending the mid-$40s repeatedly, and prior consolidations above $45–$47 have preceded strong continuation moves.

HYPE's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: HYPEUSD on Tradingview
Under the hood, token staking north of 660,000 HYPE ($30million) plus systematic buybacks are reducing circulating supply, creating a supportive backdrop when demand returns.

Meanwhile, protocol fee revenue around $3million/day underscores durable usage even as new perp-DEX competitors court volume with incentives. Community and analyst “fair-value” chatter continues to cluster around $55–$60, suggesting sentiment will likely flip quickly if price reclaims the short-term breakdown area.

Price Levels and Trade Map for the Week
The immediate trading point sits in $44–$49. A daily close back above $49 would neutralize the breakdown and open $52, then $55–$60 as momentum targets. Failure to hold $46–$47 invites a retest of $44, with a deeper flush risking the $39–$40 demand zone where dip-buyers may step in.

Market internals to watch: if funding stays orderly, liquidations remain contained, and spot-led buying outpaces leveraged shorts, the probability of a V-shaped recovery rises.

Macro context matters too. Perp-DEX market share is expanding industry-wide, and while rivals (e.g., Aster) have temporarily siphoned volumes, Hyperliquid still commands strong open interest and fee traction, key indicators of stickier liquidity.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

The Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap has continued to be at a notable green level recently, a sign that institutional traders are buying the asset.

Coinbase Premium Gap Is Positive Right Now
In a new post on X, CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn has talked about the latest trend in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap. This indicator measures the difference between the BTC price listed on Coinbase (USD pair) and that on Binance (USDT pair).

The former cryptocurrency exchange is the primary hub for US-based investors, particularly large institutional entities, while the latter is utilized by traders worldwide. As such, the Coinbase Premium Gap essentially represents the difference in behavior between American whales and global ones.

When the value of the metric is positive, it means the price of the asset listed on Coinbase is higher than that on Binance. Such a trend implies users of the former are applying a higher buying pressure (or lower selling pressure) than those of the latter.

On the other hand, the indicator being under the zero mark implies Binance users are the ones participating in a higher amount of accumulation, as they have pushed the asset to a higher price on the platform.

Now, here is the chart shared by Maartunn that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap over the past week:

Looks like the value of the metric has just witnessed a large green spike | Source: @JA_Maartun on X
As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap has remained at mostly positive levels for the past few days, suggesting that buyers on Coinbase have been more aggressive at buying the cryptocurrency than Binance users during this rally.

The metric reached its high on October 3rd, when BTC traded at a premium of $140 on Coinbase. During the weekend, the indicator saw some cooldown, with it even briefly turning red during the all-time high (ATH) break on Saturday, but it has surged again in the new week and recovered to a notable positive level of $105.

Thus, it seems that despite Bitcoin now entering ATH exploration mode, US-based institutions are only continuing to accumulate more of the cryptocurrency. These investors have been one of the main drivers in the market since last year, so if the Coinbase Premium Gap continues to remain green, the rally could potentially sustain for longer.

Speaking of institutional demand, another metric that can correspond to buying/selling from the cohort is the netflow for the spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These investment vehicles saw massive net inflows during the past week, providing further evidence of institutional accumulation.

As the above chart shared by cycle analyst Root shows, the latest week of spot ETF inflows was 8.8 times the new Bitcoin supply that miners minted in the period.

BTC Price
Bitcoin breached above $126,000 on Monday to set another new ATH, but it has since cooled off a bit, with its price coming back to $124,300.

TL;DR

BNB reaches new all-time high above $1,300, overtaking XRP to become third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
CEA Industries increases BNB holdings to 480,000 tokens valued at $585 million with average purchase price of $860.
CZ-inspired meme tokens on BNB Chain post triple-digit gains with combined 24-hour volumes exceeding $335 million.
CEA Industries targets 1% of total BNB supply by year-end, mirroring Strategy’s Bitcoin accumulation approach.

Binance Coin reached a new all-time high above $1,300 on October 7, 2025, propelling BNB Chain meme coins to surge alongside corporate treasury expansions. The rally pushed BNB’s market capitalization past $180 billion, overtaking XRP to secure the third position among cryptocurrencies by market value. 

BNB Chain meme tokens experienced explosive gains with several CZ-inspired coins posting triple-digit percentage increases and combined trading volumes exceeding $335 million in 24 hours.

The price surge drove a 19% weekly gain for BNB, with the token trading around $1,314 at press time. Market data shows BNB’s total value locked increased from $7.58 billion on September 27 to $8.69 billion by October 7, marking the highest level since May 2022. Active addresses on BNB Chain surpassed 60 million monthly users, representing a 100% increase year-to-date.

CEA Industries Expands Corporate BNB Treasury
CEA Industries announced holdings of 480,000 BNB tokens valued at approximately $585.5 million as of October 6, 2025. The Nasdaq-listed company acquired the tokens at an average price of $860, bringing total investment to $412.8 million. Combined with $77.5 million in cash and short-term assets, CEA’s total crypto and cash reserves reached $663 million.

The company deployed an estimated $78 million in September to add more than 91,000 tokens to its treasury. CEA Industries disclosed 388,888 BNB in September before ramping up accumulation as prices climbed toward record highs.

The firm aims to acquire 1% of the total BNB supply by the end of 2025, positioning itself as the largest corporate holder of Binance Coin.

CEO David Namdar described BNB as “the fulcrum of a massively integrated ecosystem” in an official statement. The company’s stock responded positively to the disclosure, with BNC closing 7.9% higher in Tuesday’s trading session following a 15% surge the previous day. CEA’s strategy mirrors approaches taken by Strategy for Bitcoin and BitMine Technologies for Ethereum.

BNB Chain Meme Tokens Post Triple-Digit Gains
A token named “4” surged approximately 25% in 24 hours with nearly $79 million in trading volume, reaching a market cap of $243 million within one week of launch. 

The token references Changpeng “CZ” Zhao’s “fourth” resolution for 2023, which emphasized dismissing misinformation while focusing on development.

#BNB meme szn! 😆

I didn't expect this at all. And people keep asking me to predict the future… 🤷‍♂️

Keep building!

— CZ 🔶 BNB (@cz_binance) October 7, 2025

Other CZ-inspired meme coins posted even steeper gains. Paul (PALU) climbed 2,246% and 客服小何 (Binance Life) rose 415% in 24 hours. Together, these tokens generated over $335 million in on-chain trading volumes according to DEXScreener data. BNB Chain tokens dominated 19 of the top 20 trending coins tracked over a six-hour window.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao posted on X:  “BNB meme szn! I didn’t expect this at all. And people keep asking me to predict the future… Keep building!”. On-chain analytics platform Bubblemaps reported more than 100,000 traders bought new BNB memecoins, with approximately 70% in profit at the time of reporting.

Ether prices experienced a modest decline on October 7.

Ether prices suffered a notable drop on Tuesday, October 7, falling more than 6% as traders took profits, sending the digital currency lower.

The world’s second-most valuable cryptocurrency by total market value dropped to roughly $4,450.00 after rising to more than $4,750.00, according to Coinbase data from TradingView. The digital asset suffered this decline after climbing more than 20% during a steady, upward trend it experienced starting September 25.

This happened during a day where most of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by total market capitalization were in the red, according to figures provided by CoinMarketCap.

Amid these developments, several market observers offered explanations for why ether suffered a downward movement.

“Today’s pullback in Ethereum and the crypto market is primarily a reflection of profit-taking following roughly 10 days of strong gains across the board,” Tom Bruni, head of markets & retail investor insights at Stocktwits, stated via email.

He commented on how this pattern also materialized in stocks, indicating that “We saw similar weakness in equities where the indexes made new marginal highs, but have struggled to maintain their upward momentum over the past week.”

Tim Enneking, managing partner of Psalion, offered a similar take.

When asked whether profit taking fueled ether’s decline, he replied through emailed commentary “Essentially, that is correct. After the tremendous move up pretty much across the board, all major digital assets retraced a bit today."

“They now appear to be putting in a short-term bottom and I would expect to see more BTC ATHs shortly,” he added, offering a near-term outlook.

Brian Huang, cofounder of fintech firm Glider, also commented on the matter, focusing on a movement of bitcoin involving a single wallet that was worth billions.

“This afternoon there was a massive 4 billion dollar move from a dormant Bitcoin wallet,” he stated via email.

This post on X (formerly Twitter) mentions the aforementioned movement.

“A move from a dormant wallet is usually a sign of selling and taking profit,” he noted.

“The timing lines up with fresh BTC highs this week as well—a good time to sell,” Huang continued. “The move in BTC had ripple effects across the broader ecosystem which has affected ETH.”

Julio Moreno, head of research for CryptoQuant, offered his input, which focused on activity in the market for ether futures, derivatives contracts that investors can use to either speculative or hedge.

When asked whether ether’s recent drop was caused by profit taking, he replied “correct” via Telegram, adding “And this has more to do with traders taking profit in the futures market.”

He provided the chart below, which helps illustrate this activity:

Open interest in ether futures

CryptoQuant

“As you can see, open interest in the last 24 hours has declined by $1.7 billion as prices fell, indicating profit-taking by traders that held long positions,” he emphasized.

Retail Trader Hesitance Bruni commented on the mindset of retail investors, describing them as reluctant to purchase at current price levels.

“Amid the retail crowd, there’s some hesitancy in aggressively buying these new highs ahead of earnings season which kicks off next week,” he stated.

“Risks from the Fed, tariffs, or other global tensions have largely been discounted in the market, but earnings remain the wildcard and are seen as the primary risk for stocks and risk assets into the fourth quarter,” Bruni added.

“With that being said, while the major indexes churn sideways, there is still plenty of individual stock volatility that’s attracting traders,” he continued.

Range-Bound Trading Expected Bruni also offered a near-term outlook for ether.

“As for the crypto market, Ethereum is rangebound between 3,800 and 4,900 for the time being, though retail expects a breakout to new all-time highs eventually,” the analyst stated.

“For now, traders are buying dips toward the bottom of the range and selling peaks toward the top, waiting for the eventual move above 5,000 to signal that the next leg of this altcoin rally has begun,” Bruni added.
