LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. to Acquire Four Child Development Support and After-School Daycare Facilities in Miyagi Prefecture stocknewsapi
LFS
First M&A Following Nasdaq Listing to Accelerate Social Business Growth and Expansion in Northeast Japan

, /PRNewswire/ -- LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: LFS) (the "Company" or "Leifras"), a sports and social business company dedicated to youth sports and community engagement, announced today that on February 27, 2026, the Company entered into a business transfer agreement (the "Agreement") with Well Resources Co., Ltd. ("Well Resources") to acquire four child development support and after-school daycare facilities in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Well Resources is an operator of child welfare facilities and elderly care facilities in Japan. The acquisition is a critical initiative to accelerate profit growth in Leifras' social business segment and establish a leading position in the Northeastern Japan market via focused expansion in the region. The transaction is expected to close on May 1, 2026.

This acquisition represents Leifras' first M&A transaction since its Nasdaq listing and marks a key milestone in the Company's "Second Founding Period" strategy. The initiative is designed to fuel profit growth through capital investment into the social business segment, Leifras' primary growth area, leveraging the publicity and financial strength gained through its Nasdaq listing. The four facilities to be acquired maintain occupancy rates of nearly 100% and are supported by a team of 23 professionals holding national licenses, such as Physical Therapists (PT), Occupational Therapists (OT), and Speech-Language Pathologists (ST). The Company expects the acquisition to enhance its competitive advantage in the therapeutic education market, where entry barriers are rising, thereby maximizing corporate value.

Overview of Business Acquisition

Target Business: Well Resources' four after-school daycare service facilities, including Sora Fune Kami-Sakuragi Physical Education Support Classroom, Sora Fune Black Pine Physical Education Support Class, Sora Fune Takasago Physical Education Support Classroom, and Jupiter Rikuzen Takasago After-School Day Care Service. Date of Business Transfer Agreement: February 27, 2026 Expected Business Transfer Closing Date: May 1, 2026 Strategic and Financial Significance

Leifras' social business segment (mainly consists of club activity support and after-school daycare services) recorded revenue growth of 36.4% year-on-year in the third quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, driving the Company's overall performance with a high growth rate. The acquisition is a strategic move aimed to accelerate the momentum and establish a solid foundation for sustainable revenue growth.

Immediate Revenue and Earnings Contribution 

The four target facilities maintain occupancy rates of nearly 100% and have built strong reputations among local communities and counseling support agencies. Given that these assets are fully operational and do not rely on paid advertising, the Company expects immediate top-line and bottom-line contributions following closing, without ramp-up costs typically associated with de novo openings.

Scarce Specialized Talents Secured at Scale

In Japan, "high-quality support provided by professionals" has a strict requirement in the after-school daycare service market, and the ability to recruit high-quality specialized professional staffing is a critical entry barrier in the service market. Through this transaction, Leifras expects to retain 23 specialized staff members holding national licenses, such as Physical Therapists (PT), Occupational Therapists (OT), and Speech-Language Pathologists (ST), reducing the time and financial costs associated with recruitment while ensuring high-quality service delivery.

Focused Business Expansion and Synergy Creation in Northeastern Japan 

Leifras plans to combine the expertise gained from its nationwide after-school daycare service "LEIF" with the core offerings of the target facilities: "physical activity (therapeutic exercise)" and "desk-bound habit formation (learning support)." The Company expects this integration to generate operational synergy and advance its focused expansion in the Northeastern Japan area while optimizing operational efficiency.

Reducing Post-Merger Integration ("PMI") Risks Through Friendly Business Transfer

This transaction represents a friendly business transfer aimed at enhancing service value without altering the environment for children attending the facilities. The employees working at the target facilities are expected to maintain employment terms no less favorable than their current terms, minimizing the risk of talent loss. Following the closing, the Company plans to swiftly integrate its sports expertise and digital transformation infrastructure to ensure a smooth PMI.

Future Prospects: Long-Term Growth with Potential Additional M&As

Leifras intends to use this transaction as a successful model for future roll-up M&As targeting high-quality sports schools and therapeutic education facilities nationwide. As a Nasdaq-listed company, Leifras believes its access to capital markets and a strengthened governance framework will position it to pursue consolidation opportunities in Japan's fragmented sports and therapeutic education market and drive sustainable growth as a social business platform centered on "Sports × IT × Global."

ROSEN, LEADING INVESTOR RIGHTS COUNSEL, Encourages Snowflake Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action - SNOW stocknewsapi
SNOW
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 8, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers Class A common stock of Snowflake Inc. (NYSE: SNOW) between June 27, 2023 and the close of the market on February 28, 2024 (4:00 p.m. ET), inclusive (the "Class Period"). A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 27, 2026.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Snowflake Class A common stock 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 Snowflake class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=22950 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 April 27, 2026. 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. 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 has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company.

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, during the Class Period, defendants repeatedly made positive statements about the state of its business, including positive statements about customer usage of, and new developments for, its products. At the same time, defendants failed to disclose that: (1) product efficiency gains, Iceberg Tables and tiered storage pricing were expected to have a material negative impact on consumption and revenues, and (2) as a result, defendants' positive statements about consumption patterns, revenues, and demand for Snowflake products lacked a reasonable basis. 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.

BWET: Has Already Tripled Investor Capital, But Is It Still Worth Investing In? stocknewsapi
BWET
I recommend selling Breakwave Tanker Shipping ETF due to an unattractive risk-return profile after its dramatic 2026 surge. BWET's performance is tightly linked to the Middle East maritime oil freight, especially the Strait of Hormuz, making it highly sensitive to geopolitical disruptions. Oil shipping prices and BWET have already soared to levels not seen since the 2000s; further upside appears limited as conflict escalation is not in major powers' interests.

Does $150 Oil Matter to Nvidia? stocknewsapi
NVDA
This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.

With oil at $1o8, he question of what happens to Nvidia if oil hits $150 sounds dramatic. But the real answer reveals something important about what kind of company Nvidia actually is.

The Short Answer: Not Much Directly Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) is a fabless semiconductor company. It designs chips, outsources manufacturing to TSMC, and sells the resulting hardware to hyperscalers and enterprises racing to build AI infrastructure. Oil prices don’t show up anywhere in Jensen Huang’s risk factors. China export controls do. TSMC supply chain concentration does. Oil? Not once.

Look at the cost structure. Full-year FY2026 capital expenditures were $6.04 billion against $215.94 billion in revenue, a capital intensity ratio that most industrial companies would envy. Nvidia’s primary costs are R&D and compensation, not energy inputs. And gross margins have been expanding from 71.3% in Q1 FY2026 to 75.2% in Q4, suggesting the business runs more like a software platform than a factory.

Huang put it plainly on the Q4 earnings call: “Enterprise adoption of agents is skyrocketing. Our customers are racing to invest in AI compute: the factories powering the AI industrial revolution and their future growth.” That demand is structural. It doesn’t care about crude.

The Longer Answer: The Macro Channel Is Real Here’s where it gets more nuanced. $150 oil has never actually happened. The all-time high is $142.52 per barrel, hit in July 2008.

But $150 oil means inflation. Inflation means the Fed holds rates higher for longer. Higher rates compress the multiples on high-growth stocks. Nvidia trades at around 36x trailing earnings, with an analyst consensus target of $265.18. That valuation is sensitive to discount rates even when the underlying business is not sensitive to oil.

Prediction markets currently assign only a 46.5% probability that Nvidia closes above $180 by end of March, with the stock sitting at $177.82. That’s a market pricing in meaningful macro uncertainty, not fundamental deterioration.

The bottom line: $150 oil wouldn’t break Nvidia’s business. Q1 FY2027 revenue guidance of $78 billion is driven by AI compute demand that hyperscalers have already committed to. But $150 oil would almost certainly pressure the stock through inflation fears and multiple compression, at least temporarily. The business and the stock price are two different things, and in a macro shock, the market often punishes both indiscriminately before sorting them out.

XRP Holders Face Massive $50.8 Billion Loss Mountain cryptonews
XRP
📊
No votes yet – Be the first to vote

XRP crashed hard again. The token’s wild price swings left investors holding bags worth way less than what they paid, and Glassnode’s latest data shows the brutal reality facing millions of holders right now.

Most XRP buyers are pretty much underwater at current prices. They bought tokens when XRP was flying high, but now they’re stuck watching their investments bleed red every day. The numbers don’t lie – $50.8 billion in unrealized losses sits on the books, and that’s just what we can track. Many holders bought near XRP’s $1.96 peak back in early 2021, and today’s price action makes those purchases look really painful. Traders who jumped in during the hype cycles are now facing some tough choices about whether to cut losses or keep holding through this mess.

Not exactly shocking news.

The crypto market’s brutal nature isn’t new, but XRP’s journey shows just how fast things can flip. One day you’re celebrating massive gains, the next you’re calculating how much you’ve lost and wondering if you’ll ever break even again. And XRP holders know this feeling all too well – they’ve been through multiple cycles of hope and disappointment over the past few years.

Current market pressure keeps building on XRP investors. They’re stuck between selling at huge losses or holding on and praying for some kind of miracle recovery that might never come.

But XRP’s problems go way deeper than just market volatility. Ripple Labs, the company behind XRP, can’t shake the SEC lawsuit that’s been dragging on since December 2020. Legal uncertainty kills investor confidence faster than almost anything else in crypto, and this case has been hanging over XRP like a dark cloud for years now. Every time it looks like there might be some resolution, the case drags on longer and sentiment gets worse.

Brad Garlinghouse keeps talking tough about winning the lawsuit. “We’re confident in our position,” he said during a recent interview, but confidence doesn’t pay the bills for underwater investors. The CEO’s optimism hasn’t translated into price gains, and many holders are getting tired of waiting for legal clarity that seems to never arrive. For more details, see XRP Could Hit ,000 This Year.

Regulatory mess continues plaguing XRP.

Market dynamics for the token remain pretty murky. Institutional investors who might normally step in during these kinds of dips are staying away because of the legal risks. Grayscale and other big players have been exploring crypto opportunities, but XRP’s regulatory baggage makes it a harder sell than cleaner tokens like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Without institutional buying pressure, retail investors are basically on their own trying to prop up the price.

Trading volumes tell the real story about investor sentiment. Data from major exchanges shows people are making smaller, more cautious trades instead of big confident bets. Nobody wants to catch a falling knife, especially when that knife might get hit with more regulatory problems down the road. Volume patterns suggest most traders are sitting on the sidelines waiting for clearer signals.

Ripple tried throwing some good news into the mix recently. The company announced a partnership with a major financial institution in February 2026, hoping to show that XRP still has real-world utility despite all the legal drama. Partnerships sound great in press releases, but they haven’t moved the needle much on price action so far.

The XRP community keeps grinding through all this uncertainty. Some holders express frustration with how long everything’s taking, while others maintain faith that a favorable SEC ruling could trigger a massive price surge. Community sentiment stays mixed – nobody really knows what’s coming next, and that uncertainty keeps weighing on the token’s performance. This follows earlier reporting on Bitcoin Holders Who Wait Three Years.

Current price levels make the loss calculations pretty stark. Anyone who bought XRP above today’s trading range is sitting on red numbers, and the gap between purchase prices and market value keeps growing. March 2026 data from Glassnode shows most trading activity happening at these lower price levels, which means new buyers aren’t exactly rushing in to support higher valuations.

Ripple Labs hasn’t offered much guidance to worried investors lately. The company stays focused on fighting the SEC case and building business partnerships, but holders want to see concrete progress that actually moves the price upward. Until something major changes – either legal resolution or massive adoption news – XRP investors will probably keep staring at those unrealized loss numbers and wondering when their patience might finally pay off.

The SEC lawsuit’s financial impact extends beyond just legal fees for Ripple Labs. Court documents reveal the company has spent over $200 million defending against the charges, money that could have gone toward technology development or market-making activities. Former SEC officials like John Reed Stark have pointed out that prolonged cases often drain resources from both sides, creating a lose-lose scenario that benefits nobody. Meanwhile, other crypto projects have used this regulatory uncertainty to position themselves as “cleaner” alternatives to XRP in the payments space.

International markets tell a different story about XRP adoption. Japan’s financial regulators approved XRP for trading years ago, and the token maintains strong liquidity on exchanges like Bitbank and Coincheck. European crypto platforms including Bitstamp and Kraken continue listing XRP despite U.S. regulatory concerns. This geographic split creates an odd situation where American investors face restrictions while overseas traders can buy and sell freely, potentially limiting XRP’s growth in one of crypto’s biggest markets.

Oil Hits $111, Iran Names New Leader — Bitcoin Dips Below $66K cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin briefly slipped below $66,000 on Monday before partially recovering. Oil prices surged to their highest levels since 2022. Iran also named a new supreme leader, deepening the geopolitical uncertainty that has gripped financial markets since the war began nine days ago.

The confluence of a leadership succession in Tehran, record oil prices, and open-ended US escalation has left crypto markets with no clear catalyst for recovery.

A New Supreme Leader, A Longer WarWest Texas Intermediate crude surged as high as $111.24 per barrel at the Asian open — a 22% intraday jump — while Brent crude traded near $110, roughly $40 higher than last Friday. The moves follow last week’s record 36% gain in WTI, marking one of the most violent episodes in oil price history. US equity-index futures fell at the open as the dollar strengthened.

The catalyst was a weekend of compounding shocks. Iran’s Assembly of Experts named Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country’s new supreme leader on Sunday. The IRGC pledged full obedience. Rather than opening a path toward de-escalation, the succession appeared to harden Iran’s posture: the country’s armed forces said they could sustain at least six months of high-intensity conflict at the current pace and would soon begin deploying more advanced, rarely-used long-range missiles.

Hormuz Closure Tightens the ScrewThe UAE and Kuwait have begun cutting oil production as the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed. The UAE, OPEC’s third-biggest producer, reduced output from its offshore fields; Kuwait, OPEC’s fifth-biggest producer, cut crude oil and refinery production. Israel struck fuel depots in Tehran’s Kuhak and Shahran districts and the city of Karaj, with Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen warning that refineries and power stations remain on the target list.

A water desalination plant in Bahrain was struck by an Iranian drone — a significant escalation given that Gulf states depend on such facilities for most of their fresh drinking water. Late Sunday, Kuwait intercepted three ballistic missiles and destroyed two drones near its international airport.

The US State Department ordered the departure of American employees from Saudi Arabia, a step beyond the previously voluntary evacuation. President Trump said the US is considering broader strikes and is weighing the deployment of special forces to seize Iran’s near-bomb-grade uranium stockpile.

The Macro Math for BitcoinOil above $100 effectively closes the door on the rate-cut scenario that had been crypto’s main macro tailwind. A March Fed move was already off the table before the war began; with WTI at $111 and no resolution visible, a June cut looks equally remote. That keeps the dollar strong, real yields elevated, and Bitcoin trading as a risk asset rather than a store of value — the worst combination for a sustained recovery.

The scale of the disruption has few modern precedents. The Strait of Hormuz has never been fully closed during an active conflict involving the US. Gulf producers are simultaneously cutting output as storage fills. Oil infrastructure from Tehran to Kuwait City is under active fire — all at once.

Source: TruthSocialTrump, for his part, signaled no intention of pulling back. Writing on Truth Social on Sunday, he dismissed the oil price surge as a temporary and acceptable cost, predicting prices would fall sharply once Iran’s nuclear threat was eliminated. The post offered little comfort to markets pricing an extended conflict — and did nothing to suggest the Strait of Hormuz would reopen anytime soon.

Bitcoin drops 2% as oil prices surge on energy shortage fears cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin fell nearly 2% in just 15 minutes on Sunday while oil prices rose almost 20% as the escalating Middle East conflict prompted fears of a major supply shortage in the global energy market.

Data from decentralized derivatives platform Hyperliquid shows oil prices rose from $95 to $113.7 per barrel shortly after US futures markets opened, as Iraq warned that roughly 3 million barrels per day of production could be disrupted due to Iranian threats against tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.

It’s the highest price oil has reached since April 2022, a few weeks after Russia commenced its invasion of Ukraine, TradingView data shows. 

The price of oil rose more than 30% last week after the US and Israel struck Iran, leading the war-torn nation to counterstrike against several of its Middle Eastern neighbors.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell from $66,960 to $65,725 by 10:30 pm UTC on Sunday as US futures markets opened before bouncing back up to $66,272 at the time of publication.

Hyperliquid data also shows that oil prices have cooled off to $105 per barrel.

Change in oil price since Wednesday. Source: HyperliquidBitcoin climbed during the Middle Eastern conflict last week, which saw the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, rising from below $64,000 to $73,770 by Wednesday.

But since then, Bitcoin’s price has fallen over the last four consecutive days.

Trump not worried about oil pricesDespite the boom in oil prices, Trump expects the rapid rise in oil prices to be short-lived: 

“We figured oil prices would go up, which they will. They'll also come down. They'll come down very fast,” Trump told reporters on Saturday.

Trump also shrugged off the idea that the US may need to tap its Strategic Petroleum Reserve, stating:

“We’ve got a lot of oil. Our country has a tremendous amount,” said Trump. “There’s a lot of oil out there. That’ll get healed very quickly.”

Pump.fun whale pulls 853.5mln PUMP from exchange – Rally brewing? cryptonews
PUMP
A mysterious whale has withdrawn 853.5M PUMP worth $1.6M from Bybit and OKX within seven hours, raising holdings to 8.71B PUMP valued at $16.4M.

Such transfers reduce exchange liquidity while strengthening private wallet concentration. Large withdrawals often reflect deliberate accumulation rather than immediate selling interest. 

However, the timing of this movement also coincides with continued exchange outflows. That overlap suggests strategic positioning rather than short-term trading activity. 

When a whale removes supply from trading venues, circulating liquidity tightens and price sensitivity increases. 

As a result, even moderate demand shifts can trigger stronger reactions. The scale of this holding also introduces influence over short-term liquidity conditions.

PUMP double bottom rebound signals structural recovery Price action has formed a double-bottom rebound near the $0.00168 support zone. That area has held twice, creating a visible accumulation based on the daily chart. 

At the time of writing, Pump.fun [PUMP] traded around $0.001894 while attempting a gradual recovery. 

Buyers have defended the lower demand zone repeatedly, preventing deeper breakdowns. However, the chart shows overhead resistance near $0.002371, which currently restricts upside expansion. 

Price previously reacted strongly at that level, confirming it as a key supply barrier. A successful reclaim could shift the structure toward the broader resistance band near $0.003353. 

Until then, the market remains inside a developing recovery pattern. The projected path on the chart highlights a possible retest of $0.003353 if accumulation continues strengthening.

Source: TradingView

The RSI indicator currently reads 44.88 while the signal average sits near 43.43. This positioning keeps the oscillator below the neutral 50 level, yet the direction has started turning upward. 

Earlier declines pushed RSI toward oversold territory during January’s drop. However, recent sessions show gradual stabilization as selling pressure weakens. 

Buyers have started re-entering near the demand zone, which explains the indicator’s recovery. 

RSI often reflects underlying participation changes before price expands strongly. For this reason, the current rise from sub-40 territory suggests improving buying interest. 

However, the indicator still requires a move above the 50 midline to confirm stronger trend control. Such a shift would align with the developing double-bottom recovery structure.

Exchange outflows continue to tighten supply Spot exchange flow data reveals continued negative netflows across recent sessions. The latest reading shows roughly –$476.89K leaving exchanges. 

Negative netflows indicate tokens moving from trading platforms into private wallets. Such transfers often reduce immediate sell pressure across the market. 

However, the timing of these flows aligns closely with the whale accumulation event. This relationship strengthens the idea that large holders continue withdrawing supply from exchanges. 

Reduced liquidity can intensify price reactions once demand increases. Furthermore, sustained outflows often accompany accumulation cycles rather than distribution phases. 

When fewer tokens remain available for trading, price sensitivity grows. As a result, even moderate buying activity could trigger stronger upward responses if this trend persists.

Top traders lean strongly toward longs on PUMP Binance positioning data shows professional traders heavily favoring long exposure. Current figures show 70.3% long positions compared with 29.7% short positions. 

This imbalance produces a 2.37 Long-to-Short Ratio, reflecting clear directional bias. 

Experienced traders typically adjust exposure when they anticipate structural recovery. Therefore, this positioning suggests growing confidence in a potential rebound scenario. 

However, such concentration can also increase volatility during sudden price moves. If the market rises, long dominance could amplify the rally through additional leverage demand. 

On the other hand, sudden downside pressure could trigger liquidation clusters. Despite that risk, the current bias still reflects prevailing optimism among advanced traders.

To sum up, large withdrawals and continued exchange outflows have tightened PUMP’s available supply. 

Price has defended the $0.00168 demand zone, forming a clear double-bottom structure while RSI gradually recovers. 

At the same time, 70.3% of Binance’s top traders hold long positions, signaling rising bullish conviction. 

These factors collectively suggest the current structure favors upside continuation toward $0.002371, with $0.003353 emerging as the next potential target if buying pressure continues strengthening.

Final Summary A whale withdrew 853.5M PUMP ($1.6M) from Bybit and OKX, raising holdings to 8.71B tokens worth $16.4M. PUMP formed a double-bottom near $0.00168, signaling a possible structural recovery.

Bitcoin Price Slips as Oil Surges and US Stock Futures Tumble cryptonews
BTC
In brief Bitcoin is hovering around $66,150, down about 1.7% over the past 24 hours, as volatility spreads across global markets. U.S. stock-index futures tumbled, with Dow futures down more than 800 points while S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures each fell about 1.5%. Oil prices surged above $100 a barrel after strikes on energy infrastructure and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz raised fears of supply shocks. Bitcoin remained under pressure on Sunday, extending last week's losses as global markets brace for another bout of volatility triggered by surging oil prices and ongoing tensions in the Middle East.

The world’s largest crypto is trading at roughly $66,456, down about 1.7% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data. 

The token remains up about 1.4% over the past week, though it is down roughly 7.3% over the past month, reflecting choppy trading amid geopolitical tensions and macro uncertainty.

The move came as broader risk markets faced renewed pressure.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 800 points, or about 1.7%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures each dropped around 1.5% ahead of the U.S. trading session.

The selloff followed a sharp spike in oil prices tied to the escalating conflict involving Iran.

West Texas Intermediate crude jumped roughly 18% to above $107 a barrel, while Brent crude climbed about 16% to around $108, marking the first time global benchmarks have pushed above the $100 level since 2022.

Growing fears of supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow shipping corridor that handles roughly one-fifth of global oil shipments, have continued to plague global energy markets.

The spike in crude prices also follows a widening set of attacks on energy infrastructure across the region.

Israeli warplanes struck several fuel storage depots and refinery facilities in Tehran over the weekend, while Iran has launched drone strikes targeting oil tankers and energy sites across the Gulf.

For Bitcoin traders, the key question is whether the shock remains contained to commodities or spreads more broadly across risk assets.

Historically, cryptocurrencies have tended to move in tandem with equities during periods of macro stress.

 A sustained rise in oil prices could amplify inflation concerns and potentially delay interest-rate cuts, tightening financial conditions for speculative assets.

So far, however, Bitcoin has shown relative stability compared with traditional markets.

The token briefly slipped below $66,000 during weekend trading before recovering part of the move, suggesting traders may already have absorbed the initial geopolitical shock.

The geopolitical backdrop also shifted over the weekend after Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was named as the country’s new supreme leader, according to Iranian state television.

The elder Khamenei, 86, was killed in an Israeli strike targeting the supreme leader’s offices at the start of the war.

Mojtaba Khamenei, a secretive figure who has never held elected office, will now wield authority over Iran’s military and strategic decision-making, including oversight of the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

His appointment came on the ninth day of the conflict following deliberations by Iran’s 88-member Assembly of Experts, the clerical body responsible for selecting the country’s supreme leader.

3 Reasons Why I'm Not Buying Dogecoin in 2026 cryptonews
DOGE
Dogecoin (DOGE 0.70%) has taken its holders on a wild ride. Although its price is up a mind-boggling 40,600% in the past decade (as of March 3), it currently trades 88% off its peak. This level of extreme volatility is nothing new.

Now that Dogecoin has plummeted, there might be some risk-seeking market participants who want to make a move. I'm not one of these people. Here are three reasons why I'm not buying this meme cryptocurrency.

Image source: Getty Images.

No real-world utility The first reason I'm staying away from Dogecoin is because it doesn't solve a problem. The digital token was actually created as a joke competitor to Bitcoin. That's it. There was no other objective than that. And its two founders are no longer involved.

Over the years, it's clear that the market has viewed Bitcoin much more favorably, given that its market cap of $1.4 trillion is 92 times more valuable than Dogecoin's $15.2 billion. The former has the brand recognition, network effect, regulatory buy-in, and growing integration within financial services that support its use case as a novel monetary asset.

Dogecoin, on the other hand, comes up short in these key areas. That doesn't bode well for its future.

Price moves based on hype Nonetheless, it's still impressive that Dogecoin has remained relevant for such a long time. Its market cap right now is higher than well-known consumer-facing companies like Roku, Dutch Bros, and Etsy. That's a startling statistic.

I believe it all comes down to Dogecoin's community of supporters. They continue to believe in the project for some reason. For what it's worth, though, that community strength appears to be weakening, since Dogecoin's price has shown no signs of making a sustainable comeback to its price at the record in May 2021.

In the short term, the price can benefit from various hype cycles, which come about from public mentions of Dogecoin or market speculation about adoption. These spurts don't last long, and they are impossible to time correctly.

The token's supply has no upper limit There are currently 169 billion Dogecoin tokens in circulation. That number increases by 10,000 per minute and about 5 billion per year. There is no hard supply cap. So, investors completely miss out on scarcity being a valuable attribute.

This setup does not benefit Dogecoin holders. It's similar to a business constantly issuing new shares. In other words, demand must outstrip supply in order for the token's price to have any chance at durable appreciation. That's not a bet I'm willing to make.

Neil Patel has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Bitcoin, Dutch Bros, Etsy, and Roku. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Saylor signals another Bitcoin buy as BTC hovers near $66K cryptonews
BTC
Michael Saylor, the co-founder of Bitcoin (BTC) treasury company Strategy, indicated on Sunday that the firm is buying more BTC, as the price hovers near the $66,000 level. 

“The Second Century Begins,” Saylor said on X, as he shared the Strategy BTC accumulation chart that has become synonymous with impending BTC purchases.

Strategy’s most recent BTC purchase occurred during the last week of February, when the company bought 3,015 BTC for more than $204 million, bringing its total holdings to 720,737 BTC, valued at about $48.1 billion using market prices at the time of publication.

The price of Bitcoin is currently below Strategy’s average purchase cost of about $75,985 per BTC, according to data from SaylorTracker.

Strategy’s basic NAV is just below 1, according to the company, meaning it is trading at a discount to its BTC treasury.

2026 may be the year of consolidation for crypto treasury companies, but Saylor isn’t buying The digital asset treasury market could consolidate in 2026, as companies with operating businesses that generate cash flow will buy up treasury companies that simply accumulate BTC, according to Wojciech Kaszycki, chief strategy officer of treasury company BTCS.

“If you consolidate with another player, sometimes two plus two equals six or more, you can win faster, because everybody in this market trading below net asset value is struggling,” he told Cointelegraph.

Source: BitcoinTreasuriesCrypto treasury companies can provide validation services for blockchain networks, mine cryptocurrencies, offer private or public credit instruments, or start any business unrelated to digital assets to generate revenue, he added.

Saylor has dismissed the idea of buying up competitors or distressed BTC treasury companies, citing financial uncertainty as the main reason for avoiding mergers and acquisitions.

“These things tend to stretch out six to nine months or a year,” he said. “An idea that looks good when you start might not still be a good idea six months later,” he added.

Trump-Linked American Bitcoin Adds 11,298 ASICs, Boosts Hashrate cryptonews
BTC
The new hardware is expected to add about 3.05 exahash per second (EH/s) of mining power when deployed at the company’s site in Drumheller.

American Bitcoin (ABTC) is expanding its Bitcoin mining operations by purchasing 11,298 new ASIC equipment.

The acquisition is expected to increase the company’s total capacity by 12%, supporting its strategy of accumulating BTC through mining operations.

The 12% Capacity Expansion ABTC said in a March 3 press release that the new miners will add 3.05 exahash per second (EH/s) to its owned capacity, with the machines scheduled for deployment in March 2026 at the Drumheller site in Alberta, Canada.

Each unit is expected to operate at an efficiency rate of approximately 13.5 joules per terahash (J/TH), compared with the company’s current fleet average of 16 J/TH.

“As Bitcoin matures, the priority is clear: grow American-owned, professionally operated hashrate,” said co-founder Eric Trump. “That’s how we protect the network, drive innovation, and lead the future of Bitcoin in America.”

Following this purchase, American Bitcoin’s owned fleet will increase by 12% to 89,242 miners, representing about 28.1 EH/s of total owned capacity. The managed fleet contains all miners held by the company, including units that may not currently be operational.

Once the new equipment is online, the working fleet will comprise 58,999 miners delivering around 25.0 EH/s with an average efficiency of approximately 14.1 J/TH. For comparison, the largest publicly listed BTC miners currently operate at roughly 50 EH/s.

Bitcoin Accumulation Strategy Matt Prusak, president of ABTC, said the company makes every decision to maximize its accumulation of the OG cryptocurrency. The miner firm previously reported that it ended 2025 with 5,041 BTC on its balance sheet, which has since grown to more than 6,000 BTC.

Following the recent deployment of high-efficiency machines, the company aims to produce BTC at a structurally advantaged cost basis and grow its total holdings per share through disciplined mining operations and capital allocation.

Meanwhile, the expansion comes when several public miners are redirecting capital and infrastructure toward AI workloads. Companies such as Core Scientific, Riot Platforms, Cipher Mining, and Bitdeer have repurposed parts of their data center capacity to support the technology.

American Bitcoin itself reported a net loss of $59.45 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a $3.48 million profit a year earlier.

For the three months ending December 31, the company’s revenue was $78.3 million, up from $64.2 million during the same period last year, but slightly lower than the $79.6 million analysts had anticipated.

MicroStrategy Plans Fresh Bitcoin Buy as Price Hits $66K cryptonews
BTC
📊
No votes yet – Be the first to vote

MicroStrategy wants more Bitcoin. The company led by Michael Saylor said it’s planning another major purchase as Bitcoin trades near $66,000, adding to its already massive $48.4 billion cryptocurrency treasury that’s become the talk of Wall Street.

Saylor’s firm has been on a Bitcoin buying spree for years now, pretty much turning itself into a crypto proxy play for investors who want exposure without buying Bitcoin directly. The latest purchase plan fits right into their strategy of using cryptocurrency to beef up the balance sheet, even though the approach has created some wild swings in the stock price. MicroStrategy currently trades at a discount to its net asset value, which sits below 1 – a gap that’s caught the attention of value hunters and crypto enthusiasts alike.

Bitcoin’s sitting pretty close to $66K right now.

But the volatility doesn’t scare Saylor off. He’s been one of Bitcoin’s loudest cheerleaders, constantly posting updates and insights on social media about why he thinks digital assets are the future. “Bitcoin is digital gold,” Saylor said in a recent statement, hammering home his view that traditional currencies are losing their punch against inflation. The guy’s enthusiasm has basically become MicroStrategy’s brand at this point, with the company holding over 140,000 BTC since starting its buying campaign back in August 2020.

Wall Street’s watching every move here because when MicroStrategy buys, Bitcoin often moves. The firm’s purchases have historically coincided with market dips, and analysts think this latest announcement could spark another round of institutional interest in crypto.

The board hasn’t approved final numbers yet. Details remain under wraps until they meet. For more details, see Bitcoin Hits ,000 Then Crashes as.

MicroStrategy plans to fund the purchase through a mix of cash and debt, similar to previous deals that included convertible bond offerings. The company has used this playbook before, timing major purchases around significant market movements – and March has already delivered plenty of those. On March 7, Bitcoin dropped below $65,000 before bouncing back, the kind of volatility that would make most corporate treasurers nervous but seems to energize Saylor’s team.

Some analysts think MicroStrategy’s aggressive buying could inspire other companies to follow suit. The firm has basically set the template for how corporations can add Bitcoin to their balance sheets, though few have been willing to go as big as Saylor has. Market watchers are particularly curious about whether other tech companies might start viewing Bitcoin as a legitimate hedge against inflation, especially given the current economic climate where traditional assets face pressure.

The upcoming board meeting is crucial for both MicroStrategy and the broader crypto market. Whatever amount they decide on – and however they choose to finance it – will likely send ripples through Bitcoin’s price action. Saylor’s track record of buying during volatile periods has made him something of a folk hero among Bitcoin maximalists, though traditional investors sometimes question the strategy’s wisdom.

Bitcoin’s price movements around $66,000 have created both opportunity and risk for companies considering similar strategies. MicroStrategy’s approach of accumulating during market uncertainty has paid off historically, but each new purchase comes with increased exposure to crypto’s notorious price swings. The firm’s substantial holdings mean any significant Bitcoin move directly impacts its market value, creating a feedback loop that amplifies both gains and losses. More on this topic: Bitcoin ETFs Hemorrhage 8 Million as.

Market participants are keeping close tabs on the timing and size of MicroStrategy’s next move. The company’s previous purchases have often coincided with broader institutional adoption waves, and this latest announcement comes at a time when Bitcoin’s price action has been particularly volatile throughout early March 2026.

Saylor remains unfazed by the ups and downs, viewing Bitcoin’s volatility as part of its natural evolution toward becoming a mainstream store of value. His vision continues to drive MicroStrategy’s financial decisions, even as critics question whether any company should have such concentrated exposure to a single volatile asset. The board’s upcoming decision will test whether that conviction translates into another major Bitcoin bet.

The company’s Bitcoin strategy has attracted scrutiny from regulators and accounting experts who question whether such concentrated cryptocurrency exposure creates systemic risks for shareholders. MicroStrategy’s auditors have flagged the need for enhanced disclosure around digital asset valuations, particularly given Bitcoin’s tendency to experience 20-30% price swings within single trading sessions. Several pension funds and institutional investors have expressed concerns about the firm’s deviation from traditional treasury management practices.

Meanwhile, other corporate Bitcoin holders are watching MicroStrategy’s moves closely. Tesla, Block, and Coinbase have much smaller Bitcoin positions relative to their market caps, making Saylor’s firm an outlier in terms of crypto concentration risk. The Securities and Exchange Commission has been developing new guidelines for how public companies should report cryptocurrency holdings, with MicroStrategy’s massive treasury serving as a key case study for regulatory frameworks that could affect future corporate adoption.

How Strategy's 3-Layer Architecture Is Building a New Financial System on Bitcoin cryptonews
BTC
TLDR: Table of Contents

TLDR:How the Architecture Is Structured Across Three Distinct LayersDigital Credit Bridges Bitcoin and Equity in the StackStrategy’s Digital Equity Completes the Self-Reinforcing System Bitcoin anchors the 3-Layer Architecture as Digital Capital with a fixed supply and no central issuer or counterparty. Stretch functions as Digital Credit, using Bitcoin as collateral to create a superior alternative to traditional fiat-backed credit. Strategy operates as Digital Equity, deploying a reflexive flywheel that compounds Bitcoin Per Share for common equity holders. The 3-Layer Architecture is the first unified capital stack where treasury, credit, and equity are all backed by Bitcoin. The 3-Layer Architecture enabling Strategy to revolutionise finance is drawing attention across global capital markets.

Strategy has built a vertically integrated capital stack that connects Bitcoin, credit, and equity into one coherent system. Each layer feeds the one above it, creating a structure that compounds over time.

This architecture did not exist before Bitcoin made it technically possible. It represents a new category of financial institution that operates entirely outside the traditional monetary framework.

How the Architecture Is Structured Across Three Distinct Layers The 3-Layer Architecture is composed of Digital Capital, Digital Credit, and Digital Equity. Each layer serves a separate function and targets investors with different financial goals.

Bitcoin sits at the bottom as Digital Capital, providing the foundation for everything built above it. Stretch occupies the middle as Digital Credit, while Strategy sits at the top as Digital Equity.

Bitcoin is the only asset with a fixed supply, no issuer, and no central point of failure. No government or central bank can dilute, debase, or seize it.

These properties make it the most reliable foundation for a new financial system. Analyst Chris Millas described it as “the soundest money humanity has ever discovered.”

The architecture is intentionally built from the bottom up. Each layer derives its strength from the layer beneath it. Without sound capital at the base, neither the credit nor the equity layer could function with the same level of integrity.

Digital Credit Bridges Bitcoin and Equity in the Stack Stretch, the Digital Credit layer, acts as the bridge between Bitcoin and Strategy’s equity. Unlike traditional credit, Stretch is collateralised by Bitcoin rather than fiat currency.

This changes the fundamental risk profile of the credit instrument entirely. As Millas noted, “the quality of a credit instrument is only as good as the quality of the collateral backing it.”

Traditional credit rests on fiat — a centralised asset that governments can inflate or seize at any time. Bitcoin-backed credit cannot be manipulated by any central authority.

That structural difference gives Digital Credit a clear advantage over conventional credit products. It also opens a new income category for investors who want Bitcoin exposure without direct price volatility.

Strategy raises capital by issuing these Digital Credit products to investors with varying risk tolerances. That capital flows directly into Bitcoin acquisitions. The credit layer is therefore not passive — it actively powers the equity layer above it.

Strategy’s Digital Equity Completes the Self-Reinforcing System At the top of the 3-Layer Architecture sits Strategy as Digital Equity. It offers a leveraged, reflexive claim on Bitcoin’s appreciation, amplified through the financial engineering of the credit layer below.

As Bitcoin holdings grow, the balance sheet strengthens, attracting more investor capital. That capital then purchases more Bitcoin, and the cycle continues.

Millas described this loop clearly: “More Bitcoin → Stronger Balance Sheet → Stronger Credit Rating → Attract More Capital → More Bitcoin.”

Each rotation through this cycle compounds Strategy’s Bitcoin Per Share for common equity holders. The flywheel accelerates with each pass, not slows down.

Strategy is the first institution to unify treasury, credit, and equity under one Bitcoin-backed capital structure. Millas called this “a new financial primitive” with no direct predecessor in conventional finance.

The 3-Layer Architecture is not a theory — it is already operating and scaling across global capital markets.

Bitcoin tumbles below $66,000 as oil prices explode nearly 20% higherThere was little sign over the weekend of any de-escalation in the war against Iran.Updated Mar 8, 2026, 10:50 p.m. Published Mar 8, 2026, 10:43 p.m.

In what's become a familiar scenario in crypto over the past few months, prices are starting the week on the wrong foot.

After little sign over the weekend of any de-escalation in the U.S. war against Iran, the price of oil has exploded higher in Sunday evening U.S. trade. April WTI crude oil futures are currently up 19.1% to $108.35 per barrel. That's roughly double the price at the start of 2026 and the highest level in about four years.

That surge, in turn, has sent U.S. stock index futures down by nearly 2% across the board. Futures for Japan's Nikkei 225 are lower by 3.1% shortly before that stock market opens for Monday trade.

Bitcoin BTC$66,210.10 is lower by 2% and trading just below $66,000. Ether (ETH) and solana (SOL) are down closer to 1.4%.

A check of other commodity prices finds the precious metals and copper all trading modestly lower.

Why U.S. lawmakers signing against CBDC could be bullish signal for XRP? cryptonews
XRP
Journalist

Posted: March 9, 2026

U.S. congressional debate over a Federal Reserve digital currency has entered a decisive stage as lawmakers push to restrict CBDC development.

A letter from Representative Michael Cloud urges congressional leaders to strengthen restrictions within the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

Initially, the Senate version proposed a temporary CBDC prohibition until December 2030. However, lawmakers argue the language weakens earlier efforts to impose a permanent ban.

This proposal builds on H.R.1919, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, which previously passed the House with bipartisan backing. At the same time, 14 representatives signed the letter, signaling growing political resistance to a government digital dollar.

Meanwhile, global CBDC experimentation continues to accelerate.

Roughly 137 jurisdictions now explore digital currencies, while 49 operate active pilot programs. Against this, the U.S. policy stance increasingly favors private infrastructure.

XRPL transaction growth signals renewed network activity However, the recent reversal introduces a different dynamic. Daily activity now averages roughly 2.5 million transactions, indicating renewed network engagement across payments and tokenized asset transfers.

Source: CryptoQuant

At the same time, tokenization activity on the ledger is expanding. Represented Asset Value has reached about $1.49 billion, while Distributed  Assets  Value climbed to roughly $453 million.

Meanwhile, transfer activity has accelerated sharply. Over the past 30 days, RWA transfer volumes surged 1,282% to $139.85 million, reflecting growing financial flows across the network.

This growth appears driven by issuers experimenting with commodities, private credit, and alternative assets on XRPL.

Although Ethereum [ETH] still dominates institutional tokenization, rising transaction volumes suggest the XRP Ledger is gradually attracting early-stage institutional experimentation and broader financial participation.

RLUSD emerges as XRPL’s liquidity engine Final Summary Ripple [XRP] transaction growth near 2.5 million daily and expanding tokenized assets suggest rising experimentation with XRPL as infrastructure for payments and tokenized finance. Ripple USD [RLUSD] stablecoin liquidity and the U.S. CBDC policy halt signal a shift where private blockchain networks increasingly shape digital dollar infrastructure.

3 Things The Trade Desk Must Prove in 2026 stocknewsapi
TTD
The Trade Desk (TTD 1.75%) enters 2026 in a very different position than it was in just a few years ago.

For most of the past decade, the company enjoyed near-flawless execution. Revenue beat expectations quarter after quarter, and customer retention remained consistently above 90%. Unsurprisingly, investors rewarded that consistency with a premium valuation.

But 2025 changed the tone. Competition intensified. Execution wobbled. And the advertising landscape shifted more decisively toward large ecosystems with powerful first-party data. The Trade Desk remains a strong business. But the real question now is whether it can prove its structural advantage in a tougher environment.

Here are three things The Trade Desk must prove in 2026.

Image source: Getty Images.

Kokai must deliver durable, measurable performance gains Launched as the latest artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled platform, Kokai is no longer a product rollout story. It's now the foundation of the company's future. Management stated that nearly all clients run campaigns through Kokai. That milestone shifts the conversation from adoption to outcomes. In 2026, investors won't care about how many advertisers use Kokai. They will care about whether it consistently drives superior results.

The company has highlighted meaningful improvements in cost per acquisition, reach efficiency, and engagement metrics. If those gains persist across verticals and economic cycles, Kokai becomes a durable competitive advantage.

But here's the challenge: Amazon, Google, and Meta are also embedding AI deeply into their advertising stacks. Every major platform now claims smarter optimization. The Trade Desk must prove that its AI performs better in an open, multi-publisher environment than in walled gardens. That means demonstrating:

Sustained lower cost per action (CPA) relative to peers. Higher return on ad spend across industries. Increased advertiser spend driven by measurable lift. If Kokai drives consistent performance improvements, it strengthens the company's moat. If performance converges with competitors, differentiation narrows.

Access to premium connected TV supply must hold Connected TV (CTV) remains one of the most important growth drivers in digital advertising. Particularly, it sits at the center of The Trade Desk's long-term growth thesis. But 2025 made one thing clear: Competition for premium streaming inventory is intensifying.

Amazon's growing advertising presence and its partnerships with major streaming platforms raised the stakes. When large ecosystems secure direct relationships with high-value content providers, independent platforms must work harder to maintain access. The Trade Desk does not need exclusive inventory to succeed. But it does need stable, scalable access to a premium, authenticated supply. In 2026, investors should watch:

Whether CTV revenue continues growing at attractive rates. Whether partnerships with major publishers remain intact and competitive. Whether advertisers maintain spend diversification rather than consolidating within a single ecosystem. If premium supply consolidates heavily inside one or two large platforms, The Trade Desk's leverage weakens. If supply remains broadly accessible and advertisers continue to value neutrality, the open internet model remains viable. Supply access is not a short-term metric. It's a structural question.

The company must scale without losing precision The Trade Desk almost crossed $3 billion in annual revenue in 2025. That milestone marks a transition from high-growth challenger to scaled platform company. While scale brings durability, it also brings complexity. During 2025, management discussed simplification initiatives, go-to-market upgrades, and workflow improvements. Those moves suggest the company understands the operational demands of its new size.

But the flawless execution narrative has cracked. The streak of revenue beats ended, and quarterly volatility increased. So, in 2026, The Trade Desk must demonstrate it can operate at scale without sacrificing precision. That means:

Consistent revenue growth in the high teens or better. Margin stability or expansion despite competitive pressure. Clear guidance with fewer surprises. If execution remains steady, investors will regain confidence. But if volatility persists, investors may become even more pessimistic about the company and its stock.

What does it mean for investors? 2025 has been one of the most challenging years for The Trade Desk as evidenced by its share-price plunge. In 2026, it must demonstrate to investors that its competitive advantages remain durable in a changing ecosystem.

Can Kokai outperform rival AI systems? Can the open internet strategy compete with tightening walled gardens? Can the company scale without sacrificing reliability? If the answers are yes, 2026 could mark the next phase of long-term compounding. If the answers are mixed, the stock may continue to trade sideways as investors wait for clearer evidence.

Either way, investors should closely monitor the company's execution in 2026.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Kyndryl's financial statements issued during the Class Period were materially misstated; (2) Kyndryl lacked adequate internal controls and at times materially understated issues with its internal controls; (3) as a result, Kyndryl would be unable to timely file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC for the quarter ended December 31, 2025; and (4) as a result, Defendants' statements about Kyndryl's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all times.

1 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock to Buy Before It Soars 74% to Join Nvidia as a $4 Trillion-Dollar Company stocknewsapi
AMZN
Amazon (AMZN 2.61%) has a market capitalization of $2.3 trillion, and its share price has moved 44% higher over the last five years. While the company's valuation still managed to march higher over the last half-decade, the cloud-computing and e-commerce giant has the unenviable distinction of being one of only two "Magnificent Seven" companies to underperform the S&P 500's level increase of roughly 80% over the stretch.

Microsoft is the only other Mag 7 stock to lag behind the benchmark index, and its share-price gain of roughly 78% over the period is just slightly behind the index's. Meanwhile, Nvidia's stock has rocketed 1,330% higher over the last five years. The tech company's leadership position in advanced graphics processing units (GPUs) used for artificial intelligence (AI) processes has allowed its stock to post incredible gains.

The rise of AI has also played a huge role in powering market-beating gains for most Magnificent Seven stocks.

With many top tech companies seeing strong sales and earnings growth connected to AI, Amazon stock's relative underperformance stands out in a big way. On the other hand, there are good reasons to bet against the stock continuing to be a laggard.

Read on to see why Amazon has the potential to surge 74% and join Nvidia in the $4 trillion club.

Amazon is likely just starting to benefit from AI In 2025, Amazon posted sales of $716.9 billion and surpassed Walmart to become the world's largest company by revenue. While Amazon generates profit margins that are significantly better than Walmart's, its levels of net income generation relative to revenue come in much lower than most companies in the Magnificent Seven. The reason for the margin disparity compared to other tech leaders is that Amazon still generates most of its revenue from its e-commerce business, and online retail is a highly cost-intensive business.

While the much higher margin Amazon Web Services segment accounted for just 18% of total revenue last year, it accounted for $45.6 billion of the company's total of $80 billion in operating income. The company's Amazon Web Services cloud infrastructure segment has already seen sales growth supported by rising AI demand and should continue to power earnings growth, but there could be even better news for investors.

Amazon will likely be able to achieve much better margins on its e-commerce business thanks to the evolution of AI and robotics technologies. In addition to warehouse automation, the company will have opportunities to leverage autonomous driving and other delivery-related technologies to further reduce operating expenses.

As the world's largest company by revenue, Amazon's massive sales base provides the potential for huge earnings growth in conjunction with cost reductions and margin improvements. While it's highly unlikely that the e-commerce business will ever record margins that come close to what AWS is delivering, betting on meaningful margin improvements for online retail operations from AI and robotics over the next five years actually looks like a fairly safe bet. The company is investing heavily right now to build out the necessary infrastructure, but the market could quickly re-rate Amazon and put it on a path to a $4 trillion market cap when significant margin improvements start to materialize.

RGNX Investors Have Opportunity to Lead REGENXBIO, Inc. Securities Fraud Lawsuit stocknewsapi
RGNX
, /PRNewswire/ -- 

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of REGENXBIO, Inc. (NASDAQ: RGNX) between February 9, 2022 and January 27, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important April 14, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased REGENXBIO 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 REGENXBIO class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=53421 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 April 14, 2026. 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 handle 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 has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. 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 provided investors with material information concerning REGENXBIO's plan to develop and commercialize its product candidate RGX-111, a one-time gene therapy for the treatment of severe Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I, also known as Hurler syndrome. Defendants' statements included, among other things, REGENXBIO's positive assertions of RGX-111's future trial success based on continuing positive biomarker and safety data from the ongoing PhaseI/II study. Defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the efficacy and safety of its RGX-111 trial study. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the REGENXBIO class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=53421 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Why Risk-Averse Investors Should Buy Nvidia Stock stocknewsapi
NVDA
Despite having the world's largest market cap and being a public company for more than 27 years now, Nvidia (NVDA 2.94%) still qualifies as a growth stock. The latest growth catalyst for Nvidia is its leadership in the emerging and fast-growing artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator market. Even with its already massive size, its revenue levels keep surging.

However, the stock price growth in recent months has not kept pace with the increases in revenue. This is creating a situation where Nvidia's business and financial condition look increasingly conservative. Thus, risk-averse investors should probably consider Nvidia stock, and here's why.

Image source: Nvidia.

The conservative case for Nvidia Nvidia just released its earnings for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 (ended Jan. 25). Admittedly, if looking at the quarterly numbers in isolation, it does not appear low risk. Revenue climbed 73% year over year to $68 billion. Also, the $43 billion in net income in fiscal Q4 was far above the year-ago quarterly profit of $22 billion.

However, investors should note that the success of technology stocks in recent decades forced Warren Buffett to change his view on this stock category. True to that changing mindset, companies like Apple and Microsoft matured amid solid balance sheets and modest dividend payments.

Additionally, looking further out, Nvidia's business is on track to mature. The 57% revenue growth rate for fiscal 2026 shows this growth is not a one-time event, as the same goes for the analyst forecast of 70% annual revenue growth in fiscal 2027.

Nonetheless, analysts predict that revenue growth will slow to 25% yearly in fiscal 2028, and the stock seems to be pricing in the slowdown. In the last six months, Nvidia's stock has been down so far in 2026, a stark contrast from the 1,500% growth since hitting a low during the 2022 bear market.

Moreover, the earnings multiples seem to be closing in on value stock levels. Its 37 price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is only slightly above the S&P 500 average of 30. Also, growth levels arguably make it worth that premium, especially considering the forward P/E ratio of just 22.

Furthermore, investors should take notice of its increasingly solid balance sheet. It has now built up its liquidity position to almost $63 billion, and its $207 billion in total assets is more than 4x the $50 billion in total liabilities, a factor that should reassure investors who might otherwise avoid this stock.

Protect and grow wealth in Nvidia stock Nvidia is slowly becoming a more mature stock, and that could profit conservative investors.

Indeed, predictions that Nvidia is about to soar may make the stock seem riskier. Nonetheless, holding the world's largest market cap and a long trading history are signs of maturity. Also, AI accelerators are likely here to stay and have generated more wealth for the company than some investors can comprehend. That gave the company a solid balance sheet, and a coming slowdown in growth has made its valuation more reasonable.

Admittedly, risk-averse investors may need a shift in mindset to embrace this stock. Still, for those willing to go slightly outside their comfort zone, it could pay off significantly for them in the coming years.

The Best Dividend ETF to Buy With $1,000 Right Now for Reliable Income stocknewsapi
SCHD
Are you looking to add an income-producing component to your current portfolio? There's certainly no shortage of options. If you're looking for simple, productive, and inexpensive choices, an ETF arguably makes the most sense.

But not just any ETF.

While names like the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG 0.86%) or the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM 0.88%) are respectable options, despite its 19% run-up from its early November low, the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD 0.42%) is still your highest-yielding and most compelling prospect.

The key isn't what it holds, but rather what it doesn't hold.

Image source: Getty Images.

The same, but different One would think any exchange-traded fund with the word "dividend" in the name would be similar. However, that's not the case.

Take the aforementioned Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF. It only holds stocks with a long-term track record of annual dividend payment growth, ignoring how much yield shareholders collect from the stocks. This particular Vanguard holds a bunch of technology growth stocks, including Broadcom, Apple, and Microsoft. They pay ever-growing dividends, but none of them actually offer a great deal of dividend income. Its trailing yield is a mere 1.6%.

Regarding the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF, it suffers from comparable but different structural limitations. Meant to mirror the FTSE® High Dividend Yield Index, Broadcom is also its biggest holding despite this stock's forward-looking yield of just under 1%. Other major holdings, including JPMorgan Chase, ExxonMobil, and Walmart, are more along the lines of what you'd expect from such an index and fund. Even then, though, these blue-chip stocks' persistent premium pricing means this fund's trailing dividend yield is a modest 2.3%.

The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF, however, is distinctly different from both of these seemingly good alternatives. Based on the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100™ Index, it first and foremost requires strong dividend yields, and then only chooses 100 of these eligible names using important fundamental factors such as free cash flow and return on equity.

Today's Change

(

-0.42

%) $

-0.13

Current Price

$

31.13

The result? Its holdings aren't mostly technology names attached to the artificial intelligence revolution. This ETF's biggest positions include Lockheed Martin, Verizon, and Coca-Cola -- although being an equal-weighted fund, these names won't remain the biggest positions after the end of the current quarter. These are boring non-tech companies, but they fulfill their first and foremost duty of generating good, reliable income. Even with the fund's rally since early November, you'd be plugging into a healthy trailing yield of 3.4%.

Time for a strategic shift as well There's more to the matter than just a dividend yield, of course, like dividend growth. In this vein, the Schwab ETF's quarterly per-share payout has grown a healthy 6.8% annaul pace over the past five years, easily outpacing inflation.

Perhaps the best reason to buy in on SCHD, however, is the less obvious one: It's essentially a value fund in an environment where growth stocks may be on the verge of running out of gas.

Think about it. It's no mere coincidence that this ETF's price has been rising of late while the rest of the growth-led market struggles. Cracks are starting to form for many of the market's hottest tech names, making economically resilient companies like Coca-Cola and Verizon the next must-have stocks.

NEW YORK, March 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

What’s Happening?

Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Ardent Health, Inc. (“Ardent Health” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ARDT) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Ardent Health securities between July 18, 2024 and November 12, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”).Investors have until March 9, 2026 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. What are the Allegation Details?

According to the complaint, Ardent Health reported higher amounts of accounts receivable during the class period, and delayed recognizing losses on uncollectable accounts. Further, Ardent Health did not maintain professional malpractice liability insurance in amounts "sufficient to cover claims arising out of [its] operations[.]”
Plaintiff alleges that on November 12, 2025, Ardent Health revealed a $43 million decrease in third quarter 2025 revenue due to revised determinations of accounts receivable collectability after the Company transitioned to a new revenue accounting system and from purported “recently completed hindsight evaluations of historical collection trends.” On this news, the price of Ardent Health stock fell $4.75 per share, or nearly 34%, from $14.05 per share on November 12, 2025, to close at $9.30 per share on November 13, 2025.

BRBR FINAL DEADLINE: ROSEN, A TOP RANKED LAW FIRM, Encourages BellRing Brands, Inc. Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action - BRBR stocknewsapi
BRBR
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 8, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of BellRing Brands, Inc. (NYSE: BRBR) between November 19, 2024 and August 4, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important March 23, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased BellRing 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 BellRing class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=51444 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 March 23, 2026. 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 handle 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 has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. 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, BellRing develops, markets, and sells "convenient nutrition" products such as ready-to-drink ("RTD") protein shakes primarily under the brand name Premier Protein. During the Class Period, defendants represented that sales growth reflected increased end-consumer demand, attributing results to "organic growth," "distribution gains," "incremental promotional activity," and "[s]trong macro tailwinds around protein" among other factors. At the same time, defendants downplayed the impact of competition on demand, insisting BellRing was not experiencing any significant changes in competition, and that in the RTD category particularly, BellRing possessed a "competitive moat," given that "the ready-to-drink category is just highly complex" and the products are "hard to formulate." As alleged, in truth, BellRing's reported sales during the Class Period were driven by its key customers stockpiling inventory and did not reflect increased end-consumer demand or brand momentum. Following the destocking, BellRing admitted that competitive pressures were materially weakening demand. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the BellRing class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=51444 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

This Cathie Wood Stock Is Up 47% This Year: Is It Too Late to Buy? stocknewsapi
NTLA
Cathie Wood, the CEO of the investment management firm Ark Invest, is known for focusing on companies with significant innovative potential. One of her firm's picks, Intellia Therapeutics (NTLA +2.02%), fits the bill.

Intellia is a mid-cap biotech company specializing in gene editing and developing medicines for diseases for which few exist. The drugmaker has already performed exceptionally well this year, with shares up 47%. Should investors consider purchasing shares of Intellia Therapeutics after this run?

Image source: Getty Images.

Why Intellia's shares are soaring Intellia Therapeutics' two leading pipeline candidates are lonvo-z and nex-z. The former is an investigational treatment for hereditary angioedema, a rare condition that causes painful episodes of swelling across the body, including on the limbs and face. Nex-z targets transthyretin amyloidosis, a genetic disease that results in the malfunctioning of the transthyretin protein and can cause a range of life-threatening cardiovascular issues.

Last year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) put two phase 3 studies for nex-z on clinical hold after a patient died in one of them due to liver failure. Here's the good news: The FDA has now lifted these clinical holds and allowed Intellia Therapeutics to move forward with its clinical studies. Since the stock fell following these negative developments last year, it's not surprising to see it bounce back while the biotech takes a giant step toward putting these issues in the rearview mirror.

Reasons to be cautious about Intellia Therapeutics Despite the good news, there are good reasons to remain skeptical of Intellia Therapeutics' prospects. First, neither the company nor regulators have revealed whether or not nex-z caused the liver issues that led to the patient's death. Without that bit of information, Intellia Therapeutics could, for all we know, run into similar issues in the near future. True, the company is taking a more careful approach in its late-stage studies for nex-z moving forward.

It will exclude patients with certain liver issues (and several other health problems), for instance, while carefully monitoring signs of liver inflammation. However, the fact that nex-z could still be responsible for the patient's death is a bit worrying. Gene editing medicines already have a hard time ramping up commercial efforts because they are usually costly and complex to administer, making it challenging for third-party payers to adopt them. A lingering safety issue won't make anything easier for the company.

That's before we throw in the usual potential clinical and regulatory roadblocks Intellia Therapeutics could run into that would sink its stock price. True, the company does have things going its way, such as its partnership with biotech giant Regeneron to develop nex-z. Also, there are hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide with transthyretin amyloidosis, and unlike current medicines, nex-z would be a one-and-done treatment for the disease.

These are some reasons Intellia Therapeutics could be a promising biotech. However, given the significant risks, only investors comfortable with heightened volatility should consider the stock.

Buying This 1 Biotech Stock Now Could Help Make You a Multimillionaire Retiree stocknewsapi
VRTX
Everyone should save money for retirement, since programs such as Social Security aren't meant to replace workers' entire income and face potential cuts. Building a big nest egg for your post-work life by buying stocks is very possible, but it requires patience, investing in the right companies, and a disciplined buy-and-hold approach.

Which stocks should you consider that could help you grow your wealth to several million dollars by the time you retire (assuming a 30-year investment horizon)? Let's consider one biotech company that's worth a second look: Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX 0.86%).

Image source: Getty Images.

Why Vertex can pull it off Now, assuming an initial investment of $100,000, it would take a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5% to grow it to $2 million in 30 years. Maintaining a CAGR of that size over three decades is no easy feat, but buying a stock like Vertex Pharmaceuticals, which has excellent prospects, is a good start.

Consider the company's commercial opportunity over the next 13 years or so. Vertex dominates the market for drugs treating a rare disease called cystic fibrosis (CF), which causes thick mucus to build up in the lungs and disrupts breathing.

The biotech company's most important products in this niche, Trikafta and Alyftrek, will lose patent exclusivity in 2037 and 2039, respectively. True, CF is a rare disease with only about 112,000 patients in the geographies Vertex targets. However, those patients are now living longer, partly thanks to the company's breakthroughs, and they typically take medicine for their entire lives, so they remain in Vertex's ecosystem. And there are still quite a few patients Vertex can target through new approvals and label expansions.

Today's Change

-0.86

%) $

-3.97

Current Price

456.85

Before the sun sets on Vertex's vast CF opportunity, it will launch several new products that should drive growth beyond the next 13 years. Its newest non-CF approvals -- Journavx for acute pain and Casgevy, a gene-editing medicine for beta-thalassemia and sickle cell disease -- should slowly ramp up their sales and contribute somewhat to its financial results.

The company has several late-stage candidates targeting diseases with few or no treatment options. Vertex's zimislecel could help restore the ability of Type 1 diabetes patients to make their own insulin, while inaxaplin for APOL-1-mediated kidney disease could be the first approved medicine to target the underlying causes of this disease.

Beyond any single product, Vertex Pharmaceuticals has shown itself to be an incredibly innovative company with a management team that's planning far ahead and addressing potential challenges -- like patent cliffs and too much exposure to its CF franchise -- early enough. That makes the stock an excellent candidate to perform well over the long run.

The strategy to adopt Although Vertex looks like a great long-term bet, it wouldn't be wise to invest your entire starting capital in this single company. With $100,000 (or whatever amount you have), you should buy many stocks across various industries, including Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and probably add an exchange-traded fund or two to track the performance of major indexes. You should also make sure, if you can, to increase your holdings or buy entirely new stocks fairly regularly, while staying put when equities experience significant downturns.

It's that kind of disciplined, patient strategy that can help turn you into a multimillionaire by the time you retire. Investing in a stock like Vertex Pharmaceuticals is just part of the package.

Dyne Therapeutics Announces New Positive Cardiopulmonary Results from DELIVER Trial of Z-Rostudirsen in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) stocknewsapi
DYN
March 08, 2026 18:00 ET  | Source: Dyne Therapeutics, Inc.

- New analyses out to 24-months showed improvement in heart and lung function compared to expected declines in DMD natural history -

- Data expand on previously reported results demonstrating that z-rostudirsen treatment led to sustained functional improvement across multiple clinical measures -

WALTHAM, Mass., March 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DYN), a clinical-stage company focused on delivering functional improvement for people living with genetically driven neuromuscular diseases, today announced additional positive data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 DELIVER clinical trial of zeleciment rostudirsen (z-rostudirsen, also known as DYNE-251), in individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) amenable to exon 51 skipping. These data are being presented in a late-breaking poster presentation at the 2026 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Clinical & Scientific Conference being held March 8-11, 2026, in Orlando, FL, which is available in the Scientific Publications & Presentations section of Dyne’s website along with all of Dyne’s other posters being presented at the conference.

“This week we are presenting additional analyses of 24-month data from the DELIVER trial showing the breadth of potential benefits z-rostudirsen may bring to individuals with exon 51 skip amenable DMD beyond the previously reported unprecedented improvements in muscle function,” said Doug Kerr, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer of Dyne. “Cardiopulmonary issues are a key area of concern in DMD, so we are particularly encouraged by new analyses showing improvement in both heart and lung function out to 24 months. We attribute these results to the differentiated capabilities of our FORCE platform to deliver therapeutics to a broad range of muscles, including the heart, trunk and diaphragm, as well as the CNS.”

Dyne announced the results of new analyses of cardiac and pulmonary function amongst all DELIVER participants who were randomized to z-rostudirsen treatment at baseline (any dose1) and for whom cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and/or pulmonary function data were available.

Improvement from baseline in lung function, as measured by Forced Vital Capacity Percent Predicted (FVC%p), was observed through 24 months, as compared to the expected decline estimated in published natural history data2-4.Improvement from baseline was observed through 24 months in circumferential strain, an early signal of cardiac performance, as compared to the expected worsening estimated in published natural history data5,6.Improvement from baseline in left ventricular ejection fraction, a measure of how well the heart is pumping, was observed at 24 months, in contrast with the expected decline estimated in published natural history data5,6.In previously reported safety and tolerability data from 86 total participants enrolled in the DELIVER trial and followed for up to 36 months, z-rostudirsen demonstrated a favorable safety profile7, and most related treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild or moderate. The most commonly reported related TEAEs were pyrexia (fever) and headache. No related serious TEAEs were observed in the REC. These data will be presented in a poster titled “Zeleciment rostudirsen led to trends in long-term improvement in clinical outcomes including cardiopulmonary function: Additional data from DELIVER” (poster # 476 LBT).

About the DELIVER Trial
DELIVER is a global, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, Phase 1/2 clinical trial that evaluated the safety, tolerability and efficacy (as measured by both biomarker and functional improvement) of zeleciment rostudirsen (z-rostudirsen, also known as DYNE-251) in individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who have mutations in the DMD gene that are amenable to exon 51 skipping. The multiple ascending dose (MAD) portion of the study resulted in the selection of a registrational dose and regimen of 20 mg/kg of z-rostudirsen administered every four weeks. The placebo-controlled portion of the registrational expansion cohort (REC) to support a potential regulatory submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval has been completed. The primary endpoint for this cohort was the change from baseline in dystrophin protein levels as measured by Western blot at 6 months. Participants from the MAD and REC portions had the option to enroll in the open-label extension and long-term extension portions of the study. For more information on the DELIVER trial, visit clinicaltrials.gov and euclinicaltrials.eu.

About zeleciment rostudirsen (z-rostudirsen, also known as DYNE-251)
Z-rostudirsen is an investigational therapeutic being evaluated in the Phase 1/2 global DELIVER clinical trial for individuals with DMD who have mutations in the DMD gene that are amenable to exon 51 skipping. Z-rostudirsen consists of a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) conjugated to an antigen-binding fragment (Fab) that binds to the transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1). It is designed to enable the production of near full-length dystrophin in muscle and the central nervous system (CNS) to provide functional improvement. Z-rostudirsen has received Breakthrough Therapy, Fast Track and Rare Pediatric Disease designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as Orphan Drug designation from the FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in Japan for the treatment of individuals with DMD amenable to exon 51 skipping.

In addition to z-rostudirsen, Dyne is building a DMD franchise and has preclinical programs targeting other exons, including DYNE-253, DYNE-245, DYNE-244 and DYNE-255.

About Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare X-linked progressive neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the DMD gene. These mutations result in a complete or near-complete absence of dystrophin, a protein critical for maintaining muscle structure and function. DMD is the most common form of childhood-onset muscular dystrophy, affecting approximately 12,000 individuals in the U.S. and 16,000 in the EU. Symptoms typically emerge between ages 3 and 5, beginning with muscle weakness in the upper arms, thighs and pelvic region, and progressively impacting the lower limbs, forearms, neck and trunk. In addition to physical decline, individuals may experience cognitive impairment and neuropsychiatric challenges such as intellectual disabilities, learning difficulties and behavioral disorders. Despite existing therapies, there remains a significant unmet need for new treatment options that deliver functional improvement.

About Dyne Therapeutics
Dyne Therapeutics is focused on delivering functional improvement for people living with genetically driven neuromuscular diseases. We are developing therapeutics that target muscle and the central nervous system (CNS) to address the root cause of disease. The company is advancing clinical programs for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) as well as preclinical programs for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), Pompe disease and multiple DMD mutations. At Dyne, we are on a mission to deliver functional improvement for individuals, families and communities. Learn more at https://www.dyne-tx.com/, and follow us on X, LinkedIn and Facebook.

VRNS
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 8, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNS) between February 4, 2025 and October 28, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important March 9, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Varonis common stock 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 Varonis class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50337 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 March 9, 2026. 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 made materially false and/or misleading statements and or failed to disclose that: (1) Varonis would not be able to maintain ARR projections while converting both its federal and non-federal existing on-prem customers to the software-as-a-service ("SaaS") alternative offering; (2) Varonis was not equipped to convince existing users of the benefits of converting to the SaaS offering or otherwise maintain these customers on its platform, resulting in significantly reduced ARR growth potential in the near-term; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Varonis' business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. 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.

Dyne Therapeutics Announces Initiation of Phase 3 HARMONIA Trial of Z-Basivarsen in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) stocknewsapi
DYN
March 08, 2026 18:01 ET  | Source: Dyne Therapeutics, Inc.

- HARMONIA trial will assess multi-system efficacy, safety and tolerability of z-basivarsen in DM1 -

- 48-week trial will enroll approximately 150 individuals, and first sites are now open for enrollment -

- Primary endpoint is the five times sit to stand (5xSTS) test; secondary and exploratory endpoints will assess muscle function, CNS manifestations, and patient- and clinician-reported outcomes -

- HARMONIA trial design and protocol aligned with FDA; trial intended to serve as confirmatory trial for traditional approval in the U.S. and support ex-U.S. marketing applications -

WALTHAM, Mass., March 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DYN), a clinical-stage company focused on delivering functional improvement for people living with genetically driven neuromuscular diseases, today announced the initiation of the Phase 3 HARMONIA trial of zeleciment basivarsen (z-basivarsen, also known as DYNE-101), in individuals with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). The design of the HARMONIA trial is being presented at the 2026 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Clinical & Scientific Conference on Wednesday, March 11, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. ET. A corresponding poster is also available in the Scientific Publications & Presentations section of Dyne’s website.

“We are proud to be contributing to key advances in myotonic dystrophy clinical research with the initiation of a field-defining Phase 3 study designed to demonstrate the broad potential benefits of z-basivarsen,” said Doug Kerr, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer of Dyne. “Building on the ongoing registrational expansion cohort of the Phase 1/2 ACHIEVE trial, which is utilizing myotonia, as measured by video hand opening time, as an early indicator of clinical benefit for potential U.S. Accelerated Approval, HARMONIA is a larger and longer-term study utilizing a clinically meaningful functional measure as the primary endpoint. HARMONIA was designed to reinforce the best-in-class potential of z-basivarsen based on the differentiated capabilities of our FORCE platform to deliver therapeutics to a broad range of muscle systems as well as the CNS.”

HARMONIA is a global, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, confirmatory Phase 3 trial designed to assess the multi-system efficacy, safety, and tolerability of z-basivarsen administered intravenously to individuals with DM1. The trial will enroll approximately 150 participants age 16 and older who will be randomized 1:1 to receive 6.8 mg/kg of z-basivarsen or placebo every eight weeks (Q8W). The first trial sites are activated and open to enrollment.

The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in the five times sit to stand (5xSTS) test at week 49. The 5xSTS test is a reliable and responsive measure that reflects key areas of DM1 impairment, including lower extremity strength, balance and trunk strength, which are critical to performing daily activities. Secondary endpoints include video hand opening time, quantitative muscle testing, the 10-Meter Walk/Run test, the Myotonic Dystrophy Health Index, and additional patient- and clinician-reported outcomes. The trial also includes a broad set of exploratory endpoints designed to assess multiple domains of DM1 central nervous system (CNS) impact. Following the 48-week double-blind placebo-controlled treatment period, patients will be eligible to enroll in a 24-week long-term extension.

Dyne has aligned with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the HARMONIA Phase 3 trial design and protocol. HARMONIA is intended to serve as a confirmatory trial to support conversion of Accelerated Approval to traditional approval in the U.S. and to support ex-U.S. marketing applications.

About the HARMONIA Trial
HARMONIA is a global, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of zeleciment basivarsen (z-basivarsen, also known as DYNE-101) in people living with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). The trial will enroll approximately 150 participants age 16 and older who will receive 6.8mg/kg of z-basivarsen or placebo once every eight weeks for 48 weeks, and participants who complete the placebo-controlled period may enter a long-term extension during which all will receive 6.8mg/kg of z-basivarsen every eight weeks for up to 24 additional weeks. The primary endpoint of HARMONIA is the change from baseline in the five times sit to stand (5xSTS) test at week 49. The 5xSTS test is a reliable and responsive measure that reflects key areas of DM1 impairment, including lower extremity strength, balance and trunk strength, which are critical to performing daily activities. Secondary endpoints include video hand opening time, quantitative muscle testing, the 10-Meter Walk/Run test, the Myotonic Dystrophy Health Index, and additional patient- and clinician-reported outcomes. The trial also includes a broad set of exploratory endpoints designed to assess multiple domains of DM1 central nervous system impact.

About zeleciment basivarsen (z-basivarsen, formerly known as DYNE-101)
Z-basivarsen is an investigational therapeutic being evaluated in the Phase 1/2 global ACHIEVE clinical trial for people living with DM1. Z-basivarsen consists of an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) conjugated to an antigen-binding fragment (Fab) that binds to the transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) to enable delivery to muscle and the central nervous system. It is designed to deliver functional improvement in individuals living with DM1 by reducing toxic nuclear DMPK RNA to release splicing proteins and allow normal mRNA processing. Z-basivarsen has been granted Breakthrough Therapy, Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as Orphan Drug designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in Japan for the treatment of DM1.

About Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a rare, progressive, genetic neuromuscular disease with high morbidity and early mortality. DM1 affects ~40,000 people in the U.S. and ~55,000 people in the EU. The severity of symptoms and rate of progression varies. Symptoms can begin at any point in an affected person’s life, depending on the DM1 subtype. Adult-onset DM1 symptoms typically appear between 20 to 40 years of age. DM1 is caused by mutations in the DMPK gene, leading to a widespread disruption of RNA splicing, known as spliceopathy, which drives the multi-system manifestations of the disease. People experience a broad spectrum of symptoms, including: muscle weakness throughout the body, myotonia or difficulty relaxing muscles, excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, dysregulated sleep, cognitive impairments, cardiac arrhythmias, respiratory issues and gastrointestinal dysfunction. Although the genetic cause of DM1 is well understood, there are currently no approved disease-modifying treatments for DM1.

About Dyne Therapeutics
Dyne Therapeutics is focused on delivering functional improvement for people living with genetically driven neuromuscular diseases. We are developing therapeutics that target muscle and the central nervous system (CNS) to address the root cause of disease. The company is advancing clinical programs for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) as well as preclinical programs for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), Pompe disease and multiple DMD mutations. At Dyne, we are on a mission to deliver functional improvement for individuals, families and communities. Learn more at https://www.dyne-tx.com/, and follow us on X, LinkedIn and Facebook.

Oil prices hit $100 per barrel as big Middle East producers cut output amid Iran war stocknewsapi
BNO DBO GUSH IEO OIH OIL PXJ UCO USO XOP
watch now

Crude oil prices surged above $100 per barrel on Sunday, after major Middle East producers cut output because the critical Strait of Hormuz remains closed due to the Iran war.

West Texas Intermediate jumped 14.33%, or $13.03, to $103.93 per barrel by 6:07 p.m. ET. Global benchmark Brent advanced 11.34%, or $10.51, to $103.20. U.S. crude oil surged about 35% last week in its biggest gain in futures trading history dating back to 1983.

Kuwait, the fifth-biggest producer in OPEC, announced precautionary cuts Saturday to its oil production and refinery output due to "Iranian threats against safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz." The state-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corporation did not detail the size of the cuts.

Output in Iraq, the second-biggest OPEC producer, has effectively collapsed. Production from its three main southern oilfields has fallen 70% to 1.3 million barrels per day, three industry officials told Reuters Sunday. Those fields produced 4.3 million bpd before Iran war.

And the United Arab Emirates, the third-biggest producer in OPEC, said Saturday that it is "carefully managing offshore production levels to address storage requirements." The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said its onshore operations are continuing normally.

Gulf Arab states are cutting production because they are running out of storage space, as oil barrels pile up with nowhere to go due to the closure of the Strait. Tankers are unwilling transit the narrow waterway because they are worried Iran will attack them. About 20% of the world's oil consumption is exported through the Strait.

The war showed little signs of easing despite Trump's claim it was "already won" with Iran naming Ayatollah Khamenei's son, Mojtaba, as its new supreme leader, according to reports.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Sunday traffic through the Strait will resume after the U.S. has destroyed Iran's ability to threaten tankers.

"We're not loo long away before you'll see more regular resumption of ship traffic through the Straits of Hormuz," Wright told CNN in an interview. "We're nowhere near normal traffic right now. That will take some time. But again, worst case that's a few weeks, that's not months."

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.

According to the lawsuit, defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning its Phase 3 PALISADE-3 trial study of fasedienol. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

ARDT
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 8, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Ardent Health, Inc. (NYSE: ARDT) between July 18, 2024 and November 12, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important March 9, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Ardent Health 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 Ardent Health class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50392 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 March 9, 2026. 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 handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases.

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 made misrepresentations regarding Ardent Health's accounts receivable. Defendants publicly reported Ardent Health's accounts receivable on a quarterly basis. They further stated that Ardent Health employed an active monitoring process to determine the collectability of its accounts receivable, and that this process included "detailed reviews of historical collections" as a "primary source of information." Further, defendants represented that Ardent Health considered "trends in federal and state governmental healthcare coverage" and that its "management determines [when an] account is uncollectible, at which time the account is written off." When defendants began to reveal increased claim denials by third-party payors, they downplayed the issue, stating that the increased payor denials were "turning [] more into a slow pay versus not getting paid," and did not write-off the uncollectible accounts. In addition, defendants represented that Ardent Health maintained professional malpractice liability insurance in amounts "sufficient to cover claims arising out of [its] operations[.]" In truth, Ardent Health did not primarily rely on "detailed reviews of historical collections" in determining collectability of accounts receivable nor did "management determine[] [when an] account is uncollectible." Instead, Ardent Health's accounts receivable framework "utilized a 180-day cliff at which time an account became fully reserved." This allowed Ardent Health to report higher amounts of accounts receivable during the Class Period, and delay recognizing losses on uncollectable accounts. And Ardent Health did not even maintain professional malpractice liability insurance in amounts "sufficient to cover claims arising out of [its] operations[.]" In truth, Ardent Health's professional liability reserves were insufficient to cover "significant social inflationary pressure in medical malpractice cases the past several years," which had been an "increasing dynamic year-over-year" in Ardent Health's New Mexico market. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

FLOKI Price Prediction: Recovery Targets $0.000048 by April 2026 cryptonews
FLOKI
Darius Baruo Mar 08, 2026 19:47

FLOKI shows oversold conditions at $0.00002774 with RSI at 39.72. Technical analysis suggests potential recovery to $0.000048-$0.000050 range within weeks as meme coin finds support.

FLOKI Price Prediction Summary • Short-term target (1 week): $0.000032 • Medium-term forecast (1 month): $0.000048-$0.000050 range
• Bullish breakout level: $0.000055 • Critical support: $0.000025

What Crypto Analysts Are Saying About Floki While specific analyst predictions from major KOLs are limited in the current market cycle, recent technical analysis from cryptocurrency researchers provides insight into FLOKI's potential trajectory.

Felix Pinkston noted in early March 2026 that "FLOKI trades at $0.00002779 with RSI at 37.14 suggesting oversold bounce potential. Technical analysis points to $0.000048-$0.000050 recovery target within weeks." This aligns with current technical conditions showing similar oversold readings.

Caroline Bishop highlighted in late February that "FLOKI shows oversold conditions at $0.00002676 with RSI at 35.10," indicating potential for a technical rebound. With current RSI readings at 39.72, the oversold bounce thesis remains relevant for this FLOKI price prediction.

According to on-chain data, FLOKI's trading volume has maintained stability at $1.96 million over the past 24 hours, suggesting sustained interest despite recent price consolidation.

FLOKI Technical Analysis Breakdown The current FLOKI price prediction is heavily influenced by key technical indicators showing mixed but improving signals. At the current price of $0.00002774, FLOKI has shown a modest 0.33% gain in the past 24 hours, indicating potential stabilization after recent volatility.

The RSI reading of 39.72 places FLOKI in neutral territory with a slight oversold bias, historically a favorable condition for meme coin recoveries. This supports the bullish elements of our Floki forecast, as RSI levels below 40 often precede upward price movements in cryptocurrency markets.

The MACD histogram shows bearish momentum at 0.0000, though this flat reading suggests the selling pressure may be exhausting. Stochastic indicators with %K at 23.05 and %D at 18.44 confirm oversold conditions, supporting the recovery thesis in this FLOKI price prediction.

Bollinger Band positioning at 0.24 indicates FLOKI is trading closer to the lower band, typically signaling oversold conditions and potential for mean reversion toward the middle band.

Floki Price Targets: Bull vs Bear Case Bullish Scenario The optimistic Floki forecast targets the $0.000048-$0.000050 range based on technical resistance levels and historical recovery patterns. This represents an 80% upside from current levels and aligns with analyst projections from early March.

Key bullish catalysts include RSI recovery above 50, MACD histogram turning positive, and a break above the 20-day moving average. Volume expansion above the current $1.96 million daily average would provide additional confirmation for this FLOKI price prediction.

A breakout above $0.000055 could target the next resistance zone around $0.000065, representing the more aggressive bull case scenario.

Bearish Scenario The downside risk in this Floki forecast centers around the critical support level at $0.000025. A break below this level could trigger additional selling pressure, potentially targeting $0.000020 or lower.

Risk factors include continued MACD bearish divergence, failure to reclaim the middle Bollinger Band, and broader cryptocurrency market weakness. The meme coin sector's volatility adds additional downside risk to any FLOKI price prediction.

Should You Buy FLOKI? Entry Strategy Based on current technical analysis, potential entry points for FLOKI include the current level around $0.000027-$0.000028, with a more conservative entry on any dip toward $0.000025 support.

A stop-loss below $0.000022 would limit downside risk while allowing for normal price fluctuations. Given the volatile nature of meme coins, position sizing should remain conservative, with FLOKI representing no more than 1-2% of a diversified cryptocurrency portfolio.

Risk management is crucial given that this FLOKI price prediction operates in a highly speculative market segment prone to sudden sentiment shifts.

Conclusion This FLOKI price prediction suggests a cautiously optimistic outlook with potential for recovery to the $0.000048-$0.000050 range over the coming weeks. The combination of oversold technical conditions and analyst projections supports this Floki forecast, though traders should remain aware of the inherent volatility in meme coin markets.

The technical setup appears favorable for a bounce, but confirmation through increased volume and RSI improvement above 50 would strengthen the bullish case. As with all cryptocurrency price predictions, market conditions can change rapidly, and this analysis should not be considered financial advice.

CRV Price Prediction: Targets $0.27 by End of March as Technical Recovery Emerges cryptonews
CRV
Alvin Lang Mar 08, 2026 19:53

Curve (CRV) shows signs of technical recovery at $0.24 with analyst targets of $0.26-$0.27. Neutral RSI and key support levels suggest potential 12% upside within weeks.

Curve DAO Token (CRV) is showing early signs of technical stabilization after recent market volatility, with the token currently trading at $0.24 following a 2.67% daily gain. Technical indicators suggest a potential recovery phase may be emerging, though momentum remains cautiously neutral.

CRV Price Prediction Summary • Short-term target (1 week): $0.25-$0.26
• Medium-term forecast (1 month): $0.26-$0.27 range
• Bullish breakout level: $0.27
• Critical support: $0.23

What Crypto Analysts Are Saying About Curve Recent analyst commentary from early March 2026 suggests measured optimism for CRV's technical outlook. Darius Baruo noted that "CRV trades at $0.25 with neutral RSI signaling potential recovery. Technical analysis suggests Curve could target $0.27 resistance if key support at $0.24 holds firm in coming weeks," setting a target of $0.27.

Similarly, Lawrence Jengar observed that "Curve (CRV) trades at $0.24 with neutral RSI signaling potential recovery. Technical analysis suggests CRV could target $0.27 resistance within two weeks if key support levels hold firm," also targeting the $0.27 level.

Luisa Crawford provided a slightly more conservative Curve forecast, suggesting "CRV trades at $0.24 with neutral RSI at 43.22. Technical analysis suggests potential test of $0.26 resistance level, though bearish MACD signals caution for Curve investors," with a $0.26 target.

CRV Technical Analysis Breakdown The current technical picture for CRV presents a mixed but potentially constructive setup. The RSI reading of 42.68 sits firmly in neutral territory, suggesting the token is neither oversold nor overbought—creating room for upward movement if buying pressure emerges.

The MACD configuration shows a reading of -0.0086 with a matching signal line, resulting in a histogram of 0.0000. This indicates bearish momentum has stalled and may be preparing for a potential reversal, though confirmation is needed.

CRV's position within the Bollinger Bands at 0.37 (where 0 represents the lower band and 1 the upper band) suggests the token is trading in the lower portion of its recent range but has room to move toward the upper band at $0.26.

Key moving averages reveal the current consolidation phase, with CRV trading at $0.24—in line with both the 20-day SMA ($0.24) and EMA 12 ($0.24). However, the token remains below the 7-day SMA of $0.25, indicating short-term weakness that needs to be overcome for bullish confirmation.

Curve Price Targets: Bull vs Bear Case Bullish Scenario In the bullish scenario for this CRV price prediction, the token would need to reclaim the $0.25 level (strong resistance) and 7-day moving average. A successful break above this level could target the Bollinger Band upper boundary at $0.26, followed by the analyst consensus target of $0.27.

Technical confirmation would come from RSI moving above 50, MACD histogram turning positive, and sustained volume above the current 24-hour average of $4.6 million. The 12% upside potential to $0.27 represents a reasonable near-term target given current technical positioning.

Bearish Scenario The bearish case would unfold if CRV fails to hold current support levels around $0.23. A breakdown below this level could target the Bollinger Band lower boundary at $0.22, representing approximately 8% downside from current levels.

Risk factors include the broader cryptocurrency market sentiment, potential selling pressure from long-term holders, and the token's position significantly below longer-term moving averages like the 50-day SMA at $0.28 and 200-day SMA at $0.48.

Should You Buy CRV? Entry Strategy Based on current technical analysis, potential entry points for CRV include:

Conservative Entry: Wait for a confirmed break above $0.25 with increased volume, targeting $0.26-$0.27 with a stop-loss at $0.23.

Aggressive Entry: Current levels around $0.24 offer reasonable risk-reward, with the same upside targets but requiring a tighter stop-loss at $0.225 to manage downside risk.

The daily ATR of $0.02 suggests moderate volatility, allowing for strategic position sizing while maintaining appropriate risk management protocols.

Conclusion This CRV price prediction suggests a cautiously optimistic outlook for Curve DAO Token over the coming weeks. While technical indicators remain neutral, the convergence of analyst targets around $0.26-$0.27 and supportive chart patterns indicate potential for a 8-12% recovery from current levels.

The Curve forecast depends heavily on broader market conditions and CRV's ability to maintain support above $0.23. Traders should monitor volume patterns and RSI behavior for confirmation of the anticipated recovery phase.

INJ Price Prediction: Targets $3.60 Recovery Despite Technical Weakness cryptonews
INJ
Luisa Crawford Mar 08, 2026 19:59

INJ Price Prediction Summary • Short-term target (1 week): $3.22 • Medium-term forecast (1 month): $3.44-$3.60 range • Bullish breakout level: $2.93 • Critical support: $2.74 What Crypto Anal...

INJ Price Prediction Summary • Short-term target (1 week): $3.22 • Medium-term forecast (1 month): $3.44-$3.60 range
• Bullish breakout level: $2.93 • Critical support: $2.74

What Crypto Analysts Are Saying About Injective Recent analyst coverage from early March provides insight into Injective's potential trajectory. Caroline Bishop projected on March 3rd that "Injective (INJ) trades at $3.03 with neutral RSI and technical consolidation. Analysts project $3.44-$3.60 near-term recovery as INJ approaches key resistance levels."

Rongchai Wang offered a more optimistic outlook on March 4th, stating "INJ trades at $3.10 with neutral RSI at 43.49. Analysts project $3.60-$6.50 recovery potential as Injective approaches key resistance breakout at $3.22."

Tony Kim focused on short-term bounce potential, noting "INJ shows oversold bounce potential from $3.06 support, targeting $3.54 resistance with neutral RSI at 40.89 suggesting possible short-term recovery ahead."

However, these predictions were made when INJ was trading above $3.00, and the token has since declined to $2.84, suggesting market conditions have deteriorated since these forecasts were issued.

INJ Technical Analysis Breakdown The current technical picture for Injective presents mixed signals with bearish undertones. Trading at $2.84, INJ sits well below all major moving averages, with the 7-day SMA at $2.98 and 20-day SMA at $3.15 acting as immediate resistance barriers.

The RSI reading of 37.44 indicates neutral territory with oversold conditions approaching, which could signal a potential bounce. However, the MACD histogram at 0.0000 shows bearish momentum remains intact, while the extremely low Stochastic readings (%K at 6.02, %D at 4.82) suggest the token is in oversold territory.

Bollinger Band analysis reveals INJ trading near the lower band support at $2.70, with a %B position of 0.1524 indicating the price is much closer to the lower band than the upper band at $3.61. This positioning often precedes either a bounce or a breakdown.

The daily ATR of $0.25 indicates moderate volatility, while the 24-hour trading range of $2.78-$2.88 shows relatively tight price action within a $0.10 range.

Injective Price Targets: Bull vs Bear Case Bullish Scenario For an INJ price prediction to turn bullish, the token needs to reclaim the $2.93 strong resistance level, which would confirm a break above the recent trading range. Success here could target the immediate resistance at $3.15 (20-day SMA), followed by the analyst-projected $3.22 breakout level mentioned by Wang.

A sustained move above $3.22 could validate the more optimistic Injective forecast targeting $3.44-$3.60, aligning with Bishop's projections. The ultimate bullish target of $6.50 would require significant fundamental catalysts and broader market support.

Bearish Scenario The bearish case for this INJ price prediction centers on the failure to hold current support levels. A break below the immediate support at $2.79 could accelerate selling toward the strong support at $2.74.

Given the positioning near the lower Bollinger Band at $2.70, a breakdown could see INJ testing this technical floor. Further deterioration could target the psychologically important $2.50 level, representing a significant decline from current analyst price targets.

Should You Buy INJ? Entry Strategy Based on current technicals, aggressive buyers might consider accumulating near the $2.74-$2.79 support zone, with a tight stop-loss below $2.70 to limit downside risk. Conservative investors should wait for a clear break and hold above $2.93 before considering entry.

For those following the analyst Injective forecast, scaling into positions between $2.70-$2.85 could provide favorable risk-reward ratios if the $3.44-$3.60 targets materialize. However, position sizing should reflect the high-risk nature of cryptocurrency investments.

A disciplined approach would involve taking partial profits at $3.15 and $3.44 levels while maintaining core positions for the higher targets if momentum continues.

Conclusion This INJ price prediction suggests cautious optimism despite current technical weakness. While recent analyst forecasts project recovery to $3.44-$6.50, the deterioration from $3.10 to $2.84 indicates these targets may take longer to achieve than initially anticipated.

The oversold technical conditions provide potential for a near-term bounce, but sustainable recovery requires clearing multiple resistance levels. Investors should approach with appropriate risk management and recognize that cryptocurrency price predictions carry inherent uncertainty.

ALGO Price Prediction: Targets $0.095-$0.16 Recovery by March End cryptonews
ALGO
Rebeca Moen Mar 08, 2026 20:10

Algorand (ALGO) trades at $0.08281 with analysts targeting $0.095-$0.16 recovery from oversold RSI conditions. Technical bounce expected from current support levels within weeks.

ALGO Price Prediction Summary • Short-term target (1 week): $0.085-$0.090
• Medium-term forecast (1 month): $0.095-$0.16 range
• Bullish breakout level: $0.09 (SMA 20 resistance) • Critical support: $0.08 (current Bollinger Band lower support)

What Crypto Analysts Are Saying About Algorand Recent analyst coverage suggests cautious optimism for Algorand's price trajectory. Zach Anderson noted on March 3, 2026: "Algorand (ALGO) shows recovery potential from $0.09 oversold levels with analysts targeting $0.095-$0.16 range as RSI neutral at 40.38 suggests possible technical bounce ahead."

Ted Hisokawa echoed similar sentiment on March 1, stating: "Algorand (ALGO) trades at $0.087 with technical analysts targeting $0.095-$0.16 recovery from oversold conditions as RSI signals potential bounce from key support levels."

Both analysts converge on the $0.095-$0.16 target range, suggesting institutional consensus around Algorand's near-term recovery potential from current oversold conditions.

ALGO Technical Analysis Breakdown Algorand's technical picture presents a mixed but potentially constructive setup. The RSI reading of 37.91 positions ALGO in neutral territory, having recently emerged from oversold conditions below 30. This RSI level historically precedes technical bounces in ALGO's price action.

The MACD histogram sits at 0.0000, indicating bearish momentum is potentially exhausting. While the MACD signal line remains negative at -0.0040, the convergence toward zero suggests diminishing selling pressure.

Algorand's position within the Bollinger Bands is particularly noteworthy. With a %B reading of 0.10, ALGO trades near the lower band at $0.08, while the middle band (20-period SMA) sits at $0.09. This compression typically precedes volatility expansion, with the current setup favoring upside resolution given oversold conditions.

The moving average structure reveals key resistance levels, with the 7-period and 20-period SMAs both at $0.09, creating a confluence resistance zone. The 50-period SMA at $0.10 represents secondary resistance, while the 200-period SMA at $0.16 aligns with analysts' upper price targets.

Algorand Price Targets: Bull vs Bear Case Bullish Scenario The primary ALGO price prediction targets $0.095-$0.10 as initial resistance, representing the convergence of multiple moving averages. A break above this zone opens the path to $0.16, coinciding with the 200-period SMA and analyst price targets.

Technical confirmation would require RSI moving above 50 and MACD histogram turning positive. Volume expansion above the recent $1.34 million daily average would signal institutional accumulation supporting the Algorand forecast.

The bullish case gains strength from ALGO's position near Bollinger Band support, historically a reliable bounce level. The stochastic indicators at %K 8.15 and %D 6.52 show extreme oversold conditions, creating asymmetric risk-reward favoring upside.

Bearish Scenario Downside risks for this ALGO price prediction center on a break below the $0.08 support confluence. Such a move would target the next significant support near $0.075, representing a 10% decline from current levels.

The bearish case would strengthen if RSI fails to hold above 30 or if MACD histogram extends deeper into negative territory. Additionally, failure to reclaim the $0.09 resistance within two weeks would suggest continued downtrend continuation.

Risk factors include broader cryptocurrency market weakness and potential regulatory headwinds affecting smart contract platforms like Algorand.

Should You Buy ALGO? Entry Strategy Current levels present an attractive entry opportunity for the bullish Algorand forecast. Consider dollar-cost averaging between $0.081-$0.085, with the lower Bollinger Band providing technical support.

Stop-loss placement below $0.078 limits downside risk to approximately 6% while maintaining exposure to the analysts' $0.095-$0.16 upside targets. This creates a favorable 2:1 risk-reward ratio supporting the entry thesis.

For aggressive traders, a breakout strategy above $0.09 with confirmation volume could target the $0.10-$0.16 range more rapidly. Conservative investors might await RSI confirmation above 45 before establishing positions.

Risk management remains crucial given ALGO's recent volatility. Position sizing should reflect individual risk tolerance, with this ALGO price prediction carrying moderate conviction given mixed technical signals.

Conclusion The ALGO price prediction suggests cautious optimism with targets of $0.095-$0.16 representing realistic upside potential over the next 3-4 weeks. Technical indicators support a bounce from current oversold levels, while analyst consensus reinforces the bullish Algorand forecast.

However, confirmation through improved momentum indicators and volume expansion remains necessary. The current setup offers favorable risk-reward for patient investors willing to navigate near-term volatility.

PEPE Price Prediction: Technical Analysis Points to Potential Recovery Despite Current Bearish Momentum cryptonews
PEPE
Ted Hisokawa Mar 08, 2026 20:16

PEPE shows oversold conditions with RSI at 33.36 and trading near lower Bollinger Band support. Technical indicators suggest potential bounce from current levels despite recent 2.45% decline.

PEPE Price Prediction Summary • Short-term target (1 week): Limited upside potential due to bearish momentum • Medium-term forecast (1 month): $0.0000070-$0.0000072 range per recent analysis • Bullish breakout level: Above current resistance zones • Critical support: Current lower Bollinger Band levels

What Crypto Analysts Are Saying About Pepe While specific analyst predictions from key opinion leaders are limited in recent trading sessions, available forecasts provide some insight into PEPE's potential trajectory. According to MEXC News analysis from January 30, 2026, "PEPE price prediction shows potential 30-35% rally to $0.0000070-$0.0000072 range by month-end, despite current bearish momentum and oversold technical conditions."

More recently, Blockchain.News noted on March 7, 2026, that "PEPE shows oversold signals with RSI at 36.23 and trading near lower Bollinger Band. Technical analysis suggests potential bounce from current support levels."

On-chain data and technical metrics continue to play a crucial role in PEPE price prediction models, with platforms like CryptoQuant and Glassnode providing valuable insights into meme coin market dynamics.

PEPE Technical Analysis Breakdown Current technical indicators paint a mixed picture for Pepe, with several oversold signals emerging alongside bearish momentum patterns.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 33.36, placing PEPE in neutral territory but approaching oversold conditions. This RSI reading suggests the recent selling pressure may be approaching exhaustion, potentially setting up for a technical bounce.

PEPE's MACD histogram shows 0.0000, indicating bearish momentum continues to dominate price action. The convergence of MACD lines suggests indecision in the market, with neither bulls nor bears establishing clear control.

Bollinger Band analysis reveals PEPE trading at a %B position of 0.0776, meaning the token is positioned very close to the lower Bollinger Band. This positioning often indicates oversold conditions and potential support levels.

The Stochastic oscillator readings show %K at 3.79 and %D at 3.03, both in deeply oversold territory. These extreme readings historically precede short-term bounces in volatile assets like meme coins.

Trading volume on Binance spot markets reached $20,295,923 in the past 24 hours, indicating maintained interest despite the 2.45% price decline.

Pepe Price Targets: Bull vs Bear Case Bullish Scenario The bullish case for PEPE hinges on the current oversold technical conditions translating into a meaningful recovery. Based on the MEXC analysis, a successful bounce could target the $0.0000070-$0.0000072 range, representing a potential 30-35% upside from oversold levels.

Key technical confirmation would come from RSI breaking above 40, indicating momentum shift from oversold conditions. Additionally, MACD histogram turning positive would signal strengthening bullish momentum.

The Pepe forecast becomes more optimistic if trading volume increases during any recovery attempt, suggesting genuine buying interest rather than short-covering.

Bearish Scenario The bearish scenario remains viable given the current MACD bearish momentum and recent price decline. Failure to hold lower Bollinger Band support could trigger additional selling pressure.

Risk factors include broader meme coin market weakness and continued crypto market uncertainty. A break below current support levels could target deeper oversold readings and extended consolidation periods.

The negative MACD histogram suggests sellers may still have control, particularly if broader market conditions deteriorate.

Should You Buy PEPE? Entry Strategy Given the current technical setup, potential entry strategies should focus on oversold bounce plays while maintaining strict risk management.

Conservative entry points would wait for RSI to confirm above 40 and initial MACD histogram improvement. This approach reduces the risk of catching a falling knife while still capitalizing on oversold conditions.

Aggressive traders might consider current levels given the extreme oversold readings, but should implement tight stop-losses below recent support zones to limit downside exposure.

Position sizing should reflect PEPE's high volatility profile, with most analysts recommending no more than 1-3% portfolio allocation to speculative meme coin positions.

Conclusion The PEPE price prediction outlook remains cautiously optimistic based on current oversold technical conditions, despite ongoing bearish momentum. While the immediate trend shows weakness with the 2.45% decline, multiple oversold indicators suggest potential for a technical bounce.

The medium-term Pepe forecast aligns with analyst projections targeting the $0.0000070-$0.0000072 range, though this depends heavily on broader market conditions and sustained buying interest. Traders should monitor RSI recovery above 40 and MACD histogram improvement as key confirmation signals.

WIF Price Prediction: Targets $0.23 Breakout by End of March cryptonews
WIF
Luisa Crawford Mar 08, 2026 20:22

Dogwifhat (WIF) trades at $0.18 with bearish momentum but approaching oversold levels. Technical analysis suggests potential bounce to $0.23 resistance if support at $0.17 holds through March.

WIF Price Prediction Summary • Short-term target (1 week): $0.19-$0.21 • Medium-term forecast (1 month): $0.17-$0.23 range
• Bullish breakout level: $0.23 (Bollinger upper band) • Critical support: $0.17

What Crypto Analysts Are Saying About dogwifhat While specific analyst predictions are limited for recent timeframes, available forecasting data provides mixed signals for WIF's trajectory. According to CoinCodex projections, dogwifhat price prediction extends to 2031 with estimates ranging between $0.25 on the lower end and $0.75 on the higher end, suggesting long-term bullish sentiment despite current consolidation.

BitScreener's analysis indicates that WIF could potentially reach $4.90 during favorable market conditions in 2026, though it also warns of downside risk to $0.15 if momentum deteriorates. These divergent forecasts highlight the volatility inherent in meme coin price movements.

On-chain data suggests that WIF's current positioning near key technical levels makes it susceptible to significant directional moves based on broader market sentiment and volume dynamics.

WIF Technical Analysis Breakdown The current technical picture for dogwifhat reveals mixed signals with a slight bearish bias. Trading at $0.18, WIF sits precisely at both its pivot point and near the lower Bollinger Band, indicating potential oversold conditions.

The RSI reading of 35.29 places WIF in neutral territory but approaching oversold levels, which historically has provided buying opportunities for the token. However, the MACD histogram at 0.0000 confirms bearish momentum remains intact, with both MACD (-0.0160) and signal lines (-0.0160) in negative territory.

Moving averages present a concerning picture, with all timeframes trading above current price levels. The SMA 7 at $0.20, SMA 20 at $0.21, and SMA 50 at $0.25 create a series of resistance levels that WIF must overcome for any sustained rally. Most notably, the SMA 200 at $0.48 remains significantly elevated, indicating the longer-term downtrend remains intact.

The Bollinger Band position of 0.04 places WIF very close to the lower band support at $0.18, suggesting either a potential bounce or further breakdown below this critical level.

dogwifhat Price Targets: Bull vs Bear Case Bullish Scenario If WIF can maintain support above $0.17, the path higher targets the immediate resistance at $0.19, followed by the SMA 7 level at $0.20. A break above this level could trigger momentum toward the SMA 20 at $0.21 and ultimately test the Bollinger upper band at $0.23.

The dogwifhat forecast becomes particularly bullish if volume increases above the current $4.46 million daily average, as this would signal renewed institutional or retail interest. A successful break above $0.23 could open the door for a test of the SMA 50 at $0.25.

Key confirmation signals include RSI breaking above 50 and MACD histogram turning positive, which would indicate momentum shifting from bearish to bullish.

Bearish Scenario Failure to hold the $0.17 support level exposes WIF to further downside toward the strong support zone. Given the current positioning near the lower Bollinger Band, a breakdown could accelerate selling pressure.

The primary risk factors include continued low trading volume, persistent MACD bearish divergence, and the broader meme coin sector weakness. If Bitcoin or broader crypto markets experience selling pressure, WIF could face additional headwinds given its correlation with risk-on sentiment.

A break below $0.17 on significant volume would likely trigger stop-losses and could lead to a retest of previous lows, potentially targeting the $0.15 level suggested in longer-term bearish scenarios.

Should You Buy WIF? Entry Strategy For traders considering WIF positions, the current technical setup offers both opportunity and risk. Conservative buyers might wait for a decisive break above $0.19 with accompanying volume before entering, targeting the $0.21-$0.23 resistance zone.

More aggressive traders could consider dollar-cost averaging near current levels with tight stop-losses below $0.17. This approach limits downside while maintaining upside exposure if the oversold bounce materializes.

Risk management remains crucial given the 14-day ATR of $0.02, which represents significant volatility relative to the current price. Position sizing should reflect this volatility, with stop-losses placed definitively below the $0.17 support level.

Conclusion The WIF price prediction for the remainder of March suggests a critical juncture approaching. While technical indicators show bearish momentum, the positioning near oversold levels and lower Bollinger Band support creates potential for a counter-trend bounce.

The most likely scenario involves consolidation between $0.17-$0.21 over the next week, with the direction of the eventual breakout depending largely on broader market sentiment and volume patterns. Traders should monitor the $0.17 support level closely, as a breakdown could signal further weakness, while a bounce toward $0.23 would confirm the oversold rally thesis.

This dogwifhat forecast is based on technical analysis and should not be considered financial advice. Cryptocurrency investments carry significant risk, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

BNB Price Prediction as Judge Throws Out Anti-Terrorism Lawsuit Against Binance cryptonews
BNB
BNB price is moving near $614 after a US federal court dismissed all anti-terrorism claims against Binance. The ruling removes a major legal overhang, but the price remains under technical pressure.

A federal judge in the Southern District of New York dismissed all claims filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act. The lawsuit, as we reported, involved 535 plaintiffs who cited 64 attacks between 2017 and 2024. The court found that the plaintiffs failed to prove that Binance assisted or conspired with terrorist groups.

Court Dismisses All ATA Claims Against BinanceThe 62-page decision rejected every central allegation against Binance and founder Changpeng Zhao. The court stated that the plaintiffs failed to show direct participation or intent. It ruled that exchange access alone did not establish liability.

Eleanor Hughes, Binance General Counsel, said the dismissal represents a full rejection of the claims. She stated that the court rejected what she called a false narrative. The court allowed plaintiffs 60 days to file an amended complaint.

Binance stated that it remains confident no amended filing can fix the deficiencies identified. The company said it will continue to defend itself against litigation. It also confirmed ongoing engagement with regulators worldwide.

The lawsuit followed earlier regulatory scrutiny in the United States. In 2023, Binance agreed to a $4.3 billion settlement over sanctions and AML violations. That settlement remains separate from the ATA case.

Binance Responds to Senate Inquiry and Compliance QuestionsBinance also responded to an inquiry from Senator Richard Blumenthal. The company disputed media claims and called certain allegations unsupported. It stated that users located in Iran are prohibited from using the platform.

Binance said it found no direct transactions with Iran-based entities. It added that it first learned of named entities through law enforcement inquiries. The exchange said it investigated and off boarded the accounts involved.

Changpeng Zhao posted that false news is temporary and truth takes time. Teresa Goody Guillén also confirmed that the court dismissed every claim. She stated that the plaintiffs failed to tie Binance or Zhao to financing attacks.

BNB Price Structure Remains Bearish Below Key ResistanceDespite the legal win, BNB remains in a short-term downtrend on the daily chart. Price previously broke down from the $880 to $900 region. The move erased several support levels in a short period.

BNB trades below the 20-day simple moving average near $621. The upper Bollinger Band sits near $653 and acts as resistance. The lower Bollinger Band near $588 offers short-term support.

Source: TradingView

The RSI reads around 41 and remains below the neutral 50 level. Selling pressure has slowed, but bullish momentum has not returned. Traders are now watching the $650 to $700 zone for a recovery attempt.

If BNB fails to hold $588, the price may retest $560. A deeper move toward $520 to $500 remains possible if weakness continues. However, a break above $650 could open a path toward $720 to $750.

HBAR Price Prediction: Targets $0.10 Resistance Break by March 2026 cryptonews
HBAR
Caroline Bishop Mar 08, 2026 20:28

Hedera (HBAR) trades at $0.09 with neutral RSI at 43.88. Technical analysis suggests $0.10 resistance test ahead, with bearish MACD signaling caution for March targets.

Hedera (HBAR) has entered a critical technical phase as it trades near key support levels at $0.09. With the cryptocurrency showing mixed signals across momentum indicators, our HBAR price prediction analysis reveals both opportunities and risks for March 2026.

HBAR Price Prediction Summary • Short-term target (1 week): $0.10
• Medium-term forecast (1 month): $0.09-$0.11 range
• Bullish breakout level: $0.10
• Critical support: $0.09

What Crypto Analysts Are Saying About Hedera While specific analyst predictions from key opinion leaders are limited in recent days, historical forecasts provide context for current price action. According to Blockchain.News from early January 2026, analysts were targeting $0.16 for HBAR, suggesting significant upside potential from current levels.

MEXC's earlier prediction of $0.11605 for January 2026 appears optimistic given HBAR's current consolidation around $0.09. The gap between these forecasts and current price action indicates the cryptocurrency may be building a foundation for future moves.

HBAR Technical Analysis Breakdown Hedera's technical picture presents a mixed outlook with several key indicators worth monitoring:

RSI Analysis: At 43.88, HBAR's RSI sits in neutral territory, neither overbought nor oversold. This positioning suggests room for movement in either direction, with no immediate momentum extremes constraining price action.

MACD Signals: The MACD histogram reads 0.0000, indicating bearish momentum for HBAR. With both MACD (-0.0006) and signal line (-0.0006) in negative territory, the momentum structure favors downside pressure in the near term.

Bollinger Bands: HBAR trades near the lower Bollinger Band with a %B position of 0.0990, suggesting the cryptocurrency is testing support levels. The upper band sits at $0.10, middle band at $0.10, and lower band at $0.09, creating a tight trading range.

Moving Averages: Short-term moving averages (SMA 7, 20, 50) all converge around $0.10, while the SMA 200 at $0.15 indicates HBAR remains well below longer-term trend levels.

Hedera Price Targets: Bull vs Bear Case Bullish Scenario In an optimistic scenario, HBAR price prediction points to $0.10 as the immediate resistance target. A sustained break above this level could open the path toward $0.11, aligning with previous analyst forecasts.

Key bullish confirmations needed include RSI moving above 50, MACD histogram turning positive, and volume expansion above the 24-hour average of $5,097,254. The Stochastic indicators (%K at 15.01, %D at 12.01) suggest HBAR is oversold and could see relief rallies.

Bearish Scenario The bearish case for our Hedera forecast centers on the $0.09 support level failing to hold. With MACD showing bearish momentum and price action contained within Bollinger Bands, downside risks remain elevated.

A break below $0.09 could trigger further selling toward psychological support levels, particularly given the significant gap to the SMA 200 at $0.15. The Daily ATR of $0.01 suggests relatively low volatility, which could amplify breakout moves in either direction.

Should You Buy HBAR? Entry Strategy For traders considering HBAR positions, the current technical setup offers defined risk parameters:

Entry Points: Consider accumulating HBAR near $0.09 support, with additional buying interest on any dip toward the lower Bollinger Band. Wait for RSI to show signs of bottoming before aggressive entry.

Stop-Loss Strategy: Place stops below $0.088 to limit downside risk, representing approximately 7% below current levels. This positioning accounts for normal volatility while protecting against significant breakdown.

Risk Management: Given the bearish MACD momentum, position sizing should remain conservative until technical momentum shifts positive.

Conclusion Our HBAR price prediction suggests a period of consolidation with upside potential toward $0.10 resistance. While bearish momentum indicators urge caution, the neutral RSI and oversold Stochastic readings indicate HBAR may be building a base for future advances.

The Hedera forecast remains constructive for patient investors willing to accumulate near support levels, though short-term traders should await clearer technical confirmation before aggressive positioning.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Can BTC Recover After the Drop to $66K? cryptonews

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Can BTC Recover After the Drop to $66K?Bitcoin is currently trading near $66,000 after experiencing a sharp correction from its recent highs. After reaching levels above $120,000 earlier in the cycle, BTC has now lost almost half of its value during the latest market reset.

While some investors fear the bull market may be ending, historical patterns suggest these corrections are often a normal part of the Bitcoin cycle.

The key question now is whether Bitcoin is preparing for a recovery — or if another leg down could still occur.

Bitcoin Is Consolidating After a Major CorrectionBitcoin’s recent drop follows a familiar pattern seen in previous cycles.

In past bull markets, BTC often experiences 40–60% corrections before continuing upward.

By TradingView - BTCUSD_2026-03-08 (All)Examples include:

2017 cycle: BTC dropped from $20K to $10K before continuing the trend.2021 cycle: BTC fell from $64K to $30K before the next rally.2026 cycle: BTC dropped from around $127K to nearly $62K.This pattern shows that sharp corrections do not necessarily signal the end of a bull market.

Instead, they often represent a cooling-off phase after excessive leverage and speculation.

Key Support Levels for BitcoinFrom a technical perspective, several levels are now important for Bitcoin traders.

Major support zones:

$62,000 – $64,000 (cycle low area)$58,000 – $60,000 (strong historical demand zone)If Bitcoin remains above these levels, the broader bullish structure could remain intact.

Key Resistance Levels to WatchFor Bitcoin to regain bullish momentum, it would need to reclaim several resistance zones:

$70,000 psychological resistance$75,000 – $80,000 previous consolidation range$100,000+ long-term breakout targetBy TradingView - BTCUSD_2026-03-08 (5Y)A break above $70K could signal renewed bullish momentum across the crypto market.

Macro Events Are Adding VolatilityBitcoin’s recent volatility is also occurring alongside major global developments.

Markets are currently reacting to:

Rising oil pricesEscalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle EastIncreasing uncertainty across global financial marketsDuring these periods, investors often temporarily reduce exposure to risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.

However, some analysts argue that prolonged macro instability could eventually strengthen Bitcoin’s narrative as a hedge against global uncertainty.

Bitcoin Price PredictionBased on the current structure, three main scenarios could unfold.

Bullish scenario

BTC holds above $64K supportBreakout above $70KPossible rally toward $80K–$90KNeutral scenario

Bitcoin consolidates between $60K and $70K for several weeksBearish scenario

Breakdown below $60KPossible retest of $50K–$55KFor now, Bitcoin appears to be entering a consolidation phase, where the market resets before the next major move.
