Market Signal Briefing

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.

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 Bitcoin purchase history. Source: Michael SaylorThe company continues to accumulate BTC through debt and equity financing, even amid a broad market downturn and a collapse in net asset values (NAVs) for Treasury companies. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

- 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.

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.

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.

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 Vistagen Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTGN) between April 1, 2024 and December 16, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important March 16, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Vistagen 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 Vistagen class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50827 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 16, 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 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 Vistagen's plan to develop and commercialize its drug fasedienol, an investigational pherine candidate in development for the acute treatment of social anxiety disorder (SAD). Defendants' statements included, among other things, Vistagen's positive assertions of fasedienol's future trial success based on the prior positive results associated with the PALISADE-2 clinical trial, in addition to notable enhancements and operational changes made to the execution of the PALISADE-3 clinical trial supported a strong likelihood of Phase 3 success and positioned it as a confirmatory study.

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.

To join the Vistagen class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=50827 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.

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.

Disclaimer: Cryptocurrency investments carry significant risk. This FLOKI price prediction is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial advice. Always conduct your own research and consider your risk tolerance before investing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Popular Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo has stated that the premier cryptocurrency is heading towards resistance levels above $80k. However, he is of the opinion that even if such a position presents itself, it won’t result in an automatic resumption of the long-term bull market, but rather will become a classic bull trap that will lure short-term players into making a mistake once again.

Woo tweeted:

Image Source: X According to this tweet, the analyst believes that the recent Bitcoin price dump happened far more quickly than anticipated, and as a result, it waded into extreme oversold conditions.

Now, the conditions are ripe for a short-term rebound to $85k in the near future as a balancing act. However, he has also clearly stated that the bottom is not out yet and BTC is in the middle of the bear market range. He rounds off the analysis by saying that traders can expect sideways post-flush consolidation, followed by a rally to higher resistance levels that could form a bull trap.

Twitterati React One user replied:

Image Source: X Another user, however, was critical of Woo’s predictions near previous tops. They tweeted:

Image Source: X Woo replied to this user by pointing out that it was harder to predict a top than a bottom. According to him, tops are often driven by sentiment and FOMO, while bottoms are much more reliable to predict because of their relationship with liquidity.

“….., in terms of bottoms, I’m much better, have nailed all of them. This isn’t a bottom”, Woo countered. 

Woo Goes Bearish on Uninspiring Bitcoin, Cites Quantum Threat Woo is a well-known Bitcoin maximalist, but he has voiced his concerns regarding the emerging Quantum Computing (QC) threat and its impact on the price index. His overall views blend optimism about Bitcoin’s long-term potential as a dominant digital asset with cautionary notes on market cycles and emerging risks, such as quantum computing.

Price-wise, he has repeatedly stated that the incoming quantum threat cannot be understated, and its risk has been factored into the spot price index. He points out that the cryptocurrency has broken a 12-year trend of gains against Gold, and QC is to blame for it. Woo, emphasizing evidence over speculation, wants the Bitcoin core team to stay on guard and propose effective upgrades to the blockchain network to make it QC-resistant. Failure to do so will force the index to underperform in previous cycles, eroding confidence and deterring future investors.

Ethereum Co-Founder Jeffrey Wilcke has transferred 79,176 ETH, worth about $157 million, to Kraken, introducing potential exchange supply pressure. 

The move has immediately drawn market attention because founder-linked deposits often precede strategic liquidity events. 

At the same time, on-chain data showed trader Rune opening 7x leveraged short positions on ETH and the XYZ100 index while maintaining a TWAP order to expand exposure.

This combination places Ethereum at the center of a conflicting positioning environment. Large insider deposits often introduce sell-side risk, yet derivatives traders simultaneously build directional bets. 

As a result, at press time, Ethereum [ETH] sat between potential supply pressure from early holders and aggressive speculative positioning that could amplify volatility across derivatives markets.

Can Ethereum hold the descending channel floor? Ethereum continued trading inside a descending channel that has guided the price lower since the previous peak.

At press time, ETH traded near $1,944, attempting to stabilize above the $1,800 support zone. That level historically attracted buyers during previous pullbacks.

However, resistance remained layered above current price action.

The first barrier appeared near $2,261, followed by stronger resistance around $2,797.

A broader structural ceiling sat near $3,370, marking the upper boundary of the longer-term downtrend. Meanwhile, the RSI hovered near 42, indicating neutral-to-weak momentum.

That reading suggested buyers attempted recovery inside the channel, but conviction remained limited.

Even so, sellers continued defending upper trend levels, keeping Ethereum within its broader corrective structure.

Source: TradingView

Exchange flows still show ETH leaving markets Exchange flow data indicated that Ethereum continued recording negative Exchange Netflows, meaning withdrawals exceeded deposits.

The latest reading showed roughly –$14.28 million in Spot Netflows, suggesting investors still moved assets away from exchanges.

Such behavior typically reflected accumulation conditions rather than immediate distribution.

However, Wilcke’s 79,176 ETH transfer to Kraken introduced a contrasting supply signal.

One large insider transaction does not necessarily shift broader flow dynamics. However, founder-linked activity often attracts heightened market scrutiny.

Even so, persistent withdrawals suggested many holders still preferred off-exchange storage. That dynamic implied restrained sell pressure across the broader Spot market.

Source: CoinGlass

Funding rates explode as leverage surges Derivatives markets reflected rapidly expanding participation as Funding Rates have surged 1,626%, at press time. 

Such a sharp increase indicates that traders have aggressively entered leveraged positions across perpetual futures markets. 

Elevated funding levels typically appear when traders crowd into directional exposure. 

In this case, the spike highlights a sharp increase in speculative activity surrounding Ethereum’s price structure. 

Crowded leverage conditions often amplify volatility because liquidation events can cascade quickly during abrupt price moves.

Traders appear increasingly confident in their directional positioning. However, heavy leverage also increases structural fragility across derivatives markets. 

As a result, Ethereum now sits in an environment where even moderate price swings could trigger amplified liquidation pressure across both sides of the market.

Source: CryptoQuant

Top Binance traders stay strongly long Despite the founder-linked transfer and the emergence of large short positioning, Binance’s top traders still maintain a dominant bullish stance. 

According to CoinGlass analytics,  around 74.44% of accounts are holding long positions, while only 25.56% hold shorts. This produced a 2.91 Long/Short Ratio, reflecting strong directional conviction among experienced traders.

Professional accounts often represent more informed market participants, which makes their positioning particularly relevant. Many traders still anticipate price recovery despite rising volatility signals. 

However, the coexistence of aggressive longs and large short exposures introduces a fragile balance within derivatives markets. 

As leverage expands across both sides, Ethereum’s next major move could trigger a rapid positioning reset.

Source: CoinGlass

Ethereum now faces a complex positioning environment shaped by insider transfers, expanding leverage, and conflicting trader sentiment.

Wilcke’s 79,176 ETH deposit introduced potential supply pressure, while Rune’s 7x leveraged short reflected bearish conviction.

However, persistent exchange outflows and a 2.91 Long/Short Ratio among Binance top traders indicated underlying bullish confidence.

Ethereum’s next move will likely depend on whether buyers defend the $1,800 support while absorbing incoming supply.

Final Summary Ethereum co-founder Jeffrey Wilcke transferred 79,176 ETH (~$157M) to Kraken. At the same time, trader Rune opened 7x leveraged shorts on ETH.

Riot case study shows US Bitcoin miners can clear power costs long before they clear full profitBitcoin mining costs are often reduced to a single number: the “cost to mine one BTC.” In reality, that figure depends on what layer of the business you measure.

Electricity determines whether machines should run today, operating expenses determine whether a mining fleet supports the broader company, and accounting costs determine whether the business ultimately reports profit.

To examine those layers more clearly, CryptoSlate built a Bitcoin Mining Cost Model that calculates mining economics from first principles using network difficulty, block reward, transaction fees, ASIC efficiency, and electricity price.

The model then applies company-specific cost inputs using Riot Platforms’ public filings to illustrate how the economics stack up in practice.

Under current network conditions, the model shows that a miner can cover power costs but still fails to cover broader operating and accounting expenses.

Riot’s Texas operations reveal how far apart electricity break-even, operating break-even, and full accounting profitability can remain even after Bitcoin’s price recovery.

Riot’s mining economics reveal three break-even layersAt the current Bitcoin price of $67,200, Riot clears one break-even layer and misses the next two.

We modeled the data based on current network conditions, including Bitcoin difficulty of 145,042,165,424,850, a 3.125 BTC block reward, BTC per block, modern ASIC efficiency in the ~17–19 J/TH range, and Texas industrial electricity at roughly $0.0667 per kWh. We ignored block fees given that current averages sit around 0.02 BTC per block.

That setup produces a network total of 622.95 sextillion hashes per block (the total work the network must do, on average, to mine one block), 199.34 sextillion hashes per BTC (how fast a miner or the whole network does that work), and 969.04 megawatt-hours of energy per BTC.

These assumptions yield an electricity cost of $64,635 to mine 1 BTC at its current price, resulting in a power margin of $2,565 per BTC.

Model output showing estimated Bitcoin mining costs: 199.34 sextillion hashes per BTC, 969.04 MWh of energy use, and roughly $64,635 in electricity costs per BTC at a $67,200 BTC price.When we add Riot’s filing-based non-power operating cost layer of about $9,809 per BTC, the operating margin turns negative $7,243, and the total cost per BTC jumps accordingly. Adding the non-cash depreciation layer of about $39,687 per BTC pushes accounting profit to negative $46,930.

This clearly shows that, for large US miners, “cost to mine one Bitcoin” does not have a single figure.

One layer captures short-run electricity cost and helps decide whether machines are worth running.A second layer adds broader operating costs and shows whether self-mining covers the rest of the business.A third layer adds depreciation and shows whether the reported profit keeps pace with the cash margin.The model places those layers side by side and shows how far apart they remain after the market’s recovery.

The break-even ladder defines the operating pictureThe model produces a break-even ladder that says more than any single all-in mining-cost figure. Electricity-only break-even sits at $64,635 per BTC.

Add Riot’s filing-based non-power operating cost layer, and break-even rises to about $74,444.

Add the accounting depreciation layer and full accounting break-even rises again to $114,130.

Therefore, miners can report positive power economics while still posting weak operating or accounting results.

In my $49,000 bear case, Riot is negative on every measure. Power margin per BTC is negative $15,635, operating margin is negative $25,443, and accounting profit is negative $65,130.

The power margin turns positive, yet the operating and accounting views stay negative.

Model output chart showing Bitcoin mining economics: 622.95 sextillion hashes per block, 969.04 MWh energy per BTC, total cost per BTC $114,130, electricity cost $64,635, and negative operating and accounting margins at an illustrative BTC price of $67,200.In the $80,000 recovery case, Riot clears the operating threshold, with an operating margin of $5,557 per BTC, while the accounting view still shows a loss of $34,130.

Riot’s depreciation layer is explicitly framed as non-cash and based on a three-year useful life. It is an accounting allocation rather than a short-term avoidable cash outflow.

It still belongs in the picture because public miners do not live on power margin alone. They report income statements. They replace machines. They absorb corporate costs.

So the useful question is which profitability line investors, analysts, and management teams are actually using and when to say a miner is profitable.

Riot’s next-halving projection extends the price testWe then ran a cost projection until the next halving in 2028.

Using Riot's latest publicly available filings, we assume 38.5 exahash per second, ramping to 45 EH/s by March 31, 2026, and then holding that level flat through to the next halving window.

We are not attempting to rebuild the entire market. The model keeps current per-BTC economics constant and scales them through Riot’s reported and planned self-mining hash-rate path.

This is a scenario exercise focused on operating leverage, and the price sensitivity is hard to miss.

It can also turn operating-positive and still remain far from accounting profit. Riot’s case study shows that the gap between those states is wide.

In the model, the difference between power break-even and full accounting break-even is roughly $49,495 per BTC. That spread helps explain why miners can look healthy on fleet dispatch and strained on reported earnings at the same time.

Our cumulative chart does not call future difficulty, fees, outages, curtailment revenue, financing, or new capex. It assumes today’s per-BTC economics persist and scales them only according to Riot’s planned hash-rate path.

That limitation still leaves a clear signal. Holding the rest of the economics flat shows how much of the next-halving debate still hinges on Bitcoin's price.

In Riot’s case, the model does not reach cumulative accounting profitability until the $126,000 scenario. However, in absolute terms, the level is $114,200.

Price alone does not settle the operating picture. Fleet efficiency and power price still decide the first cut.

In terms of cost sensitivity, we compare three ASIC presets: the Bitmain S21 at 17.5 J/TH, the WhatsMiner M60S at 18.5 J/TH, and the Antminer S19 Pro at 29.5 J/TH, using a Texas industrial power reference rate.

Cost sensitivity chart comparing Bitcoin mining breakeven costs for Antminer S19 Pro, Bitmain S21, and WhatsMiner M60S across different electricity prices, showing older S19 Pro becoming unprofitable fastest as power costs rise.Across that range, the S19 Pro stays above the newer machines on cost per BTC. The two newer models run close to one another, while the less efficient fleet carries a visibly higher cost line throughout the chart.

That point carries beyond Riot. Riot’s filing-based non-power cost layer and depreciation assumptions are company-specific. Another miner may have a different overhead base, a different useful-life assumption, a different curtailment profile, or a different realized power mix. But we feel the three-layer structure still travels well.

First comes power cost. Then operating cost. Then accounting cost.

The companies that survive weak price periods tend to clear the first layer comfortably. The companies that compound value through the cycle need to clear all three over time.

At the current price of around $67,000, the model does not show a company in distress at the machine level. The power margin is positive. Machines still earn more than they spend on electricity.

At the same time, it does not show a miner that has solved the full income statement. The operating line stays red. The accounting line stays deeper in the red. For a public miner, that split shapes treasury decisions, fleet replacement timing, and market expectations for earnings.

We can therefore extrapolate that Bitcoin miners can cross into positive power margin well below six figures, cross into positive operating margin in the recovery case, and still miss cumulative accounting profitability until we retest the all-time high above $114,000
