Market Signal Briefing

After weeks of steady selling pressure, Bitcoin is showing its first signs of recovery. The recent bounce off the $80K demand zone sparked a strong move back above $90K, pulling sentiment slightly out of the fear zone.

Bitcoin market fears are overblown as policy shifts open medium-term upside, K33 saysMarkets

Quick Take
Several of the biggest bitcoin fear narratives — quantum risks, potential Strategy sales, and Tether’s reserve backing — are distant, hypothetical problems rather than near-term threats, according to K33.
Upcoming U.S. policy changes, 401(k) access, and pro-crypto regulatory momentum create a stronger medium-term backdrop for bitcoin despite its deepest correction since 2022–23, Head of Research Vetle Lunde said.
While bitcoin is enduring its steepest correction since the 2022–23 bear market, the current wave of fear is being driven by exaggerated long-horizon risks rather than any immediate structural threat, according to K33.

In its December Outlook, the research and brokerage firm's Head of Research, Vetle Lunde, argued that bitcoin is trading at "deep value" relative to equities and that the case for material upside is far more plausible than a repeat of the 80% drawdowns seen in prior cycles.

Lunde pointed to derivatives excess, concentrated selling from long-term holders, and broad supply distribution as the catalysts that pushed the market to its recent lows.

According to K33, sentiment deteriorated sharply through November as ETF holders also turned into "huge net sellers" and traditional finance participants stepped back, leaving bitcoin at its weakest level relative to the Nasdaq since November 2024. Positive catalysts failed to gain traction, Lunde noted, as market participants "scrambled for reasons to sell" in an environment where speculators had exhausted cash reserves while veteran holders positioned defensively.

The report highlighted three recurring fear narratives that have dominated recent headlines but, in Lunde's view, are ultimately problems "many years into the future."

Firstly, on quantum computing risk, Lunde said that while around 6.8 million BTC could theoretically be vulnerable if powerful enough machines emerged — referring to coins whose public keys are already exposed onchain — the timeline for such breakthroughs remains uncertain, and exchanges are unlikely to allow compromised coins to circulate freely. For now, he argued, the issue warrants developer coordination, not panic selling.

A second concern has centered on whether Strategy might be forced to sell bitcoin to support its share price. Lunde acknowledged that while Michael Saylor has opened the door to potentially selling some of its bitcoin to meet obligations if challenging market conditions persist, nothing indicates an actual intent to do so, pointing to the company's recent $1.44 billion U.S. dollar reserve raise, which provides 21 months of dividend runway. Any potential forced sales, he said, remain far away and do not justify near-term fear.

The third fear narrative involves Tether's reserve backing. While the stablecoin issuer holds "unconventional" reserves, including gold and bitcoin, Lunde emphasized that Tether earns $500 million per month from U.S. Treasury yields, has $7 billion in excess equity over its $184.5 billion stablecoin liabilities, and a further $23 billion in retained earnings. With nearly 80% of reserves in low-risk instruments, he sees no indication of a near-term liquidity event or forced bitcoin selling by the company.

Policy and structural developmentsK33 instead points to a cluster of medium-term policy and structural developments that could materially strengthen bitcoin's outlook. By February 2026, U.S. regulators must deliver new 401(k) guidance enabling crypto exposure in a $9 trillion retirement market. The Clarity Act is also expected to pass in the coming months, potentially accelerating tokenization and bank-led collateral use, the analyst said. Furthermore, a "pro-crypto dove" could soon lead the Federal Reserve, lowering the cost of capital and supporting discussion around a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, he added.

With bitcoin near major support zones, Lunde concluded that upside potential is far greater than the long-term risks currently dominating sentiment as he opts for "long and bold" exposure.

Last week, Lunde argued that bitcoin was a "strong relative buy" with the sell-off nearly saturated. After substantial volatility in the $85,000 to $92,000 range in recent days, the cryptocurrency subsequently rebounded back above $94,000 at one point on Wednesday to reach its highest level in two weeks. Bitcoin is currently trading for around $93,570, according to The Block's BTC price page.

In a dramatic turn of events, Bitcoin has surged back above $93,000 during early trading in Asia on Wednesday. This rebound comes shortly after the cryptocurrency plummeted to $84,000, influenced by a substantial liquidation event. The rapid recovery has revived market optimism, as Bitcoin now tests a significant resistance level, stirring fresh enthusiasm among traders.

This recent price movement marks a full recovery from the previous dip, highlighting the volatile and unpredictable nature of cryptocurrency markets. The swift change in market sentiment has intrigued analysts, including the well-known ‘Daan Crypto Trades,’ who pointed out the significance of the monthly candle sweep. He noted that swift price movements, which leave no residual price wicks, often lead to these levels being revisited. “This was a very quick and clean example of that,” he remarked, referring to the recent price action.

As of now, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization stands at approximately $3.2 trillion, according to CoinGecko. Despite the recent recovery, this figure remains about 27% lower than the all-time high of $4.4 trillion seen in early October. This decline reflects the broader volatility in the crypto market, which has experienced significant swings over recent months.

The fluctuating market cap has been attributed to several factors, including the presence of “large short-liquidation clusters,” as reported by blockchain analysis firm Glassnode. Interestingly, such short liquidations are often viewed as potential catalysts for upward momentum, as forced buying can exacerbate price increases. This perspective is shared by analyst ‘Sykodelic,’ who described the recent dip as a necessary event that set the stage for the current bullish sentiment. “Everyone was losing their minds yesterday with that dip. But it was exactly what we wanted to see,” he commented on the market reaction.

Nevertheless, not all analysts are convinced by the recent bullish sentiment. ‘CryptoCon,’ another market commentator, cautioned against prematurely declaring the start of a new bull run. He characterized the recent price increase as a potential “bear trap,” warning that the bear market could persist longer than some expect. “The bear market usually takes the full year to play out, so it’s a long, painful process,” he noted.

While Bitcoin’s resurgence has undoubtedly been the focal point, other cryptocurrencies have also benefited from the improved market mood. Ether, for instance, has climbed back to the $3,000 mark. This level represents a crucial resistance for Ether, which needs to hold above it to pursue higher targets like $3,400. The connection between Bitcoin’s movements and other cryptocurrencies is well-documented, making Bitcoin’s performance a bellwether for the entire crypto market.

In the altcoin arena, several tokens have posted significant gains. Solana rose nearly 10% to reach $140, while Cardano climbed 12.5% to $0.44. Chainlink also experienced a robust increase, surging 15% to approach $14. However, these gains are modest when viewed against the backdrop of severe losses sustained over the past month. Many altcoins are still recovering from a period of intense market pressure that has tested the resilience of traders and investors alike.

The recent volatility underscores the inherent risks associated with cryptocurrency investments. While the potential for high returns is enticing, the market’s unpredictable nature can lead to swift and significant losses. This rollercoaster of prices not only tests the nerves of investors but also challenges their strategies.

Historically, the crypto market has been known for its cycles of boom and bust. For instance, Bitcoin’s monumental rise in 2017 to nearly $20,000 was followed by a prolonged bear market, demonstrating the cyclical pattern often observed. Regulatory actions, market speculation, and technological developments continue to shape the landscape, adding layers of complexity to market dynamics.

One risk to consider is the ongoing regulatory scrutiny in various jurisdictions. Governments and financial authorities worldwide have ramped up efforts to regulate the crypto space, aiming to prevent fraud and protect investors. Such actions could introduce new challenges for the market, potentially curbing some of the speculative fervor that has historically driven prices.

Despite these risks, the underlying technology of blockchain and its applications continue to garner interest and investment. From decentralized finance (DeFi) to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the crypto world is teeming with innovation. These developments have the potential to reshape industries, offering new opportunities for growth and efficiency.

The fluctuating fortunes of Bitcoin and the broader crypto market illustrate the fast-paced and often unpredictable nature of digital currencies. As investors navigate this landscape, they must weigh the potential rewards against the inherent risks. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether this latest rally marks the beginning of a sustained upward trend or a temporary respite in an otherwise challenging market environment.

In summary, Bitcoin’s return to over $93,000 has reignited bullish sentiment, with analysts expressing both optimism and caution. The broader market has shown resilience, yet the path forward remains fraught with challenges. As the crypto market continues to evolve, participants must stay vigilant, informed, and prepared for whatever comes next.

XRP’s price pullback deepened this week, but a high-timeframe technical view keeps some traders hopeful. Based on reports from analyst Egrag Crypto, the monthly chart remains above the key 21-EMA, and that is being treated as the main guide for the coin’s long-term direction.

Monthly Chart Holds The Stronger Signal
According to Egrag’s multi-timeframe review, seven key charts were checked and six trade below the 21-day Exponential Moving Average. The weaker frames include the four-hour, one-day, three-day, five-day, one-week, and two-week charts.

XRP is trading at $2.18, up 8.5% over the last 24 hours, but shed a measly 0.8% on the weekly frame. That short-term fall explains the current mood among traders.

Big Upside Targets On The Table
Reports have disclosed that the analyst’s longer-term model keeps XRP inside a rising channel on the monthly chart.

The model points to a target band between $9 and $13, and the analyst gives this outcome a 55–65% probability within three to six months if the monthly candle holds above its support.

#XRP – The Chasm ( $13) – 7 Time Frames ( 🧵1/8):

There is 1 Signal Matters Most. Right now, 6 time frames are bearish below the 21 EMA:

4H ⬇️

1D ⬇️

3D ⬇️

5D ⬇️

1W ⬇️

2W⬇️

But there’s 1 KING timeframe still bullish:

1M (Monthly) ⬆️ Above the 21 EMA

General Note: In TA,… pic.twitter.com/788Mk5u5Ng

— EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) December 1, 2025

From today’s price, reaching $9 would require roughly an over 4x rise, while $13 would mean close to 7-fold jump. Those are large moves and would likely need strong momentum to happen quickly.

Other Analysts Offer Lower Near-Term Estimates
Other analysts recently projected a $4 price in about four months or by the end of 2026, citing Ripple’s plan to launch RLUSD in Japan by Q1 2026 as one possible driver.

Based on reports, spot XRP ETFs have bought over $756 million worth of the token in the weeks after their launch, a flow that some see as support for future gains.

XRPUSD currently trading at $2.18. Chart: TradingView
Escrow Release Draws Attention
Meanwhile, on-chain data shows Ripple’s escrow unlocked 1 billion XRP for December in two equal transactions of 500 million each.

The first transfer went to the Ripple (9) address on Tuesday. At the time of reporting, the Ripple (9) wallet held 500,000,204 XRP from that release.

One of the 500 million batches was valued at about $1.08 billion at the moment it moved. These monthly unlocks are routine, but they are watched closely by markets because of the extra supply that can enter circulation.

What Traders Should Watch Next
Short-term charts remain under pressure, and momentum indicators on lower timeframes are weak. Yet higher-timeframe momentum can shift quickly when buyers step in, and a single monthly close below or above the 21-EMA would change how analysts read the situation.

Based on reports, holders who follow the monthly structure are being urged to stay patient, while others warn that short-term selling could extend before any sustained recovery.

Ether’s (ETH) price traded at $3,077, up 17% above its local lows of $2,620 reached on Nov. 21. However, reduced treasury buying and overhead resistance delayed sustained recovery toward $4,000.

Key takeaways:

Ether treasury demand has collapsed 80%, raising concerns about their sustainability.

Breaking the resistance at $3,200 is crucial for confirming the recovery.

Ether’s falling wedge breakout targets $4,150 ETH if key support levels hold.

Ethereum treasuries have collapsed by 80%Ether has seen a steep decline in demand from corporate treasury entities that had previously accumulated ETH as part of the “DAT” trend.

Data from Bitwise reveals that digital asset treasury (DAT) companies purchased just 370,000 ETH in November, down 81% from August’s peak of 1.97 million ETH.

Bitwise’s Senior Research Associate, Max Shannon, warns that the structural bid for Ether will disappear if treasury buying continues to decline while supply remains constant.

— Max Shannon (@cornMaxy) December 2, 2025This drop is not simply a slowdown, but reveals a structural decline driven by shrinking mNAV levels and vanishing purchasing power among smaller firms.

Additional data from Capriole Investments reveals that daily institutional buying, including both DATs and ETFs, has dropped from a peak of 121,827 ETH on Aug. 15. In fact, they are now selling at a rate of 5,520 ETH per day. 

Ethereum: Daily rate of institutional buying. Source: Capriole InvestmentsRaising capital is becoming a problem, leaving only a handful of large players active. One of these is Bitmine, led by Wall Street strategist Tom Lee, which continues to add ETH; however, monthly and weekly volumes have declined, according to CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn. 

Yes, Bitmine continues to add new Ethereum to its treasury, but the monthly USD values have been declining:

July 2025: $2.6B
August 2025: $4.3B
September 2025: $3.4B
October 2025: $2.3B
November 2025: $892M pic.twitter.com/w1k3FdXIXy

— Maartunn (@JA_Maartun) December 3, 2025While treasury purchases still exceed Ethereum’s monthly supply of about 80,000 ETH, the narrowing pool of active buyers signals that the DAT model is collapsing.

As Cointelegraph reported, Ether treasury companies are sitting on millions of dollars of unrealized losses, raising concerns about their sustainability.

Ether faces resistance above $3,200The latest recovery in ETH price has seen it reclaim a key support area around $3,080, where the 50-week and 100-week SMAs appear to converge, according to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView.

A daily candlestick close above this level would be a bullish sign that the buyers are back in control. 

ETH/USD four-hour chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewIf this level holds, “then we’re eager for an upside,” MN Capital founder Michael van de Poppe said in a recent X post, adding:

“On the upside, $3,000-3,100 remains a crucial resistance zone to break through.”Note that this area of resistance coincides with the 200-period SMA, which has suppressed the price since Oct. 28. 

This is where investors acquired about 5.1 million ETH, according to Glassnode’s cost basis distribution heatmap. 

Ethereum: Cost basis distribution heatmap. Source: GlassnodeAs Cointelegraph reported, a close above the 20-day EMA at $3,100 would suggest that the selling pressure is reducing, clearing the way for a climb toward the 50-day SMA around $3,500.

Ether’s falling wedge breakout targets $4,150The daily chart shows the ETH/USD pair breaking above the upper trendline of a falling wedge pattern at $3,000.

A daily close above this level would confirm the breakout, opening the way for Ether’s rise toward the wedge’s target at $4,150, representing a 36% increase from the current price.

SHIB breaks out with an 11% run in a market frozen by extreme fear, and the chart flips the script fast, putting a real zero-deletion opportunity back in the conversation.

The biggest meme coin on Ethereum, Shiba Inu (SHIB), is starting December with a price pattern that refuses to match the exhausted narrative many attached to the meme coin over the past few months because, after shedding liquidity and sentiment for weeks, it suddenly posted an 11% gain across 10 days, as per TradingView⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and built a floor that looks stronger than ever this year.

What makes this move more noticeable is the market backdrop, where the Fear and Greed Index still sits deep in fear territory at 22 after printing extreme fear at 16 yesterday and 15 last week. So, it is fair to say that SHIB pushing higher inside that environment tells you the asset is moving on chart mechanics rather than collective mood. 

The daily chart shows SHIB climbing back to $0.00000899, punching through minor intraday resistance and closing with enough conviction to make even the most skeptical stare again at levels they dismissed as irrelevant just two weeks ago.

HOT Stories

SHIB/USD by TradingViewThe setup forming on the chart is not textbook, but it is the kind of structure that often appears on assets that spent too long drifting under their own moving averages. This pattern sits right under the 23-day SMA at $0.00000863 and the 50-day SMA at $0.00000934, which are starting to converge into a zone that can either reject or propel SHIB depending on how strong the next impulse comes in.

Zero out for SHIBThe ultimate target for the SHIB recovery is the 200-day moving average at $0.00001175 right now. Reaching that will not only add 30% to the price of the Shiba Inu coin but delete a whole zero in its figure.

You Might Also Like

SHIB does not need a full-blown breakout to touch it, but only needs the current rebound to hold without collapsing back into the lower $0.0000080s. If buyers keep the structure onside, the move to that 200-day curve becomes less of a fantasy and more of a mechanical outcome of the range itself.

Coinbase Institutional has issued a stark warning to investors as Bitcoin breaks through critical support levels, citing multiple bearish indicators, including massive ETF outflows, whale distribution, and compressed valuations of digital asset treasuries.

The assessment comes as BTC trades decisively below its 200-day moving average following a 32% drawdown from recent highs above $126,000, with the crypto now testing support near $93,000.

Source: TradingViewThe exchange’s latest market analysis reveals a confluence of negative factors weighing on Bitcoin’s price action.

“In this environment, we think higher probability setups favor breakout trades over knife-catching,” Coinbase stated in a recent post, advising caution even as quantitative tightening ends and the Federal Reserve re-enters bond markets.

Buy the dip?

With quantitative tightening ending, the Fed is back in the bond market and the drain of cash from markets may be behind us. That’s usually good for risk-on assets like crypto.

So why did BTC dump?

• BTC broke major bull market support bands
• Options traders… pic.twitter.com/1C8mxtemun

— Coinbase Institutional 🛡️ (@CoinbaseInsto) December 2, 2025
Critical Support Levels Shattered Across Multiple MetricsBitcoin has systematically broken through every major technical and on-chain support band that has historically anchored bull-market rallies.

According to Coinbase November report, the crypto now trades below its short-term holder cost basis and the 75% profit threshold that provided support in previous cycles, leaving no obvious floor for prices.

The $98,000-$100,000 battleground, which previously represented a thick band of holders anchored to that level, collapsed as the price sliced through with minimal rebound attempts.

Source: CoinbaseRecent buyers are underwater, with realized losses spiking to levels last seen during the November 2022 FTX collapse.

This creates elevated capitulation risk as short-term holders rush to cut losses rather than hold through the downturn.

The swift drop through the $90,000-$85,000 range showed the lack of organic demand to mitigate declines, with cost-basis distribution thinning out below current levels.

Options markets have also shifted from cautious to outright defensive, with the Bull-Bear Index turning firmly negative across short and mid-term tenors.

Traders are paying premiums for downside protection rather than upside exposure, while long-dated options hover near neutral, suggesting structural uncertainty rather than deep pessimism.

Source: CoinbaseMeanwhile, long-term holder net position changes have turned decidedly negative on a 30-day basis, with market intelligence firm Arkham identifying at least one early Bitcoin whale who fully exited an 11,000 BTC position worth approximately $1.3 billion between late October and November.

ETF and Treasury Demand EvaporatesSpot ETF flows, previously a dominant incremental buyer, have reversed course dramatically.

November 2025 posted record cumulative net outflows as the trailing seven-day sum turned markedly negative after the price broke key levels.

Source: CoinbaseWhen allocators redeem ETF shares, issuers must sell spot Bitcoin or reduce hedges, amplifying broader risk-off episodes.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs now manage $168 billion in assets, holding approximately 1.36 million BTC, representing 6.9% of the circulating supply.

Digital asset treasury demand has similarly cooled, with companies’ market value over net asset value compressing below parity for the first time since 2024.

Multiple treasury vehicles now trade at discounts to their Bitcoin holdings, creating latent risk as shareholders may pressure management to slow purchases, hedge exposure, or monetize holdings.

This pressure manifests as companies, including Strategy, establish cash reserves, with Strategy announcing a $1.44 billion reserve covering 21 months of obligations while updating fiscal guidance to project operating results ranging from a $7 billion loss to a $9.5 billion gain, depending on year-end Bitcoin prices.

The shift comes ahead of MSCI’s January 15, 2026, decision on whether to exclude companies holding more than half their assets in crypto from global indices.

JPMorgan estimates this could trigger forced institutional selling between $2.8 billion and $8.8 billion.

Stablecoin Liquidity ContractsCrypto-native dollar liquidity is rolling over as aggregate stablecoin supply contracts following steady growth through October.

The 30-day momentum has posted its weakest reading since 2023, with shrinking supply reflecting deleveraging and capital leaving on-chain rails for fiat or safer assets.

While stablecoins reached a record of over $300 billion in circulation, the recent contraction signals reduced “dry powder” available to chase rallies despite stablecoins processing $225.6 billion in daily transfer volume.

Source: CoinbaseDespite these headwinds, Grayscale Research has recently challenged widespread pessimism, arguing that Bitcoin’s current market structure fundamentally differs from previous cycles.

The asset manager contends that dominance by exchange-traded products and corporate treasuries rather than retail exchanges means Bitcoin won’t follow historical patterns of deep, prolonged declines.

Source: GrayscaleTechnical indicators, including elevated put option skew and on-chain trader capitulation, suggest bottom formation may be underway, with accumulation patterns continuing among large holders.

Follow us on Google News

Institutional interest in XRP has reached a new high. The total value of XRP-based spot ETFs held by investors reportedly climbed to $844.99 million, marking an all-time high for the asset. With large institutional flows returning, the demand signals for XRP are becoming harder to ignore—and chart structure is starting to reflect a potential breakout scenario.

XRP ETF Volume Marks HighsIn just over two weeks, US-listed spot XRP ETFs have accumulated roughly 318 million XRP, translating to about $648 million in value. Other filings show even higher aggregate holdings, consistent with the $844.99 million figure being tracked. 

Major fund managers like Franklin Templeton and Grayscale Investments have entered the market, with disclosures showing tens of millions of XRP under management. 

This accumulation is significant: it reflects a regulated, institutional gateway into XRP, which may reduce friction for large-scale capital and improve supply dynamics on the spot market.

How Will This Impact the XRP Price Rally?The XRP price is currently trading around $2.18 with intraday gains of nearly 5%, forming a daily high of around $2.21. The ETF flow backdrop suggests demand is shifting, which often precedes structural breakout attempts. With the strong institutional backing, the supply side may tighten, which often leads to a sharper move when liquidity triggers align. 

The support zone between $1.91 and $1.97 has been one of the strongest support ranges since the start of the year. During the current pullback, this zone held back the rally and triggered a rebound, which is now about to enter the Ichimoku cloud. Moreover, the levels are about to undergo a bullish crossover that may help the price to remain within a consolidated zone for a while. On the other hand, the OBV that had maintained a steep descending trend, has flattened a bit, indicating a pause in the bearish trend. 

Therefore, the XRP price trajectory is bullish with a potential to rise above the resistance range between $2.23 and $2.27. Once the price rises above the range, then the upward pressure may fade a little, paving the way for the token to test higher targets above $2.5 or $2.8.

Dog-themed cryptocurrency Dogecoin saw its strongest breakout in weeks, coupled with a 10,187% activity surge.

Dogecoin reversed a five-day drop since Nov. 24, seeing a sharp rise in the Tuesday session.

On Tuesday, Dogecoin rose from $0.137 to $0.147, printing a large green daily candlestick. The surge continued on Wednesday, reaching an intraday high of $0.1529. This extends a recovery from the Dec. 1 low of $0.131.

At press time, Dogecoin was up 8.64% in the last 24 hours to $0.1496, marking its strongest breakout in weeks. The dog coin is on track to erase weekly losses, just down 0.6% in the last seven days.

HOT Stories

The upside shift demonstrates that the bearish trend the market has been in since early October is vulnerable, but that there is an avenue for a bullish reversal.

More noticeable is the fact that Dogecoin's futures activity has surged 10,187% on Bitmex crypto exchange, reflecting that traders are actively piling into Dogecoin's recent move.

According to CoinGlass data, Dogecoin futures volume reached $120.76 million on Bitmex in the last 24 hours, representing a 10,187% surge in activity.

DOGE opened near $0.135 on Tuesday before lifting steadily. An explosive move triggered a volume burst, sending the price higher. In the last 24 hours, Dogecoin trading volume on spot exchanges rose 47.24%, reaching $1.78 billion, according to CoinMarketCap data.

What's next?Dogecoin rallied alongside the rest of the market as bulls made a comeback after a sell-off at December's start.

The amount of $0.1347 is now the crucial support level for short-term bullish setups. The breakout structure supports upside bias, but failure to decisively break $0.15 may cause a pullback to $0.142-$0.144.

Market flows and ETF speculation might continue to act as secondary catalysts for the Dogecoin price, while the broader market sentiment might be more significant to watch in the days ahead.

DOGE shows a Dragonfly Doji on the weekly chart, hinting at a potential bullish reversal and a target of $1 from current levels.

Newton Gitonga2 min read

Dogecoin started at $0.1368 and saw a sharp surge, quickly rising above $0.145. After the spike, the price stabilized with moderate fluctuations between $0.145 and $0.149. DOGE remains under pressure on higher timeframes, sitting about 7.3% lower over the past week and 12.3% down in the last 14 days. This suggests that today’s move is more of a relief rally within a broader cooling-off phase. As of this writing, the DOGE is exchanging hands at around $0.1500 with a 24-hour gain of 9.5%.

Dogecoin Forms Dragonfly Doji, Signaling Potential Bullish ReversalAccording to analyst Trader Tardigrade, Dogecoin is currently showing signs of a potential bullish reversal on the weekly chart. The key signal highlighted is the Dragonfly Doji, a classic candlestick pattern that often indicates a shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. This pattern appears when the price opens, drops significantly, but then recovers to close near the opening price, leaving a long lower shadow.

In Dogecoin’s case, the Dragonfly Doji has formed at a strong trendline support, which has historically acted as a solid foundation during previous price rallies, as seen in past surges of 86%, 210%, and even 442% within 2024–2025. This suggests that buyers are stepping in to defend key levels, creating the potential for a strong upside move.

Trader Tardigrade further notes that if the bullish reversal holds, Dogecoin could target $1, representing a potential gain of over 600% from current levels. The analyst emphasizes that the weekly chart’s long-term perspective strengthens the significance of this reversal signal, making it more reliable than shorter-term patterns. Past instances of trendline support combined with bullish reversal signals have historically led to substantial price appreciation, suggesting DOGE may be entering another major upward cycle. 

Dogecoin Technical AnalysisDogecoin’s price on the 1-day timeframe shows the price stabilizing after a prolonged downtrend, with the market attempting to hold above the $0.1450–$0.1500 zone. This area has acted as a short-term base after recent weakness. Key support sits around $0.1450, while resistance is forming near $0.1600, with a stronger ceiling around $0.1700 that DOGE would need to break to confirm bullish momentum.

The relative strength indicator (RSI) sits around 44, indicating that the market is neither oversold nor overbought. The MACD remains slightly below the signal line, though both lines are flattening, suggesting that bearish momentum is fading and the market could be preparing for a potential shift.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2025) - Kaskela Law LLC is investigating the proposed buyout of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) ("EA" or the "Company") shareholders to determine whether the buyout agreement is fair to the Company's investors.

Spend enough time following the cryptocurrency universe and any investor is apt to come away thinking it’s always “alts season.” Indeed, there’s no shortage of clarion calls proclaiming now is the time for digital currencies that aren’t bitcoin or stable coins to deliver big gains. Over the course of 2025, altcoins have occasionally rallied. Broadly speaking, though, the space hasn’t delivered as promise. That tale of disappointment underscores the need for investors to be selective in this realm, an objective made easier with the CoinShares Altcoins ETF (DIME).

Now about a month old, DIME could be a crypto investor’s best friend in the altcoin arena. The new ETF is actively managed. That’s potentially a plus in a market segment that arguably lends itself to that management style. Its roster is comprised of higher market capitalization altcoins. The latter point is important because the altcoin universe is populated by thousands of tokens, many of which are highly speculative.

Fed Could Support Case for DIME
Although it’s a rookie ETF, DIME could prove relevant to cryptocurrency investors here and now. The Federal Reserve has clearly moved away from quantitative tightening (QT). Two 2025 rate cuts and expectations of another this month prove as much. That could prove important to DIME investors.

“The Fed’s monetary policy increasingly influences the crypto market. Historically, when the Fed was not engaged in QT, altcoins showed notable strength against Bitcoin, sparking multi-year rallies and altering market dynamics,” reported BeInCrypto.

Citing research from analyst Matthew Hyland, the publication noted that owning altcoins was rewarding during prior periods in which QT was off the table. In other words, if history repeats and the Fed obliges, DIME could be a crypto ETF to consider now and over the course of next year.

“Hyland’s research spotlights the periods 2014-2017 and 2019-2022. During these periods, the absence of QT allowed altcoins to sustain uptrends for 42 and 29 months, respectively,” according to BeInCrypto.

In other words, the absence of tighter monetary policy can benefit altcoins. However, simply because rate hiking cycles end doesn’t mean new eras of looser monetary policy immediately follow. Said differently, declining rates — the scenario playing out today — can be additive to the case for altcoin exposure.

“The Fed’s approach closely mirrors these shifts. From 2014 to 2017, a supportive stance led to strong altcoin growth. Likewise, after QT ended in August 2019, another altcoin rally unfolded and lasted through 2022. These cycles suggest Fed liquidity policy is a core influence on crypto risk assets,” noted BeInCrypto.

December may just be getting started, but things are certainly not looking very chilly for silver prices. 

Thus far, the winter season seems to be moving in favor of the precious metal. On Monday, silver began the month of December on a high note, hitting new highs of $58.58 an ounce. Notably, this rally represents year-to-date gains that flirt around the 100% threshold. 

While the silver rally alone should warrant close attention, it’s equally as important to understand why silver is doing so well right now. To begin, the global supply of silver is tightening following recent silver flows into London’s market. This has led to tight supplies in other markets like Shanghai, and contributed to higher borrowing costs. 

Furthermore, silver, much like gold, is well-positioned to benefit from a potential rate cut from the Federal Reserve next week. Should the Fed trim interest rates, advisors and investors alike may continue to move to precious metals as a safe haven and a store of value. 

Different Avenues for Expanding Silver Exposure
Even with silver hitting record highs this week, the conditions supporting the rally aren’t slated to abate any time soon. As such, there’s potential for advisors and investors to capitalize on the opportunity through the flexibility of the ETF wrapper.

One way to potentially do so is through the Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV). PSLV invests in fully-allocated and unencumbered London Good Delivery silver bars. This can serve as a valuable and more accessible vehicle for folks looking to gain access to physical silver. 

Much like silver itself, PSLV has seen particularly strong results this year. As of October 31, 2025, the fund’s NAV has risen 66.69% year-to-date. 

Alternatively, the Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF (SLVR) could also offer a potent use case. The fund offers exposure to both physical silver and the silver mining industry itself. This strategy can provide a portfolio with multiple avenues to capitalize on the silver rally. 

SLVR’s balanced approach to silver exposure is paying off with good results. As of November 30, 2025, the fund’s NAV has risen 46.10% over the last three months.

The Sprott Physical Silver Trust is generally exposed to multiple risks that have been both identified and described in the Prospectus. Please refer to the Prospectus for a description of these risks. This material must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.  One cannot invest directly in an index.

Funds that emphasize investments in small/mid-cap companies will generally experience greater price volatility. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of investment losses. ETFs are considered to have continuous liquidity because they allow an individual to trade throughout the day. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses, affect the Fund’s performance.

The ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF (SDOG) applies a classic income strategy across the market by selecting the highest-yielding stocks in each sector, offering investors a way to capture dividends without concentrating in traditional income-heavy areas like utilities or real estate.

According to ETF Database, SDOG holds $1.25 billion in assets and has returned 10.1% year-to-date, while maintaining a yield cushion over broader market indexes through its equal-weight, sector-diversified approach.

The fund takes the “Dogs of the Dow” strategy — which focuses on high-yielding Dow components — and expands it across the S&P 500 universe, according to ETF Database. SDOG picks the five highest-yielding stocks from 10 of the 11 Global Industry Classification Standard sectors, leaving out real estate.

Each sector gets a 10% allocation, and each stock within a sector receives equal weighting, according to ETF Database. This structure means SDOG holds positions in areas like energy and materials alongside more defensive sectors.

The fund’s underlying index delivered a trailing twelve-month dividend yield of 3.68%, more than three times the S&P 500’s 1.09% yield, according to a recent quarterly insights report. The higher yield comes from overweight positions in traditionally income-focused sectors, with the fund holding 8.06% more in utilities, 7.90% more in materials, and 7.18% more in energy than the S&P 500.

Dividend ETF Structure and Positioning
The fund’s approach has resulted in holdings that trade at lower valuations than the broader market. The quarterly insights showed SDOG’s underlying index carried a price-to-earnings ratio of 17.90, compared to 28.13 for the S&P 500.

SDOG’s current holdings include technology names Seagate Technology Holdings (STX) and International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), energy producers Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) and Chevron Corp. (CVX), and pharmaceutical companies Pfizer Inc. (PFE) and AbbVie Inc. (ABBV), according to ETF Database.

The equal-weight methodology means SDOG avoids the concentration risk that comes with market-cap-weighted approaches. The fund holds 52 positions distributed across its 10 target sectors, according to ETF Database.

VettaFi LLC (“VettaFi”) is the index provider for SDOG, for which it receives an index licensing fee. However, SDOG is not issued, sponsored, endorsed, or sold by VettaFi, and VettaFi has no obligation or liability in connection with the issuance, administration, marketing, or trading of SDOG.

November was a tricky month for large- and megacap growth stocks. That was highlighted by the Nasdaq-100 (NDX) and S&P 500 Growth indexes finishing in the red in the 11th month of the year. Those negative performances were largely attributable to what some market observers are dubbing an AI “freak-out” or “shake-out.” But the encouraging news for investors considering AI-heavy ETFs such as the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) and the Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM) is that those funds rebounded late last month.

More important than a few days of strength for QQQ and QQQM is the sentiment that the AI investment thesis, though recently battered, remains intact. It may be positioned for another year of upside in 2026.

AI Sell-Off Was a Drag, Not a Death Sentence
Many market participants have grown accustomed to the marquee holdings in ETFs such as QQQ and QQQM leading broader equity gauges. So when those stocks pullb ack, some investors become jittery. However, the recent AI pull-back could prove to be nothing more than a healthy correction.

“I think you just had a moment where people decided to exercise some selling pressure,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief strategist at Solas Alternative Asset Management, in a recent CNBC interview. “And to me, it was momentary. It’s not emblematic of anything longer lasting.”

For investors considering adding to existing QQQ/QQQM positions in the new year or entering those ETFs, there are other sources of encouragement. Greenhaus pointed out the themes of AI leadership and Federal Reserve rate cuts. Those cuts often benefit growth stocks, which would be likely to remain alive and well in 2026.

Additionally, the AI adoption theme is expected to again be front-and-center next year. The evidence is there to support that notion. And it could be indicative of looming catalysts for QQQ and QQQM.

“I read a bunch of conference calls, listened to a bunch where they talked about designing a marketing campaign… there was also a company that talked about designing a chemical product using proprietary corporate data and AI to design a brand-new product,” Greenhaus told CNBC.

For those concerned about all the AI bubble talk, Greenhaus noted that, as was the case during the 1990s internet boom, some of today’s AI investments won’t bear fruit. But those expenditures are laying the foundation “for what eventually became quite substantial businesses.” That indicates QQQ and QQQM still merit consideration by investors with extended holding periods.

Key Takeaways Resmed's robust mask portfolio, including AirFit and AirTouch, drives strong growth across key markets.RMD relies on strategic acquisitions like MEDIFOX DAN and MatrixCare to boost Residential Care Software.Resmed faces headwinds from macroeconomic challenges and intense competition impacting operations.
Resmed Inc. (RMD - Free Report) continues to see strong demand for its market-leading mask portfolio, including AirFit, AirTouch and other ranges. The company often relies on strategic acquisitions to strengthen its Residential Care Software business.Expansion efforts into international markets are also highly promising. Meanwhile, headwinds from macroeconomic challenges and intense competition raise concerns for Resmed’s operations.

In the past year, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock has rallied 2.1% against the 1.5% decline of the industry and a 14.7% rise of the S&P 500 composite.

The renowned medical device company has a market capitalization of $36.25 billion. RMD has an earnings yield of 4.4% compared to the industry’s flat yield. Resmed’s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 3.04%. 

Let’s dive deep.

Upsides for RMD StockRobust Mask Sales: In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, revenues from Resmed’s Masks and other businesses grew 12% year over year across the United States, Canada and Latin America, reflecting continued growth in resupply and new patient setups. The newly acquired VirtuOx, an independent diagnostic testing facility (IDTF) for sleep, respiratory and cardiac conditions, also added incremental revenues.

Furthermore, the company is focused on continued strategic expansion of the mask portfolio with new product innovation while driving mask resupply through education, awareness and execution. Resmed recently rolled out two new variants under its AirTouch F30i mask platform, marking the first of their kind in the market. The F30i comfort made its debut in Australia, while the F30i Clear was introduced in U.S. markets. Both these products expand its AirTouch portfolio of fabric-based mask offerings.

Strategic Pacts to Boost Residential Care Software Business: The business is a key enabler of the company’s Sleep and Breathing Health business. Resmed tends to opt for strategic buyouts to boost Residential Care Softwarerevenues, such as the 2022 acquisition of MEDIFOX DAN and MatrixCare. In 2016, it strengthened its global leadership in connected healthcare solutions with the addition of Brightree.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, revenues grew 6% on a reported basis and 5% in constant currency, supported by strong performance from MEDIFOX DAN, core Brightree platforms, and good growth in the MatrixCare home health business. As part of the 2030 operating model, Resmed is integrating the revenue and product functions of its Residential Care Software business into the broader organization, building on the previous integration of RCS finance, human resources, cybersecurity and marketing functions and many more.

Increased Focus on International Markets: Resmed is expanding its presence in high-growth markets like China, South Korea, India, Brazil and Eastern Europe by implementing long-term strategies to improve the quality of patient life and reduce overall healthcare costs.  Many countries’ national governments, including France, Japan and the United States, have adopted models and taken action to accelerate the adoption of digital health, leading to the rapid evolution of digital reimbursement models across the world. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, combined sales in the United States, Canada and Latin America, as well as in Europe, Asia and other regions, increased 10%.

What Concerns Resmed?A Challenging Macroeconomic Scenario: Resmed’s operations remain exposed to global macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical instability, the impact of tariffs and trade wars on its suppliers and other factors. These factors can potentially lower demand for its products and prices, reduce reimbursement rates by third-party payers and raise operating costs. Furthermore, the global supply chain may be affected, mainly through constraints on or increased cost of acquiring raw materials and electronic components, resulting in higher costs. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and volatility in capital markets could continue to adversely affect the company’s results of operations.

A Competitive Landscape: The market for SDB products is highly competitive with respect to product price, features and reliability. Resmed's primary competitors include Philips BV, DeVilbiss Healthcare and regional manufacturers. The disparity between the company's resources and those of its competitors may increase due to consolidation in the healthcare industry. Moreover, some of Resmed's competitors are affiliates of its customers, which may make it difficult for the company to compete with them.

RMD Stock Estimate TrendThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for RMD’s fiscal 2026 earnings per share (EPS) has edged up 0.2% to $10.81 in the past 30 days.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal 2026 revenues is pegged at $5.57 billion, up 8.3% from the year-ago reported figure.

Key PicksSome better-ranked stocks in the broader medical space are Globus Medical (GMED - Free Report) , Boston Scientific (BSX - Free Report) and Medtronic (MDT - Free Report) .

Globus Medical has an estimated 2025 earnings growth rate of 18.1% compared with the industry’s 13.6% growth. Shares of the company have risen 9% against the industry’s 1.5% fall. GMED’s earnings surpassed estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and missed on one occasion, the average surprise being 16.24%.

The drugmaker is testing its antipsychotic drug Cobenfy for the treatment of psychosis associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Buying the dips in shares of Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) has been the smart move every step of the way, as the AI data analytics titan has found a way to defy the doubters and soar higher just about every time.

Clairvest Group Inc.

TORONTO, Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clairvest Group Inc. (TSX: CVG) (“CVG”), today announced that it, together with Clairvest Equity Partners VI (“CEP VI”, collectively “Clairvest”), has signed an agreement to sell its minority interest in Acera Insurance Services Ltd. (“Acera” or the “Company”) as part of Acera’s merger with Navacord Corp., one of Canada’s top commercial insurance brokerages. CEO Lee Rogers, Chairman/President Andrew Kemp, Acera’s executive team and Acera’s employee shareholders will be rolling a significant amount of their equity into the merged entity. Closing, which is expected in the first quarter of calendar 2026, is subject to achieving certain closing conditions, including regulatory, court and shareholder approvals.

Acera was formed through the merger and recapitalization of Rogers Insurance and CapriCMW in September 2022. Today, Acera is one of Canada’s largest independent brokerages, with over 750 employee shareholders. The company provides property & casualty and group benefits insurance solutions to both commercial and personal clients. During Clairvest’s three-year partnership, Acera grew EBITDA by 70% and completed 24 tuck-in acquisitions.

The sale is expected to have a positive impact on CVG’s book value of approximately $4.00 per share upon closing over the carrying value as at September 30, 2025.

The proposed Acera-Navacord merger represents an excellent outcome for Navacord and Acera including their respective shareholders, employees and customers.

“We are very proud of what has been accomplished over the past three years. From the outset, Lee and Andrew demonstrated exceptional partnership and commitment to building a high-performance organization. It has been a privilege to support them through this phase of Acera’s growth, and we are excited to see the company continue its success in its next chapter with Navacord. Clairvest remains a committed investor in the insurance sector, building on our track record of success with Shepell-fgi, Digital Media Solutions, and now Acera,” said Mitch Green, Managing Director of Clairvest.

“Clairvest has been an instrumental partner from the very beginning. Their support was pivotal in catalyzing the merger transaction in 2022, and their guidance helped Acera accelerate its growth across Canada. Mitch, Ethan, and the Clairvest team brought analytical rigour and strategic insight, strengthening our business at every step. We are grateful for the partnership and proud of what we’ve built together,” said Lee Rogers, CEO of Acera.

“Acera is a great example of Clairvest’s entrepreneur-centric minority ownership investment program that supports transformative outcomes while allowing management partners to retain control. Much of Acera’s success is attributable to organizational alignment. We are excited to build on our success with this model in the insurance domain,” said Ethan Wolfe, Vice President of Clairvest.

Less than five months have passed since American Eagle's controversial Sydney Sweeney campaign, which led to accusations ranging from cluelessness to Nazi propaganda.

Key Takeaways JPMorgan aims to double its Swiss private banking business again by 2030 after strong recent growth.JPM's Swiss assets rose nearly 20% in 2024, driven by almost 50% growth in net new money.JPMorgan is expanding staff in Zurich and Geneva by over 30% to deepen UHNW coverage.
JPMorgan (JPM - Free Report) is sharpening its ambitions in Switzerland’s onshore private banking market, outlining a plan to double the business again by 2030 after having already doubled it between 2020 and 2024. The U.S. banking giant is embracing a straightforward thesis: the Swiss wealth landscape is in flux, with ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) clients seeking more choice.

Matteo Gianini, JPMorgan's head of Swiss private banking, told Reuters, “Our ambition as a firm is to be the premier international bank in Switzerland, and yes, with a strong footprint in the ultra-high-net-worth space.”

At the center of the strategy is a push upmarket. JPMorgan is focusing on clients with at least CHF 10 million in investable assets, aiming to deepen relationships with entrepreneurs, families and top-tier executives who value tailored portfolio construction and global access. The bank’s Swiss private banking assets totaled roughly $55.6 billion at 2024-end, with this year’s growth described as strong, nearly 20%, driven by almost 50% in net new money.

Execution hinges on people and presence. JPMorgan has already expanded staffing in Zurich and Geneva by about 30% and plans to more than double the workforce by the end of the decade, reinforcing advisory capacity and coverage across key Swiss wealth corridors.

The opportunity is partly cyclical and partly structural. In the wake of the UBS Group–Credit Suisse merger, client reallocation and diversification are accelerating. JPMorgan is positioning itself to capture that movement, seeking to grow faster than the broader Swiss onshore market and translate recent momentum into a durable franchise.

How are JPMorgan’s Peers Faring in Terms of Private Banking?Two of JPMorgan’s close peers, Goldman Sachs (GS - Free Report) and Morgan Stanley (MS - Free Report) , are taking several steps to expand their private banking operations.

Goldman is refocusing on Asset & Wealth Management, using its private wealth and banking/lending platform to deepen UHNW ties and build steadier fee income. Management fees and private banking/lending revenues have risen strongly since 2019, with the momentum expected to continue. Goldman is also enhancing advisor capabilities through the planned acquisition of Innovator Capital Management and a partnership with T. Rowe Price.

Morgan Stanley’s private banking offering is embedded in its Wealth Management division, providing cash management, deposits and credit, especially portfolio-based lending and mortgages, around advisory relationships. Morgan Stanley’s private banking business growth is increasingly lending-led. Wealth Management loans rose almost 12% year over year to $173.9 billion as of Sept. 30, 2025.

JPMorgan’s Price Performance, Valuation and EstimatesJPMorgan shares have gained 28.4% so far this year.

From a valuation standpoint, JPM trades at a 12-month trailing price-to-tangible book (P/TB) of 3.09X, above the industry average.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for JPMorgan’s 2025 earnings implies a 2.5% rise on a year-over-year basis, while 2026 earnings are expected to grow at a rate of 4.7%. In the past 30 days, earnings estimates for 2025 and 2026 have moved upward.

This caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase aTyr’s securities at artificially inflated prices.

In the EFZO-FIT study, efzofitimod failed to show any change in mean daily oral corticosteroid (OCS) dose at week 48, with the OCS dose reducing by an average of 2.79mg for 5.0 mg/kg efzofitimod compared to 3.52 mg for placebo. Complete steroid withdrawal was achieved for 52.6% of patients treated with 5.0 mg/kg efzofitimod versus 40.2% on placebo.

After aTyr Pharma released the results, its stock dropped by 83.25%, from a September 12th market close of $6.03 to a September 15th market close of $1.01.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.  

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding aTyr’s conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Franklin Templeton’s upcoming Solana ETF moved closer to the US market this week after NYSE Arca approved its listing. The decision completes the last regulatory step before the fund begins trading. Market participants expect the launch within days. 

The entry of another major asset manager signals rising demand for Solana-focused investment products as inflows continue across similar funds. Besides this momentum, Solana’s market performance has strengthened, adding more attention to the ETF’s debut.

NYSE Arca Greenlights the New Solana ETFNYSE Arca’s new filing with the SEC confirmed that Franklin Templeton’s Solana ETF secured listing approval. This approval places the firm among the most recent issuers expanding into Solana-based products. The ETF will list under the ticker SOEZ and will track the CF Benchmarks Solana Index.

Franklin submitted its final documents last week. Hence analysts expect the fund to begin trading soon. The company recently launched an XRP ETF, signaling a steady expansion across digital asset markets. 

Additionally, its crypto index ETF now includes Solana and several other networks. The firm adopted this broader approach after Cboe’s updated listing standards received regulatory clearance earlier this year.

Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, said, “Investors are looking beyond the first generation of digital assets for exposure to networks demonstrating real-world adoption at scale, strong community, or functional utility across payments, smart contracts, or data connectivity.” He added that the index now captures a wider range of use cases, allowing EZPZ to evolve alongside the market.

Solana Price Extends Gains as Trendline Support HoldsSolana traded around $141.57 in the past 24 hours, recording a 10.30% daily increase and sustaining weekly gains. The asset’s market cap reached $79.17 billion with trading volume above $7.8 billion.

Analyst Ali Martinez noted that Solana continues to respect a long-term ascending trendline that has held since early 2023. Each major retest produced strong rebounds, including moves from $16, $12, and more recently from the $120 area. The latest decline again met buyers along this line, reinforcing its importance.

Consequently, the key resistance remains at $170. A decisive break could open targets near $200 and $239. Moreover, Martinez observed that the bullish structure stays intact as long as SOL holds above the rising trendline, now aligned with the $120–$130 zone.
