Management Commentary

“During the third quarter of 2025, we experienced a gradual but meaningful improvement in market rates for the vessel segments in which we operate. The quarter ended at significantly higher levels than it began with, our nimble chartering strategy allowed us to effectively capture the upward momentum. This positive trend continued into the fourth quarter of 2025, with rates for midsize bulk carriers currently ranging around $15,000 and $18,000 per day. Our modern fleet is well positioned to benefit from these conditions through short-term and index-linked chartering arrangements that provide direct exposure to improving market fundamentals. Asset values remain elevated, and sale-and-purchase activity has been strong across the market.

“Operationally, we completed the dry-docking of one vessel during the quarter, which temporarily affected utilization. Although the work experienced a minor delay due to unforeseen circumstances, the final outcome met our expectations and costs remained within acceptable levels.

“Construction of our two Ultramax newbuildings in Japan, scheduled for delivery in 2026, is progressing according to plan. These fuel-efficient vessels will enhance our operational flexibility and are well received by charterers.

“We also secured financing for both newbuildings from Japanese institutions on what we consider attractive terms. In parallel, we amended one of our existing credit facilities, achieving a reduced margin and an extended maturity, with a long-standing financial partner.

“Looking ahead, market conditions remain constructive. We see encouraging signs across several dry bulk trade routes and are optimistic about the outlook for the midsize bulker segment. We look forward to operating our fully delivered fleet, generating sustainable cash flows, and delivering meaningful returns to shareholders.”

Recent Developments

Sale of vessel

On February 4, 2025, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell the 2007-built River Globe for a gross price of $8.55 million before commissions and expenses. The vessel was delivered to her new owners on March 17, 2025.

Debt financing

In September 2025, the Company amended its CIT loan facility with First Citizens Bank & Trust Company, extending the termination date of Tranches F and G to August 10, 2027, to align with Tranches H and I. The amendment also revised the repayment schedules for the affected tranches and reduced the applicable margin for all tranches from 2.70% to 1.95%. The Company determined that the changes did not substantially modify CIT Loan Facility’s terms and the Company recognized a gain on modification which amounted to $461 thousand.

The Company, through its subsidiaries, has arranged a $25 million loan facility and a $28 million sale and bareboat back agreement for its two vessels under construction, which are scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2026.

Revenue
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, our Revenues reached $12.6 million and $8.95 million, respectively. The 41% increase in Revenues is primarily attributable to the higher average number of vessels operated by the Company during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The Company operated an average fleet of 9 vessels in the third quarter of 2025, compared to an average of 6.7 vessels during the corresponding period in 2024. Furthermore, the Daily Time Charter Equivalent rate (TCE) for the third quarter of 2025 was $14,702 per vessel per day against $13,867 per vessel per day during the same period in 2024 corresponding to an increase of 6%.

Revenue
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, our Revenues reached $30.8 million and $26.2 million, respectively. The 18% increase in Revenues is primarily attributable to the higher average number of vessels operated by the Company during the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The Company operated an average fleet of 9.3 vessels in the first nine months of 2025, compared to an average of 6.8 vessels during the corresponding period in 2024. Conversely, the daily Time Charter Equivalent rate (TCE) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, was $11,705 per vessel per day, compared to $13,450 per vessel per day for the same period in 2024, representing a 13% decline, which is attributed to the worse conditions throughout the bulk market for the first six months of 2025. This decrease is attributed to unfavourable market conditions in the bulk shipping sector during the first half of 2025.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest and finance costs net, gains or losses from the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments, foreign exchange gains or losses, income taxes, depreciation, depreciation of dry-docking costs, amortization of fair value of time charter acquired, impairment and gains or losses on sale of vessels. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) or cash generated from operations, as determined by IFRS, and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which we assess our financial performance and because we believe that it presents useful information to investors regarding a company’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness and it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs; andOther companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income/(loss) and net cash generated from/(used in) operating activities for the periods presented:

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 28, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of common stock of StubHub Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: STUB) pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement issued in connection with StubHub's September 2025 initial public offering (the "IPO"). A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 23, 2026.

SO WHAT: If you purchased StubHub common stock 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 StubHub class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48412 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 23, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved, 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, the Registration Statement was materially false and misleading and omitted to state that: (1) StubHub was experiencing changes in the timing of payments to vendors; (2) those changes had a significant adverse impact on free cash flow, including trailing twelve months ("TTM") free cash flow; (3) as a result, StubHub's free cash flow reports were materially misleading, and that; (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about StubHub's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the StubHub class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48412 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information.

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

Brazilian state-run oil firm Petrobras expects to maintain its oil production at some 2.6 million or 2.7 million barrels per day until 2034 after ramping up around 2027, Chief Executive Officer Magda Chambriard said on Friday.

These stocks can power your returns for years to come.

Holding shares of growing companies is one of the most efficient ways to build wealth over time. The key is to maintain a long-term mindset, ignore short-term volatility in the stock market, and concentrate on investing in companies that possess a competitive edge.

Here are two growth stocks that would make solid investments right now.

Image source: Getty Images.

1. Reddit
Reddit (RDDT +4.29%) has quickly become one of the top three most visited sites in the U.S., turning the conversation-driven social media platform into a magnet for advertisers. Its momentum also illustrates a significant competitive advantage for Reddit, as people seek authentic, human-created content in an increasingly artificial intelligence (AI)-driven world.

Reddit has become a popular platform for discussing a wide range of topics. The company has released numerous enhancements, including AI features, to make it easier to discover new content and help publishers and advertisers gain more visibility in front of a large user base. Reddit saw its daily active users surge 19% year over year in the third quarter, reaching 116 million.

Current Price

The stock sold off earlier this year as investors wondered whether AI models like ChatGPT would divert users and pressure Reddit's growth. But it's looking more like the opposite. Reddit appears to be benefiting from AI features, such as AI-powered language translation, which is fueling its international growth. Higher user engagement is driving growth in ad spending, resulting in a 68% year-over-year increase in Reddit's revenue to $585 million last quarter.

Perhaps the best reason to consider investing in Reddit is that it is proving it can scale the business profitably. Reddit reported a net profit of $163 million last quarter. On a trailing-12-month basis, Reddit generated $509 million in free cash flow, representing a 387% year-over-year increase.

Analysts project that free cash flow will grow at a 62% annualized rate to reach $2.4 billion by 2029. At a minimum, this growth should double the share price in the next five years.

2. MercadoLibre
MercadoLibre (MELI +1.78%) is the leading e-commerce company in Latin America, with a long runway of growth ahead of it. It had over 110 million unique buyers on its e-commerce marketplace last year, generating $56 billion in quarterly gross merchandise volume. Its leading e-commerce platform and fintech business has a significant opportunity to serve a large underbanked population across Latin America.

MercadoLibre's e-commerce marketplace feeds off the growth of its fintech services. For example, the payment methods it offers through the Mercado Pago fintech business accounts for approximately a quarter of the transactions in its marketplace.

The company leverages its extensive customer data to evaluate credit risk, driving significant growth in new products, such as credit cards. In Brazil, it issued 1.3 million new cards to customers last quarter, indicating rapid adoption. Its credit portfolio grew 83% year over year to $11 billion last quarter.

MercadoLibre has multiple avenues for business growth. Revenue increased 39% year over year in the last quarter. This marked the 30th consecutive quarter of 30% or more growth. It is rare to find businesses that have been operating for over two decades and have maintained this level of growth.

The stock's valuation looks attractive. The shares are trading at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 3.8. This is toward the low end of its 10-year range, where it traded between a P/S multiple of 3.6 and 25.9. With analysts expecting revenue to grow at an annualized rate of 24% through 2029, investors can expect the stock to at least double in value in the next five years.

Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NLY - Free Report) shares touched a new 52-week high of $22.80 during Wednesday's trading session. However, the stock closed the session a little lower at $22.67.

Over the past three months, NLY shares have gained 7% outperforming the industry’s growth of 0.2%. Further, it fared better than its close peers, Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. (IVR - Free Report) and Two Harbors Investment Corp. (TWO - Free Report) .

Price Performance

Factors Fueling NLY MomentumEasing Mortgage Rates: The Federal Reserve has reduced policy rates twice in 2025 and has remained cautious about delivering a potential third cut by year-end. Given this, mortgage rates are easing. Per a Freddie Mac report, the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 6.23% as of Nov. 26, 2025, down from 6.26% in the previous week and 6.81% in the same week a year ago.

Given the decline in mortgage rates, purchase originations are likely to improve in the upcoming period. Refinance volumes are also expected to rise due to the gradual fall in borrowing costs.

This will likely to boost net interest spread, improving the portfolio’s overall yield, supporting the financials of NLY in the upcoming period.

Prudent Investment Strategy: The company follows a disciplined investment strategy, focusing on careful asset selection and effective capital allocation to achieve stable and consistent returns. It primarily invests in traditional Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBSs), which offer downside protection, while also targeting non-agency and credit-focused asset classes to enhance overall returns. Its scaled mortgage servicing rights (MSR) platform benefits from a low prepayment environment, and the company continues to strengthen this platform through strategic partnerships. In October 2025, Annaly entered a long-term subservicing and MSR purchase agreement with PennyMac Financial Services, leveraging PennyMac’s robust servicing infrastructure and recapture capabilities to expand scale and improve operational efficiencies. As of Sept. 30, 2025, Annaly’s total investment portfolio stood at $97.8 billion, reflecting a balanced and diversified approach designed to support long-term growth.

Agency MBS Exposure Provides Downside Protection: Annaly benefits from a significant allocation to Agency MBS, backed by government-sponsored enterprises, which ensures principal and interest payments and makes these investments relatively safer. Management remains optimistic about the 2025 outlook, noting that Agency MBS currently offers attractive relative returns compared with funding costs. As of Sept. 30, 2025, $87.3 billion of Annaly’s portfolio consisted of highly liquid Agency MBS, most of which carry an actual or implied ‘AAA’ rating, supporting attractive risk-adjusted returns in the fixed-income markets and reinforcing the company’s defensive positioning.

Decent Liquidity Position: Annaly continues to prioritise liquidity and prudent leverage management to navigate market volatility effectively. As of Sept. 30, 2025, the company held $8.8 billion in total assets available for financing, including $5.9 billion in cash and unencumbered Agency MBS, providing ample liquidity during adverse market conditions. This decent liquid position equips Annaly to sustain its operations and capitalize on opportunities, even amid periods of economic stress and financial-market uncertainty, reinforcing its overall financial resilience.

Sustainable Capital Distribution: Annaly has demonstrated a continued focus on shareholder returns through disciplined capital management. On Jan. 31, 2025, the company’s board approved a new common share repurchase program, authorizing up to $1.5 billion in buybacks through Dec. 31, 2029. While no shares have been repurchased under this plan yet, the program provides significant flexibility.

Apart from the share repurchase program, the company pays regular dividends. In March 2025, NLY raised its cash dividend by 7.7% to 70 cents per share. Over the past five years, the company has raised its dividend once. Its current dividend yield stands at 12.3%, slightly above the industry average of 12.1%, while Invesco Mortgage and Two Harbors Investment offer yields of 16.7% and 13.3%, respectively.

Dividend Yield

What’s Hurting NLY’s GrowthMarket Volatility: NLY’s operating performance is closely tied to broader financial markets and macroeconomic conditions. Volatility in mortgage markets, interest-rate swings, and adverse shifts in the yield curve may affect its investments. Despite the Federal Reserve reducing policy rates, elevated mortgage rates continue to pressure fixed-income assets and widen spreads. As a result, near-term benefits may be muted, and the company’s performance could remain constrained under persistent market and macroeconomic uncertainties.

Portfolio Adjustments Amid Market Volatility: The company actively adjusts its investment portfolio to navigate evolving financial conditions. With a hedge ratio of 92% as of the third quarter of 2025, the company prioritizes risk and liquidity management. Consequently, in the short term, strong returns may remain limited, and book value could be affected, reflecting a cautious approach to current market volatility.

NLY's Estimates and Valuation AnalysisAnalysts maintain a neutral stance on the company’s earnings growth potential. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings for 2025 and 2026 has remained unchanged. The projected figure implies a growth of 7.4% for 2025 and 1.5% for 2026.

Estimates Revision Trend
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

From a valuation perspective, NLY appears expensive. The company’s 12-month trailing price to book (P/B) ratio of 1.17X is above the industry’s 0.97X. Meanwhile, Invesco Mortgage has a trailing P/B ratio of 0.90X while Two Harbors Investment is trading at 0.91X.

Price-to-Book TTM

Parting Thoughts on NLY StockAnnaly’s new 52-week high reflects improving sentiment around mortgage rates, stronger portfolio stability, and ongoing strategic enhancements in its MSR platform and Agency MBS allocation. The company’s disciplined investment posture, ample liquidity, and commitment to shareholder returns add to its appeal, especially for income-focused investors.

However, valuation remains stretched relative to the industry, and heightened market volatility could restrain near-term performance. With earnings estimates holding steady and macro uncertainty still in play, NLY may offer attractive long-term defensiveness but limited short-term upside. As such, investors should weigh the company’s solid fundamentals against broader interest-rate risks before making new allocations at current levels.

NLY currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Here are some of the major companies whose stocks moved on the week's news.

Solar radiation may corrupt data critical to flight controls, creating safety issues

Boosty Labs, a blockchain infrastructure developer, has put forward a detailed design for a Tron Settlement Batching Layer. The proposal went live on the CTDG Dev Hub on Nov. 14, opening it up for public review from validators, developers, and community members.

The precious metals are breaking out beyond all-time highs, that, in the case of silver, had stood for several decades. Now the dam has broken, and the usual banks are seemingly unable to keep the lid on, who knows how far the prices can go? All this said, Bitcoin (BTC) is likely to outperform them both. Stand by for the most amazingly bullish rally into 2026.

$5,000 next target for gold

Source: TradingView

Since breaking out beyond $2,000 back in February 2024, the gold price has risen as much as 112%. Having consolidated above $4,000, the gold price looks as though it is now ready to go a lot higher. $5,000 is the next target, and given the amount of new money about to enter the system due to government printing, it might not take too long to get there.

Silver breaks beyond all-time high

Source: TradingView

Nevertheless, it’s silver that is really shocking the market right now. Since its breakout only 4 months or so ago, the price has increased 66%. Today, the silver price has broken beyond the recent all-time high at just above $54 and is currently motoring at $55.56. Fibonacci extension levels in the chart above give an idea of future targets, although $100 would probably be a decent bet in the next year or so. 

Momentum about to switch from gold to BTC

Source: TradingView

Back to gold, and this time in relation to $BTC (BTCUSD/XAU), it can be seen that the ratio has been very much in favour of gold over the last few months, if not the last year. From a high of 41 ounces of gold to 1 BTC to the current 21.7 ounces, this has been a real drawdown at the expense of BTC. 

However, a cross-up for the Stochastic RSI indicators on the 2-week chart is no mean feat. This could be signalling the start of very strong momentum in favour of BTC, which could take the digital asset back to the highs against gold. Nonetheless, this remains to be seen. If BTC failed to make a higher swing high, this would mean that gold would remain the dominant asset.

High time frame momentum indicators about to favour BTC over silver

Source: TradingView

The BTCUSD/SILVER chart looks more pronounced in favour of silver than it does for gold. This may be because the silver price is running wild right now, having just broken out from that recent all-time high. 

That said, this is the monthly chart, and just as for the 2-week and the weekly, the Stochastic RSI indicators are at the bottom and ready to rise. When they do, the momentum will begin to swing back in favour of $BTC. It may be that the ratio goes all the way to the 0.786 first. This remains to be seen.

ConclusionBoth gold and silver are running hot right now. Precious metals have arguably been manipulated, with the prices forced down for decades. It looks as though this has come to an end, and therefore gold and silver may be reacting like beachballs that have been kept underwater for a long time but have now been let loose.

Nevertheless, a currently unloved asset called Bitcoin is about to step back into the fray. It has arguably reached a bottom against the US dollar, and it looks like it is only a matter of time before it starts outperforming the metals again. 

What some of the top analysts will say though is that having one of these assets is a great addition to one’s portfolio. Having all three is a winning combination.

The price of Binance Coin (BNB) has ended its decline above the $800 support level.

BNB price long-term prediction: bearish

The price indicator previously forecast that BNB would fall to $817.81, representing the 1.618 Fibonacci extension. Nonetheless, BNB has been rising since the price slump halted.

On the upside, if the ascending trend breaks above the 21-day SMA, BNB could reach a high of $1,050. Today, BNB is down after failing to break above the 21-day SMA barrier. If the bears breach the $800 support, BNB will fall further to $732. BNB is currently worth $888.

Technical indicators:  

Resistance Levels – $1,000, $1,050, $1,200

Support Levels – $900, $850, $800 

BNB price indicator reading

The 21-day and 50-day moving averages are trending downward. The 21-day SMA acts as a resistance line close to the price bars. A bullish trend will begin when buyers break through the 21-day SMA barrier. On the 4-hour chart, the price bars are above the downward-sloping moving average lines, indicating a likely surge in the cryptocurrency.

What is the next direction for BNB/USD?

BNB's price has been trading above the $800 support but below the $900 high since November 21. The upward trend has been halted above the $900 resistance level, but it has dipped above the moving average lines. The rising movement will begin after buyers surpass the resistance near $900.

Otherwise, BNB will maintain its range-bound movement above the recent high.

Michael Saylor, a popular Bitcoin advocate and MicroStrategy’s founder, has once again stirred bullish reactions following his recent post, stating that today is Black Friday.

In a recent X post on Friday, November 28, Saylor issued a subtle reminder, “It’s ₿lack Friday,” suggesting that he considers Bitcoin’s current trading price a discount, potentially indicating that he may be preparing for another strategic BTC accumulation for Strategy.

Michael Saylor set for another Bitcoin buy?While Saylor is renowned for his long history of consistently buying Bitcoin regardless of market conditions, he also has a record of turning market dips into buying opportunities.

HOT Stories

Across the global space, Black Friday is known to be a key signal for discounts, shopping frenzies, and high bonuses in every market structure.

This also extends to the crypto ecosystem, as Bitcoin traders often interpret the day as an opportunity to scoop tokens at lower prices compared to the wealth they believe it will eventually create.

You Might Also Like

While Saylor’s post resonates with the belief of the crypto community, commentators also emphasized that, while Black Friday is generally recognized as a day for shopping, it is a day for concentrated positioning and volatility for Bitcoin, marking a perfect buying opportunity.

Thus, with Bitcoin hovering around $91,000 after a recent pullback, many interpreted his “Black Friday” post as a subtle signal that he is preparing for another one of his regular Bitcoin purchases.

In agreement with Saylor’s post, one of the comments reaffirmed that a day like this is a reminder that hard money goes on sale before the world notices. Hence, Bitcoin holders are advised to stack up while many might still be ignorant.

Bitcoin’s response to Black Friday callWhile Bitcoin has remained on the positive side of the market amid the Black Friday call, its price has reclaimed its long-lost $92,000 level, showing a decent increase of 0.17% over the last day.

Market watchers believe that this is just the start of its next big rally, predicting a Big December that could see it reclaim the crucial $100,000 support level as the market recovers from recent pullbacks.

Nonetheless, it is important to note that whether or not MicroStrategy is preparing to add more Bitcoin to its already massive treasury remains unconfirmed, as no update has been shared on the matter.

TL;DR

Bitcoin Cash’s price is holding above $500 as whales accumulate positions, creating conditions for a potential rally.
The token remains stable near $540 with firm technical support and momentum signals boosted by Bitcoin’s rebound and network adoption.
The accumulation of more than 140,000 BCH in the $525–$550 range indicates that large holders are preparing the token for a new bullish leg.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is holding its support above $500 as whales continue to accumulate, fueling expectations of a short-term rally.

The token is trading around $540 with $594 million in daily volume and a modest 1% increase, consolidating its level after a period of stability that has helped investors gauge buying and selling pressure.

Bitcoin Cash Pulled Back From the Edge and Is Preparing for a Rally
Bitcoin’s rebound above $92,000 has boosted confidence in tokens tied to its ecosystem, and BCH is among the main beneficiaries. While altcoins like Monero posted notable gains, others such as Zcash retraced, creating a mixed picture but still showing clear signs of strength for Bitcoin Cash. The stability above $500 underscores the importance of technical support and investor confidence in the token.

Bitcoin Cash’s history shows that it hit lows of $258 in April and climbed to $650 in September, supported by a bullish market backdrop and growing adoption in payments. The network has strengthened its value proposition through the development of smart-contract capabilities, attracting developers and fostering ecosystem growth.

Institutional interest and expectations around spot ETF approvals have also funneled capital into altcoins like BCH. Analysts further highlight the impact of monetary policy: the possibility of a rate cut by the US Federal Reserve is creating a favorable environment for additional upside in altcoins.

Whales Move More Than 140,000 BCH
From a technical standpoint, the daily RSI sits at 53, showing neutral momentum with room for further upside. The presence of stable support around $500 reinforces the idea that the token may consolidate gains before attempting higher moves.

Whale activity adds another layer of optimism. Analysts recorded more than 140,000 BCH traded within a single hour in the $525–$550 range. This accumulation pattern suggests that large investors are preparing for a strong upward move. Once this exchange phase completes, Bitcoin Cash could begin a full rally, supported by technical strength, network adoption, and institutional capital inflows.

Cathie Wood, founder and CEO of ARK Invest, reiterated a bold forecast that Bitcoin could reach $1.5 million by 2030.

According to a recent webinar, she argued that the current downturn is a pause rather than the end of the cycle and said Bitcoin is only halfway through its four-year rhythm. Her stance comes as market swings have erased large sums and pushed out many investors.

Liquidity Flows And Fed Timing
Reports have disclosed that roughly $70 billion has already returned to financial markets since a brief US government funding gap ended, and ARK estimates as much as $300 billion could follow as the Treasury General Account is refilled.

Wood tied that potential return of cash to moves in central bank policy, noting that the Federal Reserve is expected to end its quantitative tightening program on December 1. She said that easing liquidity could lift both Bitcoin and stocks tied to artificial intelligence.

In this recent webinar, I discuss why the liquidity squeeze that has hit #AI and #crypto will reverse in the next few weeks, something the markets seemed to buy, and why AI is not in a bubble. The 123% increase noted below was in Palantir’s US commercial business last qtr.

Watch… https://t.co/GdBZtEQcxM

— Cathie Wood (@CathieDWood) November 26, 2025

Palantir’s US commercial revenue was highlighted during the talk, with a reported 123% increase last quarter used as an example of real business gains backing some market bets. Based on reports, Wood rejects the idea that gains in the AI sector are purely speculative, and she expects renewed money flows to help risk assets rebound.

Stablecoins And Gold In Play
According to ARK analysts, stablecoins have captured some of the transactional demand that once favored Bitcoin. At the same time, gold has shown solid returns this year, which the team says offsets part of the shift away from crypto for certain uses. That mix, they argue, changes how capital might move when liquidity returns.

BTCUSD now trading at $91,456. Chart: TradingView
Broader Bullish Views From Market Names
Several well-known investors continue to project high price targets for Bitcoin. According to public statements, Tom Lee of Fundstrat has said Bitcoin could hit $250,000 by 2025, pointing to supply limits and demand patterns.

Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya has floated targets in the range of $500,000 to $1,000,000, citing Bitcoin as a shelter in turbulent times.

Raoul Pal, the former Wall Street executive and founder of Real Vision, has also advocated for similar six-figure ranges driven by adoption and institutional interest. These voices are included to show the range of long-term expectations among prominent market watchers.

Cathie Wood thinks that Bitcoin could reach $1.5 million by 2030, while arguing the current dip is temporary and that the cycle has more to run. Returning liquidity and growing adoption could drive prices sharply higher, according to ARK Invest’s analysis.

TL;DR

Upbit transferred 20,000 ETH, worth approximately $61.2 million, to an unknown wallet, attracting attention from crypto trackers.
The move may influence Ethereum liquidity and market activity in the short term.
Analysts note that such large transactions could reflect operational or institutional strategies without causing immediate price volatility or triggering regulatory concerns.

Today, November 28, Whale Alert recorded a transfer of 20,000 ETH, valued at $61.2 million, from Upbit to an unidentified wallet. While large movements between exchange wallets are standard in crypto operations, the size and destination of this transaction have drawn attention from investors and analysts. Ethereum’s market responded with minimal disruption, highlighting the network’s ability to handle sizable transfers efficiently. The move also coincides with increased trading activity in decentralized finance protocols, suggesting a broader ecosystem response.

Upbit’s 20,000 ETH Transfer Highlights Operational Activity
Upbit, a major player in Asia’s cryptocurrency market, moved a significant amount of ETH to an unspecified wallet. The exchange has not issued a statement regarding the purpose, but experts suggest it may involve internal rebalancing, preparation for institutional trading, or liquidity optimization. Whale Alert confirmed the transaction, which appears to be part of routine operational activity rather than a response to security or regulatory events. Observers note that the transfer could also reflect strategic positioning ahead of upcoming Ethereum network updates, impacting liquidity allocation across exchanges.

Such transfers can provide insights into institutional behavior and market strategy. This 20,000 ETH shift is among the largest single transfers from Upbit in recent months, encouraging analysts to watch Ethereum liquidity and exchange flows closely.

Ethereum Stability Amid High-Volume Transfers
Ethereum maintained stable trading during the Upbit movement, with ETH priced at $3,081.15 and a market dominance of 11.84%. The fully diluted market cap stood at $371.88 billion, while 24-hour trading volume declined 18.65% to $17.51 billion. These metrics demonstrate the network’s resilience to large-scale transactions and its ability to absorb high-volume activity without sudden volatility. Analysts also highlight that the overall stable sentiment reflects confidence from both institutional and retail traders in Ethereum’s liquidity robustness.

Analysts note that while the transfer could affect short-term sentiment, Ethereum’s stability reflects a maturing market capable of handling significant exchange-level transactions. Similar movements may become increasingly common as institutional involvement in the crypto space grows.

In conclusion, Upbit’s 20,000 ETH transfer underscores the growing sophistication of exchange operations.

Avalanche Liquidation Map, Nov 28, 2025 | Source: Coinglass

According to Coinglass liquidation map data, there has been a sharp shift in AVAX futures positioning this week. Long open interest has risen to $51 million, while shorts have been trimmed to $19.6 million, reflecting a rotation toward upside continuation as AVAX reclaimed the critical $15 threshold.

Short traders now face concentrated liquidation exposure. Around $15.9 million of the $19.6 million in active short positions sit between $15 and $15.70. A break above $16 would trigger a cascading series of liquidations, potentially triggering a run toward $17 if bullish momentum sustains through the coming sessions.

AVAX Price Forecast: Can Bulls Confirm a Double-Bottom Reversal Toward $18?
Avalanche has validated a local double-bottom formation on the daily chart, with the $13.80 zone acting as structural support throughout November. Friday’s move above $15 marks a clean breakout above the neckline of the pattern, increasing probability of a sustained relief rally if bulls hold out for a close above $15.

Avalanche (AVAX) price forecast, Nov 28, 2025| Source: TradingView

Moreover, the Bollinger Bands curled upward after several weeks of compression, posing another critical bullish divergence signal. RSI has rebounded sharply from oversold territory, now printing above 44, indicating rising momentum but leaving ample room for further upside before hitting exhaustion. Within these conditions, a close above the mid-band near $15.10 strengthens bullish continuation toward the upper band at $17.90.

Extended momentum could stretch toward the $20 psychological threshold, aligning with the 50-day moving average.

On the downside, failure to hold $15 would invalidate the current bullish setup. A drop below $14.40 could expose the chart to a deeper pullback to $13.80.

BlackRock stepped up its crypto acquisition, buying $589 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum from Coinbase. The transactions coincided with a time the overall crypto market is recovering and institutional trading is on the rise.

BlackRock Crypto Inflows Soar To $589 Million In 3 Days
According to Onchain Lens citing Arkham data, BlackRock has received 4,044 BTC and 80,121 ETH in the last three days from Coinbase which works out to about $589 million.

The $589 million dollar is a combination of $354 million Bitcoin and $235 million Ethereum at their current market values. This is one of the biggest accumulations of any institutional ETF issuer of this month.

The transfers were executed in a few huge batches. In one window, there was a transfer of 300 BTC with several other ETH transfers within a few minutes’ interval. The trend represents a contrast to previous activities when BlackRock transferred millions in BTC and ETH to Coinbase.

This trend is backed by BTC price behavior. At the time of writing, BTC price has risen to around $91,552, following an intraday correction. The chart indicates an obvious turnaround as buyers intervened around the $91,000 mark. This recovery correlates with the overall market strength after significant price swings from earlier this week.

ETF Flows Enhances BlackRock’s Market Lead
The data from SoSoValue contributes to this trend. On November 26, BlackRock IBIT ETF had almost $43 million net inflows, the largest among other U.S. Bitcoin ETFs on that day.

On the contrary, Fidelity’s FBTC experienced more than $30 million in outflow, which implies a demand shift in favor of BlackRock. Grayscale’s GBTC recorded a minor inflow of $5.63 million, whereas there was an inflow of net-neutral in other issuers.

In the same time, Ethereum showed renewed momentum. ETH price was trading at about $3,022 following a slight increase in the last day. The chart displays a steep rise since around midday followed by a smooth consolidation above the $3,040 level before a pullback late afternoon.

BlackRock Records Largest Inflows Among Ethereum ETFs
On November 26, BlackRock ETHA recorded a net inflow of $50.22 million, which is a great margin from other Ethereum ETF issuers. ETHE by Grayscale was flat and Fidelity did not see any noticeable movement with its FETH.

However, Bitwise’s ETH ETF (ETHW) and Grayscale added ETH to its second Ethereum ETF with inflows of almost $4.4 million and over $6 million, respectively. This increase in the demand of ETFs is part of the overall growth of the firm in its digital asset exposure. A recent example is BlackRock’s launch of BUIDL on the BNB Chain.

These trends prove that BlackRock still controls the ETF markets of these major crypto assets. The inflows provide a positive indication that professional investors are taking positions ahead of the potential year-end catalysts.

In yet another show of long-term bullish bet, BitMine Immersion Technologies has added to its Ethereum holdings. The Nasdaq-listed company, chaired by renowned market strategist Tom Lee, added to its holdings on November 28, 2025, as the Ethereum price retested the $3,000 level.

TL;DR

Cardano is pushing a Critical Integrations Budget to fund tier-one stablecoins, institutional custody, cross-chain bridges, and pricing oracles.
The plan was designed jointly to accelerate the ecosystem’s connection to financial infrastructure used by developers, companies, and institutional capital.
The proposal now moves to DReps for review, and they must approve it before implementation.

Cardano introduced a governance proposal aimed at creating a Critical Integrations Budget and opening a new phase of development centered on real economic infrastructure.

What Does the Proposal Include?
The initiative was developed jointly by the Cardano Foundation, Input Output Global, EMURGO, Intersect MBO, and Midnight, marking an exceptional level of coordination among the organizations that sustain the network’s technical evolution. The goal is to fund a set of integrations the network still lacks and that are essential for competing in global markets where liquidity, institutional custody, and interoperability define a chain’s growth potential.

The proposal requires approval from DReps and subsequent confirmation by the Constitutional Committee. If it clears both stages, it will enable the implementation of several pieces of critical infrastructure. These include tier-one stablecoins to expand available liquidity and support the use of financial applications.

It also includes the integration of institutional-grade custody solutions that would allow professional capital to enter the ecosystem and reduce operational risks for corporate participants. The budget further includes advanced on-chain analytics tools to improve visibility into network activity and provide precise data to developers, users, and institutions.

The plan adds two key components to close gaps the ecosystem has carried over from previous market cycles: cross-chain bridge infrastructure and globally recognized price oracles. Bridges aim to facilitate capital mobility and connect Cardano with networks that process higher volumes. Oracles aim to improve the quality of the data used by financial applications, a requirement for attracting projects that depend on reliable and standardized metrics.

The Cardano Community Will Vote on the Proposal
The organizations driving the proposal identified these elements as the most relevant gaps limiting Cardano’s liquidity, accessibility, and interoperability. The budget acts as a mechanism to coordinate efforts, eliminate duplication, and set clear priorities at a time when the network needs to accelerate its integration with real markets and strengthen its economic base.

The project now moves to community review. DReps must analyze it and cast their votes, while a Steering Committee will address frequently asked questions over the coming days. The process represents one of the most extensive coordination exercises in Cardano’s history and aims to establish the foundation for a new phase of sustained growth

BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE:BMNR) has added another $44 million in Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), landing fresh on-chain buys as Tom Lee doubles down on his call for ETH to hit $7,000 to $9,000 by early 2026.

Arkham Data Shows Fresh $44M Ethereum PurchaseLookonchain reported on Friday that BitMine acquired 14,618 ETH using a wallet identified as "0xbd0…E75B8."

The transaction occurred at roughly 5:07 p.m. on Thursday, according to Arkham-linked tracking.

BitMine has not confirmed the transaction, leaving the disclosure dependent on blockchain intelligence data.

The purchase follows BitMine's $200 million Ethereum addition earlier this week.

The company now holds 3,629,701 ETH, valued near $10.9 billion under its last confirmed disclosure.

Its holdings represent almost 3% of Ethereum's circulating supply, based on recent estimates.

BitMine has repeatedly stated a long-term goal of controlling 5% of total supply.

The company has also emphasized Ethereum's expanding presence in financial market infrastructure.

Tom Lee Delivers Aggressive Ethereum ForecastBitMine Chair Tom Lee offered a bullish outlook for Ethereum during a recent interview.

He said ETH could bottom near $2,500 before rising toward $7,000 or even $9,000 by late January 2026.

Lee argued that Ethereum's neutrality and scaling progress align with broader institutional demand.

Lee added that he anticipates a dovish Federal Reserve stance before year-end.

He believes improved clarity could help ease pressure across digital asset markets.

Lee also forecast Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) moving above $100,000 once conditions stabilize.

BMNR Stock Still Trades In A Heavy Downtrend

BMNR Price Prediction As Of November 28th (Source: TradingView)

BMNR continues to trade within a multi-week decline despite the new blockchain activity.

The stock remains below its descending trendline and the Supertrend resistance near $36.29.

This structure keeps sellers in control across most timeframes.

Price recently defended support at $23.86, creating a modest reaction.

However, BMNR remains below the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement near $33.77, limiting upward momentum.

A daily close above that level is required to confirm stabilization.

A trendline break could open a move toward $39.90 and $44.85.

These levels align with the 0.382 and 0.5 retracements, respectively.

Failure to reclaim that zone risks renewed selling toward the prior low at $23.86.

Bulls need a decisive move above $47.64 to shift the broader trend.

Gold has glittered this year. And there's good reason to expect the precious metal to continue hitting record highs in the year ahead.

Several Wall Street firms issued reports this week showing that analysts and investors believe the price of gold will rise in 2026, with some forecasting it could hit $5,000 per troy ounce, implying upside of about 20%. Many of the factors that have led investors to pour money into the traditional safe-haven asset are likely to remain in play, experts say.

Why This Matters
Gold has hit a series of record highs this year amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty that isn't expected to subside anytime soon. Some prominent investors have recently recommended that investors should increase their allocation to gold. Meanwhile, many Americans have rushed to sell gold jewelry to take advantage of high prices.

Goldman Sachs on Friday said that nearly 70% of institutional investors expect gold prices to continue rising, with 36% saying the price will top $5,000 by the end of 2026, according to a survey this month of more than 900 clients. Investors cited continued buying by central banks around the world and fiscal concerns as the biggest factors contributing to gold's rise.

Gold was trading at $4,220 an ounce Friday morning. (Read Investopedia's full coverage of today's trading here.)That's down from a record high just below $4,400 set in October, but still 60% higher than where it started 2025. Gold's price surge has far outpaced the performance of the benchmark S&P 500 stock index.

The weakness of the U.S. dollar, which has lost ground this year as concerns about rising U.S. government debt have grown, is also underpinning support for gold, along with concerns about geopolitical instability and stock market volatility.

Deutsche Bank this week raised its 2026 gold price forecast to $4,450 from $4,000 previously, projecting a range of $3,950-$4,950.

"Third quarter supply-demand data supports a continued central bank bid. The positive structural picture shows inelastic demand from central banks and ETF investment diverting supply from the jewelry market," Deutsche Bank said in a note to clients. "Also, overall growth in demand outpaces supply."

UBS believes that further weakening in the dollar, lower bond market returns, geopolitical uncertainty and fiscal concerns will all continue providing support for gold. The bank maintains an 'Attractive' stance on gold with a $4,500 price target for mid-year 2026, according to a Friday report.
