Avalanche prepares to activate Granite, an upgrade designed to optimize performance under heavy network demand while reinforcing its position in the DeFi ecosystem.
The move follows $1.4 billion in withdrawals and comes as several projects shift toward multichain operations.
Granite introduces improvements in speed, operational costs, and security tools that aim to expand institutional adoption and elevate overall network efficiency.
Avalanche moves forward with a strategic upgrade intended to strengthen its architecture at a time of sharp liquidity outflows in the DeFi sector. The network maintains solid developer activity and a steady pace of integrations, which continues to support interest in its infrastructure.
Granite Upgrade Strengthens Avalanche Architecture
Granite introduces three enhancements aimed at more adaptive processing. The network adjusts transaction finality speed based on traffic, improving operational stability. The upgrade also reduces cross-chain operational costs within the Avalanche ecosystem, a key factor for platforms that manage high transaction volumes. Additional testing carried out by independent developers showed notable gains in throughput during peak activity periods, reinforcing expectations that the upgrade can stabilize fee volatility across several subnets. Some teams running validator clusters also reported more predictable resource requirements under the new configuration.
Ava Labs noted that the new version allows settlement times under two seconds during high congestion. This positions Avalanche more competitively among leading layer-one chains seeking institutional integrations. Lending teams, perpetual markets, and infrastructure protocols had reported rising network-related costs, so the technical update arrives at a meaningful moment for ecosystem efficiency.
DeFi Outflows And Shift Toward Scalable Chains
Recent $1.4 billion DeFi outflows highlight a broader transition toward networks that offer lower friction and scalable infrastructure. Several platforms report that users increasingly adopt multichain strategies to balance cost and performance. Avalanche aims to reinforce its role as a flexible base layer for applications that require fast confirmations and stable liquidity conditions. Market analysts also noted that new liquidity programs from competing ecosystems may have accelerated the rotation, although Avalanche retains steady participation from long-term builders and infrastructure partners.
The upgrade adds optional biometric signing support, enabling fingerprint or facial verification within mobile applications. This feature provides smoother user interaction without compromising cryptographic security.
Avalanche activates Granite with the goal of strengthening its technical foundation and delivering a more efficient environment for developers and institutional participants. Despite the recent withdrawals, the network maintains significant activity, and the upgrade creates a more competitive framework for projects that prioritize speed, cost efficiency, and advanced integration capabilities.

Standard Chartered says bitcoin sell-off likely over, eyes year-end rally

Quick Take
Standard Chartered’s Geoffrey Kendrick says bitcoin’s recent drop mirrors prior corrections of similar magnitude over the past two years, suggesting the sell-off is likely finished.
Metrics such as MicroStrategy’s mNAV falling to 1.0 reinforce his view that the downside is over, with a year-end rally now his base case.
Bitcoin's recent correction appears to have run its course, according to Standard Chartered’s head of digital assets research Geoffrey Kendrick, who says the decline resembles earlier drawdowns of nearly identical magnitude over the past two years.
In a Tuesday note, Kendrick said the latest drop — though faster and more painful — matches the third major sell-off in the current cycle, pointing to chart patterns showing similar percentage pullbacks.
"It is a simple argument, but the best ones often are," he wrote.

Kendrick added that several market indicators have reset to extreme levels. One example is MicroStrategy’s net asset value multiple, or mNAV — a metric comparing the company's market cap with the marked-to-market value of its bitcoin holdings — which had fallen back to 1.0. He said these "absolute zero" readings suggest the market has hit a bottom.
"I think this is enough to signify the sell-off is over and to eventually disprove those who think the halving cycle remains valid," Kendrick wrote. "A rally into year-end is my base case."
Earlier this month, Kendrick reiterated his view that bitcoin’s drop below $100,000 may be the "LAST ONE EVER." But bitcoin still fell from above $105,000 to below $90,000 last week, erasing all of its year-to-date gains. It has since recovered slightly and is trading around $93,500, according to The Block’s bitcoin price page.
Bitcoin briefly touched about $89,420 earlier today — its lowest since February. Nansen research analyst Nicolai Sondergaard said market depth has fallen about 30% since the Oct. 10 record liquidation event, making prices highly sensitive to even modest selling. He added that while a dip toward the mid-$80,000s is possible based on options data, current levels or a rebound appear more likely.
"When liquidity is this thin, it takes far less capital to push the market in either direction, and when you layer leverage on top, volatility becomes inevitable," Sondergaard said.
Earlier today, analysts told The Block that bitcoin must reclaim the $95,000–$100,000 level to avoid further structural weakening as onchain stress and ETF outflows have intensified.
Kendrick had previously projected that bitcoin would reach $200,000 by year-end. When asked today whether he still holds that target, Kendrick declined to comment. His longer-term forecast, made earlier this year, sees bitcoin reaching $500,000 by 2028 on the back of growing investor access and declining volatility.

ETH falls into ‘buy zone,' but volatility-adverse traders take a wait-and-see approach
Ether’s 20% monthly decline has pushed it into a clear daily downtrend, retesting $3,000 for the first time since July.
The Mayer Multiple falling below 1 signals a historically strong accumulation zone, resembling past bottoming phases.
Leveraged liquidity has reset, but clusters at $2,900 and $2,760 warn of further volatility before a potential recovery.
Ethereum’s native token, Ether (ETH), has slipped nearly 20% in November, from $3,900 to retesting the $3,000 level on Nov. 17, a price last seen on July 15. The drawdown has pushed ETH into a well-defined daily downtrend, marked by consecutive lower highs and lower lows, placing the market in a technically fragile zone despite long-term accumulation signals starting to emerge.
Ether one-day chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewMayer Multiple drops below 1: What it means for ETHOne of those signals comes from Capriole Investments’ Mayer Multiple (MM), which measures the ratio between ETH’s current price and its 200-day moving average. A reading below 1 indicates Ether is trading at a discount to its long-term trend and has historically aligned with major accumulation zones.
Ethereum’s Mayer Multiple dropped below 1. Source: Capriole InvestmentsETH’s Mayer Multiple dropping below 1 for the first time since mid-June now places it back into the “buy zone,” a region that has previously preceded strong multimonth recoveries.
Throughout ETH’s history, sub-1 readings have typically indicated long-term bottoms, with the main exception being January 2022, when the metric remained suppressed due to the onset of a broader bear market.
At the moment, MM levels resemble early-cycle reset conditions rather than the structural breakdown seen in 2022, positioning the current market closer to historical buy opportunities than to distribution or selling zones (usually found when MM > 2.4).
Liquidity resets, but deeper clusters remainDespite the macro accumulation setup, short-term price action remains vulnerable. Data from Hyblock Capital shows that even after sweeping the key $3,000 psychological zone, ETH still sits above several dense long-liquidation clusters.
“We’ve swept quite a few large (bright) long liq clusters. The next two below on ETH are $2,904 to $2,916 and $2,760 to $2,772,” Hyblock noted, implying the market may require a deeper liquidity flush before forming a durable base.
ETH long liquidity cluster under $3,000. Source: Hyblock Capital/XAdding to this, analytics platform Altcoin Vector highlighted that Ether’s overall liquidity structure has “fully reset,” a condition historically present before every major bottom. According to the platform, liquidity collapses tend to precede multi-week bottoming phases rather than immediate structural breakdowns.
Altcoin Vector added that the correction window remains open as long as liquidity rebuilds: if replenishment occurs in the coming weeks, ETH could enter its next expansion phase. However, the longer liquidity takes to return, the more prolonged the grind becomes, and the more structurally exposed ETH becomes to more downside.

Model Shows How XRP Could Hit $24 After ETFs Go Live
A new pricing model from Diana, a crypto analyst on X, projects that XRP could climb into the $7–$24 range within 60 days of the ETF launch, driven strictly by inflow pressure and the asset’s constrained liquid supply. The model reportedly relies on supply-absorption math, revealing how ETF-driven demand could shift XRP’s market pricing once XRP ETFs go live.
New XRP ETF Inflow Model Maps A Direct Route To $24
Diana’s newly released “XRP ETF Launch Impact Model” outlines a clear, data-driven view on how ETF inflows alone could reprice XRP. Her framework tests multiple launch scenarios involving five to twenty ETFs, each seeded with $10 million to $45 million. Depending on the scale, total inflows range from $50 million to $900 million, absorbing between 0.08% and 1.50% of XRP’s estimated 60-billion-unit liquid supply.
Source: X
According to Diana’s projections, this level of liquidity absorption pushes XRP into a thirty-day range of $3.00 to $15.00, with the sixty-day window stretching from $3.80 up to $24.00. The top end of the model—where XRP approaches $24—emerges when twenty ETFs launch with maximum seed capital and nearly a billion dollars in early inflows. Diana argues that as issuers acquire XRP to build underlying exposure, the available float tightens, and the resulting supply squeeze forces a natural repricing cycle.
However, XRP’s real-time price action tells a different story. Despite the successful debut of the Canary XRP ETF, XRP has failed to respond positively. The latest market data shows the asset trading near $2.14, posting a 13.5% decline over the week. Even so, Diana maintains that early price weakness is typical during ETF rollout phases and believes the projected inflow dynamics still position XRP for a sharp upward revaluation once institutional allocations begin to materialize.
The Market Structure Delaying XRP’s Next Major Rally
In a separate post, Diana outlined the market pattern she believes has been driving XRP’s recent price behavior. According to her, traders typically buy ahead of an ETF launch to front-run expected demand, creating a pre-launch rally driven by speculation rather than institutional activity. Once the ETF goes live, those early buyers take profit, producing the sharp launch-day dip that often surprises retail investors.
Diana noted that institutional inflows never arrive on day one. Wealth managers move through compliance checks, committee approvals, and allocation cycles, meaning real capital enters the market weeks later. She pointed to Bitcoin’s January 2024 ETF rollout as the clearest example, where the asset fell at launch but later surged to new highs as regulated inflows matured.
She argues that XRP is showing the same early-stage pattern now: a weak market following the Canary ETF launch, profit-taking, and a temporary cooling phase. When these delayed inflows eventually begin to accumulate, Diana maintains that they will reinforce an upward pricing dynamic for XRP’s next major climb.

Tom Lee-backed Eightco Now Controls 10% of Sam Altman's Worldcoin (WLD)
Key NotesEightco Holdings now controls 272 million WLD tokens, establishing a major strategic treasury position.OpenAI secures $100 million multiyear integration deal with Intuit, covering products like TurboTax.Worldcoin's technical analysis suggests potential bullish reversal with falling wedge pattern formation.
Worldcoin
WLD
$0.69
24h volatility:
2.7%
Market cap:
$1.61 B
Vol. 24h:
$156.37 M
climbed 3% on Sept. 12 after Eightco Holdings disclosed control of more than 10% of the token’s circulating supply. The enterprise infrastructure firm now holds roughly 272 million WLD, along with 11,068 ETH and $58.2 million in liquid assets, solidifying one of the largest strategic treasury positions in the project.
According to the official press release, Worldcoin is further intensifying efforts in global digital biometric verification through the rollout of Infinity by ORBS, a proof-of-human authentication system designed for large-scale enterprise adoption.
Eightco’s milestone news coincides with another major deal between Worldcoin’s parent firm OpenAI and fintech firm Intuit. According to the Wall Street Journal, Intuit commits to spend more than $100 million on a multiyear plan to integrate OpenAI for its products including TurboTax, whose global user base surpasses 100 million, including 39.9 million in the US.
Shares of Intuit gained 2.6% in pre-market trading on Sept. 12, aligning with the WLD price uptick.
In October, Worldcoin entered a major partnership with fast-rising prediction markets platform Polymarket. The deal saw Polymarket offer a 10% deposit incentive for new WLD users.
Worldcoin Price Analysis: Falling Wedge Signals Early Bullish Reversal Attempt
From a technical perspective, the 12-hour chart shows WLD reclaiming the falling wedge floor after a multi-week downtrend in early November. While the Breakout Probability model shows a 62% chance of further upside, the Bollinger Bands indicate initial resistance at the mid-band resistance near $0.74. Moreover, the RSI at 40.16 signals more room to run before WLD approaches overbought territory.
A decisive breakout above the wedge’s upper trendline near $0.75 would clear the path for more optimistic targets above $1.10, as hinted by the Falling Wedge projection. Failure to reclaim the mid-band or a close below $0.62 would invalidate the bullish setup and prompt a reversal to new November lows.
Best Wallet Presale Crosses $17.2M as AI Sparks Investor Interest
As OpenAI’s latest moves boost investor confidence, early-stage AI-driven projects like Best Wallet (BEST) are gaining traction.
Best Wallet Presale
Best Wallet offers secure storage, staking rewards, and integrated multi-chain access, combining self-custody and passive income opportunities.
Best Wallet presale has now raised $17.2 million. Early participants have less than 24 hours to secure BEST tokens at $0.026 via the official Best Wallet website before the next price tier unlocks.

Revolut, Mastercard tap Polygon for new integrations
Revolut, Mastercard tap Polygon for new integrations

Quick Take
Revolut is embedding Polygon in its app to enable “zero-fee” remittances, POL staking, and in-app crypto card payments.
Other payment firms including Mastercard and DeCard have also recently announced Polygon integrations.
EU-based fintech giant Revolut has tapped Polygon as its "go-to stack for stablecoin transfers, payments, and trading."
"With over 65 million users across 38 countries, Revolut’s integration marks a pivotal moment, allowing users who opt-in to send and receive money via Polygon’s rails seamlessly, without high-fees or the silo of borders," Polygon Labs wrote in an announcement on Tuesday. "Native on- and off-ramps in the Revolut app ensure seamless user experience."
The move is part of a "first phase of close collaboration" between Revolut and Polygon, which has already become a dominant blockchain-based platform for the neobank's users. According to the release, Revolut users have processed more than $690 million in volume over Polygon as of November.
As part of the partnership, Revolut will integrate Polygon-based services directly into its app, unlocking easier stablecoin transfers and remittances using USDC and USDT, in-app crypto card payments, POL token staking.
"Gas costs on eligible transfers are covered, which means free transfers for users, and significant savings for cross-border remittances," Polygon Labs noted.
The announcement comes on the heels of Mastercard tapping Polygon to power the initial expansion of its Mastercard Crypto Credential identity solution to self-custody wallets, with Mercuryo as the first user. Polygon is also powering DeCard’s new merchant stablecoin feature and R25’s rcUSD+ digital dollar.
About $3.2 billion worth of stablecoins have been issued on Polygon, according to The Block's data dashboard.
Last month, Polygon rolled out its Rio upgrade that introduced stateless block verification and other significant changes to make the network faster and lighter for global payments and real-world asset use.

Home Depot said a lack of storms depressed October spending on repair-related materials and products, such as roofing and generators.

2025-11-18T16:16:48.224Z
Home Depot said that better-than-usual October weather led fewer shoppers to spend in the third quarter.
Fewer post-storm repairs will also likely drag on the fourth quarter's year-over-year results.
Other than the weather, the yearslong waiting game continues for a bounce-back in home improvement.
Bad weather is usually good business for companies that help people repair and rebuild. On the flip side, sales can suffer when the skies remain clear.
So it was for Home Depot, which said Tuesday that October's better-than-expected weather meant fewer shoppers came into its stores to spend in the third quarter.
"Our results were below our expectation, largely due to a lack of storms relative to historic norms," the retailer's head of merchandising, Billy Bastek, said on the third-quarter earnings call.
And not only has this year's weather been better than normal, last year was slightly worse than normal, which gave last year's numbers a lift and now makes year-over-year comparisons of Home Depot's sales look even tougher.
"We don't plan for storms per se, but there's, there's always some weather impact in the baseline," Home Depot CEO Ted Decker said on the call.
The executives also warned investors that fewer storms in one quarter also means fewer post-storm repairs in the next, so this year's fourth-quarter results could see a similar drag on sales.
"We're going to see even more quarter-over-quarter pressure from the storm activity," Decker said.
In addition to the hit to Home Depot's core retail business, the company also said the decrease in repair projects is contributing to softer sales at its recently acquired subsidiaries, GMS and SRS, which are distributors of specialty building and roofing supplies.
"SRS is much more in the re-roof than new construction," Decker said, "which is why it's disproportionately impacted with storms, particularly in their home and biggest market, which is Texas."
Setting aside the weather, Home Depot said the other pieces of the business continue to chug along as they have while the yearslong waiting game continues for a bounce-back in home improvement.
In short, some shoppers are still splashing out for higher-end appliances and tools, but many are deferring larger repair and renovation projects, especially if the project requires financing to complete.
Decker said that while contractors remain busy, job backlogs are starting to tick down, particularly for larger projects. And for many customers, factors like affordability, layoffs, and interest rates are still weighing on their decision to spend more.
"We still believe we have one of the healthiest consumer segments in the whole economy, but again, the economic uncertainty continues," Decker said.
The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Technology ETF (RSPT) has underperformed market cap weighted tech ETFs due to lack of mega cap exposure. RSPT's higher expense ratio and greater volatility, driven by smaller company holdings, diminish its appeal compared to XLK and VGT. Mega cap tech companies like NVDA, AAPL, and MSFT possess scale-driven advantages, supporting a preference for market cap weighted ETFs.

Maybe, Olivier, just to kick off, if I think back one of the hallmarks of Repligen's story has always been the outgrowth algorithm to the overall bioprocessing market. If we go back to pre-COVID, that was China, new modalities, new product and share gains. Maybe just help level set us on the go-forward outgrowth algorithm. Is it the same factors? Are there new factors? I know you've been focused on areas like fluid management, strategic accounts. So just maybe help level set us on the next 3 to 5 years, some of the main factors underpinning that outgrowth algorithm for Repligen.
Olivier Loeillot

Well, good afternoon, everybody. Thanks, Matt, for welcoming us today. Yes, we're obviously very delighted by how quarter 3 has played out for us and even beyond quarter 3, how the first 3 quarters of the year have played out for us. We've had really a great performance across all of our businesses, but also across all of our market segments and even across all of our geographies. So obviously, really very delighted about that.

Yes. No, that's -- it's something we spend a lot of time on just kind of redefining what BlackBerry is today. And that's exactly, Paul -- basically, 2 years ago, we pivoted towards a focus around 2 fundamentally autonomous divisions inside the company, one around QNX and the foundational embedded software business that we drive, which I know we'll talk about.
Then secure communications. It was a more broader cybersecurity portfolio, and we narrowed that back to our heritage around secure communications and the work that we do around the world with governments and securing mission-critical communications.
And then the third piece is our IP portfolio. We've amassed a massive amount of IP over the course of the 40 years of the company. So those really today make up the 3 driving forces and kind of divisions that generate revenue, profit and value for

4 GARP Stocks That Investors Can Scoop Up for Maximum Returns
The GARP strategy offers ideal investment options, utilizing the best value and growth investing features. Investors adopting the GARP approach prefer stocks priced below the market or any reasonable target determined by fundamental analysis. The stocks have solid prospects based on cash flow, revenues, EPS, etc.
A strong earnings growth history and impressive earnings prospects are the primary concepts that GARP investors borrow from the growth investing strategy. However, instead of super-normal rates, pursuing stocks with a more stable and reasonable growth rate is a tactic of GARP investors. The GARP strategy considers growth rates between 10% and 20% ideal.
Another metric considered by growth and GARP investors is return on equity (ROE). GARP investors look for strong and higher ROE than the industry average to identify superior stocks. Moreover, stocks with a positive cash flow take precedence under the GARP plan.
Value Metrics
GARP investing prioritizes one of the popular value metrics, the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. The investing style picks stocks with higher P/E ratios than value investors, but it avoids companies with extremely high P/E ratios. The price-to-book value (P/B) ratio is also taken into consideration.
Using the GARP principle, we have run a screen to identify stocks that should offer solid returns in the near term.
Along with the criteria discussed in the above section, we have considered a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Last five-year EPS & projected 3-5-year EPS growth rates between 10% and 25% (Strong EPS growth history and prospects ensure improving business.)
ROE (in the past 12 months) greater than the industry average (Higher ROE than the industry average indicates superior stocks.)
P/E and P/B ratios are less than the M-industry average (P/E and P/B ratios less than the industry indicate that the stocks are undervalued).
Here are four out of the 10 stocks that made it through the screen. Each of the four stocks carries a Zacks Rank #2.
Ralph Lauren is benefiting from investor confidence in its robust brand equity, successful execution of its strategic transformation and consistent performance across geographies and channels. RL’s strong pricing power, margin expansion, disciplined inventory and real estate management are key growth drivers for the long term.
The company is gaining from the strategic execution of its “Next Great Chapter: Accelerate Plan” and robust financial performance. The plan focuses on brand elevation, consumer centricity and operational agility. Digital transformation drives growth, with investments in personalization, mobile, omnichannel, and fulfillment enhancing consumer engagement. Retail and wholesale remain key pillars, with flagship stores, premium distribution, and partnerships boosting comparable sales across North America, Europe and Asia in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
The stock has returned 40.3% in the year-to-date period. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 9.82%, on average. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for RL’s fiscal 2026 earnings has moved north by 3% to $15.41 per share over the past 30 days.
Royal Gold has been benefiting from its solid streaming agreements. The company maintains a strong balance sheet, which is likely to drive growth in the upcoming quarters. It is focused on allocating its strong cash flow to dividends, debt reduction and new businesses. Gold prices have been on an uptrend this year, aided by geopolitical reasons, a depreciating U.S. dollar, the potential for monetary policy easing and continuous purchasing by central banks. Silver has also gained on the back of the recent expansion seen in the U.S. manufacturing sector. This rise in gold and silver prices will also boost the company’s results in the coming quarters.
Royal Gold has completed the acquisition of Sandstorm Gold Ltd., bringing the two precious metals streaming and royalty companies under a single entity. The combined entity boasts a larger, more diversified global portfolio of precious metal assets, with 40 producing assets added from Sandstorm's portfolio.
The stock has returned 39.6% in the year-to-date period. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 3.92%, on average. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for RGLD’s 2025 earnings has moved 3.6% north to $7.96 per share over the past 30 days.
Powell engages in manufacturing and supplying custom-engineered equipment and systems that are used for distributing, controlling and monitoring the flow of electrical energy. Powell’s business momentum can be primarily attributed to its strong foothold and strength in two key markets, which are oil and gas and electric utility. A strong pipeline of projects within the LNG market and its growing presence across the data center and electric utility sectors, along with a solid backlog, are key catalysts behind the company’s growth.
Powell’s diversification efforts beyond its core oil, gas and petrochemical markets have enhanced its market share across other markets as well. It has been capitalizing on the global growth trends of electrification and digitalization. Its increased participation across the electrical power value chain has enabled it to generate solid bookings from the electric utility and commercial & other industrial markets. This has led to a strong backlog level, which was $1.4 billion (up 7% sequentially) while exiting the fiscal third quarter.
The stock has returned 43.4% in the year-to-date period. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 7.33%, on average. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for POWL’s fiscal 2025 earnings has remained steady at $14.39 per share over the past 30 days.
American Express is benefiting from sustained revenue growth driven by new product launches, strategic partnerships and a rebound in travel and entertainment spending. It expects revenues to rise 9-10% year over year in 2025. Strong cash generation and disciplined capital returns underscore its financial strength. It returned $2.9 billion in 3Q25 through dividends and buybacks. In the past year, its shares have outperformed the industry. AXP’s focus on increasing tech-savvy customers positions it for long-term growth.
The acquisition of Kabbage and partnership with UPS allowed AmEx to deepen its small business offerings. Through Kabbage Funding, the company provides lines of credit between $1,000 and $150,000, while Kabbage Payments streamlines card acceptance. These tools help AmEx support merchants’ cash flow management, broadening its presence in the SMB market. AXP has formed key alliances with Delta, Hilton, Amazon and Point.me, strengthening customer loyalty and brand presence. Recent acquisitions like Tock and Rooam expand its offerings in high-end dining and venue reservations.
This stock has returned 15% in the year-to-date period. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 4.02%, on average. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AXP’s 2025 earnings has moved north by 0.5% to $15.37 per share over the past 30 days.

Home Depot Says Focus on B2B Fails to Boost Results
Home Depot’s Q3 2025 performance suggests a significant housing market pressure and softening spend, with U.S. comparable sales rising only 0.1%.
The company’s modest top-line growth was largely masked by the GMS Inc. acquisition, indicating core organic sales growth is near-stalling and well below expectations.
Home Depot was forced to revise its full fiscal 2025 outlook, signaling severe pressure on profitability despite a shift toward B2B and wholesale audiences.
When it comes to consumer and corporate confidence, the bellwethers are increasingly ringing the alarm.
That was the case on Home Depot’s third-quarter 2025 investor earnings call Tuesday (Nov. 18).
“We believe that consumer uncertainty and continued pressure in housing are disproportionately impacting home improvement demand,” said Ted Decker, chair, president and CEO of The Home Depot.
While executives stressed that the retailer’s future is less about riding consumer waves and more about market share capture within the Pro segment, a highly resilient, less rate-sensitive business, the company still pointed to the macro realities as a crucial inflection point in both consumer behavior and the broader housing market.
“Our results missed our expectations primarily due to the lack of storms in the third quarter, which resulted in greater than expected pressure in certain categories. Additionally, while underlying demand in the business remained relatively stable sequentially, an expected increase in demand in the third quarter did not materialize,” Decker said, noting that this had forced the company to recalibrate its entire fiscal 2025 outlook.
The company’s comparable sales for the quarter rose only 0.2% globally and a marginal 0.1% in the critical U.S. market. For a retailer that is often the bellwether for discretionary spending on the home, this near-flat performance suggests a significant evaporation of organic demand. When The Home Depot posts comps this close to zero, it signals a complete absence of meaningful growth from its existing store fleet.

Still, Decker claimed that Home Depot is growing market share, a crucial point suggesting that while the tide may be going out for the entire industry, The Home Depot is losing less water than its competitors.

A Strategic Pivot to Resilience Amid Ongoing Headwinds
Home Depot’s headline sales increase of $1.1 billion is complicated by the recent acquisition of GMS Inc., a move intended to bolster The Home Depot’s professional (Pro) segment. GMS contributed approximately $900 million in sales over eight weeks, meaning the organic, like-for-like growth was a meager $200 million. This is the first clue that the core business could be sputtering.
The acquisition of GMS, while strategically sound for long-term Pro-segment growth, effectively served as an accounting mask for a stalling retail environment in Q3. The full-year guidance reinforces this, with GMS expected to contribute $2.0 billion in incremental sales, yet the total sales growth forecast is only 3.0%. Without the acquisition, the organic sales growth target would be perilously close to 1%, a figure that is barely keeping pace with inflation.
The high-end Pro customer, often tackling large-scale remodels, is more insulated but still sensitive to rising costs and project timelines. The average DIY consumer, facing persistent inflation and economic uncertainty, is pulling back on large, discretionary projects like kitchen remodels or deck installations, instead opting for only essential maintenance or “light touch” décor upgrades. The 0.1% U.S. comp figure is the financial fingerprint of this constrained, cautious consumer.
Home Depot’s true alarm sounds in the EPS forecast. The company now anticipates a decline in diluted EPS of approximately 6.0% from fiscal 2024, or 5.0% on an adjusted basis. This is a significant revision and a clear signal that the topline headwinds are overwhelming cost-control measures.
Related: Seven in 10 Americans Live Paycheck to Paycheck. And Confidence Is Cracking
The Home Depot is effectively bracing for a 5% to 6% reduction in profitability despite acquiring $2.0 billion in new revenue. This dynamic suggests margin compression is either more severe than expected in the core business, or the GMS acquisition, in its early phase, is dilutive to the overall margin profile. Given the context, it is likely a combination of both: a mix shift away from high-margin discretionary DIY goods, coupled with increased operating costs in a slow-growth environment.
The company is now in a period of strategic digestion, integrating GMS and optimizing its operational machine for a 0% growth environment. The challenge for leadership is to prove that this near-flat performance is an external market phenomenon, and not a structural erosion of the competitive moat.
The ultimate test will be whether the efficiency gains can keep the stock viable during this low-growth cycle, until consumer confidence and housing velocity inevitably return. The Home Depot has moved from the accelerator to the cruise control, bracing for an extended period of slow but steady market grinding.

ORCL and CRM are Synopsys’s competitors in the Application Software industry that possess:
1) A lower valuation (P/OpInc) relative to Synopsys stock
2) However, they demonstrate higher revenue and operating income growth.
This disparity between valuation and performance suggests that purchasing ORCL and CRM stocks may be more advantageous than buying SNPS stock
Individual stocks can experience volatility and may lead to selling, but strategic allocation and diversification allow you to remain invested. Our Boston-based wealth management partner's asset allocation strategy is designed specifically for this purpose.

This is merely one method to assess investments. Trefis High Quality Portfolio evaluates significantly more and aims to mitigate stock-specific risk while providing upside exposure.
Is The Mismatch In Stock Price Temporary
One approach to determine if Synopsys stock is currently overpriced compared to other tickers would be to examine how these metrics stacked up across companies exactly one year ago. Specifically, if there has been a distinct reversal in the trend for Synopsys over the past 12 months, it suggests that the existing mismatch may indeed reverse. Conversely, a continual underperformance in revenue and operating income growth for Synopsys would strengthen the notion that the stock is overpriced compared to its peers and may not correct soon.

Sure. I'd love to. So WEX has been around 40 years and we are very focused. Our purpose is to simplify the business of running a business. When we think about our business, we're really at the intersection of payment intelligence and workflow optimization. We do that across a number of different industries. And when we think about our platforms are there to reduce a lot of the friction that our customers experience in their day-to-day work lives and we have over 600,000 customers across the world.
Question-and-Answer Session
Aditi Balachandran
Amazing. Perfect starting. So before we dive into SMB Mobility, there's been overall segment headwinds from a same-store perspective. Firstly, with the challenged backdrop, related to volatility in the freight arena. And more recently, we're seeing some macro-related headwinds in WEX's local fleet business. So from your perspective, what's WEX's expectation on the glide path for these 2 areas, and we believe we've hit a trough?
Melissa Smith
Chairman of the Board, President & CEO
Yes. So about 50% of our revenue is in this mobility arena. If you look at CrossRoads business, the over-the-road customers, which is about 1/3 of the portfolio, had been in this

OXFORD, United Kingdom, Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sophos, a global leader of innovative security solutions for defeating cyberattacks, today announced the general availability of new integrations that connect Sophos Intelix, its robust repository of cyber threat intelligence, with Microsoft Security Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot. Introduced at the Microsoft Ignite Conference in San Francisco, organizations of all sizes gain real-time access to Sophos threat intelligence within Microsoft’s AI-powered environments, helping them strengthen defenses and respond to threats more effectively.
Every day, Sophos processes more than 223 terabytes of telemetry in its Sophos Central platform, generating over 34 million detections and automatically blocking more than 11 million threats. This global scale of customer insight continuously informs Sophos product and services and fuels the intelligence within Sophos Intelix, now accessible for free to users of Microsoft Security Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot.
This milestone underscores Sophos’ mission to empower every organization with resilient, intelligent cybersecurity and to democratize cybersecurity for organizations of all sizes, meeting them wherever they are in their cybersecurity journey, within the Microsoft Copilot ecosystem.
Sophos Intelix for Microsoft Security Copilot
Sophos Intelix provides advanced threat context and enrichment capabilities directly into Microsoft Security Copilot, Microsoft’s generative AI assistant for Security Operation Center (SOC) and IT teams. Security Copilot connects data across Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Intune, Entra, and Purview, allowing analysts and expert users to query and investigate threats using natural language enriched with Sophos’ insights from protecting more than 600,000 organizations. These teams are often protecting organizations 24/7/365 and require the latest intelligence at their fingertips at all times to protect their organization.
Through this integration, security analysts and IT teams can:
Enrich alerts and triage incidents faster using Sophos Intelix intelligence and services including sandbox detonation and dynamic analysis.Investigate indicators of compromise (IOCs) with file, URL, and IP reputation lookups.Access global insights and prevalence data from Sophos X-Ops directly within Security Copilot.
Sophos Intelix will also be available in Microsoft’s new Security Store for third-party agents, MCP services, and APIs.
Sophos Intelix for Microsoft 365 Copilot
Sophos Intelix also integrates with Microsoft 365 Copilot, making comprehensive threat intelligence available and accessible for the masses within everyday Microsoft productivity tools such as Teams and Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat.
With Sophos Intelligence in Microsoft 365, IT administrators, risk managers, and business users can:
Query Sophos threat intelligence in natural language directly within Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat and Microsoft Teams.Check whether links, files, or domains are associated with known malicious activity.Strengthen cyber awareness and decision-making abilities within productivity tools they’re using daily.
By embedding these capabilities into Microsoft 365 Copilot, Sophos helps organizations of all sizes make faster, better-informed security decisions without leaving their workflow. This integration doubles down on Sophos’ vision to democratize access to advanced cybersecurity insights, giving Microsoft 365 Copilot users the same level of intelligence leveraged by sophisticated SOC teams. You can also watch this video demonstration of Sophos Intelix for Microsoft 365 Copilot to see how users can leverage it within their everyday productivity tools.
Microsoft Agent 365 Capabilities for Sophos Intelix
Sophos Intelix will also integrate with Microsoft’s growing Copilot and agent ecosystem, extending Sophos intelligence across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Powered by Entra-based identity management, this integration enables organizations to bring Sophos Intelix into their agent portfolio with full observability and compliance.
Microsoft Agent 365 serves as the control plane for AI agents, allowing organizations to extend their existing infrastructure, applications, and protections to agents, while using familiar capabilities that have been adapted to agent needs.
Together, these integrations further strengthen Sophos’ commitment to delivering advanced intelligence wherever organizations operate within the Microsoft agent ecosystem.
Meeting the Growing Demands of Defenders
AI is transforming industries worldwide, and cybersecurity is no exception. Security teams are flooded with alerts yet often lack the resources to keep pace, with small and mid-sized businesses most affected. In the Sophos Addressing the Cybersecurity Skills Shortage in SMBs report, 96 percent of respondents reported difficulties investigating suspicious alerts and 75 percent struggled to remediate incidents quickly.
At the same time, attackers are accelerating: the Sophos Active Adversary Report 2025 found that data exfiltration begins in just three days on average, with a median of only 2.7 hours between exfiltration and detection, and attackers can reach Active Directory in as little as 11 hours. These findings underscore the urgent need for defenders to adopt faster, more effective ways of analyzing and investigating alerts.
Powered by Deep Intelligence
By exposing Sophos Intelix within the Microsoft Copilot ecosystem, Sophos makes threat intelligence universally accessible, helping organizations accelerate analysis, reduce response time, and improve security outcomes.
“The Microsoft Copilot ecosystem is transforming how people interact with technology by bringing natural language interfaces into the core of its Copilot ecosystem,” said Simon Reed, Chief Scientific Research Officer, Sophos. “The future of SOC productivity is moving beyond the graphical user interfaces we’ve relied on since the 1980s, toward a new paradigm of human–AI collaboration. AI assistants powered by expansive datasets, deep threat intelligence, and advanced systems are fundamentally reshaping how analysts work. By making Sophos threat intelligence available through both Microsoft Security Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot, we’re giving defenders faster, more natural access to insights that help them respond to threats with speed, precision, and confidence.”
“AI is the force multiplier for defenders, and when partners like Sophos bring their agentic innovation into the Microsoft Copilot ecosystem, the impact is exponential. Together, we’re not just building tools—we’re creating a new era of intelligent, collaborative cyber defense,” said Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Security.

Hemostemix to Showcase Breakthrough Wound Healing Therapy at Innovations in Wound Care Conference Florida
November 18, 2025 11:30 AM EST | Source: Hemostemix Inc.
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - November 18, 2025) - Hemostemix Inc. (TSXV: HEM) (OTCQB: HMTXF) (FSE: 2VF0), a leader in regenerative medicine, will attend the Innovations in Wound Care Conference from December 11-14, 2025 in Key West, Florida. The company will highlight its world-leading angiogenic cell therapy, ACP-01, which regenerates circulation, heals ulcers, alleviates pain, and improves quality of life for patients with advanced wound care needs including Peripheral Arterial Disease, Critical Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI).
Last week, Hemostemix completed a Grand Rounds presentation at the University of Florida Department of Vascular Surgery, featuring Dr. Fraser Henderson, Neurosurgeon. The session reviewed clinical insights from the treatment of 498 subjects including across five Phase I trials, one Phase II double-blind randomized controlled trial, and one retrospective study. Four of Hemostemix' studies detailed wound healing that saved limbs from amputation, including the double blind randomized phase II trial of no option CLTI subjects:
Henderson et al. (J Biomed Res Environ Sci, 2024): Published ulcer size in the treated group decreased from a mean of 146 mm2 to 0.48 mm2 (p = 0.01) by 3 months (wound size reduced from the size of a wild strawberry to the size of one grain of sand). There was no significant decrease in the size of the ulcers of the placebo group (p < 0.54). At one year there were no complications related to treatment. The treatment group had one amputation (4.8%) and one death (4.8%); the placebo group had 2 amputations (25%) and 1 death (12.5%).Mutirangura et al. (Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand, 2009): Reported 83.3% of treated had clinically significant improvement of adequate circulation at the distal limb for the complete healing.Szabo et al. (Cytotherapy, 2013): At 2-year follow-up in the control group: 20% mortality and 75% required major amputations; in the treated group: 0% mortality, and 70% of limbs saved from amputation. At 3-month follow-up, the change in hemodynamic parameters showed a significant increase in the treated group over the control group.Misskey et al. (UBC & University of Toronto 2023): Healing of ulcers and resolution of ischemic rest pain occurred in the other 83% patients.Why It Matters: ACP-01 is currently available under Florida SB-1768. Up to 500,000 Floridians live with pain associated with non-healing wounds - a $500-$600 million market growing at CAGR of 5-6% that is expected to grow to $700-$800 million within the next five years.
Watch the CLTI Grand Rounds Replay on YouTube
Quote from Thomas Smeenk, President & CEO:
"Our mission is simple yet profound: to treat pain, heal wounds that otherwise will not heal, save limbs and improve patients' quality of life. ACP-01 is the world's leading therapy for regenerating circulation and healing wounds where traditional options have failed. We are proud to share our clinical success and collaborate with physicians at the Innovations in Wound Care Conference to advance patient care."
Investor Highlights:
Hemostemix operates in a global wound care market projected to exceed $20 billion by 2030, driven by rising rates of diabetes, vascular disease, and chronic wounds. With ACP-01 already available under Florida SB-1768 and supported by robust clinical evidence, Hemostemix is positioned as a first-mover in regenerative medicine for limb salvage. The company trades on (TSXV: HEM) (OTCQB: HMTXF) and (FSE: 2VF0), offering investors exposure to a high-growth sector with significant unmet medical need.

Nvidia, Microsoft invest $15 billion in AI startup Anthropic
Chip giant Nvidia and Microsoft announced Tuesday investments totaling $15 billion in AI startup Anthropic, creator of the Claude chatbot, as the AI investment frenzy continues amid emerging fears of a bubble on Wall Street.
Nvidia committed up to $10 billion while Microsoft—which owns 27% of Anthropic rival OpenAI—pledged up to $5 billion to the maker of Claude AI models.
The deal was part of a sweeping agreement that saw Anthropic commit to purchasing $30 billion in Microsoft's cloud computing capacity and adopt the latest versions of Nvidia's chip technology.
"We're increasingly going to be customers of each other," said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in an online video announcing the deal.
"We will use Anthropic models. They will use our infrastructure, and we'll go to market together to help our customers realize the value of AI."
The investments mark a significant realignment in the generative AI sector, where competition has intensified between ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and rivals including Anthropic, but also Google, which released its latest Gemini model on Tuesday.
California-based Anthropic was launched in 2021 by former OpenAI staff and positions itself as prioritizing safety in AI development. Its flagship product is the Claude chatbot and family of models.
With increasing talk among Wall Street analysts of an AI bubble, shares in Nvidia, the world's biggest company by market capitalization, were down as much as three percent amid a broad sell-off in the tech sectors.
Microsoft's shares were down nearly 3.5%.
Sources told CNBC that the fresh investment valued Anthropic at $350 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable companies. OpenAI was most recently valued at $500 billion.

Peter Schiff Calls Bitcoin “A Modern Day Tulip” Amid Drop To Seven-Month Lows
Peter Schiff, who is one of Bitcoin’s harshest critics and a staunch gold advocate, has not passed up on the chance to take aim at BTC as the broader crypto market outlook has continued to worsen by the day.
Schiff’s Latest Jab At Crypto Industry
In a Nov. 17 post on X, Schiff, who is a founding member of Euro Pacific Asset Management, claimed that CNBC has not been as outspoken about BTC’s current drawdown as it used to be when the market was bullish. He specifically called out CNBC analysts and their guests, stating they are “at a loss” to explain why Bitcoin is crashing, even though so many predicted higher prices by now owing to the flood of bullish news.
Earlier today, the Bitcoin price plunged below the $90,000 crucial psychological level for the first time since April, before rebounding slightly to $91,357 as of press time, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko. The correction has seen the Crypto Fear & Greed Index now flash “extreme fear” with an 11/100 score.
BTC is now 27.5% down from its lifetime high registered in early October, just days before the record-breaking crash on Oct. 10 that wiped out over $19 billion in crypto positions.
Notably, the general meltdown in the crypto sector comes as gold reclaimed price levels above $4,000.

According to Schiff, Bitcoin is “just a modern-day tulip,” which he believes crypto fans have failed to realize, having confused the pioneer crypto for a reliable investment asset.
The confusion on CNBC does not center on Bitcoin’s market dynamics, the gold bug said, before recycling the oft-used comparison of crypto to the Dutch tulip market bubble.
As expected, X users shot back at Schiff’s latest comments, recalling that the Bitcoin skeptic has cited this comparison for more than a decade, dating back to when Bitcoin was valued at less than $1,000. Others pointed out that tulips die, but blockchain cannot.
In a separate post today, Schiff suggested that Bitcoin’s fall relative to his favourite yellow metal “exposed the digital-gold hype as a fraud.”

TRON Era Ends as USDJ Winds Down With Mandatory TRX Conversion
Farewell to the peg: USDJ ceases to be a stablecoin, shifting to a fixed exchange rate model of 1.5532 TRX per token.
Current market value: The established conversion rate values each USDJ at approximately $0.45, far from its original one-dollar peg.
Strategic pivot: The network is abandoning legacy models to focus liquidity on more modern assets like USDD and USDT.
TRON is officially closing one of its longest chapters. On Tuesday, the definitive retirement of its pioneer algorithmic asset was announced by JUST DAO, confirming that the USDJ stablecoin shutdown is irreversible. Furthermore, the token will cease circulating in decentralized financial markets under its original premise.
With over five years of operations, the project is abandoning its peg mechanism to the US dollar. A new fixed exchange rate linked directly to TRX has now been implemented. According to official information, the redemption rate is set at 1 USDJ = 1.5532 TRX.
The team indicated that this equates to approximately $0.45 based on current market prices, offering remaining holders a clear exit path, albeit below the historical nominal value of one dollar.
A Strategic Pivot Toward DeFi Modernization
This is not an isolated move; on the contrary, it is the culmination of a roadmap TRON has been executing for the past two years. The network has decided to prioritize the integration of more robust and liquid assets, such as USDD and USDT, leaving legacy systems behind.
The USDJ stablecoin was born in 2020 as a mirror of MakerDAO’s DAI system. Its closure responds to the need to retire complex infrastructures based on Collateralized Debt Positions (CDP) that have lost relevance in the face of more efficient models.
The protocol’s core functions, such as minting and CDP management, had already been deactivated on August 31, 2025. Since then, the asset operated without targeted liquidity support, consistently trading below its peg. The implementation of the fixed rate seeks to eliminate uncertainty and prevent market confusion as the asset fully decouples from its original design.
Community reaction has been mixed; while some feel nostalgia for the asset that drove on-chain credit in TRON’s early days, the majority accept that the USDJ stablecoin shutdown is a necessary step toward the network’s financial maturity, clearing the ground for more scalable and secure protocols.

Can LINK Price Falling Wedge Breakout Target Levels Beyond $30?
The Chainlink ecosystem is currently showing signs of a major market turning point, with technical structures aligning perfectly with powerful on-chain metrics. The prevailing sentiment across several key indicators suggests that the heavy selling pressure may be bottoming out, setting the stage for a near-term rally. This technical and fundamental confluence is critical for assessing the immediate future of the LINK price.
The Technical Setup: Diagonal Support Holds FirmMarket observers have noted that the recent price action saw a precise contact with a long-standing diagonal trendline, which coincided directly with a crucial local demand area.
[ $LINK ]
Another alt that touched it's diagonal at the same time as the local demand area.
This looks good for a bounce. If it's a full-on reversal will be determined if it can get over the first resistance. pic.twitter.com/3Z5FucKyc6
— Osemka (@Osemka8) November 18, 2025 This simultaneous touch of two major support zones creates a high-probability setup for a bounce. LINK price today is therefore at a critical juncture; a successful rebound from this level would validate the strength of the underlying technical structure.
Furthermore, the market is currently experiencing the compression typical of a falling wedge pattern, according to other analyses. A confirmed breakout from this falling wedge could target levels well beyond the $30 mark, confirming a significant shift in market control.
On-Chain Sentiment Confirms Bottoming ProcessWhile technical charts provide the roadmap, on-chain data offers a glimpse into trader psychology and value. Santiment’s 30-day MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio shows that the asset has entered “Extreme Buy Zones.”
This zone is historically significant because it indicates that the losses realized by traders have crossed into territory previously seen only at major historical bottoms.
Therefore, the odds are turning significantly higher for a strong relief rally to trigger soon. This sentiment indicates that the asset is fundamentally undervalued at its current LINK price USD levels relative to what long-term holders initially paid for it.
Therefore, the immediate short-term future hinges entirely on the token’s ability to clear the first resistance area following this bounce. If the token can successfully vault past this initial overhead obstacle, the probability of a full-on structural reversal increases dramatically, bolstering the long-term LINK price forecast.
Conversely, a failure to bounce decisively from the current demand area would invalidate the technical setup, necessitating a search for the next major support level.

El Salvador Unveils Biggest Single-Day Bitcoin Buy Of $100 Million While Crypto Slides Into “Extreme Fear”
Crypto-friendly country El Salvador bought more Bitcoin (BTC) on Monday amid a bloodletting that saw Bitcoin slump below $90,000 — its lowest price in seven months.
El Salvador purchased 1,090 more BTC for its national treasury reserves for a total cost of $100 million, representing the largest single-day purchase the country has ever made.
Since November 2022, the smallest country in mainland Central America has continued to buy up 1 BTC per day, despite mounting tensions with international lenders. According to the government’s own figures and blockchain data, the country now holds 7,474.37 BTC, valued at about $680 million.
The latest purchase came as the ongoing market correction pushed sentiment to ‘Extreme Fear’ on the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, suggesting investors are panicking amid the sustained downtrend that has knocked Bitcoin down 27.8% from its October all-time high of $126,080.
El Salvador’s Financing Agreement With IMF
Notably, it’s not clear whether El Salvador actually bought the 1,090 Bitcoins from the market as the country’s legislature rushed to roll back public sector involvement in Bitcoin in January to remain compliant under the IMF loan agreement.

In July, the International Monetary Fund published a report claiming that the Salvadoran government hadn’t acquired any new Bitcoin since signing the $1.4 billion loan deal in December 2024. Per the report, the growth in BTC holdings in the reserve fund reflected the consolidation of the asset across multiple government-owned wallets, rather than new buys.
However, President Nayib Bukele insisted that El Salvador had no intention of stopping its accumulation of Bitcoin due to the IMF’s demands.
“‘This all stops in April.’ ‘This all stops in June.’ ‘This all stops in December.’ No, it’s not stopping,” Bukele previously postulated in a post on X. “If it didn’t stop when the world ostracized us and most ‘bitcoiners’ abandoned us, it won’t stop now, and it won’t stop in the future. Proof of work > proof of whining.”
The Monday BTC acquisition also follows closer collaboration with the United States on crypto oversight, including an early June meeting between Bukele and the former White House’s Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, Bo Hines.

XRP Marks First Inflow In 4 Weeks Even As ETF Approval Chances Strengthen
Exchange inflows rise after one month, signaling increasing selling pressure and weakening confidence among broader XRP holders this week.Whales accumulate over one billion XRP, reinforcing long-term optimism and countering bearish sentiment driven by retail selling activity.ETF anticipation may stabilize XRP above two dollars, though delays or rising selling could trigger renewed downside volatility soon.XRP remains under pressure as its month-long downtrend continues to pull the altcoin closer to the key $2 level. Earlier in the month, XRP attempted to break out of this declining pattern but failed to sustain momentum.
Adding to this pressure are the investors, who are leaning towards selling at the moment. Thus, the question now is whether the growing anticipation surrounding potential XRP ETF approvals can help prevent a deeper drop.
XRP Investors Are SellingXRP exchange net position data is showing its first confirmed inflow in more than a month, owing to the ongoing price drop. After several weeks of declining outflows, the past 24 hours marked a clear return of capital to exchanges, signaling selling. This shift is notable because inflows typically reflect weaker investor conviction and renewed interest in selling during periods of uncertainty or bearishness.

This 30-day trend reversal highlights worsening sentiment among XRP holders. Instead of buying into weakness, investors appear to be positioning for potential downside by selling their holdings. The change from steady outflows to early inflows indicates a bearish lean, weakening short-term support.

Addresses holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP have accumulated an additional 1.1 billion XRP in the past week. This brings their total holdings to 9.74 billion XRP, marking an increase of $2.36 billion at current valuations.
Such aggressive accumulation from large holders signals sustained optimism about long-term price performance. Whales are often considered the most influential cohort in crypto markets, and their buying activity tends to drive broader sentiment.
XRP Whale Holding. Source: SantimentXRP Price May Be Safe From CorrectionXRP trades at $2.14 and currently rests on key support at the same level. The asset has been locked in a downtrend for nearly a month, struggling to break out despite periodic attempts. Without external catalysts, XRP risks drifting lower as bearish momentum persists.
However, XRP may avoid a deeper decline as the likelihood of ETF approval increases. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that the SEC released guidance allowing issuers to speed up filing effectiveness, likely to clear regulatory backlog. Bitwise’s XRP ETF is reportedly next in line, and any progress could improve market sentiment instantly.
XRP Price Analysis. Source: TradingViewIf bullish momentum continues and ETF expectations strengthen, XRP could climb to $2.28 and then $2.36, breaking free from its downtrend. But if the investors’ selling increases or ETF decisions face delays, XRP may resume its slide and potentially drop 6.8% to reach $2.00. This would invalidate the bullish thesis.

XRP Holds For Now, But Data Shows A Brutal Drop To $1.65 May Come Soon
XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) is flat on Tuesday morning, but data shows that any upside price action may just be a temporary relief bounce.
Bearish Retest Forms As XRP Rejects Broken Pattern
XRP Price Dynamics (Source: TradingView)
XRP's small uptick is occurring directly beneath a heavy resistance cluster, with price tagging the underside of the broken symmetrical wedge.
The token slipped below the lower boundary last week, and today's green candle is touching that same trendline from below.
Traders view this as a standard bearish retest.
Sellers remain active as long as XRP trades under the EMA band between $2.33 and $2.48.
The 20-day and 50-day averages converge in this zone, forming the next structural test for buyers attempting to regain momentum.
$50M Outflows Reinforce Downside Pressure
XRP Netflows (Source: Coinglass)
Spot flow data recorded another $50.6 million net outflow on Nov. 18, extending a multi-month series of heavy red prints.
The market has not seen a sustained period of positive inflow since July.
Persistent distribution suggests large holders continue reducing exposure into every counter-trend bounce.
Flow-driven selling remains one of the key reasons XRP has failed to establish any durable recovery this quarter.
Weekly Chart Targets Lower Fib Levels
XRP Weekly Price Action (Source: TradingView)
XRP trades below the 0.382 Fibonacci level at $2.47, with multiple failed attempts to reclaim the mid-range.
A rejection near $2.92 earlier this quarter confirmed a lower high in the broader cycle.
MACD remains negative with expanding downside histograms, while RSI trends near 41 without any bullish divergence.
Momentum indicators show sellers still firmly in control across higher-timeframe views.
Liquidity Zones Point Toward $1.65The descending channel drawn from the yearly high continues guiding price lower.
Immediate liquidity pockets sit at $2.05 and $1.85.
Today's 1% rise is not a shift in trend.
It is a tag of a broken pattern, a setup that often precedes continuation moves lower.
XRP must reclaim the EMA cluster and close decisively above $2.48 to improve structure.
Until that occurs, the path of least resistance continues downward, and flow-based selling raises the risk of a slide into the $1.60–$1.70 region.
Broader market sentiment remains cautious as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) trades near $91,100 after breaking its cycle trendline and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) holds around $3,030 while defending a multi-month support shelf.

ETH Dips Below $3,000 But Tom Lee Predicts It’s ‘Pretty Close To Bottoming This Week’

Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs
XRP-focused investor and former lawyer Fran De Olza has shared an positive long-term view on XRP, saying the token’s real value will come from its practical use in future digital markets, not short-term price predictions. Fran, who transitioned from law to investing, said he is “more interested in what XRP will solve rather than guessing numbers or dates.”
Focus on Real-World Utility, Not Just PriceFran explained that XRP’s long-term strength depends on what industries it can power. He believes major new digital economies are forming, including micropayments, AI-driven systems, robotics, gaming, and metaverse ecosystems — all of which will require fast, cheap, global transactions.
He said that when these markets mature, XRP could play a major role thanks to its transaction speed, low fees, and scalability. However, he also said that other digital assets may benefit too, as the future will likely support multiple networks, not just one winner.
Spot XRP ETFs Could Boost Market DemandDiscussing the launch of the Canary Capital Spot XRP ETF, Fran said the ETF wave is an important development for institutional access, even though he refuses to make public price predictions.
According to him, only around 2% of XRP supply is held by retail investors, which means institutional demand could significantly change the market if it grows quickly. Canary Capital’s CEO reportedly expects $5 billion to $10 billion in early demand, which Fran says would be a strong signal for the sector.
He said that Canary Capital is a comparatively small fund and that bigger asset managers like Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, and possibly BlackRock could create far larger demand once their XRP ETFs launch.
Institutional Interest and Banking AlignmentFran also added that XRP is attracting attention not only from crypto traders but from mainstream banking and payment industry executives, citing appearances of Citibank and other financial leaders at Ripple’s Swell conference. He said this shift shows XRP’s narrative is evolving beyond retail speculation toward global financial infrastructure.
No Instant Price Explosion ExpectedWhile acknowledging high curiosity around price, Fran reminded that ETF buying does not reflect immediately on spot price due to T+1 settlement, meaning funds receive their XRP the following day after capital enters the ETF.
“It may not move instantly, but if real demand shows up, the market will eventually reflect it,” he said.

Fidelity's Spot Solana ETF FSOL Expected to Go Live on November 18
Key NotesFidelity is getting set to roll out its spot Solana ETF amid high expectations.ETF expert James Seyffart stated that Canary Capital will follow the next day.BlackRock has not attempted to file for a spot Solana ETF.
Fidelity is preparing to debut its spot Solana Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) following VanEck, which rolled out a similar fund on November 17.
The Solana ETF competition is heating up gradually as two other asset management firms have also launched their SOL ETF a few weeks earlier.
Overall, there is still a conversation on whether BlackRock will join this race for altcoin ETFs.
BlackRock Refuses to Join Solana ETF Race
Fidelity is expected to launch its spot Solana ETF on November 18, coming fourth after VanEck. According to senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the asset manager has pegged the management fee for the fund at 0.25%.
It is worth noting that reputable firm BlackRock has not filed any application for a Solana ETF or any other altcoin ETF, for that matter.
On this basis, Balchunas said Fidelity has a great chance to be the biggest asset manager in this ETF category.
His colleague, James Seyffart, noted that Canary Capital is also set to launch its Solana ETF, under the ticker SOLC.
ALSO. @CanaryFunds will be launching their Solana ETF — $SOLC — tomorrow too. It’s in partnership with @MarinadeFinance who will be doing the staking. https://t.co/DKsDY3xymg
— James Seyffart (@JSeyff) November 18, 2025
The fund, which is scheduled to roll out on November 19, is a collaborative effort with Marinade Finance. This latter firm will be charged with the staking aspect of the fund.
With Fidelity in the “game” and the traction that this fund is beginning to get, it’s still not clear if BlackRock will make a move towards the SOL ETF.
Bitwise and VanEck Launch Solana ETFs
On October 28, Bitwise’s BSOL became the first US spot Solana ETP as it commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) market.
Many market observers and analysts described the debut as a historic milestone for regulated crypto access. Grayscale’s SOL ETF followed the next day. So far, Bitwise’s BSOL has secured $450 million in trading volume.
On November 17, VanEck rolled out a Solana Staking ETF for trading on Chicago’s CBOE with zero fees, even though it was the first issuer to apply to list this fund in June 2024.
All fees will remain waived until February 2026, after which investors will be required to pay the 0.30% sponsor fees.

Bitcoin Will Not Enter Bear Market, Says '$1 Million BTC' Advocate Samson Mow
$1 million BTC advocate Samson Mow states there will be no bear market, making the claim as Bitcoin trades near $91,000 and sentiment drops to extreme fear.

During a week defined by continuous market pressure, with Bitcoin trading at $91,461 and extreme fear ruling the ball, Samson Mow, known for his ambitious $1,000,000 BTC call, stated that there will be no bear market.
Mow’s position is consistent with the framework behind his $1 million BTC thesis: he does not classify drawdowns of this magnitude, even with extreme-fear sentiment and negative flows, as evidence of a new multiyear downtrend.
There will be no bear market.
HOT Stories
— Samson Mow (@Excellion) November 18, 2025 Instead, Mow's view centers on factors such as fixed 21 billion BTC issuance, ETF accumulation, post-halving supply conditions and long-horizon demand from institutions and sovereign entities, which he treats as the core drivers of Bitcoin’s long-term success.
Bitcoin math right nowETF data, in the meantime, adds another layer of context as, on Nov. 17, crypto ETFs registered $436,850,000 in net outflows, extending a multisession streak of negative flows that began after Bitcoin rolled over from the $105,000-$110,000 range.
Open interest reflects the same compression, with perpetuals at $772.73 million and futures at $4.3 billion, both materially lower than levels seen in late October. Implied volatility prints 53.26 for Bitcoin and 80.46 for Ethereum, suggesting the market is hedging against continued uncertainty without pricing in an outsized move.

From a data standpoint, the market is stressed but functioning, and the "no bear market" statement underscores that these conditions — $91,461 BTC, extreme fear, $436.85 million ETF outflows and a $3.12 trillion market cap — do not alter his longer-range outlook.

Coinidol.com: XRP Hovers above $2.00 Amid a Decline
Published: Nov 18, 2025 at 15:06
Updated: Nov 18, 2025 at 15:13
The price of XRP has remained above the $2.00 support level for the past month as buyers defend this level.
However, buyers have been unable to keep the price above the moving average lines, which have blocked further upward movement.
XRP long-term analysis: bearish
On the weekly chart, the cryptocurrency price has fallen below the moving average lines. On the downside, if the bears break below the current $2.00 support, selling pressure will increase. Additionally, the price signal suggests that the coin will continue to decline.
On August 4, a retraced candle body tested the 50% Fibonacci retracement level, according to the price forecast. This retracement indicates that XRP will fall to the 2.0 Fibonacci extension, or the low of $1.79. XRP is currently valued at $2.19.
Technical indicators:
Resistance Levels – $2.80 and $3.00
Support Levels – $1.80 and $1.60
XRP price indicator analysis
On the weekly chart, the moving average lines are sloping upwards, indicating a previous rally. The current bearish candlestick is being resisted by the 50-day SMA barrier, suggesting a further decline in the cryptocurrency. On the 4-hour chart, the moving average lines slope horizontally. The 21-day SMA is below the 50-day SMA, indicating a current downtrend.
What is the next direction for XRP?
XRP is declining below the moving average lines but has held above the current support level of $2.00. The 4-hour chart shows XRP trading above the $2.15 support but below the $2.60 resistance.
Today, the price retested the $2.20 support but fell again. However, a break below the present support level will signify the continuation of the negative trend.

Solana ETFs Set for Competitive Week as Fidelity, Canary, and Grayscale Enter the Market
Fidelity and other issuers expand Solana ETF offerings as inflows grow, while SOL trades near crucial support with signs of bullish divergence.
Izabela Anna2 min read
18 November 2025, 03:08 PM
Solana’s ETF race is accelerating this week as several asset managers prepare new products, adding fresh momentum to the ecosystem. Fidelity plans to bring its spot Solana ETF, FSOL, to market on November 19 with a 25-basis-point fee, according to analysis shared by James Seyffart. This development arrives as trading activity around Solana rises and investors follow strong inflow streaks across the existing ETFs.
Multiple Issuers Enter the MarketThe rollout begins with Bitwise’s BSOL, which reached the market first with roughly $450 million in size. VanEck’s VSOL also went live this week and introduced an incentive that waives sponsor fees until the product reaches $1 billion in assets or until February 17, 2026.
Additionally, Grayscale joined the group to broaden its Solana lineup. Canary Funds plans to bring SOLC into trading on the same day as FSOL. The firm partnered with Marinade Finance to handle on-chain staking, giving its structure a different design from traditional ETF formats.
Besides, the competitive pressure increased as Solana ETFs posted $8.2 million in net inflows yesterday. Most activity came from BSOL, which extended Solana’s streak to 14 consecutive sessions of inflows.
Conversely, Bitcoin and Ethereum products continued to record outflows during the same period. Hence, the current direction shows a rotation toward Solana among ETF investors.
SOL Price Tests Monthly Support Solana trades near $137 as of press time after falling more than 15% over the last week. The price now approaches the $130 monthly support level. Analysts at curb.sol identify this region as a structural floor that formed during earlier fear phases. Additionally, the RSI formed a hidden bullish divergence, which signals potential trend continuation if buyers protect the zone.
Source: X
Moreover, a defense of $126–$130 may allow Solana to stabilize and push toward the yearly open near $189. A reclaim of that zone could open a path to the mid-$200 range. However, losing the monthly support would weaken the trend and delay any recovery attempts.

120,000,000,000 Shiba Inu (SHIB) Selling Wave About to Hit Everything
Shiba Inu about to face a massive selling wave as exchange inflows surge rapidly in the last few hours.

The majority of retail traders continue to overlook Shiba Inu's exchange netflow control. The larger market context reveals something far more unsettling than a typical consolidation, even though the price is hovering around $0.0000087. SHIB has entered a phase where selling pressure is not just increasing — it is preparing to flood the market, CryptoQuant shows.
SHIB flows are changingSHIB has seen enormous inflows back into centralized exchanges over the past few days in November. In the last 24 hours, over 60 billion SHIB were transferred onto trading platforms. A classic prelude to aggressive sell-offs last week saw about 120 billion SHIB move onto exchanges, if we extend the time frame. When tokens move from wallets to exchanges, it is not a sign of optimism.
Usually, it indicates that holders are setting themselves up to sell. This is taking place while Shiba Inu is still on a downward trend and has not broken any significant resistance levels. SHIB is still clearly below the 50-, 100- and 200-day moving averages on the chart.
HOT Stories
SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingViewThe mid-November selling spike only served to confirm how strongly bearish the meme coin structure remains. Another bad sign is the thinning out of volume. Declining volume and sharp downtrends frequently indicate that there is not enough buying interest to withstand incoming sell pressure.
Because there is not enough liquidity to sustain the current level, a single powerful wave of selling could push the price into deeper lows. The market is not yet oversold, as indicated by the RSI remaining in the 37-41 range. Technical traders would not even consider a bounce until there was more downside.
What comes next, then?We are probably going to see a test of the $0.0000075-$0.0000078 zone if even a small portion of that 120 billion SHIB supply is market-sold; if panic sets in, it might even be lower. If those inflows indicate whales getting ready for accumulation through stop-hunts or liquidity sweeps, then there is only one bullish counterargument.

However, the bulls now bear the burden of proof rather than the bears. As of right now, the data is clear: more SHIB is joining exchanges than departing. It is a sign that the market is getting ready to sell, not a sign of confidence.

Mt. Gox Just Moved Nearly $1B in Bitcoin. Should You Be Worried?
Mt. Gox just shook the crypto market again. After eight months of silence, the defunct exchange suddenly moved 10,608 Bitcoin worth almost 1 billion dollars, setting off a wave of speculation, fear, and on-chain detective work. The timing couldn’t be more dramatic: creditor repayments have already been pushed back to late 2026, leaving billions in locked-up BTC and a decade-long saga that refuses to end. The question now is simple. Was this just a routine shuffle, or a warning shot that more turbulence is coming?
What Triggered the Panic?Mt. Gox suddenly shifted 10,608 BTC worth about 953 million dollars into a fresh wallet. This is the exchange’s biggest move in eight months, and the first transfer over the million-dollar mark since March. The crypto market wasn’t expecting any activity right now, especially because the exchange has once again pushed back creditor repayments to October 2026.
Why Is Mt. Gox Still Delaying Payments?According to the trustee, creditor paperwork is still incomplete, so the repayment deadline has been officially extended by another year. This might sound frustrating, but it actually means one thing for the market: nearly 4 billion dollars worth of Bitcoin will stay locked up until late 2026. That delay reduces the immediate fear of a giant sell-off that could crush BTC’s price.
How Much Bitcoin Does Mt. Gox Still Hold?
Even after the latest transfer, Mt. Gox still controls 34,689 BTC valued at a little over 3.1 billion dollars. That stash hasn’t moved. And importantly, none of the newly transferred coins have been sent to exchanges. The receiving address labeled 1ANkD is just holding the 10,608 BTC for now, which suggests no sale is happening yet.
Is This a Sign They Are Preparing to Sell?Some analysts think so. Jacob King from SwanDesk warned that Mt. Gox might be gearing up to dump the coins into a weak market.
This kind of speculation always shakes traders a bit, especially during corrections. But here’s the thing: on-chain data shows zero movements toward centralized exchanges. Until that happens, a sale isn’t confirmed.
Does Mt. Gox Still Affect Bitcoin’s Price?Much less than before. Since the rehab process started releasing small batches of BTC in July 2024, Bitcoin has climbed from around 56,000 dollars to over 91,000 dollars today. Institutional buyers, corporate treasuries, and US spot ETFs are absorbing new supply far faster than Mt. Gox can release it.
Mt. Gox used to dominate the crypto world, handling more than 70 percent of all Bitcoin trades in its prime. Its collapse in 2014 after losing 850,000 BTC remains one of the largest disasters in crypto history. Since then, creditors have spent a decade waiting through endless delays, legal hurdles, and shifting repayment schedules.
The Bottom LineYes, the transfer grabbed headlines. Yes, people panicked. But the coins haven’t hit exchanges, and repayments are pushed to 2026, which actually keeps billions of dollars in Bitcoin off the market. For now, this is noise, not a threat. Investors should watch the wallets closely, but there’s no sign of a sell-off yet.
