This Bitcoin Price Pattern Has Emerged 3 Times Since Late 2023, Triggering Corrections cryptonews
BTC
Key moving averages remain crucial support levels as long-term investors trim holdings, adding pressure to the ongoing bull market. Nov 5, 2025, 10:33 a.m.

Bitcoin BTC$101,521.21 briefly fell below $100,000 for the first time since June on Tuesday, reaching lows of around $98,951. The drop took the largest cryptocurrency below two key support levels needed to sustain the current bull market, fueling concerns the decline may gather steam.

The two levels, the 365-day simple moving average (SMA) and the 365-day exponential moving average (EMA), are currently $102,055 and $99,924, respectively. Both have already been tested during this bull cycle.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

In August 2024, bitcoin used the 365-day SMA, the average closing price over that period giving equal weight to each, as a key support level around $48,963, while briefly dipping below the EMA price, which gives more weight to recent readings. Then, during April's “tariff tantrum,” bitcoin dropped as low as $76,500, breaking below both moving averages before reclaiming them shortly after.

Where is the selling pressure coming from?The selling pressure continues to come from long-term holders, defined as investors who have held their bitcoin for at least 155 days. The supply held by this cohort is now about 14.4 million BTC, down from more than 14.7 million BTC at the peak in July.

This marks the third notable wave of selling by this group since late 2023. Each time has added downward pressure that leads to price consolidation or even corrections — drops of 10% or more — after a period of rallying prices. The previous instance occurred during the November 2024 rally following President Trump’s election victory.

Bitcoin risks crashing to $80,000 as long bear-cycle signal emerges cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin’s (BTC) new bearish sentiment and historical price movement suggest that the maiden cryptocurrency may be entering a fresh downturn cycle.

This outlook, shared by prominent online cryptocurrency analyst TradingShot in a TradingView post on November 11, came as Bitcoin slipped below the $110,000 mark.

Analysis of weekly price charts shows that Bitcoin has been testing the crucial 50-week moving average (MA), a historically decisive level in cycle shifts. A sustained close below this indicator has previously triggered deeper corrections.

Bitcoin price analysis chart. Source: TradingView
The analyst noted that in 2021, Bitcoin peaked roughly seven weeks before U.S. equities, and a similar divergence appears to be unfolding again, with the S&P 500 setting new record highs while BTC retreats.

According to the analysis, Bitcoin topped earlier this year near $120,000 and has since formed lower highs and declining RSI peaks, mirroring the setup seen ahead of the 2022 breakdown.

TradingShot’s cycle mapping further highlighted a repeating market rotation pattern: the last bull cycle ended with capital flowing out of crypto and into equities, with stocks peaking shortly after Bitcoin. The current setup shows a similar lag, suggesting equities could top out toward late November if the timeline holds.

Bitcoin’s next target 
If Bitcoin decisively loses the 1-week 50-MA, technical projections point to a possible retest of the 1-week 100-MA near the mid-$80,000 zone and a prolonged consolidation range between these two trend lines. 

In the previous cycle, that phase preceded an eventual capitulation move toward the 1-month 100-MA, currently far lower, signaling potential downside risk if the pattern repeats.

This bearish outlook comes as Bitcoin briefly fell below the $100,000 level, hitting its lowest price since late June amid a broad crypto-market correction.

The sell-off follows the Federal Reserve’s unexpectedly hawkish stance last week, which dampened hopes for an interest-rate cut in December. Bitcoin’s weakness has frustrated investors, especially as it coincides with record highs in equities and, until recently, gold.

Bitcoin price analysis
By press time, Bitcoin was trading at $101,850, down almost 2% in the past 24 hours and 10% lower on the week.

As it stands, Bitcoin’s main challenge is to survive and maintain a price above $100,000 to minimize the risk of renewed declines.

Whales Scoop 323,523 ETH Amid Price Dip – Is Ethereum Price Correction Setting Up a 10K Wave? cryptonews
ETH
Why Trust CoinGape

CoinGape has covered the cryptocurrency industry since 2017, aiming to provide informative insights to our readers. Our journal analysts bring years of experience in market analysis and blockchain technology to ensure factual accuracy and balanced reporting. By following our Editorial Policy, our writers verify every source, fact-check each story, rely on reputable sources, and attribute quotes and media correctly. We also follow a rigorous Review Methodology when evaluating exchanges and tools. From emerging blockchain projects and coin launches to industry events and technical developments, we cover all facets of the digital asset space with unwavering commitment to timely, relevant information.

The Ethereum price has come under renewed focus following analysts’ projections of a major rebound toward $10,000. CrediBull Crypto highlighted that the current decline is part of a healthy correction before a stronger third wave rally. Meanwhile, recent on-chain data shows whales have accumulated over $1.12 billion worth of ETH. This move reinforces long-term confidence in the asset. Despite short-term downside pressure, market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic as accumulation intensifies around key demand zones. 

Ethereum Price Action Shows Short-Term Weakness Before Major Upside Setup
CrediBull Crypto’s latest analysis suggests the current Ethereum price correction could be a critical prelude to a major rally that propels the coin toward the $10,000 mark. The analyst explained that Ethereum is now in its subwave 2 phase, a typical mid-cycle retracement that resets market structure before an explosive wave 3 advance. 

Besides, he highlighted that revisiting the $2,800 zone would mark the most strategic accumulation level since $1,500, creating ideal conditions for long-term investors to re-enter. This pattern, he added, mirrors past bullish setups where deep pullbacks preceded historic rallies. 

Therefore, the future Ethereum price projection remains bullish, as the current correction appears to be the final shakeout before Ethereum begins its next impulsive wave toward a five-digit valuation.

Deeper Dive into Analyst Projections and Chart Structure
At the time of press, ETH value sits at $3,309, gradually stabilizing after breaking below the $3,359 support. The chart clearly outlines a descending structure signaling short-term control by sellers, yet it simultaneously hints at a maturing correction phase. 

The DMI indicator highlights that bearish pressure remains elevated, though its intensity is tapering, suggesting a possible reversal near the $2,800 launch zone. This level aligns with a historical demand area where buyers have repeatedly regained dominance, marking a turning point for past rallies. 

If Ethereum successfully rebounds from this launch zone, the ensuing move could propel it beyond $3,906, $4,290 and $4,959, reinforcing expectations of a new impulsive advance. Such a recovery would validate analysts’ belief that the ongoing correction is setting the stage for Ethereum’s projected 10K wave.

ETH/USD 1-Day Chart (Source: TradingView)
Whale Accumulation Reinforces Confidence in Ethereum’s Long-Term Outlook
Whale activity has surged notably over the past week, coinciding with Ethereum’s dip toward key technical supports. Lookonchain reported that whales purchased more than 323,000 ETH—valued at approximately $1.12 billion—over two days, signaling renewed accumulation at perceived bargain levels. This influx demonstrates that large holders view the current price range as an attractive entry before the next impulsive wave predicted by analysts.

Meanwhile, institutional involvement continues to strengthen confidence further. Coin Bureau revealed that Tom Lee’s BitMine Immersion expanded its Ethereum holdings by an additional $300 million, raising its total exposure to $13.7 billion.  

Adding to this narrative, SharpLink accumulation of $78.3 million worth of ETH from FalconX further reinforces that smart money continues to buy the dip. This sizable accumulation, especially amid market corrections, aligns with the broader institutional strategy of capitalizing on discounted valuations ahead of a projected recovery. 

Collectively, these whale and corporate inflows bolster on-chain fundamentals and confirm rising optimism about Ethereum’s long-term trajectory.

Summary 
Ethereum’s short-term correction appears to align with both technical and institutional accumulation signals. Analysts foresee the $2,800 zone as the likely bottom before the next impulsive surge. With whales and firms like BitMine positioning aggressively, the ETH price outlook suggests a robust foundation for a potential rally toward the $10,000 mark. The convergence of chart dynamics and whale behavior strengthens confidence that Ethereum’s next major move could redefine its mid-term trajectory.

Strategy Won't Face Bitcoin Liquidation, Says Expert, as MSTR Stock Crashes 7% cryptonews
BTC
Key NotesWilly Woo said that unless Bitcoin fails to rally strongly during the 2028 bull market, Strategy doesn’t face any major liquidation risk.Bitcoin analyst The Bitcoin Therapist said that it would take an “extremely sustained bear market” for Strategy to be forced into liquidation.MSTR shares fell 7% to $246, with analyst Ali Martinez warning that the stock price could decline further to $100.
With MSTR stock on a continuous decline, experts have raised doubts over the company’s ability to repay its debt. Some reports suggest that Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) could sell its BTC

to cover the debt during the next crypto market downturn. However, market expert Willy Woo believes that such a scenario won’t arise. 

Strategy Is Insulated from Liquidation, Says Willy Woo
According to analyst Willy Woo, Strategy faces approximately $1.01 billion in debt maturing on Sept. 15, 2027. To avoid selling its Bitcoin holdings for repayment, MSTR stock must trade above $183.19. This level roughly corresponds with a Bitcoin price of around $91,502, assuming a multiple net asset value (mNAV) of 1.

MSTR liquidation in the next bear market? I doubt it,

Here's their debt, the date the debt is due and the price MSTR stock needs to exceed to prevent partial liquidation of their BTC treasury to pay the debt. Equivalent BTC price assumes mNAV 1.0 pic.twitter.com/AzVgecI7i2

— Willy Woo (@woonomic) November 4, 2025

Woo said that while a liquidation is unlikely in the next bear market, it could occur if Bitcoin fails to deliver a strong rally during the expected 2028 bull cycle. “Ironically, there’s a chance of a partial liquidation if BTC doesn’t climb in value fast enough in an assumed 2028 bull market,” Willy Woo said.

Bitcoin analyst The Bitcoin Therapist also shared a similar view. He stated that Bitcoin would need to “perform horribly” in the next market downturn for Strategy to be forced into selling its Bitcoin holdings.

He added that it would take “one hell of a sustained bear market” for any liquidation to occur. Currently, Michael Saylor’s Strategy holds about 641,205 BTC, valued at roughly $64 billion, following its latest purchase earlier this week.

In the latest development, Strategy announced a proposed initial public offering of 3.5 million shares of its 10.00% Series A Perpetual Stream Preferred Stock. STRE shares carry a face value of €100 each and offer cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 10%.

MSTR Stock Price Crash 7%
Amid all the developments, MSTR stock price has corrected another 7% on Nov. 4, ending the trading at $246 levels. Despite strong Q3 results, with MSTR eyeing an entry to the S&P 500, the bulls have so far failed to lead a sustained upside.

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted that MSTR stock continues to mirror its previous price fractal. According to him, if the pattern holds, the next potential move could see the stock drop to around $100.

XRP 1,000,000,000 Threshold Gone cryptonews

Significant swings have been occurring on XRP, and the on-chain metrics indicate a worrying pattern: the 1,000,000,000 threshold in the volume of payments between accounts has disappeared. Let's examine the current situation and the changing dynamics of the market. We can observe from the on-chain data that the volume of payments has significantly decreased over the past week, losing momentum.

XRP's critical correctionThe Oct. 22, 2025, transaction volume peak now appears far off as the volume of transactions is declining into lower territory. A clear indication of the declining market enthusiasm is the sharp drop in transaction activity. A significant decline like this might indicate that XRP is entering a critical stage of price correction. 

XRP/USDT Chart by TradingViewAs transaction volume declines, market sentiment has historically been affected in a cascading manner, leading to additional sell-offs. The performance of XRP on the price chart has been alarming. The RSI is trending in the oversold area, pending a critical support level. The recent decline in XRP is consistent with a decline in on-chain metrics as the asset is testing lower price levels. As of press time, XRP is trading at about $2.04, which is a considerable decline from its previous highs.

Transactions volume turns to dustThe momentum has clearly shifted to the downside despite previous upward movements. There is growing evidence of the connection between price action and on-chain metrics. The price that is currently encountering increasing resistance in the $2.40 to $2.60 range has decreased in tandem with the volume of transactions. 

Since there is no sign of an immediate recovery, it is possible that XRP will test the next support zones and return to its lower price levels. It will be crucial for XRP in the coming weeks. Any reversal in on-chain metrics and price performance should be monitored by investors, particularly in relation to volume spikes or breaks in resistance levels. The short-term market may be dominated by a persistent downward trend until then.

The crypto markets arrive at midweek under extreme tension. The macro driver is no longer regulation or rates but capital exhaustion. Institutional buyers have slowed, and spot ETF flows now show five consecutive red sessions. Bitcoin has dipped below the "Black Friday" price point, briefly losing the psychological $100,000 zone.

Bitwise says yesWith everyone panicking on social media about a new "crypto winter," Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan gave a totally different message, saying that retail investors are "in maximum despair mode," selling into every dip and leaving the market entirely.

According to Bitwise's internal flow data, this is exactly how the final capitulation before trend reversals typically looks. Forced liquidations and profit exits are the name of the game in retail, but institutional desks are holding their own. Hougan pointed out that major advisory firms, funds and ETF desks are still buying into Bitcoin instead of selling.

He mentioned that money keeps flowing into IBIT, FBTC and GBTC, even during market corrections. Meanwhile, the Solana Spot ETF (BSOL) raised over $400 million in its first week, even though there has been a general move away from risk — a sign that capital rotation is happening, not capital flight.

Bitwise thinks the worst of the selling is about to end. Hougan reaffirmed two target ranges:

Realistic: $125,000-$130,000 BTC before the end of the year.Optimistic (Saylor-level): $150,000 BTC if institutional confidence stabilizes before December.For him, it all looks like a repeat of 2020's consolidation before the breakout, when sentiment collapsed right before the next leg higher.

Unique 3% XRP ETF achieves key DTCC listingThe Amplify XRP 3% Monthly Option Income ETF (XRPM) has officially been listed on the DTCC. For those who are unfamiliar with it, registration is the final step before trading begins. Without it, brokers and market makers cannot process fund transactions. 

Listing under the XRPM ticker confirms that the ETF is cleared for integration into brokerage systems. This is expected to trigger the first XRP-based income-generating product on U.S. markets.

The ETF is designed to deliver a yield of about 3% per month through covered call strategies on XRP positions. Its structure mimics that of popular equity income ETFs, bringing a passive-income instrument to digital assets like XRP for the first time.

According to the preliminary prospectus, the new XRP fund will trade on Cboe BZX and redeem shares only in institutional "creation units."

If everything goes according to plan, XRP will become one of the few assets, alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, with both direct and derivative ETF infrastructure in the U.S. pipeline.

Bitcoin and Ethereum lose $800 million in one dayThe ETF data for Nov. 4, 2025, is pure pain.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs: $577.7 million in net outflows.Spot Ethereum ETFs: - $219.3 million in net outflows.That is a combined $797 million withdrawn in 24 hours — the largest synchronized red print since mid-September.

Over the last five trading sessions, both BTC and ETH funds have seen consecutive net withdrawals, cutting Bitcoin’s cumulative net inflows down to $60.42 billion and Ethereum’s to $14.01 billion. The previous week had already shown stress, with BTC down $798.95 million and ETH barely positive.

Source: SoSoValueMarket reaction has been immediate. Bitcoin traded below $100,000 overnight before recovering to $101,800 by Wednesday morning. Ethereum held around $2,900, down from recent $3,200 tests.

Analyst Charles Edwards from Capriole Investments summarized the concern in his newest thread, highlighting that for the first time in seven months, net institutional buying has fallen below the daily mined supply — a sign of distribution overpowering accumulation. His warning: "When institutions stop buying, run."

The pattern at SoSoValue data backs this up. Bitcoin’s weekly net inflow fell $764.25 million, while Ethereum lost $355.13 million, marking the most severe combined decline in Q4.

Evening outlookFor now, the crypto market looks fragile, but the next few sessions may decide whether this correction matures into a full reversal or deepens into a real crypto winter.

Bitcoin (BTC): Bulls must defend the $100,000 point to prevent cascade selling into $93,000. Holding that range could set up a rebound to $112,000, where major resistance now sits.Ethereum (ETH): Pressure builds under $3,300. If it holds, a short-term recovery to $3,700 is still in play. But failure there shifts focus to the $2,500 support and a colder Q4 outlook.XRP: Trades in a fragile consolidation near $2.2, but support above $2 keeps ETF-driven optimism alive. A close over $2.50 would confirm trend revival, while a drop under $1.90 would cancel it.

The company confirmed on October 31 that it had taken up the loan. This move is a significant return to its digital asset accumulation strategy following a one-month pause.

The money will be invested in buying more Bitcoin, income-generating projects, and share buybacks. The firm explained that the loan amount constitutes only 3% of its total reserves in Bitcoin. This would allow for a collateral buffer during price drawdowns.

Currently, MetaPlanet owns 30,823 BTC, worth $3.33 billion, the fourth-largest Bitcoin Treasury in the world. The company also shared that all borrowing will be kept within safe collateral margins so as not to slow down long-term stability.

A portion of the new capital will be used to fund MetaPlanet’s income business, which consists of creating and selling cash-collateralized coin options; the firm says this model has provided consistent revenue while still keeping exposure.

Besides this, the management of MetaPlanet showed interest in re-buying company shares on the basis of market conditions. Such a move comes in correspondence with an equity acquisition cap of 75 billion yen set at the end of October.

The recent borrowing falls within MetaPlanet’s credit facility worth $500 million announced on October 28. The company confirmed that the loan is open-ended and can be repaid at any time.

Bitcoin Treasury to Resume After One-Month Pause
This is the first purchase by the Japanese company in more than a month. MetaPlanet last bought on October 1, adding 5,268 BTC for $116,870 apiece. Its year-to-date performance now reflects a stellar 497% return on Bitcoin investments.

Building on its treasure chest, MetaPlanet concluded an international share offering that was more than twice as large as originally planned to raise $1.4 billion. This expanded capital base has allowed it to pursue its long-term goal of acquiring 210,000 BTC by 2027.

In other news, US-based Hyperscale Data Inc announced that its Bitcoin treasury has surged to $73.5 million. The company’s Bitcoin reserve is at 61% of its market capitalization. Strategy also made their regular purchase of Bitcoin on Monday. They added 360 BTC worth around $45.6 million.

Omid Malekan Says Crypto Treasuries Hurt Bitcoin cryptonews
BTC
Reflecting this pressure, U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw $797 million in combined outflows on Tuesday, which suggests that there has been a decisive shift in institutional sentiment due to fears of delayed Federal Reserve rate cuts and a stronger dollar. Despite the downturn and heightened market fear, analysts like Derek Lim still believe that crypto’s long-term bullish structure is intact.

Crypto Firms Fueling Bitcoin’s DeclineBlockchain author and Columbia Business School adjunct professor Omid Malekan argued that discussions around Bitcoin’s recent price drop are overlooking a crucial factor — the impact of crypto treasury companies, also known as digital asset treasuries (DATs). According to Malekan, these entities, which became more common in 2025, contributed to the ongoing market decline through unsustainable business models and excessive token extraction.

“Any analysis of why crypto prices continue to fall needs to include DATs,” Malekan said in a post on X, and called them “a mass extraction and exit event — a reason for prices to go down.” He added that only a handful of these firms have genuinely tried to create sustainable value, while many others have been driven by speculative motives.

Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin dropped from its October all-time high of over $126,000 to trade between $99,000 and $113,000. Analysts attribute much of the weakness to trade tensions between the United States and China and other macroeconomic headwinds. 

However, Malekan’s comments suggest that corporate behavior in the crypto ecosystem may also be to blame. He claimed that many of the companies that bought Bitcoin and other digital assets for their balance sheets were set up by founders looking to capitalize on investor enthusiasm rather than build long-term businesses.

“Launching any kind of public entity is expensive,” Malekan explained, and pointed to the millions spent on fees for bankers, lawyers, and listing structures like SPACs and PIPEs. He suggested that much of the capital raised went to cover those costs, leaving firms financially stretched and dependent on token sales or debt to fund operations.

This year alone, 48 new companies reportedly added Bitcoin to their balance sheets, bringing the total number of corporate holders to 207 with more than one million BTC — worth over $101 billion. Ethereum also saw strong adoption, with 70 firms collectively holding 6.14 million ETH worth more than $20 billion.

While the rise of DATs has been considered a sign of institutional adoption, Malekan warned that it may have instead amplified volatility by turning once-locked tokens into liquid supply. “Raising too much money and minting too many tokens even if they are locked or for ecosystem growth is the gangrene of crypto,” he said.

Outflows Hit Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFsThe pressure on the crypto market was also reflected in the performance of spot crypto exchange traded funds (ETFs). In fact, Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs in the United States saw massive outflows totaling $797 million on Tuesday, which suggests that there has been a major shift in institutional sentiment.

Data from Farside Investors shows that spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $566.4 million in outflows, which was the largest single-day withdrawal since Aug. 1. Fidelity’s FBTC led the exodus with $356.6 million exiting the fund, followed by Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB with $128 million and Grayscale’s GBTC with $48.9 million. In total, seven Bitcoin ETFs reported negative flows, extending their outflow streak to five consecutive days and bringing the total outflows during this period to $1.9 billion.

Ethereum ETFs were not spared, with $219.37 million in net outflows led by BlackRock’s ETHA, which saw $111 million leave the fund. Grayscale and Fidelity’s Ethereum ETFs also recorded big withdrawals. Meanwhile, Solana ETFs managed to buck the trend with $14.83 million in net inflows, though this was their smallest daily increase since launching last week.

Rachael Lucas, a crypto analyst at BTC Markets, described the latest ETF movements as “a decisive shift in institutional positioning,” and explained that this is more than a temporary pause — it represents a broader recalibration of strategy. She believes that institutions are reducing exposure as part of risk management after the US Federal Reserve’s recent hawkish stance. Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s comments last month dimmed hopes for a December rate cut and strengthened the US dollar index above 100, fueling a selloff across risk assets, including crypto.

The broader sentiment soured very quickly, with the crypto Fear and Greed Index plunging to 21 from 42 in a single day, indicating “extreme fear.” Derek Lim, research lead at Caladan, said Powell’s statements and concerns about the US government shutdown amplified uncertainty and triggered a risk-off mood.

Despite the turbulence, Lim still believes that the long-term bullish outlook for crypto remains intact. He argued that while delayed rate cuts might weigh on markets short term, the overall macro environment is still moving toward monetary easing. Lim added that Bitcoin’s recent 21.5% correction from $125,000 to $99,000 is relatively moderate compared to earlier pullbacks this year.

Spot BTC ETFs fail to sure up Bitcoin decline as outflow streak hits $1.9B cryptonews
BTC
Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a sharp $566.4 million outflow on Tuesday, Nov. 4, extending its five-day drain to roughly $1.9 billion and decisively flipping the week’s tone into risk-off.

Fidelity’s FBTC accounted for the majority of the exits at -$356.6 million, with ARKB at -$128.1 million and Grayscale’s GBTC at -$48.9 million. No fund posted an inflow.

This is the largest single-day outflow since Aug. 1, a fresh new high for redemptions in the second half of the year. The rolling five-day tally is now near $1.9 billion.

Table showing the flows for spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US from Oct. 17 to Nov. 4, 2025 (Source: Farside Investors)Bitcoin’s price action offered little cushioning to the ETF market. Bitcoin briefly dipped below the coveted $100,000 level on major US exchanges on Tuesday before stabilizing just above $100,000 into Wednesday morning. Aggregated data puts Bitcoin’s average price on Nov. 4 at $101,475, with the early hours of Nov. 5 bringing little upside to the price.

Graph showing Bitcoin’s price from Oct. 30 to Nov. 5, 2025 (Source: CryptoSlate BTC)Yesterday’s outflow was concentrated at Fidelity’s FBTC, while ARKB and GBTC added notable, but significantly smaller redemptions. It’s a noteworthy change from Monday outflows, where BlackRock’s IBIT accounted for almost all of the outflows.

The setup that leads into the second half of the week is now pretty straightforward. With Bitcoin struggling to find stability at $100,000 and realized volatility increasing, the next ETF print will have a significant impact on near-term sentiment. Another significant redemption in the next two to three days would reinforce the idea that de-risking is now being expressed through the largest and most liquid wrappers. It will take more than a single day of net creations to reverse this risk-off sentiment.

When analyzing the macro context behind ETF flows, it’s important to focus on the classic feedback loop: flows influence AP’s hedging and inventory, which then influences spot liquidity, which then influences derivatives positioning and funding. That loop can easily loosen or tighten within a couple of trading days.

Given the scale and concentration of Tuesday’s outflows, we’ll be carefully watching FBTC’s next print, the persistence of GBTC’s outflows, and whether ARKB’s redemptions continue in size. If the streak breaks, and we see a large fund like IBIT posting inflows again, there’s a good chance Bitcoin’s price will be able to find support above $100,000. If these outflows extend, the market will have to absorb a new wave of selling pressure at a time when both liquidity and confidence are already in short supply.

44,000 Bitcoin millionaires added in one year since Trump's election win cryptonews
BTC
The number of Bitcoin millionaires has risen sharply in the year since Donald Trump was confirmed as the winner of the U.S. presidential election on November 5, 2024. 

New on-chain data reviewed by Finbold Research indicates that the count of Bitcoin (BTC) wallet addresses holding at least $1 million in BTC increased by approximately 44,783 over the 12-month period, marking a rise of around 33.8%. On average, this equates to roughly 3,700 new millionaire-tier Bitcoin addresses being added each month.

As of November 5, 2025, there are now 156,705 wallet addresses holding between $1 million and $9.99 million worth of BTC, compared to 120,851 recorded a year earlier. Additionally, the number of addresses holding $10 million or more in Bitcoin increased from 11,697 to 20,626 over the same period. Combined, this places the total number of millionaire-level Bitcoin addresses at roughly 177,331.

How the Bitcoin rich list unfolded
The rise in millionaire-tier BTC addresses on the Bitcoin rich list unfolded over a full year of appreciation followed by volatility. On November 5, 2024, the day of the U.S. election, Bitcoin traded near $69,000. From that starting point, the price advanced in stages over the next eleven months, supported by renewed institutional interest, improving risk appetite, and growing expectations of a friendlier policy environment. That steady climb culminated in a new all-time high above $126,000 in October 2025.

After the October peak, momentum cooled. Bitcoin cycled through several corrections and, within the last 24 hours, briefly slipped below $100,000 for the first time in months. The latest downdraft extends weakness that began in mid-October and has kept price action choppy into early November.

This market backdrop coincided with a shift in U.S. political tone toward digital assets. During the campaign and after returning to office, President Trump signaled an intent to position the United States as a leader in Bitcoin and crypto innovation, with public messaging around clearer rules and support for domestic mining. 

While detailed frameworks are still being shaped, the more constructive stance appears to have influenced sentiment among institutional and high-net-worth participants. The continued expansion of millionaire-tier BTC wallets during both the advance and the subsequent pullbacks points to ongoing accumulation with a long-term horizon.

BTC growth post-election
Bitcoin’s growth one year post-election highlights how investor positioning and wealth concentration within the network continue to evolve in response to political signals, macroeconomic forces, and long-term expectations for digital assets.

With the next phase of regulatory clarity and institutional participation still forming, the distribution of Bitcoin wealth will remain a closely watched indicator of market confidence heading into 2026.

Finally, for clarity, a single person can control more than one Bitcoin address. Thus, the millionaire address count does not equal the exact number of unique investors, but the trend remains a meaningful indicator of where larger holdings are concentrated.

Monero Bucks Market Downturn as Privacy Narrative Strengthens cryptonews
XMR
In brief
Monero surged to a high of $377.63 Wednesday morning amid a $2 billion market sell-off, bucking the wider bearish trend in the crypto market.
The rally signals a capital rotation from other privacy coins like Zcash and Dash.
Experts cited the tightening of 2026 regulations as a key driver of the privacy narrative.
Monero is defying the trend with a notable rally amid a broader financial market sell-off, suggesting continued capital rotation within the privacy-focused crypto sector.

The privacy-based altcoin hit an intraday high of $377.63, and is currently up 4.4% over the past 24 hours and 13.4% over the past month, according to CoinGecko data, even as the crypto market reels in the face of a $2 billion liquidation event.

The move appears to be part of a sector-specific rotation away from other privacy coins like Zcash, Dash, and Decred, which notched double-digit gains on Tuesday. On Wednesday, however, these altcoins are down between 6% and 20% over the past 24 hours, suggesting that capital is rotating toward Monero, one of the oldest and most established privacy projects.

Privacy coins risingThe underlying driver is a growing narrative about financial anonymity, experts told Decrypt.

“With global regulations tightening and exchanges required to report wallet ownership to tax authorities starting in 2026, privacy has turned into one of the strongest narratives in crypto,” Georgii Verbitskii, founder of TYMIO, previously told Decrypt.

This sentiment is echoed by Slava Demchuk, CEO of blockchain analytics firm AMLBot, who said that increased scrutiny on major blockchains is pushing users toward alternatives. “A combination of growing surveillance and reduced privacy on major chains is likely fueling the recent surge in privacy token prices.”

The pattern of capital finding "pockets of strength" in specific niches, even during broader downturns, is a characteristic of the current market cycle, Peter Chung, Head of Research at Presto Research, previously told Decrypt. Chung noted that these pockets of strength in privacy coins were driven by retail interest.

Monero's resilience further highlights a flight to assets perceived as non-correlated havens within the digital asset ecosystem, as traders seek shelter from the market-wide storm in projects with strong, unique value propositions.

ASTER, HYPE Lead Altcoin Recovery, BTC Bounces Above $100K: Market Watch cryptonews
ASTER BTC
The total crypto market cap dumped by $400 billion in two days before today's minor recovery.

Bitcoin’s nosedive culminated yesterday with a massive price plunge to just under $99,000, which became its lowest level in almost five months.

Many altcoins followed suit, including ETH, which turned negative for the year. Now, though, a few of them have posted impressive increases, led by ASTER and HYPE.

BTC Bounces Above $100K
It was just a week ago when the primary cryptocurrency challenged the $116,000 resistance. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts, the asset was pushed south and tumbled below $107,000 after the US Fed cut the interest rates.

It recovered some ground by the weekend and stood between $110,000 and $111,000. Then came Monday, and all hell broke loose. BTC dumped to $104,000 and, after a minor bounce later that day, initiated another substantial leg down on Tuesday. The most impactful decline took place yesterday evening when bitcoin slumped below $100,000 and bottomed at just under $99,000.

This marked its lowest price point since mid-June, prompting analysts to speculate that the bear market has begun. The bulls finally intervened at this point and helped BTC rebound slightly to just over $101,000 as of press time.

Nevertheless, its market cap has suffered badly and is down to $2.020 trillion on CG. Its dominance over the alts, though, has increased further to 58.6%.

HYPE, ASTER on the Rebound
The altcoins were battered yesterday as well, including their leader. ETH plunged from $3,900 on Sunday to under $3,200 on Tuesday evening, thus erasing all gains charted in 2025. On a daily scale, ETH has neared $3,300, but it’s still the worst-performing larger-cap alt.

XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE, ADA, LINK, BCH, and XLM are also in the red, while HYPE, ASTER, and BGB have charted 6-7% gains overnight.

The cumulative market cap of all crypto assets dumped by more than $400 billion from top to bottom in just two days before it rebounded to $3.450 trillion as of press time.

XRP could crash to $2 after losing $25 billion in market cap cryptonews
XRP
XRP is on an overall downward path this week, which culminated in the early hours on Wednesday, November 5, when the price crashed towards $2.

The cryptocurrency had been showing signs of weakness from a technical perspective since the end of October, with a descending pattern characterized by lower highs and lower lows.

Analysts such as Ali Martinez noted on November 5 the bearish momentum when the token slipped beneath key mid-range resistance around $2.60, predicting that selling pressure could send the price toward $2.

$2! ✔️ https://t.co/j8xAKWrY9f

— Ali (@ali_charts) November 5, 2025

While the asset has managed to recover somewhat, trading at $2.23 at press time, the price is still down over 15.5% on the weekly chart, and a lot of risk still lingers as another break below $2 could open the door to a deeper slide toward roughly $1.90.

What’s more, when the price crashed, XRP’s market cap also sank to just south of $127 billion, down by as much as $25 billion from Monday’s highs of approximately $152 billion. 

XRP price and market cap. Source: CoinMarketCap
Why is the XRP price down?
The broader market shake-out has also weighed heavily on XRP. Indeed, the overall crypto market cap sits at $3.38 trillion at publication time, down from $3.56 trillion recorded a day earlier, as per CoinMarketCap. Moreover, nearly $836 billion in crypto liquidations in 24 hours has intensified pressure across the altcoin space.

Speculation around new XRP ETFs is also affecting investor sentiment. Namely, Franklin Templeton and Bitwise have submitted new filings with mid-November approval windows, and while the developments suggest institutional interest, traders appear to be cashing out.

As already mentioned, momentum indicators have turned bearish. XRP slipped under the 38.2% Fibonacci level at $2.47 and lost the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $2.60.  

At the same time, the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) histogram has gone negative, reinforcing the bearish rotation. Likewise, the short-term relative strength index (RSI) at 24.84 implies the market is deep in “oversold” waters.

New Falcon for XIoT innovations bring deeper industrial and OT telemetry into the Falcon platform, eliminating blind spots and complexity across environments

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fal.Con Europe, Barcelona – CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced new Falcon® for XIoT innovations, delivering zero-touch asset discovery, real-time segmentation visibility, and unified insight across OT and XIoT environments. These innovations extend the protection of the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform, eliminating blind spots and complexity while consolidating security across IT, cloud, and OT/XIoT environments.

The Expanding Operational Attack Surface

As industrial systems become increasingly connected, security teams face growing blind spots across segmented networks, unmanaged devices, and legacy infrastructure.

Zero-Touch Discovery and Unified Visibility for OT Security

Falcon for XIoT delivers continuous operational insight without the hardware dependencies, intrusive scans, or manual effort common in legacy OT tools. With Falcon’s lightweight architecture, defenders gain safe, scalable visibility into operational environments that doesn’t disrupt critical systems. By bringing in additional OT and XIoT telemetry, the Falcon platform gains richer context for faster, smarter security decisions across operational environments.

New Falcon for XIoT Capabilities

CrowdStrike’s latest innovations enhance discovery, monitoring, and asset interaction visibility, providing deeper insights and control over industrial system risks:

Zero-Touch XIoT Discovery: Automatically identifies and inventories industrial assets across segmented networks without dedicated sensors, manual configuration, or intrusive scans – delivering instant visibility without disrupting operations.

Barratt Redrow says full-year performance depends on Budget stocknewsapi
BTDPF BTDPY
Barratt Redrow PLC (LSE:BTRW) shares responded slightly positively as the housebuilder reported a solid start to its new financial year.

Private reservation rates held steady at 0.57 per site per week despite economic uncertainty ahead of the Budget later this month.

Total completions rose 7.9% to 3,665 homes, and full-year volume guidance of 17,200–17,800 units was maintained.

So far, £80 million of the intended £100 million cost synergies from the integration of Redrow have been made.

"Our FY26 performance remains dependent on normal seasonal trading patterns for the remainder of the financial year and the impact of the upcoming Budget on demand," the company said in the statement ahead of its annual shareholder meeting. 

Broker Stifel said the statement showed a "resilience [that] is encouraging given the general caution in the economy ahead of a difficult Budget",

It sees the shares as undervalued at 0.8x book value. "The shares are trading at levels normally seen in recessions, not seen since 2012, when its return on equity was 4% (v 7% now).

"Short-term catalysts are not obvious, but consumers’ balance sheets continue to build and mortgage rates fall, bringing a turning point for the housing market nearer, in our view."

RUNSTACK Announces Meta-Agent AI Systems with Self-building and Self-healing Saas Service stocknewsapi
META
NORTH YORK, Ontario, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RUNSTACK Inc., a Canadian AI-tech startup building the next generation of AI agent infrastructure, today announced its official entry into the market. While the company’s products are not yet publicly available, RUNSTACK revealed that its forthcoming platform will fundamentally change how people deploy, coordinate, and scale AI agents across teams, tools, and data environments.

Beyond simple connectivity, these agents also collaborate with one another and other agents in real time. The company combines proprietary deep-tech components with emerging standards such as Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication and Model-Context Protocols (MCPs) to form an extensible architecture for intelligent automation.

“Today, to use AI agents, you need to code or learn complex interfaces,” said Nate Gibson, Co-founder and CTO of RUNSTACK. “Work is not broken, software is, so we have removed the software from the equation. You chat to RUNSTACK, and that is the entire interface.”

RUNSTACK’s platform enables people and companies to create and orchestrate autonomous teams of AI agents capable of managing workflows that typically require human oversight, such as project management, customer support, risk analysis, documentation, and sales operations. These agents are fully customized through Agent Blueprints and can be connected to tools via a self-learning integration engine known as Tooler, which automatically learns external APIs, tests them, and deploys connected agents in minutes.

The result is what the company calls “AI that works together so you don’t have to.” Instead of individual chatbots or siloed automations, RUNSTACK builds entire AI organizations that can plan, delegate, and execute tasks collaboratively, mirroring the dynamics of real-world teams.

“We are not making people redundant, we are making them irreplaceable." said Nate Gibson. “RUNSTACK is different. We have an ecosystem of meta-agents that collaborate to oversee all aspects of the system. It’s a fundamentally new layer in the AI stack.”

RUNSTACK’s early partners include select startups and research organizations working to accelerate operational automation using multi-agent systems. The company plans to release a private beta in early 2026, followed by a staged public rollout later in the year.

Founded in 2025, RUNSTACK operates at the intersection of AI infrastructure, automation, and human-machine collaboration. The company’s mission is to help people offload redundant and repetitive work so they can focus on high-value, creative, and strategic work.

Perplexity shopping bot not welcome at Amazon shop stocknewsapi

Amazon is demanding that artificial intelligence startup Perplexity put a stop to its bot shopping for people at the e-commerce giant's retail platform, the companies said on Tuesday.

Amazon sent Perplexity a cease-and-desist letter that sets the stage for a lawsuit if AI agent Comet continues to serve as a personal shopper for customers.

"We've repeatedly requested that Perplexity remove Amazon from the Comet experience," an Amazon spokesperson said in response to an AFP inquiry.

"Particularly in light of the significantly degraded shopping and customer service experience it provides."

Amazon also contends that Comet's automated shopping is violating terms of service by not disclosing it is independently doing the shopping for users.

In a blog post, San Francisco-based Perplexity accused Amazon of using a "bully tactic" to scare "disruptive companies" from making shopping easier for people.

Like other generative AI tools, Comet has evolved beyond finding information or crafting text to independently performing computer tasks such as booking reservations or tending to online shopping.

Amazon says Perplexity has failed to take personalized recommendations into account and its AI agent is making mistakes regarding delivery times.

The retail colossus also argued that Perplexity uses tactics to gain "unauthorized access" for shopping at the platform, failing to operate "transparently."

Amazon is testing its own AI agents capable of handling all stages of shopping for customers and uses data it collects to target products and ads.

Perplexity, valued recently at some $20 billion, is among tech firms developing AI agents that work in web browsers, tending to internet tasks for users.

Generative AI star OpenAI last month launched a ChatGPT Atlas web browser on Apple computers that is capable of shopping at some websites.

Similar AI agent shopping capabilities are expected to be added to Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers in coming months.

Delta Becomes the First Company in the Global ICT Industry to Attain the ISO 59004 Circular Economy Certification stocknewsapi
DAL
, /PRNewswire/ -- Delta, a global leader in power management and smart green solutions, announced today it has achieved the world's first ISO 59004 Circular Economy Certification within the global ICT industry. With an exceptional score of 5 out of 5 in the comprehensive audit, Delta demonstrated a well-engineered, enterprise-wide circular economy management system, encompassing key activities such as circular procurement, design for circularity, process optimization, resource recovery and recycling, and waste management.

Jesse Chou, Delta's Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer, stated, "We are honored to be the first in the global ICT industry to achieve ISO 59004 certification. This independent validation allows us to align our circular strategies and practices with international standards. Delta has long championed circular economy principles—from raw materials and energy resources to manufacturing processes and waste handling—while working with our value chain partners to build a tailored circular management framework. Our goal is to enhance resource efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the product design and manufacturing stages to foster sustainable development."

To act upon circular economy principles, Delta launched its "Delta Group Product Carbon Footprint Strategies" in 2022, establishing 4 core strategies: Implementation of circular design, circular procurement and manufacturing, provision of circular services, and creation of residual product value. Beyond lifecycle assessment, Delta integrates circular criteria directly into product design—using recycled or recyclable materials in fans, streetlights, and implementing packaging recycling programs. Moreover, Delta has set long-term targets: securing third-party certified recycled/recovered materials from 30 key suppliers by 2030; achieving a 100% waste diversion rate across all production sites by 2025; and reaching 100% global waste diversion by 2050.

Delta has also made progress in the UL 2799 Zero Waste to Landfill validation, earning the certification at 18 production sites, including 6 Platinum-level sites—the highest tier as of the end of 2024. Also in 2024, the Company's global operations generated 232,485 metric tons of waste across its value chain, of which 231,509 metric tons were successfully diverted—achieving a 99.6% diversion rate. Waste recovery and resale generated USD 27.14 million in revenue. Additionally, Delta supports circular initiatives through its internal carbon price mechanism and will develop established Green Product Standards to continuously strengthen its circular economy performance, accelerating progress toward its 2050 net-zero goal.

Newly established in 2024, the ISO 59004 certification addresses the rising global demand for circular economy frameworks, requiring organizations to establish a comprehensive system that systematically enables resource recyclability, value retention, and value enhancement. The certification audit evaluates enterprises across three dimensions—social, economic, and environmental—to assess whether their circular economy architecture embodies 6 core principles: systems thinking, ecosystem resilience, resource traceability, value creation, value sharing, and resource stewardship.

Delta was also recently honored, at the 2025 SGS Business Assurance Annual Conference, with the "Sustainable Governance Award" for the third consecutive year and with the "Annual Innovation Award". These accolades recognize Delta's integrated approach to resource circularity, closely aligned with global sustainability goals including energy and water conservation, waste reduction, carbon management, and biodiversity—achieved through collaborative partnerships across its supply chain.

Stock Market Today: S&P 500, Nasdaq Futures Slip Amid Mixed Trade—McDonald's, AMD, Qualcomm, Robinhood In Focus stocknewsapi
AMD HOOD IVV QCOM SPLG SPXL SPY SSO UPRO VOO
U.S. stock futures were fluctuating on Wednesday after Tuesday’s lower close. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed.

Investors interpreted the latest batch of corporate earnings as solid but not spectacular, offering a convenient excuse to take profits after strong year-to-date rallies.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR), one of the poster children of this year's AI-fueled rally, slumped around 8% despite easily beating Wall Street estimates and raising its full-year guidance.

President Donald Trump‘s legal authority to impose his most sweeping duties faces a key test at the Supreme Court today. Justices will hear arguments in a case whose decision could have significant reverberations for the global economy.

The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.08% and the two-year bond was at 3.58%. The CME Group's FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 70.1% likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting the current interest rates during its December meeting.

FuturesChange (+/-)Dow Jones0.06%S&P 500-0.10%Nasdaq 100-0.22%Russell 20000.11%The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell in premarket on Wednesday.

Cues From Last SessionSectors posting the biggest losses on Tuesday included communication services, consumer discretionary, and information technology, leading most S&P 500 sectors to close on a negative note.

IndexPerformance (+/-)ValueNasdaq Composite-2.04%23,348.64S&P 500-1.17%6,771.55Dow Jones-0.53%47,085.24Russell 2000-1.78%2,427.34Insights From AnalystsBlackRock maintains a positive, overweight outlook on U.S. stocks, identifying the artificial intelligence theme as a powerful market driver. The firm's “Weekly commentary” highlights that recent “solid tech earnings” show “how the AI buildout remains a key equity driver.”

This is evidenced by mega-cap tech firms like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:META), and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) significantly upping their capex spending on AI infrastructure, a trend BlackRock expects to continue.

This optimistic equity stance is “supported by Federal Reserve rate cuts.” While the Fed signaled a pause, BlackRock’s view is, “we think it will likely cut again,” likely in December. The rationale is that a “softening labor market gives the Fed space to cut.”

Economically, BlackRock anticipates “a notable slowing of activity without recession,” a scenario that it believes should support U.S. stocks. While acknowledging that “policy-driven volatility and supply-side constraints are pressuring growth,” the firm ultimately believes the powerful AI mega-force will continue to support corporate earnings.

BlackRock’s tactical view concludes that U.S. valuations are backed by “stronger earnings and profitability relative to other developed markets.”

Provenance Discovers New Mineralized Zone at Herman Assaying 5.94 g/t Gold Over 19.81m within 1.56 g/t Gold Over 254.51m From Surface: Extending Mineralization to the South stocknewsapi
PVGDF
November 05, 2025 5:00 AM EST | Source: Provenance Gold Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 5, 2025) - Provenance Gold Corp. (CSE: PAU) (OTCQB: PVGDF) ("Provenance" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from the third hole of the Company's first step-out drilling in the Herman Area at its Eldorado Gold Project in eastern Oregon.

Highlights

ED29:

1.56 g/t Au over 254.51 m from surface and ending in mineralization, including 2.84 g/t Au over 42.67m including 9.8 g/t Au over 6.10mNew Mineralized Zone: 5.94 g/t Au over 19.81m including 20.33 g/t Au over 4.57mHole ED29 was drilled southwestward from the Herman area into a previously undrilled region, approximately 50m to the south of ED27 (see press release dated October 8, 2025). ED29, hosted in both diorite and mixed metasediments, exhibited strong gold mineralization throughout its entire length and ended in strong mineralization at a depth of 254.51m (Table 1). ED29 continues to expand a new feeder zone found 800 meters to the south of Zone 1 (Figure 1-2), additionally discovering a new high-grade zone at its southernmost extent which is believed to be part of a new feeder system.

Current Exploration

Drilling is ongoing with assays from 7 RC holes pending from Zones 3-4 in the Tyee Area and the Herman Area. At Herman, the drilling tests the newly discovered mineralized contact zone between the diorite intrusive complex and the host metasedimentary rocks. In addition, 3 diamond core holes are pending in the Herman Area with a focus on extending mineralization towards the south and southwest. These core holes will provide key information about the geological controls and structural details of the mineralization. All mineralized zones at Eldorado West remain open in all directions.

Provenance Chairman, Rauno Perttu, stated, "Hole ED29 is a pivotal hole in this step-out program. We've already demonstrated that gold is prolific at Eldorado West over a large area. We are confident much more mineralization exists within both the previously explored area and within this large new unexplored region. I'm excited because I think the gold system appears to be strengthening into this broad unexplored area with no outcrops or prior exploration. Historic gold mining of locally derived placer gold along its borders to the south and west, and our geophysics and geochemistry support our belief that the gold system continues and potentially strengthens into this unexplored area. We have just scratched the surface of this amazing property, and we haven't even begun tackling Eldorado East yet."

Continuing Exploration

The current geological model suggests that mineralization extends much further to the south and southwest of the Herman Area which was overlooked in historical exploration due to the minimal surface bedrock exposures and historic lack of understanding of the overall project geology. Drilling with both the RC and diamond core rigs continues to test these areas and aims to expand and infill the known footprint of the gold system at Eldorado West. In addition, permitting is ongoing for new drill sites at both the Eldorado West and Eldorado East to allow for much further expanded drilling of the system in 2026.

*All reported intervals in this news release are downhole core lengths. True widths of mineralized intervals are not known at this time. Geological modelling is ongoing, and additional drilling will be required to establish the geometry and orientation of the mineralized zones in order to determine true thicknesses.

Sampling, Laboratory, and QA/QC

The Company has implemented a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure sampling and analysis of all exploration work is conducted in accordance with industry best practices.

The RC drill chips were sampled at 1.5-meter intervals onsite. A rotation of certified standards, blanks, and field duplicates were inserted into the sample stream approximately every 30m. The Company QA/QC, as well as the laboratory inserted standards, blanks, and duplicates were monitored closely upon receiving assay certificates from the laboratory. No discrepancies were reported in the reference samples inserted. The Company will continue to monitor QA/QC procedures closely.

Provenance submitted samples for gold determination by PhotonAssay™ to fully accredited Paragon Geochemical, an arms-length laboratory located in Reno, NV (ISO 17025:2017). PhotonAssay™ is a fast, accurate, non-destructive process to determine gold, silver and copper in geological and process samples. The technique uses gamma ray activation to induce nuclear transitions in the elements of interest, which leads to photon emissions with highly characteristic energies. After analysis, the entire assay charge is returned intact and can be submitted for subsequent analyses such as geochemistry, cyanidation, metallurgical testing, environmental testing, or retained for future verification.

RC Samples were split onsite and shipped to Paragon in Reno. Samples submitted to Paragon beginning in June and July 2025 were processed whereby the entire sample is coarsely crushed to approximately 70% passing 2 mm mesh and subsequently riffle split leaving a ~500g charge. The large assay charge of approximately 500g is introduced to the instrument, improving representativeness of the sample, particularly for those samples which may exhibit coarse gold.

Toyota, Honda turn India into car production hub in pivot away from China stocknewsapi
HMC TM
SummaryCompaniesJapanese automakers invest billions in India to reduce China dependenceIndia's low costs and incentives attract Japanese carmakersToyota, Honda, Suzuki expand production and exports in IndiaTOKYO, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Toyota, Honda and Suzuki are spending billions of dollars to build new cars and factories in India, a sign of the country's growing importance as a manufacturing hub as Japanese automakers redraw global supply chains to reduce dependence on China.

Toyota, opens new tab(7203.T), opens new tab, the world's largest carmaker, and

Suzuki, opens new tab(7269.T), opens new tab, the leader in the Indian market with almost a 40% share, have separately announced investments totalling $11 billion to beef up manufacturing and export capabilities in the world's third-largest auto market.

Sign up here.

Honda

(7267.T), opens new tab said last week it will make India a production and export base for one of its planned electric cars.

India's low costs and vast labour pool have long been an attraction for manufacturers.

Now, Japanese automakers are stepping up operations as they pivot away from China, both as a market and a manufacturing base, multiple industry executives said. Another benefit: India remains all but closed to Chinese EVs, so Japan's carmakers - at least for now - won't face bruising competition from BYD

(002594.SZ), opens new tab and others there.

A brutal price war among Chinese EV makers has made it difficult to turn a profit in China. Adding to the pain, Chinese carmakers are now expanding overseas and snatching market share from Japanese rivals in Southeast Asia.

"India is a good choice as a replacement market for China," said Julie Boote, autos analyst at Pelham Smithers Associates in London, citing low profit margins in China.

"For the time being, the Japanese think it's a much better market because they don't have to deal with the Chinese competitors," she said.

Other draws include the improved quality of India's manufactured goods, and incentives from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, executives say.

Toyota and Suzuki each have majority ownership of their India units. Honda owns 100% of its business there.

TOYOTA GOES LOCAL IN INDIAJapan's annual direct investment in the Indian transport sector, which includes automakers, jumped more than sevenfold between 2021 and 2024, hitting 294 billion yen ($2 billion) last year.

As Japanese automakers revved up investment in India, they cooled on China: direct investment in China's transport sector saw an 83% decrease over the same period, to 46 billion yen last year.

Toyota is working with Japanese and Indian vendors to lower costs and expand production of hybrid components. India is one market where it saw tight supply of hybrid parts amid a surge in demand this year.

It has localised its offerings, said an executive at a major Toyota supplier. "It is no longer about global specifications but about local ones."

The Japanese automaker plans to launch 15 new and refreshed models in India by the end of the decade and deepen its rural network, Reuters reported last week. It aims to have 10% of the passenger car market before the end of the decade, from 8% now.

"The Indian market is extremely important and is set to grow in the future," Toyota President Koji Sato told reporters at last week's Japan Mobility Show, noting many other automakers were also paying attention to the market.

Last year Toyota announced more than $3 billion in investment to expand production at its existing factory in southern India by some 100,000 vehicles a year and build a new plant in western Maharashtra state that is expected to begin production before 2030.

That is expected to take Toyota's Indian production capacity to more than 1 million vehicles.

At its quarterly earnings on Wednesday, the automaker cited the growing importance of India to profits, especially as the North American business has been impacted by tariffs.

HELP FROM MODI GOVERNMENTIndia's economic growth has averaged 8% over the past three fiscal years, a surge that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government wants to sustain by luring more foreign manufacturers. It is rolling out incentives to get them to produce goods for both domestic and global markets.

India manufactured about 5 million passenger cars last financial year, of which almost 800,000 were exported and the remainder sold in the domestic market.

Domestic sales grew about 2% from a year ago, while exports rose 15%.

Government limits on Chinese investment are effectively another form of help, making it difficult for new Chinese carmakers to enter and existing ones like SAIC's

(600104.SS), opens new tab MG Motor and BYD

(002594.SZ), opens new tab to expand.

"India's protectionist stance toward neighbouring countries is a blessing in disguise for Japanese carmakers," said S&P Global Mobility's Gaurav Vangaal. "Because of this, they see an opportunity to expand investment in India, enhancing their cost competitiveness against domestic players."

Local companies Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra have been expanding their offerings with SUVs, taking market share from Suzuki. Before the pandemic Suzuki had about 50% of the passenger car market.

And India is never an easy market. Foreign automakers such as Ford

(F.N), opens new tab and General Motors

(GM.N), opens new tab previously struggled there and eventually exited.

HONDA WANTS TO GO FOUR WHEELS IN INDIAFor Honda, India is the biggest market for its highly profitable two-wheel business, and it now intends to ramp up its four-wheel business, Chief Executive Toshihiro Mibe told the mobility show.

Honda said its top three focus markets for the car business are the United States, followed by India and Japan.

It plans to make India the production and export base for one of its "Zero series" electric cars, with one model to be exported to Japan and other Asian markets from 2027.

Suzuki's $8 billion investment in India is to mainly expand its local production capacity to 4 million cars a year, from some 2.5 million now. Its Indian business, Maruti Suzuki

(MRTI.NS), opens new tab , is the country's top-selling carmaker and largest car exporter.

"We would like to grow India as Suzuki's global production hub," President Toshihiro Suzuki told reporters on the sidelines of the mobility show. "We would like to enhance exports from India."

Good morning, everyone, both in the room and online. Thank you very much for joining us this morning in connection with the release and the presentation of Mowi's third quarter results of 2025.

My name is Ivan Vindheim, and I'm the CEO of Mowi. And together with our CFO Kristian Ellingsen, I will take you through the numbers and the fundamentals this morning and to the best of my and our ability, add a few appropriate comments to them. And after presentation, our analyst, Ole Petter Urheim, will host Q&A session. Those of you who are following the presentation online, can submit your questions or comments in advance or as we go along by e-mail. Please refer to websites at mowi.com for necessary details.

Disclaimer is both long and extensive. So I think we leave it for a self-study. So with that out of the way, I think we are ready for the highlights of the quarter.

And to begin with, and on a general note, I think it's fair to say that the third quarter was like previous quarters this year, characterized by soft prices following well-supplied markets. And in the third quarter, with prices even below industry cost.

For our part, this translated into EUR 1.39 billion in operating revenues and an operational profit of EUR 112 million on record high harvest volumes of 166,000 tonnes. The latter slightly above our guidance.

Otherwise, the third quarter

Disney's villain era: The YouTube TV dispute highlights the challenge to maintain a good-guy image stocknewsapi

Disney and ESPN have drawn frustration from sports fans as its carriage dispute with YouTube TV drags on.

2025-11-05T10:17:02Z

Disney has taken heat this year, most recently drawing the ire of sports fans.
Culture wars, price hikes, and now a sports blackout have drawn backlash.
Disney faces the challenge of maintaining its good-guy image and broad appeal.

The pitchforks are out for one of the world's most beloved companies.

Sports fans are growing frustrated with Disney after its dispute with YouTube TV has left roughly 10 million subscribers without channels like ESPN and ABC since Thursday. That includes a "Monday Night Football" matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals.

It's one of several high-profile dustups involving Disney in recent months. The Mouse House walks a fine line in a sharp-elbowed TV market and a politically polarized US, trying to please shareholders with its streaming business' progress while avoiding cultural land mines.

Fans online called this latest move "tone deaf" and "greedy as fudge," but beyond social media chatter, these missteps can threaten Disney's bottom line. A high-profile boycott around Jimmy Kimmel's temporary suspension coincided with millions of streaming cancellations. News that the company was raising prices again didn't help.

After Disney-owned ESPN went dark on YouTube TV, some sports fans started to push back.

Top ESPN personalities pointed followers to a Disney site with details about the YouTube TV blackout, trying to stir up outrage against the Google-owned TV service. Instead, the messages fell on deaf ears — and arguably backfired.

"It's pretty tone-deaf to tell paying customers to 'go fix' something that's entirely between two billion-dollar corporations," said one of the top replies to an X post from ESPN's Scott Van Pelt about the YouTube TV blackout. "Viewers have zero responsibility here."

A Disney spokesperson didn't respond to a request for comment for this story.

A minefield of price hikesDisney may be becoming a victim of its own success.

The Mouse House has raised prices in response to robust demand for its services and experiences. Case in point: Disney World prices are going up after a record quarter, though some Disney supporters don't even mind if higher prices help combat crowds and long lines.

Similarly, Disney's ESPN is pushing for higher prices because it has an unrivaled portfolio of sports rights that millions of fans want to see, and a popular new app on which to watch them.

Still, some sports fans are heated and took to social media to lament that they already pay too much to watch sports. They seem sympathetic to YouTube TV's argument that Disney and ESPN are pushing for rate increases that will drive up prices again for the live TV service. YouTube TV hiked prices last December to $83 a month from $73.

"Tell your Disney bosses we don't want to pay for Disney Channel and Freeform just so we can watch football. The YouTube TV bill is too expensive already," said an X user with the profile name Ryan Herbert in response to a post from ESPN megastar Stephen A. Smith.

Even future NFL Hall of Famer JJ Watt, who made well over $100 million on the field, said on X that he's "not buying another streaming subscription" on Monday in reference to the blackout.

It's not all Disney or ESPN's fault.

Sports rights have soared in value as bidding wars have broken out between media incumbents, such as Disney, NBCUniversal, and Warner Bros. Discovery, and tech giants like Amazon and Google. That's led to higher streaming prices. Instead of blaming leagues, franchise owners, or TV distributors for these prices, fans often point the finger at networks like ESPN.

"This is ESPN being greedy as fudge and having to pay for that bananas contract you signed with the SEC," an X user said in a response to ESPN host Mike Greenberg about the blackout, referencing ESPN's 10-year deal with the Southeastern Conference, which The New York Times reported was worth roughly $3 billion.

Disney and ESPN may try to raise prices because they can, just like any other company would.

But Disney isn't just any run-of-the-mill company, said Chris Rosica, who runs public relations firm Rosica Communications. Disney is a historic, family-friendly brand that's stood for more than maximizing profits and shareholder value, Rosica said. He's curious to see if that continues.

"There may be skepticism, or cynicism, from consumers," Rosica said in an interview, that Disney "is just a company that is out to make profits."

How Disney's perception 'could be an issue'As Disney raises prices to justify its investments, it risks fueling a narrative that its services and parks are unaffordable and are mainly for superfans and the rich, instead of the middle class.

"The perception that Disney is too expensive — that could be an issue," media industry analyst Alan Wolk, who cofounded research firm TVREV, told Business Insider.

A Disney Parks spokesperson previously told Business Insider that Disney parks have "options designed to suit a wide range of needs and budgets for all who visit."

As CEO Bob Iger's second run as Disney's CEO winds down, his legacy is certainly top of mind. His biggest challenge might not be bolstering its streaming business or picking a successor, but ensuring that its 102-year-old brand can survive for another century.

Iger has said he wants the company to be less focused on advancing an "agenda," though some Disney superfans don't see the company as woke, or even as overtly political. The Mouse House rethought its DEI policy earlier this year, which led to an employee event series called "Global Belonging Week" that steered clear of some DEI terminology.

Wolk said that Disney has "made a bunch of tone-deaf decisions in a tough media environment." But the analyst also said Disney's decades of brand equity means the company has "managed to hold the line" with most audiences.

"Disney is still this safe haven from all that stuff," Wolk said of political issues.

Chinese EV maker Xpeng to launch robotaxis, humanoid robots with self-developed AI chips stocknewsapi
XPEV
Guangzhou, CHINA — Chinese electric car company Xpeng plans to launch robotaxis next year after previously claiming it wouldn't be a real business in the near future and took the wraps off of its latest humanoid robot model.

Xpeng's technology push mirrors one of its key rivals Tesla, as the Guangzhou, China-headquartered company looks to position itself as more than just an electric car firm.

The automaker announced on Wednesday as part of its "AI Day" that it is launching three robotaxi models. The vehicles will use four of Xpeng's self-developed "Turing" AI chips. Xpeng claims the chips represent the combined highest in-car computing power in the world, at 3,000 TOPS, an industry measure.

The semiconductors power Xpeng's "vision-language-action (VLA)" model, now in its second iteration. This type of AI models take into account inputs like visual cues that can help with applications like driverless cars or robotics.

Alibaba announced Wednesday that it is partnering with Xpeng on robotaxis through the e-commerce company's digital mapping subsidiary AutoNavi and Amaps app, which also includes a ride-hailing portal.

The Xpeng robotaxi includes an external display of speed and other information on the vehicle's sun visors.

Xpeng said it plans to start testing robotaxis in Guangzhou and other Chinese cities next year.

Co-president Brian Gu told CNBC last week that robotaxis will "ultimately be a global phenomenon" but that it would take time to get there, especially given regulation. Back in April 2024, he cautioned that self-driving taxis wouldn't become a significant business for at least five years.

During a group interview with reporters on Wednesday, Gu addressed his change in tone from last year toward robotaxis.

"The tech is happening faster than we anticipated," Gu said.

He noted that the AI developments and the significant increase in computing power "give us the confidence we are near the inflection point" for robotaxis.

Xpeng's strategy for robotaxis is to make two categories of cars: one for commercial self-driving shared vehicles, and another for fully autonomous personal cars that may be only shared among family members.

Xpeng's robotaxi announcements come as Chinese players such as Pony.ai, WeRide and Baidu have ramped up global expansion plans after rolling out self-driving taxis to the public in parts of China. Tesla this year launched its long-awaited robotaxi program in parts of Texas.

Humanoid robotSimilar to Tesla's push into humanoid robots, Xpeng on Wednesday announced its own version, the second-generation Iron robot. The Chinese company plans to begin mass production of the robots next year.

During a presentation on Wednesday, CEO He Xiaopeng downplayed the likelihood that the humanoids will soon be usable in households, and said it was too costly to use them in factories given the low price of labor in China. Instead, he said the robots will first be used as tour guides, sales assistants and office building guides, beginning in Xpeng facilities.

He said that he doesn't know how many robots Xpeng will sell in the next 10 years, but it will be more than the number of cars.

The humanoid robot uses three of Xpeng's Turing AI chips and a solid-state battery, with plans for customization options for aspects of the product like body shape and hair style.

Xpeng Co-President Gu said on Wednesday that the company has been developing some technology before Tesla but has not been as vocal in promoting it.

"What we are pursuing from a tech and product perspective, there are some similarities with Tesla…There are some areas that we probably started earlier than Tesla," Gu said, referring to flying cars and humanoid robots.

Xpeng has developed a flying car product.

But Gu acknowledged that Tesla has done a better and more high-profile job at sharing its commercialization plans, which Xpeng has not done as much until today.

Michael Burry is back to posting on X, warning about market mania, and betting against AI giants.
The investor of "The Big Short" fame compared the AI spending boom to the dot-com bubble.
Burry's wagers against Nvidia and Palantir could pay off if they miss forecasts, one analyst said.

Michael Burry, the contrarian investor who called the 2008 financial crisis, is back with his unique blend of dire warnings, cryptic messages, winking memes, and pop-culture references.

The Scion Asset Management chief has returned to X after a two-year hiatus to sound the alarm on the AI boom. Where advocates see a revolutionary technology that will supercharge productivity and generate massive profits, he sees hype, speculation, and excess.

Burry, whose iconic bet against the mid-2000s housing bubble was immortalized in the book and movie "The Big Short," kicked off his comeback with a single, ominous post on Thursday.

"Sometimes, we see bubbles. Sometimes, there is something to do about it. Sometimes, the only winning move is not to play," he wrote.

The third sentence is a nod to the movie "WarGames," where an AI supercomputer runs thousands of simulations of nuclear war and discovers all of them end in mutual destruction. Burry's quote underscores how perilous he believes today's market is for investors.

Signaling he'll be sticking around for a while, the famed forecaster has updated his profile picture and revised his bio to read: "Cassandra Unchained: Missteps to Mayhem, Coming December 2025, Stay Tuned."

That line is an apparent reference to the Greek myth of Cassandra, the Trojan priestess cursed to utter true prophecies but never to be believed, and to a speech Burry gave at Vanderbilt Medical Center in 2011 titled: "Missteps to Mayhem: Inside the Doomsday Machine with the Outsider who Predicted and Profited from America's Financial Armageddon."

Back then, Burry delivered a step-by-step breakdown of how the subprime mortgage bubble inflated, how he predicted and placed bets on its collapse, and how the fallout revealed glaring vulnerabilities in the US financial system.

"We must remember that entire societies can and often do follow the wrong path for a very long time, and that there is nothing wrong with breaking from the social norm to ensure good outcomes," Burry said. "Sober analysis on the part of the individual is paramount."

Burry sees himself as a Jedi battling the EmpirePositioning himself as a rebel who's speaking out against the AI mainstream, Burry swapped his banner image on X to a still from "Star Wars: A New Hope," where Obi-Wan Kenobi uses a Jedi mind trick to deceive Imperial stormtroopers.

Referring to that meme, the Scion boss posted on Monday before the release of his firm's third-quarter portfolio update: "These aren't the charts you are looking for. You can go about your business." He attached three images offering fresh insight into why he's bearish on the AI frenzy.

The first chart showed that growth has slowed sharply in Amazon and Alphabet's cloud-computing divisions, and cooled slightly in Microsoft's rival unit.

The second highlighted that the US tech sector's capital expenditures have surged during the AI boom, echoing their spikes before the dot-com crash and the 2008 financial crisis.

The third shows the circular dealmaking between Nvidia, OpenAI, Oracle, Microsoft, and other AI companies.

Burry nodded to the meme again in a follow-up post, writing "Move along" and attaching an image of a stormtrooper. He also shared a highlighted excerpt from "Capital Account," a book that covers the dot-com bubble. It detailed how the telecoms boom and bust resulted in vast tracts of unused infrastructure, plunging prices, and the downfall of many high-valued companies that wound up scrambling for protection from creditors.

Burry's posts underline his skepticism about the AI boom. He appears to see shades of the dot-com bubble in the interwoven deals between tech titans, as they pour hundreds of billions of dollars into building huge amounts of infrastructure that might end up sitting idle if demand falters and valuations come crashing down, as they did 25 years ago.

Burry placed bets against Nvidia and PalantirThe hedge fund manager backed up his words with two striking bets last quarter that were revealed on Monday. Scion purchased bearish put options on 1 million Nvidia shares and 5 million Palantir shares, with notional values of $187 million and $912 million, respectively.

The wagers dominated the firm's US stock portfolio, which had only eight holdings in total, including just four direct positions worth a combined $68 million.

Russ Mould, AJ Bell's investment director, told Business Insider that Burry is "clearly backing convictions with what can only be called a highly unconventional portfolio, with sizable short positions against both Nvidia and Palantir, both darlings of the current AI boom, to the tune of around $1 billion."

Nvidia and Palantir fell 4% and 8% respectively on Tuesday. Burry's wagers drew the ire of Palantir CEO Alex Karp, who questioned why he was shorting companies that are "making all the money."

Both stocks have soared in price over the past few years; Nvidia became the first company to secure a $5 trillion market value last week, while Palantir was valued at nearly $500 billion at Monday's close — more than Mastercard, Exxon Mobil, or Netflix are worth.

The pair's valuations and high growth expectations could leave their stocks vulnerable to sharp declines if they disappoint, especially when investors are increasingly using margin and levered ETFs, Mould said.

Burry could win big if Nvidia and Palantir stumble, but the "danger" is that he "gets run over by momentum and liquidity-fueled markets" if they keep impressing investors and the Federal Reserve keeps cutting interest rates, Mould added.

Daniel Bustamante, the chief investor and founder of asset manager Bustamante Capital Management, told Business Insider that he broadly agrees with Burry's stance on AI stocks.

The Magnificent Seven's capital spending is "already hurting earnings growth, retail is crowded into those names, and then margin debt is at all-time highs," he said. "You basically have all tinder soaked in gas, and all it takes is a lit match at this point to cause some serious issues."
