Market Signal Briefing

Oil prices were mixed in Asia's morning session, but may be supported by lingering Middle East tensions that could lead to supply disruptions.

MONTREAL, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Osisko Development Corp. (NYSE: ODV, TSXV: ODV) (collectively with its subsidiaries, "Osisko Development" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced sale of its 100% interest in the San Antonio Gold Project ("San Antonio" or the "Project") located in Sonora State, Mexico, to Axo Copper Corp. ("Axo") through the sale of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Sapuchi Minera S. de R.L. de C.V. ("Sapuchi Mexico") (the "Transaction").

At closing, Osisko Development received 15,325,841 common shares of Axo ("Axo Shares"), representing 9.99% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Axo on a non‑diluted basis.

Osisko Development is entitled to certain contingent deferred payments in connection with the sale, including:

A cash payment equal to 70% of any Mexican value‑added tax refund due or owing to Sapuchi Mexico in respect of any period ending on or before the closing date of the Transaction;Upon the public filing by Axo of a feasibility study respecting the Project that is prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, US$2,000,000, payable in cash or up to 9,398,496 Axo Shares, at Axo's option, provided that if the issue price of such Axo Shares is below the November 21, 2025 closing price of the Axo Shares (the "Floor Price"), the Company will receive 9,398,496 Axo Shares plus a cash payment equal to the shortfall between US$2,000,000 and the US dollar-equivalent value of the Axo Shares received; andA cash payment of US$2,000,000, upon the first gold pour being completed at the Project.
In addition, upon Axo closing one or more equity financings that raise aggregate gross proceeds of at least US$10,000,000 (a "Qualifying Financing"), if the issue price is greater than the Floor Price, Axo would be required to issue to Osisko Development such number of Axo Shares that would result in Osisko Development retaining a 9.99% interest in Axo, on a non-diluted basis, on the initial US$10,000,000 raised. If the issue price is less than the Floor Price in connection with such issuance, Osisko Development will receive a maximum of 5,521,699 Axo Shares plus a cash payment equal to the issue price multiplied by the number of additional Axo Shares Osisko Development would have received if the additional shares were issued at the issue price instead of the Floor Price.

Stock Yards Bancorp (SYBT - Free Report) reported $104.47 million in revenue for the quarter ended December 2025, representing a year-over-year increase of 11.7%. EPS of $1.24 for the same period compares to $1.07 a year ago.

The reported revenue represents a surprise of +2.09% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $102.33 million. With the consensus EPS estimate being $1.20, the EPS surprise was +3.05%.

While investors scrutinize revenue and earnings changes year-over-year and how they compare with Wall Street expectations to determine their next move, some key metrics always offer a more accurate picture of a company's financial health.

As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.

Here is how Stock Yards performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:

Net Interest Margin [%]: 3.6% compared to the 3.6% average estimate based on three analysts.Efficiency Ratio [%]: 52.5% versus 52.9% estimated by three analysts on average.Net charge offs to average loans: -0% versus the two-analyst average estimate of 0.1%.Average Interest- Earning assets [$M]: $8.81 billion compared to the $8.7 billion average estimate based on two analysts.Total non-interest income: $25.13 million versus the three-analyst average estimate of $24.72 million.Net Interest Income (FTE): $79.34 million versus $78.09 million estimated by two analysts on average.Net Interest Income: $79.25 million versus the two-analyst average estimate of $77.9 million.View all Key Company Metrics for Stock Yards here>>>

Shares of Stock Yards have returned +2.1% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +0.4% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), indicating that it could perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

For the quarter ended December 2025, Renasant (RNST - Free Report) reported revenue of $278.52 million, up 66.7% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $0.91, compared to $0.73 in the year-ago quarter.

The reported revenue compares to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $269 million, representing a surprise of +3.54%. The company delivered an EPS surprise of +13.75%, with the consensus EPS estimate being $0.80.

While investors scrutinize revenue and earnings changes year-over-year and how they compare with Wall Street expectations to determine their next move, some key metrics always offer a more accurate picture of a company's financial health.

Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.

Tesla continues to make technology revolutionary.

The stuff of science fiction is quickly becoming reality. Iconic electric vehicle maker Tesla (TSLA 0.99%) is now making AI-controlled humanoid robots that will be available for purchase by the public before the end of 2027. That's what Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at this year's World Economic Forum, anyway. Just bear in mind the larger-than-life founder has significantly understated developmental timelines before.

On the other hand, he's also got a penchant for eventually delivering. So, what's this new robot -- called Optimus -- all about?

The time is (more or less) right for this tech With two arms, two legs, and one head all attached to a torso, Optimus is clearly intended to do everything a human can do in the space that a human can occupy. Musk isn't envisioning them to serve as full-blown replacements, though, or provide replacement bodies (at least not yet). Rather, his vision is to instruct these robots to autonomously handle tasks that are boring, dangerous, or both to humans. Anticipated retail price? Between $20,000 and $30,000. We'll see.

Image source: Tesla Inc.

Still, it's not an outrageous expectation. Carmaker Hyundai recently confirmed plans to deploy humanoid robots at its factory in Georgia by 2028, following November's news from Agility Robotics that its humanoid package-handling automatons (called Digit) have now collectively moved 100,000 totes. Indeed, Amazon reported last year that it has already deployed over 1 million self-driving package-moving robotic carts within its warehouses. Tweaking these technological tools into something suitable for the home, office, or in situations where a limited judgment call needs to be made isn't exactly a big leap from here.

But is there enough money to be made by Tesla in this market to merit an investment that wasn't merited before?

It certainly doesn't hurt the near-term bullish argument As is so often the case, this technology will likely be ready for the mainstream before most consumers and corporations are ready for it. That was certainly the case for solar power, AT&T's videophone back in the 1960s, and arguably, even Tesla's electric vehicles. There's little doubt it will take some time for the world to become comfortable with a relatively expensive assistant that is human-like, but clearly not human.

Time and proof should slowly but surely convince them, though, so much so that analysts with Morgan Stanley predict the global humanoid robot industry will be worth $5 trillion by 2050. The firm adds that there could be more than 1 billion of these autonomous machines in use by that point.

Musk is even more optimistic about their utilization, though. He's said more than once that there may come a time when there's at least one artificial intelligence-controlled humanoid robot for every person on the planet, creating what he's also referred to as "infinite money glitch" for Tesla.

That degree of fiscal success is obviously still years down the road, if it ever materializes as suggested at all. The hope is enough to fan the bullish flames in 2026, however, particularly if investors see regular developmental progress with Optimus along the way.

TOKYO, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Oil prices were mixed on Wednesday, with Brent down slightly but the U.S. contract edging higher as supply concerns grew after a winter storm disrupted crude output and halted Gulf Coast exports over the weekend.

Brent crude futures fell 6 cents, or 0.1%, to $67.51 a barrel by 0122 GMT, but U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude climbed 4 cents, or 0.1%, to $62.43 a barrel.

Both benchmarks surged about 3% on Tuesday.

U.S. producers lost up to 2 million barrels per day or roughly 15% of national output over the weekend, analysts and traders estimated, as the storm strained energy infrastructure and power grids.

Crude and liquefied natural gas exports from U.S. Gulf Coast ports tumbled to zero on Sunday, ship tracking service Vortexa said.

"The impact of the U.S. cold snap and concerns over supply disruptions in Kazakhstan are supporting prices, but once supply fears ease, selling pressure is likely to return," said Toshitaka Tazawa, an analyst at Fujitomi Securities.

He added the balance between a projected supply surplus this year and geopolitical risks, including Middle East tensions, could keep WTI trading around $60 a barrel for now.

Kazakhstan's biggest oilfield, Tengiz, is likely to restore less than half of its normal production by February 7 as it slowly recovers from a fire and power outage, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Pipeline operator CPC said it has returned to full loading capacity at its Black Sea terminal after completing maintenance at one of its three mooring points.

SUPPLY FEARS REMAIN AMID MIDEAST TENSIONSA U.S. aircraft carrier and supporting warships have arrived in the Middle East, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Monday, expanding President Donald Trump's capabilities to defend U.S. forces, or potentially take military action against Iran.

On the supply side, OPEC+, or the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries plus Russia and other allies, is set to keep its pause on oil output increases for March at a meeting on February 1, three OPEC+ delegates told Reuters.

U.S. crude oil and gasoline stockpiles were expected to have risen in the week ended January 23, while distillate inventories likely fell, an extended Reuters poll showed on Tuesday.

But U.S. crude and gasoline stocks fell while distillate inventories rose last week, market sources said, citing American Petroleum Institute figures on Tuesday.

Preliminary full-year result includes the sell-down to Williams

Woodside Acting CEO Liz Westcott said the company delivered strongly against its 2025 business objectives, outperforming production guidance while advancing key growth projects.

“We achieved record annual production of 198.8 million barrels of oil equivalent in 2025. This performance was driven by sustained plateau production at Sangomar through late October and Pluto LNG operating at 100% reliability for the second half of the year.

“In recent days we marked a special milestone for the Scarborough Energy Project with the safe arrival of the floating production unit at the field and commencement of hook-up activities. The project was 94% complete at the end of the year and remains on budget and on target for first LNG cargo in Q4 2026.

“In late December first production was achieved at Beaumont New Ammonia. Final project commissioning will continue through early 2026 ahead of project completion and Woodside assuming operational control. Production will commence with conventional ammonia with lower-carbon ammonia planned for 2H 2026.

“Woodside has finalised agreements with leading global customers to supply conventional ammonia from Beaumont. These deliveries will commence in 2026 and continue through year-end, under contracts that reflect prevailing market prices.

“We also continued to progress our major development pipeline, with the three‑train foundation phase of the Louisiana LNG Project reaching 22% completion at quarter‑end, targeting first LNG in 2029.

“During the period Woodside entered a strategic partnership with leading US gas infrastructure company Williams, selling a 10% interest in the Louisiana LNG HoldCo and an 80% operating interest in PipelineCo, further demonstrating the quality of the project. Under the transaction, Williams will contribute approximately $1.9 billion in capital expenditure and assume offtake obligations for 10% of Louisiana LNG’s produced volumes.

“The Trion Project in Mexico was 50% complete at the end of the year, with hull assembly and installation of all critical equipment on the topside’s modules now completed.

“Also during the quarter, we took a final investment decision to develop the North West Shelf Project’s Greater Western Flank Phase 4. The project extends production from the North West Shelf by around one year and delivers an internal rate of return of approximately 30%.5

“During the period we signed long term LNG sale and purchase agreements with SK Gas International and BOTAŞ, supplied from Woodside's global portfolio including LALNG, evidencing the value customers place on our product.

“Woodside strengthened its position in the Gulf of America as the successful bidder on eight exploration blocks.6

“We are looking forward to first LNG from Scarborough in the fourth quarter of this year. Our 2026 volume guidance of 172 - 186 MMboe reflects planned down time at Pluto as we prepare the facility to begin processing Scarborough gas and for first LNG cargo in Q4 2026.

“Woodside continues to execute our strategy as outlined at our recent Capital Markets Day. The executive team and I remain focused on safely delivering our operations and projects while maintaining rigorous cost management during the CEO transition period."

Executed a Cooperation Agreement with Timor-Leste’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources to carry out studies and activities to mature a proposed Timor-based LNG concept (TLNG). The proposed TLNG concept includes greenfield LNG and domestic gas facilities, and a helium extraction plant. The Cooperation Agreement activities will run in parallel to the ongoing Sunrise Joint Venture (SJV) activities and extends the work done in 2024 on the SJV concept study. Calypso

The Calypso Joint Venture continues to review development options having completed concept select engineering studies in Q3 2025. Exploration

In the US Gulf of America, Woodside was the successful bidder on eight blocks in Lease Sale BBG1, with the lease issuance pending final payment and regulatory approval. Drilling activities for the non-operated Bandit-1 well are continuing, with results subject to further assessment. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) opportunities

The Angel CCS Project Joint Venture and the Bonaparte Assessment Joint Venture continued to progress concept definition level engineering design studies, regulatory approvals and customer development activities. Signed a Storage Study Agreement with Petroleum Sarawak Berhad to assess the technical and commercial feasibility of safely storing carbon dioxide in Site 3A in Central Luconia, offshore Sarawak, Malaysia. Carbon credit portfolio

In Mexico, Woodside contracted to purchase up to two million carbon credits over a ten-year period commencing 2025 from a community-led tropical forest restoration and improved forest-management project. In Indonesia, Woodside is funding a community-based, phased mangrove restoration initiative project. Woodside is expected to receive up to 4.6 million credits over a 40 year period from this arrangement commencing 2027. CEO succession

Woodside CEO and Managing Director, Meg O’Neill, advised the Board of her resignation during the period. The Board appointed Liz Westcott as Acting CEO, and intends to announce a permanent appointment in the first quarter of 2026. Climate and sustainability

United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) confirmed that Woodside’s Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP2.0) plan meets the requirements of a “gold pathway”.21 Held a sustainability focus session on 8 December 2025 with investors on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) World Heritage Listing of Murujuga and its significance for Woodside. Hedging22

During 2025, 30 MMboe of 2025 oil production was hedged at an average price of $78.7 per barrel. As at 31 December 2025, approximately 10 MMboe of 2026 oil production was hedged at an average price of $70.1 per barrel. The realised value of all hedged positions for the period ended 31 December 2025 is an estimated pre-tax profit of $221 million, with a $203 million profit related to oil price hedges offset by a $7 million loss related to Corpus Christi hedges, and a $25 million profit related to other hedge positions. Hedging profits will be included in ‘other income’ except hedging profits related to interest rate swaps which will be included in ‘finance income’ in the financial statements. Funding and liquidity22

As at 31 December 2025, Woodside had liquidity of approximately $9,300 million and net debt (including lease liabilities) of approximately $8,000 million. Embedded commodity derivative22

In 2023, Woodside entered into a revised long-term gas sale and purchase contract with Perdaman. A component of the selling price is linked to the price of urea, creating an embedded commodity derivative in the contract. The fair value of the embedded derivative is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. As there is no long-term urea forward curve, Title Transfer Facilities (TTF) continues to be used as a proxy to simulate the value of the derivative over the life of the contract. For the quarter ended 31 December 2025, an unrealised loss of approximately $10 million is expected to be recognised through other income. This brings the full year impact to an unrealised gain of approximately $137 million recognised in other income. 2025 Annual results and teleconference

A more detailed summary of the key risks relating to Woodside and its business can be found in the “Risk” section of Woodside’s most recent Annual Report released to the Australian Securities Exchange and in Woodside’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and available on the Woodside website at https://www.woodside.com/investors/reports-investor-briefings. You should review and have regard to these risks when considering the information contained in this report.

If any of the assumptions on which a forward-looking statement is based were to change or be found to be incorrect, this would likely cause outcomes to differ from the statements made in this report.

All forward-looking statements contained in this report reflect Woodside’s views held as at the date of this report and, except as required by applicable law, Woodside does not intend to, undertake to, or assume any obligation to, provide any additional information or update or revise any of these statements after the date of this report, either to make them conform to actual results or as a result of new information, future events, changes in Woodside’s expectations or otherwise.

Investors are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Actual results or performance may vary materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements. None of Woodside nor any of its related bodies corporate, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, advisers or representatives, nor any person named in this report or involved in the preparation of the information in this report, makes any representation, assurance, guarantee or warranty (either express or implied) as to the accuracy or likelihood of fulfilment of any forward-looking statement, or any outcomes, events or results expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement in this report. Past performance (including historical financial and operational information) is given for illustrative purposes only. It should not be relied on as, and is not necessarily, a reliable indicator of future performance, including future security prices.

Other important information

All figures are Woodside share for the quarter ending 31 December 2025, unless otherwise stated.

All references to dollars, cents or $ in this report are to US currency, unless otherwise stated.

References to “Woodside” may be references to Woodside Energy Group Ltd and/or its applicable subsidiaries (as the context requires).

Notes to petroleum reserves and resources

The petroleum reserve estimates are quoted as at the effective date of 31 December 2025, net Woodside share. US investors should refer to “Additional information for US investors concerning reserves and resources estimates” below. All numbers are internal estimates produced by Woodside. Estimates of reserves and contingent resources should be regarded only as estimates that may change over time as additional information becomes available. For offshore oil and gas projects, the reference point is defined as the outlet of the floating production storage and offloading facility (FPSO) or platform. For onshore gas projects the reference point is defined as the outlet of the downstream (onshore) gas processing facility. ‘Reserves’ are estimated quantities of petroleum that have been demonstrated to be producible from known accumulations in which the company has a material interest from a given date forward, at commercial rates, under presently anticipated production methods, operating conditions, prices, and costs. Woodside reports reserves inclusive of all fuel consumed in operations. Woodside estimates and reports its proved reserves in accordance with SEC regulations which are also compliant with the 2018 Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE)/World Petroleum Council (WPC)/American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG)/Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPEE) Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) (SPE-PRMS) guidelines. SEC-compliant proved reserves estimates use a more restrictive, rules-based approach and are generally lower than estimates prepared solely in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines due to, among other things, the requirement to use commodity prices based on the average of first of month prices during the 12-month period in the reporting company’s fiscal year. Woodside estimates and reports its proved plus probable reserves in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines which are not compliant with SEC regulations. Assessment of the economic value in support of an SPE-PRMS (2018) reserves and resources classification, uses Woodside Portfolio Economic Assumptions (Woodside PEAs). The Woodside PEAs are reviewed on an annual basis, or more often if required. The review is based on historical data and forecast estimates for economic variables such as product prices and exchange rates. The Woodside PEAs are approved by the Woodside Board. Specific contractual arrangements for individual projects are also taken into account. Woodside uses both deterministic and probabilistic methods for the estimation of reserves and contingent resources at the field and project levels. All proved reserves estimates have been estimated using deterministic methods and reported on a net interest basis in accordance with the SEC regulations and have been determined in accordance with SEC Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X. ‘MMboe’ means millions (106) of barrels of oil equivalent. Natural gas volumes are converted to oil equivalent volumes via a constant conversion factor, which for Woodside is 5.7 Bcf of dry gas per 1 MMboe. All volumes are reported at standard oilfield conditions of 14.696 psi (101.325 kPa) and 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.56 degrees Celsius). ‘Proved reserves’ are those quantities of crude oil, condensate, natural gas and NGLs that, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, operating contracts, and government regulations. Proved reserves are estimated and reported on a net interest basis in accordance with the SEC regulations and have been determined in accordance with SEC Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-X. ‘Undeveloped reserves’ are those reserves for which wells and facilities have not been installed or executed but are expected to be recovered through future significant investments. ‘Probable reserves’ are those reserves which analysis of geological and engineering data suggests are more likely than not to be recoverable. Proved plus probable reserves represent the best estimate of recoverable quantities. Where probabilistic methods are used, there is at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves. Proved plus probable reserves are estimated and reported in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines and are not compliant with SEC regulations. The estimates of petroleum reserves and contingent resources are based on and fairly represent information and supporting documentation prepared by, or under the supervision of, Mr Benjamin Ziker, Woodside’s Vice President Reserves and Subsurface, who is a full-time employee of the company and a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. The reserves and resources estimates included in this announcement are issued with the prior written consent of Mr Ziker. Mr Ziker’s qualifications include a Bachelor of Science (Chemical Engineering) from Rice University (Houston, Texas, USA) and 27 years of relevant experience. Additional information for US investors concerning resource estimates

Woodside is an Australian company with securities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. As noted above, Woodside estimates and reports its proved reserves in accordance with SEC regulations, which are also compliant with SPE-PRMS guidelines, and estimates and reports its proved plus probable reserves and 2C contingent resources in accordance with SPE-PRMS guidelines. Woodside reports all petroleum resource estimates using definitions consistent with SPE-PRMS.

The SEC prohibits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, from disclosing estimates of oil or gas resources other than ‘reserves’ (as that term is defined by the SEC). In this announcement, Woodside includes estimates of quantities of oil and gas using certain terms, such as ‘proved plus probable (2P) reserves’, ‘best estimate (2C) contingent resources’, ‘reserves and contingent resources’, ‘proved plus probable’, ‘developed and undeveloped’, ‘probable developed’, ‘probable undeveloped’, ‘contingent resources’ or other descriptions of volumes of reserves, which terms include quantities of oil and gas that may not meet the SEC’s definitions of proved, probable and possible reserves, and which the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit Woodside from including in filings with the SEC. These types of estimates do not represent, and are not intended to represent, any category of reserves based on SEC definitions, and may differ from and may not be comparable to the same or similarly-named measures used by other companies. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and would require substantial capital spending over a significant number of years to implement recovery, and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of not being recovered by Woodside. In addition, actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from Woodside’s properties may differ substantially. Woodside has made no commitment to drill, and likely will not drill, all drilling locations that have been attributable to these quantities. The Reserves Statement presenting Woodside’s proved oil and gas reserves in accordance with the regulations of the SEC is filed with the SEC as part of Woodside’s annual report on Form 20-F. US investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures in Woodside’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC and available on the Woodside website at https://www.woodside.com/investors/reports-investor-briefings and its other filings with the SEC, which are available at www.sec.gov.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Portnoy Law Firm advises Blue Owl Capital, Inc., (“Blue Owl” or the “Company”) (NYSE: OWL) investors of a class action on behalf of investors that bought securities between February 6, 2025 and November 16, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Blue Owl investors have until February 2, 2026 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

On October 30, 2025, Blue Owl reported financial results for the third quarter of 2025. Blue Owl reported, among other items, fee-related earnings of only $376.2 million, which missed consensus estimates; fee-related earnings margins of 57.1% which missed expectations by roughly 20 basis points; and a 33% year-over-year decline in performance revenue to only $188,000.

On November 16, 2025, The Financial Times published an article on the merger, reporting that “at current prices, the investors in [BODCII] could take a potential haircut on their investments” in connection with the merger and that “the trading price of OBDC . . . had been hit by souring sentiment on private credit markets[.]” On this news, Blue Owl’s stock price fell $0.85 per share, or 5.8%, to close at $13.77 per share on November 17, 2025. On November 19, 2025, Blue Owl announced the termination of the proposed merger, citing “current market conditions.”

XRP’s price action has been quiet in the past few days, with the majority of recent trading sessions spent trading just below and above $1.9. 

Interestingly, one analyst noted that the altcoin’s price action has already done most of the heavy lifting needed for a trend reversal after weeks of controlled downside and repeated reactions around descending resistance. The remaining question, according to the analysis, is whether price confirms what the structure is already suggesting.

Reset By Liquidations And Whale Activity Technical view of XRP’s price action shared by a crypto analyst known as CW on the social media platform X begins with a reset in market positioning. Most of the long positions that were accumulated during its earlier rally to $2.40 in the first week of January have been cleared, and this has removed excess leverage.

Interestingly, that liquidation phase has coincided with the XRP price tagging the lower boundary of a descending channel structure on the 4-hour candlestick timeframe chart. Over the past 24 hours, the token’s price bounced from the lower trendline in the mid-$1.80 region and has since rotated higher to now retesting the upper boundary of the converging structure, which is around $1.90.

Source: Chart from CW on X This move was accompanied by an increase in net buying, and according to the analyst, all that remains is a breakout of the upper line. From a structural standpoint, this outlook is important, as it reduces forced selling and allows spot demand to play a larger role in determining direction. 

A decisive break above the upper trendline would invalidate the current downtrend and begin an uptrend. In practical terms, this scenario will only come to pass if the altcoin is able to confirm that buyers have regained control by securing multiple candlestick closes above $1.90.

Breakout, Retest, And The Case For Continuation A separate technical perspective, illustrated in the chart below, frames XRP’s current structure within a much longer price history stretching back to 2024. This analysis also shows how XRP is well advanced in a broader bullish setup and has already completed the majority of the conditions needed for an upward rally continuation. 

XRP first achieved a major structural shift when it broke above the long-term resistance line drawn from its late 2024 peak, a move that ultimately carried the price to a new peak of $3.65 in 2025. Following that breakout, XRP transitioned into an extended accumulation phase that has now lasted for more than a year. The only thing missing now is the upside continuation. 

According to crypto analyst ChartNerd, the only missing element is a sustained upside follow-through. Based on that structure, XRP is estimated to be about 90% of the way through the work needed for a rally continuation.

The Zcash price is in a sideways trend and has fallen below the moving averages.

Zcash price long-term forecast: ranging For the past month, the altcoin has been trading in a range above the $300 support and below the moving average lines or the $600 resistance level.

Today, the upward movement has stalled below the 21-day SMA. ZEC will continue to decline if it turns down from the 21-day SMA and falls below $320, its current support level, potentially dropping to a low of $246. However, if the upward trend breaks above the 21-day SMA, the altcoin could return to its previous high of $556.

Technical Indicators Key Resistance Zones: $700, $750, and $800

Key Support Zones: $400, $350, and $300

Zcash price indicators analysis The 21- and 50-day SMAs are moving horizontally, indicating a lateral trend. The 21-day SMA has crossed below the 50-day SMA, signalling a decline. On the 4-hour chart, the price bars are above the upward-sloping moving average lines. The altcoin will appreciate if the price remains above the moving average lines.

What is the next move for Zcash? Zcash is in an upward reversal following its recent drop above the $320 support level. On the 4-hour chart, the rising trend broke above the moving average lines but was halted at $385. The cryptocurrency price is currently trading above the $320 support but below the $390 barrier. When range-bound levels are breached, the altcoin will trend.

This Tuesday, Bitcoin surged as the U.S. dollar tumbled to four-year lows following remarks by Donald Trump. Speaking with the media in Iowa, the president shrugged off the currency’s weakness, causing the DXY index to drop to 95.80 points, while Bitcoin seized the momentum to climb toward $89,300.

The current macroeconomic landscape has favored reserve assets amid the greenback’s devaluation. Gold also joined the action, reaching a new all-time high of $5,215, while Bitcoin managed to reverse the bearish trend of recent days. According to analysts from Swissblock and Willy Woo, a bullish divergence has been identified in the RSI indicator, which typically precedes significant recovery movements.

Over the coming hours, the resistance zone at $95,000 will be closely monitored, as will the technical target projected by the Bitcoin Vector research service. Investors should remain alert this Wednesday for the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates, as any comments from Jerome Powell could inject the volatility needed to consolidate this reversal or force a new phase of consolidation.

Binance’s fifth Pre-TGE Prime Sale for Zama is on January 29, 2026.Participants need Binance Alpha Points for eligibility.Zama has secured over $130 million in funding. Binance Wallet plans to launch its fifth Pre-TGE Prime Sale featuring Zama (ZAMA) on January 29, 2026, between 08:00-10:00 UTC, requiring Binance Alpha Points for eligibility.

The Zama sale offers potential high returns and aligns with Binance’s successful Pre-TGE history, indicating a significant event for investors and the cryptocurrency market.

Binance Zama Prime Sale Announced for January 2026 Binance’s announcement of the Zama Prime Sale follows prior successful launches, such as FOGO and SENT. Participants are rewarded with “Keys,” converting to tokens post-TGE, anticipated around February 2, 2026. Eligibility depends on holding Binance Alpha Points, encouraging community involvement and exclusive access.

The implications are significant for Zama, a project backed by notable investors like Pantera Capital and Multicoin Capital, having secured over $130 million. Zama’s pre-market futures began at a price of $0.0675, with an approximate fully diluted valuation near $742 million. The event reflects Binance’s strategy of reducing supply volatility and enhancing investor engagement through structured Pre-TGE offerings.

BingX offers exclusive rewards and top-tier security for new and high-volume crypto traders.

Community reactions have centered around anticipated returns and the mechanics of participation. There is notable excitement within Binance Square discussions, though no direct statements have emerged from key figures or experts. An unverified report suggests Coinbase is considering adding Zama to its listing roadmap, although this remains unconfirmed.

Zama Valuation Trends Amidst Binance Sale Announcement Did you know? Binance’s Prime Sale events frequently witness substantial returns post-TGE, with prior cases like MMT experiencing a max return of 500x. This trend potentially signals significant future valuation adjustments for participants in Zama’s upcoming sale.

As of January 27, 2026, Zama (ZAMA) is priced at $0.05, with a market cap of $106 million and a fully diluted market cap of approximately $530 million, reports CoinMarketCap. While its trading volume shows no significant change, recent price shifts exhibit a decline of nearly 70% over 30 days.

Regulatory impacts remain minimal, however, technological advances could improve visibility within decentralized finance spaces, bolstering market confidence.

Winter Storm Fernan hit the U.S. today, impacting Bitcoin mining operations. Foundry USA, a major Bitcoin mining pool, took about 200 exahashes per second (EH/s) offline due to the storm. This caused a significant drop in the Bitcoin network’s overall hashrate, affecting block production.

The storm’s impact was felt across several states. Power outages were reported in key mining regions, further complicating operations. Miners are struggling to restore services quickly.

Foundry USA is now working to bring systems back online. Many miners are assessing the damage caused by the storm. The extent of the operational disruptions remains uncertain.

Bitcoin’s network is resilient, but challenges persist. Weather-related disruptions highlight vulnerabilities. Miners are urged to enhance their contingency measures.

The company did not specify when full operations will resume. No official comment on expected losses was provided. A detailed recovery timeline is yet to be announced.

The storm’s effects extended to other mining pools. Antpool and F2Pool also reported reduced activity. Both entities are assessing the situation, with no immediate timeline for recovery.

On January 25, the Bitcoin network’s difficulty adjustment was due. However, the hashrate drop may influence this process. Analysts expect potential delays in block times as a result.

Energy providers are coordinating with mining firms. They aim to prioritize power restoration in affected areas. Utilities are currently focused on stabilizing grids and preventing further outages.

The U.S. National Weather Service issued warnings earlier this week. They highlighted the severity of Winter Storm Fernan. Preparations were advised, but the storm’s intensity exceeded expectations.

The storm has raised concerns among industry experts. On January 26, CryptoQuant analyst Kim Lee noted the impact on Bitcoin’s price stability. “The reduced hashrate could lead to volatility,” Lee stated. Market watchers are closely monitoring price movements.

Local authorities are assisting with recovery efforts. In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott activated emergency response teams. These teams are working to restore infrastructure swiftly. Coordination with mining companies is a priority, Abbott’s office confirmed.

Some mining firms are considering relocating equipment. A spokesperson for Riot Platforms mentioned potential moves to safer locations. This decision is being evaluated based on ongoing weather forecasts. Equipment safety remains a top concern for operators.

Core Scientific, another major mining firm, reported a 15% decline in output since the storm began. On January 26, the company stated that they are in contact with local authorities to expedite power restoration. Core Scientific’s CEO, Mike Levitt, emphasized the importance of quick recovery to minimize losses.

Meanwhile, the Bitcoin network’s transaction fees have seen a noticeable increase. Data from Glassnode shows transaction fees rising to $3.50 per transaction, up from $2.10 earlier this week. This spike is attributed to the reduced hashrate and slower block times, leading to network congestion.

Despite the disruptions, some smaller mining operations have managed to maintain limited functionality. A spokesperson for Greenidge Generation mentioned that their New York facility is operating at reduced capacity. They are leveraging backup power sources to continue processing transactions, albeit at a slower rate.

Weather forecasts predict that the storm’s intensity may decrease over the weekend. However, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) cautions that lingering effects could still impact the power grid. Utility companies are advised to remain vigilant and prepared for further challenges.

In brief Liquidity indicators remain supportive for Bitcoin in the near term, though growth is expected to slow. Institutional investors are favoring options hedges over leveraged futures positions. On-chain data suggest redistribution by long-term holders rather than forced selling. Bitcoin is flashing signs of a more stable and resilient phase, according to a new quarterly report from Coinbase Institutional and on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, released Tuesday.

The report, Charting Crypto: 1Q 2026, said excess leverage was largely flushed from the market during last year’s fourth-quarter selloff, leaving Bitcoin less vulnerable to cascading liquidations and better positioned to absorb macroeconomic shocks.

Rather than signaling the start of a renewed speculative rally, the analysis suggests Bitcoin is behaving more like a macro-sensitive asset, shaped by global liquidity conditions, institutional positioning, and deliberate portfolio rebalancing. 

The authors frame the current environment as one in which durability matters more than speed.

That shift marks a departure from earlier market cycles dominated by retail momentum and leveraged trading. Instead, the report points to a more disciplined market structure, supported by liquidity but constrained by defensive positioning from professional investors.

“We believe that crypto markets are entering 2026 in a healthier state, with excess leverage having been flushed from the system in Q4,” the authors wrote. “The macro environment looks sound, and monetary policy should be supportive.”

One of the report’s key forward-looking indicators is Coinbase’s custom Global M2 Money Supply Index, which the firms say has historically led Bitcoin’s price by roughly 110 days. 

The index remains positively aligned with the current quarter, suggesting near-term support for the world’s largest crypto, though researchers warned that money supply growth is expected to moderate later in the period.

Open interest in Bitcoin options, meanwhile, has overtaken perpetual futures, with investors increasingly paying for downside protection rather than adding directional leverage, a signal that hedging has replaced aggressive risk-taking.

“This week's market landscape presents an intriguing dilemma for directional and day traders,” Farzam Ehsani, co-founder and CEO of crypto exchange VALR, told Decrypt. “With the Fed's rate decision, inflation data, political risks, and trade tensions converging, the market faces too many unpredictable factors to favor leverage-heavy trading or upside hunting.”

On-chain data show a similar pattern. 

Bitcoin activity picked up late last year, with coins changing hands at a much faster pace, while the share of long-held supply edged lower, in a sign that investors were reallocating positions rather than exiting the market outright.

The report also found that investor sentiment has weakened since October, slipping from optimism to caution and remaining subdued, as shown by on-chain measures of unrealized gains and losses.

Taken together, the signals suggest Bitcoin may be entering a phase defined by slower price discovery and tighter links to macroeconomic conditions.

Still, the authors cautioned that a slowdown in liquidity growth, renewed inflationary pressures, or geopolitical shocks could test whether the market’s newfound stability holds.

Bitcoin is up 1.2% on the day to $89,000 and remains flat over the past seven days, according to CoinGecko data.

Bitcoin is moving into mainstream banking in small, steady steps. What once seemed unlikely is becoming routine as traditional banks test ways to hold, trade, or lend against Bitcoin. Reports say a sizable slice of the biggest US banks are now planning real customer offerings.

60% Of Top Banks Preparing Bitcoin Products: River Study A study conducted by Bitcoin financial services firm River shows about 60% of the top 25 US banks are at some stage of building Bitcoin services, from custody to trading and client-facing products. This shift is not just talk; it shows up in boardroom plans and pilot projects across several large lenders.

Banks Moving From Caution To Practical Steps For years, many banks kept their distance. But change came fast after clearer rules and big exchange-traded funds put Bitcoin on more mainstream radars. Spot ETF approvals and rising demand from big investors nudged banks to revisit their stance and to test practical, compliant ways to serve customers interested in digital assets.

60% of the top US banks are into bitcoin. pic.twitter.com/AqceDDfjDP

— River (@River) January 26, 2026

Some major names are already on the record with pilot projects or new services. Reports mention that JPMorgan Chase is looking at crypto trading, Wells Fargo has rolled out credit and custody-linked offerings to institutional clients, and Citigroup is exploring custody and payments tied to tokenized assets. Those moves signal a shift from theory to products customers can use.

How This Changes The Picture For Clients Customers could get simpler access to Bitcoin without needing separate crypto accounts. That means an investor might see Bitcoin as another line on a bank statement, with custody and reporting wrapped into services they already use. Some banks plan to partner with specialists to avoid taking on all the technical work themselves, keeping risk and compliance squarely in focus.

BTCUSD now trading at 87,925. Chart: TradingView Regulation, Risk, And The Role Of Policy Regulatory moves earlier in the year reopened options that were closed when tight capital rules made custody costly. Reports note that a change in guidance helped some banks resume or rethink custody services, and that the current political climate under US President Donald Trump has been described as more favorable to broader crypto adoption. These shifts are nudging banks to act where they had hesitated.

Expect more pilot announcements and a slow roll of services into client offerings. Not every bank will move at the same speed. Some will stay cautious, others will move sooner. The practical test will be whether banks can offer secure custody, clear accounting, and easy reporting without taking on outsized risk.

Christian, a journalist and editor with leadership roles in Philippine and Canadian media, is fueled by his love for writing and cryptocurrency. Off-screen, he's a cook and cinephile who's constantly intrigued by the size of the universe.

Media personality Tucker Carlson and economist Peter Schiff engaged in a debate this week over Bitcoin’s potential to replace the U.S. dollar, touching on issues of inflation, government spending and the future of monetary policy.

Summary

Schiff characterized a proposal to establish a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve as a taxpayer-funded bailout for early adopters. Carlson questioned whether Bitcoin could replace the dollar as fiat currency confidence declines. Bitcoin lacks intrinsic value and non-monetary demand, Schiff argues. Schiff, a longtime cryptocurrency critic and gold advocate, stated during the interview that Bitcoin functions as a speculative commodity without underlying utility beyond price appreciation. He characterized a proposal to establish a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve as a taxpayer-funded bailout for early adopters rather than sound monetary policy.

Watch the video below.

The economist argued that Bitcoin demand stems primarily from buyers’ expectations of selling at higher prices later, describing the phenomenon as consistent with the greater fool theory rather than productive investment.

The exchange occurred within a broader discussion of inflation and government expenditure. Schiff told Carlson that official inflation statistics fail to represent actual household cost-of-living increases, asserting that modifications to the Consumer Price Index have understated price inflation. He attributed rising prices to money and credit expansion rather than corporate pricing decisions.

Schiff criticized fiscal policy across both Democratic and Republican administrations, specifically citing the Big Beautiful Bill proposed by President Donald Trump as worsening the deficit through expanded government spending and reduced taxes.

The economist traced current economic pressures to the termination of the gold standard in 1971, when the U.S. dollar became fully fiat currency. He stated that decades of low interest rates and monetary expansion have eroded purchasing power and distorted asset prices.

Global monetary dynamics also featured in the discussion. Schiff noted that the dollar’s status as the world’s leading reserve currency has enabled the United States to run persistent trade deficits. He stated that this arrangement faces strain as nations reassess dollar exposure, particularly following sanctions on Russia, which he described as demonstrating risks associated with holding dollar-denominated reserves. He cited central bank diversification into gold as evidence of this trend, reflected in recent price movements.

Schiff referenced a recent Bitcoin price decline as indication that investors favor traditional stores of value over speculative assets.

When Carlson questioned whether Bitcoin could replace the dollar as fiat currency confidence declines, Schiff rejected the premise. He stated that Bitcoin lacks intrinsic value and non-monetary demand, making it unsuitable as a reserve currency for central banks requiring stability and deep liquidity. While acknowledging that both fiat currency and Bitcoin depend on confidence, Schiff distinguished gold as a tangible commodity with applications in jewelry, electronics, aerospace and medicine.

The debate reflects ongoing discussions in financial markets and policy circles. Bitcoin advocates increasingly position the cryptocurrency as digital gold, citing its limited supply and non-sovereign nature, while U.S. national debt has exceeded $37 trillion.

Tether has officially entered the U.S. regulated stablecoin arena with the launch of USAT, a new dollar-backed digital asset designed specifically for institutional adoption. Developed in partnership with federally chartered Anchorage Digital and financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald, USAT represents Tether’s first attempt to compete directly in the compliance-heavy U.S. market long dominated by Circle’s USDC.

For years, USDC has positioned itself as the preferred stablecoin for banks, fintech companies and U.S.-regulated crypto exchanges, emphasizing transparency, regulatory alignment and institutional trust. While USDC’s market capitalization stands at around $72 billion, far below Tether’s flagship USDT at roughly $186 billion, USDC has seen faster growth in recent years, particularly within the U.S. financial system.

Analysts say USAT could be the first credible domestic competitor to USDC if it succeeds in attracting institutional users. According to Noelle Acheson, author of the Crypto Is Macro Now newsletter, USAT is intentionally built as an institutional-grade stablecoin and targets many of the same clients that currently rely on USDC. The involvement of Anchorage Digital, a well-known crypto-native bank, along with Cantor Fitzgerald, adds traditional finance credibility that could appeal to compliance-focused firms.

Another potential advantage is USAT’s connection to Tether’s global ecosystem. Institutions may be able to benefit from seamless conversion between USAT and USDT, giving them access to Tether’s extensive international liquidity network. Additionally, the participation of former White House official Bo Hines could help ease lingering concerns around Tether’s reserve transparency, a long-standing issue for some institutional investors.

However, not all analysts believe USAT will significantly disrupt USDC’s position in the near term. ClearStreet analyst Owen Lau described the competitive risk to Circle as manageable, noting that it is still too early to measure real market impact. There is also the possibility that USAT could cannibalize some demand for USDT, potentially creating internal competition within Tether’s own stablecoin lineup.

Still, industry observers argue that USAT’s launch highlights a broader trend: growing demand for regulated U.S. dollar tokens following recent stablecoin legislation. If USAT gains traction, it could reshape the competitive dynamics of the U.S. stablecoin market and mark a new chapter in the rivalry between Tether and Circle.

Ripple has officially launched Ripple Treasury, a new enterprise treasury solution designed to unify traditional cash management with digital assets, further expanding real-world use cases for XRP-powered payment infrastructure. The platform aims to address long-standing inefficiencies in global treasury operations by offering finance teams a single, integrated system for managing fiat currencies and digital assets.

According to Reece Merrick, Ripple Treasury is built to modernize treasury workflows by reducing friction in payments, liquidity management, and digital asset settlement across international markets. Many enterprises today rely on fragmented legacy systems that struggle to operate efficiently across time zones and jurisdictions. Ripple Treasury seeks to solve this by enabling seamless, real-time financial operations on a global scale.

One of the key advantages of Ripple Treasury is its ability to support continuous, 24/7 yield optimization. Unlike traditional banking systems that limit capital usage to business hours, the platform allows idle funds to be invested and optimized around the clock. This feature is particularly valuable for multinational enterprises looking to improve capital efficiency and returns.

Ripple Treasury also offers instant cross-border settlement, helping organizations reduce foreign exchange costs and eliminate the need to pre-fund accounts in multiple countries. By removing liquidity fragmentation and minimizing reliance on numerous banking partners, the platform simplifies international treasury management while lowering operational costs. Ripple has noted that the solution is future-ready, with a design optimized for tokenized assets and programmable payments as financial markets continue to evolve.

The platform is powered by GTreasury, a well-established enterprise treasury provider with more than 40 years of industry experience. GTreasury describes Ripple Treasury as the first end-to-end solution to combine deep enterprise treasury expertise with advanced digital asset infrastructure. Its underlying technology is already trusted by hundreds of financial institutions worldwide and licensed in over 75 jurisdictions.

In parallel with this launch, Ripple continues to strengthen its global regulatory footprint. The company has recently received EMI license approval in Luxembourg, enabling it to provide end-to-end payment infrastructure to EU financial institutions. This regulatory progress reinforces Ripple’s broader strategy of embedding blockchain-based payments into the global financial system and scaling XRP adoption across enterprise and banking networks.

According to the Bitvocation 2025 Bitcoin Jobs Data report, a total of 1,801 Bitcoin-related job openings were posted last year. That number was about 6% higher than the 1,707 listings recorded in 2024.

Many of the new roles were not for engineers. Non-technical positions — like product managers, marketing leads, and executive support — made up roughly 74% of the openings. This points to firms trying to build stronger day-to-day operations as they grow.

Hiring Hot Spots And Fast Movers Reports say the US kept its lead with around 500 listings. But Singapore recorded the fastest jump, with job postings rising by close to 160% year over year, pushing it up the rankings.

Some smaller markets also stood out: a few countries in Europe and Asia showed sizable gains, while Switzerland saw a sharp drop in opportunities. Companies appear to be spreading hiring across more places, not just the usual tech hubs.

Director-level spots increased dramatically, by a factor of about 10, as teams added senior hires to manage growth. Remote work dipped. The share of fully remote jobs fell from about 53% to 45%, which suggests more roles now need some physical presence or hybrid schedules.

Salaries were not always listed, but some senior positions had clear compensation bands, signaling firms are willing to pay for experience.

What This Means For Job Seekers For candidates, the market now rewards broader skill sets. People who can write, manage products, or run operations with a basic grasp of Bitcoin found more openings.

Recruiters preferred people who could move between tasks and handle multiple responsibilities, because many teams remained small even as hiring increased.

South Dakota has joined the growing list of U.S. states exploring Bitcoin adoption at the government level, as Representative Logan Manhart introduced a new bill that would allow the South Dakota State Investment Council to invest in Bitcoin. If passed, the legislation would place Bitcoin alongside traditional assets such as government securities, bonds, and exchange-traded funds within the state’s investment portfolio, signaling a major shift in how public funds could be managed.

Under the proposal, the State Investment Council would be permitted to allocate up to 10% of its available funds into Bitcoin, setting a clear cap to manage risk exposure. Manhart emphasized the symbolic and financial significance of the move, stating that Bitcoin represents “strong money” that aligns with the vision of building a “strong state.” The bill arrives at a time when digital assets are gaining broader acceptance among institutional and governmental investors across the United States.

The introduction of House Bill 1155 also coincides with renewed national attention on Bitcoin, particularly as the U.S. government advances discussions around a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Trump’s crypto adviser, Patrick Witt, recently confirmed that establishing such a reserve remains a priority for the current administration, further reinforcing Bitcoin’s growing role in public finance conversations.

A major focus of the South Dakota proposal is security and custody. The bill outlines strict requirements for safeguarding digital assets, allowing Bitcoin holdings to be managed through secure direct custody, qualified custodians, or regulated exchange-traded products. If the state holds Bitcoin directly, the Investment Council must maintain exclusive control over private keys, employ hardware encryption, and store key-related hardware across at least two geographically diverse and secure data centers. Additional measures include multi-party transaction approvals, disaster recovery planning, regular penetration testing, and mandatory audits.

If approved, South Dakota could follow states like Texas, which disclosed a Bitcoin purchase of up to $5 million in late 2024. Other states are moving in similar directions, with Kansas and Arizona proposing or implementing Bitcoin reserve strategies using unclaimed digital assets rather than liquidating them. As more states consider Bitcoin investment, South Dakota’s bill highlights a broader trend toward integrating cryptocurrency into public-sector financial strategies.
