NYSE Sees Record Message Volumes as AI Fuels Trading stocknewsapi
ICE
Daily trading activity on Wall Street has reached unprecedented levels, with the New York Stock Exchange now processing about 1.2 trillion order messages each day, according to exchange President Lynn Martin. That is nearly three times the volume seen during a volatile trading day four years ago.

Each message represents a single instruction to buy, sell, cancel or modify an order. Martin said the sharp rise reflects how artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic systems are redefining the pace and structure of U.S. financial markets.

“When I first took this job four years ago, COVID was still rearing its head, and a volatile day in our market saw about 350 billion incoming order messages,” she told Fortune. “This past April, a peak day for us was 1.2 trillion messages.” Martin attributed the surge to “AI-fueled trading, algorithmic strategies and hyper-speed market participants.”

Algorithmic trading has existed for decades, but recent advances in machine learning have made these systems more adaptive, able to learn from new data rather than follow fixed rules. As research from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology notes, AI-driven algorithms can now analyze market patterns, adjust pricing, and execute trades within milliseconds. This shift has multiplied the amount of trading-related data flowing through exchanges like the NYSE as automated systems compete to update and manage orders in real time.

Martin said the scale and speed of trading activity have made human oversight alone impossible. “It’s our obligation to protect the financial markets, so we have to watch those messages,” she said. “We can’t do that with a bunch of humans. We need good technology.” Artificial intelligence is now central to the NYSE’s surveillance systems, helping the exchange monitor trades and detect irregular behavior in real time.

In an interview with CNBC, Martin said the NYSE’s systems are now handling record traffic more efficiently than they did during the market turmoil of 2020. She said infrastructure upgrades and the use of AI-based monitoring tools have allowed the exchange to manage higher trading volumes without major disruptions.

Records in Market Activity
The NYSE Research, described how a volatile week in April illustrated the scale of modern trading. “The five trading days between April 3 and April 9 marked a period of unprecedented volatility in U.S. equity markets. All five trading days landed in the top ten highest volume days in history, including three distinct record-setting days capped by a record 30.98 billion shares on April 9 as the S&P 500 rallied 9.5 percent. The NYSE Group handled over 1 trillion messages on multiple days, a new all-time high.”

Despite the record activity, the NYSE said its market structure helped maintain stability. Trading halts, which temporarily stop buying and selling when prices move sharply, occurred 25 times on the NYSE compared with 334 on a competing exchange. The exchange credited its hybrid model, which combines automated order matching with oversight by human market professionals known as Designated Market Makers, for helping stabilize prices and maintain liquidity during rapid market movements.

Technology, Oversight and Systemic Risks
To handle the growing message flow, the NYSE operates a purpose-built data center and private network that are disconnected from the public internet. Martin said this design improves both performance and cybersecurity. “We take cyber super seriously,” she told Fortune. “On our most critical infrastructure, we have full visibility of the system, and therefore we can protect that infrastructure.”

The exchange’s parent company, Intercontinental Exchange, or ICE, has expanded its data-processing systems using Snowflake’s Data Cloud. ICE said the move reduced data costs by about 50% and improved reporting speeds by 80%. The system processes detailed, time-stamped trade data that supports compliance and oversight.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has described similar trends across global markets, noting that “AI-driven trading could lead to faster and more efficient markets, but also higher trading volumes and greater volatility in times of stress.”

The IMF said that as AI becomes more widely used, “markets could become opaque, harder to monitor, and more vulnerable to cyber-attacks and manipulation risks.” It also reported that the share of AI-related patents in algorithmic trading has grown rapidly, underscoring how deeply machine learning is being integrated into financial systems.

The IMF warned that because many AI systems act on similar data and signals, they can respond in the same way during market stress, which could amplify volatility. It observed that while AI can deepen liquidity and improve efficiency in stable conditions, it may also heighten systemic risk when multiple trading systems react simultaneously.

Martin said the NYSE’s goal is to ensure stability even as trading volumes and speeds continue to rise. She said the exchange’s hybrid structure, private network, and AI-based monitoring systems have made it more resilient than during previous periods of volatility.

Flexsteel Industries (FLXS) Tops Q1 Earnings and Revenue Estimates stocknewsapi
FLXS
Flexsteel Industries (FLXS - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.31 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.78 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.74 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +67.95%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this furniture maker would post earnings of $0.84 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.4, delivering a surprise of +66.67%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Flexsteel, which belongs to the Zacks Furniture industry, posted revenues of $110.44 million for the quarter ended September 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.80%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $104.01 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Flexsteel shares have lost about 29.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 13.3%.

What's Next for Flexsteel?While Flexsteel has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Flexsteel was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.56 on $107.4 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $3.00 on $445.13 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Furniture is currently in the bottom 19% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

La-Z-Boy (LZB - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended October 2025.

This furniture company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.52 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -26.8%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

La-Z-Boy's revenues are expected to be $517.2 million, down 0.7% from the year-ago quarter.

The provision expense recorded during the third quarter of 2025 was primarily due to increased loan production and current period net charge-offs, offset by other changes in loss rates and economic factors. The Company's annualized net charge-offs to average LHFI ratio was 0.03% for the third quarter of 2025 as compared to 0.06% and 0.02% during the second quarter of 2025 and third quarter of 2024, respectively.

Nonperforming assets totaled $14.2 million, or 0.63% of total assets, at September 30, 2025 compared to $15.9 million, or 0.76% of total assets at December 31, 2024. The $1.7 million decrease in nonperforming assets at September 30, 2025 from December 31, 2024 was due to the sale of other real estate owned and payments collected on nonaccrual loans during the period. Adjusted nonperforming assets2, which excludes the guaranteed portions of nonaccrual loans, was $9.7 million, or 0.43% of total assets, at September 30, 2025 compared to $11.1 million, or 0.53% of total assets, at December 31, 2024.

Forward-looking statements are not historical in nature and may be identified by references to a future period or periods by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “outlook,” or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.” The forward-looking statements in this press release should not be relied on because they are based on current information and on assumptions that we make about future events and circumstances that are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are often difficult to predict and beyond our control. As a result of those risks and uncertainties, and other factors, our actual financial results in the future could differ, possibly materially, from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this press release and could cause us to make changes to our future plans.

Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the impact of current and future economic conditions, particularly those affecting the financial services industry, including the effects of declines in the real estate market, high unemployment rates, inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates and slowdowns in economic growth, as well as the financial stress on borrowers as a result of the foregoing; potential impacts of any adverse developments in the banking industry, including any impacts on customer confidence, deposit outflows, liquidity and the regulatory response thereto; changes in the interest rate environment, including changes to the federal funds rate; changes in prices, values and sales volumes of residential and commercial real estate; competition in our markets that may result in increased funding costs or reduced earning assets yields, thus reducing margins and net interest income; interest rate fluctuations, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s profitability; a breach in security of our information systems, including the occurrence of a cyber-attack incidents or a deficiencies in cyber security; risks related to potential acquisitions; government actions or inactions, including a prolonged shutdown of the federal government, tariffs, or trade wards (including reduced consumer spending, lower economic growth or recession, reduced demand for U.S. exports, disruptions to supply chains, and decreased demand for other banking products and services), legislation or regulatory changes which could adversely affect the ability of the consolidated Company to conduct business combinations or new operations; changes in tax laws; significant turbulence or a disruption in the capital or financial markets and the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our investment securities; the effects of war or other conflicts, domestic civil unrest and tyranny, and changes in the overall geopolitical landscape; and adverse results from current or future litigation, regulatory examinations or other legal and/or regulatory actions, including as a result of the Company’s participation in and execution of government programs. Therefore, the Company can give no assurance that the results contemplated in the forward-looking statements will be realized.

Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties to which our business and future financial performance are subject is contained in the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s final prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 2, 2025 (Registration No. 333-287854), relating to our initial public offering, and in other documents that we file with the SEC from time to time, which are available on the SEC’s website, http://www.sec.gov.

In addition, our actual financial results in the future may differ from those currently expected due to additional risks and uncertainties of which we are not currently aware or which we do not currently view as, but in the future may become, material to our business or operating results. Due to these and other possible uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release or to make predictions based solely on historical financial performance.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. All forward-looking statements, express or implied, included in this press release are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The measures entitled return on average tangible common equity, tangible book value per share, tangible common equity, tangible assets, adjusted nonperforming assets to total assets, adjusted nonperforming assets, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average equity, efficiency ratio, as adjusted, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, adjusted noninterest income to total revenue, and tangible common equity to tangible assets are not measures recognized under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures to these measures are return on average shareholders’ equity, book value per share, total shareholders’ equity, total assets, total nonperforming assets to total assets, total nonperforming assets, net income, basic earnings per share, diluted earnings per share, net income, return on average assets, return on average equity, the efficiency ratio, return on average equity, noninterest income to total revenue, total common equity to total assets, respectively.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures permit investors to view the Company’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the Company’s past performance and prospects for future performance. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our performance, this information should be considered as supplemental and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as additional views of the way the Company’s financial measures are affected by significant items and other factors, and since they are not required to be uniformly applied, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures at other companies.

BAX INVESTOR ALERT: Baxter International Inc. Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Class Action Lawsuit stocknewsapi
BAX
, /PRNewswire/ -- The law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of Baxter International, Inc. (NYSE: BAX) common stock between February 23, 2022 and July 30, 2025, inclusive (the "Class Period"), have until December 15, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Baxter class action lawsuit. Captioned Electrical Workers Pension Fund, Local 103, I.B.E.W. v. Baxter International, Inc., No. 25-cv-12672 (N.D. Ill.), the Baxter class action lawsuit charges Baxter and certain of Baxter's top current and former executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Baxter class action lawsuit, please provide your information here:

https://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases-baxter-international-class-action-lawsuit-bax.html  

You can also contact attorneys J.C. Sanchez or Jennifer N. Caringal of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at [email protected].

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Baxter, through its subsidiaries, provides a portfolio of healthcare products.

The Baxter class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Baxter's Novum IQ Large Volume Pump ("Novum LVP") suffered systemic defects that caused widespread malfunctions, including underinfusion, overinfusion, and complete non-delivery of fluids, which exposed patients to risks of serious injury or death; (ii) Baxter was notified of multiple device malfunctions, injuries, and deaths from these defects; (iii) Baxter's attempts to address these defects through customer alerts were inadequate remedial measures, when design flaws persisted and continued to cause serious harm to patients; and (iv) as a result, there was a heightened risk that customers would be instructed to take existing Novum LVPs out of service and that Baxter would completely pause all new sales of these pumps.

The Baxter class action lawsuit further alleges that on July 31, 2025, Baxter announced that it had decided to "voluntarily and temporarily pause shipments and planned installations of the Novum LVP" and that it was "unable to currently commit to an exact timing for resuming shipment and installation for Novum IQ LVPs." Defendants further stated that they had offered "customers the option of our Spectrum infusion pump as an alternative" and that Baxter's low-end guidance assumes that Baxter does not resume shipments for Novum LVPs before the end of the year, according to the complaint. The Baxter class action lawsuit alleges that on this news, the price of Baxter common stock fell more than 22%.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Baxter common stock during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Baxter class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Baxter class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a firm of its choice to litigate the Baxter class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Baxter class action lawsuit.

Zions (ZION) Q3 Earnings and Revenues Beat Estimates stocknewsapi
ZION
Zions (ZION - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.54 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.19 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.37 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +29.41%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this financial holding company would post earnings of $1.31 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.58, delivering a surprise of +20.61%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Zions, which belongs to the Zacks Banks - West industry, posted revenues of $872 million for the quarter ended September 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.14%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $804 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Zions shares have lost about 8.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 13.3%.

What's Next for Zions?While Zions has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Zions was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.47 on $858.26 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $5.68 on $3.35 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - West is currently in the bottom 35% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Another stock from the same industry, Avidbank Holdings Inc. (AVBH - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2025. The results are expected to be released on October 23.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.77 per share in its upcoming report, which represents no change from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

Avidbank Holdings Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $23.8 million, up 16.7% from the year-ago quarter.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +16.06%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this financial holding company would post earnings of $1.24 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.45, delivering a surprise of +16.94%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

This compares to year-ago revenues of $34.07 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Home Bancorp shares have added about 10.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 13.3%.

What's Next for Home Bancorp?While Home Bancorp has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

Jim Cramer says Apple's rally to a record shows why you should hold, not sell, the stock stocknewsapi
AAPL
CNBC's Jim Cramer said Monday that Apple's latest surge, up nearly 9.95 points or about 4%, underscores why investors should own the stock rather than try to trade it and why the broader market followed its lead.

Apple helped lift the Dow by 1.12% points, the S&P 500 by 1.07% and the Nasdaq by 1.37%, fueled by three bullish analyst calls, including longtime Apple watcher Ben Reitzes at Melius Research, who Cramer noted been "has on board the whole way." Apple hit a record high at the end of trading on Monday.

"As long as Apple makes the best products, people will buy them," Cramer said.

Cramer highlighted the iPhone 17 lineup as proof of the tech giant's unmatched product cycle. As Cramer discussed with Apple CEO Tim Cook last month, from the lightest version to the heavy-duty model, demand is strong and features like improved selfie technology make Apple devices stand out. Pricing stability, aided by trade-in values and carrier subsidies, reinforced Apple's appeal, while the iPhone Air's sleek form factor drew attention from consumers.

Cramer said the rally was foreseeable, but many investors were distracted by persistent negativity. Critics seized on employee departures to Meta, concerns about Siri, weaker China sales and incremental upgrades.

Analysts now see upside in China through 2026 and momentum across new devices, including a potential foldable iPhone next year. Reports from Evercore and Loop Capital highlight double-digit growth in Apple's services and a multi-year phone cycle ahead, reinforcing the stock's long-term potential.

Cramer noted the 1.5 billion iPhones currently in use and the enthusiasm that drives lines at product launches. Cramer also pointed to Apple's leverage with partners like Alphabet who reportedly paid more than $20 billion to make Google the default search engine on iPhones, demonstrating how Apple can monetize its ecosystem without heavy investment.

He suggested Apple could take a similar approach with artificial intelligence, allowing chatbot developers to pay for iPhone integration, generating substantial margins without building its own AI model.

Cramer was critical of traders who tried to time Apple rather than holding it. Many sold when sentiment turned negative and re-entered after the stock had already risen, missing the bulk of the rally. Analysts, reporters and short-sellers, he said, contributed to that fear but are now being forced to raise their estimates in response to Apple's momentum. Cramer also cited other misunderstood companies, like Salesforce and Amazon, to illustrate how Wall Street negativity often peaks just as fundamentals improve.

"If you used common sense," Cramer said. "If you checked out prices from the phone carrier at Costco and you asked a salesperson for specs at an Apple store, then you had everything you needed to know why you should own, not trade, Apple."

This compares to year-ago revenues of $4.34 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Columbia Financial (CLBK - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.15 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.13 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.06 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +15.38%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.11 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.12, delivering a surprise of +9.09%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.

Columbia Financial, which belongs to the Zacks Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry, posted revenues of $67.25 million for the quarter ended September 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.52%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $54.25 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Columbia Financial shares have lost about 13.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 13.3%.

What's Next for Columbia Financial?While Columbia Financial has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Columbia Financial was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On August 15, 2025, Investing.com published a story entitled “Soleno Therapeutics stock falls after Scorpion Capital short report.” The article stated that Soleno Therapeutics stock had fallen “following a short report from Scorpion Capital that raised serious concerns about the company’s recently approved Prader-Willi syndrome treatment, VYKAT XR.” It further stated that the Scorpion Capital report “highlighted personal safety issues,” and that it “suggested the drug may be at risk of being withdrawn from the market or facing a significant decline in new prescriptions.”

The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 0.04% higher within the past month. Modine currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

Valuation is also important, so investors should note that Modine has a Forward P/E ratio of 33.2 right now. This valuation marks a premium compared to its industry average Forward P/E of 12.96.

Meanwhile, MOD's PEG ratio is currently 0.98. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. As of the close of trade yesterday, the Automotive - Original Equipment industry held an average PEG ratio of 0.99.

The Automotive - Original Equipment industry is part of the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector. At present, this industry carries a Zacks Industry Rank of 68, placing it within the top 28% of over 250 industries.

The Zacks Industry Rank evaluates the power of our distinct industry groups by determining the average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks forming the groups. Our research shows that the top 50% rated industries outperform the bottom half by a factor of 2 to 1.

Cadence (CADE) Beats Q3 Earnings Estimates stocknewsapi
CADE
Cadence (CADE - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.81 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.78 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.73 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.

This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +3.85%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this bank would post earnings of $0.69 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.73, delivering a surprise of +5.8%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.

Cadence, which belongs to the Zacks Banks - Southeast industry, posted revenues of $517.21 million for the quarter ended September 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.98%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $447.36 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.

The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.

Cadence shares have added about 6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 13.3%.

What's Next for Cadence?While Cadence has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.

Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.

Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Cadence was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.83 on $533.03 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $3.01 on $1.99 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - Southeast is currently in the top 31% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

One other stock from the same industry, FVCBankcorp (FVCB - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended September 2025.

This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.31 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +24%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.

FVCBankcorp's revenues are expected to be $17.09 million, up 13.7% from the year-ago quarter.

On-Chain Metrics Show Sui Driving More Activity Than Cardano cryptonews
SUI
TLDR:

SUI generated $46.7K in fees on Oct 17 while Cardano brought in $7.6K, showing usage gaps.
Daily DEX volume on SUI reached $650.4M versus Cardano’s $3.4M, nearly 200x higher.
SUI recorded 691.5K daily active users compared to 28.6K on Cardano, signaling higher engagement.
Transactions per day on SUI hit 5.5M, while Cardano managed only 37.5K, despite longer history.

The gap between SUI and Cardano is growing on-chain, even as market narratives lag behind. Metrics suggest one chain is thriving in usage while the other maintains a high market cap without comparable activity. 

Daily revenue, trading volume, and user engagement highlight this contrast. SUI, barely in its second year, shows more consumer-scale activity than Cardano, established since 2017. 

According to Eye Zen Hour, the difference in metrics signals a potential misalignment between market cap and actual usage.

SUI Outpaces Cardano in Revenue and Trading
On October 17, SUI generated $46.7K in network fees, compared to Cardano’s $7.6K. Eye Zen Hour highlighted this gap as a structural difference in real usage. Revenue patterns suggest SUI is capturing more consistent activity across its ecosystem. 

Cardano’s fee generation has remained modest despite its larger market cap, reflecting limited network engagement.

Trading activity further illustrates the divergence. SUI recorded $650.4M in DEX volume for the same day, almost 200 times Cardano’s $3.4M. This indicates SUI users are transacting actively while Cardano remains mostly idle. On-chain observers point out that high DEX volume is a reliable signal of meaningful network adoption.

The daily user count confirms the trend. SUI reported 691.5K active users versus 28.6K for Cardano. This shows SUI is operating at consumer scale, while Cardano’s participation levels appear stagnant. 

Metrics like these make the case for a usage-driven valuation discussion.

SUI’s network is not only handling high transaction counts but also demonstrating scalability. The chain processed 5.5M transactions per day, far exceeding Cardano’s 37.5K. Despite its shorter history, SUI is executing at a level Cardano has not reached in years.

If Cardano is worth $23B, what’s $SUI really worth⁉️

The gap between Sui and Cardano is turning into a full-blown market anomaly

One chain is pushing volume, revenue, and activity across the board

The other has a $23B market cap and… not much else

Let’s walk through it ⤵️… https://t.co/KjFhyiAJKr pic.twitter.com/MscUwlEQAl

Market Cap Discrepancy Reflects Lagging Narrative
Eye Zen Hour noted that SUI’s market cap sits at $9B, while Cardano’s is $23B. Despite this, SUI consistently leads in on-chain activity metrics. 

The market narrative has not yet reflected the operational reality. Moreover, the chain’s high engagement, trading volume, and transaction throughput indicate a possible mispricing in valuation.

Metrics suggest that fundamentals are shifting, with SUI outperforming in active use and fee generation. Cardano’s larger market cap does not currently align with its on-chain performance. 

Investors watching usage metrics may reconsider the valuation gap between the two chains. The data also implies potential opportunities for chains gaining real adoption traction.

Transaction trends, user growth, and revenue point to the project as one of the most active networks globally. Market observers highlight that while market cap remains high for Cardano, SUI is pushing real activity at scale. 

According to Eye Zen Hour, metrics like these show the narrative is lagging, not the network.

Gemini integrates Solana staking directly into credit card cryptonews
SOL
Gemini is embedding core blockchain mechanics into consumer finance. The exchange said its new Solana credit card automatically stakes rewards, transforming everyday spending into direct participation in network security without any user intervention.

Summary

Gemini launched a Solana Edition credit card that automatically stakes SOL rewards.
The card offers up to 4% SOL back on gas, EV charging, and rideshare purchases.
Its debut follows Gemini’s addition of USDT and USDC transfers on Solana.

On Oct. 20, Gemini announced the launch of its Solana Edition credit card, introducing an auto-staking feature that folds blockchain participation into everyday consumer spending.

The publicly traded exchange said cardholders who opt for Solana (SOL) rewards can now have them automatically staked within Gemini’s system, earning network yield of up to 6.77% while supporting transaction validation on Solana’s high-performance blockchain.

The product, which follows Gemini’s earlier Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP card editions, offers up to 4% SOL back on gas, EV charging, and rideshare spending, and represents the firm’s latest move to blur the line between traditional credit utility and crypto-native incentives.

Gemini’s Solana card and what it means for users
Gemini said new applicants can activate the feature during the card sign-up process, while existing cardholders can opt in through their rewards settings once they select Solana as their preferred asset.

The process happens within the exchange’s staking system, which relies on Solana’s underlying network of node operators and smart contracts. These validators add new blocks and receive staking rewards for securing the network, with Gemini acting as the intermediary between the user and Solana’s decentralized architecture.

Gemini’s rationale for selecting Solana hinges on its ecosystem momentum and performance data. The exchange highlighted Solana’s “robust and active community” and its standing as a top ecosystem for developers. Perhaps more compelling is the internal data Gemini is using to market the card: users who held SOL rewards for at least one year saw their value appreciate by 299.1%, according to a firm analysis from late July.

This card launch is the latest step in Gemini’s strategic deepening into the Solana ecosystem. It comes just days after the exchange enabled deposits and withdrawals for USDT and USDC on Solana, praising the network’s fast settlement times and low transaction fees.

The announcement provided a modest boost to Gemini’s own stock, with shares climbing 5% during Monday’s trading to $20.67 as of press time. This uptick offers a slight reprieve for the public company, which has seen its stock price decline since its Nasdaq IPO earlier this year. Gemini debuted at $28 per share, raising over $425 million, but has since faced market pressures alongside the broader crypto sector.

Coinbase–Glassnode survey: Bitcoin outlook is ‘cautiously optimistic' cryptonews
BTC
A report released by Coinbase Institutional and Glassnode on Oct. 20, 2025, reveals that most investors believe the Bitcoin bull market will continue over the next 3–6 months. Researchers surveyed institutional investors and produced a crypto market outlook based on their responses. The report’s subtitle, “Navigating Uncertainty,” resonates with the recent nosedive following a new Bitcoin all-time high.

Summary

Researchers from Coinbase Institutional and financial consulting company Glassnode surveyed 124 investors between Sept. 17 and Oct. 3, 2025. 67% of institutional and 62% of independent inventors are bullish on Bitcoin for the next 3-6 months.
Almost half of the surveyed institutions (45%) believe that the bull market is in its final stage. Only 27% of surveyed independent respondents share this stance. Both categories named the macro environment as the biggest risk for the following 3-6 months.
39% and 40% of surveyed institutional and independent investors believe that Bitcoin dominance will stay at the 55-60% level in the next 3-6 months. 

The report begins with a foreword by David Duong, Coinbase Institutional’s head of research, who expects favorable macroeconomic, regulatory, and policy conditions. He believes digital asset treasury companies will continue to amplify crypto demand; new rate cuts by year-end could help mobilize $7 trillion in idle funds.

Duong also outlines several challenges, including the government shutdown, which limits access to key economic data, and the uncertain long-term viability of the DAT business model. The survey data are complemented by the authors’ market insights.

According to the report, researchers have a stance of “cautiously optimistic” on Q4 2025. They name the current market conditions especially good for Bitcoin.

Discrepancies between institutional and independent investors
As researchers surveyed 61 institutions and 63 independent investors, the results outline differences between their views of the market trends. 

First off, while both categories are optimistic about Bitcoin, most institutional respondents believe that the current bull market stage is final. Independent investors rather think we are at the accumulation or the markup stage.

Another slight discrepancy is the view on large-cap altcoins. Where 38% of surveyed institutions believe altcoins will be the best performers in the next 3-6 months, only 29% of independent investors share this view. 

Tom Lee (@fundstrat) says the DAT bubble might have already burst.

Over 200 DATs exist, but only Strategy and Bitmine account for 86% of trading volume. Most are trading below net asset value.

But he made a point that everyone's missing.

— Luca (@lucainweb3) October 17, 2025

Independents are more bullish on DATs with 14% vs. 8% of institutions. Notably, the share of institutional respondents who believe Bitcoin will be the worst-performing asset matches the share that believes DATs will be the best-performing (8% each), though the report does not indicate whether these were the same respondents.

15% of independent investors see Bitcoin as the potentially worst-performing crypto asset for the remainder of 2025. 60% of institutions see small-cap altcoins as the worst asset, while only 42% of independent investors share the same stance.

Both categories cite a worsening macro environment as the biggest risk (institutions 38%, independents 29%). Geopolitical risks, hacks, and regulatory failures alarm both groups equally. Institutions appear less concerned than independents about liquidity drops and potential DAT failures.

Shared beliefs
Both groups generally believe that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval for single-name spot crypto ETFs will serve as a market driver. Independents are somewhat more optimistic about the positive impact of ETF approvals. Only 13–14% of respondents in both groups expect no impact from SEC approvals.

The survey indicates that both groups see reserve token burning and development spending as the two main priorities for crypto companies with sizable token treasuries.

Both independents and institutions called DATs “the most traded trade in crypto” right now (though technically, DAT stocks are not crypto). Independents see Bitcoin as equally “crowded,” while institutions view Solana as second to DATs.

An Emerging Trends section
The second half of the report is the review of new market trends and the Bitcoin and Ethereum trends study. This former section clearly shows that the summer of 2025 saw a drastic increase in DATs holding ETH and SOL. Before, Bitcoin-holding companies were sole rulers.

As for the market dominance, researchers outlined a 7% Bitcoin dominance decrease in Q3 (before hiking in September), while ETH dominance grew by 4%. The data on Bitcoin and ETH spot ETFs growth reflects the ETH ETFs’ horizontal growth from July to September 2025. Lately, its growth has been more shaky. Bitcoin ETF growth has been more gradual and steady. 

https://twitter.com/CoinbaseInsto/status/1980309750652006883

In August, ETH ETF inflows outperformed Bitcoin ETF inflows by 10x, triggering debate about whether ETH has the potential to flip Bitcoin.

The 4-year cycle graphs for Bitcoin and Ether show that the current cycle (it started in 2022) is different. It lacks immense rallies and rather presents gradual buildups and declines. This cycle, Ether notably lacked the rallies it had in previous cycles. Instead, it had a long-term decline.

Bitcoin and Ethereum trends
As for Bitcoin trends, the latest months showed that even when Bitcoin price was reaching new highs, long-term investors preferred not to cash out. It marked a new trend. The sentiment gradually moved from belief to anxiety in the first half of 2025 and then flipped back in Q3. 

The Ethereum trends section emphasizes that for the first time, Ether ETF inflows ($9.4 billion) exceeded BTC ETF inflows ($8 billion). According to the report, the liquid and illiquid ETH holdings correlation in Q3 indicates that many long-term ETH investors preferred to cash out as soon as ETH saw a rally. ETH and other L2 blockchains saw a record-breaking volume of transactions while the fees were the lowest in 2 years.

Bitcoin Bull Scaramucci Rejects 'Debasement Trade' Narrative cryptonews
BTC
During a recent appearance on CNBC, American investor Anthony Scaramucci poured cold water on the "debasement trade" narrative, setting himself apart from the broader cryptocurrency community. 

Why gold is rallying higher The "debasement trade" has been the key narrative over the past few months. Billionaire Ken Griffin recently opined that it was the reason why gold was surging to record highs. 

The core idea behind the debasement trade is that the US dollar is losing its luster due to concerns about inflation. Hence, investors are flocking to safe-haven assets like gold.

However, Scaramucci believes that the yellow metal is actually rallying due to uncertainty surrounding trade. 

"Gold is up because of the uncertainty around trade… gold was quiet in times that seemed much more turbulent than we're in right now," he told CNBC. 

US dollar's strength Even though Bitcoiners are generally convinced that the US dollar's days are numbered, Scaramucci does not share this sentiment. In fact, he is convinced that the dollar will remain the reserve currency for the next 50 years. 

"It's going to be nearly impossible to knock it off its ledge," he said. 

In fact, he believes that the proliferation of stablecoins will actually strengthen the dominance of the US dollar, echoing the talking points of the likes of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Market Expert Reveals Why The XRP Price Is Still Crashing Amid Good News Surrounding Ripple cryptonews
XRP
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Despite the influx of positive developments surrounding Ripple’s legal victories, partnerships, and market integration, the XRP price continues to crash. This disconnect between sentiment and performance has raised uncertainty, prompting questions about why optimism surrounding the Ripple ecosystem has not translated into an upward momentum for XRP. 

XRP Price Declines Despite Positive Ripple News 
Dom Kwok, the Founder of the Web3 learning platform EasyA, has addressed a prevailing issue plaguing the crypto community for months now. In a post on X social media, he asked, “If there’s so much good news, why is the price dropping?” Kwok answered that the decline in the market has less to do with project fundamentals and more to do with global market conditions. 

Just like Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, the XRP price is down, falling by more than 18% over the last month, according to CoinMarketCap. Kwok noted that whenever uncertainty dominates global markets, whether due to trade, war, tariffs, or geopolitical tensions, investors tend to pull out of risk assets like cryptocurrencies and growth stocks. They then move the capital into traditional safe-haven assets such as gold or cash to shield themselves from volatility. 

During this time, investors reportedly wait for market conditions to stabilize and become more predictable before reentering risky positions. Based on Kwok’s perspective, this kind of market retreat does not signal weakness in XRP’s fundamentals. Instead, it reflects investor caution while the broader environment remains unpredictable. 

Currently, Ripple continues to strengthen its position as a leading crypto payments company, benefiting from increasing regulatory clarity, expanding global partnerships, and advancing more cross-border payment solutions. However, these developments have done little to influence the XRP price positively. Any good news surrounding Ripple’s progress is being overshadowed by short-term fear and uncertainty, especially after the recent flash crash that saw XRP plunge 50% before rebounding. 

Kwok has advised investors to reassess their conviction in crypto’s long-term potential and the improvement of regulatory and fundamental environments in the DeFi space. He suggested that those who remain confident in both could view the current market price levels as a buying opportunity rather than a sign of failure. 

Analysts Remain Optimistic About A Price Surge
While market sentiment remains cautious, technical analysis from crypto market expert ChartNerd on X paints a very bullish outlook for the XRP price. His analysis, based on a 6-month candlestick chart, shows a pattern of symmetrical consolidation that historically precedes explosive price rallies. 

Source: Chart from ChartNerd on X
ChartNerd argued that XRP’s macro structure is showing signs of strength, with no signs of a bearish trend flip in sight. His chart suggests that the altcoin’s price action is currently mirroring that seen during the 2017-2018 bull cycle. Fibonacci extension analysis projects potential upside targets of $5 in the next bullish impulse, followed by $8 to $13, and ultimately the $27 level corresponding to the 1.618 extension.

Dogecoin Comeback Trail: RSI Breakout And Price Action Hint At A $0.21–$0.25 Surge cryptonews
DOGE
Dogecoin is regaining its spark as technical indicators flash signs of renewed bullish momentum. Following a prolonged consolidation and a notable correction to $0.095, the popular meme coin is now showing encouraging signs of recovery. A quiet yet steady breakout in its price structure, supported by an RSI breakout from an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, points toward strengthening market sentiment.

Dogecoin’s Price Action Aligns With RSI Breakout Targets
Trader Tardigrade, in his recent analysis of Dogecoin’s 4-hour chart posted on X, emphasized that the popular meme coin is maintaining a solid uptrend after a quiet but meaningful breakout. The move reflects growing bullish strength in the market as DOGE continues to trade above key support levels, signaling renewed interest from buyers after a period of consolidation. 

He further explained that the RSI indicator is displaying an inverse head and shoulders breakout pattern, a technical signal that often precedes a strong bullish continuation. The development suggests that momentum is building in favor of the bulls, with the RSI likely to climb toward the overbought zone if buying pressure persists. 

Source: Chart from Trader Tardigrade on X
According to Tardigrade, if the current uptrend remains intact and the price continues to hold above key short-term supports, Dogecoin could advance toward its previous high near $0.21. Breaking above that level would not only validate the bullish structure but also potentially trigger a stronger rally, as it would confirm a shift in market sentiment toward sustained upside momentum.

DOGE Shows Early Signs Of Rebound After Deep Correction
Crypto analyst BitGuru revealed in a recent post on X that Dogecoin (DOGE) is finally showing the early signs of a potential rebound. This follows a prolonged period defined by a lengthy consolidation phase and a deep correction that pushed the price down to the $0.095 level. Such resilience, appearing after such an extended pullback, suggests that the market may finally be ready to stabilize.

The analyst provided a clear technical trigger that would confirm a definitive shift in the short-term market momentum. For the momentum to truly take hold and build into a sustainable rally, the price must successfully sustain above the key $0.20 level. This acts as the necessary floor that buyers must establish and defend.

If DOGE is able to achieve a confirmed hold above $0.20, the technical outlook suggests a clear path higher. Momentum would then be expected to build rapidly toward the next major resistance target, identified as the $0.25 zone, signaling a significant short-term bullish shift for the meme coin.

Bitcoin Market Flips Bullish: Do the Charts Align With Sentiment? cryptonews
BTC
In brief
Bitcoin odds on the prediction market Myriad have flipped from 75% bearish (expecting $100K) to 52% bullish (expecting $120K) in just three days.
Technical indicators show mixed signals on varying timeframes.
October—historically Bitcoin's strongest month—is shaping up to be the worst since 2020.
Bitcoin is taking prediction market traders on a wild ride.

Just three days ago, users on Myriad—a prediction market built by Decrypt's parent company Dastan—placed odds at 75% that Bitcoin would sooner touch $100,000 than $120,000. But today, sentiment flipped once again, with 52% now expecting BTC to reach $120,000 first.

With Bitcoin now trading around $110,000 and aggregated sentiment pulling a U-turn, should BTC traders trust the crowd? Here’s what the charts are showing:

Bitcoin price data. Image: TradingviewBitcoin is currently up 1.75% over the last 24 hours after touching lows near $107,452. The broader crypto market has clawed back from what's become the worst October performance since 2019. So far, the market is defying historical monthly expectations: Traders got a surprising “Uptember” and now a deflating “Red October.”

Meanwhile, the Fear & Greed Index sits at 29—firmly in "fear" territory—while U.S. Bitcoin ETFs saw $366 million in outflows on Friday. Yet institutional interest hasn't evaporated: Futures open interest remains above $150 billion per Coinglass, and analysts suggest demand has been quietly building.

So who's right—newly bullish prediction market sentiment or the bearish market vibes?

Bitcoin daily chart: Bears still have the wheelOn the one-day timeframe, Bitcoin's technical picture leans bearish. The Relative Strength Index, or RSI, sits at 44.15—below the neutral 50 line and showing "strong" selling action. RSI measures momentum on a scale of 0 to 100, with readings below 50 suggesting sellers have more control than buyers. At 44, we're not in oversold panic territory yet (that's below 30), but this reading shows bears are applying consistent pressure.

Bitcoin price data. Image: TradingviewThe Average Directional Index, or ADX, reads 27 with a "weak" status. ADX measures the strength of a trend regardless of direction—readings above 25 typically indicate a trend is forming, but it's not strong yet. While 25 is a good starting line, this comes just after a sizable correction. Traders would ideally like to see ADX above 30 or for high-conviction moves. That’s why the "weak" label suggests the current downtrend could reverse or stall out.

Exponential moving averages, or EMAs, are the next place traders would generally look, since they provide a view of price supports and resistances over the short, medium, and longer timeframe. The 50-day EMA (average price of the last 50 days) sits above the 200-day EMA, generating a long signal. This crossover is typically bullish and suggests the longer-term trend remains upward. However, Bitcoin is currently trading below the fast-moving average, which is not ideal. Traders would find comfort in knowing that prices have at least gone back above the 200-day EMA, canceling fears of a long-term bear trend.

But this creates overhead resistance that bulls need to reclaim to shift momentum.

The Ichimoku Cloud is also telling traders that both current and anticipated support structures have failed. Bulls need to reclaim the cloud (likely around $114,000-$116,000) to invalidate this bearish setup.

Bitcoin four-hour chart: A glimmer of hope for bullsZoom into the four-hour timeframe and the picture brightens—slightly. Here, the RSI has climbed to 57.6 with "strong" upward action, suggesting short-term buying pressure is building. Readings above 50 show bulls regaining some control, and at 57, there's room to run before hitting overbought territory around 70.

Bitcoin price data. Image: TradingviewBut the Squeeze Momentum Indicator has fired up a bullish impulse signal on the four-hour chart, and this may be enough hopium to make some bulls breathe. This suggests that while short-term momentum favors bulls, they can expect gains at least in the immediate term. Traders caught in this crossfire need to watch which signal plays out.

The fact that RSI is climbing and Squeeze is bullish suggests a price jump could materialize even if it doesn't change the broader trend.

Moon or doom?Here's the uncomfortable truth: the technicals are genuinely split, which explains why prediction market odds have become so fluid. The daily chart's bearish setup (RSI 44, Bearish Squeeze, below cloud) argues that $100,000 remains the more likely near-term destination. But the four-hour chart's bullish divergence (RSI 57, Bullish Squeeze) and the longer-term EMA50 above EMA200 suggest any dip toward $100K could be a bear trap before the real move higher.

If forced to pick based purely on the weight of evidence today, the slight edge goes to continued consolidation or a retest of lower supports before any serious $120K attempt. The ADX readings show there’s no strong trend yet and this type of scenario requires conviction moves that aren't present in current momentum indicators.

The prediction market's flip from 75% “doom” to 52% “moon” likely reflects short-term oversold conditions and the fact that Bitcoin has bounced from the $107K-$108K zone. But that doesn't mean $120K is a high-probability outcome—it might just mean traders think $100K is now less likely than it seemed three days ago.

For those holding Bitcoin, the key is likely patience and defined risk management. Don't let shifting sentiment or short-term chart timeframes fool you into overleveraged positions. The market is telling us it hasn't decided yet—and when Bitcoin itself is uncertain, traders should be too.
