Market Signal Briefing

Morgan Stanley has released its October Global Investment Committee report, recommending that clients allocate 2% to 4% of their portfolios to cryptocurrency. The bank framed this as an appropriate level of exposure given the asset class’s volatility and unique market dynamics.

The report described crypto as speculative but increasingly mainstream, showing Bitcoin as a type of “digital gold.” It placed Bitcoin in the broader category of real assets, reflecting its growing role in investment strategies while keeping the focus on balanced portfolio allocation.

Description Wealth Conservation Income Balanche Growth Market Growth Opportunity GrowthRisk profile 12345Max crypto allocation0%0%2%3%4%The report also advised investors to review and rebalance their portfolios at least once a year. This prevents crypto holdings from growing beyond their intended share, which could raise overall risk.

According to the bank, cryptocurrency has a role in modern investment strategies, but allocations should remain controlled. The goal, it noted, is to give investors measured exposure to emerging technology rather than unchecked risk.

The report said, “While the GIC allocation models will not include explicit allocations to cryptocurrency, we aim to support our financial advisors and clients, who may flexibly allocate to cryptocurrency as part of their multi-asset portfolios.”

Replying to this, Bitwise Asset Management CEO Hunter Horsley said, “This is huge.” Thanking the growing role of crypto in professional portfolio management, Horsley added, “We’re entering the mainstream era.” 

How To Rebalance a Portfolio? Caleb & Brown, an Australia-based crypto brokerage, says that a well-balanced crypto portfolio can significantly reduce risk factors. It recommends users to do their own research before investing and use assets with a payment solution. like Bitcoin, XRP, and stablecoins. It also advised the investors to ‘never invest more than they can afford.’

In a blog post, the brokerage said, “There is no one-size-fits-all approach to building a portfolio, and each strategy comes with different trade-offs for different types of traders or investors, depending on their goals, risk appetite, and profile. Essentially, your ability to accept potential losses or large fluctuations in unrealised gains or losses could provide higher returns in the long term.”

Gold hit an all-time high of $4,000 per ounce as traders reacted to the U.S. shutdown and possible Fed rate cuts.

Bitcoin attained a new all-time high on Sunday, hitting $125,770 on Coinbase. Over the course of the previous week, the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted one of the biggest weekly inflows of 27.78K BTC. Is the stage now set for a huge multi-month surge to the cycle highs? 

U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs pull in large weekly inflowLast week was a green week as far as the U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs were concerned. Money poured in all week to buy Bitcoin, and this reached a crescendo on Friday as 8.18K BTC were purchased in one day, attributing to a total inflow for the week of 27.78K BTC.

Long term holders finished selling?The only large fly in the ointment now is whether long term holders have finally finished cashing in their chips. According to on-chain data from Glassnode and Cryptoquant, a conservative estimate of the total of long term holder selling since July is from 350,000 to 400,000 BTC. 

Are $BTC buyers exhausted yet?

While a new all-time high was made on Sunday, it does look like some kind of a reversal may be starting to take shape. After leaving a couple of decent sized candle wicks to the upside on the 4-hour chart, the price is showing signs that it might be about to roll over. This can be seen in the price action and the two indicators at the bottom of the chart, especially the RSI, which shows its indicator coming down from a very overbought condition. As this indicator continues to fall, look for support to be found at the 50.00 level. 

In the price action, a flag might now start to form. This would be a very healthy pattern that would provide more time for the shorter term Stochastic RSIs to reset to the bottom, ready for the next upward leg.

Of course, as it has been doing up to now after its breakout, the $BTC price could just continue to climb. Bullish sentiment has returned to Bitcoin and dips for buying have become ever shallower.

Channel breakout move to $129,500?

Source: TradingView

The $BTC price continues to trade at the level of the previous all-time high. Underneath the price, an initial band of support stretches from $120,000 down to $117,000. While the price may certainly come down to test these, it still has not reached the measured move of the descending channel breakout, which would take the price to $129,500 should it play out. 

At the bottom of the chart, the RSI has its indicator approaching a nearly year-long descending trendline. It will need to break through this trendline and reach the 85.00 level in order to cancel out bearish divergence.

Big move coming

Source: TradingView

The 2-week chart shows the supports that are now becoming a solid base under the $BTC price. $117,000 is now easily the next most critical support on the way down. If this can be tested as support at the end of this week, an entry into price discovery should follow.

The RSI indicator is now right up against the descending trendline that stretches from Q1 2024. A breakthrough and confirmation above would be a very bullish signal, while it can be seen in the Stochastic RSI that the indicator lines have crossed back up. The scene is set for a big move going into the end of this year.

The market capitalization of the digital asset sector stands at approximately $4.34 trillion.

The cryptocurrency market lost some steam after reaching its peak level towards the end of last week, with Bitcoin (BTC) retracing under $124,000.

Some of the leading altcoins, however, continue to march forward. Binance Coin (BNB), for instance, tapped a new all-time high price above $1,200.

BTC Takes a Step Back
The primary cryptocurrency made the headlines yesterday (October 5) when its price hit a new historic peak at approximately $125,500. However, the bulls could not hold that level for long, and the valuation retraced to as low as $122,500 shortly after.

In the following hours, there was another resurgence, which pushed BTC above $124,000. As of this writing, the asset trades at around $123,700, representing a 0.8% decline on a daily scale.

BTC Price, Source: CoinGecko
Meanwhile, the solid interest in spot BTC ETFs and the declining amount of coins held on crypto exchanges suggest this could be a temporary pullback that may be followed by another rally during “Uptober.”

Bitcoin’s market capitalization, which soared to a new peak of $2.5 trillion on October 5, is currently standing at roughly $2.46 trillion. Its dominance over the altcoins remains relatively unchanged at around 55.3%.

BNB Sets a New Record
Some well-known altcoins, such as Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA), have followed BTC’s footsteps, registering slight decreases.

On the other hand, Binance Coin (BNB) defied the pullback and soared to a fresh all-time high of $1,220. The asset is up 20% on a weekly scale, while numerous analysts believe there is much more room for growth during this cycle.

Other popular cryptocurrencies posting some gains today include Mantle (MNT), ZCash (ZEC), and OKB (OKB).  The total market capitalization of the sector has slipped by o.5% over the last 24 hours and stands at around $4.33 trillion.

Bill Morgan has highlighted the yearly growth of XRP price.
Ripple token was trading at $0.5335 on October 07, 2024.
It was seen at $2.96 while drafting the article.

Bill Morgan recently responded to a community member, highlighting the yearly growth in the XRP price. The Ripple token surged significantly over the past 7 days. It is likely to regain a new high this year if rate cuts and ETF approvals fall in place. A wallet just transferred over 18 million XRP to Ripple.

Bill Morgan Backs XRP Price Rise
Bill Morgan, a notable crypto advocate, responded to a community member who earlier said that two things would not be seen again. The member stated that it would be Satoshi Nakamoto and the XRP Ledger first 32,569 blocks. Bill responded to this by saying that there were rather three things, adding that XRP would not be seen at $0.60.

Bill Morgan further highlighted that XRP price has come a long way over the past year. The Ripple token was $0.5335 on October 07, 2024. It is now way beyond the margin of $2. Bill underlined that last year’s mark was a missed chance to stack a bag.

This is not the first time Bill has backed the yearly growth of the Ripple token. He earlier called out a community member by saying that they missed the token when it was under $0.60. Further stating that the token could pump to over $3.50 after 12 months.

Factors for XRP Price
There are two factors that could possibly affect XRP price in addition to XRP gaining institutional adoption. One is a rate cut, and another is ETF approval. The US Federal Reserve is expected to cut lending rate by 25 bps again in October. This would be the second time this year the Fed slashes the rate, and possibly a contributing factor in triggering a surge in the price. The US Fed is expected to make a total of three cuts this year, with the third and final cut likely to happen before year-end.

Bill Morgan previously mentioned that XRP ETF approval was on its way. It could be delayed following the Government shutdown. Nevertheless, the Ripple community is optimistic that the ETF approval will eventually happen and boost XRP price to a new ATH. The current all-time high value for the Ripple token is $3.84, which was recorded on January 04, 2018.

Ripple Token Wallet Transfer
According to a report by Whale Alert, a total of 18,744,800 Ripple tokens were transferred from a wallet to Ripple. They were collectively worth approximately $55.86 million at the time of the transaction.

The transfer has triggered anticipation for a sell-off as the token has lost almost 2.96% of its value in the last 24 hours. XRP price is currently listed at $2.96, and it is estimated to hover around the same value for the next 30 days amid the volatility of 0.74%.

Binance lists Aster for new spot trading pairs on October 6, 2025.Community anticipates increased liquidity in Decentralized Finance.Market closely watches Aster post-announcement price movements.
Binance is set to launch Aster trading pairs at 12:00 UTC on October 6, 2025, following an official announcement, with new pairs including ASTER/USDT, ASTER/USDC, and ASTER/TRY.

This listing has sparked notable market and community activity, with early deposit promotions and speculation over Aster’s role in decentralized finance growing significantly.

Binance Adds Aster with Incentives and Trading Impacts
Binance’s announcement to introduce Aster spot trading pairs follows a period of heightened market activity and speculation. The exchange also initiated a deposit promotion, promising 9,990 USDC in rewards for the first 666 verified depositors of ASTER. The move highlights Binance’s commitment to expanding its decentralized finance offerings and diversifying its trading options.

The launch is prompting immediate changes in market dynamics, as traders and investors look to capitalize on the new offerings. Speculators have anticipated this development, leading to recent fluctuations in ASTER’s price. The listing follows previous rumors and speculations fueled by indirect activities and endorsements from Binance’s co-founder, Changpeng Zhao.

Market reactions have varied, with analysts observing both upsides and volatility in ASTER’s valuation. Changpeng Zhao’s prior admiration for Aster’s innovative liquidity architecture has spurred significant interest. Community forums and discussions indicate excitement and caution as the market assesses the implications for liquidity and trading volumes.

Aster’s Potential Market Influence and Historical Insights
Did you know? Aster’s perpetual trading volume matched Binance’s records last September, questioning on-chain data integrity and leading to scrutiny over its decentralized listing practice.

Aster, currently priced at $1.95 with a market cap of formatNumber(3238690236, 2), has experienced a 5.77% drop in 24-hour pricing, as reported by CoinMarketCap. The token’s circulating supply stands at formatNumber(1657700000, 2) ASTER, with a fully diluted market cap of formatNumber(15629801463, 2). However, the seven-day performance remains slightly positive, reflecting a 1.29% increase. Higher trading volumes, up by 21.99%, show escalated market interest. The token’s recent decline follows its historic 30-day price surge of over 2215.19%.

Coincu’s research team anticipates Aster’s listing on Binance will facilitate greater liquidity flow than previous digital listings. This launch may trigger further technological integration and governance development in decentralized trading protocols, analysts report. Despite Aster’s market volatility, its introduction on such a prominent exchange could enhance visibility and attract wider institutional participation.

Crypto markets may be distracted by the U.S. government shutdown in the coming week. With key data from the world's largest economy not being published, traders may find difficulty in identifying big-picture catalysts for their positions.

Michael Saylor stated that Strategy did not purchase new Bitcoin this week.

Litecoin price today is sitting at $120.43, while reflecting a modest 0.42% dip since yesterday. But it is still holding a healthy 13.77% gain on the weekly chart. Talking about which, over the past 7 days, we saw Litecoin gather strength, only to face resistance at $123.99. Despite a solid market cap of $9.2B and an impressive recent rally, momentum has cooled down. This is as technical and fundamental headwinds weigh on LTC’s price action.

Why Litecoin Stumbled?Within crypto circles, top traders and influencers highlight the main force behind Litecoin’s recent volatility to be regulatory uncertainty. The widely anticipated SEC ruling on Canary Capital’s spot Litecoin ETF was abruptly delayed. This setback removed a major bullish catalyst, with many analysts having placed a 90% probability on ETF approval. 

The delay spooked traders who expected a rapid catalyst-driven rally. Further, this resulted in unwinding of positions and an accelerated downturn. Especially as algorithmic traders kicked in upon the loss of the 61.8% Fibonacci support around $109.67.

LTC Price Analysis:Litecoin’s failure to break above $123.99 and subsequent drop beneath $121 introduced a short-term bearish structure. The daily RSI has declined to 60.3 after reaching overbought conditions. Current LTC price action shows it gravitating around the $121 pivot zone. The bulls must reclaim and hold this area to neutralize the bears and reignite upside momentum.

That being said, the key supports remain at $110.06 and $103.02. This is with the volume thinning out as traders wait for ETF news. Consequently, LTC’s 24-hour trading volume dipped over 4%, suggesting not just risk-off sentiment, but a broad rotation into Bitcoin as it nears historic highs.

FAQsWhy did the Litecoin price drop after hitting $123.99?

Litecoin faced rejection at $123.99 due to technical resistance and profit-taking, exacerbated by a delayed SEC decision on a key spot ETF product.

What levels should traders watch for a breakout or breakdown?

Traders should monitor $121 for bullish confirmation. Key downside supports are $110.06 and $103.02.

How is Bitcoin’s strength impacting Litecoin?

As Bitcoin’s market dominance climbs near all-time highs, investor attention and liquidity shift away from altcoins like Litecoin, creating additional selling pressure and muted upside.

$55,868,599 XRP flow raises questions as funds shift to Ripple amid $3 XRP price drama

This morning, data from Whale Alert showed that 18,744,800 XRP, worth around $55.9 million, were transferred from an unidentified wallet to one of Ripple’s main accounts. The unknown source and direct route to the crypto company of course caught the attention of traders who monitor these flows for insights into how Ripple manages its XRP holdings.

Those who closely follow these movements, such as "XRPwallets" account" say the process is familiar. Ripple brings tokens back into its main account before redistributing them into different channels, such as On-Demand Liquidity corridors, exchange-traded products, custodial structures and investment vehicles. 

While this makes the transfer less mysterious, the lack of context around the timing leaves room for speculation in the market.

Here's how XRP price reactedAs for the trading side, XRP is currently at around $2.99. Support is at $2.93, and resistance is at $3.05. The daily chart shows the price staying within this narrow range, but the hourly charts show quick drops toward $2.95 that are matched by quick rebounds. 

HOT Stories

For traders, it is pretty simple: if it breaks above $3.05, it could go toward $3.20, but if it weakens back below $2.90, it will probably test the lower range again.

XRP/USD by TradingViewIt not not the most Ripple has done, but the context makes it a big deal. The market is taking more of an interest in how Ripple handles its reserves, on top of the growing interest from institutions and the new talks about possible privacy features in the XRP Ledger. 

In that case, a $55 million transfer is less of a regular adjustment.

The indicator shows that BNB is seeing strong momentum from market participants, but it’s still not overbought at this point.

If the RSI moves above the 80 mark, it would indicate overbought conditions, triggering profit-taking and high price volatility for BNB.

Moreover, Bitcoin’s new ATH of $125,559 on Oct. 5 boosted the FOMO around a bullish October, often called “Uptober” among the crypto community. Coinspeaker reported that there are expectations of $150,000 for the BTC price due to the strong momentum.

Bitcoin recorded an average monthly return of 20.8% over the past 12 Octobers, according to data from CoinGlass. If the leading cryptocurrency rises further, there’s a good chance that the top altcoins, like BNB, will follow.

Bitcoin’s recent pullback from its record highs has sparked debate, but analysts suggest the bull run is far from over. After surging past $125,000 over the weekend, Bitcoin (BTC) reflected optimism around easier monetary and fiscal policies amid the ongoing U.S. government shutdown. Traders appear to be pricing in global easing expectations, including Japan’s potential return to Abenomics-style stimulus under its new prime minister.

Despite a modest dip of around 1% in the past 24 hours, Bitcoin remains supported by strong spot demand and ETF inflows rather than leveraged speculation. Sunday’s rally occurred during typically thin liquidity, and with just $65 million in BTC futures liquidations, it points to genuine buying rather than a short squeeze. However, some traders quickly booked profits, contributing to the mild correction seen on Monday.

The total crypto market capitalization now stands around $4.07 trillion, with the Fear and Greed Index at 64—an elevated yet not euphoric level—indicating room for further gains. Altcoins such as Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), XRP, and Tron (TRX) saw minor losses, while Ethereum (ETH) dropped slightly by 0.5%. BNB remains the standout, up over 17% weekly at $1,184, signaling continued sector rotation within crypto ecosystems.

A key bullish driver is the record $45 billion increase in stablecoin supply last quarter, two-thirds of which originated from Ethereum. This “dry powder” reflects growing investor readiness to deploy capital, reinforcing market strength. Combined with a government shutdown that may slow economic data releases and prompt central bank caution, macro conditions continue to favor risk assets like Bitcoin.

Analysts are watching the $125,000 level closely. A sharp approach followed by rejection could indicate supply dominance, while a steady grind higher may confirm renewed momentum. As institutional flows build and ETF demand stabilizes, Bitcoin’s path toward new highs remains open—marking this as a potential continuation phase rather than the end of the bull market.

Dogecoin is compressing beneath a dense band of weekly resistance that could unlock a powerful upside continuation once cleared, according to crypto analyst The Great Mattsby (@matthughes13).

In his October 5 video, Mattsby frames the 0.618 retracement from the 2021 peak to the 2022 cycle low—marked at $0.26261—as the immediate trigger that “price is still getting rejected at,” adding: “That’s the area of interest to maybe try to close above.” Screenshots of his weekly DOGE/USDT chart show price hovering around $0.248–$0.249 at the time of recording, with a session high near $0.265 and low near $0.226, underscoring how repeatedly the market has tested the band without securing a decisive close.

Dogecoin Coils Beneath Massive Resistance
Mattsby argues the difficulty stems from confluence rather than a single line. “A big pile of resistance right here in the 24 to 26-cent zone,” he said, pointing to the lower edge of the Ichimoku Cloud and the conversion line stacked atop the 0.618. His chart annotates the Ichimoku Conversion Line at ~$0.2512, with clustered simple moving averages just beneath and around it—~$0.2464 and ~$0.2453—creating a narrow corridor where rallies stall and pullbacks find immediate bids.

Dogecoin price analysis | Source: X @matthughes13
He also flags the cloud ceiling as the last gate before momentum expansion; while he verbally referenced “around 28 cents,” the screenshotted weekly readout places Ichimoku Leading Span B near ~$0.2937, effectively defining a resistance shelf running from roughly $0.26 up to the high-$0.28s–$0.29s.

Despite the stall, Mattsby is clear that the structure has turned constructive. “It was a beautiful breakout back test of this orange arc… and ever since that bottom in April, it’s higher highs, higher low, higher high, higher low. So, it is the market structure that is required to break out.”

He expects more time within the range but anticipates an impulsive resolution once the lid gives way: “One of these weeks we might be able to see like a bullish engulfing candle just breaking through multiple levels and just continuing higher.” In his words, “Not ready to break free just yet, but the setup is there… a little bit more patience, but it’s setting up perfectly to go higher.”

The screenshots anchor both the upside roadmap and the invalidation rungs. Overhead, the Fibonacci stack above the 0.618 pins subsequent hurdles at the 0.702 (~$0.3298), 0.786 (~$0.4142), 0.886 (~$0.5432) levels as well as the all-time high at 0.73995—zones that historically attract profit-taking and trend acceleration when reclaimed in strong cycles.

Below, the weekly Ichimoku scaffolding outlines support stair-steps at Leading Span A (~$0.2348) and the Base Line (~$0.2184), aligning with Mattsby’s preferred “accumulation” pocket. “I love this 24-cent zone, maybe even down to the 22-cent zone. That area of support looks beautiful for accumulation until it’s ready to break free,” he said. Deeper, the mid-cycle retracement marks line up at 0.500 (~$0.1907), 0.382 (~$0.1385) and 0.236 (~$0.0932).

Mattsby also reiterates the role of the weekly 50-period moving average as an active barrier within the same band, emphasizing that DOGE is “still battling that as a potential resistance trying to flip it all to support.” The proximity of the 50-week to the conversion line and the 0.618 fib is part of what makes the cluster decisive: a weekly close through $0.26261 that also recaptures the conversion line and neutralizes the cloud’s lower boundary would simultaneously flip multiple filters—momentum, trend, and mean—into alignment.

The bottom line of his roadmap is unambiguous. The market is coiling directly beneath the $0.26 trigger while building a rising base above $0.22–$0.24. The analyst’s expectation is for continued high-level consolidation until an outsized candle resolves the stalemate. “It’s almost ready—just not yet,” he concluded. “It’s not if, it is when… once that barrier breaks, the true excitement can begin.”

At press time, DOGE traded at $0.25671.

1. Ethereum (ETH)At the start of October, Messari reported that institutional investors (DATs) now hold a larger percentage of the ETH supply than BTC. This confirms that the accumulation demand for ETH remains strong.

“Growing ETF flows, ETH staking ETF approvals, and expanding global liquidity are prime catalysts for ETH’s next leg up in its step function,” Rick, Analyst at Messari, predicted.

Short-term traders have become more confident in their long positions, expecting ETH to reach new highs this month. This explains why the total liquidation volume for long positions has recently exceeded that of shorts.

ETH Exchange Liquidation Map. Source: Coinglass.According to Coinglass, if ETH drops to $4,030 this week, over $9 billion in long positions could be liquidated. Conversely, if ETH climbs above $5,000, about $2 billion in short positions may be wiped out.

However, there are warning signs that long traders may be ignoring:

First, about 97% of all ETH addresses are currently in profit. Historically, when this ratio exceeds 95%, it often signals a potential market top as investors begin taking profits.
Second, on-chain data shows that some long-term ETH whales have started selling. On October 5, Trend Research deposited 77,491 ETH (worth $354.5 million) into Binance for sale. Lookonchain also reported another ETH whale becoming active after four years to move coins onto exchanges.

If selling pressure continues to build this week, mass liquidations of long positions could follow.

2. XRPIn October, the SEC will review multiple XRP ETF applications from major financial institutions, such as Franklin Templeton, Hashdex, Grayscale, ProShare, and Bitwise.

“Some of the biggest names in the industry are involved, with fund sizes ranging from $200M to $1.5T. If even one of these gets approved, it could bring a huge wave of institutional money into XRP,” Analyst Crypto King predicted.

This optimism has driven traders to bet heavily on a bullish continuation for XRP. The liquidation heatmap shows a clear imbalance, with long positions dominating.

However, several warning signs have surfaced for long traders of XRP:

The XRP balance on exchanges has risen sharply at the start of October, with about 320 million XRP being deposited.
XRP whales have been selling aggressively, bringing their holdings down to the lowest level in nearly three years.
These are strong signs of profit-taking activity, posing significant liquidation risks for overleveraged long positions.

3. Binance Coin (BNB)BNB has continued setting new highs in October, trading above $1,200. Traders appear to be caught in a FOMO rally, piling into bullish positions for short-term gains.

The 7-day liquidation map indicates that if BNB drops to $1,034, total long liquidations could exceed $300 million. Conversely, if it climbs to $1,340, short liquidations would total around $80 million.

Iran approved a monetary overhaul Sunday to remove four zeros from the nation’s currency following years of high inflation.

Iranian Rial Undergoes RedenominationThe Iranian Parliament sanctioned a monetary reform that will phase out four zeros from the country’s national currency, the Iranian Rial, over the next few years, according to a Reuters report. Under the plan, 10,000 rials will be replaced by one new rial.

The bill has been under consideration for several years. Inflation rates exceeding 35% annually have significantly devalued Iran’s currency, causing the exchange rate to plummet sharply against the dollar on the free market, Reuters said, citing data from currency tracker bonbast.com.

While redenomination creates a new currency with a smaller monetary scale, the purchasing power of the currency remains unchanged.

A Tale Of Soaring InflationSeveral countries facing high inflation have previously chosen to eliminate zeros from their national currencies, with Venezuela doing so in 2021, the second time in three years, Reuters reported earlier. Similarly, Turkey removed six zeros from the Turkish Lira in 2005.

Is Bitcoin The Answer?Some vocal Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) advocates project the apex cryptocurrency as an ideal choice in countries experiencing high inflation due to its perceived narrative as an inflation-resistant store of value.

Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz advocated for Bitcoin as a potential solution to Nigeria's economic woes when the country’s inflation hit record levels last year.

Similarly, Bitcoin purist Max Keiser said in 2019 that Turks could turn to Bitcoin as a hedge to escape the collapsing Lira.

An analysis of the past decade shows Bitcoin surged in value against the U.S. dollar, while the national currencies of Iran, Venezuela and Turkey have sharply depreciated.

China and India’s central banks have added gold to their reserves.  Other emerging market central banks have also been buyers of gold, not Bitcoin.

Moreover, President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariff announcement in April sent Bitcoin tumbling below $75,000, while the yellow metal rallied during this period.

The Bitcoin supply on crypto exchanges has plummeted to around 2.8 million BTC, levels previously only seen in July 2019. This drop in supply follows the token’s recent ATH at $125,506.

Summary

Bitcoin exchange balances hit a six-year low at just 2.8 million BTC, reflecting growing self-custody trends and rising institutional accumulation.
BTC price momentum remains strong after reaching a new all-time high of $125,506, with technical signs suggesting consolidation above $122,000.

The amount of Bitcoin stored on trading platforms like Binance, Bitget, Coinbase and others has dropped significantly after the token reached a new all-time high just a day prior. According to data from on-chain analysis platform Glassnode, the total amount of BTC held on exchange addresses currently stands at just over 2.8 million BTC.

The last time the Bitcoin (BTC) supply on exchanges shrunk to about 2.8 million was in June 2019, back when BTC was just valued at around $8,745. Six years after, the price of BTC has multiplied a few times over, reaching a new high at $125,506. The new milestone may attract more demand from investors looking to acquire the asset.

Not only that, it also suggests a shift in BTC ownership. It could mean that more holders are withdrawing their tokens from centralized exchanges and storing them in self-custody wallets. These could include cold-storage wallets or private storage addresses.

On the other hand, Bitcoin has become a highly attractive asset to external parties; especially to institutional investors looking to stockpile more of the asset into corporate-held treasuries. As of late, more and more companies are following the blueprint set by Michael Saylor’s Strategy.

According to Bitcoin Treasuries, in the past 30 days there have been 25 new entities that decided to jump on the BTC bandwagon. The total number of institutions holding BTC stands at 344 entities, with the largest portion coming from the United States at 122 entities. In fact, the number far outweighs those in Canada, the U.K, Japan, and Hong Kong combined.

At the moment, there are 3.88 million BTC kept in corporate treasuries, surpassing the current supply kept in exchanges by more than 1 million BTC.

Bitcoin price analysis
The drop in BTC supply on exchanges reflects the increasing appetite from investors, as it coincides with the asset reaching a new all-time high. With just 2.8 million BTC held on trading platforms, there is now less sellable supply on the market.

That means when demand rises, there is less BTC for the market to absorb. This could potentially push the price higher, as scarcity often does.

According to data from TradingView, Bitcoin is currently trading around $123,610, slightly below its recent surge that pushed it to a new all-time high of $125,506. Since late September, BTC has been on a rally that’s been carried over by strong momentum; with Bitcoin consistently holding above its 30-day moving average.

This bullish momentum confirms the strength of the breakout that has catapulted BTC to fresh highs. The price remains close to its moving average at $123,636, showing that buyers are still defending support levels despite some profit-taking.

On the other hand, the Relative Strength Index is currently hovering at around 53, indicating a consolidation period after the token’s recent surge. This mid-range RSI suggests neither overbought nor oversold conditions, which could imply that Bitcoin is stabilizing after its strong run-up. The market may be preparing to lift it higher if bullish momentum resumes, though there is still room for short-term corrections.

If Bitcoin can sustain above the $122,000 to $123,000 range, the path toward retesting $125,000 and potentially pushing higher remains intact. On the downside, a clean break below the moving average could trigger a pullback toward $120,000, an area of prior consolidation.

Key NotesXRP price rises above $3 as traders anticipate upside from Ripple’s OCC banking license application.Derivatives data show $8.9 billion open interest, signaling renewed institutional speculation despite weekend liquidity.Chart indicators reveal XRP entering a critical $3.10-$3.15 resistance zone, with potential for a $5 breakout in Q4.
.
The XRP price moved above $3 on Sunday, October 5, and held steady around its five-day average. Despite a modest 2% rise, XRP appeared to underperform Bitcoin and Ethereum, which rallied over 3% as BTC set fresh all-time highs. This divergence suggests XRP could be primed for delayed upside momentum, as liquidity from Bitcoin’s record-breaking surge spills over into large-cap altcoins.

A major narrative driving XRP’s current price rally is Ripple’s ongoing application for a U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) banking license. If approved, Ripple would join Kraken and Circle as one of the few crypto-native entities with federal-level banking credentials, granting it direct access to U.S. financial infrastructure.

Ripple Banking License Application Sparks Intense Speculation
The license would allow Ripple to hold deposits, settle transactions, and offer custody services natively, with XRP backing on-chain liquidity operations.

Discussions across social media platforms highlight growing optimism around the proposed Ripple National Bank. One user speculated that such reviews may take 5 to 6 months, placing XRP in good standing for a positive market reaction towards Christmas.

OCC typically takes 5-6 months to review if all goes well, which would out approval around December. Merry Christmas to all of us!

While official confirmation remains pending, the majority of XRP futures traders appear to be positioning for a positive showing in the week ahead. CoinGlass data shows XRP open interest surged 4% in 24 hours to $8.9 billion, even as weekend spot trading volumes plunged 10.4% around $5.9 million.

If Ripple’s OCC application progresses favorably in the coming weeks, it could intensify the active bullish tailwinds from imminent altcoin ETF verdicts, and rising leveraged positions could accelerate XRP’s price towards the $5 breakout range.

Ripple XRP Price Forecast: Bulls Eye $5 if $3 Support Holds
Technical indicators on the daily XRP/USD chart confirm bullish undertones despite subdued weekend volume. The price currently trades near $2.99, comfortably above the 20-day Bollinger midpoint at $2.93 and supported by the Parabolic SAR baseline at $2.74.

Ripple (XRP) Technical Price Analysis | Source: TradingView

Volume Delta turned positive at +2.7 million, following a week of negative divergence, further reaffirming the renewed buyer dominance.

The upper Bollinger band sits near $3.13, representing the next key resistance zone. A decisive daily close above $3.15 could confirm a breakout from the two-week consolidation channel, potentially aiming for the $5 level if XRP ETFs get an approval verdict in the coming weeks.

However, failure to hold above the $2.93 support zone could invite a short-term correction toward $2.74, where the Parabolic SAR provides strong structural support.

LUINO, Italy and CHICAGO, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading luxury real estate brand Christie’s International Real Estate today announced the addition of Talamona Real Estate as its newest affiliate in Italy. The firm will represent Christie’s International Real Estate in northwest Italy’s vibrant Piedmont and Liguria regions, including Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, the Cinque Terre and Lake Maggiore. 

Founded and led by Theodor Talamona, Talamona Real Estate has built a reputation for the highest level of client service in the area, providing support to its clients throughout the transaction and beyond. The brokerage has offices in the lakeside towns of Luino, Laveno-Mombello and Verbania, and the seaside town of Genoa. 

“Theodor and his team are recognized leaders in their market, with a deep understanding of the luxury property landscape and a focus on high-touch service,” said Helena Moyas de Forton, managing director, EMEA and APAC for Christie’s International Real Estate. “Their expertise will be a significant asset to our network as we continue to set the standard for luxury real estate in northwest Italy, and worldwide.” 

As an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, Talamona Real Estate and its clients will benefit from international exposure and referral opportunities through the brand’s global luxury network spanning nearly 50 countries and territories. Clients will also benefit from exclusive marketing partnerships with Christie’s, the world-leading art and luxury business. 

A destination traditionally favored by Europeans, northwest Italy’s popularity is on the rise with buyers from the U.S. and regions outside of Europe, underscoring the importance of the Christie’s International Real Estate alliance, said Talamona, “Our affiliation with Christie’s International Real Estate will allow us to position our portfolio on a truly global stage, connecting our properties with a wider network of discerning clients and reinforcing our commitment to excellence in the high-end real estate sector,” he explained. 

Located at the base of the Alps bordering France and Switzerland, Italy’s Piedmont region is known for its historic cities, wine-producing villages and alpine landscapes, offering a combination of cultural depth and outdoor adventure. The region’s growing prominence is fueled by its proximity to Milan and the French border, a robust culinary and wine economy, and relative value compared to other parts of northern Italy.  In northern Piedmont, the picturesque 34-mile-long Lake Maggiore is a popular holiday destination for both international visitors and regional second home buyers. 

South of Piedmont sits Liguria, a coastal region that continues to draw interest from luxury buyers seeking Mediterranean living with historic character and geographic advantage. Stretching from the French border to Tuscany, Liguria offers access to world-renowned destinations along the Italian Riviera. With its dramatic cliffs, sheltered coves, and elegant seafront villas, the region blends old-world charm with modern appeal. Its proximity to Monaco, Milan, and major European transit hubs further positions Liguria as a strategically located, year-round market for both primary residences and second-home investments. 

The addition of Talamona Real Estate strengthens Christie’s International Real Estate’s footprint in Italy, joining the network’s affiliates in Milan, Rome, Venice, Tuscany, Naples, Sardinia, the South Tyrolean region, and Lake Como.

Press Release
Nokia launches FTTH digital twin and AI-powered tools to boost network reliability

Nokia launches digital twin of the FTTH infrastructure, creating a single unified view of active and passive components.Introducing data analytics and AI models in Altiplano to detect, predict and resolve issues across greenfield and brownfield networks.Full digitalization of FTTH lifecycle keeps inventory accurate, improves operational efficiency and boosts FTTH reliability. 6 October 2025
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced new software tools and AI-models that significantly improve operational efficiencies and enhance network reliability. The new digital features, part of Nokia’s Altiplano platform, will enable operators to create a comprehensive digital twin of their FTTH network and establish a single unified view of active and passive components. This helps reduce operational cost and improve FTTH reliability, giving operators the capabilities to detect disruptions earlier and more quickly resolve incidents on the first attempt.

Operators deploying FTTH networks face limited visibility into the passive outside plant, resulting in inventory errors, costly repeat truck rolls, cost overruns and service delays. With better visibility to the outside plant, operators can fix problems faster, expand networks efficiently, and deliver more reliable broadband to their communities.

Nokia Altiplano gives operators a unified, real-time view of their FTTH networks, using automation tools to streamline processes and continuously validate inventory, topology, and resource data. Operators can also access Nokia’s new Fiber Health Analyzer and Subscriber Line Identifier application from its growing Altiplano Marketplace. The new AI-powered Fiber Health Analyzer application allows operators to monitor the health of fiber links, audit the imported topology, isolate fiber faults, proactively detect issues, perform root cause analysis and improve service quality. With the new Subscriber Line Identify application, operators can verify splitter connectivity with minimal disruption or update inventory in real time to accurately reflect network realities.

The Altiplano digital twin capabilities are compatible with diverse inventory and geospatial software solutions, work effectively in greenfield or brownfield deployments, and come pre-integrated with Nokia Broadband Easy digital platform for automated fiber rollout and operations.

“We can help operators eliminate the blind spots associated with FTTH deployments by removing the need to look at the active and passive network independently. Our software tools and digital platforms provide a unified view of the network, allowing operators to detect issues faster and resolve them before they escalate. This results in significant operational advantages, cutting costs and improving both the reliability and accuracy of network builds,” said Geert Heyninck, General Manager, Broadband Networks at Nokia.

“Nokia’s automation and AI-powered tools not only help us to improve operational efficiencies but also enhance the reliability of our FTTH network. We can now detect disruptions earlier and resolve incidents more quickly to ultimately improve the subscriber experience,” said Danvig De Bruyn, CEO, fibertime.

“Digital twins and AI tools will play an important role in autonomous networks. By unifying active and passive components in a single view, operators can minimize disruptions, resolve issues swiftly, and deliver reliable, cost-effective broadband that sets a new connectivity standard,” said Jaimie Lenderman, Principal Analyst, Omdia.

Active Energy Group PLC (AIM:AEG, OTCQB:ATGVF) has confirmed the pre-sale of 35% of its initial 8 MW capacity at its renewable infrastructure and digital technologies project in the United Arab Emirates.

The company expects to complete construction of the first phase before the end of 2025 and said the strong client interest reflects demand for low-cost energy-backed infrastructure across AI and blockchain computing sectors.

"This is a pivotal moment for AEG. Pre-selling 35% of our first site before construction has even commenced provides clear validation of the market demand and our competitive advantage," said chief executive Paul Elliott.

The 8 MW site is projected to deliver approximately $3.5 million in annual revenue, generating an estimated gross profit of $1.75 million.

Profits are to be reinvested into further development, creating what the company describes as a self-funding model for expansion.

 "We are creating a powerful self-funding cycle to scale rapidly across our 300 MW UAE pipeline. We believe the site will be fully pre-sold before it goes live, underlining the strong appetite from clients who require reliable, low-cost infrastructure at scale," 

"Our modular strategy gives us the flexibility to meet this demand quickly and efficiently, and we are excited to be building the foundations for long-term shareholder value."

Duquesne Family Office's billionaire boss bid adieu to Wall Street's hottest AI stocks in favor of another trillion-dollar company and a long-awaited turnaround story in the healthcare sector.

For a lot of investors, earnings season is the highlight of every quarter. It's the roughly six-week period where most S&P 500 components report their operating results and give investors an inside look at how "healthy" corporate America really is.

But earnings season is far from the only important event each quarter for investors. The filing of Form 13Fs with the Securities and Exchange Commission can be equally valuable.

A 13F provides a concise snapshot of which stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and options Wall Street's savviest money managers purchased and sold in the latest quarter. It's a required filing for institutional investors with at least $100 million in assets under management no later than 45 days following the end to a quarter.

Image source: Getty Images.

While Warren Buffett is the most-prominent of all money managers, he's not the only billionaire with an impressive investing track record. Duquesne Family Office's billionaire boss Stanley Druckenmiller knows a thing or two about spotting amazing deals hiding in plain sight.

Over the last four 13Fs (July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025), Druckenmiller has opened 45 new positions, added to 11 existing holdings, pared down Duquesne's stakes in 13 stocks, and has seen 40 securities leave the portfolio in their entirety. Among these dozens of trades, four stand out.

In particular, Druckenmiller sent his fund's entire stakes in Wall Street's hottest artificial intelligence (AI) stocks packing, Nvidia (NVDA -0.77%) and Palantir Technologies (PLTR -7.29%). At the same time, he's been building up a position in two phenomenal stocks for four consecutive quarters.

Shares of AI superstars Nvidia and Palantir were sent to the chopping block
Few companies have dazzled Wall Street and investors since 2023 began quite like Nvidia and Palantir. Shares of Nvidia have catapulted close to 1,200%, with the company now just $400 billion away from becoming the first $5 trillion business. As for Palantir, it's rocketed higher by more than 2,800% over the same time frame and is the 20th-biggest public company traded on U.S. exchanges.

These truly jaw-dropping gains reflect the competitive advantages and sustainable moats both companies enjoy. Nvidia is the premier supplier of AI-graphics processing units (GPUs) deployed in enterprise data centers. No external GPU providers have come close to matching the compute abilities of Nvidia's Hopper (H100), Blackwell, and Blackwell Ultra chips.

As for Palantir, neither of its AI- and machine learning-driven software-as-a-service platforms are replaceable at scale. Gotham helps federal governments plan and supervise military missions and typically secures multiyear contracts from the U.S. government and its allies. The other operating platform, Foundry, is a subscription-based service that assists businesses with understanding their data and streamlining their operations.

With Nvidia and Palantir not having to look over their proverbial shoulders, both have thrived.

Nevertheless, this hasn't stopped Stanley Druckenmiller from sending both to the chopping block. Duquesne's billionaire chief disposed of all 214,060 shares of Nvidia during the third quarter of 2024, and sent nearly 770,000 shares of Palantir packing over a nine-month stretch from June 30, 2024 to March 31, 2025.

Simple profit-taking is one possible reason for this selling activity. With both stocks rapidly climbing amid the AI revolution, and Druckenmiller being a relatively active trader, cashing in his chips when the opportunity presents itself is common. But there may be more to this selling than initially meets the eye.

During a May 2024 interview with CNBC, Druckenmiller stated that, "AI might be a little overhyped now, but under-hyped long term." This speaks to the idea that every game-changing technological innovation for more than three decades has endured a bubble-bursting event early in its expansion. With most businesses not yet optimizing their AI solutions nor generating a positive return on their AI investments, a bubble event would be big-time trouble for Nvidia and Palantir.

The other potential issue for Druckenmiller is the respective valuations of Nvidia and Palantir. Historically, megacap companies on the leading edge of game-changing trends have topped out at price-to-sales (P/S) ratios of 30 to 40, give or take a little bit in each direction. Nvidia has a P/S ratio that's, once again, approaching 30. Meanwhile, Palantir's P/S ratio is a mind-blowing 137! Neither figure has ever been supported by a megacap company for an extended period.

Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller has piled into TSMC and Teva for four consecutive quarters
At the other end of the spectrum, we find two stocks that Duquesne Family Office's boss simply can't get enough of: world-leading chip fabrication company Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM 1.50%), which is commonly known as TSMC, and drug developer Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA -0.22%). Both stocks have been purchased by Druckenmiller for four straight quarters.

TSMC has quickly become Duquesne's fifth-largest holding:

Q3 2024: 57,355 shares purchased
Q4 2024: 50,160 shares purchased
Q1 2025: 491,265 shares purchased
Q2 2025: 166,305 shares purchased (765,085 total shares held)

There's no question that the evolution of AI is TSMC's biggest catalyst and attraction. Nvidia and other external GPU providers are turning to Taiwan Semiconductor to produce the chips that fuel split-second decision-making in AI-accelerated data centers. TSMC is expanding its chip-on-wafer-on-substrate capacity at a breakneck pace and still can't keep up with seemingly insatiable hardware demand.

But what's great about TSMC is that it's much more than just an AI stock. This relatively new member of the trillion-dollar club also provides chips used in next-generation smartphones, Internet of Things devices, and even automobiles, which are becoming more tech-dependent with each passing year. If an AI bubble were to form and burst, TSMC would seemingly be in better shape than Nvidia to weather the storm.

The other apple of Druckenmiller's eye is brand-name and generic-drug developer Teva Pharmaceutical, which has vaulted to Duquesne's No. 2 holding by market value:

Q3 2024: 1,427,950 shares purchased
Q4 2024: 7,569,450 shares purchased
Q1 2025: 5,882,350 shares purchased
Q2 2025: 1,089,185 shares purchased (15,968,935 total shares held)

Teva had been held down for the better part of a decade by a slew of issues, ranging from litigation concerning its role in the opioid crisis to the loss of sales exclusivity for former blockbuster multiple sclerosis drug Copaxone. Teva also (in hindsight) grossly overpaid for generic-drug company Actavis, which ballooned its outstanding debt.

The good news is Teva has decisively addressed all of its issues. Management has overseen the sale of non-core assets and used cash flow from operations to meaningfully reduce its net debt. It has better financial flexibility than it's had over the last decade.

CEO Richard Francis has also overseen an operating shift that places more emphasis on novel-drug development. Even though brand-name drugs have finite periods of sales exclusivity, their growth potential and margins are far superior to generic therapies. Tardive dyskinesia drug Austedo is on track to meet or surpass $2 billion in sales this year and has been Teva's star performer the last few years.

Perhaps most importantly, Teva firmly placed its litigation concerns in the rearview mirror. In early 2023, it agreed on a $4.25 billion opioid settlement with 48 states to be spread across 13 years that includes up to $1.2 billion worth of generic Narcan (the opioid overdose reversal drug) delivered to states. With this settlement quantified, it now allows Teva's microscopic forward price-to-earnings ratio to expand.
