Key Points

Nvidia has been a phenomenal performer.

Its future looks quite promising, too, given its deep involvement in artificial technology (AI) development.

A certain kind of spending may reach $4 trillion annually, and Nvidia aims to collect a chunk of it.

My colleague, Adria Cimino, recently predicted that Nvidia (NVDA -0.77%) shares, recently trading near $189 per stub, will reach $400 by 2030, only five years from now. I'm bullish on the stock, myself, own a few shares, and expect them to do quite well over the coming decade.

Why do we expect Nvidia to soar over the coming decade? Well, in my view, there are many reasons. A chief one is the continuing growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technology -- around the world. Nvidia, with a recent market cap of $4.6 trillion, is a leading semiconductor company, and the chips it designs are critical for AI because they help train AI.

Nvidia seems likely to reap plenty of profits from its AI-enabling chips, but it will likely also profit from some significant investments in other companies, such as fellow chip specialist Intel and its customer OpenAI, owner of chatbot ChatGPT. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang foresees up to $4 trillion in annual AI infrastructure spending by 2030 and expects Nvidia to reap a lot of that. More currently, Nvidia is seeing around $600 billion in data center spending this year.

So -- should you invest in Nvidia? It's not a crazy idea. Yes, it has averaged annual gains of more than 77% over the past decade, but its stock still doesn't seem wildly overvalued, considering its torrid growth. Its recent forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 41.5 isn't too far from its five-year average of 38.9.

If you invest in Nvidia, don't assume that you'll enjoy 77% gains each year. Remember that as companies grow huge, it can be hard for them to keep growing rapidly. Still, I suspect that long-term investors buying some shares of Nvidia today will do well over a decade or more.

Solana trades at $232.12, up 1.10% in 24 hours, maintaining position above all major moving averages while approaching critical resistance at $253.51.

Market Overview
SOL is trading at $232.12, gaining 1.10% over the past 24 hours within a tight range of $224.07 to $232.30. The altcoin continues to hold above its 20-day simple moving average at $223.60, demonstrating resilience despite moderate trading volumes of $452.9 million. Solana’s current positioning above all major moving averages suggests underlying bullish momentum remains intact as traders await a decisive break of nearby resistance levels.

Technical Picture
The technical landscape for SOL presents a constructive setup with the cryptocurrency trading 3.8% above its 20-day SMA and a substantial 36.8% premium to the 200-day SMA at $169.68. The Relative Strength Index sits at 57.0, indicating neutral momentum with room for further upside before reaching overbought conditions. Most notably, the MACD indicator shows a bullish configuration with a positive histogram reading of 1.1037, suggesting strengthening momentum.

The SOL price action demonstrates controlled consolidation rather than bearish rejection, with the cryptocurrency maintaining support above the psychologically important $230 level. This price behavior, combined with the technical indicator alignment, points to potential continuation of the broader uptrend that has carried Solana significantly above its longer-term moving averages.

Critical Levels to Watch
The immediate resistance at $253.51 represents the primary hurdle for SOL bulls, with a break above this level potentially opening the door for further gains. This resistance level has proven significant in recent trading sessions and will likely attract increased selling pressure on approach.

Support structures appear robust with the first meaningful level at $223.60 coinciding with the 20-day moving average. Below this, the 50-day SMA at $213.65 provides secondary support, while the more distant $190.80 level represents a critical longer-term support zone that would need to hold to maintain the current bullish structure.

The pivot point at $229.50 serves as a short-term equilibrium level, with SOL/USDT currently trading slightly above this threshold, indicating modest bullish bias in the immediate term.

Market Sentiment
Trading volume of $452.9 million reflects moderate participation levels, suggesting the current consolidation phase lacks the conviction typically seen at major turning points. The absence of significant news catalysts in recent sessions has allowed technical factors to drive price action, with institutional and retail participants likely positioning for the next directional move.

The maintenance of support above key moving averages despite relatively subdued volume indicates underlying strength in Solana’s market structure, with selling pressure appearing limited at current levels.

Trading Perspective
Risk-reward dynamics favor cautious optimism for SOL at current levels, with a clear invalidation point below the 20-day SMA providing defined risk parameters for bullish positions. Short-term traders might consider resistance at $253.51 as a profit-taking zone, while longer-term participants could view any pullback toward the $223-$225 range as an accumulation opportunity.

The neutral RSI reading provides flexibility for both directional scenarios, though the bullish MACD suggests upside momentum may have more room to develop. Conservative traders might await a decisive break above resistance before committing capital, while aggressive participants could position for a breakout attempt.

Bottom Line
SOL maintains a constructive technical posture above key moving averages with $253.51 resistance representing the next significant test for continuation of the broader uptrend.

For the latest SOL price updates and Solana analysis, monitor key support and resistance levels mentioned above.

Oct 5 (Reuters) - Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency by market value, hit a record high on Sunday and was up nearly 2.7% at $125,245.57 at 0512 GMT.

Bitcoin's previous record was $124,480 in mid-August, buoyed by friendlier regulations from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration and strong demand from institutional investors.

The cryptocurrency had risen on Friday for an eighth straight session, bolstered by recent gains in U.S. equities and inflows into bitcoin exchange-traded funds.

In contrast, the U.S. dollar retreated on Friday, posting multi-week losses against major currencies, as uncertainty surrounding a U.S. government shutdown clouded the outlook and delayed key data releases, such as payrolls, critical for gauging the economy's direction.

Bitcoin price surged to a record high on Sunday, continuing a trend that has been going on in the past few weeks. BTC jumped to a high of $125,650 as it rose for the fifth consecutive day following the crash to $108,652. This article explains some of the top reasons why BTC is soaring.

Summarize this article with:

Spot Bitcoin ETFs have just recorded their second-best historical week, with $3.24 billion in net inflows. This spectacular resurgence of interest occurs amidst an still uncertain economic climate, but rekindles hope for a dynamic fourth quarter for the crypto market. Far from a mere rebound, these massive flows reflect a clear reversal in institutional investors’ sentiment, on the eve of an October historically favorable to Bitcoin.

In Brief

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $3.24 billion in net inflows in one week, their second-best historical performance.
This rebound follows a week of massive outflows and is explained by a sudden change in investor sentiment.
The prospect of a rate cut by the Fed boosts appetite for risky assets, directly benefiting Bitcoin.
Uptober, historically a bullish month for BTC, starts on a good note with supportive technical indicators.

Record Inflows and a Sharp Sentiment Reversal
While many analysts predict a historic year-end for the flagship asset, spot Bitcoin ETFs listed in the United States recorded $3.24 billion in net inflows last week, according to data compiled by SoSoValue.

This figure follows a previous week marked by withdrawals of $902 million, illustrating a sharp turnaround in flow dynamics. It is the second-best week in terms of net inflows since the launch of these products, just behind the $3.38 billion reached at the end of November 2024.

Iliya Kalchev, analyst at Nexo, explains this sharp recovery by a change in investor mood : “a new anticipation of interest rate cuts in the United States triggered a sentiment shift, attracting renewed demand for Bitcoin ETFs.”

This massive flow occurs while bitcoin trades near key technical levels, where absorption by ETFs intensifies as selling pressure from long-term holders eases. Kalchev highlights that this situation helps build a stronger base for the asset. According to his projections, if the current momentum continues, the market could see :

More than 100,000 BTC removed from circulation during the fourth quarter ;
More than double the volume of new BTC issued through mining ;
A mechanical scarcity effect reinforced by the decline in floating supply ;
A stronger correlation between ETF inflows and BTC price action.

These factors reinforce the thesis that Bitcoin ETFs have now become the main barometer of institutional sentiment in the crypto sector.

Between Bullish Seasonality and Macroeconomic Expectations
Beyond the raw figures, this bullish dynamic fits into a broader context, that of Uptober, a month historically favorable for bitcoin. According to CoinGlass data, October shows average monthly returns close to 20 %, ranking second among the best months for BTC, behind November.

This well-known seasonality fuels analysts’ optimism for a strong early-quarter rally, driven both by inflows into ETFs and by an economic environment perceived as more accommodative.

“Uptober shows clear signs of a breakout at the start of the fourth quarter, fueled by ETF flows, seasonal strength, and more flexible macroeconomic conditions,” says Kalchev.

However, momentum could be tempered by several key events expected in the coming days. Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech and the publication of the latest FOMC meeting decisions could alter market expectations.

Adding to this is uncertainty linked to the release of the monthly employment report in the United States, which now depends on the duration of the ongoing government shutdown. These factors weigh on short-term readability and could, either way, reinforce or break the current momentum.

At 6:45 a.m. CAT on Oct. 5, bitcoin ( BTC) definitively shattered its previous ceiling, carving out a new, historic all-time high of $125,725, according to Bitstamp prices. This momentous breakout confirms the powerful, month-long anticipation that has gripped the crypto market since the calendar turned.

Bitcoin has broken above $125,000 for the first time in its 17-year history.

The price of Bitcoin soared to a new record high during Asia trading hours on nearly $50 billion in trading volume over the last 24 hours, per data from CoinGecko. As bullish traders piled in pushing the price upward, almost $100 million in short positions were liquidated in just one hour, according to CoinGlass. More than $200 million in BTC shorts were turned into forced buyers in the last 24 hours.

A combination of favorable macroeconomic conditions and surging institutional interest in the digital asset has served Bitcoin well throughout the year, and several analysts recently told Decrypt they expect the appetite for BTC to continue to grow, despite signs of potential exhaustion in the crypto market earlier this week.

"The broader setup remains bullish, with a prolonged government shutdown likely to continue driving interest in hard assets and supporting demand for Bitcoin as an alternative store of value,” Joe DiPasquale, CEO of crypto asset manager BitBull Capital, told Decrypt on Friday.

As the price of Bitcoin soared Friday during early afternoon trading hours in the U.S., the rally stalled as traders appeared content to take profits just below the previously all-time high mark of $124,128.

But not this time. Analysts at the British multinational bank Standard Chartered, who have long been bullish on Bitcoin, don’t think it stops here either. Geoff Kendrick, the bank’s global head of digital assets, said in an investor note published Friday that he expects the price of Bitcoin to reach at least $135,000 in the near term and top $200,000 before the end of the year.

Users on the Myriad prediction market, developed by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, accurately predicted that Bitcoin would hit $125,000, placing odds above 90% on Friday. At the moment, users on Myriad also believe Bitcoin will outperform Ethereum, the second largest crypto asset by market cap, in the month of October.

Bitcoin at Historic Highs: 3 Critical Levels to Watch NowBTC rose to a record high of over $125,000 Sunday, extending the weekly gain to 11.5%. Oct 5, 2025, 6:09 a.m.

This is an analysis post by CoinDesk analyst and Chartered Market Technician Omkar Godbole.

As bitcoin BTC$125,007.24 trades in uncharted territory near record highs, traders may be searching for cues on what comes next, especially key levels that could act as magnets or resistance points.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

Here are three important levels worth watching closely.

$126,100This level represents the upper boundary of the broadening or expanding range pattern that has been developing since mid-July. The potential resistance is defined by the trendline connecting the July 15 and Aug. 14 highs.

BTC's expanding price range. (CoinDesk)

A reversal from this level could trigger a corrective pullback down toward the lower boundary of the range, represented by the trendline drawn from the Aug. 3 and Sept. 1 lows.

$135,000A breakout from the expanding range would shift focus to $135,000, where market makers currently hold a net long gamma position, according to activity in Deribit-listed options tracked by Amberdata.

When market makers are net long gamma, they tend to trade against the market direction – buying on dips and selling on rallies – to maintain their overall market-neutral exposure. Other things being equal, this hedging activity tends to dampen price volatility.

In other words, the $135,000 level could act as a resistance on the way higher.

$140,000Lastly, $140,000 stands out as key level, as data from Deribit shows the $140,000 strike call is the second-most popular on the exchange, holding a notional open interest of over $2 billion.

Notional open interest refers to the dollar value of the number of active or open options contracts at a given time.

Levels with large concentrations of open interest often act as magnets, drawing the price of the underlying asset toward them. A high open interest in call options suggests that many traders expect the spot price to approach or top that level.

At the same time, those who have sold these calls, often large institutions, have an incentive to keep the price below that strike. Their hedging and trading activity around that level can create resistance, making it harder for the price to break through.

Key Takeaways
What signals a potential rebound for MYX despite its recent drop? 
Rising TVL, record protocol revenue, and a positive funding rate suggest bullish momentum may be building.

What key level must MYX hold to avoid further downside? 
 MYX must defend the $2.3 support zone to prevent increased bearish control and deeper price declines.

MYX Finance [MYX] has seen a major outflow in the past day, losing about 33%, at press time, amid a broader market backdrop where it rallied over 395% in the past month.

AMBCrypto analysis shows that the fall was driven by a steep decline in market funding rates, which dropped significantly to a negative 0.0033%.

This suggests that short traders are now paying more in funding fees, highlighting a shift in sentiment across the derivatives market.

Despite this drop, there are early signs of positive momentum building on the protocol that could eventually trigger renewed growth in MYX’s price.

Protocol growth still in place
The recent market drawdown has not reflected the on-chain activity or performance of the protocol. In fact, MYX’s underlying health remains surprisingly bullish, as investors continue to maintain a long-term positive outlook on the token’s price.

The Total Value Locked (TVL), which measures protocol growth, has continued to increase, hitting an all-time high of $27.6 million, according to the latest data from DeFiLlama.

Source: DeFiLlama

Notably, both fee generation and revenue from the protocol have moved in tandem, confirming active user participation and transaction growth on-chain.

Revenue and fees generated in the past day also reached their all-time highs since the protocol’s launch earlier this year—coming in at $6,700 and $567, respectively.

Growth amid negative outlook
Despite the recent drop, the outlook in the derivatives market suggests that bulls are slowly recovering and may soon make a full return.

According to CoinGlass data, the Open Interest (OI) Weighted Funding Rate has turned slightly positive on the chart, with a press time reading of 0.0111%, a notably higher figure that points to renewed bullish interest.

Source: CoinGlass

This indicates that although short traders are still paying funding fees, the market now holds a greater volume of long positions. In this case, it suggests that bullish traders could soon regain dominance, potentially forcing short sellers into liquidation as the market shifts in their favor.

This development adds to the growing signs of bullish activity in the derivatives market, signaling that a short-term price rebound could be on the horizon.

What does the chart say?
Chart analysis presents a mixed outlook. MYX appears likely to slide toward a key support zone marked by the Fibonacci retracement line.

If bears push MYX down to the $2.3 level, it may encounter buy-side demand from pending orders. However, liquidity strength in this region remains uncertain.

Source: TradingView

Failure to hold this level could give bears greater control, leading to more downward pressure and limited near-term gains.

Ethereum trades at $4,538 with modest 1.2% daily gains as technical indicators signal potential upside momentum toward major resistance levels ahead.

Market Overview
ETH maintains its position above critical technical support levels, trading at $4,538.39 with a modest 1.20% gain over the past 24 hours. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap continues to demonstrate resilience above its 20-day moving average, with bulls positioning for a potential test of overhead resistance. Trading volume remains robust at $1.21 billion, indicating sustained institutional and retail interest in current price levels.

Technical Picture
The technical landscape for Ethereum presents a constructive bullish setup across multiple timeframes. The RSI indicator sits at 58.6, positioned comfortably in neutral territory with room for additional upward momentum before reaching overbought conditions. This reading suggests ETH price action has space to advance without triggering immediate selling pressure from momentum-based algorithms.

The MACD histogram shows a bullish reading of 41.8121, confirming that buying momentum continues to outpace selling pressure. This divergence indicates that the recent consolidation phase may be nearing completion, with bulls preparing for the next leg higher.

Moving average analysis reveals ETH trading 5.1% above its 20-day SMA at $4,319 and 3.4% above the 50-day SMA at $4,390. Most significantly, the current price sits 49.4% above the 200-day moving average at $3,038, demonstrating the strength of the prevailing uptrend across longer timeframes.

Critical Levels to Watch
The immediate resistance zone centers around $4,644.47, representing the first major hurdle for bulls attempting to extend gains. A decisive break above this level would likely trigger algorithmic buying and open the path toward the secondary resistance at $4,956.78.

On the downside, ETH maintains strong support at $3,815, which has served as a reliable floor during recent pullbacks. This level coincides with previous consolidation zones and represents a critical line in the sand for maintaining the current bullish structure.

The pivot point at $4,517.80 serves as an important intraday reference, with price action above this level favoring continued upside momentum in the near term.

Market Sentiment
Despite the absence of major fundamental catalysts in recent sessions, Ethereum continues to benefit from broader cryptocurrency market stability and institutional adoption trends. The 24-hour trading range of $4,440 to $4,575 reflects controlled price discovery rather than volatile speculation, suggesting professional money remains engaged.

Volume patterns indicate steady accumulation rather than distribution, with the $1.21 billion daily volume supporting the current price structure without signs of exhaustion selling.

Trading Perspective
For short-term traders, the current setup offers a favorable risk-reward profile with clear technical levels for position management. Bulls can consider entries near current levels with stops below $4,440 and initial targets at the $4,644 resistance zone.

Swing traders may prefer waiting for a confirmed break above $4,644 before committing capital, as this would signal the start of a potentially significant move toward $4,956. Conservative investors can use any weakness toward the $4,319 SMA support as an accumulation opportunity.

The key invalidation level remains the $3,815 support zone, below which the current bullish thesis would require reassessment.

Bottom Line
ETH remains well-positioned for continued gains with bullish technical indicators supporting a potential breakout above $4,644 resistance in the coming sessions.

For the latest ETH price updates and Ethereum analysis, monitor key support and resistance levels mentioned above.

eth price prediction

Dogecoin’s price action in recent days has been defined by steady higher lows and attempts to break above $0.25. The meme coin has managed to maintain bullish momentum in the past 24 hours after ending September consolidating. 

This recent move has kept Dogecoin’s uptrend intact on the daily chart, and according to technical analysis shared on the social media platform X by analyst Javon Marks, this structure could be setting the stage for a powerful upward move.

Breakout Structure And Higher Lows
According to Marks, Dogecoin’s current price formation could be the early stages of a massive rally that carries the meme coin to $0.65 in a quick move. 

This prediction is based off a clear sequence of higher lows (HL) and higher highs that has been forming on the Dogecoin price chart. This formation is on the 5-day candlestick timeframe chart, and it goes as far back as the 2022 bear market. The first higher low started from the capitulation low in 2022 and continued through 2023 into 2024. Each higher low shows growing buyer interest after every correction, which is a sign of bullish continuation on higher timeframes.

The most recent example came during September’s downturn, when Dogecoin found a strong support at $0.22. Rather than breaking down further, the price rebounded from this level to create yet another higher low in the series. This response was important because it confirmed that Dogecoin’s uptrend was still intact.

Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.24. Chart: TradingView
Marks points out that this upward structure of higher lows means that another wave up is likely to be in the works. Therefore, the current phase between $0.22 and $0.25 now is more of a build-up before the next explosive move higher.

Dogecoin 5-day price chart: Javon Marks on X

The Case For A 153% Rally To $0.6533
Marks’ projection goes beyond a simple breakout. The analyst projected Dogecoin to go on to create another higher high in the coming weeks and months. This wave up could be an over 153% run from Dogecoin’s current price level. 

His chart identifies $0.6533 as the immediate target for this wave. Achieving this level would require Dogecoin to more than double from its current price, but this is not unprecedented given its price history. If Dogecoin were to reach the $0.6533 breakout target, it would be its strongest bullish rally since early 2021. However, this is still below its 2021 all-time high of $0.7316, meaning there’s still room for further upside if bullish conditions persist.

Interestingly, the analysis also noted that Dogecoin might extend the rally above the $1 threshold. Particularly, the second price target is at $1.25711, although this may seem far-fetched in the short term.

At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.2525, down by 1.7% in the past 24 hours, but up by 10% in a seven-day timeframe.

ADA trades at $0.86 following modest 0.39% daily gain, hovering near 50-day moving average while technical indicators suggest neutral momentum ahead of potential breakout.

Market Overview
Cardano (ADA) is trading at $0.86 against USDT, marking a modest 0.39% gain over the past 24 hours. The cryptocurrency has established a tight trading range between $0.83 and $0.86, with volume reaching $67.8 million as traders await directional clarity. ADA currently sits precisely at its 50-day moving average, creating a critical technical juncture that could determine near-term price action.

Technical Picture
The technical landscape for ADA presents a mixed but increasingly neutral outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads 52.5, indicating balanced momentum without extreme overbought or oversold conditions. This neutral positioning suggests the market is in equilibrium, awaiting a catalyst to drive the next significant move.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows a bullish configuration with a histogram reading of 0.0044, though the signal remains relatively weak. More significantly, ADA price action reveals a compelling story across different timeframes. The cryptocurrency trades 1.6% above its 20-day simple moving average at $0.84, while sitting exactly at the 50-day average. Perhaps most notably, ADA maintains a substantial 15.7% premium above its 200-day moving average of $0.74, indicating the longer-term trend remains constructive despite recent consolidation.

Critical Levels to Watch
Immediate resistance emerges at $0.94, representing the next significant technical hurdle that could unlock further upside momentum. A break above this level would likely target the $0.99 zone, where previous price action suggests stronger selling interest may emerge.

Primary support sits at $0.75, aligning closely with both the 200-day moving average and previous consolidation zones. This level has proven resilient in recent months and represents a critical floor for bullish market structure. A decisive break below $0.75 would signal a potential shift in the intermediate-term trend.

The pivot point at $0.85 serves as the immediate battleground, with ADA/USDT currently trading just above this threshold. Sustained action above $0.85 would reinforce bullish sentiment, while a failure to hold this level could invite selling pressure toward the support zone.

Market Sentiment
The absence of significant news flow over the past week has contributed to the current consolidation pattern, with traders focusing primarily on technical factors rather than fundamental catalysts. Trading volume of $67.8 million represents moderate participation, suggesting neither aggressive accumulation nor distribution is occurring at current levels.

The positioning around key moving averages indicates institutional and algorithmic trading systems are likely providing both support and resistance, creating the observed range-bound behavior.

Trading Perspective
The current setup presents a classic consolidation pattern with clearly defined risk parameters. Bullish traders might consider positions above $0.86 with stops below $0.84, targeting the $0.94 resistance zone for a favorable risk-reward ratio.

Conservative approaches would await a decisive break above $0.94 or below $0.75 before establishing new positions, as the current range-bound environment offers limited directional conviction. Short-term traders should note the relatively tight daily range, which may limit scalping opportunities until volatility expands.

Position management becomes crucial at these levels, as the proximity to the 50-day moving average often coincides with increased volatility as algorithms and technical traders adjust positioning.

Bottom Line
ADA sits at a critical technical crossroads near $0.86, with the next significant move likely determined by whether bulls can reclaim $0.94 resistance or bears push price below $0.75 support.

For the latest ADA price updates and Cardano analysis, monitor key support and resistance levels mentioned above.

SEC Shutdown Impact and ETF Timeline
Crypto-spot ETF issuers withdrew their 19b-4s after the SEC approved the Generic Listing Standards for Commodity-Based Trust shares. Furthermore, issuers also filed potentially finalized S-1s, signaling an imminent SEC approval to permit trading.

For context, the SEC approved the S-1s for the BTC-spot ETFs on January 10, 2024, the final decision deadline date. All ten BTC-spot ETFs began trading the following day, on January 11, 2024.

Community and Analyst Reactions
The XRP community and ETF analysts predict the launch of XRP-spot ETFs will trigger a flood of institutional money, potentially sending the token to new highs.

Ripple Bull Winkle, a prominent crypto researcher with over 120k followers on X (formerly Twitter), commented:

“The XRP Spot ETFs will be the most important even in XRP’s history—period. […] XRP isn’t just another speculative coin – it’s infrastructure. And once Wall Street gets regulated exposure through an ETF, they’ll treat it like it. […] The early days of ETF inflows will be violent. Supply is fixed, demand won’t be. Every billion that flows in forces price discovery upward.”

Ripple Bull Winkle added that XRP could decouple from (BTC), noting:

“For years, XRP has moved in lockstep with Bitcoin’s mood swings. But spot ETFs are the key that finally unlocks independence. They bring legitimacy, liquidity, and massive institutional demand — the exact mix XRP’s been waiting for.”

NovaDius Wealth Management President Nate Geraci recently warned against underestimating demand for XRP-spot ETFs, stating:

“You heard it here first… People are severely underestimating investor demand for spot XRP & SOL ETFs. Just like they did w/ spot BTC & ETH ETFs.”

Institutional Flows and Market Context
The BTC-spot and ETH-spot ETF markets have recorded total net inflows of $60.0 billion and $14.4 billion, respectively. Institutional demand has firmly shifted the supply-demand balances, sending BTC and Ethereum (ETH) to record highs in 2025.

Notably, US BTC-spot ETF issuers reported total net inflows of $3.24 billion in the week ending October 3. The surge in demand sent BTC to a new record high of $123,843 in early trading on Sunday, October 5.

While the government shutdown may delay the launch of XRP-spot ETFs, an influx of institutional money could be on the horizon. XRP-spot ETFs may benefit from Ripple’s push for a US-chartered bank license, given that approval would further legitimize XRP’s real-world utility status.

Price Action & Technical Analysis: Can Bulls Break $3.1 Resistance?
XRP fell 2.33% on Saturday, October 4, following the previous day’s 0.01% loss, closing at $2.9697. The token underperformed the broader market (0.46%) and dropped below the psychological $3 level.

However, BTC’s early morning gains on Sunday, October 5, lifted sentiment, sending XRP above $3.

Traders are watching the following technical levels:

Support: $3, $2.8, $2.5.
Resistance: $3.1, $3.3, $3.66 (all-time high).

In the coming sessions, several key events could determine near-term price trends:

XRP ETF demand, crypto-spot ETF headlines (delays or launches), and BlackRock’s stance on an iShares XRP Trust.
Blue-chip companies’ appetite for XRP as a treasury reserve asset.
Regulatory milestones: Ripple’s application for a US-chartered bank license, the Market Structure Bill, and SWIFT-related news may also influence near-term price trends.

Catalysts & Scenarios
The combination of ETF flows, legislative headlines, and demand for XRP as a treasury reserve asset could dictate whether XRP drops below key support levels or breaks above resistance.

Bearish Scenario

GDLC, BITW, and XRPR ETFs report outflows, and BlackRock downplays plans for an XRP-spot ETF.
SEC delays XRP-spot ETF launches.
Lawmakers roadblock crypto-friendly regulations, including the Market Structure Bill.
Blue-chip companies avoid XRP for treasury reserve purposes.
OCC delays or rejects Ripple’s US-chartered bank license.
SWIFT keeps its market share in global remittances, limiting Ripple’s market access.

These bearish scenarios could push XRP below the $3 level, bringing $2.8 into play. A break below $2.8 could expose the $2.5 support level.

Bullish Scenario

BITW, GDLC, and XRPR report strong inflows.
BlackRock submits an S-1 for an iShares XRP Trust, and the SEC green-lights S-1s for XRP-spot ETFs.
Blue-chip companies adopt XRP for treasury purposes, and more payment platforms implement Ripple technology.
Ripple secures a US-chartered bank license, and the Market Structure Bill makes progress in the Senate.
Ripple eats into SWIFT’s dominance in the global remittance business.

These bullish scenarios could drive the token toward $3.1, with a breakout bringing $3.3 into play. A break above $3.3 would pave the way to the all-time high of $3.66.

Quantum computing could drive increased investment in AI a few years from now.

Quantum computing isn't as big an investment theme as artificial intelligence (AI). AI is currently the market's fixation, and for good reason, as that's where a ton of investment dollars from companies around the globe are going.

However, within a few years, quantum computing could greatly accelerate artificial intelligence computing, and there are a handful of companies that could cash in on this exciting technology. If you want to increase your risk tolerance in exchange for a greater reward, I think investing in these companies offers a compelling trade-off.

IonQ
IonQ (IONQ 5.14%) is one of the most popular quantum computing stocks, likely stemming from its claim of being the first quantum computing-focused company to debut on the public markets. However, its technology is also compelling and could have massive implications in the AI realm.

Instead of superconducting quantum computing, which most competitors in this space use, IonQ takes a different approach. It utilizes trapped-ion quantum computing, which has two primary benefits.

First, trapped-ion quantum computing doesn't need near absolute-zero temperatures; it can be done at room temp. This is a massive advantage, as it isn't as expensive to operate, and specialized facilities do not need to be developed.

Second, trapped-ion quantum computers provide far greater accuracy than their superconducting counterparts. IonQ currently holds two world records for quantum computing accuracy. IonQ's accuracy comes at the cost of computing speed, but for early adopters of the technology, having accurate calculations instead of high speed is more desirable.

IonQ believes that quantum computing can significantly boost AI capabilities. Recently, IonQ announced that its Tempo system has reached the #AQ 64 performance milestone. This indicates that its computing space for quantum calculations has doubled from the last milestone it achieved nine months ago. This advancement further increases IonQ's potential to become viable in boosting AI, as a hybrid system can significantly reduce energy consumption while running these models.

Time will tell if IonQ's solution is commercially viable, but all signs point toward it becoming a massive winner in the coming years from the hybrid quantum computing industry.

Alphabet
Alphabet (GOOG -0.04%) (GOOGL -0.16%) is also developing a quantum computing chip. Its Willow quantum computing chip has delivered impressive results, and Alphabet has nearly unlimited resources to invest in this technology.

Alphabet understands the benefits of a hybrid quantum computing system tasked with AI, and it's aiming to develop its own technology so it doesn't need to go out and purchase computing units from external suppliers like it has to with AI.

If Alphabet can develop a viable quantum computing solution, its generative AI model, Gemini, would immediately reap the benefits of boosted computing power. This would likely propel Gemini to the top of the leaderboard in best-performing AI models, making Alphabet a must-invest stock if it does.

Additionally, Alphabet would likely offer its quantum computing abilities through its cloud computing service, Google Cloud. This would allow anyone to rent quantum computing capabilities from Alphabet, leading to a huge demand for the service. Furthermore, because it wouldn't need to pay a middleman to outfit it with computing equipment, this would be highly profitable growth, especially if there are no other commercially viable quantum computing options available. Even if Alphabet's quantum computing investments flop, it will still be able to purchase quantum computing units from a company like IonQ for use in its Google Cloud servers. If there's a huge demand for quantum computing power, Google Cloud will reap the benefits of the technology through this service regardless of how its internal developments pan out.

Should Alphabet develop a viable quantum computing solution, it would have two major benefits and would likely send the stock soaring. This could propel Alphabet to become one of the world's largest companies, making it a no-brainer buy right now.

Understanding what makes Taiwan Semiconductor tick helps explain why this company is dominating AI processor manufacturing.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM 1.50%), also known as TSMC, is one of the premier manufacturers of advanced processors, many of which are used for artificial intelligence. The company's strong position in this space and its growth over the past few years have resulted in its stock price soaring nearly 200% over the past three years.

Recent research from The Motley Fool sheds some light on how TSMC's manufacturing technology is a step ahead, how it makes the majority of its revenue, and where most of its customers are located. Importantly, all of these factors work together to set TSMC apart from the competition and make its stock a smart one to own for years to come.

1. The company is a leader in advanced chip manufacturing
TSMC manufactures some of the world's most advanced processors, and the breakdown of the company's revenue shows just how much comes from its different manufacturing capabilities. Chip companies use the term chip node to describe how many transistors will fit onto a semiconductor, with the unit of chip measurement being nanometers (nm). Generally speaking, the smaller, the more advanced the processor.

Here's a snapshot of Taiwan Semiconductor's top five revenue generators, by chip size:

Quarter

3nm

5nm

7nm

16/20nm

28nm

Q2 2025

24%

36%

14%

7%

7%

Data source: Taiwan Semiconductor.

This revenue composition is important to highlight because it shows that a whopping 60% of the company's semiconductor sales are from the smallest and most advanced processors (3nm and 5nm) on the market.

No other company compares to TSMC's manufacturing prowess, and it's likely to continue outpacing the competition. TSMC has already sign 15 deals with tech companies for 2nm semiconductor manufacturing, leaving rivals, including Samsung, far behind.

2. Its advanced processors are driving its growth
Just as important as the technology behind TSMC's revenue is what technologies those processors power. If we go back five years, smartphones were the driving revenue force for TSMC. Now, it's high-performance computing (think AI data centers).

The company has dominated the manufacturing of advanced processors so well, in fact, that TSMC makes an estimated 90% of the world's most advanced processors.

Here is the company's revenue distribution over the past four quarters:

TSMC's making the majority of its revenue from high-performance computing is important because it shows that the company successfully adapted with the times, moving from its previously dominant smartphone segment to sales from chips to AI data centers.

More growth could be on the way, too, considering that semiconductor leader Nvidia believes technology companies could spend up to $4 trillion on AI data center infrastructure over the next five years.

3. U.S. tech giants drive demand
Taiwan Semiconductor is based in, you guessed it, Taiwan, but the vast majority of its sales come from selling processors to North American companies. About five years ago, North America accounted for just over half of TSMC's sales, but that's jumped to 75% currently. China and the Asia-Pacific region tie for second place with just 9% each.

Why does this matter? Some of the most advanced artificial intelligence companies, including Nvidia, OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta, and Alphabet, are based in North America. Taiwan Semiconductor's shift toward sales in this geographic area is a reflection of the company successfully attracting the world's leading AI companies to have their chips made by TSMC.

Is Taiwan Semiconductor a buy?
With TSMC making an estimated 90% of the world's most advanced processors, the company outpacing its manufacturing competition, and artificial intelligence companies poised to spend trillions of dollars to build out and upgrade data centers, TSMC is well positioned to be a great AI stock for years to come.

Just keep in mind that the stellar gains TSMC stock has experienced over the past several years have been a result of the early AI boom, which means future returns may not be quite as impressive.

Paramount Skydance’s hiring of Makan Delrahim was the easy part.

Now the media giant’s CEO David Ellison is hoping his new super lawyer can entice David Zaslav to sell most if not all of Warner Bros. Discovery. 

The Post has learned that since taking the job last week, Delrahim — who was the Justice Department’s antitrust chief during the first Trump administration — is fast at work plotting a strategy to get Zas to bite on a bid from Ellison. 

The pitch goes something like this: If Zas doesn’t sell to Ellison, he may find himself with a Shari Redstone-like future. 

Recall that Skydance just purchased Redstone’s media empire Paramount — which includes fading properties like CBS, Comedy Central, MTV and a mid-tier Hollywood studio — for a mere $8 billion because the heiress bit the bullet and sold only after it was too late. 

Delrahim, of course, is no dummy — he’s maybe the best-positioned media dealmaker given his ties to the White House.

His problem is that Zas also is no dummy. And Warner Bros. Discovery, known in media and Wall Street circles simply as WBD, isn’t Paramount. 

Just before Ellison — backed by dad Larry Ellison, the Oracle tycoon who is now the second-richest person in the world — reportedly signaled that he wanted another trophy property in WBD, Zas hired bankers at Goldman Sachs to start shopping it. 

There is interest and for good reason: While Zas has taken heat for a sluggish stock price and getting paid a lot of money, industry insiders are ­quietly recognizing the good things he’s done. 

Solid box office 
Warner Bros. studio has cranked out a host of big box-office draws; it’s the first studio to earn $4 billion at the box office so far this year, HBO Max is profitable and popular; its subscriber growth made it the third largest streamer.

Zas has been chipping away at the debt used to make the TimeWarner deal work. 

He’s been separating cable channels like CNN from streaming and the studio, which would make things easier to sell, particularly the streaming and studio unit since it will have almost no debt. 

People close to Zas say Goldman has received interest from some formidable new players — Netflix, Amazon and even Apple among them — for the streaming and studios part of the business and at levels above what the Ellisons have leaked. 

“If the Ellisons want this, they better bring cash and a lot of it,” said one person who knows ­Zaslav well. 

Zas scoffed at a leak to CNBC that Ellison is preparing $22 to $24 a share for all of WBD.

“Zaslav wants well north of that, somewhere in the $30 range and just for the streaming and studio,” this person added. 

That’s where Delrahim comes in.

According to his pitch, apart from Paramount Skydance there are only two possible suitors for WBD: Netflix and Amazon.

Netflix is already the No. 1 streaming service; combining it with the No. 3 service will face hurdles even from the more deal-friendly Trump regulatory cops. 

Consent decree 
Ditto for Amazon, which bought MGM Studios in 2022.

It’s also ­under a consent decree with the Federal Trade Commission over allegations that it screwed consumers when they signed up for its Amazon Prime. 

Delrahim believes — or will tell Zas he believes — the consent decree adds yet another stumbling block for an Amazon deal, with the FTC being the most hazardous.

(There’s also FCC, DOJ antitrust and God knows what else.)

And if Zas is banking on a bid from Apple, he shouldn’t hold his breath; the iPhone maker is looking for content but looking to build it organically. 

This is why there’s near radio silence from the Ellisons.

Lots of meetings are taking place in ­Skydance land on just how to proceed with Zas.

(By the time you’re reading this, the bid may have already been made.) 

As reported, Delrahim might ask John Malone — aka “The ­Cable Cowboy,” a mercurial dealmaker who is a major shareholder in WBD — to directly make the pitch. 

Their problem: This ain’t Zas’s first rodeo — and Malone is among his mentors.

Zaslav was a also was a protégé of Jack Welch when General Electric owned NBCUniversal.

Zas knows balance sheets and he knows how to do deals. Otherwise, his relatively small Discovery Inc. wouldn’t have managed its 2022 mega-merger with TimeWarner to create WBD. 

In other words, maybe it’s possible that he and Goldman can convince the Trump administration to greenlight deals for Netflix and Amazon, or Apple finally wants to buy something — and Ellison can kiss that $22-a-share bid goodbye.

Approximately 99.3% of the Bitcoin supply is in profit, increasing the likelihood of a short-term correction.
