Lululemon’s Team Canada collection for the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.

Lululemon

Team Canada athletes will sport an alpaca wool sweater at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina. They’ll also have proprietary new fabrics for waterproofing and wind proofing. Then there’s a fully weather-ready boot. Lululemon has gone technical as it outfits the Canadian contingent across the cityscape in Milan and the mountaintop experience in Cortina.

“Most of our fabric will be brand new for this collection,” Catherine Lebrun, Lululemon’s design director on the collection, tells me. “What’s great about this one, is it is the first time we get to redo an [Olympics] season.”

Lululemon first outfitted all of Team Canada at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing before crafting a Summer Olympics collection for Paris in 2024. Now Lebrun says the Canadian brand will take learnings and create a fresh technical approach for the multi-city 2026 experience.

The podium look for Team Canada at the 2026 Olympics was the brightest red Lululemon could create on apparel.

To start, Lebrun says they tracked the weather from the six different locations holding events, splitting those cities into two groups: city (think: Milan) and top of mountain (think: Cortina). With the two different environments, Lululemon could start building layers for everything from the Opening Ceremony in Milan to podium stops and media appearances to the Closing Ceremony in Verona.

“There are a lot of layering systems,” Lebrun says. “We will start from the base and build up, based on thermoregulation.” Lululemon used the cold chamber at its Vancouver-area headquarters to test fabrics and insulations with athletes, working to build unique stacks of materials that could work in the expected temperatures and environments. Each “moment” comes with a different approach.

For the Opening Ceremony, which requires athletes to wear the same outfit an entire day while transferring between indoor and outdoor settings, Lululemon opted for a synthetic base and a lighter-weight Primaloft insulation. Every athlete will have a fully weather-proof shell jacket over top, so they all look the same, no matter which layers they have beneath. Athletes will also have a transformable vest.

The alpaca wool sweater for Team Canada offers a unique piece for an Olympics collection.

“Most of the fabric will be new for these games,” Lebrun says. That includes the Opening Ceremony shell, a waterproof layer developed specifically for the Olympics. The three-layer shell design that’s popular in the industry (and at the brand) was developed for the drape so the structured and tailored look fit the inspiration befitting of Milan’s fashion scene.

Lebrun says the fabric technology continues throughout the event. Weather protection materials are either waterproof and windproof or water resistant and wind resistance, and these differing protective shells sometimes come paired with Primaloft or RDS down. Down is popular for top of mountain environments, while Primaloft fits city environments as it is more packable and better withstands rain.

Keeping athletes comfortable starts with base layers, though. To make that happen, Lululemon is employing a range of materials, including synthetics, merino wool and alpaca wool. An alpaca sweater not only represents the first time the brand has used alpaca wool in an Olympic collection, but also the first time it has introduced a sweater for the Olympics, which can be a difficult piece for an Olympian due to the sometimes-tricky washing requirements. “Not a lot of countries will have a sweater for that reason,” Lebrun says. “We did all the testing and were really passionate about getting them a soft sweater for the media moment. We wanted them to be in alpaca.”

A waterproof boot is a first for Lululemon.

Lululemon

Also new is a fully waterproof boot insulated with Primaloft so it doesn’t get too puffy. It will become the first boot Lululemon will sell at retail. As Lululemon embraces inclusivity and adaptability in its clothing—seated-fit pants are now a staple for the brand’s collections for Paralympic athletes—the boot fits that theme with a tongue design that stays open for easier on-off. Expect all athletes to wear the boot during the Opening Ceremony.

To give the new materials a Canadian expression, Lebrun says they are “always looking at ways to reinvent or reinterpret how to make things feel fresh.” That includes with the color red. The Opening Ceremony kit has the darkest red yet, helping stand out but also give the athletes a unique color that can live on well after the games. A maple leaf pattern will stand out on the darker background. In contrast, the Closing Ceremony features different shades of green as a nod to the landscape of Canada, specifically tied to the green shades found in a glacier. The podium look, though, offers the brightest red Lululemon could chemically create. “It is really bold,” Lebrun says, “to celebrate that moment they made it. We want them to feel that pride.”

For patterns, Lululemon further embraced the landscape of Canada. A reinterpreted topographic map of Canada covers the podium jacket. The way the pattern and a transparent red overlay work together means each jacket is different.

The Team Canada Closing Ceremony kit features greens, a nod to the landscape of Canada.

The alpaca sweater features singular print, this one inspired by the traces left on snow and ice. “There’s this idea of leaving a trace, whether a ski or snowboard or skating, there is always a trace, and those curves feel close to the Lululemon design language,” Lebrun says.

Whether patterns, colors, new material technology or fresh products, the Olympics possess a major stage for brands to branch out. That includes with a winter boot or alpaca sweater.

Stijgt XRP koers naar niveau eerdere oplevingen door herhaling van candle patronen?

XRP toont opnieuw een bekend patroon op hogere tijdsframes. Een analyse van EGRAG Crypto laat zien dat het token voor de derde keer in dezelfde demandzone beweegt waar eerder sterke candles ontstonden. In voorgaande situaties kochten de bulls binnen korte tijd de koersdaling op, waardoor deze candles lange wicks vormden. Dit keer verschijnt dezelfde structuur.

Nu naar Discord XRP koers beweegt rond herkenbare marktstructuur EGRAG verwijst naar twee eerdere momenten waarop het XRP token de onderkant van een consolidatiezone aantikte. Beide keren ontstond er een krachtige candle die daarna door een reeks groene candles werd gevolgd. Dit is zichtbaar op de 5-daagse grafiek, waar de XRP markt zich al langere tijd in een horizontale structuur beweegt. Het token zakte onlangs terug richting een bekend prijsbereik dat eerder als demandzone fungeerde. In die eerdere gevallen kochten de bulls die koersdaling snel op. De candles vormden hierdoor lange wicks en de voortzetting hiervan leverde koersbewegingen op die weken aanhielden. In de huidige test is opnieuw een vergelijkbare reactie zichtbaar. De XRP prijs viel kort onder een belangrijke grens en stabiliseerde direct daarna, wat aansluit bij eerdere patronen volgens de grafiek. Op kortere tijdframes, zoals de 2-uurs grafiek, laat het token een andere dynamiek zien. De koersdaling die meerdere dagen aanhield, is nu in een zijwaartse fase overgegaan. Die compressie ontstaat wanneer het volume afneemt en de bears de verkoopdruk niet verder kunnen duwen. Dit is een controleerbare observatie, omdat de candles kleiner worden en de wicks aan beide kanten toenemen. Dit soort prijsactie kwam ook voor bij de eerdere twee XRP oplevingen. De markt schoof toen zijwaarts voordat een grotere koersbeweging ontstond. Volgens EGRAG is de huidige XRP structuur daarom vergelijkbaar met eerdere situaties die tot sterke candles leidden. #XRP – 5D Time Frame : Candle ️1 or Candle ️2..… which outcome plays out next?

In de eerdere XRP oplevingen waren bepaalde elementen duidelijk aanwezig. De bulls kochten op dezelfde prijszone, de candles kregen lange wicks en de volgende candle toonde een duidelijke voortzetting. Omdat diezelfde combinatie opnieuw zichtbaar wordt, acht EGRAG één van de scenario’s iets waarschijnlijker dan het andere, al maakte hij nog niet bekend welk scenario hij zelf kiest. Het afnemende XRP volume is een merkbaar signaal. Wanneer het volume daalt bij een bekend support niveau, betekent dit dat de bears minder verkoopdruk uitoefenen. Het trading bereik vernauwt en de candles verliezen kracht. Dit soort volume compressies kan volgens eerdere patronen leiden tot een grotere koersbeweging zodra er een nieuwe groene candle ontstaat. In de huidige grafiek ligt daarom de nadruk op de candle die de support zone respecteert. De reactie daarop bepaalt dan of het patroon dat eerder zichtbaar was opnieuw vorm krijgt. EGRAG geeft aan dat hij later op de dag bekendmaakt welk scenario hij als voorkeursstructuur ziet. Alles draait bij XRP op dit moment om twee mogelijke uitwerkingen. De eerste mogelijkheid is dat de markt een sterke candle neerzet vanaf de demandzone, vergelijkbaar met de eerdere oplevingen. De tweede mogelijkheid is dat er een zwakkere candle ontstaat die de XRP markt in een langere zijwaartse fase duwt. Beide uitkomsten zijn terug te vinden in de historische grafiek informatie, waardoor ze controleerbaar zijn. XRP beweegt op dit moment rond $2.05, dicht bij het prijsniveau waar eerder vraag ontstond. Dat maakt deze prijszone opnieuw relevant. De candles laten zien dat de verkoopdruk afneemt en dat de XRP markt op dezelfde plek steun vindt waar eerder grotere koersbewegingen begonnen. Wat wordt de komende beweging van de XRP koers? XRP bevindt zich opnieuw op een plek waar de markt eerder sterke oplevingen zag. De candles, het volume en de structuur lijken sterk op de eerdere twee momenten waarop het token vanaf dezelfde prijszone omhoog bewoog. De komende candles bepalen of dit patroon opnieuw zichtbaar wordt. Het belangrijkste gegeven is dat de grafiek laat zien dat dezelfde XRP marktstructuur opnieuw ontstaat.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…

Why Ethereum strengthens despite whale selling – Inside Asia premium twist

Why Ethereum strengthens despite whale selling – Inside Asia premium twist

The post Why Ethereum strengthens despite whale selling – Inside Asia premium twist appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum’s cohort behavior continues to shape market expectations, but this time the signals are mixed. Over the past day, Ethereum [ETH] has maintained a neutral stance, showing neither strong bullish nor bearish dominance, and is currently trading at $3,033 at press time. Price could, however, make a decisive move as new patterns emerge. This cohort remains a strong influence on price Wallets holding 1,000–10,000 ETH remained the most bearish and pushed price lower after ETH crossed $5,000. Their steady sell-off increased circulating supply and reinforced the recent downtrend. By contrast, wallets holding 10,000–1 million ETH stayed relatively inactive through this period, showing no aggressive accumulation or distribution. Source: Alphractal The Heatmap showed ongoing silent distribution across cohorts. This trend may delay a strong directional shift unless a larger buyer group reappears. U.S. and Asian investors share a similar outlook U.S. and Korean investors are currently showing similar behavior towards Ethereum. While on-chain data indicated that distribution has largely taken place, silent accumulation has continued among these groups, particularly among U.S. investors. U.S. investors appear to be the most bullish. This trend was tracked using the Coinbase Premium Index. Since the 1st of December, this group has quietly accumulated Ethereum from the market. The index moved from -0.02 to a positive level of 0.03 and continued to trend upward at press time, suggesting ongoing accumulation and a strong possibility that the trend could persist. Source: CryptoQuant Similarly, Korean investors continue to display the same pattern via the Korea Premium Index. This index has stayed above 1 as these investors continue accumulating since September. However, buying pressure has gradually weakened, as indicated by the downward trend in the chart line. This suggests that investors are reducing exposure slightly, while still maintaining a generally bullish outlook. Reserve trend supports a bullish narrative Investors…
