Index

A crypto Index provides a way for investors to gain diversified exposure to a specific basket of digital assets through a single tokenized product. These indices often track specific sectors, such as DeFi, DePIN, or RWA, and are automatically rebalanced via smart contracts. In 2026, AI-managed thematic indices have become the gold standard for passive investing, allowing users to track the "blue chips" of the Web3 economy without manual portfolio management. This tag covers index methodology, rebalancing frequency, and the benefits of diversified crypto baskets.

Pound tumbles to two-week lows, tests 1.3400

Pound tumbles to two-week lows, tests 1.3400

The post Pound tumbles to two-week lows, tests 1.3400 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. GBP/USD slips to more than two-week lows as bearish momentum builds. The US Dollar Index climbs back above 97.50 as Powell’s cautious tone supports the Greenback. Immediate support is at 1.3400, with the September swing low at 1.3333 next on the radar if broken. The British Pound (GBP) edges lower against the US Dollar (USD) on Wednesday, snapping a two-day winning streak as renewed strength in the Greenback and dovish remarks from Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey weighed on sentiment. At the time of writing, GBP/USD is trading near 1.3435, its lowest level in over two weeks, last seen on September 5. The pair is down nearly 0.65% on the day, with downside momentum gathering pace after failing to sustain a recovery above its 21-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). Meanwhile, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the value of the Greenback against a basket of six major currencies, rebounds sharply to 97.70 after two days of losses, as Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s cautious tone on future monetary easing helped limit the downside. On the daily chart, GBP/USD continues its decline after peaking at its highest level since early July on September 17, with bears extending their grip. From a technical perspective, the pair has slipped below both the 21-day and 50-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), at 1.3521 and 1.3470, respectively. Immediate support is seen at 1.3400, and a break beneath this level would expose the September swing low at 1.3333. On the upside, bulls need a recovery above the 21-day SMA to ease selling pressure, with the next resistance sitting near 1.3600. Momentum indicators confirm the downside tilt. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering at 44, heading lower, and signaling sellers remain in control while still leaving room before oversold conditions kick in. Meanwhile,…

US Treasury Secretary Criticizes Fed Chair Powell, Talks About Interest Rate Cuts! “Surprised Me!”

US Treasury Secretary Criticizes Fed Chair Powell, Talks About Interest Rate Cuts! “Surprised Me!”

The post US Treasury Secretary Criticizes Fed Chair Powell, Talks About Interest Rate Cuts! “Surprised Me!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FED Chairman Jerome Powell spoke last night for the first time since the interest rate decision was announced last week. However, Powell did not give a clear indication of interest rate decisions in the coming months. While this situation increases uncertainty, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent evaluated Jerome Powell’s statement yesterday. Powell Surprised! Speaking on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria” today, Scott Bessent criticized Powell for not giving any indication of the direction of interest rates in his speech yesterday. Stating that it was surprising that he did not speak clearly, Bessent argued that the FED was late in lowering interest rates. Bessent stated that the US has now entered a loosening cycle in monetary policy and emphasized that further interest rate cuts are necessary. “It’s surprising that Powell didn’t clearly state the direction of interest rates in his speech yesterday. Powell should have signaled a 100-150 basis point cut in his speech yesterday. Because the Fed has kept interest rates very high for a long time. And interest rates are very restrictive and need to be lowered. “At this point, we need a rate cut. We need to at least return to a neutral interest rate.” Bessent, who also made a statement about possible Fed chair candidates to replace Powell, stated that he will have several meetings with the candidates next week and aims to complete the first round of meetings in the first week of October. Bessent said he was surprised by the strong performance of some candidates but would not name them. *This is not investment advice.

Pound Sterling declines on disappointing UK business growth

Pound Sterling declines on disappointing UK business growth

The post Pound Sterling declines on disappointing UK business growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Pound Sterling trades lower against the US Dollar as Fed Chair Powell signals caution on further policy easing. Fed’s Bowman argued in favor of reducing interest rates quickly to prevent further weakness in the job market. The UK’s overall business activity growth cooled down in September. The Pound Sterling (GBP) trades lower against its peers on Wednesday as United Kingdom (UK) business activity growth has slowed down in September. Flash S&P Global Composite Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) came in lower-than-expected at 51.0, against estimates of 52.7 and from 53.5 in August, indicating that overall business activity expanded, but at a moderate pace. The overall growth in business activity dropped due to continued weakness in the manufacturing sector. The S&P Global Manufacturing PMI contracted to 46.2, while it was expected to remain steady at 47.0. A figure below 50.0 is considered a contraction in business activity. The S&P Global Services PMI dropped to 51.9 from estimates of 53.5 and the prior reading of 54.2. The PMI report also signaled continued job losses and declining new business from global markets in the wake of the trade war, following the imposition of tariffs by the US on its trading partners. Signs of cooling UK job market conditions and declining overseas business activity could force the Bank of England (BoE) to become dovish on interest rates. Last week, the BoE held interest rates steady at 4% and retained its “gradual and careful” monetary easing guidance. The BoE maintained the status quo as the UK inflation has remained well above the central bank’s target of 2%. However, the BoE stated that price pressures are expected to peak at around 4% in September. On Tuesday, BoE Chief Economist Huw Pill expressed confidence that inflation will ease in the near term.

MSTR down $8B this quarter despite inflows from global institutions

The post MSTR down $8B this quarter despite inflows from global institutions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Despite hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Strategy purchases by institutional wealth managers overseeing trillions of dollars, its MSTR common stock is languishing 38% below its 52-week high. Since the end of the second quarter of 2025 when many funds disclosed their purchases, MSTR has lost $8 billion in market cap despite these impressive inflows. This month, a division of the $1.3 trillion asset manager Northern Trust disclosed $31.6 million in MSTR purchases. Meanwhile, the $700 million BNC Wealth Management LLC purchased 1,831 MSTR, according to its most recent quarterly report.

Support at $114K or Deeper Correction?

Support at $114K or Deeper Correction?

The post Support at $114K or Deeper Correction? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin Analysis Bitcoin is showing renewed volatility as traders monitor whether the asset can reclaim crucial support levels. After briefly approaching $117,000 earlier this week, the leading cryptocurrency faced rejection at that zone and is now trading near $113,200. Market analyst Rekt Capital noted that the $117,200 level is proving to be a major resistance point. He added that the next test for Bitcoin will be whether it can hold $114,000 as support. If confirmed, the recent rejection may be seen as relatively shallow, potentially allowing for another push higher. The daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains neutral around 55, suggesting neither overbought nor oversold conditions. This reflects market indecision as Bitcoin consolidates after a volatile September marked by rapid swings between $112,000 and $120,000. Meanwhile, fresh data highlights a divergence between Bitcoin and traditional markets. According to Crypto Rover, correlations with gold and Nasdaq stocks have recently weakened. Historically, such breaks in correlation often precede sharp price moves as Bitcoin reasserts itself as a distinct asset class. Despite the pullback from $117K, Bitcoin remains well above its May lows near $110,000, which has served as strong support throughout the summer. Traders now look for confirmation at $114K to gauge whether this rejection is temporary or the beginning of deeper retracement. With October historically one of Bitcoin’s stronger months, analysts caution that the coming weeks may prove decisive in shaping the next leg of the trend.
