$COCOS (COMBO) is quietly trading around $0.00097, but the real story goes far beyond the chart. This is not just another token chasing hype—it’s about infrastructure.

Adoption by developers is growing, new dApps are being launched, and traction across the GameFi stack continues to increase. COMBO is positioning itself as the backbone of Web3 gaming economies, rather than a passing trend.

In the short term, consolidation looks stable and healthy. In the long term, the key question becomes: will COMBO establish itself as the standard for on-chain gaming?

PCE Result: what it means for the crypto market?

The current scenario
The anticipated PCE Price Index for August 2025 was released today (26/09) at 09:30 BRT and came exactly within market expectations.

Core PCE (annual): 2.9%
Projection: 2.9% | Previous: 2.9%
Core PCE (monthly): 0.2%
Projection: 0.2% | Previous: 0.2%

Why does this matter?

The PCE is the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation index. It serves as a guide for interest rate decisions in the US.

When the PCE comes in above expectations, fear of high interest rates for a longer time increases → negative pressure on risk assets.

When the PCE comes in below expectations, optimism for interest rate cuts grows → positive momentum for stocks and cryptocurrencies.

Today, since the result came in line, the market did not have a “surprise” that would change the macro direction. This shifts the focus to technical factors, such as the record expiration of crypto options (US$ 22 billion) and short-term supports in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Impact on the cryptocurrency market

Bitcoin $BTC : remains in contention at US$ 110 thousand, a level that is a turning point. Staying above strengthens the chance of a rise; losing this support may open space for 105 thousand.

Ethereum $ETH : needs to hold the region of US$ 3,900–4,000 to maintain traction against BTC.

Altcoins: without a macro trigger, they tend to amplify the movements of BTC/ETH — both upward and downward.

What to expect

The inline PCE keeps the Fed in a wait-and-see posture, without accelerating interest rate cuts or tightening policy further.

For crypto, this means that the short-term direction will be guided by technical factors and market liquidity, especially after the historic expiration of options.

Eyes on BTC: above 110k the market breathes, below it increases pressure.

#PCEInflationWatch #MarketPullback #TrumpNewTariffs

Trump announces an aggressive package of tariffs ranging from 25% to 100% on imports starting October 1.

🔹 Medications: 100% tariff, except for companies that are already building factories in the USA.
🔹 Heavy trucks: 25%
🔹 Kitchen/bath furniture: 50%
🔹 Upholstered furniture: 30%

📊 The measure reinforces the protectionist agenda and may affect global supply chains, increase costs for consumers, and pressure inflation. Markets react attentively to the economic impact.

Why Does the Market Seem So Irrational Today?

In an instant, it rises; in the next, it plummets — leaving traders perplexed and questioning the logic behind the movements. But the truth is that there is a method behind this apparent chaos:

🔍 Understanding Current Movements
Large investors (institutions and "whales") are reallocating capital quickly, generating artificial spikes and drops to confuse the less attentive.
Market makers are causing sharp fluctuations to liquidate stops and shake the confidence of small investors before the next big trend.
Macroeconomic factors (uncertainties about interest rates, regulatory news, and movements in ETFs) amplify instability in the short term.

💬 The Opinion of Experts:
“This volatility is not a trend change — it's price manipulation.”
“Small traders are being put to the test. Those who can't handle the pressure exit before the next rise.”
“While many think the bull market is over, silent accumulation continues.”

🔥 When Will Our Time Come?
The altseason has not been canceled, only postponed. Historically, after the peak and correction of Bitcoin, liquidity migrates massively to altcoins — resulting in the explosive rallies that everyone is waiting for.

👉 The market is going through a testing phase. This period of lateralization and fear is precisely where the major players expect you to give up. But history has shown: after the turbulence, the most significant highs come.

⚡ Conclusion:
The market is not aimless — it is playing. Do not let short-term movements cloud your long-term vision.

Patience now translates into future gains.

🚨 Crypto Market in decline! $BTC e $ETH recuam before the expiration of US$ 22 billion in options.

Markets are preparing for the "domino effect" that this expiration date may trigger:

🔍 What's happening
More than US$ 22.6 billion in Bitcoin options expire this Friday, with a focus on Deribit, CME, and OKX. Call contracts outnumber puts, with a large part betting on bullish movements if BTC holds above US$ 112,000. However, the market is already reacting with a decline: BTC fell ~1.3%, ETH nearly 4.1%.

📈 Context weighing in

Key macro indicators (U.S. data, Treasury auctions, unemployment) remain on the radar and may be the trigger for a breakout. In the crypto universe, there was a bleed: more than US$ 100 billion left the market this week; ETH ETFs suffered outflows of ~US$ 300 million.

💡 Implications for the coming days

Extreme volatility is expected — prepare for rapid and wide movements. If BTC closes between US$ 107k and 110k, puts gain an advantage; above 112k favors calls. For ETH, breakouts below US$ 4,000 may pave the way for tests at US$ 3,700 / 3,500.

👉 So? Will we see the bullish breakout that many expect — or a surprising plunge towards a decline?

🚨 GOOGLE SURPRISES THE MARKET: buys 5.4% of a Bitcoin mining company! $BTC

A big tech has fully entered the game by acquiring a stake in Cipher Mining, in a deal involving US$ 1.4 billion and direct connection with AI and data centers.

The tech giant has signed an agreement that involves guaranteeing US$ 1.4 billion in obligations from Fluidstack, in exchange for this stake. Cointelegraph

The deal is part of a US$ 3 billion and 10-year contract for renting computational power in AI data centers. Cointelegraph

🔎 Why does this matter?
The move signals how major technology players are integrating crypto mining and AI infrastructure. Cipher will provide up to 168 MW of computing to Fluidstack, with a gross capacity of up to 244 MW, at its Barber Lake (Texas) facility. Other miners have been migrating to high-performance computing (HPC) and AI, seeking new revenue streams.

💡 Practical implications

The convergence between crypto + AI deepens: large companies are betting on technological synergies. Miners that incorporate AI infrastructure have potential for additional appreciation beyond pure bitcoin. This type of operation tends to attract new institutional investors interested in mixed exposure (crypto + tech).

👉 The big question: will this be the moment for crypto companies to transform into intelligent computing hubs, far beyond simple mining?

🔥 Bitcoin is about to explode $BTC

Bollinger Bands for Bitcoin are at their tightest in history — "calm before the storm"

Analysts sound the alarm: BTC's weekly Bollinger Bands are compressed to the most extreme level ever recorded, indicating that an explosion of volatility seems inevitable.

🔎 What this means

The tighter the "envelope" of the bands, the greater the probability of wide and decisive movements when a breakout occurs.

Some analysts warn that this compression phase may precede large swings towards the extremes of the bands (both up and down).

CoinW's strategist emphasizes that factors such as negative funding rates, favorable seasonality, and institutional flow tend to tilt the probabilities towards a bullish turn.

📚 Historical context

In July, before a significant jump that took BTC above $122,000, the Bollinger Bands had already tightened significantly.

This is not the first alert: there were also severe compressions in the monthly charts in September.

💡 Practical implications

Stay alert: breakouts in either direction tend to generate fast and intense movements. The direction may depend on macro triggers or news — the market can "choose" the direction of the breakout. High risk, high opportunity — these are moments for those with strategy and risk control.

👉 Question for the market: will we break to the top or will we be surprised by a strong correction?

📊 Treasury and ETF Council: Accumulation and Capital Flows in Crypto

The Fed's interest rate cut has changed the game.
In the past week, crypto funds attracted US$ 1.9 billion in inflows, despite outflows of US$ 363 million on 09/22, linked to liquidations.
On the corporate side, Forward Ind. purchased US$ 1.58 billion in Solana (SOL) – its largest acquisition to date.

🔎 Context:
Inflows into crypto investment products tend to accelerate in lower interest rate environments, as investors seek higher risk and return assets.
The aggressive purchase by Forward Ind. reinforces the trend of companies adding crypto to their balance sheets, something we have already seen with Tesla and MicroStrategy in the case of BTC.

💡 Implications:

The liquidity released by the Fed is finding its way into ETFs and corporate treasuries.
SOL gains status as an institutional asset, signaling diversification beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
This type of movement often precedes phases of repricing in the market.

👉 The question now is: are we witnessing the beginning of a new institutional wave in crypto?

📊 Bitcoin x Gold: the correlation that reveals market sentiment

The quarterly correlation between BTC and Gold acts as a global risk thermometer.

Current signal: risk aversion → BTC ↓, Gold ↑.
This shows investors migrating to the "safe haven" of gold, while risk assets (BTC, stocks, tech) suffer.

🔎 Historical context:
In times of crisis (COVID-19 in 2020, Russia-Ukraine war in 2022), Gold rose while BTC fell.

During phases of abundant liquidity (2020/21), BTC and Gold moved together (correlation > 0).

💡 What does it mean now?
Market in defensive mode, concerned about the macro scenario.
Pressure on BTC in the short term.
However, when the correlation turns positive again, it often marks the start of bull cycles, indicating renewed confidence.

👉 The question is: are we at the end of the fear phase or just at the beginning of it?

🔎 One of the reasons for the recent weakness of #Bitcoin :

Whales are selling heavily.
🔸 Since August 21, -147 thousand BTC have been liquidated.

🔸 The balance of wallets is decreasing at the fastest monthly rate of this cycle.

Clear movement of profit-taking by strong hands — and extra pressure on the price.
👉 What do you think: continuation of the decline or an opportunity to accumulate?

🚨ALTCOIN SEASON INDEX DROPS DRAMATICALLY FROM 100 TO 65.

HAS THE ALT SEASON ENDED OR IS IT JUST A TEMPORARY DIP?

Bitcoin struggles to reach US$ 113 million while Bowman from the Fed suggests faster rate cuts.

Bitcoin is having trouble recovering from the drop to US$ 112.000, as traders agree on the chances of a new decline.

The performance of the Nasdaq is on the radar, as the overheating conditions of the RSI raise concerns about a cascading effect of cryptocurrencies.

A senior official from the Federal Reserve puts faster rate cuts on the table.

Powell warned about fragility in employment: unemployment is rising and job openings are slowing down. 📉 Even after a 25bps cut, inflation remains resistant. Futures are already pricing in new cuts in October and December, but the Fed does not confirm. This week, data on the PCE, a key inflation indicator, will be released, which could define the next steps — volatility ahead in stocks and crypto.
