Ethereum is once again capturing attention across the market, and for good reason. On the daily chart, ETH has just confirmed a sustained move above the 200-day EMA, which is traditionally seen as a critical threshold between bearish and bullish cycles. This breakout could be laying the foundation for a broader push toward $3,000, with the current level near $2,500 acting more like a pit stop than a ceilin.
Recent price action shows ETH consolidating above multiple EMAs, and despite some choppy candles, bulls are holding their ground. The bounce from the 200 EMA was swift and backed by a noticeable uptick in volume, typically a sign of renewed market interest. The RSI is steadily climbing again from neutral territory, indicating there’s room for further upward momentum without immediately triggering overbought conditions.
#TradingTools101 Will US-China Trade Talks Be the Catalyst for Bitcoin’s $110K Breakthrough?
The world’s two largest economies have been locked in a room somewhere in the iconic Lancaster House located on the West End of London for a series of high stakes trade negotiations. U.S. President Donald Trump and his Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick have indicated that the talks are “going well” but they’ve both been mum on details, leaving stock and crypto markets in a state of limbo.
China and the U.S. have been working on mending relations after Trump imposed a 145% tariff on Chinese imports. China retaliated with a 125% tax on American goods, but the two superpowers eventually came to their senses and agreed on a 90-day reprieve during which tariffs would drop to 30% on Chinese products and 10% on American goods.
Analysts say Bitcoin could break its all-time high within one to two weeks, following breakout patterns seen recently in gold and the S&P 500.
BTC’s push above $108,000 came as traders monitored US-China trade talks unfolding in London.
Negotiations began on June 9 afternoon with signs of a diplomatic thaw: The US is reportedly willing to relax tech export restrictions in exchange for more access to China’s rare earth materials.
Talks may continue into Tuesday if needed, according to officials close to the matter. Like Bitcoin, US equities have responded positively to the news, indicating an overall positive sentiment among risk traders.
On March 7, 2025, Nasdaq filed a proposed rule change with the SEC, seeking to include Cardano, XRP and other cryptocurrencies in its Nasdaq Crypto Index U.S. ETF.
If approved, the rule change would allow the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index U.S. ETF to change its Benchmark Index from the "NCIUS" to the Nasdaq Crypto Index ("NCI"), a broader index that would hold nine digital assets.
The approval would also allow the Trust to hold a broader set of index constituents, including BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA, Chainlink (LINK), Litecoin (LTC), XLM and Uniswap (UNI). The proposed rule change is now being reviewed by the SEC, with a final decision due on or before Nov. 2, 2025.
$ETH Is ETH Gearing Up for a Breakout as Trend Strength Builds?
Ethereum’s Directional Movement Index (DMI) reveals a notable surge in trend strength, with the Average Directional Index (ADX) rising to 24.77 from 11.58 just a day ago.
The ADX measures trend strength regardless of direction, with values below 20 typically indicating a weak or non-trending market, and values above 25 pointing to a strong trend.
Ethereum is now approaching that key threshold, suggesting that momentum is building and a clearer directional move may be developing. Analysts recently highlighted four reasons why Ethereum may be on the verge of a breakout.
#TrumpVsMusk Musk’s breakup with Trump bad for Dogecoin Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows Dogecoin trading in a third consecutive bearish session on the weekly candle chart.
The price is down 14% in seven days, extending the three-week-long slide to 28%, as billionaire Musk escalated his public spat with Trump.
The fallout that has been sparring in recent days after Musk’s official departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) escalated on June 5 with Trump threatening to terminate Musk’s government subsidies and contracts, potentially saving “Billions and Billions of dollars.”
Musk responded on X, claiming Trump would have lost the 2024 presidential election without his support. He called Trump’s recent spending bill the “Big Ugly Bill” and backed calls for his impeachment.
Two crypto advocacy groups, whose amicus curiae briefs on behalf of Samourai Wallet were denied this week by a federal judge, told Decrypt that along with other organizations, they urge the dismissal of the case against the Bitcoin mixer charged with operating as an illegal money transmitter.
The Blockchain Association, Coin Center, the DeFi Education Fund, and the Bitcoin Policy Institute argued in their respective briefs that Samourai Wallet has simply helped people execute financial transactions online without violating U.S. law.
"Privacy is normal: it's normal for people to want to be able to make financial transactions on-chain whilst still maintaining privacy—people do that with cash every day in their regular lives," DeFi Education Fund Chief Legal Officer and Executive Director Amanda Tuminelli told Decrypt.
$BTC Ethereum Price Outlook as ETH/BTC Tests Support ETH price trades at $2,513 at press time, with the dip threatening to wipe out the gains that the altcoin recorded in May 2025. However, despite the ongoing dip, the market sentiment towards ETH remains high as institutional inflows shift from Bitcoin to Ethereum.
The dip has also caused the ETH/BTC ratio to fall to a critical support level of 0.017, which triggered an over 20x rally for Ethereum price during the 2021 bull market. The trend appears to be repeating again as the ratio forms an upward trend since its drop to this range.
For this ratio to confirm the upward trend and the start of a 2021-like bull market for Ethereum price, it first needs to overcome resistance at the 61.8% Fibonacci level of $0.0422. Bouncing from this level may then result in a 2x rally to 0.082, marking the highest level since September 2022. However, the upward trend portrayed in the ETH/BTC ratio is facing weakness, as the downward sloping ADX line shows.

MUBARAK Made The Community Discuss CEX Listing Processes
The steep drop in MUBARAK, now down 40% since its Binance debut, has reignited concerns about the quality of recent listings on centralized exchanges. Binance recently ended its first listing vote, with BROCCOLI and Tutorial surging.
Hyperliquid Crisis Made Users Question Meme Coins
MUBARAK’s drop was not the only crisis in the meme coin ecosystem this week. HYPE experienced a sharp decline following the JELLY short squeeze, triggering widespread speculation about the role of Hyperliquid and meme coins in the crypto ecosystem.
Some users have even questioned if this could be the beginning of an FTX-style collapse as concerns grow over the unchecked volatility tied to meme coin derivatives.

The decentralized finance sector maintains rapid expansion as several projects establish growth prospects by 2025.

Frax Protocol: Pioneering a New Type of Stablecoin
Decoding the Rise of Yield-Generating Stablecoin Pools in 2025 Following the collapse of Terra’s ecosystem and Anchor, an emergent cohort of yield-bearing stablecoins has risen to prominence, captivating participants seeking reliable returns in decentralized finance. A yield-bearing stablecoin represents a category of fiat-pegged digital tokens that marries the stability inherent to traditional fiat currencies with opportunities to accrue passive income. Certain standard stablecoins, when deposited into sizable liquidity pools, accumulate returns generated by the pools’ operations.
Capital allocated to these instruments is typically channeled into liquidity pools or similar structured frameworks, which function as the backbone for producing returns via strategic protocols—including staking digital assets like ETH, decentralized lending, or deploying capital across diverse financial vehicles. According to metrics collected by defillama.com, the top five pools secure $8.699 billion as of March 6, 2025.
Japanese public company Metaplanet has issued 2 billion yen ($13.3 million) worth of zero-interest bonds in order to fund its future Bitcoin purchases, according to a Monday announcement.
CEO Simon Gerovich has said that the company is "buying the dip."
Earlier today, the price of Bitcoin slipped to an intraday low of $81,362.
As reported by U.Today, Metaplanet announced its latest purchase of 150 BTC on March 24.
Metaplanet has now emerged as the top Asian holder of Bitcoin, outpacing Chinese game developer Boyaa Interactive and mining firm Cango. After its most recent Bitcoin purchase, the firm now holds $267 million worth of Bitcoin. This impressive sum puts it above the US-based mining company Semler Scientific.
The shares of Metaplanet are down 8.03% despite the announcement. Japan's Nikkei has plunged by 4%, reaching its lowest level in nearly eight months amid escalating global trade tensions.
The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has now formed the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern on the daily chart, which is typically believed to be a sign of bullish reversal. However, there is a catch: The pattern that the Bitcoin price is currently developing has a downward-sloping neckline.
Brandt, who has more than four decades of experience as a commodity trader, says that he prefers H&S patterns with horizontal necklines since they are significantly more reliable.
The downward-sloping neckline means that the cryptocurrency's bullish momentum is possibly waning due to the lack of aggressive buying. Hence, one should not rule out that any future breakout will end up being a fakeout, with the price plunging back below the neckline of the pattern.
The revenue uptick is a positive sign for miners, who have been under pressure since the Bitcoin network’s “halving” in April.
Bitcoin mining revenues hit $3.7 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024, a 42% increase from the prior quarter, and are approaching similar levels of around $3.6 billion in Q1 2025, according to data from Coin Metrics.
The revenue uptick suggests miners’ incomes are stabilizing after the Bitcoin network’s “halving” in April 2024 reduced mining rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC per block. Halvings occur every four years and cut the number of BTC mined per block in half.
The letter follows previous reports from that GameStop is considering investing in alternative assets, including bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
The suggestion in the letter aligns with moves already made by companies like MicroStrategy, Semler Scientific, and MARA Holdings. Cole praised GameStop for closing unprofitable stores and publicly rejecting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
Bitcoin has risen slightly on the news, now trading at $88,500, up about 0.2% from 24 hours ago.
GameStop Embraces Crypto: Bitcoin Added to Treasury Strategy
GameStop (GME), known for its position in the gaming industry, has recently made headlines by adopting a bitcoin treasury strategy. This move aligns the company with a growing number of publicly traded firms choosing to hold bitcoin as part of their financial strategy.
Along with its fourth-quarter earnings report, GameStop revealed that its board has unanimously decided to add bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. This allows the company to hold digital assets on its balance sheet, signaling a shift in its treasury management and aligning with its evolving financial strategy.
GME Surges Over 5%
This announcement gained attention earlier in February when CEO Ryan Cohen posted a photo of himself with Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (MSTR), at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, sparking curiosity about the company’s future plans in the crypto space.
By the end of 2024, GameStop reported $5.355 billion in current assets but didn’t specify how much of this would be used for Bitcoin purchases. The news led to a 5.9% increase in GME shares during after-hours trading.
