SAND, AXS, MANA Lead the Charge

admin

META is back and has pushed SAND, AXS, and MANA higher. But network growth and liquidity trends still look weak. The market leadership appears to have undergone a massive change since January 9th. Data shows that several small caps are taking charge while larger cryptocurrencies consolidate, driven by the resurgence of the META narrative. Three tokens, in particular, have stolen the spotlight this month. “Pocket Rally” Altcoin Vector explained that the latest trend is not a sign that the overall market is getting healthier, amidst falling network growth and…

Bitcoin velocity RSI suggests a bottom, but trader positioning urges caution

admin

There’s a debate heating up in crypto circles right now. Bitcoin is showing one of those technical signs that typically points to a market bottom, but the way traders are actually behaving tells a more complicated story. Bitcoin’s velocity RSI, a twist on the classic momentum indicator, has dropped to levels we haven’t seen since the exhaustion phases of previous bear markets. Historically, when this reading hits these depths, the selling pressure tends to dry up pretty quickly. Think of it like watching a marathon runner hit that wall where…

At the World Economic Forum 2026, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse described how this shift is already taking shape through live tokenization activity, regulated integration with banks, and on-chain settlement at scale.  XRP Tokenization Shifts From Theory To Balance-Sheet Reality Garlinghouse used tokenization as the primary context for explaining this transition.

How Will It Affect Bitcoin Price?

admin

BTC price faces pressure as markets brace for a sustained rise in long-term yields driven by economic deficits, particularly in Japan. The gap between the US’s longer-dated and shorter-dated bonds has widened to its highest level since 2021, signaling potential trouble for Bitcoin (BTC) in 2026. Key takeaways: A wider gap means long-term yields are rising, which can pressure Bitcoin. Japan’s long-bond selloff is driving the move and pulling US yields higher. Rising yield gap can hurt equities (and Bitcoin) Bitcoin’s market outlook looks increasingly bearish, if an assessment made…
