QNT Traders Eye $57.40 Retest Before Next Big Move

QNT Traders Eye $57.40 Retest Before Next Big Move

The post QNT Traders Eye $57.40 Retest Before Next Big Move appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights: QNT trades mid-channel near $103, with resistance at $118 and major support near $90–$57.40. Short liquidations hit $527K in 24 hours, signaling pressure on bearish positions despite low volume. Open interest rises 2.41% to $26.96M, showing new positioning as traders await the next big move. QNT Traders Eye $57.40 Retest Before Next Big Move Quant (QNT) is trading near the middle of its long-term channel, a zone that analysts describe as less favorable for new positions. At the time of writing, QNT is priced at $103.79 with a daily trading volume of $16.91 million. The token has gained 0.76% in the last 24 hours but remains down 5.46% over the past week. Mid-Range Positioning Limits Opportunity The QNT/USDT weekly chart shows price moving within a defined channel, currently sitting in the $100–$106 area. Resistance is seen around $118, while immediate support is located near $90. With price positioned in the mid-range, traders face limited risk-to-reward potential compared to entries near the channel’s extremes. Ali, a market analyst, noted  “a better approach is to wait for a potential retest of the channel’s support at $57.40.” Meanwhile, this level has acted as a historical base in prior cycles, providing stronger long-term entry opportunities. The chart also outlines scenarios where failure to hold above $90 could trigger a decline through $82 and $68, eventually retesting the $57.40 level.

How the political landscape influences your Forex trading

How the political landscape influences your Forex trading

The post How the political landscape influences your Forex trading appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The foreign exchange market, also known as Forex, is the world’s largest financial market, with several trillion dollars traded daily. Unlike Equity markets, which are influenced by corporate results, Forex is particularly sensitive to political decisions and institutional stability. Elections, geopolitical tensions, trade policies and central bank decisions directly shape currency values. In a world where politics and economics are intertwined, understanding this link becomes essential for investors, companies and individuals exposed to currency variations. Central banks at the heart of the link between policy and currencies Central banks, such as the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB), play a decisive role in currency trends. Their interest rate and liquidity decisions immediately influence currency values. And while these institutions are supposed to be independent, they are never totally cut off from political pressures. In the United States, the President appoints the members of the Fed’s Board of Governors. US President Donald Trump, for example, has often publicly criticized Fed Chair Jerome Powell when he believed that monetary policy was not sufficiently supportive of growth. In Europe, the ECB faces a complex equation, defending price stability while taking into account the political tensions between countries in the north and south of the Eurozone. A signal of monetary loosening is perceived as downward pressure on the currency concerned, while a tightening of interest rates tends to reinforce it. Political decisions influencing the trajectory of central banks are, therefore, becoming a key factor for Forex traders. Elections and changes in leadership: Uncertainty as a driver of volatility Election periods are highly volatile times for currencies. Uncertainty over the future government’s economic program, or the stability of its institutions, pushes investors to quickly adjust their positions. In the United States, since his return to the White House in 2025, Donald…

Grayscale Moves Forward with Polkadot and Cardano Spot ETFs

The post Grayscale Moves Forward with Polkadot and Cardano Spot ETFs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Grayscale files for Polkadot and Cardano spot ETFs with U.S. SEC. No statements from Polkadot or Cardano project leaders yet. Passive ETFs aim to broaden regulated altcoin investment options. Grayscale has filed for spot ETFs for Polkadot and Cardano with the U.S. SEC, aiming to expand regulated altcoin investment options. The filing signifies increased institutional interest, potentially boosting market sentiment and expanding access to digital assets like DOT and ADA, pending regulatory approval. Grayscale Targets Nasdaq and NYSE Arca for ETF Listings Grayscale Investments, a prominent crypto asset manager, is targeting the launch of spot ETFs for Polkadot (DOT) and Cardano (ADA). The registrations, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, nominate Coinbase as the asset custodian, confirming CoinDesk as the index provider. Grayscale’s drive into altcoin ETFs reflects industry trends towards broader regulatory acceptance. These passive ETFs offer direct exposure to Polkadot’s and Cardano’s market movements. The planned listing venues are Nasdaq and NYSE Arca. This strategic expansion implies potential advantages for institutional investors seeking regulated access to these assets. Community responses are notable by absence, with silence from Grayscale’s CEO Michael Sonnenshein, Polkadot’s Gavin Wood, and Cardano’s Charles Hoskinson on social media and official channels. The absence of comments might reflect a cautious stance amidst regulatory scrutiny. Polkadot and Cardano Pricing Amid Grayscale’s ETF Filings Did you know?

Google to face modest EU antitrust fine for its adtech business

Google to face modest EU antitrust fine for its adtech business

The post Google to face modest EU antitrust fine for its adtech business appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google is reportedly expected to face an EU antitrust penalty in the coming weeks on allegations of anti-competitive practices in its adtech business. A Reuters report citing three sources familiar with the matter indicates that Google will face a “modest” fine subsequently marking a shift in EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera’s stance on Big Tech violations from predecessor Margrethe Vestager’s heavy-handedness, focusing on harsh penalties. The EU wants Google and peers to comply with regulations This comes after a four-year long investigation which was a result of a complaint from the European Publishers Council, which led to charges against the search engine giant in 2023. The allegations levelled against Google were that it favoured its own advertising services ahead of its competitors. According to the sources, Ribera’s focus is on getting tech firms to end anti-competitive practices as opposed to punishing them with hefty fines. As a result, the fine is expected not to be in the scale of a record 4.3 billion euro that was imposed on Google by the bloc’s competition enforcer in 2018 over using its Android mobile operating system to suppress competitors. Earlier in 2017, Google was also hit with a 2.42-billion-euro penalty for using its own price comparison shopping service to gain an unfair advantage over smaller European competitors. In 2019, the search engine giant was slapped with a 1.49 billion euro fine for abusing its dominance to stop websites using brokers other than its AdSense platform. The EU competition enforcer did not comment on the matter. Google referred to a 2023 blog post in which it criticized the Commission for what it termed a flawed understanding of the adtech sector, adding that publishers and advertisers have vast options. Last year, Google’s advertising revenue, including from search services, Google Play, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google…

‘Red September’ Is Coming—Here’s What to Expect From the Bitcoin Market

‘Red September’ Is Coming—Here’s What to Expect From the Bitcoin Market

The post ‘Red September’ Is Coming—Here’s What to Expect From the Bitcoin Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Bitcoin has dropped 3.77% on average each September since 2013, with eight monthly crashes in 11 years. Seasonal pressures—from fund rebalancing to Fed policy jitters—fuel risk-off sentiment that spills over from stocks into crypto. This year’s setup adds war, sticky inflation, and Fed uncertainty, making $105K the line in the sand for traders. Bitcoin is trading sideways as August winds down, and crypto traders are doing what they do every year around this time: preparing for pain. The phenomenon known as “Red September,” or “The September Effect,” has haunted markets for nearly a century. The S&P 500 has averaged negative returns in September since 1928, making it the index’s only consistently negative month. Bitcoin’s track record is worse—the cryptocurrency has fallen an average of 3.77% each September since 2013, crashing eight times according to data from Coinglass. “The pattern is predictable: negative social media chatter spikes around August 25, followed by increased Bitcoin deposits to exchanges within 48-72 hours,” Yuri Berg, a consultant at the Swiss-based crypto liquidity provider FinchTrade, told Decrypt. “Red September has gone from market anomaly to monthly psychology experiment. We’re watching an entire market talk itself into a selloff based on history rather than current fundamentals.” Image: Coinglass The mechanics behind Red September trace back to structural market behaviors that converge each fall. Mutual funds close their fiscal years in September, triggering tax-loss harvesting and portfolio rebalancing that floods markets with sell orders. Summer vacation season ends, bringing traders back to desks where they reassess positions after months of thin liquidity. Bond issuances surge post-Labor Day, pulling capital from equities and risk assets as institutions rotate into fixed income. The Federal Open Market Committee holds its September meeting, creating uncertainty that freezes buying until policy direction clarifies. In crypto, these pressures compound: Bitcoin’s 24/7…
