Avalanche (AVAX) Price Prediction: AVAX Breakout Setup Points to $10.50, $12.80, and $15

Tech　　Avalanche (AVAX) Price Prediction: AVAX Breakout Setup Points to $10.50, $12.80, and $15　　AVAX price turns towards a breakout watch as AVAX trades near $9.28, with $10.20–$10.50 acting as the key range high and $14.50–$15 sitting as the next major upside target.　　AVAX price hasnt shown a clean breakout yet, but the structure is starting to compress, which usually means a bigger move is coming. According to Brave New Coin data, Avalanche is trading around $9.28, with a market cap of nearly $4 billion. The 24-hour chart shows AVAX moving between roughly $9.17 and $9.47, keeping price inside the same broader range.　　AVAX Staking Activity Shows Long-Term Confidence　　The network side still gives Avalanche a stronger long-term argument. Nazoku highlighted that the total staked supply of Avalanche-2 native has reached 44.66% of the network, indicating that a large share of the supply remains locked in staking.　　That matters because staking usually reflects longer-term conviction. Even while AVAX price remains stuck near lower levels, a strong staking ratio suggests that many holders are still choosing to secure the network rather than keep tokens liquid on exchanges.　　However, the same update also pointed out that a significant amount of AVAX is expected to be unstaked through June and

Base Launches MCP Gateway Letting Claude and ChatGPT Execute Onchain DeFi Actions

The release generated speculation about a potential BASE token, but no token announcement accompanied the launch. Earlier Base MCP server code published on Github has since been deprecated and replaced by the current integration.　　Setup requires installing Base MCP in any MCP-compatible AI client and authenticating with a Base Account. From there, users interact with the blockchain directly through their existing AI tools.　　The product reduces friction for users who want onchain access without switching between multiple applications. It keeps the approval authority with the user at every step. Base has indicated that additional skill plugins and ecosystem integrations are planned, and it encouraged builders to develop their own using the published specification framework.　　Bases move comes at a time when agentic AI applications geared toward the crypto industry are being built at a feverish pace.

Phishing Scammers Net $400K With Fake Uniswap Google Ads

The two flagged addresses held a combined 146 ETH worth around $306,000, at the time of writing, according to Etherscan.　　DeFiLlama said that “fake ads on Google are a common source of phishing attacks.” The crypto non-profit group Security Alliance (SEAL) reported in April that there was a “significant uptick” in phishing activity on Google search in March.　　SEAL said that attackers pay Google or hack legitimate advertiser accounts to run convincing fake ads impersonating popular crypto protocols to lure users. Threat actors outbid legitimate crypto exchanges and protocols to achieve a superior position within the “Sponsored results” section on Google Search.　　SEAL blocked over 356 malicious advertisement links, a number which is “representative of a steady volume of attacker-deployed Google Ads each week for more than a year,” it added. “The campaign is not slowing down, and we are receiving more reports from affected users.”　　The phishing ads used legitimate-looking URLs to bypass Google‘s automated checks, while a hidden secondary iframe loads the malicious payload, also invisible to Google’s detection.　　Victims land on convincing clones of real crypto apps, with all network traffic secretly routed through attacker-controlled servers, explained SEAL, reporting that $1.27 million in total funds were stolen between March 13 and 30.　　In

While Ethereum And Tron Deliver Modest Gains, Turbos 90-Day Presale Could Set Up Potential 600x Upside

Ethereum　　While Ethereum And Tron Deliver Modest Gains, Turbos 90-Day Presale Could Set Up Potential 600x Upside　　The crypto market is moving, but not everything is moving equally. Ethereum‘s ETH price forecast points to a slow grind toward recovery, while Tron price holds near eight-month highs without breaking decisively higher. Both are established networks delivering modest, measured gains. Meanwhile BlockDAG just launched Turbo, a fixed-supply utility token with casino mechanics, staking, VIP access, NFT layers, and a weekly burn engine, at a ground-floor presale price of $0.0005. The best crypto to buy right now isn’t the one already priced into the market. Its the one with a 90-day presale window, ten rising rounds, and exchange listings not yet arrived. That window just opened.　　90 Days, 10 Rounds: Turbo Turns on High Stakes Presale　　Turbo‘s presale just opened, and it is an exclusive affair. BlockDAG’s first native utility token launched at $0.0005 in Round 1, stepping to $0.0008 in Round 2, with ten rounds total across a strict 90-day window. Each round is smaller and pricier than the last. When Round 10 closes, the presale price is gone permanently.　　What follows is exchange listings, and the retail wave that reprices everything overnight potentially ushering in 600x

ETH Price Prediction: $1,950 Retest Before Bounce as Bulls Get Squeezed

The Immediate Setup　　Ethereum is bleeding slowly but steadily, trading 17% below its 200-day moving average at $2,535 while momentum indicators flash warning signs. With RSI at 38.19 and sitting just above oversold territory, the selling pressure isn‘t panic-driven yet, but it’s persistent. The MACD flatline at zero signals complete momentum exhaustion, creating a coiled spring effect that historically precedes violent moves in either direction.　　Current price action at $2,100 puts ETH dangerously close to the lower Bollinger Band at $2,009, where Blockchain.news data shows previous major reversals have occurred. The 24-hour volume of $339 million reflects institutional disinterest rather than retail capitulation, suggesting the real test lies ahead.　　Key Levels Exposed　　The immediate battlefield centers on $2,076 support, which aligns perfectly with recent swing lows and the psychological $2,000 level. Break this, and ETH faces an unobstructed path to $1,950-$2,000, where the lower Bollinger Band will likely provide the final stand for bulls.　　Upside resistance tells an equally compelling story. The 7-day SMA at $2,108 has already been breached, while the 20-day at $2,199 now serves as the primary rejection zone. Any sustainable recovery needs to reclaim $2,166 resistance with conviction, followed by a push toward $2,300 where the 50-day moving average waits.　　The technical

Australian Dollar declines as annual CPI inflation falls in April

Finance　　Australian Dollar declines as annual CPI inflation falls in April　　AUD/USD extends its gains for the second successive day, trading around 0.7160 during the Asian hours on Wednesday. The pair declines as the Australian Dollar (AUD) loses ground following the release of domestic inflation data.　　Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) showed on Wednesday that Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 4.2% year-over-year (YoY), down from the market consensus of 4.4%. It came down from 4.6% in the 12 months to March 2026. The monthly Consumer Price Index came in at 0.4% in April, compared to the previous reading of 1.1%. The RBA Trimmed Mean CPI for April rose 0.3% and 3.4% on a monthly and annual basis, respectively.　　The downside of the AUD/USD pair could be restrained as the US Dollar (USD) inches lower on fading safe-haven demand, as traders remain hopeful that the United States (US) and Iran could still secure an agreement despite renewed tensions in the Middle East.　　Irans foreign ministry has condemned recent US airstrikes in the southern Hormozgan province, labeling them a “gross violation” of a tenuous, seven-week-old ceasefire. The statement followed reports from Iranian media of explosions echoing through the region early Tuesday morning. Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei

Iran Uranium Transfer Report Puts Nuclear Fuel Market Back in Focus

Tech　　Iran Uranium Transfer Report Puts Nuclear Fuel Market Back in Focus　　Irans uranium has been back in the spotlight after reports that it could be selling highly enriched uranium to China as part of a possible deal with the United States.　　The claim coincided with the ongoing increase in nuclear fuel prices, which further complicated the already tight uranium market.　　Meanwhile, traders of uranium said long-term U3O8 prices were near $93 per pound, the highest since April 2008. Now, the market is confronted with two different but related factors: nuclear diplomacy in the Middle East and the growing demand for a safe uranium supply.　　Iran Report Focuses on Nuclear Issue　　Iran is prepared to export highly enriched uranium to another country, preferably China, reports said. The proposed plan would be contingent on assurances from Beijing before Tehran takes any further steps with Washington.　　The claim came after pressure from President Donald Trump, who stated that Irans enriched uranium should be handed over to the United States for destruction or destroyed under international supervision.　　Other reports indicated that U.S. officials have considered several options for Irans enriched uranium, such as moving it to another country before it is eventually placed under U.S. control or letting Iran dilute and

Ripple News: XRP Ledger Moves To Launch New Upgrade This Week

Tech　　Ripple News: XRP Ledger Moves To Launch New Upgrade This Week　　The XRP Ledger community is nearing an important upgrade deadline, per latest Ripple news updates. The activation window for v3.1.3 expires on May 27, so validators, exchanges, NFT platforms and node operators need to upgrade to v3.1.3 in time.　　Ripple News: XRP Ledger Community Gears Up For New Upgrade　　Older servers may end up being amendment blocked after the new XRP Ledger upgrade kicks in. This can cause affected nodes to not synchronize with the network, or to process transactions incorrectly.　　The infrastructure providers were asked to upgrade as soon as possible by XRP Ledger validator Vet. At the time of the warning, many operators were still lagging in upgrades, he added.　　The amendment system of XRPL is responsible for the addition of changes to the blockchain. At least 80% of the trusted validators need to support amendments for two consecutive weeks prior to their activation.　　When activated, servers that have been outdated are unable to keep up with the current network rules. Those servers will automatically be excluded and will be excluded as long as compatible software is not installed.　　Only approximately 40% of the network has received the update, Vet said when posting the

New Zealand Dollar gathers strength as RBNZ leaves the rate on hold at 2.25%

Finance　　New Zealand Dollar gathers strength as RBNZ leaves the rate on hold at 2.25%　　The NZD/USD pair attracts some buyers to near 0.5870 during the Asian trading hours on Wednesday. The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) edges higher against the US Dollar (USD) after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) interest rate decision.　　As widely expected, the RBNZ decided to hold its Official Cash Rate (OCR) at 2.25% after concluding the May monetary policy meeting on Wednesday. The New Zealand central bank said in its post-meeting statement that the committee remains focused on bringing medium-term inflation back to target and expects that OCR increases will be required this year.　　All members agreed that increasing the interest rate at upcoming meetings would likely be necessary to ensure higher near-term inflation does not feed through to higher medium-term inflation.　　Traders will closely monitor RBNZ Governor Dr. Anna Bremans post-monetary policy meeting press conference at 03:00 GMT for more clues about the interest rate hike outlook this year.　　“Our current forecast is for 50 basis points (bps) of tightening in 2026, though this is highly dependent on energy market dynamics. Swap market pricing is 21 bps for July and 75 bps by year-end,” INGs FX strategists said.　　The attention
