Sui price retreats from $1.40 resistance, are bulls preparing for another breakout?

Sui price, Supertrend, and MACD chart — May 14 | Source: crypto.news　　The current pullback now places focus on whether bulls can successfully defend the important support zone between $1.18 and $1.20, which aligns closely with the latest breakout structure and short-term consolidation range.　　A look at the Supertrend indicator continues to support the bullish outlook. Notably, the indicator recently flipped bullish on the daily timeframe and currently remains well below price action, signaling that buyers still maintain broader trend control despite the latest retracement.　　Momentum indicators also continue to favor the bulls overall. The MACD remains in bullish territory following a strong positive crossover earlier this month, though the histogram has started gradually flattening, suggesting upward momentum may be cooling after the recent vertical rally.　　If SUI successfully stabilizes above the $1.20 region, bulls could soon attempt another move toward the key $1.40 resistance zone. A decisive breakout above that area could potentially open the door for a larger rally toward the psychological $1.50 level and higher resistance regions not seen since late 2025.　　On the downside, failure to hold above current support levels could trigger a deeper short-term correction toward the previous breakout zone near $1.05, where buyers may attempt to reestablish momentum.　　For

RIVER Crypto Breakout Alert: Can RIVER Extend Gains Beyond $8?

The post RIVER Crypto Breakout Alert: Can RIVER Extend Gains Beyond $8？ appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News　　RIVER crypto is rapidly emerging as one of the markets strongest low-cap movers after posting a sharp intraday rally and breaking above a key consolidation range. The token climbed nearly 8% over the past 24 hours, supported by aggressive futures activity and improving market-wide risk sentiment.　　But beyond the RIVER price surge, traders are closely watching the quality of the move itself. After spending weeks trapped inside a broad sideways structure, RIVER is now attempting a significant breakout, one that could potentially shift short-term momentum firmly back in favor of bulls. With volume accelerating and buyers defending higher lows, the key question is whether RIVER is preparing for a larger continuation rally above the critical $8 threshold.　　Derivatives Activity Signals Fresh Market Participation　　Data from CoinGlass showed a substantial increase in trading activity during the latest rally.

Ethereum Price Prediction: Can ETH Rally Above $3,000? Analyst Weighs In

Traders are watching a major ascending triangle pattern that could send the ETH price back toward the $3,000 level.Ethereum on-chain activity is climbing again, with active addresses and transactions hitting strong levels.Despite ETF outflows and macro pressure, the ETH price continues holding key support zones across multiple timeframes.　　Ethereum has been playing with traders emotions for many months now. The price would go up, but never gain momentum and be stuck in consolidation after an enormous sell-off in early 2026.　　Now the atmosphere concerning Ethereum is beginning to shift once more. Traders are watching the charts much more closely because ETH is pressing against a major resistance zone, and the overall structure looks far healthier than it did a few months ago.　　Traders think the ETH price is coiling for a breakout　　One of the bullish takes came from crypto trader Ray, who pointed out that Ethereum is trading inside a large ascending triangle pattern. In simple terms, ETH keeps printing higher lows underneath the market while repeatedly running into resistance near the same price area around $2,400-$2,450　　That kind of setup usually gets traders excited because ascending triangles often lead to strong breakout moves once resistance finally gives way. In this case, the projected

CLARITY Act Faces Growing Scrutiny as Senate Markup Begins

Senate Democrats intensified criticism of the CLARITY Act on May 14, 2026, warning that the market structure bill could leave major illicit finance vulnerabilities unresolved as the Senate Banking Committee began debating the legislation. The pressure campaign coincided with a separate request from Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed for a federal investigation into World Liberty Financial (WLF).　　The markup adds urgency to the fight over the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act. The Senate Banking Committee is currently debating the bill. Lawmakers are weighing a revised 309-page draft backed by Chairman Tim Scott and Senators Cynthia Lummis and Thom Tillis, with more than 130 amendments filed. Warren submitted 44 amendments, including one aimed at political corruption in banking applications. The draft also includes a compromise and added housing language, underscoring the effort to assemble support before Memorial Day recess and keep a potential summer floor vote alive.　　The advisory released by the Senate Banking Committee minority staff stated:　　“As Congress considers market structure legislation, it must protect Americans by closing known illicit finance vulnerabilities in our own system and lay the foundation for pressing other countries to do the same. It must avoid creating new carveouts that can be exploited by sanctions evaders,

AI Agents May Complete Dangerous Tasks Without Understanding the Consequences: Study

Researchers found AI agents often carried out unsafe or irrational tasks while staying focused on completing the assignment.The study identified a behavior called “blind goal-directedness,” where AI systems prioritize finishing tasks over recognizing potential risks or problems.Researchers warned that the issue could become more serious as AI agents gain access to emails, cloud services, financial tools, and workplace systems.　　AI agents designed to autonomously operate like human users often continue carrying out tasks even when the instructions become dangerous, contradictory, or irrational, according to researchers from UC Riverside, Microsoft Research, Microsoft AI Red Team, and Nvidia.　　In a study published on Wednesday, researchers called the behavior “blind goal-directedness,” which describes the tendency of AI agents to pursue goals without properly evaluating safety, consequences, feasibility, or context.　　“Like Mr. Magoo, these agents march forward toward a goal without fully understanding the consequences of their actions,” lead author Erfan Shayegani, a UC Riverside doctoral student, said in a statement. “These agents can be extremely useful, but we need safeguards because they can sometimes prioritize achieving the goal over understanding the bigger picture.”　　The findings come as major AI companies develop autonomous “computer-use agents” designed to handle workplace and personal tasks with limited supervision.　　Unlike traditional chatbots, these

Ripple insider warns XRP holders as fake airdrop scams surge across XRPL

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is seeing a drastic rise in fraud attempts targeting its users as the network draws more institutional activity, higher transaction volumes, and renewed attention from XRP traders.　　On May 14, David Schwartz, the former chief technology officer at Ripple, published a public warning regarding the increasing scam efforts targeting the XRPL ecosystem.　　Schwartz, a highly visible figure within the community, cautioned users that malicious actors are increasingly deploying fake airdrops and impersonation accounts to drain user funds.　　The XRP Ledger Foundation issued a similar warning, saying that scams targeting the XRP community had increased sharply. The foundation urged users to avoid airdrops, giveaways, and fake customer support offers on X, where impersonation campaigns often move quickly around trending XRP narratives.　　The warnings come as XRPL activity, institutional tokenization experiments, and XRP market flows have drawn renewed attention to the network.　　That attention has also created a wider opening for fraudsters, who are increasingly packaging old scams in the language of airdrops, governance votes, DeFi rewards, and institutional adoption.　　XRP-themed characters stand in a police-style lineup as a sheriff investigates an alleged fake airdrop scam targeting XRPL users.Scam reports rise across XRP social channels　　The most common pattern of these scams involves impersonation accounts

BoE’s Pill: Cannot say now if rate rise would only be temporary

Bank of England (BoE) MPC member, Huw Pill, said that he does not expect second-round effects to be as strong as in 2022, and also that the second-round effects are behavioral, affected by what the BoE does next. He spoke at an event hosted by NatWest on Thursday.　　Key quotes:　　We must not allow ourselves to drift off into deep space of unmoored inflation dynamics.　　I do not expect 2nd round effects to be as strong as in 2022.　　Labour market weakness means second round effects likely to be weaker than in 2022.　　Latest GDP data shows some robustness.　　Not clear labour market is as loose as when there were oil price spikes in 2008 or 2011.　　Tighter financial conditions do not get BoE out of question of whether to raise rates itself.　　Prompt but modest increase in rates advantageous.　　Second-round effects are behavioural, affected by what BoE does.　　If you wait until market forces you to move, that would be more challenging to BoE.　　Cannot say now if rate rise would only be temporary or a plateau for rates.　　Fiscal and global situation are influencing long-term market rates as well as inflation outlook.
