Ripple Spikes +2%, Outperforming BTC and ETH in Breakout Move

Bitcoin Ethereum　　Ripple Spikes +2%, Outperforming BTC and ETH in Breakout Move　　XRP Ripple has cleared a resistance ceiling that had turned back multiple rally attempts since April, surging 2.5% to trade around $1.45 while Bitcoin and Ethereum posted comparatively muted gains. The move came fast, and the volume behind it raised eyebrows. Whether the breakout holds or fades into another false start depends on one level that traders are watching closely right now.　　The token climbed from $1.4176 to a session high of $1.5073 before profit-taking trimmed the advance, leaving XRP holding near the $1.45 area that previously acted as a ceiling. Critically, the breakout acceleration yesterday arrived with volume surging above $169M, a reading consistent with institutional-scale positioning rather than retail momentum chasing.　　XRP had spent days compressing inside a tightening range, with analysts flagging bull flag and triangle formations building just beneath that resistance. The setup was textbook. The execution was sharp.　　Broader conditions amplified the move. Thin liquidity across major exchanges had been flagged ahead of the session, meaning any confirmed break could produce exaggerated prints in either direction. XRP traded within a 6.5% intraday range, wide by recent standards, underscoring how quickly sentiment shifted once sellers were cleared out.　　(SOURCE: TradingView)　　Can

Is AI Hype Driving Venice Token Too Fast, Is it Becoming Overheated Now?

Tech　　Is AI Hype Driving Venice Token Too Fast, Is it Becoming Overheated Now？　　The post Is AI Hype Driving Venice Token Too Fast, Is it Becoming Overheated Now？ appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News　　The Venice Token price rally is starting to look less like a random altcoin pump and more like a carefully engineered supply squeeze wrapped in the hottest narrative crypto can sell right now: decentralized AI.　　VVV surged another 18% today after Venice CTO Jesse Proudman revealed that subscription and credit purchases on AskVenice hit a new record, beating the previous high by 10%. Traders clearly liked that. Maybe a little too much.　　Venice Token Supply Shock Keeps Growing　　The real ignition point came earlier this month. On May 1, Venice cut annual token emissions from 6 million VVV to 5 million, marking the first phase of a broader reduction plan targeting 3 million by July. Less supply. Same speculative appetite. You know how this movie usually goes.　　Then came the aggressive burn mechanism update on April 27. New Pro subscriptions now burn $2 worth of VVV instead of $1, directly tightening circulating supply as platform usage rises. Convenient timing.　　And well, here‘s the kicker: VVV already pushed to a 16-month high near $16

Internet Computer price rallied 70% in a week, will it extend its gains?

The rally also pushed ICP sharply above the Supertrend indicator, which has now flipped green for the first time since January, signaling that bullish momentum may be regaining long-term control.　　Momentum indicators continue to support the bullish structure despite signs of short-term overheating. The MACD recently completed a strong bullish crossover while the histogram continues printing expanding green bars, suggesting upward momentum remains intact.　　ICP is now attempting to stabilize above the psychological $3.50 region after briefly touching highs near $3.75. If bulls maintain control above the breakout zone near $3.00, the next major resistance could emerge around the $4.00 to $4.10 region, which previously acted as a strong rejection zone earlier this year.　　On the downside, failure to hold above the $3.00 support region could trigger profit-taking and pull Internet Computer price back toward the previous consolidation range near $2.60 before another potential upward move.　　Internet Computer surged nearly 70% in a week after DFINITY unveiled fully on-chain WordPress hosting and a plan to cut ICP inflation by 70%.

CoreWeave Stock Analysis: 3 Key Levels After Earnings

On the daily timeframe, CRWV closed at 114.15. That is below the 20-day EMA at 115.21, but still above the 50-day EMA at 103.68 and the 200-day EMA at 95.25. In practical terms, the stock has lost immediate trend support. However, it has not broken the larger uptrend structure.　　The daily regime remains neutral. That fits a market pausing after a sharp repricing rather than fully reversing. Daily RSI stands at 51.71, which is near the middle of the range. Therefore, momentum looks balanced rather than exhausted in either direction.　　Momentum and volatility on the daily chart　　At the same time, the daily MACD line at 7.98 has slipped just below the signal line at 8.12. The histogram is slightly negative at -0.14. That suggests upside momentum has faded and that CRWV is still digesting the recent earnings-driven setback.　　Notably, price also sits below the daily Bollinger middle band at 118.1, while remaining above the lower band at 103.35. This places CoreWeave stock in the lower half of its recent volatility range. Still, it has not reached a clear washout level on the daily chart.　　Daily ATR is 10.19. That is elevated enough to remind traders that the shares are still moving aggressively and can

The company enters with more than $4 billion in initial investment—and a $10 billion valuation—backed by 19 firms including TPG, Goldman Sachs, SoftBank, Capgemini, and McKinsey & Company.　　The model is borrowed directly from Palantirs playbook: Forward deployed engineers, or FDEs, parachute into client organizations and live inside the complexity—legacy infrastructure, compliance constraints, convoluted permissions—rather than shipping software and leaving the implementation headache to someone else.　　To staff the new entity from day one, OpenAI has agreed to acquire Tomoro, a U.K.-based applied AI consulting firm with deployments at Tesco, Virgin Atlantic, and Supercell, where its engineers built an in-game support agent serving 110 million users in 12 weeks.

US Dollar Index: DXY trading in range as inflation eyed – ING

Finance　　US Dollar Index: DXY trading in range as inflation eyed – ING　　INGs Chris Turner notes the Dollar has started the week slightly stronger as hopes for a Middle East ceasefire fade and Oil prices jump. He highlights US April Consumer Price Index (CPI) as the key release, with expectations for higher headline and core inflation. Turner sees the Federal Reserve (Fed) staying cautious and US Dollar Index (DXY) likely confined to a 98.00-98.50 range.　　Dollar supported by stagflationary backdrop　　“Barring some intense behind-the-scenes pressure from China to secure a deal, the market will continue to price an impasse, higher oil prices and a wave of global inflation.”　　“Headline inflation is expected to rise to 3.7% year-on-year (3.3%) while the core rate should rise to 2.7% (2.6%).”　　“Given that the full force of the stagflationary shock has yet to hit, we struggle to see the dollar selling off in a sustained fashion just yet.”　　“That probably means that DXY can bounce around in a 98.00-98.50 range for a while longer, while USD/JPY can creep back to 158 even though US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is in Japan early this week and will probably deliver supportive words to Japans FX intervention campaign.”

Australia Crypto Investors Face Possible CGT Tax Hike

Crypto　　Australia Crypto Investors Face Possible CGT Tax HikeTreasury may replace Australias 50% CGT discount with inflation indexation.Treasury estimates CGT concessions cost Australia AUD 21.8 billion yearly.Australia may limit negative gearing tax benefits to newly built homes under proposed reforms.　　Australia‘s government is considering major changes to capital gains tax (CGT) and negative gearing ahead of Tuesday’s Federal Budget, sparking debate across the investment sector.　　During an appearance on Sky News, Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the proposed reforms seek to tackle housing affordability and “intergenerational unfairness”. However, critics argue the changes could increase taxes on shares, crypto, and investment properties.　　Australia May Replace 50% CGT Discount　　Treasury is reportedly considering reducing Australias 50% CGT discount or replacing it with an inflation indexation model. Under current rules, Australians who hold assets for more than 12 months only pay tax on half of their capital gains. The remaining amount is taxed at their normal income tax rate.　　For example, someone who buys a house for AUD 500,000 and sells it for AUD 700,000 records an AUD 200,000 gain. With the current discount, only AUD 100,000 becomes taxable income.　　Treasury estimates the CGT discount will cost the government AUD 21.8 billion in forgone revenue during the 2025–26 financial year.　　However, Treasury

Japanese Yen: Choppy trade versus US Dollar around intervention line – OCBC

Finance　　Japanese Yen: Choppy trade versus US Dollar around intervention line – OCBC　　OCBCs FX Christopher Wong describes USD/JPY as a two-way trade after suspected Ministry of Finance (MoF) intervention capped gains near 160. He notes bearish daily momentum but says fundamentals are not decisively Japanese Yen (JPY)-positive, with higher Oil prices still a drag. The pair is expected to stay choppy, driven by Oil swings, with support from 155.40 and resistance up to 158.70.　　Intervention risk tempers upside bias　　“USD/JPY traded near recent lows last week. Price action remains a two-way trade after recent suspected MoF intervention helped cap upside near the 160-handle.”　　“While intervention risk may keep JPY shorts more cautious, the fundamental backdrop is not yet decisively JPY-positive. Higher oil prices remain a terms-of-trade drag on JPY. ”　　“Near term, USD/JPY may stay choppy, driven by swings in oil prices. Pair was last at 156.70 levels. Bearish momentum on daily chart intact while RSI was flat. 2-way trades likely to continue.”　　“Support at 155.40 (61.8% fibo retracement of 2026 low to high), 154.15/30 (200 DMA, 76.4% fibo). Resistance at 157.40 (100 DMA, 38.2% fibo), 158.70 levels (23.6% fibo, 21, 50 DMAs).”
