PIPPIN retests KEY level after 10% price drop - Will bulls step in?

Tech  PIPPIN retests KEY level after 10% price drop – Will bulls step in?  Pippin [PIPPIN] has cooled off after three straight days of gains as the token slipped 10% over the past 24 hours, at press time. The pullback followed a strong rebound from the last demand zone, where buyers stepped in and pushed prices higher. That recovery has now paused, but the broader setup has not fully broken down.  What matters most here is that the token has returned to the same demand zone, and, so far, it is still holding. Price is correcting, but it has not lost the level that supported the earlier bounce. That makes the short-term structure fragile but still intact.  Liquidations have reset part of the move  The latest pullback has already cleared a portion of overheated positioning. Long liquidations have reached roughly 270K during the correction, which suggests some weaker bullish exposure has already been flushed out.  That kind of reset often matters more than the drop itself. When long positions get cleared while the price remains above support, the market can become less crowded and more stable. In simple terms, the correction removes excess leverage without fully damaging the structure.  This is typically where reversals begin, only if

NEAR Technical Analysis Apr 28

Tech  NEAR Technical Analysis Apr 28  NEAR Protocols current market structure is moving in a horizontal consolidation without showing a clear higher highs/higher lows (HH/HL) or lower highs/lower lows (LH/LL) pattern recently. The price is stuck in the $1.33-$1.37 range with current price $1.34 and a 24-hour change of % -1.04. This sideways structure keeps both bullish and bearish scenarios open due to the lack of trend clarity, but its position below EMA20 ($1.36) strengthens the short-term bearish bias. In market structure analysis, swing points and break of structure (BOS) levels play a determining role: $1.3282 swing low (90/100 score) is strong support, $1.3610 swing high (68/100 score) stands out as resistance. RSI at 48.10 is in the neutral zone, MACD with negative histogram confirms bearish momentum. In multi-timeframe (MTF) structure, 5 supports/1 resistance level detected on 1D timeframe; neutral structure dominates on 3D and 1W. Overall, the absence of a clear trend increases CHoCH (change of character) potential – monitor break above $1.3610 for upward BOS, below $1.3282 for downward.  Trend Analysis: Uptrend or Downtrend?Uptrend Signals  For an uptrend, a classic HH/HL structure needs to form: holding above the recent swing low at $1.3282 and forming new higher highs and higher lows.

Over Protocol’s lights go out, leaving a “decentralized” shell behind

Over Foundation has shut down all Over Protocol infrastructure, abandoning OverWallet, nodes and explorers, and leaving block production to any validators stubborn enough to keep running.Over Foundation says “insurmountable financial constraints” forced it to permanently cease operations, killing OverWallet, OverNode, OverFlex, RPC endpoints, block explorers, and public APIs with immediate effect.The Layer 1 was pitched as a way for ordinary users to run validators on personal computers, but with all foundation‑run infra offline, the chains survival now depends entirely on whether independent node operators keep producing blocks.The shutdown folds Over Protocol into a growing list of underfunded L1s and DeFi projects that failed to outlast the consolidation cycle, exposing how fragile foundation‑dependent “decentralization” becomes once the treasury runs dry.v  The Over Foundation announced it will permanently cease operations of Over Protocol, a Layer 1 blockchain network, citing insurmountable financial constraints that have forced the immediate shutdown of all infrastructure and services. The foundation confirmed it has discontinued OverWallet, OverNode, OverFlex, RPC nodes, block explorers, and all related APIs, with no plans for recovery or restart.

XAU/USD slides 1.85% to defend $4,600 ahead of the Fed decision

Technical Analysis  In the fifteen-minute chart, XAU/USD trades at $4,595.84, extending a corrective pullback below the days open at $4,697.98 and keeping a modest bearish intraday tone as price remains capped by that overhead reference. The Stochastic RSI has retreated sharply from overbought territory toward mid-range readings, suggesting waning upside momentum after earlier gains and reinforcing the idea that rallies may struggle while the metal trades under the session open.  On the topside, the days open at $4,697.98 acts as the first notable resistance, and a sustained break above this level would be needed to ease the current capped bias and reopen the path toward higher intraday highs. On the downside, immediate levels are less well-defined on this timeframe, so short-term traders may instead focus on intrabar price action and momentum swings, with further Stochastic RSI softening hinting that additional downside probes cannot be ruled out while spot remains below the $4,700 region.  In the daily chart, XAU/USD trades at $4,595.84, consolidating between its major exponential moving averages as near-term direction turns neutral. The price holds well above the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at around $4,325.77, which suggests the broader uptrend remains intact, yet it trades below the 50-day EMA at roughly

SEC Reviews NYSE Arca Rule Shift Opening Door for XRP ETF

Tech  SEC Reviews NYSE Arca Rule Shift Opening Door for XRP ETFSEC reviews NYSE Arca rule change easing crypto ETF listings with stricter asset standards.XRP appears alongside BTC, ETH, and SOL in ETF models under the proposed regulated framework rules.New ETF proposal requires 85% regulated assets while allowing limited exposure to other tokens.  U.S. regulators are reviewing a proposed rule change that could reshape how crypto exchange-traded funds are listed and who can access them through traditional markets, including exposure linked to XRP.  The Securities and Exchange Commission published the notice on April 27, 2026, after NYSE Arca filed changes to its commodity-based trust share framework in New York. The proposal seeks to make ETF listings easier while tightening the quality rules for the assets inside those funds.  The filing says ETF issuers could get approval more quickly if most of the assets they hold already meet regulatory standards. It uses example portfolios that include XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and gold to show how the new rules would work in practice. As a result, XRP now sits in the same comparison group as major crypto assets that already trade under regulated futures and surveillance frameworks.

Why are Coreweave, SoftBank, Broadcom, AMD, Nvidia, and Oracle stocks crashing?

Coreweave (CRWV), SoftBank Group (9984.T), Broadcom (AVGO), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Nvidia (NVDA), and Oracle (ORCL) fell because traders are no longer treating OpenAIs spending plans like free money.  A report said OpenAI has not hit some of its own growth and sales goals, and that was enough to hit the whole AI infrastructure trade on Tuesday.  The damage was not small. Oracle dropped 4%, even with its $300 billion five-year compute partnership with OpenAI still in place. Broadcom lost 4%. AMD fell 3%.  Nvidia slipped more than 1%. Qualcomm (QCOM) went down 0.2%, though it finished above its weakest level after getting some help Monday from reports that it is working with OpenAI on smartphone chips.  Coreweave, the debt-heavy neocloud stock tied closely to AI compute demand, fell more than 5%. SoftBank, one of OpenAIs largest investors, sank about 10% in Asia.  OpenAI misses growth targets and investors sell the companies tied to its compute demand  The report said OpenAI has recently missed its own targets for user growth and revenue. That matters because OpenAI has signed massive deals for data centers and long-term computing power.  OpeAIs finance chief Sarah Friar warned colleagues that slower sales could make it harder for OpenAI to fund future compute

CFTC sues Wisconsin in agencys legal campaign defending prediction markets authority

Wisconsin has joined the growing number of U.S. states being sued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as that agency insists on its jurisdiction over prediction markets trading at firms such as Kalshi and Crypto.com.  Several states have gone after those businesses, accusing them of violating state gaming laws via the betting taking place on the growing platforms, but CFTC Chairman Mike Selig has led a legal pushback against states including New York, Arizona, Illinois and Connecticut. He‘s argued that the derivatives regulator, which he leads as the sole member of what’s meant to be a five-member commission, has “exclusive jurisdiction” over the trading of event contracts that he argues are an emerging form of the same kinds of derivatives activity long handled by the CFTC.  Last week, Wisconsin sued Kalshi, Coinbase, Polymarket, Robinhood and Crypto.com for running unlicensed gambling operations in the state — echoing the claims made against the industry elsewhere.  Selig has now responded in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, said hes trying to send a message: “If you interfere with the operation of federal law in regulating financial markets, we will sue you.”  Also last week, New York sued Coinbase and Gemini over their prediction

Tether introduced a modular Bitcoin mining system built with Canaan and ACME Swisstech on Tuesday. The company said it redesigned mining hardware to separate compute, power, and enclosure components. The move expands Tethers direct role in bitcoin infrastructure beyond stablecoin issuance.  Tether Partners with Canaan and ACME to Redesign Mining Hardware  Tether structured the new systems around application-specific hash board modules rather than sealed mining rigs. The company integrates those modules into its own control architecture and cooling systems. It also manages the software stack to coordinate performance and power use.  The company said it separates compute units from power supply and enclosures to optimize each element independently. It pairs the architecture with immersion cooling to cut energy overhead and improve uptime. CEO Paolo Ardoino said, “Most mining infrastructure is still

GBP/USD steady ahead of double-header Fed-BoE decision

In the fifteen-minute chart, GBP/USD trades at 1.3519, retaining a mildly bearish intraday tone as it holds below the days open at 1.3538, which now acts as immediate resistance. The latest Stochastic RSI reading has eased back toward the lower half of its range, hinting that earlier overbought conditions have faded and that upside momentum has cooled while price remains capped beneath the opening level.  On the topside, a recovery above the day open at 1.3538 would be needed to alleviate the current pressure and open the way for a more sustained rebound. On the downside, the absence of nearby measured supports on this timeframe suggests that any renewed selling could see the pair slide toward uncharted intraday levels, with momentum gauges like the Stochastic RSI helping to track whether bearish pressure is intensifying or stabilizing.  In the daily chart, GBP/USD trades at 1.3518, holding a constructive bullish bias as it remains above both the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.3440 and the 200-day EMA at 1.3387. The short-term EMA stays above the longer-term gauge, suggesting an underlying upward structure, while the Stochastic RSI hovering around 65 hints that bullish momentum is still present but no longer in extreme overbought territory.

DOJ Intervened in xAI Colorado AI Law Case

Tech  DOJ Intervened in xAI Colorado AI Law Case  The U.S. Department of Justice escalated the legal dispute by intervening on Friday in xAI‘s lawsuit targeting Colorado’s artificial intelligence discrimination law. Elon Musk‘s xAI company argues that the algorithmic discrimination obligations of SB24-205 violate the Constitution, while the department claims it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The law’s requirement for companies to prevent unintended disparate impacts based on protected characteristics like race and gender has drawn DOJ‘s reaction. This move clarifies the Trump administration’s stance on restricting state AI rules.  xAI‘s Legal Battle Against Colorado’s SB24-205 Law  Colorado, with SB24-205 adopted in 2024, targeted companies using high-risk AI in hiring, student admissions, and mortgage decisions. Companies will have to assess discrimination risks, explain systems, and notify consumers about AI use; the law takes effect on June 30. xAI claimed in its lawsuit that the regulation would drag AIs into ideological biases. Deputy Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon emphasized that involving companies in radical left ideology is illegal. Cody Barela, partner at Colorado-based Armstrong Teasdale, thinks the departments argument about burdensome regulations slowing the AI race might be more effective in court than a constitutional defense. Barela added that harming U.S.
