NYT Pips Today: Hints, Answers And Walkthrough For Wednesday, April 29

Another day, another trio of Pips puzzles to solve. If you‘re looking for a little help with today’s rather tricky Medium or Hard Pips, the answers are below as well as a walkthrough for the most challenging of the bunch. Lets solve these Pips!　　How To Play Pips　　In Pips, you have a grid of multicolored boxes. Each colored area represents a different “condition” that you have to achieve. You have a select number of dominoes that you have to spend filling in the grid. You must use every domino and achieve every condition properly to win. There are Easy, Medium and Difficult tiers.　　Heres an example of a difficult tier Pips:　　Screenshot: Erik Kain　　As you can see, the grid has a bunch of symbols and numbers with each color. On the far left, the three purple squares must not equal one another (hence the equal sign crossed out). The two pink squares next to that must equal a total of 0. The zig-zagging blue squares all must equal one another. You click on dominoes to rotate them, and will need to since they have to be rotated to fit where they belong.　　Not shown on this grid are other conditions, such as “less than”

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 buyers are still present.　　Source: CoinalyzeBuyer dominance remains, but pressure is building　　Even after

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.　　ETF Structure Rules Tighten Asset Composition　　NYSE Arca says at

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

NZD/USD slips ahead of Fed decision and RBNZ speech

Technical Analysis　　In the 15-minute chart, NZD/USD trades at 0.5885, keeping a bearish intraday tone as the pair holds below the daily open at 0.5915. With price unable to recover that overhead reference level, short-term action remains capped, while the Stochastic RSI easing back toward mid-range around 44 suggests fading upside momentum after earlier overbought readings.　　On the topside, the daily open at 0.5915 stands as immediate resistance and would need to be reclaimed to alleviate the current downside pressure and open the door to a corrective bounce. On the downside, the absence of nearby mapped supports leaves the pair vulnerable to further slippage, with traders likely watching for fresh price-based floors to emerge on subsequent dips.　　In the daily chart, NZD/USD trades at 0.5885, holding above both the 200-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), which sit clustered just below price around 0.5850–0.5860 and suggest a constructive near-term bias. The Stochastic RSI hovers in overbought territory near 74, hinting that upside momentum remains firm but may be vulnerable to a pause or shallow pullback after the latest advance.　　On the topside, immediate resistance is reinforced by the 200-period EMA at 0.5849, followed closely by the 50-period EMA at 0.5861, forming a nearby demand-turned-acceptance

USD/JPY treads water as the Fed decision looms

Technical Analysis　　In the fifteen-minute chart, USD/JPY trades at 159.62. The pair holds above the days open at 159.36, keeping a modest intraday bullish bias as prices grind higher within a tight range. The Stochastic RSI hovers around mid-50s, hinting at recovering upside momentum rather than overbought conditions and suggesting buyers still have some control in the very near term.　　On the downside, initial support aligns with the days open at 159.36, where a break would expose a deeper corrective pullback toward the prior intraday lows. While no major moving averages are in play on this timeframe, the intact sequence of higher closes keeps the focus on dip-buying as long as the pair defends levels above 159.36.　　In the daily chart, USD/JPY trades at 159.62. The pair maintains a bullish near-term bias as price holds well above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 158.44 and the 200-day EMA at 155.10, keeping the broader uptrend intact. The Stochastic RSI has rebounded toward the mid-50s, suggesting recovering upside momentum after a period of consolidation within the prevailing bullish structure.　　On the downside, initial support is seen at the 50-day EMA around 158.44, where a dip would still leave the broader bullish bias intact while the

XRP Whales Moved 1.10 Billion Tokens in a Week: Details

A fresh XRP market debate is underway after crypto analyst Ali Martinez said whales sold or redistributed 1.10 billion XRP over the past week. It is a figure that quickly caught the attention of traders watching whether large holders are trimming exposure or simply repositioning coins off exchanges. The timing matters because XRP is trading around $1.39 today, down about 2.02% over the past 24 hours, with a market value near $85.6 billion and daily trading volume close to $1.95 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.　　The whale transfer chatter is landing at a delicate moment for XRP. Major cryptocurrencies were slipping today as crypto sentiment cooled alongside broader market hesitation. Todays pullback follows a month in which XRP has struggled to build on earlier strength, even as traders continue to search for a durable catalyst.　　Price action on the chart does not yet suggest a clean breakout. XRP fell below its 50-day exponential moving average at $1.41 and was trading below $1.40, while the 100-day EMA sits at $1.52 and the 200-day EMA is further overhead at $1.75. Immediate support is near $1.30, with resistance around $1.41, $1.52, and $1.60. In other words, the market is still inside a narrow corridor where neither

Bitwise CIO says Strategy’s STRC could keep fueling Bitcoin’s latest rally

Bitcoins latest rally may still have room to run if Strategy keeps tapping STRC to fund new Bitcoin purchases, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan.　　In his weekly memo, Hougan said Bitcoin has climbed roughly 20% from its February lows and is trading near $76,000, supported by ETF inflows, renewed long term holder buying, and Strategys aggressive accumulation. He described Strategy as the single biggest factor behind the move after the company added $7.2 billion in Bitcoin over the past eight weeks.　　Strategy has funded those purchases through STRC, a perpetual preferred equity instrument designed to trade around $100 per share while offering a high dividend yield. The yield currently stands at 11.5%, after Strategy raised it from 9% to help keep the instrument near its target price.　　Hougan said Strategy issues STRC mainly to raise capital for additional Bitcoin purchases. While the dividend is largely funded by new capital raises, he argued the structure is backed by Strategys Bitcoin holdings, which currently stand at about $63 billion.　　Strategy also has $8 billion in debt and $14 billion in preferred equity, leaving total obligations at about 33% of its Bitcoin holdings, according to the memo. Hougan said investors may begin asking harder questions if
