CENX honoring topping tail — The chart has levels on both sides worth knowing

CENX has been working its way lower ever since. The chart has clearly defined levels on both the downside and the upside. Just a note… Id like a bigger drop before trying to buy something near highs.　　Lets start with where price is heading if the selling continues. The first area worth watching for a bounce is the gap fill at $53.25. This is approximately 10-11% below current price. Aggressive traders can look for an entry there, with the understanding that this level sits closer to the recent highs than the lows. Like I said, this limits how much conviction I would put behind a longer-term hold from that zone. An intraday reaction is possible. A sustained multi-day bounce from $53.25 is less certain given where we are in the range. Keep position size appropriate to that reality.　　Below the aggressive gap fill, the .786 Fibonacci retrace sits at $51.13 which coincides with a pivot. Just under it is the conservative gap fill at $46.65. That level, sitting just below the Fib retrace, is where the higher-probability bounce setup lives. The combination of the Fibonacci level and the gap fill in the same area gives $46.65 more technical weight than the $53.25

MegaETH Foundation completes first MEGA buyback

The MegaETH Foundation, which manages MegaETHs development and incentive design, announced its first MEGA buyback on Friday, funded entirely by net rewards accumulated from the USDm issuer through April.　　The team did not disclose the size of the first buyback.　　On May 7th, the MegaETH Foundation completed its first MEGA buyback, using all net rewards accrued from the USDm issuer up until the end of April.　　Current USDm supply sits at $480M.　　We intend future buybacks to be programmatic and onchain.　　MegaETH is an Ethereum layer 2 scaling network focused on fast consumer apps and is closely linked to USDM, a stablecoin whose supply grew from about $63 million to $439 million post-launch. Revenue from USDM will be used to buy MEGA tokens, connecting usage directly to demand.　　The Foundation said future MEGA buybacks will be automated, programmatic, and executed onchain, marking the start of a long-term buyback system for the MegaETH economy.　　The goal is to keep value inside the ecosystem by recycling USDm-related rewards back into MegaETH instead of sending them to outside stablecoin issuers.　　The Foundation also said future buybacks will follow a set schedule rather than being decided manually, and will depend on market conditions and USDm supply, which can change over time.　　MegaETH launched

Dow Jones edges higher on NFP beat as Iran reply awaited

The futures market is an exchange-based auction in which participants buy and sell contracts of an underlying asset at a predetermined future date and price. The set price is agreed upon today and is derived from the underlying asset. Futures contracts can be based on a wide range of assets, with commodities among the most popular, although currencies and indices are other common underlying assets. Futures prices depend on their underlying asset and act as a mechanism for firms, institutions, and large-position traders to manage risks through hedging.　　Futures can be traded in different ways. The most common ways are via a regulated exchange or via Contracts For Difference (CFDs). In the former, liquidity is high and pricing is more transparent, with the broker serving only as an intermediary between you and the market. Still, it generally requires more capital. The largest futures exchanges are the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYME). As for CFDs, these require less capital and thus trading is more flexible, but at the cost of less transparency.　　The E-mini S&P 500 index, Crude Oil (Brent, WTI), Natural Gas, Gold, Silver, Copper, and soft commodities such as grains are among the most actively

SBF has joined Pam Bondi on team Dow 50K

From his prison cell at FCI Lompoc, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) is running the same Donald Trump-cheerleading play that Pam Bondi ran right before Trump fired her. Hes joined Bondi on team “Dow 50K.”　　The convicted FTX fraudster‘s proxy-run X account posted on Wednesday that the S&P 500 had hit a record level of 7,365. The index, the ex-FTX CEO claimed, had rallied an impressive 22.8% since Trump’s second inauguration.　　At the corresponding time during Joe Bidens presidency, it was up just 7%.　　It is a near-perfect echo of the rhetorical move that turned Bondis glaze into a meme.　　At her February 2026 House Judiciary hearing on the Department of Justices handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, the then-US attorney general abruptly pivoted away from questions about the files.　　Instead of responding, she started reciting stock index prices instead, reminding lawmakers that the Dow Jones Industrial Average index was over 50,000, the S&P near 7,000, and that Americans 401(k) retirement accounts were “booming.”　　The clip of her desperate attempt to defend Trump went viral.　　Dow 50K became a meme　　Despite her attempts to defend Trump amid a Congressional inquiry into her own mismanagement, Trump fired her on April 2.　　SBF is serving 25 years for stealing roughly $8 billion from

Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Price Will Top $320,000 After ‘Cleanest Signal’ Emerged

The analyst‘s view is based on a long-term upward channel that has guided Bitcoin’s price movement for years. In this pattern, major market bottoms tend to form near the lower boundary, while strong rallies eventually push the price toward the upper boundary before the cycle turns downward again. The structure suggests a repeating cycle where each decline creates a new base before the next major rise begins.　　Past market cycles follow this same pattern. Bitcoin formed a major low near $2 in 2011, followed by another bottom around $170 in 2015. The next cycle low appeared near $3,800 during the 2020 market crash.　　The trend continued in later years, with Bitcoin dropping to around $15,000 in 2023 before starting another recovery. According to the analyst, the latest cycle bottom may have formed near $60,000 in 2026, once again aligning with the lower boundary of the long-term channel.　　In earlier cycles, rebounds from this lower level eventually pushed Bitcoin toward the top of the channel. If the same structure holds, the current path places the upper boundary near $320,000, which is where the analyst believes the next major peak could occur.　　ATH Retest Pattern Reappears As Bitcoin Holds Key Structure　　In a more recent post, the

ECB’s Lagarde Pushes Back on Euro Stablecoins, Warns of ‘Structural Weaknesses’

ECB President Christine Lagarde said euro stablecoins are “not an efficient way” to boost the euros global role, warning their risks outweigh short-term gains.She flagged two “material” risks: financial instability from sudden redemptions and weaker monetary policy transmission if deposits shift out of banks.Industry leaders pushed back, warning Europe risks dollar dominance and sending a negative signal to private investors building euro stablecoins.　　ECB President Christine Lagarde pushed back Friday on calls for euro stablecoins, saying the instrument is “not an efficient way” to strengthen the euros international role—and that Europe should stop trying to copy the U.S. playbook.　　Speaking at the Banco de España LatAm Economic Forum in Roda de Bará, Spain, Lagarde acknowledged that the global market, now worth over $317 billion and nearly 98% denominated in U.S. dollars, has forced a policy reckoning across advanced economies.　　The GENIUS Act, advancing through the U.S. Congress, is touted by the Trump administration as a tool to ensure “the continued global dominance of the U.S. dollar” and to cement demand for US Treasuries, Lagarde noted in her remarks.　　“The terms of the debate have shifted,” she said. “It is no longer about whether stablecoins should exist, but whether jurisdictions can afford to be without
