US Dollar Index climbs to two-week high as Fed rate hike bets intensify

In the daily chart, Dollar Index Spot trades at 98.83. The near-term tone is mildly constructive as price holds above the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 98.53, but remains capped just below the 50-day SMA at 98.99, keeping the broader range intact. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 54.15 has recovered from earlier levels near 40, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram turns slightly positive, hinting that bullish pressure is rebuilding, albeit under nearby trend resistance.  On the topside, immediate resistance emerges at the 50-day SMA clustered around 98.99, with a subsequent barrier at the horizontal level near 99.50, and a more significant cap at 100.50 if buyers extend the advance. On the downside, initial support is provided by the 200-day SMA at 98.53, ahead of stronger structural demand at 97.50, where a break would expose a deeper corrective phase within the broader consolidation.  Inflation FAQs  Inflation measures the rise in the price of a representative basket of goods and services. Headline inflation is usually expressed as a percentage change on a month-on-month (MoM) and year-on-year (YoY) basis. Core inflation excludes more volatile elements such as food and fuel which can fluctuate because of geopolitical and seasonal factors. Core inflation

Dune Cuts 25% of Staff and Bets on AI to Power Crypto Datas Next Chapter – Bitcoin News

Dune Cuts 25% of Staff, Bets Future on AI and Institutional Onchain Data  Haga announced the cuts this week, framing the decision as a restructuring rather than a retreat. “We‘re restructuring Dune to sharpen our focus around the core data products thousands of customers across the industry rely on,” he said. “That unfortunately means we’ve let 25% of the team go this week.”  Dune, founded in 2018, built its reputation by making onchain data accessible to analysts, developers, and companies through SQL-based dashboards. The company says it has since constructed a full-stack data infrastructure covering ingestion, quality assurance, storage, cleaning, normalization, and querying.  Haga pointed to two areas driving the company forward: AI integration and institutions entering onchain markets. “Going forward, Dune is all-in on two shifts: AI and institutions coming onchain,” he wrote.  The centerpiece of Dunes AI strategy is Dune MCP, a product that allows teams and AI agents to build dashboards and workflows without SQL knowledge or data infrastructure experience. Haga says the tool puts Dune in a position no competitor currently occupies.  “Were the only player who has done the hard work of building the end-to-end stack for data,” he said. “With Dune MCP, teams and agents can now build dashboards

Analysts See a Possible 5,000% Growth Window for Ozak AI as It Moves From Presale Pricing Toward Public Markets

As Ozak AI approaches its launch, early-stage crypto investors become increasingly interested, making it a widely anticipated presale project. The current final presale price is $0.014, and Ozak AI is positioned as a utility-based project rather than a speculative token; it employs real-time data insights and provides advanced predictive analytics for all financial markets.

FOX Dives Into Indianapolis 500 With ‘The 500: Immortality At Indy’

The Indianapolis 500 can change the lives of those who have competed in the famed race, and lasting immortality for a select few that have won it.  FOX goes behind the curtain to explain why the Indianapolis 500 is one of the most impactful sporting events on Earth with a documentary that will debut Saturday at 6 p.m. Eastern Time.  “The 500: Immortality At Indy” is a film hosted by former driver and FOX Sports IndyCar analyst James Hinchcliffe that explores the most defining moments in more than 100 years at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, told through the voices of the legends who wrote its history including Helio Castroneves, Tony Kanaan, Lyn St. James and more.  Hinchcliffe was the polesitter of the 100th Indianapolis 500 in 2016 and a nine-time Indy 500 participant.  The one-hour documentary will air on FOX after Day 1 of Indianapolis 500 qualifications on May 16, 2026.  “There is something magical about Indianapolis Motor Speedway and something almost religious about the Indianapolis 500,” said Hinchcliffe. “Abundant with history and memorable moments for racers and fans alike, being able to share some of the amazing stories with viewers through the new FOX Sports Films documentary, ‘The 500: Immortality At Indy,’ is a real

Beyond the Shiba Inu price prediction: Why savvy investors are also watching Poly Truth

AI crypto coins are pulling attention from pure meme demand  AI crypto projects are gaining interest because they connect token use to data, automation, and market research. That makes the story different from older meme coins that rely mostly on social buzz.  Poly Truth fits that shift through prediction market intelligence. The project is built to read active prediction events across sports, politics, crypto, and other markets, then show which outcome has stronger data support.  The process has three moving parts.The Runners collect event data.The Starlet compares sources and calculates probability scores.The Presenter turns the work into a clear event brief.  This gives PTRUE a clear place in the AI crypto trend. It connects the token to access, staking, and future use inside a system built around data-backed prediction analysis.What comes next for SHIB and AI tokens  The next Shiba Inu price prediction depends on whether memecoin demand can return with enough force. SHIB still has the name, the community, and the exchange access to stay relevant.  Still, the path to another huge move looks harder than it did in the early memecoin boom. SHIB now needs larger capital inflows to move sharply because its market cap is already far above that of smaller tokens.  Meanwhile, Poly

Fed: Holding pattern extends into 2027 – TD Securities

TD Securities economists Oscar Munoz and team revise their Fed outlook, now projecting no rate cuts in 2026 as persistent inflation pressures from the Iran conflict, elevated Oil and strained supply chains delay disinflation. They still anticipate policy easing in 2027 back toward a 3% neutral rate, but warn the FOMCs bar for cuts is rising and hawkish risks remain.  No cuts as inflation risks linger  “We are revising our Fed call and no longer expect rate cuts in 2026. With the Iran conflict in a stalemate, oil prices still high, and supply chains stressed, we no longer see inflation progress as feasible this year. Additional easing in 2027 is still our base case once impacts from Iran subside.”  “We no longer look for rate cuts this year, as the inflation calculus will turn more problematic over the next few months. We remain optimistic regarding policy easing in 2027 (75bps starting in March), as we continue to expect the Fed to eventually bring policy back to our estimate of neutral at 3%. However, we cannot discard the possibility of the Fed staying on hold for even longer with numerous risks threatening the inflation outlook.”  “Absent an unexpected deterioration in the labor market or an

Etherlink Tezos EVM Goes Live on Dune for Onchain Analytics

Etherlink, the EVM-compatible Layer 2 built on Tezos Smart Rollup technology, is now available for analysis on Dune. This integration enables researchers, developers, and institutions to explore Etherlink‘s onchain activity alongside other major blockchain networks, using Dune’s standardized SQL-based analytics.  Launched as one of the first enshrined optimistic rollups, Etherlink combines Ethereum-level tooling compatibility with Tezos liquid proof-of-stake consensus. Key design features include enshrined rollup architecture, EVM equivalence for seamless Solidity contract deployment, and low transaction costs averaging $0.001 with sub-second confirmation times.  Etherlink‘s unique approach as an enshrined rollup means its core infrastructure—validation logic, fraud-proof systems, and message processing—is embedded directly into Tezos’ Layer 1 protocol. This eliminates reliance on external contracts, enhancing security and governance. Upgrades to Etherlink are governed by Tezos‘ decentralized, on-chain voting mechanism, giving the network’s bakers the final say on key changes.  Developers can deploy standard Ethereum tooling such as MetaMask, Hardhat, and The Graph on Etherlink, with fees paid in tez (Tezos native token). Cross-chain interoperability is also a focus, with support for native bridging between Etherlink, Tezos L1, Ethereum, and other EVM networks via LayerZero and other solutions.  Since exiting beta in early 2025, Etherlink has attracted leading DeFi protocols, including Curve, Midas, Hanji, and Gearbox,

Crypto Stocks Surge As Senate Committee Advances Long-Stalled CLARITY Act

The Senate Banking Committee advanced the crypto industrys top legislative priority after nearly a year of gridlock and months of negotiations, sending crypto-exposed stocks rallying on the news, with Coinbase up roughly 9%, Strategy up 8% and Robinhood and Galaxy Digital both up 6%.  AFP via Getty Images  Key Facts  The vote fell largely along party lines, with Arizona Democrat Ruben Gallego the lone member of his party crossing over to join all Republicans in support.  The bills core function is to settle a years-long turf war between two federal agencies—the Securities and Exchange Commission, which regulates stocks, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which regulates commodities like wheat and oil futures—neither of which had clear authority over crypto.  CLARITY would allow most crypto tokens to get classified as “digital commodities” overseen by the CFTC, while a smaller subset deemed “securities” stay with the SEC, as well as requiring crypto exchanges to follow the same anti-money laundering rules that banks do.  A long-running fight over stablecoins, crypto tokens pegged to the U.S. dollar, was resolved earlier this month with a compromise that allows stablecoin issuers like Circle to pay rewards to holders, but with restrictions designed to keep them from functioning as bank-deposit substitutes (that compromise

Space Leaders Worldwide May Fight SpaceX Lofting 1 Million Satellites

While Elon Musk stunned the world with plans to launch a million satellites into orbit, the heads of space agencies and spacecraft operators across the planet are certain to oppose this SpaceX scheme, says a pre-eminent space scholar.  If the American Federal Aviation Administration even hinted it might approve the lift-off of a million-strong SpaceX mega-constellation, “I would expect immediate and very strong objections from satellite operators, astronomers, insurers, national space agencies, defense organizations, and foreign governments,” says Brian Hurley, a world-leading expert who chronicles the rapid-fire expansion of the modern space sector, and its rippling effects across the spheres of national security and international affairs.  “The objections would not only come from China and Russia,” says Hurley, founder of the influential think tank New Space Economy, which also publishes a digital magazine.  “They would likely come from U.S. and European operators too, because the risk is not contained inside the company proposing the system.”  “Putting one million satellites into orbit would sharply increase the potential for inter-satellite collisions,” Hurley told me in an interview.  VW Pics/Universal Images Group via Getty Images  “At one-million-satellite scale, even tiny failure percentages become large absolute numbers. A 99.9% success rate still leaves 1,000 failed satellites.”  Failed satellites that have lost
