OKX becomes the first recent exchange to regain Play Store access  Only days earlier, Digital Asset had reported that the OKX app could no longer be found on South Koreas Google Play Store, preventing Android users from installing or updating the application.

SummaryBitcoin fell about 2.7 percent to roughly $63,200, extending losses across major cryptocurrencies as Asian equities, led by South Koreas Kospi, sold off sharply.The U.S. Senate has delayed action on the closely watched CLARITY Act to focus on a Russia sanctions bill, likely pushing any vote on crypto regulatory legislation to next week before the Aug. 8 recess.Analysts say bitcoin tends to move with stocks when macro and interest-rate stress is high, and they expect volatility across asset classes around the Federal Reserves rate decision Wednesday and key U.S. data on Thursday.  Bitcoin has come under pressure since the U.S. stock market closed Monday, with South Koreas Kospi leading Asian equities lower and providing risk-off cues to the cryptocurrency market.

The drop ends the brief resilience the market showed earlier Monday as shares in NVDA tanked on Wall Street.

Is the US Natural Gas undervalued?

In this article I will talk about the U.S. benchmark natural gas futures contract traded on NYMEX (Henry Hub Natural Gas; CME Globex code: NG) and will attempt to objectively answer a straightforward question: ‘is the U.S. natural gas currently undervalued?’. I will conclude with my market outlook and whether I am currently buying or selling.  Current price context  The U.S. natural gas front-month futures contract (NGQ26) settled at $2.767 per Million British thermal units (MMBtu) on 27 July 2026, down 3.62% on the day. On the continuation chart, natural gas lost more than 16% in value this month and is down almost 20% since 1 June. It currently sits at 11-week low, below all key daily moving averages.  The current price is also well below both the prior-year average of $3.621 and the running five-year average price of $3.818. Furthermore, a substantial disconnect exists between natural gas pricing at Henry Hub and global benchmarks, such as Title Transfer Facility (TTF) in Europe and Japan Korea Marker (JKM) in Asia. Although this disparity is partly the result of major structural differences in supply access, it is still quite substantial. Yesterday, TTF settled at $19.398 per MMBtu, while JKM settled at $21.43 per MMBtu,

Meme Coins Price Prediction: Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, MemeCore

Dogecoin tests key support as sellers defend major EMA resistance levels.SHIB holds above short-term support despite failing to clear key resistance.MemeCore remains bearish unless buyers reclaim the 20-day EMA resistance.  Meme coins remain under pressure as Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and MemeCore struggle to build sustainable recoveries. Their daily charts show different degrees of weakness, but sellers still control the broader trend. DOGE trades near a critical support zone, while SHIB attempts to protect its recent recovery.  Meanwhile, MemeCore continues to consolidate after suffering a steep decline. Consequently, the three tokens need important technical breakthroughs before traders can expect stronger bullish momentum.  Dogecoin trades around $0.06994 and remains below its major exponential moving averages. The 20-day EMA at $0.07250 now represents the first significant hurdle for buyers. Additionally, the 50-day EMA near $0.07761 reinforces the bearish structure.  The 100-day and 200-day EMAs remain higher at $0.08546 and $0.10175. Hence, DOGE needs sustained buying interest to challenge its broader downtrend.  Dogecoin Price Dynamics (Source: Trading View)  The $0.06945 Fibonacci level provides immediate support. A daily close below that level could expose $0.0650. Conversely, reclaiming $0.07250 could improve sentiment and support a move toward $0.07488.

Bitcoin‘s recent stability hasn’t been enough to spark a broader altcoin rally

While bitcoin BTC  $63,378.18 and ether (ETH) are under pressure, their prices remain above their respective 50-day averages, a bullish sign. The broader market isnt so lucky.  The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is widely tracked as a near-term trend gauge. Price breaks above that level are taken as a sign that bullish momentum is building. Right now, only 29 of the top 100 coins, including the two largest, are trading above their respective 50-day averages. So the breadth remains decisively bearish.  It looks even worse when compared with the Nasdaq 100 breadth. As of Monday, 47 stocks from the index traded above their 50-day SMAs.  This shows that the stability seen since the BTC selloff stalled below $58,000 on June 1 has yet to spill over into the wider crypto market. But there is hope. Ether, the bellwether of altcoins, has recently outperformed bitcoin, raising hopes that soon other coins could catch a strong bid.  A lot depends on the Fed‘s interest-rate decision due Wednesday and the cues (if any, given Chair Kevin Warsh’s reticence to provide forward guidance) about the interest-rate trajectory.
