By John Isige Zcash climbed through $1,000 while Bitcoin briefly traded above $82,000 after a softer signal from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller drew buyers back to risk assets. The move lifted the wider crypto market to its highest valuation in more than seven months, although strong US employment data later cooled the rally.

By John Isige The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is advancing three initiatives that could reshape the relationship between traditional securities and digital assets: preparations for round-the-clock trading, modernization of transfer-agent rules to account for blockchain technology, and a review of how new investment products, including crypto-linked ETFs, should be regulated.
By John Isige Until mid-August, XRP/USD traded steadily lower within a long-term downtrend. Two weeks ago, the pair staged a strong corrective rebound after the US Treasury announced that it would increase the maximum size of long-end liquidity-support buybacks from $2.0 billion to at least $4.0 billion per operation, effective September 9. The measure is intended to improve Treasury-market liquidity rather than inject capital directly into cryptocurrencies. However, the initial decline in long-term yields supported a broader risk-on move, examined by FORECK.INFO in its recent analysis of the market reaction. XRP/USD reached the 1.6970 area before reversing lower. The pair is now approaching the 1.3060–1.2695 support zone, formed by the middle Bollinger Band and Murrey [5/8] level. A break below 1.2695 could open the way toward 1.1718, the Murrey [4/8] level, followed by 0.9765, the Murrey [2/8] level, and 0.7812, the Murrey [0/8] level. Conversely, consolidation above 1.5625, the Murrey [8/8] level, could support a recovery toward 1.7578, the Murrey [+2/8] level, and 1.9980, the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement.

For crypto, the framework is similar to traditional financial markets but comes with its own twist. Here, price action turns on liquidity, adoption, regulation, and flows from institutions alongside retail sentiment. Network health—hash rate, staking, active wallets—adds another layer. Macro still matters too: rates, dollar strength, and risk appetite shape inflows and outflows. Then, as with any market, you use the chart—trend, support and resistance, momentum, and volume—to spot setups and manage risk.
