Ethereum's staking exit queue increased more than fivefold in just three days, reaching a peak of around 851,000 ETH after MetaMask began proactively withdrawing thousands of validators following a security incident.
By John Isige In June, the ETH/USD pair reversed from the 1562.50 area (Murray level [2/8]), near two-year lows, and has since continued to rise with significant periods of sideways consolidation. The price is now approaching the 2812.50–2770.00 resistance area (Murray level [+2/8], 23.6% Fibonacci retracement). A consolidation above this zone may allow the pair to reach 3165.00 (50.0% Fibonacci retracement) and 3400.00 (January high). However, if the price consolidates below 2500.00 (Murray level [8/8]), where the asset traded for around a month, a correction toward 2187.50 (Murray level [6/8]) and 1875.00 (Murray level [4/8]) may develop.

By John Isige SLINK reached an estimated $80 million market capitalization after Elon Musk replied to a post from Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis's X account, which had reportedly been compromised. The memecoin then lost more than 97% of its value within minutes.
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.
By John Isige More than $1.2 billion in scheduled token releases could enter circulation during September 2026. RAIN accounts for the largest estimated dollar value, while Plasma’s XPL stands out because of the unusually large share of its circulating supply involved.
By Andrew Bennett The SOL/USD pair has broken out of the "symmetric triangle" pattern, moving above its upper boundary, and has been steadily rising for the second consecutive week. Currently, the price is testing the 100.00 level (Murray [8/8]). A confirmed breakout above this level could open the way toward targets at 112.50 (Murray [+2/8]) and 125.00 (Murray [4/8], W1). However, a move below the middle Bollinger Band level at 81.25 (Murray [5/8]) could trigger a renewed decline toward 62.50 (Murray [2/8]) and 50.00 (Murray [0/8]).
