Bitcoin stays steady at $74,000 while resistance builds as it nears $80,000.

BTC held steady around $74,000 while resistance tightened near $80,000. A major investor used a TWAP strategy to acquire roughly 450 BTC per day, helping keep prices stable. The analysis was published by COINTURK NEWS. Heavy liquidity is gathering around $75,700, shaping short‑term price movements. This concentration supports the current price plateau despite upward pressure. The observation highlights the market’s tight trading range.

Egrag Crypto uncovers the pulse behind the upcoming XRP price surge

XRP is trading above a long‑term ascending trendline that analysts label the “heartbeat” of its macro structure. The price sits around $1.36, maintaining a cushion above both the yellow macro line and a descending pink formation. Current market action shows a tightening volatility zone near this critical support area. The chart indicates higher structural support forming while volatility compresses ahead of a “major decision phase.” A retest of the $0.80 macro line would keep the overall structure intact, and a break of the pink formation could expose $1.10 as the next key level. Despite these risks, higher lows continue to reinforce a bullish bias. XRP is contained within a descending broadening wedge; if the formation holds, analysts project moves toward $2 and eventually the $3 “macro magnet.” The market appears to be storing energy as price consolidates above the ascent line. Past cycles show similar compressions resolving with strong upward breakouts. The information is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

XRP whales step back as big transfers fall more than half while the price range narrows.

Over nine days, XRP whale transactions above $1 million dropped from 157 to 67, a 57.3% fall. This isn’t a clear sell‑off but a pause in aggressive moves by large holders. In deep‑liquidity crypto markets, whales cycle through accumulation, distribution, and low‑engagement phases. The current dip suggests reassessment rather than mass exit. Fewer whale orders have tightened the price range, creating a compression phase with narrowed volatility. Order books on both sides thicken, and XRP trades near $1.34 amid depth levels last seen in 2020. Sentiment is negative, with FUD at a three‑week high, adding pressure. Reduced liquidity and balanced order flow set the stage for a breakout once volume returns. Historically, such compression periods precede sharp volatility expansions in XRP and other large caps. The next move depends on the return of conviction‑driven whale flows. Until then, XRP is likely to stay range‑bound as sentiment, liquidity, and macro forces compete for direction. A resurgence of whale activity could trigger the breakout.

Today's mortgage rates: 30‑year fixed stays at 6.65%

The average 30‑year fixed mortgage rate held at about 6.65% at week’s end, with the 15‑year at 6.23% and jumbo loans near 6.77%. Government‑backed FHA and VA loans stayed around 6.2%, while the 7/6 SOFR ARM rose to roughly 6.61%. Despite frequent market headlines, rates matched the previous day and week, showing tight‑range stability. Mortgage rates follow U.S. Treasury yields because lenders package loans into mortgage‑backed securities that compete for investor demand. Early Friday trading ended ahead of the Memorial Day holiday, limiting large bond moves even as U.S.–Iran negotiations sparked intraday volatility. The mixed bond reaction—optimism then fading—kept mortgage rates unchanged. Rates remain anchored in the low‑mid‑6% band as the Federal Reserve pauses after 2025 cuts, while persistent inflation curtails further declines. A cooling inflation picture could prompt the Fed to resume cuts, pulling rates lower; sustained inflation or geopolitical shocks may hold or raise them. Borrowers now get predictability, but the duration of this stability hinges on policy and global market shifts.

The weekly chart indicates that the downward pressure on Shiba Inu may be almost over.

Open interest in Shiba Inu rose 2.1% in the last 24 hours while spot trading volume fell 18%, signaling mixed market signals about the token’s next move. SHIB trades near $0.0000056, a 10% drop over the past week, and is perched on a historic support zone around $0.0000055. Sellers have failed to push the price into a sustained break below this level, keeping the token afloat despite the decline. A descending triangle has constrained SHIB since its 2021 peak, repeatedly blocking recoveries. Analyst Aurex Finance identified a three‑wave corrective structure that appears to have finished at the long‑term support, creating a confluence that may signal the end of the multi‑year downtrend. For a bullish shift, the price must clear two hurdles: the falling resistance near $0.000011 and the prior high around $0.000033. Until those levels break, the chart remains weak, but the compressed triangle could produce a sharp breakout in either direction.

The $1 Trillion Energy Settlement Dilemma: An Exclusive Interview with Jack Samatov, Founder of Solarious

Renewable Energy Certificates are still issued as PDFs, emailed, and reconciled manually months later. This creates double‑counting, opaque provenance, and fraud that damage ESG commitments. Existing blockchain proposals lack a protocol built around the physics and compliance of energy production. The market therefore needs a tamper‑proof, real‑time settlement layer. Solarious links solar hardware to a 200‑node validator network that finalizes proofs in under four seconds. Its Solar Miner records voltage, current, location and kWh at the chip level and signs the data with immutable keys. The signed package is verified on‑chain via a Proof‑of‑Energy consensus and mints $SOLAR tokens proportionally to contribution. Absolute finality and a hard‑capped validator set make it suitable for institutional asset settlement. Every REC becomes a cryptographic proof tied to a specific device, eliminating double‑spending and simplifying compliance for ESG funds. Both rooftop owners and large farms can participate on equal terms, unlocking economic rewards previously reserved for big producers. By 2030 on‑chain energy trading will be standard, and early infrastructure owners will dominate. Solarious aims to capture this shift by providing the first live, verified settlement layer.

MUFG notes that the RBNZ’s hawkish stance could drive additional gains in the New Zealand dollar.

MUFG notes the RBNZ has adopted a more hawkish tone than expected, aiming to curb inflation above target. By pledging higher or sustained rates, the bank gives the NZD a yield advantage over peers. This policy divergence is seen as a fundamental support for the currency. The NZD benefits from interest‑rate differentials with the US, Europe and Japan, attracting yield‑seeking capital. Strong global demand for New Zealand dairy and agri‑products bolsters its terms of trade. The currency also serves as a proxy for risk appetite, gaining on stable or improving sentiment. MUFG suggests pull‑backs toward 0.6150 in NZD/USD can be buying opportunities if the hawkish stance persists. A break above that level could open a move toward 0.6300. Traders should watch RBNZ statements for confirmation. Risks include a sudden dovish shift by the RBNZ, a global slowdown, or a drop in commodity prices, which could reverse recent gains quickly. Nonetheless, the hawkish bias remains a supportive, though not guaranteed, catalyst for medium‑term NZD appreciation.

According to DBS, the Indian rupee steadied as the RBI continued its supportive stance.

The Reserve Bank of India has been actively buying and selling rupees in spot and forward markets to curb excessive depreciation. Its cautious policy stance has kept the currency within a narrow trading range despite a strong US dollar. By providing market liquidity, the RBI has created a floor that prevents disorderly slides. Analysts note that this approach has markedly reduced sharp volatility. DBS economists expect the rupee to stay relatively stable in the near term, assuming no major external shocks. Improving macro fundamentals, such as a narrowing current‑account deficit and robust foreign‑exchange reserves, act as buffers. However, the INR remains exposed to global risk appetite and US interest‑rate movements. A sudden shift in these factors could quickly reverse the current stability. A steadier rupee lowers cost uncertainty for importers, especially for oil and other dollar‑priced commodities. Foreign investors see the RBI’s actions as a commitment to currency stability, boosting confidence in Indian assets. Nonetheless, long‑term investor sentiment will still hinge on external economic conditions. The central bank’s support is a stabilizing force but not an absolute shield.

Babylon Labs suggests introducing native Bitcoin as collateral for Aave version 4

Babylon Labs submitted a Temp Check to Aave governance to add native BTC as collateral in Aave v4. The design uses “trust‑minimized” Bitcoin vaults that lock BTC on‑chain without wrapped tokens. This avoids custodial bridges, reducing counter‑party risk and aligning with Bitcoin’s decentralised ethos. It contrasts with current practices that rely on WBTC or renBTC. The aim is to tap the roughly $1 trillion of dormant Bitcoin capital for DeFi lending, borrowing and yield. Aave v4’s modular, cross‑chain architecture can natively support such assets. By using native BTC, users can participate without tokenisation friction, potentially unlocking significant new liquidity. If the community approves, the move could set a precedent, encouraging other protocols to accept native Bitcoin collateral. Implementation will require thorough audits and a formal vote in Aave’s governance flow. Success may intensify competition for Bitcoin liquidity as institutional interest grows.
