The crypto market has broken out of its consolidation Market Overview The cryptocurrency market has risen by almost 8% over the past 24 hours to $2.37T, reaching its highest level since early June. The initial momentum came on the back of news that the US Treasury was supporting the debt market. This relatively small but timely move signalled that the government is monitoring the situation in the debt markets, spurring demand for risk assets. The rally was then fuelled by a wave of short-covering, following weeks of extremely narrow trading. Bitcoin reached $70K, posting a 9% rally over 8 hours during the US trading session. As the new day began, the leading cryptocurrency retreated slightly to $69.6K. On Monday, BTC consolidated above the 50-day moving average, and by Wednesday, it had already tested the 200-day MA. As expected, the market’s long-compressed spring snapped back, catching those who had been range-trading and those who had been building short positions on the rise off guard. If Bitcoin does not quickly lose its recent gains, it will be a significant sign that a bull market has begun, much like in October 2023 or March 2020. Ethereum recorded an even more impressive breakout, showing an 18% gain over 24 hours at its peak. Having risen to $2.25K, the second-largest cryptocurrency is trading near its April–May highs, having broken above its 200-day moving average and away from a long-term support line that has risen from around $1.75K to $1.9K over the past 8 months. The next significant level where the coin may face resistance to further gains appears to be the $2.5K–$2.8K range. (FxPro) News Lead Up Cryptos August 18, 2026 Crypto: Bears remain in control Market Overview The crypto market has lost just over 2% compared to its level seven days ago. However, there were signs of a positive trend on Monday, as the market capitalisation rebounded from a local low of $2.16T to $2.18T. The market continues to hover around its 50-day moving average, consolidating within a very narrow range despite the weakening dollar and a rally in the equity market. Among the top cryptocurrencies over the past 24 hours, the top gainers were Zcash (+4.8%), Dash (+2.4%) and Near Protocol (+1%). Declines affected roughly twice as many coins, with the biggest losses seen in Cosmos (-3.8%), Aptos (-2.7%) and Filecoin (-2%). Bitcoin has been trading below its 50-day moving average for the fourth day in a row, after an earlier attempt to break above it, followed by a pullback to $63.3K. On weekly timeframes, the leading cryptocurrency remains below the 200-week MA. Thus, the bears are confirming their dominance in both the medium-term and ultra-long-term trends. It will only be possible to speak of a breakout from consolidation and expect increased volatility once the price breaks out of the $62–65K range. News Background Claims that the crypto market is dead or nearing its end are appearing with increasing frequency on social media. Santiment believes that this situation, against a backdrop of growing pessimism, may be attractive to long-term buyers. The crypto market has entered the final phase of the bear cycle. According to estimates by DeFi Report, around 85 per cent of the cycle is already behind us, and how the situation develops from here will depend on global macroeconomic events. Under a new methodology, the Bitcoin treasuries of Strategy and Metaplanet could be excluded from MSCI indices for holding non-operating assets. No decision has been made yet, and MSCI is gathering feedback until 30 September, promising to publish the results by 16 October. JPMorgan previously estimated a potential outflow from Strategy’s securities under such a scenario at $2.8 billion. According to estimates from Miner Weekly, public Bitcoin miners have reduced their hash rate by 21 per cent over three quarters due to redeploying capacity to AI infrastructure. The current decline is attributed to a weak mining economy and competition for capital and electricity from the AI sector. FG Nexus, which held 50,000 ETH, sold off its entire cryptocurrency holdings and wound up its Ethereum strategy less than a year after its launch. The total net loss from holding crypto assets reached $45.2 million. Income from staking amounted to just $144,000. Hyperscale Data has reduced its Bitcoin reserves to approximately 275 BTC after selling around 685 BTC. The proceeds will be used to develop a data centre in Michigan, service debt and cover other expenses. The company will continue to mine Bitcoin and expects to build up its reserves over time. Summary: The crypto market remains under pressure: Bitcoin is trading below key moving averages, bears are in control of the trend, and news is fuelling investor caution.

(RMS) News Lead Up Gold News Gold seems to have completed its corrective pullback Last week, gold posted a modest July gain, which has already given buyers a significant boost this week. With prices up 6.5% since the start of the week, gold has confirmed a major technical breakout, bringing to an end the downtrend that began in February. The price rebounded from the key psychological level of $4,000 – where the correction also ended last October – and from the 61.8% retracement of the 2022–2026 rally, reinforcing the significance of the reversal signal. The bulls also have the strength with which gold broke through the 50-day moving average earlier this week in their favour; this average had served as support for the uptrend since the start of 2025, before turning into local resistance in March. If this is not a false breakout, this line could once again act as support for the medium-term bullish trend. That said, on weekly timeframes, the bulls still need to do some groundwork. During the latest rally, the price approached but failed to break through the 50-week moving average – an important signal line for the long-term trend. It currently stands near $4,400, whilst at $4,500, there is another potential area of resistance that reversed the trend in December and March. All things considered, we expect an interesting battle in gold this coming week, with the struggle intensifying following the release of US CPI and PPI data. The path to 4,500 may prove relatively easy, but beyond that, we should brace ourselves for a very significant tug-of-war. Summary: Gold has emerged from its correction and is heading towards $4,500, but a fierce battle between bulls and bears is likely around the 50-week moving average and following the release of US CPI/PPI data.

News (ICYMI) Alphabet Alphabet’s stake in Anthropic expands The value of Alphabet’s stake in the artificial intelligence start-up Anthropic has soared to around $US124 billion ($178 billion), making it one of the most lucrative bets in the company’s history.The Google parent disclosed in a filing on Thursday (Friday AEST) that the value of its investments in unidentified private companies totalled roughly $US124.3 billion as of June 30.

BHP looked closely at whether to bid for Rio Tinto if the latter announced a merger with Glencore. The two companies would make excellent merger partners; amongst others things, their staff and senior people have similar cultures, they are co-operating on future Australian iron ore projects and they are copper joint venture partners in Chile and the US. Meanwhile, there are significance cultural differences between Rio Tinto and Glencore; there is little doubt that Rio Tinto's CEO Simon Trott would have had doubts about a merger once he understood these cultural differences.
