Machine learning algorithm predicts XRP price on January 31, 2026

Cryptocurrency

XRP has lost some steam over the past twenty-four hours as the Senate delayed a key crypto market structure bill on January 15.

At the same time, daily trading volume slipped 30% as the broader market backdrop turned cautious and began rotating away from altcoins as Bitcoin’s (BTC) dominance rose to nearly 60%.

However, a machine learning algorithm sees the general monthly trend as stable, even if the market may appear increasingly volatile.

XRP AI price prediction

Namely, Finbold’s AI-driven price prediction tool, which blends inputs from ChatGPT, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and Claude Sonnet 4 to generate a range of potential outcomes, projects an average XRP price of $2.12 for January 31, 2026.

The figure suggests the asset is on its way to climb 2.75% from the current price of $2.06, which would pull it just above the current ten-day simple moving average (MA) at $2.1.

Claude Sonnet and Gemini gave the most bullish forecast, both projecting a potential 4.37% rally and a price of $2.15, while ChatGPT suggested the price could go down 0.49%, eventually trading at $2.05.

XRP price outlook

While cumulatively not negative, the projection is still not as optimistic as some given by human analysts this week. For example, one analysis suggests XRP price could soon test untapped highs based on the broader market movements and Bitcoin’s current positioning in particular.

Ultimately, XRP’s trajectory will hinge on variables including the cryptocurrency’s technical indicators, the state of the overall market, and regulatory progress on the Senate’s part. As of now, the supportive base hovers around $2.05–$2.10.

Best defense stocks to buy in 2026 Stocks Recent years have seen ...

Best defense stocks to buy in 2026

Stocks

Recent years have seen the U.S. continue on its path of increasing the nation’s already staggering defense budget, and the E.U. conclude it needs to remilitarize with a program worth nearly $1 trillion. By early 2026, governments appear to have decided on the direction for improving their armed forces: artificial intelligence (AI) and drones.

Thus, in January, several relatively obscure companies have emerged as possibly the best military and military-related stocks for investors seeking growth or stability that can only be afforded by contracts with nation-states.

Dassault Aviation (EPA: AM)

The French aeronautics giant, Dassault Aviation (EPA: AM) – the company perhaps best-known for producing the Rafale multirole fighter – already saw massive stock market success through 2025.

Indeed, AM stock is up 52.94% in the last 12 months and is, at press time on January 16, changing hands at €312.60 ($362.89) as it is one of the great beneficiaries and anticipated beneficiaries of the European Union’s generous rearmament program.

Despite the Dassault shares appearing expensive after the great rally, the equity still have plenty of room to grow with the latest bullish catalyst coming from the planned integration of AI.

Specifically, Dassault invested $200 million in Harmattan AI, a startup specializing in developing low-cost, scalable, and autonomous systems. The partnership will enable the AI company to expand its work into the fields of electronic warfare, drone interception, and surveillance and intelligence.

Howmet Aerospace (NYSE: HWM)
Unlike Harmattan AI, Howmet Aerospace (NYSE: HWM) is, by any measure, a rather old and well-established company, considering it was founded late in the 19th century and serves as a major supplier for defense giants such as Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT).

Despite this, the company has been enjoying newcomer-like growth in the last 12 months with HWM stock rallying 82.81% within the time frame to its press time price of $224.82.

The rise of Howmet shares can be linked to the company’s exceedingly strong results in 2025, exemplified by a 14% revenue growth and continuous increases in its forward-looking guidance.

The company has also pivoted to higher-margin aftermarkets and critical engine component manufacturing.

Indeed, as a producer of advanced aeroplane parts and a supplier for giants like Lockheed, it stands to reason that the HWM stock rally will persist in 2026 and into 2027, especially if President Donald Trump’s request for the U.S. to increase its military budget to $1.5 trillion – more than 66% higher than the latest confirmed figure – gets approved.

Mercury Systems (NASDAQ: MRCY)

Mercury Systems (NASDAQ: MRCY) is a long-standing partner for the U.S. – and 34 other – governments, specializing in mission-critical processing technologies for defense and aerospace applications.

Its role has enabled MRCY stock to rally a remarkable 40.99% since 2026 started and to reach, by press time on January 16, an all-time high of $102.94.

This latest rally has largely been driven by a $60 million contract granted for work on two U.S. strategic and space weapons programs, and announced on January 15, that will utilize Mercury’s signal and radiation-hardened data processing capabilities.

Akin to both HWM and AM shares, MRCY stock is likely to continue surging as, on the one hand, the latest contract is set to run through 2031 and, on the other hand, the company is likely to have a long-standing relationship with the government as it has continuously been enjoying high-tech contracts for years.

Banking giant sets date when Ethereum will trade at $30,000

Cryptocurrency

Standard Chartered has released a fresh bullish outlook on Ethereum (ETH), projecting that the cryptocurrency will climb sharply this decade.

According to its outlook, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization could potentially rally to $30,000 by 2029 while outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) through 2026.

The target implies a roughly 790% gain from ETH’s press-time value of $3,371. At that level, Ethereum would command a market capitalization of about $3.6 trillion, positioning it as the world’s largest digital asset, assuming Bitcoin records minimal growth over the same period.

The forecast reinforces the bank’s long-standing optimism on ETH, even as it acknowledges that previous targets have not always aligned with market outcomes.

The multinational bank’s latest outlook sees

Ethereum reaching $7,500 by the end of 2026, with a longer-term trajectory that places the asset at $30,000 within the next three years. The analysis is led by the bank’s digital assets research team and is built around Ethereum’s structural role in the crypto economy rather than short-term market momentum.

Ethereum’s dominance

Standard Chartered argued that Ethereum’s strength lies in its dominance across key blockchain use cases. The network remains the primary settlement layer for stablecoins, hosts a large share of tokenized real-world assets, and continues to underpin most decentralized finance activity. According to the bank, these factors give Ethereum the potential to decouple from periods of Bitcoin weakness and sustain independent growth.

The report also reiterated a recurring theme in Standard Chartered’s research: Ethereum’s ability to outperform Bitcoin during phases when blockchain utility and adoption matter more than pure store-of-value narratives. In this view, ETH’s role as programmable financial infrastructure positions it to benefit from institutional adoption, particularly as traditional assets increasingly move on-chain.

At the same time, the bank’s latest projections reflect a more tempered stance than some of its past calls. The $7,500 target for late 2026 is lower than the $8,000 level the bank once expected Ethereum to reach by the end of 2024.

Despite that recalibration, Standard Chartered remains one of the most bullish major banks on Ethereum.

Wall Street analyst updates Amazon stock price target Stocks Wall ...

Wall Street analyst updates Amazon stock price target

Stocks

Wall Street analysts remain constructive on Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), with Bank of America Securities maintaining a bullish stance on the stock following recent developments in the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) strategy.

In this case, Justin Post of BofA reiterated a ‘Buy’ rating on Amazon shares and kept the firm’s price target unchanged at $303. Indeed, this target represents an increase of 27% from the press time price of $238

The analyst’s view is underpinned by Amazon’s expansion of its Alexa ecosystem, highlighted by the launch of Alexa.com, a web-based version of its AI assistant made available to early access users.

The move extends Alexa beyond dedicated devices and mobile apps, allowing broader access through the web and strengthening its competitive position in the AI assistant landscape.

According to the analysis, Alexa.com is positioned as a strategic differentiator by emphasizing smart home management, family-oriented use cases, and deeper integration with Amazon’s retail and services ecosystem.

These capabilities are seen as areas where Amazon can leverage its existing customer relationships and data advantages.

At the same time, BofA’s assessment suggests that the expanded reach of Alexa, combined with its focus on household and family functionality, could enhance user engagement and reinforce Amazon’s long-term monetization opportunities.

As a result, the firm sees the Alexa.com rollout as supportive of Amazon’s broader AI ambitions and a positive factor for the stock’s outlook.

Wall Street bullish on AMZN stock

Meanwhile, the general Wall Street sentiment toward Amazon remains overwhelmingly positive, with analysts projecting meaningful upside for the stock over the next 12 months. According to consensus data from TipRanks, Amazon currently carries a ‘Strong Buy’ rating, backed by 47 analyst reviews.

Of those ratings, 46 analysts recommend buying the stock, while just one suggests holding, and none advise selling.

On valuation, analysts have set an average 12-month price target of $295.72, implying upside of roughly 23.6%. Forecasts range from a low target of $250 to a high of $340.

AI predicts Tesla stock price for January 31, 2026

Stocks

The first trading days of 2026 offered little insight into how the stock of Elon Musk’s electric vehicle (EV) giant, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), might fare in January.

After a strong finish to 2025, which saw an almost uninterrupted rally from late November through late December, Tesla shares pulled back at the start of the new year. The TSLA stock fell from $449.72 to $438.07 on January 2 before rebounding to a closing price of $451.67.

With Tesla shares trading around $449.83 in pre-market action on January 6, volatility remains elevated, leaving the stock seemingly as likely to extend its correction as it is to resume its rally, setting the stage for AI-driven forecasts for January 31, 2026.

Technical indicators hint at Tesla stock price uncertainty

Technical indicators for Tesla stock are not significantly more decisive than its price movements. For example, TSLA shares remain, even following the end-of-2025 correction, above both the 200 and 50-day simple moving averages (SMA).

However, their relative strength index (RSI) reads 48, showing that the stock is neither particularly overbought nor oversold – and, thus, that it could easily fall, rally, or trade sideways.

The Moving Average Convergence

Divergence (MACD) slope, on the other hand, indicates that the upward momentum Tesla stock enjoyed between late November and late December is continuing to weaken, hinting that there will not be a powerful rally by January 31.

Finbold AI models moderately optimistic about Tesla stock January 31 price
Lastly, Finbold’s artificial intelligence (AI) prediction tool showed some optimism toward TSLA shares, despite the overall uncertainty.

On average, the involved models estimated that Tesla stock will rally 3.21% from its last closing price and reach $465.44 by January 31, based on six different technical indicators.

Simultaneously, the most optimistic model was Claude Sonnet 4, which predicted a 7.66% rally, and the most pessimistic proved to be Gemini 2.5 Flash, given that it considers TSLA stock is unlikely to rally more than 0.95% by January 31.

Ultimately, the lukewarm predictions might indeed prove accurate.

Tesla has, so far, survived with relatively weak headwinds, its announcing that fourth-quarter (Q4) deliveries came in at 418,227, 16% lower than in 2024, meaning the way is open for a rally should there be a particularly bullish announcement pertaining to a project such as the Cybercab.

1,400 new Bitcoin ATMs installed globally in 2025

Cryptocurrency

The global network of Bitcoin ATMs expanded steadily throughout 2025, signaling continued demand for physical on-ramps into cryptocurrency despite market volatility, according to Finbold’s 2025 Cryptocurrency Market Report.

Data compiled by Finbold Research using figures from Coin ATM Radar shows that the total number of Bitcoin ATMs worldwide rose from 37,722 on January 1, 2025, to 39,158 by December 31, marking a net increase of 1,436, or approximately 3.8% year over year. On average, this translates to nearly four Bitcoin ATMs installed per day globally throughout 2025.

While the pace of expansion was more measured compared with earlier boom cycles, the net growth suggests that operators continued deploying infrastructure even as price action and sentiment fluctuated.

United States remains the dominant Bitcoin ATM market

The United States continued to host the vast majority of the world’s Bitcoin ATMs. Over the course of 2025, the number of U.S.-based machines increased from 30,119 to 30,617, adding 498 ATMs.

That represents a 1.65% annual increase, or roughly 1.4 new Bitcoin ATMs per day on average in the U.S. Although growth slowed relative to earlier years, the U.S. still accounted for the majority of global installations, underscoring its role as the primary hub for retail-facing crypto infrastructure.

Australia records the fastest growth among major regions

Among major regions, Australia recorded the fastest expansion. Bitcoin ATMs in the country rose from 1,385 to 1,986, adding 601 machines, equivalent to a 43% increase in 2025.

Canada also posted solid growth, with installations rising from 3,376 to 3,660, a gain of 284 ATMs, or about 8.4% year over year. Europe added 108 machines, bringing its total to 1,760, reflecting a more modest 6.5% increase.

While Europe’s growth lagged behind other regions in absolute terms, the increase suggests ongoing infrastructure buildout despite a more fragmented regulatory landscape.

Crypto ATM growth slows compared with 2024

The pace of expansion moderated compared with 2024. Finbold reported that in 2024 the global Bitcoin ATM network grew by 2,217 machines, averaging around six new ATMs installed per day worldwide and a 6.0% annual increase.

By contrast, 2025’s growth was slower in absolute and percentage terms, signaling a transition from aggressive expansion to more selective deployment as the market matures.

The global increase in Bitcoin ATMs during 2025 comes at a time when the cryptocurrency market has increasingly shifted toward regulated digital platforms and institutional products. However, the continued rollout of physical machines suggests that demand for cash-based and in-person access to Bitcoin remains resilient.

Massive insider alert as crypto traders net over $600k profits on Maduro capture bet

Cryptocurrency

Unusual trading activity on decentralized prediction market Polymarket has drawn scrutiny after three newly created wallets collectively generated more than $630,000 in profits by betting on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro being out of office just hours before his arrest.

Blockchain data shows the wallets were set up and pre-funded several days in advance, remaining dormant until shortly before the key political event, according to insights shared by Lookonchain on January 4.

In the final hours ahead of Maduro’s arrest, the accounts suddenly placed large “Yes” positions on markets predicting that he would be out of office by late January or February 2026.

The largest gains came from wallet 0x31a5, which invested roughly $34,000 and walked away with close to $410,000 in profit after the market resolved.

A second wallet, 0xa72D, committed just under $6,000 and realized profits of about $75,000, while a third account operating under the name SBet365 invested around $25,000 and earned approximately $145,600. Together, the three wallets generated total profits of about $630,484.

Source of suspicion

Suspicion has intensified due to the narrow focus of the activity. All three wallets traded exclusively in Venezuela- and Maduro-related markets, with no history of betting on other political, economic, or social events.

Combined with the precise timing of the wagers, this has fueled claims that the traders acted on non-public information rather than market sentiment or probability-based analysis.

On-chain transfer records further show coordinated funding patterns, with capital routed into Polymarket shortly before the bets were placed and rapidly withdrawn after the outcomes resolved.

This behavior contrasts with that of typical Polymarket participants, who tend to spread risk across multiple markets and longer time horizons.

The controversy gained momentum after news broke that Maduro had been captured, an event that effectively settled the prediction markets in favor of the “Yes” outcome.

While Polymarket operates permissionlessly and does not verify the identity or intent of traders, the episode raises questions about the vulnerability of prediction markets to insider activity during sensitive geopolitical events.

XRP’s market cap has lost $98 billion from its 2025 peak

Cryptocurrency

XRP’s 2025 rally has unwound sharply, with the token shedding roughly $98 billion in market value from its peak earlier this year, despite renewed trading activity and elevated volumes toward year-end.

In particular, XRP’s market capitalization peaked at approximately $210.4 billion on July 22, 2025, when the token traded near $3.56.

As of December 26, XRP is trading around $1.86, giving it a market cap of roughly $112.8 billion, according to data from CoinMarketCap retrieved by Finbold.

The current total worth of the XRP ledger token represents a decline of about $97.6 billion from the absolute peak.

XRP price peaked near $3.56
XRP’s July surge was abrupt and event-driven, with the token jumping from the mid-$2 range to above $3.50 in a matter of days. However, the move proved unsustainable. Selling pressure emerged almost immediately, and XRP failed to establish a higher support zone above $3, leading to a prolonged downtrend through August, September, and November.

By late December, XRP had retraced more than 40% from its yearly high, reflecting fading momentum and increased profit-taking following the summer rally, despite the approval of Spot XRP ETFs.

Market cap data confirms $98 billion valuation drawdown
The market-cap chart reinforces this picture. After briefly breaking above the $210 billion threshold, XRP’s valuation entered a steady decline, marked by lower highs and lower lows. Even periods of increased trading volume, including a notable spike around late November, failed to reverse the broader trend.

As of December 26, XRP’s market capitalization sits near $112.8 billion, placing it well below its 2025 peak and highlighting the scale of capital that exited the asset after the rally cooled.

Can XRP reclaim key support levels in 2026?
As for next year, XRP’s ability to reclaim lost ground will likely depend on whether it can stabilize above the $1.80–$2 range and convert former resistance into support. Without a sustained break higher, the charts suggest the token remains in a consolidation phase following one of the most aggressive boom-and-bust cycles of 2025.

ChatGPT builds a $1,000 stock portfolio for 2026

Stocks

As 2026 approaches, investors are navigating a market shaped by moderating interest rates, persistent geopolitical risk, and an artificial intelligence boom that is evolving from hype into infrastructure.

To identify where long-term capital may be best positioned, we asked ChatGPT to construct a hypothetical $1,000 stock portfolio based on market conditions as of December 26, 2025, focusing on durability, pricing power, and exposure to structural growth trends.

Rather than chasing speculative momentum, OpenAI’s ChatGPT stock portfolio prioritizes companies with recurring revenue, strong balance sheets, and clear demand visibility heading into 2026.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT’s 2026 stock portfolio
At the core of the portfolio is Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), which receives the largest allocation at 25%, or $250. Microsoft’s diversified business model spanning enterprise software, cloud computing, and AI-driven services makes it a natural anchor in an uncertain macro environment. As AI adoption accelerates across corporate workflows,

Azure and Microsoft’s productivity ecosystem provide a direct monetization path while offering downside protection relative to more volatile growth names.

Nvidia remains central to global AI infrastructure
The second-largest position is Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) at 20%, or $200. Nvidia remains central to global AI infrastructure spending, supplying the high-performance chips required for data centers, large language models, and advanced computing workloads.

While the stock can be volatile, the multi-year buildout of AI infrastructure keeps Nvidia firmly positioned as a key beneficiary into 2026.

Broadcom offers balanced exposure across the AI stack
To complement Nvidia, Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) receives a 15% allocation. Broadcom offers exposure to networking, custom silicon, and AI-related infrastructure while also benefiting from its diversified software and semiconductor businesses. This balance helps smooth returns if AI spending rotates across different parts of the technology stack.

Energy security is another defining theme for 2026, which is why Constellation Energy (NASDAQ: CEG) accounts for 15% of the portfolio. Rising electricity demand from data centers and AI workloads is putting pressure on power grids, and large-scale generation assets stand to benefit from this structural shift.

Geopolitical resilience

Geopolitical uncertainty remains elevated, supporting a 15% allocation to Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT). Defense spending tends to stay resilient even during economic slowdowns, providing portfolio stability alongside long-term security demand.

Rounding out the portfolio is Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) at 10%. Healthcare offers defensive characteristics, and Lilly’s strong growth outlook helps balance cyclical exposure elsewhere in the portfolio.

Together, this $1,000 portfolio blends growth, defense, energy, and healthcare exposure, aiming to capture opportunity while managing risk as markets head into 2026.

Top 3 big tech stocks to buy in 2026 Stocks It wouldn’t be ...

Top 3 big tech stocks to buy in 2026

Stocks

It wouldn’t be amiss to say that this year has been defined by the technology sector, given its astonishing run. As the adoption of some of the leading trends, such as artificial intelligence (AI), is likely to continue next year, Finbold has covered the top 3 big tech stocks to buy in 2026.

2. Nvidia (NVDA)

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has posted a 41.33% gain year-to-date, trading at $189.79 at the time of writing.

The chipmaker has firmly established itself as a tech leader with its seemingly unshakeable position in the AI chip market and partnerships with major players such as Meta (NASDAQ: META).

As a result, as long as the sector, and more specifically Nvidia’s partners, continue pushing innovation in AI infrastructure and data center technology, Nvidia is positioned to profit.

This is especially true given the versatile application of the company’s products. Indeed, its chips and services are a go-to solution in AI, robotics, gaming, autonomous driving, and many other spheres.

On December 15, the management also announced new open-source AI models, Nemotron 3, just as CEO Jensen Huan promised in a note that innovation was still the key concern.

Amazon (AMZN)

Compared to Nvidia, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) had a much more subtle run this year, gaining 5.86% and trading at $232.25 at press time.

However, Amazon is reaping quite a lot of benefits from artificial intelligence, using the technology to streamline its e-commerce operations and supply partners with related services through its Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform, whose annualized revenue run rate exceeds $132 billion.

Since 2022, AWS’s power capacity has doubled, and the goal is to do the same by 2027. At the same time, Amazon’s Trainium-based AI infrastructure has grown into a multibillion-dollar business. If the industry continues spending next year, it is clear why Amazon could stand to capitalize on the momentum.

Palantir (PLTR)

Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) has been one of the best-performing stocks this year, with share prices more than doubling year-to-date amid accelerating AI adoption. At the time of publication, PTR shares were thus changing hands at $194.44, up 157% since January.

Having beaten all expectations in Q3, the software leader lifted revenue guidance to as much as about $4.4 billion, showing confidence in future sales.

Also notable is Palantir’s deep connection with the U.S. government, which provides a steady cash flow. Still, the true potential probably lies in growing commercial adoption, which could send the stock sky-high next year.

One true caveat, however, is that many investors now see Palantir as highly overvalued. Accordingly, while PTR may be one of the big tech stocks to buy in 2026, a dose of risk tolerance is necessary.

What are the top 3 big tech stocks to buy in 2026?
In sum, the tech sector is set to continue on its upward trajectory in 2026, particularly with the increasing commercial adoption of AI and related technologies. Nvidia, Amazon, and Palantir each stand to capitalize on this momentum, and while investments inherently carry some risk, investors looking for exposure to the sector should monitor them in the coming months.

Analyst sets Nvidia’s (NVDA) share price after $20B Groq deal

Stocks

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is going up today, Friday, December 26, once again trading above $190 following a newly struck deal with Groq, an American artificial intelligence (AI) company. As the partnership is expected to boost the company’s growth next year, analysts are already setting new Nvidia stock price targets for 2026.

Namely, Rosenblatt Securities analyst Stacy Rasgon has reiterated its positive stance on the chipmaker, issuing a new Nvidia price target of $245 and citing its leadership across the AI sector.

Specifically, the analyst noted that the non-exclusive licensing agreement covering Groq’s inference technology is a strong catalyst, adding that several senior Groq executives will join Nvidia as part of the agreement.

The deal is thus analyzed as strategically meaningful for Nvidia, as Rasgon has argued that it could mitigate some investors’ worries that Alphabet’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) might be an obstacle on Nvidia’s path.

“NVIDIA management has not made public comments on this agreement. Strategically we view that licensing an inference technology as important for NVIDIA. This would address concerns around Google’s TPU taking GPU market share as AI expands into the inference stage,” the analyst wrote.

New Nvidia stock price target

Rasgon’s new figure implies a 30% upside from the current price levels, but it is still somewhat short of the average 12-month Nvidia price target of 263.58, which suggests the stock has enough room to go up more than 37%, according to 41 analysts whose takes have been reported by TipRanks.

Nonetheless, the number is sufficiently high to highlight the potential for Nvidia’s CUDA software ecosystem to help extend Groq’s Language Processing Unit (LPU). This, Rasgon argues, could further consolidate Nvidia’s competitive edge in AI.

AI predicts Shiba Inu (SHIB) price for 2026

Cryptocurrency

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is currently experiencing increased volatility, with an artificial intelligence (AI) model suggesting the meme coin could see modest gains at the start of 2026.

Generally, SHIB has had a difficult year, dropping nearly 70%, with technical indicators adding to the bearish outlook.

Notably, the token formed its first-ever weekly death cross this year, signaling potential downside risks.

As of press time, SHIB was trading at $0.00000711, down 0.2% over the past 24 hours, while losses on the weekly timeframe exceeded 10%.

SHIB seven-day price chart. Source: Finbold
At its current valuation, Shiba Inu is trading below its 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of $0.000008648, pointing to short-term bearish pressure and continued downside momentum.

However, the token remains well above its 200-day SMA of $0.000001155, indicating that the longer-term trend remains positive when viewed against earlier low-price periods.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 34.56, placing SHIB in neutral territory but with a bearish tilt. This suggests the asset is neither overbought nor oversold, though it is approaching levels that could precede either a rebound or further weakness.

Looking ahead to the first day of 2026, the Finbold AI model projects a cautiously optimistic price path based on short-term predictive analytics and technical indicators.

The model forecasts SHIB trading at an average price of $0.0000072933, representing a potential upside of about 2.6% from the reference price at the time of the forecast. While the projection window covers late December, it is intended as an early directional signal for SHIB’s performance heading into 2026.

It’s worth noting that the Finbold AI model aggregates forecasts from several large language models. Among these, Claude Sonnet 4 offered the most bullish outlook, projecting SHIB at $0.00000768, implying upside of just over 8%. Gemini 2.5 Flash presented a more conservative scenario, forecasting a slight dip to $0.00000705, while GPT-4o pointed to a modest increase toward $0.00000715.

From a technical standpoint, the model factored in indicators such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence and the Relative Strength Index. These signals point to subdued momentum but suggest signs of stabilization following recent weakness.

Overall, the Finbold AI model indicates that Shiba Inu may enter 2026 with a mild upward bias rather than a strong breakout.

However, the token’s trajectory will largely depend on broader crypto market sentiment, which remains under pressure as prices stay in the red and bullish participation remains muted.

XRP just flashed set up for major price rebound; Is 3 next?

Cryptocurrency

A ray of hope is emerging for XRP, which may help the token reclaim the $2 resistance zone after several days of trading below that level.

In this context, the token is flashing a contrarian signal that has historically preceded strong upside moves, as market sentiment on social media turns decisively negative while price action stabilizes.

Data tracking social media commentary shows that negative sentiment is dominating discussions around the token, a condition that has repeatedly coincided with local market bottoms rather than sustained declines, according to insights shared by Santiment on December 23.

Sentiment has slipped back into the fear zone, where retail pessimism has historically coincided with price rebounds, while prior spikes in greed have tended to precede corrections rather than sustained rallies. This outlook suggests accumulation rather than distribution.

XRP price consolidation

After a prolonged pullback, XRP has consolidated above recent lows as volatility tightens, with price hovering near historical sentiment extremes that have previously marked upside launch points. Similar sentiment troughs in the past were followed by recovery phases as bearish expectations faded, allowing modest demand to trigger sharp rebounds.

Focus is now on whether a rebound can carry XRP toward the psychological $3 level. While not guaranteed, past recoveries from comparable sentiment lows have produced multi-week advances, and a break above recent consolidation highs would strengthen the case for a broader trend reversal.

However, XRP will also need support from the broader cryptocurrency market to first reclaim the $2 level. In recent sessions, the token’s price action has largely been dictated by overall market sentiment.

XRP price analysis

By press time, XRP was trading at $1.90, down about 1.5% over the past 24 hours, while on the weekly timeframe, the asset is lower by roughly 0.5%.

Technically, XRP remains under pressure, trading below both its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at $2.15 and its 200-day simple moving average at $2.54, signaling sustained downside bias and a potential longer-term downtrend.

The 14-day relative strength index (RSI) stands at 41.30, a neutral reading that points to neither overbought nor oversold conditions. This leaves room for short-term stabilization, but limited bullish momentum persists amid elevated volatility of 5.29% and continued extreme fear in overall market sentiment.

Trading expert sets date when Bitcoin will drop to $38,000

Cryptocurrency

As Bitcoin (BTC) battles sustained bearishness around the $90,000 level, insights from a trading expert suggest the asset could see further correction toward the $37,000 zone.

In this case, insights from cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez identified this potential move based on Bitcoin’s quarterly price structure.

In an X post in December, the analysis highlighted a recurring boom-and-bust cycle that has defined every major bull and bear market since Bitcoin’s inception. Historically, each major rally has been followed by a prolonged correction lasting roughly one year, with drawdowns ranging between 70% and 85% from peak levels.

Bitcoin key price levels to watch

The analysis argues that Bitcoin’s current structure closely resembles past cycle tops. After peaking near $126,000, a potential 70% decline is projected, consistent with previous bear markets, implying a bottom in the $37,000–$38,000 range that aligns with former major support zones.

Historically, bear-market declines have unfolded over about four quarterly candles, or roughly 12 months. Using this pattern, the analyst estimates the next major low could form in about 288 days, placing the likely bottom around October 2026.

Past market bottoms have also tended to develop through prolonged periods of low volatility and thinning volume rather than sharp reversals, suggesting that even near $37,000, consolidation is more likely than an immediate rebound.

This outlook likely adds further pressure to Bitcoin’s price, which has struggled in recent sessions to mount a decisive move above $90,000. These struggles have been driven in part by cooling demand from institutional vehicles in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and cautious positioning ahead of the year-end holiday period.

Bitcoin price analysis

At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $89,506, up 1.7% over the past 24 hours, while on the weekly timeframe, the asset has posted a modest gain.

Notably, at the current price, Bitcoin sits below both its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of $93,693 and its 200-day SMA of $101,460, signaling bearish momentum across both short- and long-term trends, with these levels acting as key resistance.

Meanwhile, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) at 46.17 remains neutral, indicating neither overbought nor oversold conditions and suggesting a lack of strong directional bias for an imminent reversal.

Nvidia to pay dividends this week Stocks Nvidia is set to pay its ...

Nvidia to pay dividends this week

Stocks

Nvidia is set to pay its next quarterly dividend this week, as the chipmaker’s shares climb in premarket trading on renewed optimism around AI chip shipments to China.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) will distribute a cash dividend of $0.01 per share on December 26, 2025, according to the company. The ex-dividend date is December 4, 2025, meaning shareholders must have owned the stock before that date to be eligible for the payout.

The dividend represents a forward annual yield of roughly 0.021%, based on Nvidia’s current stock price of $188.15, with a forward payout ratio of about 0.60%, reflecting the AI company’s continued emphasis on reinvestment and share buybacks over income generation.

Nvidia shares closed at $180.99 on Friday and were trading around $184.32 in premarket, up 1.84%, following reports that the company plans to begin shipping its H200 AI chips to China by mid-February. Initial shipments are expected to fulfill roughly 5,000 to 10,000 modules from existing inventory, with additional production capacity planned to come online in Q2 2026.

The prospect of resumed China shipments has provided a boost to sentiment, as investors assess Nvidia’s ability to navigate export restrictions while sustaining demand for its high-end AI accelerators.

Capital returns remain substantial

While Nvidia’s dividend remains modest, the company continues to return significant capital to shareholders through repurchases. In its Q3 fiscal 2026 results, covering the quarter ended October 26, 2025, Nvidia reported that it had returned $37.0 billion to shareholders via share buybacks and dividends during the first nine months of the fiscal year.

At quarter-end, Nvidia also disclosed $62.2 billion remaining under its share repurchase authorization, underscoring management’s preference for buybacks as its primary capital return mechanism.

As Nvidia continues to dominate AI infrastructure spending while balancing capital returns, the upcoming dividend serves as a small but symbolic payout alongside much larger buyback-driven shareholder rewards.

Gold just flashed major crash signal after record high price

Finance

Gold surged to a fresh record on Monday, capping one of its strongest rallies in modern history, but technical indicators are now warning that the move may be overstretched.

In this case, on the monthly chart, gold’s relative strength index (RSI) has climbed to roughly 93, the highest reading ever recorded for the metal.

Notably, an RSI above 70 signals overbought conditions, above 80 is considered extreme, and readings above 90 have historically marked unsustainable momentum, often followed by sharp corrections or prolonged consolidation.

Gold has never sustained a monthly RSI at this level without a significant pullback or a multi-year pause.

This technical warning comes as some analysts caution that the current momentum may be vulnerable to profit-taking.

Gold hits new record highs

It also coincides with spot gold briefly reaching about $4,420 an ounce before easing. Gains now exceed 68% for the year, the strongest annual rise since 1979. By press time, the metal was trading near $4,412, up 1.6% on the day.

The rally has been driven by expectations of U.S. interest rate cuts, a weaker dollar, strong safe-haven demand, and escalating geopolitical risks.

Markets are pricing in two Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2026 following softer U.S. inflation and labor data. Lower rate expectations tend to favor non-yielding assets such as gold, as bond returns become less attractive.

Geopolitical tensions, including tighter U.S. pressure on Venezuelan oil exports and stalled negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, have further supported demand.

Indeed, gold began the year near $2,600 an ounce and advanced steadily as trade tensions, tariff risks, and uncertainty around U.S. monetary policy intensified. Silver and platinum have also rallied sharply, with silver hitting a record high.

Another key driver has been sustained central bank buying, as institutions increase physical gold reserves to hedge economic uncertainty, reduce reliance on the dollar, and diversify portfolios, a trend Goldman Sachs expects to continue into 2026.

A weaker U.S. dollar has further supported prices by making gold cheaper for overseas buyers.

Here's how much XRP Ripple has dumped in 2025 Cryptocurrency ...

Here's how much XRP Ripple has dumped in 2025

Cryptocurrency

In 2025, Ripple continued one of the cryptocurrency market’s most scrutinized practices of monthly unlocking of XRP from escrow and the partial relocking of those tokens to manage supply.

The system is a programmed supply mechanism designed to balance liquidity, ecosystem needs, and price stability as new tokens enter the market.

Notably, XRP has a fixed supply of 100 billion tokens, all pre-mined at launch. To manage circulation, Ripple placed about 55 billion XRP in time-locked escrow, unlocking one billion tokens per month in batches.

Most of each release is relocked, with only 20% to 40% used for operations, partnerships, institutional demand, or broader ecosystem needs.

Escrow data from 2025 shows that roughly 12 billion XRP was unlocked over the year, averaging one billion per month. Most of this was relocked, typically around 700 million XRP monthly, leaving about 300 million XRP per month outside escrow.

Value of XRP dumped in market

In total, this added roughly 3.6 billion XRP to the market. At a current XRP price of $1.90, that supply equates to approximately $6.8 billion in value.

At the same time, claims that Ripple is aggressively dumping XRP assume that all unlocked tokens are immediately sold on exchanges, an interpretation not supported by the data.

Most tokens are either relocked or directed toward operational uses such as On-Demand Liquidity or institutional partnerships. Market reactions to the monthly unlocks in 2025 have generally been modest and short-lived, with minimal impact on XRP price.

Analysts note that the predictability of the escrow schedule limits surprise selling pressure as the asset has been mainly traded in tandem with the broader market sentiment.

2 best performing Jim Cramer 2025 picks

Stocks

In a year defined by elevated volatility, two of Jim Cramer’s 2025 stock picks have emerged as clear outperformers.

Their gains stand out not only for their magnitude but also because they run counter to long-standing criticism of Cramer’s past calls, many of which have been linked to poorly timed enthusiasm and subsequent underperformance.

In 2025, however, these winners have been supported by measurable financial improvements and sector-specific tailwinds.

Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ: LRCX)
Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ: LRCX) has been one of the strongest performers among large-cap semiconductor stocks. By press time, the shares were trading at $172.27, up 137% year to date.

The rally has been fueled by a recovery and expansion in wafer fabrication equipment spending, which industry analysts estimate reached about $105 billion in 2025, up sharply from the prior year.

Lam’s exposure to deposition and etch tools used in advanced logic and memory manufacturing placed it at the center of renewed capital spending by chipmakers focused on artificial intelligence and high-performance computing.

Financially, Lam delivered multiple earnings beats during the year. Revenue growth accelerated into the high single-digit to low double-digit range year over year in key quarters, while operating margins stayed above 30%, reflecting strong pricing power and cost discipline.

The company’s free cash flow reached $5.4 billion in fiscal 2025, roughly 29% of revenue, marking a record level and pointing to robust internal cash generation.

Notably, Cramer has specifically pointed to Lam’s valuation as a key attraction, characterizing the shares as inexpensive relative to their earnings power and industry position.

Expedia Group (NASDAQ: EXPE)

Expedia Group (NASDAQ: EXPE) has also delivered meaningful shareholder value in 2025, benefiting from a broad recovery in travel demand and improved operational performance that translated into strong earnings.

By press time, the stock was trading at $289.25, up 56% year to date, representing a solid rebound for a company previously weighed down by uneven results.

Cramer has highlighted Expedia’s relative valuation versus competitors, noting that it trades at a lower earnings multiple than rivals such as Booking Holdings, a point he has cited to support interest in the stock despite industry headwinds.

In the third quarter of 2025, Expedia reported revenue of $4.41 billion, up about 9% year over year, and adjusted earnings per share of $7.57, a 23% increase from the prior year that comfortably beat expectations.

Gross bookings rose roughly 12% to $30.73 billion, while booked room nights climbed 11% to 108.2 million, signaling sustained consumer engagement.

We are headed for ‘massive recession,’ and the ‘Fed is blind’, warns top economist

Finance

Economist Henrik Zeberg has warned about the direction of the U.S. economy, arguing that the Federal Reserve is failing to recognize clear signals pointing to a severe downturn.

According to Zeberg, the risk of a major recession is rapidly increasing, even as policymakers remain confident in their analytical frameworks and forecasting tools, he said in an X post on December 21.

At the center of his critique is what he described as a fundamental failure in economic interpretation rather than a lack of data or expertise.

Zeberg noted that the Federal Reserve employs hundreds of highly trained economists, yet still misses what he sees as an obvious and revealing economic pattern.

“Ladies & Gentlemen – we are heading right towards a massive recession – and the FED is completely blind despite extreme amount of resources,” he said.

Reality of business cycle

In his view, excessive complexity in analysis has obscured rather than clarified the underlying reality of the business cycle.

Zeberg emphasized that understanding the proper sequence of events within the business cycle is critical to anticipating recessions. He suggested that without a clear grasp of how economic phases unfold and interact, even years of study and vast institutional resources can lead to flawed conclusions. This misreading, he argued, has left policymakers ill-prepared for what lies ahead.

The economist’s assessment implies that the Fed’s current outlook underestimates the severity and timing of the looming downturn. Despite unprecedented access to data, research capacity, and analytical models, Zeberg believes the central bank is effectively operating without a clear line of sight into the next phase of the economic cycle.

To support his bearish outlook, Zeberg of Swissblock pointed to U.S. unemployment, arguing that it has preceded every major recession and remains a “never wrong” indicator.

He warned that rising joblessness suggests the economy is nearing a recession. U.S. unemployment reached 4.6% in November, the highest level in four years, edging closer to the Sahm Rule threshold and lifting recession odds to about 40%.

Zeberg maintained that weakening labor, housing, and consumer indicators point to a severe contraction ahead, with short-term Fed liquidity unlikely to offset deeper structural pressures.

ChatGPT builds a $1,000 crypto portfolio for 2026

Cryptocurrency

The cryptocurrency market has had a rollercoaster run in 2025, with most assets hitting record highs before the current pullback.

In this environment, portfolio selection becomes critical, as choosing the right assets is key to maximizing returns while managing the sector’s inherent volatility.

Looking ahead to 2026, Finbold asked OpenAI’s ChatGPT to construct a $1,000 crypto portfolio designed to balance liquidity, infrastructure exposure, and differentiated growth opportunities, while deliberately avoiding the most crowded trades.

Below is the model’s selection and allocations.

Bitcoin and Ethereum

The portfolio is anchored by Bitcoin (BTC) with a $250 allocation. While its weighting is lower than in many traditional crypto portfolios, ChatGPT noted that Bitcoin remains foundational as the market’s primary liquidity hub, supported by institutional adoption, its store-of-value role, and its tendency to lead market cycles.

Ethereum (ETH) follows with a $200 allocation. Despite rising competition, ChatGPT argued that Ethereum remains the dominant settlement layer for decentralized finance, tokenized real-world assets, and enterprise blockchain use cases.

Tokenization and infrastructure

Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, the portfolio emphasized tokenization and infrastructure. Ondo Finance received $120 as exposure to bringing traditional assets such as U.S. Treasuries on-chain, reflecting demand for compliant, yield-bearing products. Chainlink (LINK) was also allocated $120, positioned to benefit from tokenization and cross-chain activity through its leading oracle and messaging services.

The portfolio also included emerging blockchain architectures. In this line, ChatGPT selected Celestia (TIA), with a $100 allocation, representing a bet on modular blockchain design that separates data availability from execution and consensus, potentially improving scalability and lowering barriers for developers if the modular thesis gains traction.

Computing and artificial intelligence
In the high-performance computing and artificial intelligence segment, Render (RNDR) received $80. The project focuses on decentralized GPU rendering, aligning blockchain incentives with growing demand for compute power from AI, 3D graphics, and immersive digital environments.

Kaspa (KAS) is allocated $70 as a technically differentiated proof-of-work network using a blockDAG architecture. By prioritizing fast confirmations and high throughput while retaining proof-of-work security, it offers an alternative scaling model outside the dominant Bitcoin and Ethereum frameworks.

Rounding out the portfolio is Arbitrum (ARB) with a $60 allocation, positioned to benefit from Ethereum’s growth by capturing activity and fees as users migrate to Layer 2 networks for lower costs and higher throughput.

Overall, the $1,000 portfolio allocates less than half to Bitcoin and Ethereum, with the remainder focused on infrastructure, tokenization, scalability, and compute-driven use cases.

ChatGPT argued this reflects an expectation that the next phase of crypto growth will favor projects tied to real economic activity and technical utility rather than purely narrative-driven momentum.

AI picks 2 stock sectors to dominate in 2026

Stocks

As investors look beyond a volatile 2025, market focus is shifting toward structural forces expected to shape equity performance in the year ahead.

With the technology sector having dominated returns in recent years, attention is now turning to whether it can sustain its momentum in 2026.

In this line, Finbold turned to OpenAI’s ChatGPT artificial intelligence model to identify sectors with durable earnings power and resilience that could dominate in 2026.

Using current market signals and forward-looking trends, ChatGPT identified the following two sectors.

Technology

ChatGPT maintained that technology is likely to remain the primary engine of market leadership in 2026, driven by the continued expansion of artificial intelligence across industries.

The model noted that major investment banks and strategists broadly expect AI to remain the most powerful growth catalyst for corporate earnings, as companies continue to ramp up spending on cloud computing, semiconductors, and digital transformation.

Forecasts from large financial institutions suggest AI-related investment will be a key contributor to overall market gains in 2026, keeping technology at the centre of earnings growth.

According to ChatGPT, the scale and persistence of infrastructure demand further strengthen the sector’s outlook. AI development requires vast computing capacity, sustaining heavy investment in data centres, networking equipment, software platforms, and automation tools.

This spending cycle is benefiting a wide range of technology companies, from chip designers to cloud service providers, reinforcing the view that AI-driven growth is structural rather than speculative.

ChatGPT noted that several technology subsegments are advancing in parallel, including AI-focused semiconductors, software platforms monetizing AI through subscriptions and enterprise solutions, and cloud and data infrastructure supporting increasingly digital operations.

The model added that this broad adoption across corporate and consumer markets positions technology as the leading growth engine in 2026, even if performance varies at the company level.

Healthcare

Alongside technology, ChatGPT identified healthcare as a second sector poised to lead in 2026, combining innovation-led growth with defensive characteristics. Demand remains relatively stable during economic slowdowns, making the sector attractive amid elevated valuations and persistent volatility.

ChatGPT noted that healthcare is undergoing a technological shift, with artificial intelligence accelerating drug discovery, improving diagnostics, enabling personalized medicine, and enhancing operational efficiency. These advances are creating new revenue streams beyond traditional demographic-driven demand.

Meanwhile, after lagging broader markets in recent years, many healthcare stocks are trading at relative discounts. To this end, ChatGPT highlighted growing expectations for mean reversion, supported by catalysts such as biotech mergers and acquisitions, new drug approvals, and the expansion of digital health solutions.
The sector’s diversification further strengthens its appeal.

Notably, healthcare spans pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, medical devices and diagnostics, and healthcare services, combining innovation exposure with the stability of essential services linked to aging populations and long-term care needs.

Warning: XRP under threat of deeper pullback to $0.79 support ...

Warning: XRP under threat of deeper pullback to $0.79 support

Cryptocurrency

XRP’s troubled late-2025 run is likely to extend further, with the asset facing the risk of revisiting trading below the $1 level.

In this context, insights from prominent on-chain cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez warned that XRP is showing weakening support below the $1.77 price level, increasing the probability of a deeper corrective move toward the $0.79 zone, according to an X post published on December 20.

The analysis is based on the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) chart from Glassnode, which shows a significant portion of XRP supply concentrated at higher price levels, while demand clusters thin out sharply below $1.77.

The URPD data indicates that XRP accumulated heavily between $1.95 and $2.14, leaving many holders underwater as prices fall, a setup that historically adds sell pressure.

The $1.77 level stands out as a key pivot, with thin realized volume beneath it, signaling weak support if it breaks. Below $1.77, the strongest realized supply cluster sits near $0.79, a major historical accumulation zone that could attract price during a deeper correction.

Intermediate areas around $1.41, $1.27, and $1.01 show limited realized supply and are likely to offer only brief pauses rather than a durable floor.

It is worth noting that XRP has been under immense pressure in recent sessions despite several catalysts, including impressive inflows into the asset’s spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Even so, the asset is showing short-term strength in line with broader market sentiment, led by Bitcoin’s (BTC) attempt to reclaim the $90,000 level.

XRP price analysis

By press time, XRP was trading at $1.95, up 4.5% over the past 24 hours, while on a weekly basis the asset has declined by more than 4%.

Notably, at the current price, XRP remains well below its key moving averages (MA), reinforcing a bearish technical structure.

The 50-day simple moving average near $2.18 and the 200-day SMA around $2.55 are both above the current price, signaling that short- and long-term momentum remains tilted to the downside. This alignment suggests rallies may face resistance unless XRP can reclaim at least the 50-day average.

Meanwhile, the 14-day RSI stands at roughly 41, indicating neutral but weak momentum. While XRP is not yet oversold, the RSI remains below the 50 midpoint, showing that buying pressure is still subdued.

American economist blasts Trump's DJT for lacking ...

American economist blasts Trump's DJT for lacking 'intrinsic value'

Stocks

American economist Peter Schiff has criticised Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ: DJT), arguing that the company lacks any meaningful intrinsic value beyond its association with President Donald Trump.

The remarks come as DJT draws renewed attention following its latest strategic shift, a proposed merger with fusion energy firm TAE Technologies.

According to Schiff’s assessment, DJT’s evolution points to the absence of a coherent underlying business model, as outlined in an X post on December 18.

The company initially launched as a social media platform centred on Truth Social, positioning itself as an alternative to mainstream networks. As growth stalled and monetisation challenges persisted, DJT broadened its ambitions, rebranding as a financial technology and cryptocurrency-focused entity with plans to hold Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.

“DJT, a company owned by Donald Trump, has little intrinsic value beyond its connection to the President. It began as a social media company, pivoted into a Bitcoin treasury company, and is now merging with a fusion energy company. The constant reinvention makes clear that the business itself is not the point,” he said

According to the economist, the latest pivot into advanced energy through a multibillion-dollar fusion merger represents yet another dramatic reinvention.

Schiff’s critique centres on the idea that these strategic shifts are not driven by operational synergies or proven cash-flow potential, but by the perceived political capital attached to the Trump brand.

From this perspective, DJT’s primary asset is not technology, media reach, or energy expertise, but proximity to political power. The merger with a capital-intensive, heavily regulated fusion energy firm highlights the view that access to influence and expectations of favourable treatment may outweigh the value of the underlying businesses.

“The only real value DJT offers an energy company is political leverage: access to power and the prospect of favorable treatment from the Trump administration,” he added.

DJT – TAE Technologies deal

The proposed all-stock merger with TAE Technologies values the combined entity at more than $6 billion. It would effectively transform DJT into one of the few publicly listed companies tied to nuclear fusion research.

Management has framed the deal as a long-term bet on clean energy and rising power demand from data centres and artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Plans outlined by the companies include early-stage construction of a utility-scale fusion facility later in the decade, although commercial viability remains uncertain.

Market reaction to the fusion announcement has been volatile, with DJT shares experiencing sharp gains following the news. At the close of Friday’s session, DJT was trading at $16.09, ending the day up more than 8%. Over the past five days, the stock has rallied by over 50%.

The deal may be viewed as a welcome opportunity for investors, considering DJT has struggled for much of the year, with the stock down more than 50% year to date.

AI predicts Bitcoin price Q1 2026

Cryptocurrency

Bitcoin (BTC) is likely to trade above the $100,000 mark in the first three months of 2026, despite the asset experiencing increased volatility, according to insights by an AI model.

Indeed, Bitcoin is ending 2025 having lost a major support zone at $100,000, with the risk of dropping below $80,000.

To determine how the leading cryptocurrency might trade in the first quarter of the new year, Finbold sought insights from OpenAI’s ChatGPT model, which outlined several scenarios.

ChatGPT projects that Bitcoin is likely to enter the first quarter of 2026, emerging from a late-2025 consolidation phase, with price action favoring gradual upside continuation rather than an immediate explosive rally.

In its base-case outlook, ChatGPT sees Bitcoin trading between $95,000 and $120,000 in Q1, supported by post-halving supply constraints, renewed long-term holder accumulation, and stabilizing spot Bitcoin ETF flows following year-end rebalancing.

The model also expects a modest improvement in risk appetite as macro uncertainty eases, enabling Bitcoin to reclaim the $100,000 level and move higher in a more orderly advance. This remains the most likely scenario if the current market structure holds.

ChatGPT’s bullish scenario sees Bitcoin reaching between $130,000 and $150,000 in Q1 2026, driven by early catalysts such as renewed institutional inflows into spot ETFs, clearer signals of monetary easing or liquidity expansion, or a broader return to risk-on assets, potentially accelerating price discovery above prior highs.

On the downside, the model outlined a bear-case range of $70,000 to $80,000 if ETF outflows persist, macro conditions tighten unexpectedly, or key long-term support levels fail and trigger forced selling. Even in this case, ChatGPT views the move as a cyclical reset rather than a breakdown of the broader bull market structure.

Bitcoin monthly price for 2026

On a monthly basis, ChatGPT expects January 2026 to act as a transition phase, with Bitcoin trading between $85,000 and $100,000. Residual selling pressure, ETF rebalancing, and thin liquidity could keep volatility elevated, while long-term buyers absorb downside. Holding above the mid-$80,000 range would signal the formation of a durable base.

February is projected to see Bitcoin trade between $95,000 and $115,000 as uncertainty fades, ETF flows stabilize, and supportive macro conditions allow a reclaim of the $100,000 level despite periodic pullbacks.

March carries the highest likelihood of a decisive move, with a projected range of $105,000 to $130,000, as sustained acceptance above $100,000 draws sidelined capital, leverage, and renewed speculative demand.

Overall, ChatGPT assigned a 60% probability that Bitcoin ends Q1 2026 between $105,000 and $120,000, a 25% chance of range-bound trading between $90,000 and $105,000, and a 15% risk of a deeper pullback toward $70,000 to $80,000.

By press time, Bitcoin was trading at $86,877, down 0.4% over the past day. On the weekly timeframe, the asset was also in the red, lower by 5.5%.

As things stand, Bitcoin is trading well below both its 50-day SMA of $95,970 and its 200-day SMA of $102,221. This positioning points to a firm bearish trend, with the price remaining under key moving averages and the 50-day SMA below the 200-day SMA, signaling sustained downward momentum across both medium- and long-term horizons.

On the other hand, the 14-day RSI stands at 41.32, firmly in neutral territory but leaning toward the lower end. This suggests moderate selling pressure without reaching oversold conditions, leaving room for further downside before a strong reversal signal emerges.

$200 million in crypto longs wiped out in 1 hour

Cryptocurrency

In a sudden show of volatility, the crypto market saw nearly $200 million in long positions wiped out in just one hour on Monday, December 15.

The sudden sell-offs pushed total long liquidations beyond $366 million on the day, highlighting the fragility of leveraged trades amid heightened uncertainty, as evidenced by real-time liquidation data Finbold assessed on Coinglass.

Notably, the largest single liquidation order happened on the Binance cryptocurrency exchange platform, valued at $5.26 million, while Bybit reported the biggest number of liquidations overall ($62.94 million).

Accounting for the short positions as well, a total of 144,715 traders were liquidated, with the overall liquidations coming in at just shy of $450 million.

Bitcoin longs suffer the biggest losses, Ethereum close behind
Bitcoin (BTC) longs were the most severely affected, as nearly $70 million was rekt in an hour as just as the cryptocurrency was down 2.6% on the 24-hour chart. BTC price fell below $87,000, the lowest levels since December 1, was the primary catalyst.

The pullback in Bitcoin naturally affected the rest of the market. Ethereum (ETH), which is down 2.4%, was a close second, with nearly $64 million liquidated. Solana (SOL), 2.2% in the red, followed with a $12.10 million loss, while Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP each plunged 3.7% and posted liquidations of $5.7 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

The losses came amid a $50 billion plunge in market value, which took the overall crypto market cap from $3.05 trillion down to $3 trillion between 3 p.m. (UTC) and 4 p.m. (UTC) on the same day, according to CoinMarketCap.

Analyst predicts $800 Tesla stock price target for 2026 Stocks ...

Analyst predicts $800 Tesla stock price target for 2026

Stocks

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has gained a lot of steam over the past month, and Wedbush’s Global Head of Technology Research, Dan Ives, argues the momentum is going to continue in 2026.

Namely, in a post published on X on Monday, December 15, the analyst predicted that Tesla’s market cap could double and climb to $3 trillion in 2026, which, in his words, is shaping up to be a ‘monster year’ for the automaker.

“Heading into 2026 this marks a monster year ahead for Tesla/Musk as the autonomous and robotics chapter begins. We believe Tesla hits a $2 trillion market cap in 2026 and in a bull case scenario $3 trillion by end of 2026…as the AI chapter takes hold at TSLA,” Ives wrote.

The growth, the reasoning went, will be the result of Elon Musk’s emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI), specifically autonomous driving and robotics technology. This new chapter in the CEO’s book, the expert noted in a subsequent post, might push Tesla stock price to $800 next year.

A new Street-high Tesla stock price target?
Based on the TSLA share price of just north of $465 at press time, the new figure implies an upside potential of more than 70% and sits miles above the current Street-high price target of $600, also given by Ives.

Ives has likely gone more bullish now that Tesla has begun testing fully autonomous vehicles on public roads in Austin, Texas, where multiple Tesla Model Y units operated without a safety driver this weekend.

While the company has not disclosed how many vehicles are involved, nor whether the tests rely on chase cars or remote supervision, Musk confirmed that “testing is underway with no occupants in the car.”

Wedbush has been bullish on Tesla’s robo-taxi service for a while now. In a September 26 investor note, Ives expressed the brokerage’s belief that the car maker is taking major steps forward in its AI revolution, justifying his then $600 price forecast.

That said, there are still some headwinds the company will face in the following months, as 2025 sales, for instance, have been dropping. In other words, the key question is how quickly Tesla can scale its robo-taxi business in order to meet the analyst’s expectations in 2026.

PriveX introduces Agents Arena to enable autonomous perps trading on COTI

Cryptocurrency

Decentralized perpetuals exchange PriveX has launched Agents Arena, a new marketplace for creating and deploying autonomous trading agents on the COTI Network, as per the reports shared with Finbold on Wednesday, December 10.

The platform introduces an AI-driven trading environment where agents can execute complex strategies with speed, accuracy, and round-the-clock reliability.

Operating on COTI’s encrypted compute layer, Agents Arena allows developers and traders to design intelligent agents that trade with real capital, react to live market data, and adapt to rapidly changing conditions.

The launch marks a milestone for automated decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure, giving professional and semi-professional traders access to a new layer of programmable trading intelligence.

Programmable autonomous agents for next-gen on-chain trading
PriveX agents can be programmed to analyze key variables such as volatility, sentiment, funding rates, and macro shifts, and to execute perpetual futures strategies accordingly.

Furthermore, creators can design agents focused on specific methodologies such as momentum trading, mean reversion, or multi-signal confirmation, and even deploy multiple agents that coordinate across different strategies.

The marketplace supports a range of specialized agent types, including a Quant Analyst scanning funding rate imbalances and volatility spreads for delta-neutral trades, a High-Frequency Scalper reacting to micro-structure inefficiencies, a Technical Specialist waiting for RSI and EMA alignment, a Swing Strategist targeting multi-hour trends with adaptive stops, and a Sentiment Interpreter using social and on-chain data to anticipate market rotations.

For a limited time, creating agents on PriveX is free, and those launched during the initial period will benefit from ultra-low trading fees of 0.001%, offering early participants a strong incentive to experiment and build.

Ripple prepares for its first XRP dump of 2026 Cryptocurrency ...

Ripple prepares for its first XRP dump of 2026

Cryptocurrency

Ripple is set to unlock up to 1 billion XRP from escrow on January 1, 2026, marking the company’s first scheduled token release of the new year.

With just over two weeks to go and markets already familiar with Ripple’s monthly escrow cycle, attention is shifting to how much of the unlocked supply could ultimately reach circulation and whether it may influence XRP price action in early January.

The upcoming unlock follows a long-standing mechanism introduced in 2017, under which Ripple locked tens of billions of XRP into time-based escrows to provide transparency and predictability around supply.

Under this system, 1 billion XRP is released at the start of each month, after which Ripple typically reallocates a portion for operational use while returning the remainder to new escrow contracts.

Historical patterns suggest the January 1 unlock is unlikely to result in the full 1 billion XRP entering the open market. In recent months, Ripple has consistently re-locked between 60% and 80% of unlocked tokens.

For example, the November and December 2025 release unlocked roughly 1 billion XRP. Still, most of it was returned to escrow, with only a small share retained for potential distribution, liquidity provision, or strategic purposes.

Impact of Ripple market dump

The term “dump” often resurfaces around unlocks due to their sheer notional size. In this case, a 1 billion XRP release would be worth billions of dollars at current prices, even if only a fraction becomes liquid.

As a result, traders closely monitor on-chain transfers, particularly movements to exchanges or unknown wallets, for signs of potential selling pressure.

December’s activity showed large XRP transfers from escrow to non-exchange wallets, reinforcing Ripple’s pattern of controlled distribution rather than immediate market sales, a strategy that has historically limited sharp price volatility around unlock events.

The January unlock also arrives at a time when XRP sentiment remains sensitive to broader cryptocurrency market conditions and regulatory developments.

While escrow releases are fully anticipated, traders often reassess short-term positioning at the turn of the month, especially at the start of a new year, when liquidity dynamics can shift.

Historically, past unlocks have had minimal impact on XRP’s price, which has continued to trade mainly in tandem with the broader cryptocurrency market.

XRP price analysis

By press time, the token was trading at $1.98, down nearly 2% over the past 24 hours. On a weekly basis, XRP is lower by about 6%.

With XRP having once again lost the $2 support level, the asset is in a more challenging position, as that zone has acted as a launchpad for gains in recent months.

Here are the most popular 2025 blockchains

Cryptocurrency

Following a monumental year for the cryptocurrency space, new data from CoinGecko highlights the significant diversity of the most active blockchains by mindshare in 2025.

The ranking reflects relative interest and engagement across networks rather than price performance, offering insight into which ecosystems are capturing the most traction this year.

Overall, the data illustrates a shifting landscape in 2025, where high-performance and application-focused blockchains are gaining a growing share of attention, even as established networks like Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC) continue to play foundational roles in the broader crypto ecosystem.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) tops the list with 26.79% of total mindshare, extending its lead over rival networks as activity across decentralized applications, memecoins, and high-throughput trading continues to attract users and developers. Notably, the Solana ecosystem ranked as the most popular blockchain for a second straight year, though its mindshare declined by 12 percentage points from last year’s 38.79%.

Its architecture is designed for fast transaction speeds and low fees, making it a hub for high-frequency decentralized finance and NFT activity, while large daily transaction volumes underscore sustained user engagement.

Base

Base ranks second with 13.94%, reflecting the growing prominence of Coinbase’s layer-2 network within the broader Ethereum ecosystem. Designed to offer low-cost, secure transactions using optimistic rollup technology, Base benefits from Ethereum’s underlying security while reducing latency and fees, driving strong developer interest and high levels of social and ecosystem engagement.

Ethereum (ETH)

In the third spot is Ethereum with 13.43%, indicating that while attention has diversified toward newer and faster chains, it remains a central pillar of blockchain development and usage. As the most established smart contract platform, Ethereum underpins the deepest decentralized finance markets and the largest pools of token liquidity. Recent infrastructure improvements and strategic investments have reinforced its role as a preferred environment for builders, enterprise use cases, and institutional adoption.

Sui (SUI)

Sui (SUI) ranks fourth at 11.77%, one of the strongest showings among newer layer-1 networks. Built on a novel transaction architecture that supports high parallel throughput and user-friendly features, Sui has experienced rapid growth in daily interactions, stablecoin liquidity, and gaming-focused applications. Its emphasis on scalability and predictability has made it an increasingly attractive option for developers and users seeking next-generation blockchain experiences.

BNB Chain
X
BNB Chain rounds out the top five with 9.05%, maintaining a solid presence driven by its broad suite of decentralized finance protocols, gaming platforms, and NFT marketplaces. In 2025, the network has shown signs of increased activity and capital inflows as it competes directly with other high-throughput chains, reinforcing its role as a versatile, widely used public blockchain.

Beyond the leading group, XRP Ledger holds 4.68% of mindshare, suggesting renewed attention around its payments-focused network. Sonic accounts for 2.29%, while Cardano (ADA) and Bittensor post similar levels of interest at 1.92% and 1.91% respectively. Hyperliquid registers 1.57%, highlighting niche but growing attention toward specialized trading and decentralized finance platforms.

Further down the rankings, TON captures 1.23%, narrowly ahead of Avalanche at 1.17% and Bitcoin at 1.08%. Bitcoin’s relatively modest share reflects its mature status, with innovation and experimentation increasingly concentrated on smart contract platforms rather than the original network.

The remaining ecosystems each command less than 1% of total mindshare, including Berachain, Hedera, Polygon, Abstract, Arbitrum, Kaspa, and Linea.

ChatGPT 5.2 predicts XRP price for the end of 2025

Cryptocurrency

Despite fresh institutional adoption, newly launched XRP exchange traded funds (ETFs), and growing cross chain experimentation, XRP has quietly lost momentum, sliding more than 17% over the past month and struggling to reclaim key technical levels.

With the token trading just above $2, investors are increasingly asking a difficult question. Is XRP setting up for a recovery by the end of 2025, or are recent catalysts already priced in?

To gauge XRP’s realistic price trajectory, Finbold prompted ChatGPT 5.2, OpenAI’s most advanced large language model, to assess where XRP could stand by December 31, 2025, factoring in current price action, ETF inflows, institutional adoption via Ripple Payments, and mounting technical headwinds such as declining volume and whale driven selling pressure.

XRP price reflects fading momentum despite positive headlines
At the time of analysis, XRP is trading at $2.04, up 1.8% over the past 24 hours but still down just over 1% on the week. On a broader timeframe, the token has underperformed sharply, falling more than 16% over the past month even as attention around XRP ETFs has intensified.

XRP’s market capitalization currently stands at approximately $123.3 billion, reflecting a modest daily increase of 1.75%. However, the more telling signal comes from trading activity. The token’s 24 hour volume has dropped to $2.82 billion, marking a decline of nearly 28% in a single day.

This contraction in volume suggests waning short term conviction, particularly notable given that the broader cryptocurrency market has gained roughly 2.21% over the same period.

XRP technical outlook shows resistance at key levels
From a technical standpoint, XRP remains under pressure. The token continues to trade below its 50 day exponential moving average, currently located near $2.16, a level that has repeatedly acted as resistance during recent attempts higher.

Price action remains confined within a descending channel, indicating that lower highs continue to define the prevailing trend. While brief rebounds have occurred, they have lacked follow through, largely due to weak volume and consistent selling into strength.

Unless XRP can reclaim and hold above the 50 day EMA with increasing participation, upside moves are likely to remain limited, reinforcing a cautious outlook into the end of the year.

Ripple Payments adoption supports long term utility narrative
On the fundamental side, XRP continues to benefit from incremental progress in institutional adoption.

On December 12, MINA Bank became the first European bank to adopt Ripple Payments, enabling faster cross border transactions for its clients. The development represents another step in Ripple’s broader effort to position its payment infrastructure within regulated financial institutions.

As a result, adoption continues to support XRP’s long term valuation case, but not at a pace that typically translates into rapid price appreciation.

Wrapped XRP launch highlights cross chain expansion
Beyond payments, XRP has also taken steps toward greater interoperability within decentralized finance.

Hex Trust recently launched wrapped XRP on both Solana and Ethereum, with the asset backed one to one by native XRP. More than $100 million in liquidity was preloaded at launch, positioning wXRP as a bridge asset across multiple blockchain ecosystems.

Despite the scale of the rollout, the immediate market response was subdued. XRP’s price showed little reaction, suggesting that investors currently view the wrapped token initiative as a structural enhancement rather than a near term catalyst.

XRP price prediction for December 31, 2025
Taking into account current market conditions, technical structure, adoption trends, and liquidity dynamics, ChatGPT 5.2 produced the following XRP price forecast for the end of 2025.

The base case places the cryptocurrency at $2.28 by December 31, 2025. The reasonable XRP forecast range spans from $1.90 on the downside to $2.65 on the upside, with $2.28 serving as the single point estimate.

This projection assumes continued gradual growth in RippleNet usage, steady but limited expansion of On Demand Liquidity, and no major deterioration in broader cryptocurrency market conditions. It also factors in the likelihood that selling pressure from large holders persists, preventing aggressive upside moves.

Under these assumptions, XRP appears more likely to grind modestly higher rather than stage a breakout to new all time highs within the current cycle.

Analysts set Campbell's stock price target

Stocks

Some two and a half weeks since the ‘3D printed meat’ controversy involving the former vice president, Campbell’s (NASDAQ: CPB) shares are sitting at their 16-year low.

Changing hands at $28.58 at the time of writing, December 12, the figure not seen since the 2009 financial crisis marked by collapsing consumer demand and market stress, Campbell’s stock is down nearly 7% since the news of the scandal first broke.

As such, the ongoing slump has erased all gains made over the past four years, as the stock is trading well below its 2022 and 2023 averages.

With the company facing severe pressure, analysts are accordingly revising their Campbell’s stock price targets, projecting a rather mixed outlook for the next year.

Wall Street mixed on Campbell’s stock price targets
Most recently, on December 11, DA Davidson reiterated its “Neutral” rating but lowered Campbell’s stock price target from $32 to $30 following the company’s first-quarter fiscal 2026 results.

The firm cited ongoing weakness in consumer spending across the food sector, warning that it could weigh on Campbell Soup’s as well. Likewise, the note pointed to intensifying competition in the soup and salty snacks division as key reasons for its cautious view.

Looking ahead, DA Davidson said that marketing and product activation in the following quarter will be crucial in determining whether Campbell can keep its fiscal 2026 outlook on track.

A day earlier, on December 10, Deutsche Bank adjusted its CPB price target to $31 from $33, maintaining a “Hold” rating, while RBC Capital cut its projected figure from $35 to $30, with a “Sector Perform” rating.

RBC argued that Campbell’s first-quarter fiscal results were “better than feared,” but still beyond what was expected based on overall business trends. Most noteworthy challenges cited were again the snacks segment, and the analysts argued that the management might have to cut prices to remain competitive.

Is the Campbell’s stock controversy a buying opportunity?
On December 10, Bernstein lowered Campbell’s share price target from $39 to $33, albeit with a “Buy” rating. Unlike RBC, Bernstein believes the company’s products generally align with current consumer trends, especially the meals and beverages division.

While the argument might appear to hint at the ongoing situation being a buying opportunity, other analysts are overwhelmingly of the opinion that the stock is a “Hold.” Stifel Nicolaus, for instance, lowered the CPB price outlook from $34 to $30 on the same day, while Wells Fargo trimmed it from $31 to $30, both opting for a “Hold” grade.

Indeed, Bernstein and Stephens (which lowered the price from $40 to $38 last Wednesday) are the only two investment firms with a “Buy” rating overall, judging by a total of 15 analyst positions aggregated on TipRanks, of which ten are “Hold” and three “Sell” ratings.

However, despite all the negative revisions, the average CPB stock price target for the next 12 months still has an upside potential of 8.47% from the current price, as per the same platform, sitting at $31.13.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF just formed its first death cross in history

Cryptocurrency

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has just printed its first ever death cross, marking a notable technical milestone for the world’s largest spot Bitcoin ETF.

According to data captured by Finbold on December 12, the ETF’s short term moving average has crossed below its long term trend line, a signal traditionally associated with weakening momentum and growing downside risk.

The move comes after IBIT failed to hold its summer highs, with price sliding toward the low $50 range after peaking above $70 earlier in the year. While the ETF remains firmly above its early 2024 launch levels, the crossover signals a clear shift in trend structure rather than a routine pullback.

BlackRock Bitcoin ETF technical analysis
From a technical perspective, the death cross reflects sustained selling pressure over recent weeks, rather than a single sharp drawdown. IBIT has been posting lower highs since October, and the loss of upward momentum is now visible across both moving averages and relative strength indicators.

The 14 day RSI has hovered in the low 40s, suggesting bearish momentum without reaching deeply oversold conditions. This positioning often aligns with grinding declines or extended consolidation rather than an immediate reversal.

Importantly, this is the first time such a signal has appeared since IBIT’s launch, giving it added symbolic weight. However, market participants remain divided on its practical significance. In traditional equity markets, death crosses are often lagging indicators that appear after much of the downside has already played out.

For Bitcoin linked products, the signal may reflect broader cooling across the crypto market following a strong first half of the year, rather than a definitive bearish regime shift.

While the death cross does not guarantee further losses, it reinforces the idea that upside momentum has stalled for now. For IBIT to negate the signal, price would need to stabilize and reclaim key moving averages with renewed volume, something that has yet to materialize.

As Bitcoin ETFs mature and attract longer term holders, technical signals like this may increasingly reflect sentiment shifts among institutional investors, rather than short term speculative flows alone.

Bitcoin funding rate crash 70% in a day; Here’s what it means

Cryptocurrency

The Bitcoin (BTC) derivatives market is witnessing a sharp reversal on Tuesday, December 9, with BTC funding rates dropping more than 71% in the last 24 hours, judging by CryptoQuant data on the same day. In other words, the number of leveraged long positions is going down as traders step back from excessive risk.

If the Bitcoin funding rate continues to slide, it could signal a deeper shift toward more bearish territory. Such conditions often culminate in volatility spikes as well, as even mild price pullbacks can trigger swift liquidation waves.

The BTC funding rate collapse also coincided with a modest 0.66% dip in Bitcoin’s open interest, suggesting that a small portion of leveraged long positions has already been flushed out.

Bitcoin funding rates drop ahead of key macro deadlines
The loss of optimism in Bitcoin follows the broader crypto market, which was nearly 2% in the red in the early hours due to fear regarding the Federal Reserve decision due tomorrow.

If the Fed adopts a more hawkish tone, a stronger dollar and tighter liquidity conditions could put more pressure on risk assets such as Bitcoin, prompting traders to unwind leveraged bets even further.

Considering Bitcoin’s technical picture was nothing to write home about either, the asset was shaky on all fronts, which further contributed to the fear.

Indeed, “digital gold” was trading at $90,410 at press time, down 1.28% on the day with a confirmed bear flag pattern threatening a correction toward the $70,000 area.

The ongoing Bitcoin funding rate slump thus reflects a combination of factors, the most notable being aggressive long unwinding and loss of speculative appetite ahead of key macro catalysts.

While certainly a bad omen at first glance, the setup still comes with a potential silver lining, as it could set the stage for a more stable market structure in the short term once the dust has settled. Similar scenarios have already played out in August and October this year.

Accordingly, traders will be monitoring whether the cooling leverage environment leads to consolidation or whether renewed volatility emerges as futures markets reset.

Wall Street giants update Bitcoin price target

Cryptocurrency

Wall Street’s most prominent cryptocurrency bulls are recalibrating their expectations for Bitcoin (BTC) as weakening institutional interest reshapes the market outlook.

In this case, Standard Chartered and Bernstein have trimmed their near-term projections while keeping a broadly optimistic long-term stance.

Standard Chartered, long known for its bullish outlook, has cut its forecasts amid a sharp decline in corporate treasury participation and slowing ETF inflows.

The banking giant now expects Bitcoin to reach $150,000 by the end of 2026, down from its earlier $300,000 estimate. Its long-range target of $500,000 has also been pushed back to 2030.

The bank noted that companies once viewed as major drivers of Bitcoin accumulation no longer have the valuations or incentives to continue adding the asset to their balance sheets, leaving ETFs as the primary source of institutional demand.

“We think that Bitcoin buying by DATs has run its course, while we expect ETF inflows to resume periodically. <…> We expect a consolidation rather than outright selling,” Geoffrey Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s global head of digital assets said.

On the other hand, Bernstein now expects Bitcoin to hit $150,000 by the end of 2026 and approach $200,000 by late 2027.

While recent price weakness prompted analysts to step back from an earlier call for a $200,000 peak this year, they argue that Bitcoin has matured beyond its traditional four-year boom-and-bust pattern, entering what they describe as a more sustained expansion phase.

Their longer-term outlook remains highly bullish, with projections that the token could climb toward $1 million by 2033.

Bitcoin price analysis

The shift comes amid heightened market pressure with Bitcoin down nearly 30% from its October peak above $126,000. At the moment BTC is struggling to hold onto the $90,000 support valued at $93,938 as of press time, up over 4% in the last 24 hours.

Indeed, the short term rally comes as spot Bitcoin ETFs saw about $60 million in outflows on Monday, while BlackRock’s IBIT recorded roughly $2.3 billion in withdrawals in November, its largest monthly redemption.

Though small relative to total assets, the pullback has raised concerns that some investors are stepping back from the long-term holding strategies that typically support strong rebounds after major sell-offs.

Why this Nvidia stock is nosediving today

Stocks

CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV), one of Nvidia’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) key cloud-computing partners, is under sharp pressure in pre-market trading on Monday.

Notably, the stock has fallen 4.11% to $84.67 from Friday’s close of $88.30. The shares have traded in a relatively narrow band throughout the previous session, hovering between the high-$85s and $88 before settling near the close.

Why CoreWeave stock is dropping
The downturn was triggered by CoreWeave’s announcement that it plans to raise $2 billion through a convertible senior notes offering.

The company will issue the notes through a private offering, with the option to expand the deal by an additional $300 million. The notes are expected to carry a conversion premium of 25% to 30%, according to people familiar with the matter.

Notably, the offering is scheduled to price after Monday’s market close.

While this type of financing can provide substantial capital for expanding data-center infrastructure, it also introduces the possibility of future equity dilution once the notes convert.

For a company already scaling at high speed, the move signaled increased leverage and financial risk, prompting a swift investor reaction.

It’s worth noting that CoreWeave’s reliance on massive clusters of Nvidia GPUs places it at the center of the AI-computing ecosystem, making its financial posture something of a proxy for expectations around Nvidia-linked infrastructure demand.

Therefore, any sign of strain at CoreWeave can ripple outward, raising questions about sustainability, capital needs, and long-term profitability across the AI-compute supply chain.

Overall, whether markets view this as a necessary step to support long-term expansion or as a warning about the company’s growth pace remains to be seen.

CoreWeave, which went public in March, has drawn investors eager to capitalize on surging AI spending. The company is a key Nvidia partner and serves major clients including OpenAI and Microsoft.

Why Carvana (CVNA) stock is rocketing

Stocks

Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) shares are soaring following a major catalyst that has thrust the online used-car retailer back into Wall Street’s spotlight.

At the close of the last trading session, CVNA stock was trading at $399, ending the day up 0.2%. However, in after-hours trading, Carvana shares surged nearly 10%. Year-to-date, the equity has jumped 100%.

The stock’s sharp move was driven primarily by its upcoming inclusion in the S&P 500 index, a milestone that immediately boosted investor demand and triggered a wave of momentum buying.

S&P Dow Jones Indices confirmed that Carvana will join the benchmark index ahead of the December 22 rebalancing. The announcement sparked a rapid spike in after-hours trading as index-tracking funds and ETFs prepared to accumulate shares, a dynamic that often leads to swift short-term price reactions.

The move caps a dramatic recovery for Carvana, which endured years of volatility before accelerating its turnaround in 2025.

Impact of S&P 500

Analysts note that S&P inclusion typically improves liquidity while bolstering long-term credibility. The addition comes on top of an already impressive 2025 rally, making Carvana one of the standout performers in its sector.

Strong business performance is also supporting the rally. In this line, Carvana posted robust third-quarter results, reporting revenue of about $5.65 billion alongside improved profitability , metrics that helped justify its inclusion in the S&P 500.

The company’s rebound in unit economics, operating efficiency, and retail demand has pushed it back to the forefront of digital auto retail.

However, some valuation models suggest the stock may be pricing in aggressive expectations, with analysts warning that its premium valuation leaves little room for disappointment.

Others emphasize that part of the spike is driven by index-related demand rather than purely fundamental

ChatGPT picks 2 cryptocurrencies to turn $10 into $100 in 2026

Cryptocurrency

Despite the current cryptocurrency market sentiment, the sector has generally been bullish in 2025. Moving into the new year, expectations are rising for further gains.

Therefore, it is important for investors to identify the ideal assets to buy in 2026. To this end, Finbold consulted ChatGPT to select two assets likely to turn a modest investment of $10 into $100 in 2026. Below are the assets selected by the AI model.

Avalanche (AVAX)

The first cryptocurrency, Avalanche (AVAX), is a Layer-1 blockchain platform known for its fast transaction finality and ability to run custom subnets, appealing to both developers and enterprises.

According to ChatGPT, under typical market conditions, AVAX could reach a price range of $30–$45 by the end of 2026, while more bullish scenarios see it potentially climbing to $70–$100 if adoption and network activity accelerate. Its combination of technical utility and room for price growth makes it a key pick for speculative investors.

By press time, AVAX was trading at $13, having plunged over 70% in the past year.

The AI model also selected Solana (SOL), which has a reputation for speed, scalability, and a growing ecosystem in decentralized finance, NFTs, and dApps. Forecasts suggest that SOL could experience substantial upside in 2025–2026, particularly if institutional interest and mainstream adoption continue to increase.

The model noted that SOL has a wide potential margin for growth, making it a strong candidate for mid-double-digit to triple-digit gains under favorable conditions. By press time, SOL was valued at $132, having fallen 44% in the past year.

In summary, ChatGPT highlighted that both AVAX and SOL have real utility, active communities, and strong developer support, making them plausible candidates to turn $10 into $100 in a supportive market.

However, investors should remain aware of risks, including regulatory changes, macroeconomic volatility, and competition from other blockchains, which could impact adoption and pricing.

Nvidia or AMD? We asked ChatGPT which is better AI stock for 2026

Stocks

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape technology markets, investors remain on the hunt for the best opportunities.

In this context, two sector giants, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD), are at the center of attention, both competing for dominance in the rapidly expanding AI hardware space.

With 2026 on the horizon, Finbold consulted OpenAI’s ChatGPT to determine which of these two semiconductor leaders is the better option to buy in the new year.

ChatGPT’s analysis highlighted several fundamental factors shaping the outlook for these companies.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA)

Nvidia trades at around $182, supported by robust earnings and strong AI-driven demand. Its recent strategic $2 billion investment in Synopsys to co-develop AI design software points to a broader push beyond hardware, reflecting the company’s ambition to build an integrated AI ecosystem.

ChatGPT noted that Nvidia could see roughly 70% earnings growth in 2026, reflecting its market leadership and enterprise adoption.

The model also pointed out that while these fundamentals suggest strong growth, the stock’s premium valuation leaves less room for short-term upside and exposes it to broader macroeconomic and competitive risks.

AMD (NASDAQ: AMD)

On the other hand, AMD currently trades near $218 and offers a lower-valuation alternative with a different risk-reward profile.

The company expects data-center revenue to grow about 60% over the next three to five years, supported by its cost-efficient AI GPU lineup and hybrid CPU-GPU solutions.

AMD’s diversified segments, including CPUs, GPUs, and servers, provide optionality, particularly if its upcoming product launches in AI GPUs and server platforms succeed.

However, ChatGPT warned that AMD faces execution risk, competitive pressure in the high-end AI GPU market, and recent softness in gaming and PC segments, which remain important revenue components.

The verdict

Weighing these fundamentals and market positions, ChatGPT concluded that for investors seeking growth, leadership, and relative safety in AI exposure, Nvidia emerges as the more compelling choice for 2026.

AMD may appeal to risk-tolerant investors seeking higher potential returns if execution goes smoothly, but Nvidia’s combination of strong earnings, AI market dominance, and ecosystem expansion makes it the primary candidate for those aiming to capture the AI boom with confidence.

Monster $5 billion Bitcoin short squeeze alert Cryptocurrency ...

Monster $5 billion Bitcoin short squeeze alert

Cryptocurrency

Bitcoin (BTC) is recovering after a somewhat disappointing start to the week as institutional inflows begin to accelerate once again, pushing “digital gold” back to $93,000 on Thursday, December 4.

Other bullish signals have also started to emerge, with long-term holders and whales moving BTC from exchanges to cold wallets and reducing selling pressure in the process.

As BTC continues its resurgence, roughly $5 billion in Bitcoin short positions are still sitting on the books and could be wiped out if the asset bounces back another 5% and makes a run back to $98,000, as per data reviewed by Finbold from CoinGlass on December 4.

Put simply, around $5 billion is currently positioned against the cryptocurrency, with higher liquidation concentrations stretching toward the $98,000 region.

This means that any sustained upward move could turn these positions into losses, potentially triggering automatic liquidations on exchanges, which would come in waves following price upswings.

These short liquidations can generate a lot of buying pressure by forcing traders to scramble and try to cover their positions, intensifying the rally further.

Bitcoin price action

As mentioned, with Bitcoin holding above $93,000 at the time of writing, mostly lifted by optimism that the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting will see another rate cut. In fact, traders now believe there is a 93% chance of it happening, according to crypto-based prediction platform Polymarket.

Institutional flows have also started to accelerate again. Indeed, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs now control 1.36 million BTC, roughly 7% of total supply. BlackRock, naturally, dominates, holding around 3.9% alone.

At the 2025 DealBook Summit, held on December 3 at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink described Bitcoin as an “asset of fear”, pointing to its role as a hedge:

Bitcoin is an asset of fear…. So you own Bitcoin because you’re frightened of your physical security. You own it because you’re frightened of your financial security. The long-term fundamental reason you own it is because of debasement of financial assets. Because of deficits,” Fink said.

Nonetheless, Fink noted investors continue to buy into the fund at $120,000, $100,000, and $80,000 levels, which, just like net values, suggests deeper institutional engagement. Accordingly, Bitcoin’s next major move this cycle is likely going to depend on institutional demand.

Analysts set Google (GOOGL) stock price target

Stocks

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) stock has been going through a rough patch this week, despite a number of positive GOOGL stock price forecasts coming from Wall Street.

The Google share price drop can be chalked up to worries that the company’s latest rally moved faster than the underlying fundamentals.

Google stock was trading at $316.74 at the time of writing, down nearly 2% on the five-day chart.

Analysts say Google still has some room to run
Still, a Wedbush report released on Tuesday, December 2, argued that the tech giant is still poised for further growth, as its Gemini large language model (LLM) is expected to serve as Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) exclusive artificial intelligence (AI) partner.

In addition to Wedbush, several other investment firms have given Google a thumbs-up over the past few days.

On December 2, RBC reiterated its “Buy” rating, leaving the target unchanged at $315. On the same day, Arete Research maintained its own “Buy” recommendation but raised the target price from $300 to $380, while HSBC adjusted the price from $335 to $370 and doubled down on the “Buy” rating too.

A day earlier, December 1, Guggenheim raised its own forecast from $330 to $375, reiterating a “Buy” rating amid growing conviction in the tech giant’s AI-driven growth trajectory.

The firm noted accelerating cloud backlog growth, YouTube’s dominance, and rising adoption of the Gemini platform as core drivers behind its upgraded outlook. Further, the analyst note argued, the market is still undervaluing Google Cloud’s revenue potential by as much as $40 billion.

Moreover, Bank of America (BofA) argued on December 1 that Google’s custom AI chips could greatly benefit its partner Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) as unit shipments and selling prices increase in 2026 and 2027.

Silver v Bitcoin- Here’s 2025’s clear winner Cryptocurrency ...

Silver v Bitcoin- Here’s 2025’s clear winner

Cryptocurrency

As 2025 winds down, the year has been eventful for both cryptocurrencies and precious metals, with both hitting new highs.

Amid this momentum, both Bitcoin (BTC) and silver have reached new peaks, jostling for the crown of the year.

Now, data indicates that silver has emerged as one of 2025’s standout performers, decisively outpacing Bitcoin as the year’s volatility reshapes the balance between traditional safe-haven assets and digital markets.

The shift is evident in the Bitcoin-to-silver ratio, which has collapsed to 1,458 ounces of silver per Bitcoin, its lowest level since October 2023. The decline marks a dramatic reversal from the start of the year, when a single Bitcoin could buy roughly 3,500 ounces, according to data shared by the finance commentary platform The Kobeissi Letter in an X post on December 3.

The deterioration in the ratio reflects a sharp divergence in performance, with Bitcoin falling 27% since August, extending a broader downturn that has unsettled the crypto market.

Silver, by contrast, has surged 53% over the same period, buoyed by renewed demand across investment channels and growing interest in precious metals amid rising economic uncertainty.

The platform noted that this downturn in the ratio is one of the steepest on record, plunging 58% year-to-date and more than halving since late summer.

While the current collapse echoes the 2022 bear-market slide, when the ratio fell 69% from 2,250 ounces per Bitcoin to around 700 ounces, the latest shift reflects a different market backdrop. This time, the move is driven not just by crypto weakness but by a broad rally in metals that has placed silver among the strongest commodities of the year.

Silver’s massive 2025 rally

Indeed, this comes as silver trades near fresh record highs around $58 per ounce, capping the metal’s strongest year since 1979.

This rally is no surprise, considering that silver is attracting a surge of investor demand, with physical silver-backed ETFs adding 15.7 million ounces in November and recording inflows in nine of the past 11 months.

The options market is showing similar enthusiasm, with silver skew jumping to its highest level since March 2022, making bullish bets increasingly costly.

Meanwhile, after reaching a record high above $126,000 in October, Bitcoin has suffered notable volatility, falling below the $100,000 support level and at one point dropping to $80,000.

Crypto market just added $200 billion

Cryptocurrency

The cryptocurrency market has staged a dramatic rebound over the past 24 hours, adding roughly $200 billion in value as Bitcoin (BTC) led a sweeping surge across major digital assets.

The rally has reversed the sharp downturn at the start of December, when global macro pressures and liquidations triggered a rapid market slide.

By press time, total crypto market capitalization had climbed to $3.08 trillion, up from $2.88 trillion just a day earlier.

Total crypto market cap

Bitcoin drove much of the momentum, adding about $120 billion over the period, with the asset’s market cap rising to $1.8 trillion. This marked Bitcoin’s strongest daily performance since May 2025, with the price approaching $91,000.

The spike was fueled in large part by a wave of liquidations. Within an hour, roughly $140 million in short positions were wiped out, compared with just $3 million in longs. The mechanically driven swing added more than $75 billion to Bitcoin’s market value in only 10 hours.

Ethereum (ETH) also advanced, trading near $2,996 as its market cap approached $361 billion. Ripple’s XRP hovered around $2.14. BNB gained as well, trading close to $870 and lifting its market value toward $119 billion.

Solana (SOL) saw one of the stronger moves, jumping to roughly $138 and regaining traction after the weekend crash.

Why crypto market is up

A major catalyst behind the sudden shift in sentiment came from traditional finance, where Vanguard, managing nearly $11 trillion in assets, lifted its longstanding prohibition on digital-asset products, allowing its clients to access crypto ETFs.

https://x.com/EricBalchunas/status/1995877852105904434?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1995877852105904434%7Ctwgr%5E61b21fa7ccc5bfc7e0968ee7c0aaeeac69397b05%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ffinbold.com%2Fcrypto-market-just-added-200-billion%2F

At the same time, Bank of America authorized its wealth managers to recommend a 1%–4% allocation to spot Bitcoin ETFs, signaling broader institutional acceptance.

The December 1 crash had been triggered by several catalysts, including turbulence in Japanese government bonds after 2-year yields broke above 1% for the first time since 2008, amplifying expectations of a Bank of Japan rate hike.

The move sparked global risk aversion, contributing to more than $573 million in crypto liquidations, mostly longs, during the initial plunge. A warning from China’s central bank about illegal digital-asset activity added further pressure, particularly on Hong Kong–listed crypto firms.

Despite the strong rebound, caution remains, with market skeptics arguing that Bitcoin’s rapid ascent reflects speculative excess rather than sustainable demand.

Why Strategy (MSTR) stock is crashing today Cryptocurrency ...

Why Strategy (MSTR) stock is crashing today

Cryptocurrency

Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) formerly MicroStrategy shares are under immense pressure as investors react to a combination of weakening fundamentals.

By press time, MSTR stock was trading at $157, down 11% for the day. Over the past month, the equity has suffered massive losses, plunging 40%.

Why MSTR stock is plunging

The steep decline followed remarks from CEO Phong Le, who acknowledged that the company could sell part of its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings if specific conditions are met. He outlined two triggers: a scenario where Strategy’s share price falls below its market-implied net asset value, and a situation in which the firm can no longer raise capital through its usual channels.

The possibility of a Bitcoin sale marks a significant departure from the company’s long-standing stance of holding its cryptocurrency reserves indefinitely, unsettling investors who viewed that commitment as central to its identity and valuation.

Investor concerns deepened further after the company established a $1.44 billion cash reserve, intended to secure dividend payments and meet future obligations. While presented as a proactive financial safeguard, the move was widely interpreted as a sign the company is preparing for a more challenging environment, especially as Bitcoin continues to struggle below the $90,000 mark.

The stock’s decline also mirrors ongoing weakness in the broader cryptocurrency market. Strategy’s valuation has become increasingly tied to Bitcoin’s performance, leaving its shares vulnerable when digital-asset prices fall. With Bitcoin under renewed pressure, the company’s leveraged exposure has exacerbated the sell-off.

Notably, the slump has dragged the company’s market capitalization down to roughly $45 billion, placing it below the value of its massive Bitcoin reserves.

Strategy’s Bitcoin holding
Strategy currently holds 650,000 Bitcoin, worth about $55 billion at current market prices. Despite a week without adding to its position, the company disclosed on Monday that it purchased an additional 130 Bitcoin for $11.7 million, funded through the issuance of common shares.

The numbers highlight an unusual disconnect where Strategy’s market cap is now about $10 billion below the value of its Bitcoin holdings. After accounting for $8.2 billion in debt, its net Bitcoin assets stand at $46.8 billion, still $1.8 billion above its current valuation, excluding cash.

This growing gap reflects investor concerns over Strategy’s leveraged Bitcoin strategy, crypto market volatility, and doubts about how long the company can continue expanding its Bitcoin position.

Big Short’ Michael Burry slams Tesla stock as ‘ridiculously overvalued’

Finance

Michael Burry, the hedge fund manager best known for predicting the 2008 housing market crash and inspiring the film ‘The Big Short, has issued another stock market warning, this time targeting Tesla’s (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock.

In a November 30 post on his Substack newsletter, Burry called the electric vehicle maker’s stock “ridiculously overvalued,” raising concerns about its current market valuation and the potential long-term effects of shareholder dilution.

Burry, who rose to fame for his successful bet against subprime mortgage-backed securities ahead of the financial crisis, expressed skepticism about Tesla’s financial fundamentals.

He pointed out that the company has been diluting shareholders by an estimated 3.6% annually, and highlighted that this dilution is happening without any stock buybacks to offset the impact. In Burry’s view, this trend serves as a warning sign for investors, especially given the lack of a clear strategy to reverse it.

Musk’s $1 trillion pay package

His concerns were further heightened by Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s ambitious $1 trillion stock compensation package. Burry warned that if Musk meets specific performance milestones tied to the deal, shareholder dilution could worsen significantly, adding more pressure on investors.

At the same time, Burry criticized how Tesla’s stock is priced, arguing that it depends on unrealistic assumptions of perpetual growth and minimal discounting, factors he considers unsustainable in the long term.

According to his analysis, Tesla’s market capitalization, which has surged in recent years, does not reflect the company’s fundamental financial health, and he believes this inflated valuation is driven more by fantasy than solid business metrics.

While Burry’s criticism of Tesla is the latest in a growing list of tech stocks he has questioned, including Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR), his stance on Tesla highlights broader concerns about sky-high valuations in the tech sector and potential bubbles.

He has also been vocal about the booming cloud infrastructure market, which he believes may be overhyped and vulnerable to a downturn.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy names the ‘last resort’ condition it will sell Bitcoin

Cryptocurrency

Michael Saylor’s Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) formerly MicroStrategy has outlined the conditions under which it would part with its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings, framing the move as an extreme response to market stress.

According to CEO Phong Le, the firm would consider selling Bitcoin only if its stock fell below its net asset value and it simultaneously lost access to new capital, he said in an interview with What Bitcoin Did published on November 28.

Under those conditions, the executive noted that selling a portion of its holdings would become a defensive step aimed at preserving what the company views as its core metric of Bitcoin yield per share.

The discussion around a potential sale comes as Strategy’s massive Bitcoin treasury continues to post gains. The company now holds 649,870 BTC valued at roughly $59.33 billion. Its average acquisition cost stands at $74,430 per coin, giving it a profit margin of about 22.66% based on current valuations.

Despite the appreciation, Strategy’s equity metrics show the stock still trades below the value of its underlying Bitcoin. The company’s basic market capitalization is listed at $51 billion, rising to $57 billion on a diluted basis, while enterprise value sits at $66 billion.

Strategy’s business model
Notably, the company’s model relies on keeping its stock trading at a premium to net asset value. When that premium exists, Strategy raises equity and converts the proceeds into more Bitcoin, steadily increasing BTC per share.

If the premium disappears and new equity becomes too dilutive, Le said selling Bitcoin to meet obligations becomes the logical fallback, even if it contradicts the firm’s long-standing accumulation strategy.

Notably, amid the recent Bitcoin price drop, the firm has come under pressure, with some on Wall Street warning that its strategy could falter and calling for it to offload part of its BTC holdings.

The pressure stems from rising fixed payouts tied to preferred shares issued in 2025, which carry escalating annual obligations of roughly $750 million to $800 million as different series mature.

To this end, the company aims to fund these commitments mainly through equity issuance while the stock trades at a premium, a cycle Strategy believes strengthens investor confidence.

Campbell’s soup to pay dividends in January 2026: Here’s how much 100 CPB shares will earn

Stocks

The Campbell’s Company (NASDAQ: CPB) will begin 2026 with a fresh dividend payout to shareholders, continuing its long-running policy of steady quarterly distributions.

According to the company’s latest declaration, investors of record on January 8, 2026, will receive a dividend of $0.39 per share, payable on February 2, 2026. For anyone holding 100 shares of CPB, the upcoming payment will amount to $39.

The new distribution maintains the dividend level the company has kept throughout 2025. Campbell’s paid the same amount on August 4, 2025, followed by another $0.39 payment on November 3, 2025.

With the February 2026 payout now scheduled, the company is on track to continue its consistent quarterly pattern at a time when investors are paying close attention to its financial stability.

CPB stock fundamentals

The steady dividend arrives during a turbulent period for the stock. As reported by Finbold, Campbell’s was thrust into controversy after an audio recording surfaced in which senior executive Martin Bally, a vice president in the IT division, made disparaging remarks about the company’s customers and products.

In the recording, he referred to Campbell’s foods as being “for poor people,” mocked consumers, and mentioned “3D-printed chicken” in a way that raised questions about product integrity.

The recording also captured offensive comments about Indian colleagues. Once the company verified the voice, Bally was placed on leave and ultimately terminated.

The episode drew legal scrutiny, triggered a lawsuit, and led to negative headlines that pressured the stock. Shares fell more than 3% during one trading session following the reports, adding instability to a stock already navigating a difficult operating environment. As of press time, CPB stock was trading at $30 having dropped over 2% in the past week.

The controversy comes on top of broader financial concerns. Campbell’s most recent fiscal results showed only slight revenue growth, and its outlook for fiscal 2026 included the possibility of lower adjusted earnings.

Management has expanded its cost-savings target to $375 million by 2028 in an effort to protect margins. Even so, the combination of weak organic sales trends and reputational issues has weighed on market confidence.

Trader suffers $2 million loss trading this hot crypto

Cryptocurrency

A crypto trader has recorded nearly $2 million in realized losses after placing a series of aggressive long positions on Monad’s newly launched MON token.

The losses, amounting to about $1.9 million, came within hours of trading as MON experienced violent price swings during its debut on secondary markets, according to the latest on-chain data retrieved by Finbold from Lookonchain on November 30.

Trade records show a chain of liquidations and forced exits, including a single liquidation that wiped out more than $963,000. Several others ranged from tens of thousands to well over $300,000.

The trader built long exposure near the $0.034 level, but a sharp intraday reversal sent MON tumbling from its peak, triggering a cascade of liquidations. Although MON gained nearly 99% at one point within the 24-hour window, the rapid downturn visible on the price chart erased the trader’s positions almost instantly.

The heavy loss unfolded during one of the most widely participated token sales held on Coinbase’s new launch platform. The week-long sale attracted nearly 86,000 buyers from more than 70 countries, accumulating $269 million in commitments and oversubscribing the $187.5 million allocation by 1.43×.

Most participants entered for long-term exposure, but early trading activity proved far more volatile than the sale itself.

Notably, MON launched with 10.8% of its 100 billion supply unlocked, split between the public sale at $0.025 and the airdrop, while the rest remains locked for years across team, investor, treasury, and ecosystem allocations. The team’s large share drew pushback from some community members who viewed the distribution as insider-heavy.

Why MON rallied

Monad’s mainnet went live with apps and developers active from day one, generating immediate on-chain activity. The combination of strong early demand and low circulating supply fueled MON’s sharp price surge and equally fast reversal.

However, not everyone in the industry shares the enthusiasm. In this case, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has reiterated his view that most new layer-1 blockchains will eventually fade, maintaining that only Ethereum and Solana have the institutional durability to endure.

He characterized Monad as a high-valuation, low-float token vulnerable to steep declines once the initial launch momentum wears off.

Its iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) recorded significant outflows in the week from November 21 to November 28, 2025, totaling $113.70 million.

On November 21, the ETF saw an outflow of $122 million, followed by another $149.1 million on November 22. The next two days brought some relief, with inflows of $83 million on November 23 and $61.5 million on November 24.

However, this brief recovery was overshadowed by a sharp outflow on November 25, pushing the total net outflow for the week to $113.7 million.

Despite the mix of inflows and outflows, the net negative movement remains a red flag. After outflows of $271.1 million in the first two days, the inflows that followed were not enough to offset the heavy losses.

Indeed, the outflows are likely to add more pressure to Bitcoin’s price, which is struggling to maintain the $90,000 support zone. Even so, on-chain data suggests the asset may see sustained gains in the coming days.

Bitcoin shows signs of market bottom

In this case, data shared by Ali Martinez in a November 29 X post shows Bitcoin nearing a key “low-risk” zone based on its Sharpe Ratio, a measure of risk-adjusted returns.

Historically, when this ratio dips into the green band, it has coincided with discounted prices and strong accumulation periods for long-term investors.

The latest data indicates a sharp drop in the Sharpe Ratio, mirroring past cycles that preceded major recoveries. Bitcoin’s price has also softened, pulling back from recent highs and approaching levels that typically attract dip buyers.

While the indicator doesn’t guarantee a market bottom, its move toward the low-risk zone has often signaled favorable long-term entry points as sentiment cools and risk metrics reset.

Bitcoin price analysis

By press time, Bitcoin was trading at $90,520, down about 0.5% in the past 24 hours, while gaining over 7% on the weekly timeframe.

As things stand, for sustained momentum, bulls need to defend the $90,000 support with eyes on a move toward $93,000.

Machine learning algorithm predicts XRP price for end of 2025

Cryptocurrency

XRP extended its weekly rally on Friday, November 28, climbing another 1.5% on the daily chart as a number of bullish developments renewed the momentum.

Notably, the token pushed above its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $2.18 and is now testing the 50-day EMA at $2.26, marking its strongest technical setup in weeks.

Moreover, Binance reserves now stand at 2.7 billion XRP, the lowest level since January 2025, which suggests rising long-term holder accumulation.

To put the optimistic narrative to the test, Finbold’s AI prediction agent analyzed the crypto’s technicals more deeply and leveraged three leading large language models (LLMs) to predict the XRP price target by December 31.

AI predicts XRP price for end of 2025
At first glance, the prediction agent’s forecast suggests the bullish atmosphere surrounding XRP appears justified. That is to say, the average XRP price target for the end of 2025, based on the joint efforts of ChatGPT, Claude Sonnet 4, and Gemini 2.5 Flash, sits at $2.43, which implies the token is up for a 9.61% rally over the next month compared to the current price of $2.22.

However, the situation is slightly more complicated upon closer inspection. Namely, the three LLMs used in the projection provided drastically different numbers.

Claude Sonnet 4, for instance, suggested that XRP could explode 28.38%, reaching a price of $2.85 by the end of the year. In comparison, ChatGPT suggested an upside of only 3.6% and a price target of $2.30. On the other hand, Gemini 2.5 was not bullish at all. Rather, Google’s AI assistant thinks that the cryptocurrency is more likely to see a momentum reversal and fall 3.15% to $2.15.

Accordingly, the average 9.61% uptick was largely boosted by Claude Sonnet 4’s exceptionally confident take and reveals just how divided AI-driven outlooks remain despite a broadly upbeat market structure.

In other words, while the blended forecast leans positive, the dispersion between the individual predictions points to some lingering uncertainty over whether XRP can sustain its recent breakout.

2 cryptocurrencies to reach $200 billion market cap in 2026

Cryptocurrency

The crypto market has started to recover after a weak couple of months, with some major tokens having the potential to reach $200 billion in market cap in 2026.

Based on their current market capitalization and trending developments, Finbold has singled out XRP and Binance Coin (BNB) as the candidates most likely to reach the milestone first.

XRP

The fourth-largest crypto asset by market capitalization, XRP, is currently valued at approximately $133.7 billion. In other words, it would need a roughly 49% boost to hit the $200-billion target next year.

While the figure might appear large at first glance, the crypto has a few aces up its sleeve that could potentially make the jump possible.

For one, its weekly rally is showing no sign of stopping as of the time of writing, November 28, fuelled by solid technicals and the shrinking reserves on cryptocurrency exchanges, which have reached their lowest levels since January 2025.

In addition to increased accumulation by long-term holders, XRP is also seeing fresh updates in terms of institutional use and adoption, with another exchange-traded fund (ETF) scheduled to launch before December 1.

Even more notably, analysts are now speculating that Ripple, the company most closely associated with XRP, is likely to obtain a full banking license in 2026. This could prove to be an important catalyst for the digital currency, legitimizing it even further and perhaps leading to a new all-time high.

At the time of writing, XRP was trading at $2.22, up nearly 15% on the weekly chart.

Binance Coin (BNB)

The fifth-largest cryptocurrency, Binance Coin, is worth more or less $123.6 billion. Accordingly, it would take a 61% rally over the next year to push it up to $200 billion. As with XRP, some signs suggest the momentum could continue.

Most noteworthy are the updates revealed during the Binance Blockchain Week event held on November 27 and November 28, which included ecosystem upgrades, new partnerships with traditional finance (TradFi) companies, such as Mastercard, and new efforts toward institutional adoption.

What’s more, the ongoing price uptick is largely coinciding with VanEck’s new filing for a BNB spot ETF, supported by figures such as the former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao. Naturally, traders are now hoping improved spot-based access will allow the price to climb back to $1,000, or perhaps bring it even closer to the record $1,370 recorded two months ago.

At press time, BNB was trading at $897.03, having gained about 9.3% over the previous week.

Ultimately, however, it must be mentioned that while both assets discussed above appear promising now, their success is still dependent on the cryptocurrency market’s overall momentum, which could always swing in either direction.

ChatGPT picks 2 companies to reach $3 trillion in 2026

Stocks

Bullish stock market predictions for next year are starting to ramp up as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape the economy.

Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan are among the most optimistic about the S&P 500, suggesting the benchmark index could surge toward 7,500 in 2026, or even 8,000 with additional Fed cuts.

Similarly, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo are forecasting a year-end 2026 finish at 7,800, the former referring to a “new bull market” supported by policy measures and strong earnings, and the latter expecting a stronger AI-driven surge later in the year.

With the majority of the analysts seemingly agreeing that the market has a lot of room to run, Finbold took to OpenAI’s flagship chatbot, ChatGPT-5, to zone in on 2 companies to reach $3 trillion in market cap in 2026.

Amazon (AMZN)

The AI chose Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) as the most likely candidate to reach $3 trillion in valuation next year. The retail leader is currently valued at $2.44 trillion, so a 22% rally will be necessary for it to hit that milestone.

Elaborating on its choice, ChatGPT naturally noted that Amazon remains a global powerhouse in e‑commerce and logistics, adding that its cloud computing efforts via Amazon Web Services (AWS) will further complement its growth, given that AI is all the rage nowadays.

Such a diversified business mix, the reasoning went, gives Jeff Bezos’s company all that it needs to grow: retail demand, cloud growth, and ad services. Accordingly, if AWS continues to expand and benefit from the sector’s overall bullish momentum, a push over $3 trillion seems within reach by 2026.

Meta (META)

The second pick, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), currently has a market capitalization of $1.59 trillion, meaning it needs to almost double in value to join the $3-trillion club.

Still, ChatGPT believes the parent of major social‑media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram is well-positioned to profit from the ongoing AI boom, given its increasing involvement with the technology.

Indeed, Meta has been exploring virtual reality and artificial intelligence for a while now, and its advertising business, propped by a vast social‑commerce platform, could benefit from it as well.

Nonetheless, the algorithm reminded that Meta will have to monetize emerging trends nearly perfectly if it is to hit the $3 trillion target, meaning that an 18-month timeframe would be more realistic.

Ultimately, hitting a $3 trillion market cap is no small feat for Amazon, Meta, or any other company. While two titans discussed above possess the scale, diversified business models, and sufficient exposure to the “current big thing” to make this target plausible, investors should note that the probability of them recording such valuations by the end of 2026 is going to depend on favorable market conditions and the successful monetization of emerging technologies.

Bitcoin soars after $100 billion inflow in a day Cryptocurrency ...

Bitcoin soars after $100 billion inflow in a day

Cryptocurrency

Bitcoin (BTC) price surged in the past 24 hours as roughly $100 billion poured into the market, pushing its total capitalization from $1.73 trillion to $1.83 trillion, according to data compiled by Finbold from CoinMarketCap.

At the time of writing, BTC is changing hands at $91,594, a sharp recovery from levels near $86,000 just a day earlier. Trading volumes also jumped by 21.71% to $72.9 billion, signalling renewed participation after weeks of corrective pressure.

Bitcoin price rebounds from 30-day low amid Fed policy optimism

The rebound comes as Bitcoin attempts to claw back losses from a 30-day drop of 19.78%, suggesting that recent price action was less a broad trend reversal and more a technical overshoot to the downside. A confluence of macro catalysts, on-chain accumulation, and momentum-driven trading is now shaping the move higher.

Investor optimism around an increasingly dovish stance from the Federal Reserve has provided a more constructive backdrop across broader risk assets. Markets are betting that December’s FOMC decision could hint at rate cut timelines, supporting liquidity-sensitive plays such as Bitcoin. This macro shift is particularly relevant given crypto’s heightened sensitivity to monetary policy as institutional positioning deepens.

Whale accumulation strengthens Bitcoin price recovery

On-chain data supports the notion that larger holders have used the recent pullback as a buying opportunity. Whales accumulated approximately 30,000 BTC (valued at around $2.7 billion) throughout the week, even as price momentum weakened. Historically, whale accumulation into weakness has been an early indicator of trend stabilization, and in some cases, reversal.

Technically, the rally appears to have stemmed from oversold conditions, prompting short-covering and algorithmic entry once BTC reclaimed key intraday levels. However, market structure remains fragile.

BTC technical outlook

Daily resistance is forming around the 30-day simple moving average near $98,852, a level that, if decisively broken, could activate momentum-driven inflows and challenge the psychological $100,000 threshold. Conversely, immediate support sits around $87,000, aligned with the 7-day SMA, where dip-buying first emerged.

The critical test now lies in BTC’s ability to consolidate above $91,000 into the New York Stock Exchange close. A sustained hold could attract additional inflows and reinforce the narrative of structural demand returning after capitulation. Failure to maintain these levels, particularly if paired with hawkish Fed commentary, risks reclassifying this move as a bear market rally rather than a broader trend reversal.

At this stage, Bitcoin’s trajectory is being shaped by a delicate balance: macro policy expectations, opportunistic whale behaviour and mechanical recovery dynamics. With sentiment improving but not yet robust, traders will be closely monitoring whether this rebound can carry through to a decisive breakout as the market enters a pivotal month for monetary policy.

DWF Labs launches $75 million DeFi fund to back next phase of growth

Cryptocurrency

DWF Labs has announced the launch of a new $75 million fund dedicated to decentralized finance (DeFi), focusing on projects building perpetual DEXs, decentralized money markets, and yield-bearing protocols.

The initiative targets teams developing on Ethereum (ETH), BNB Chain (BNB), Solana (SOL), and Base, which DWF Labs says are entering a new phase of growth as liquidity continues to shift on-chain.

Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner at DWF Labs, said the fund reflects a broader structural change in how capital and liquidity flow through the crypto economy.

Support founders and advance next wave of builders

The firm plans to prioritize teams with functional products, innovative value propositions, and clear pathways to scalability. Rather than incremental protocol variations, DWF Labs will focus on projects addressing core challenges in liquidity, settlement, credit, and on-chain risk management.

Grachev added that the current market conditions present an ideal opportunity to back high-conviction founders:

Beyond capital, DWF Labs will offer portfolio teams access to active liquidity provisioning, go-to-market support, and connections across its global network of exchanges, infrastructure providers, and institutional partners. The firm will also assist with communications and visibility, helping teams strengthen their market positioning and user acquisition.

According to DWF Labs, the next cycle of DeFi growth will be driven by real utility rather than speculation. As institutional liquidity moves on-chain and yield products evolve toward transparent, fixed-income-like models, the company sees opportunities for innovation in data-efficient dark pools, programmable credit systems, and sustainable yield infrastructure.

Founders interested in applying can submit their details through the DWF Labs website.

Analysts issue new Nvidia stock price target Stocks Despite fresh ...

Analysts issue new Nvidia stock price target

Stocks

Despite fresh regulatory concerns, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) jumped nearly 2% on Wednesday as analysts lifted their price targets, reinforcing bullish sentiment, with Wedbush reiterating their $230 price target.

On Tuesday, concerns were mounting for the AI chipamer following news that Meta (NASDAQ: META) was considering using Google’s Tensor Processing Units in 2027. Today, the pressure rose after Chinese regulators reportedly banned ByteDance, the company most known as the owner of TikTok, from using Nvidia’s chips in its data centers.

Nonetheless, the California-based tech leader’s stock is nearly 2% in the green at the time of writing, trading at $180.9, supported by analyst confidence that the company is still the undisputed leader in the sector.

Analysts raise Nvidia stock price target despite regulatory concerns
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives noted on Wednesday that Nvidia remains the foundation of the sector, arguing that CEO Jensen Huang is “the godfather of AI.”

Furthermore, the analyst noted that while Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) in-house hardware and partnerships with Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) are gaining meaningful traction, the firm stresses that the AI boom “starts and ends with Nvidia,” hinting at long-term optimism.

Wedbush’s current Nvidia stock price target is $230 for the next 12 months, backed by an “Outperform” rating. On Monday, November 24, Bernstein and Phillip Securities reiterated their “Buy” ratings as well, with the latter raising the price target from $185 to $200.

On Tuesday, November 25, Citi and Bank of America also doubled down on their “Buys” while maintaining price targets of $270 and $275, respectively.

Overall, the average Wall Street Nvidia price forecast 2026 is $257.26 as of the time of writing, implying a 43.25% upside from the current levels, as per TipRanks.

Also notable is that even the most bearish predictions, those that see the stock trading at $200 within the next year, also suggest an upside. Moreover, with 39 “Buys,” one “Hold,” and one “Sell,” analysts bullish on Nvidia have overwhelmingly dubbed the stock a “Strong Buy.”

Why Oracle stock is surging today

Stocks

After recent volatile sessions, Oracle’s (NYSE: ORCL) share price is surging as investors react to Wall Street’s bullish outlook on the company’s key partnership in artificial intelligence.

As of press time, ORCL stock was trading at $205, up over 4% for the day. Despite today’s gains, the stock remains down roughly 27% over the past month.

The current momentum follows analysts at Deutsche Bank and HSBC defending the stock amid concerns over AI spending and OpenAI commitments.

Deutsche Bank analyst Brad Zelnick noted that even with potential risks, the “bear case looks… bullish,” estimating only modest hits to long-term earnings and free cash flow if OpenAI revenue falls short.

The bank also said Oracle’s data center lease obligations offer flexibility and that the stock is undervalued relative to its AI business.

Deutsche Bank maintained a ‘Buy’ rating on Oracle with a $375 price target, highlighting that the market has yet to fully value the growth potential from this collaboration.

Revenue expansion potential

The firm emphasized that Oracle’s AI and cloud strategy could drive significant revenue expansion, particularly if the company capitalizes on its technological and infrastructure investments faster than competitors.

HSBC also maintained a ‘Buy’ rating with a $382 target, noting that the company is effectively managing AI infrastructure margins and planning to meet its commitments.

Both analysts suggest that market fears may be overstated, with significant upside potential for the stock.

Meanwhile, investment strategist Shay Boloor, in an X post on November 26, explained why the stock has faced recent pressure. He noted that Oracle is undertaking “the most aggressive capex plan in the industry,” funding a data center buildout that is outsized relative to its revenue base.

Additionally, tying roughly $500 billion of future obligations to a single counterparty, OpenAI, introduced a “Sam Altman risk premium” into the market.

Boloor emphasized that while the upside could be enormous if demand holds and Oracle deploys capacity efficiently, balance-sheet and concentration risks are equally significant.

Nvidia responds after Meta opts for Google chips; What's next for NVDA stock?

Stocks

American technology giant Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has addressed market concerns following reports that Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) is exploring the use of Google’s tensor-processing units for its AI workloads.

The company emphasized its industry leadership, asserting that its platform is a generation ahead and uniquely capable of running every AI model across all computing environments, Nvidia said in an X statement on November 25.

Nvidia highlighted the superior performance, versatility, and fungibility of its GPUs compared with specialized ASICs, positioning itself as the essential platform for AI innovation.

The response highlights confidence in Nvidia’s long-term competitive advantage, even as competitors like Google advance their own AI hardware offerings.

Nvidia stock shows weakness
Despite the reassurance, Nvidia shares experienced a notable drop, reflecting investor caution. By press time, NVDA shares were valued at $176.68, down 3.2% for the day.

Reports that Meta, a major GPU customer, could diversify some workloads to Google TPUs triggered fears of revenue risk and intensified scrutiny of the company’s dominance in AI compute.

The stock’s decline coincided with broader pressure on tech indices, while Alphabet saw gains as investors reacted positively to the prospect of increased demand for its chips.

Analysts note that while the Meta-Google development represents a potential threat, Nvidia’s broad ecosystem, extensive software support, and unmatched versatility help mitigate immediate risks.

How the stock reacts in the coming days will depend on both investor confidence in Nvidia’s technological moat and further developments in AI chip competition.

AI predicts Bitcoin price for December 1, 2025

Cryptocurrency

As Bitcoin (BTC) makes a minor short-term recovery, insights from an artificial intelligence (AI) platform suggest that the asset is likely to find support at $90,000 on December 1.

After dropping to around $80,000, Bitcoin is now seeking to reclaim the $90,000 level in search of a push beyond $100,000. By press time, Bitcoin was trading at $87,690, having fallen about 5.6% over the past week.

Bitcoin price prediction

For the outlook, Finbold consulted OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which projected that the cryptocurrency could trade around $90,000 by December 1, 2025.

According to the AI forecast, potential drivers for gains include renewed ETF inflows, favorable regulatory updates, and a broader rebound in risk-on sentiment across global equities.

At the same time, ChatGPT highlighted risks that could weigh on the market, such as sudden macroeconomic shocks, unexpected regulatory hurdles, and leveraged liquidations, all of which could limit upward momentum.

In assessing the outlook, the model noted that Bitcoin has recovered from a recent dip to roughly $80,500, with support levels around $80,000 holding, while resistance is seen between $90,000 and $100,000.

For factors likely to influence the price, the AI model considered broader macro trends. ChatGPT noted that markets are slightly risk-off, but expectations that the Federal Reserve may soften rate guidance in December could provide support for risk assets, including Bitcoin.

Technical indicators reviewed by ChatGPT, including momentum oscillators, suggest that Bitcoin is recovering from oversold conditions, reinforcing the potential for a short-term rebound.

Key Bitcoin price levels for December 1
Fibonacci retracement levels from the all-time high of $126,000 to the recent low near $80,000 indicate possible near-term targets between $90,000 and $100,000, providing further context for the short-term outlook.

Taking these dynamics into account, ChatGPT predicted that Bitcoin is most likely to trade around $90,000 on December 1, 2025, with a probable range between $87,500 and $93,000.

While positive developments could push the cryptocurrency toward the upper end of this range, liquidity constraints and cautious institutional activity make a sharp rally above $100,000 within the coming week unlikely.
