British Pound: Energy-driven inflation risks support GBP against US Dollar – MUFG

MUFG highlights that rising European natural gas prices are reviving inflation risks, which could push the Bank of England toward another rate hike and underpin the Pound. While crude Oil remains contained, UK natural gas futures have surged, and the bank notes that this divergence in energy dynamics may support both the Euro and Pound against peers.　　Natural gas surge underpins BoE hike risk　　“As we have highlighted this week, the natural gas backdrop in Europe is certainly pointing to upside inflation risks. Crude oil prices have been more contained but the UK natural gas front future price has gained 62.5% since the start of July and the close yesterday was the highest since January 2023 following the surge in price after the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.”　　Discover more　　Selecting Payment Gateways　　Subscribing To News　　FINANCE　　“In the July Monetary Policy Report the BoE as always used the futures curve in a 15-day period to a certain date prior to the release (in Julys report it was 20th July) which basically had the natural gas futures prices peaking at a little over 123p in Q4 before declining to under 60p at the end of the forecast period.”　　“Still, the hawks on the MPC, like Catherine Mann, will

UNI Price Prediction: The 5.7% Pump Has a Shelf Life — $4.38 Is the Line in the Sand

Alvin Lang　　Aug 28, 2026 07:46　　UNI just printed a 5.7% intraday surge to $4.62, but momentum is already flatlined while the price hugs the upper Bollinger Band; bulls who hold $4.38 on the coming shakeout have a clear path to $5…　　The Immediate Setup　　Five-point-seven percent in a day sounds impressive. On UNI, right now, it‘s a yellow flag dressed in green. Price tagged $4.84 intraday before settling back to $4.62 — barely a cent shy of the immediate resistance wall at $4.85 — and the entire move happened with the MACD histogram printing a dead-flat zero. That’s the tell. When price explodes and momentum simultaneously signals exhaustion, you‘re not looking at a breakout; you’re looking at a blow-off candle that ran out of fuel exactly where it was supposed to. The Stochastic sitting at 86.44 confirms it: the short-term cycle is stretched, not extending.　　What makes the setup interesting is the broader structure. UNI is currently trading above every major moving average — the 7-day, 20-day, 50-day, and even the 200-day SMA at $3.46. That‘s a clean, stacked bull setup on the daily timeframe. The EMA 12 has crossed and maintained above EMA 26. If you zoom out, the trend is genuinely healthy.

Crypto has reached Mays max, aiming higher

Market overview　　The cryptocurrency market has risen by 0.75% over the past 24 hours to $2.68T, trading close to this weeks highs. Judging by intraday movements, the market is poised for further growth, as investors actively buy up local price dips. While the major cryptocurrencies have stabilised near their highs of recent months, buyer interest has shifted towards altcoins. Over the past day, the top gainers were Official Trump (+27%), Uniswap (+6.7%) and Solana (+6.3%). The biggest fallers were SushiSwap and IOTA (both down 2.3%) and Immutable (down 1.8%).　　The sentiment index continues to hover just below the extreme-greed threshold, a level we last saw consistently from May to August last year. Spikes in the indicator in January and May were short-lived or failed to sustain levels above the 50-mark. We are therefore observing an important confirmatory signal of a shift in sentiment from bearish to bullish.　　Discover more　　Tracking Market News　　Selecting Stock Brokerages　　Subscribing To News　　At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading just below $80K, but during a period of reduced liquidity ahead of the start of the Asian session, the price spiked to near $81.5K, setting a new high over the past three and a half months.

Evernorths XRP Nasdaq Debut Moves Closer After SEC Hurdle

Evernorth Takes Major Step Toward Making XRP a Public-Market Powerhouse　　Evernorth has cleared a major regulatory hurdle that brings its planned Nasdaq debut and XRP-focused treasury strategy closer to reality.　　The SEC has declared Evernorths Form S-4 registration statement effective, paving the way for the next key milestone: a September 30, 2026 shareholder vote.　　Armada Acquisition Corp. II shareholders will decide whether to approve the proposed business combination. If approved and all closing conditions are met, the combined company is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN.　　Nevertheless, the real story goes far beyond simply putting XRP on a corporate balance sheet.　　More Than an XRP Treasury　　Evernorths strategy is designed to actively deploy capital across the XRP ecosystem rather than simply buy XRP and hold it.　　Its stated objective is to increase XRP per share over time, while investing in infrastructure and opportunities tied to tokenization, on-chain credit and blockchain-based financial services.　　Well, this model could create a new bridge between traditional capital markets and on-chain finance.　　A Nasdaq listing would give public-market investors another avenue for XRP exposure without requiring them to directly hold the asset. Furthermore, Evernorth aims to put institutional capital to work across the infrastructure supporting the broader XRP economy.　　Why This Could

Crypto Price Analysis August-28: ETH, XRP, ADA, BNB, and HYPE

This Friday, we examine Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Binance Coin, and Hyperliquid in greater detail.　　Ethereum (ETH)　　Ethereum closed another week in the green after pushing above $2,400, ending 6% higher. If buyers manage to hold this key support level, higher highs may continue.　　Bulls should do their best to consolidate their recent gains after the massive rally from the $1,500 level. To achieve this, defending $2,400 as support is key. The current resistance is at $2,800.　　Looking ahead, this is the first time since 2025 that ETH has made a higher high. This halts the downtrend and positions this cryptocurrency for a sustained rally. The question is how far bulls can take it before they show signs of weakness.　　Source: TradingViewRipple (XRP)　　After XRP pumped to $1.6, the price entered a pullback, which is still ongoing at the time of this post. Nevertheless, this cryptocurrency closed the week 9% higher. This recent performance is impressive and a significant change in the market structure.　　With a higher high secured, XRP could be consolidating between the key support at $1.3 and the resistance at $1.6. Once the price settles, a renewed push higher could follow, sending XRP back into a rally.　　Looking ahead, the most significant target, at this time,
