GBP/USD steady ahead of double-header Fed-BoE decision

In the fifteen-minute chart, GBP/USD trades at 1.3519, retaining a mildly bearish intraday tone as it holds below the days open at 1.3538, which now acts as immediate resistance. The latest Stochastic RSI reading has eased back toward the lower half of its range, hinting that earlier overbought conditions have faded and that upside momentum has cooled while price remains capped beneath the opening level.　　On the topside, a recovery above the day open at 1.3538 would be needed to alleviate the current pressure and open the way for a more sustained rebound. On the downside, the absence of nearby measured supports on this timeframe suggests that any renewed selling could see the pair slide toward uncharted intraday levels, with momentum gauges like the Stochastic RSI helping to track whether bearish pressure is intensifying or stabilizing.　　In the daily chart, GBP/USD trades at 1.3518, holding a constructive bullish bias as it remains above both the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.3440 and the 200-day EMA at 1.3387. The short-term EMA stays above the longer-term gauge, suggesting an underlying upward structure, while the Stochastic RSI hovering around 65 hints that bullish momentum is still present but no longer in extreme overbought territory.　　On

DOJ Intervened in xAI Colorado AI Law Case

Tech　　DOJ Intervened in xAI Colorado AI Law Case　　The U.S. Department of Justice escalated the legal dispute by intervening on Friday in xAI‘s lawsuit targeting Colorado’s artificial intelligence discrimination law. Elon Musk‘s xAI company argues that the algorithmic discrimination obligations of SB24-205 violate the Constitution, while the department claims it violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The law’s requirement for companies to prevent unintended disparate impacts based on protected characteristics like race and gender has drawn DOJ‘s reaction. This move clarifies the Trump administration’s stance on restricting state AI rules.　　xAI‘s Legal Battle Against Colorado’s SB24-205 Law　　Colorado, with SB24-205 adopted in 2024, targeted companies using high-risk AI in hiring, student admissions, and mortgage decisions. Companies will have to assess discrimination risks, explain systems, and notify consumers about AI use; the law takes effect on June 30. xAI claimed in its lawsuit that the regulation would drag AIs into ideological biases. Deputy Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon emphasized that involving companies in radical left ideology is illegal. Cody Barela, partner at Colorado-based Armstrong Teasdale, thinks the departments argument about burdensome regulations slowing the AI race might be more effective in court than a constitutional defense. Barela added that harming U.S.

Lightspark CEO Launches Grid Global Accounts at Bitcoin 2026 Las Vegas

Marcus demonstrated the account through a character named Barbara, a creator in Mexico receiving a $5,000 payment from a U.S. platform. In the demonstration, she spent at Visa merchants globally, converted funds to Mexican pesos in real time, and sent money to a friends Brazilian Pix account in seconds. The same account also held natively alongside dollars and , all under a single wallet address.　　The interoperability extends across networks. “A dollar in a Grid Global Account is a dollar on any network,” Marcus said. It can move to USDC on or to on Optimism, and because Grid runs on Spark, Bitcoin support is built in from the start.　　For platforms, Marcus framed every payment feature as a revenue source. Stablecoin yield, foreign exchange on-ramps and off-ramps, Visa card interchange, and Bitcoin buy-and-sell functions each represent income that platforms currently hand off to correspondent banks and payment intermediaries.　　Marcus also introduced agent delegation, a feature that lets AI agents execute financial tasks inside a users wallet with defined permissions. He demonstrated an integration with Bread, a bitcoin wallet launching in the Apple App Store. Through a Whatsapp-based agent, he showed the system generating a scoped card to buy coffee and sending $500 to

Rubio warns against Iran control of waterways, doubts US agreement by April 30

Tech　　Rubio warns against Iran control of waterways, doubts US agreement by April 30　　Marco Rubio‘s warning against Iran’s control over international waterways casts doubt on a US agreement to Iranian demands by April 30. The odds of Trump agreeing to Iranian oil sanction relief now sit at 0.8% YES.　　Rubio‘s stance signals a hardline US approach, making an agreement on Iranian demands less likely. The Trump Iran Demands market holds at 0.8%, consistent with Rubio’s rhetoric that the Strait of Hormuz will remain an international commons. The US-Iran nuclear deal by April 30 market dropped from 2% to 0.8% in just 24 hours.　　Both markets are showing thin trading volumes, $950 in actual USDC, indicating traders are skeptical of any rapid resolution. The largest move in the nuclear deal market was a 49-point spike, which reflects volatility but not lasting conviction. The cost to move these odds 5 points is just over $1,200, so any single large order could shift prices quickly.　　Rubio‘s comments reflect a consistent US policy of rejecting Iranian control over strategic waterways, a stance consistent with previous US actions, including the naval blockade. For traders, betting on a YES outcome costs 0.8¢ for a 125x return, but only if you

NYT Pips Today: Hints, Answers And Walkthrough For Wednesday, April 29

Another day, another trio of Pips puzzles to solve. If you‘re looking for a little help with today’s rather tricky Medium or Hard Pips, the answers are below as well as a walkthrough for the most challenging of the bunch. Lets solve these Pips!　　How To Play Pips　　In Pips, you have a grid of multicolored boxes. Each colored area represents a different “condition” that you have to achieve. You have a select number of dominoes that you have to spend filling in the grid. You must use every domino and achieve every condition properly to win. There are Easy, Medium and Difficult tiers.　　Heres an example of a difficult tier Pips:　　Screenshot: Erik Kain　　As you can see, the grid has a bunch of symbols and numbers with each color. On the far left, the three purple squares must not equal one another (hence the equal sign crossed out). The two pink squares next to that must equal a total of 0. The zig-zagging blue squares all must equal one another. You click on dominoes to rotate them, and will need to since they have to be rotated to fit where they belong.　　Not shown on this grid are other conditions, such as “less than”

PIPPIN retests KEY level after 10% price drop - Will bulls step in?

Pippin [PIPPIN] has cooled off after three straight days of gains as the token slipped 10% over the past 24 hours, at press time. The pullback followed a strong rebound from the last demand zone, where buyers stepped in and pushed prices higher. That recovery has now paused, but the broader setup has not fully broken down.　　What matters most here is that the token has returned to the same demand zone, and, so far, it is still holding. Price is correcting, but it has not lost the level that supported the earlier bounce. That makes the short-term structure fragile but still intact.　　Liquidations have reset part of the move　　The latest pullback has already cleared a portion of overheated positioning. Long liquidations have reached roughly 270K during the correction, which suggests some weaker bullish exposure has already been flushed out.　　That kind of reset often matters more than the drop itself. When long positions get cleared while the price remains above support, the market can become less crowded and more stable. In simple terms, the correction removes excess leverage without fully damaging the structure.　　This is typically where reversals begin, only if buyers are still present.　　Source: CoinalyzeBuyer dominance remains, but pressure is building　　Even after

SEC Reviews NYSE Arca Rule Shift Opening Door for XRP ETF

Tech　　SEC Reviews NYSE Arca Rule Shift Opening Door for XRP ETFSEC reviews NYSE Arca rule change easing crypto ETF listings with stricter asset standards.XRP appears alongside BTC, ETH, and SOL in ETF models under the proposed regulated framework rules.New ETF proposal requires 85% regulated assets while allowing limited exposure to other tokens.　　U.S. regulators are reviewing a proposed rule change that could reshape how crypto exchange-traded funds are listed and who can access them through traditional markets, including exposure linked to XRP.　　The Securities and Exchange Commission published the notice on April 27, 2026, after NYSE Arca filed changes to its commodity-based trust share framework in New York. The proposal seeks to make ETF listings easier while tightening the quality rules for the assets inside those funds.　　The filing says ETF issuers could get approval more quickly if most of the assets they hold already meet regulatory standards. It uses example portfolios that include XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and gold to show how the new rules would work in practice. As a result, XRP now sits in the same comparison group as major crypto assets that already trade under regulated futures and surveillance frameworks.　　ETF Structure Rules Tighten Asset Composition　　NYSE Arca says at
