Ethereum　　Ethereum TD Sequential Flashes Sell Signal – Is A New 50% Corrective Phase Starting？　　As the market reacts to the latest crypto legislation, Ethereum (ETH) is flashing warning signs after a fresh technical sell signal emerged for the first time in months and a spike in on‑chain realized profits.　　Ethereum Risks New Leg Down After Key Sell Signal　　On Thursday, Ethereum jumped 3.5 % intraday before hitting its three-day $2,320 resistance area. The move follows the advancement of the crypto market structure bill, known as the CLARITY Act, to a full Senate vote after a 15-9 bipartisan vote during the Senate Banking Committees long-awaited markup session.　　The King of altcoins has been moving sideways between $2,200 and $2,400 over the past month, which some have called a “no-trade zone.” While many analysts suggest that a breakout above the upper boundary is coming, analyst Ali Martinez has warned that Ethereum may be close to a major correction.　　In an X post, the market observer highlighted that a new sell signal has emerged on ETH‘s weekly chart for the first time in nine months. He explained that the TD Sequential indicator has been highly precise in anticipating the altcoin’s trends since April 2025, with every signal on

Anthropic and Gates Foundation commit $200 million to AI tools for health, education, and agriculture

According to Anthropics blog, the company and the Gates Foundation have announced a partnership worth $200 million to develop AI technologies for health care, education, and farming in countries that rarely see investments in commercial AI technologies.　　The funding will include grant money, Claude API credits, and technical assistance for four years. Elizabeth Kelly, who heads the Beneficial Deployments team at Anthropic, described it as “really core to who we are as a company.”　　The deal is four times larger than the $50 million partnership the Gates Foundation struck with OpenAI in January. That one targets 1,000 African clinics by 2028.　　Claude to support vaccine screening and disease forecasting　　Around 4.6 billion people worldwide lack access to essential health services, per the WHO. Anthropic and the Gates Foundation will equip research centers to use Claude for computational screening of vaccine candidates before moving into pre-clinical work.　　First targets: polio, HPV, and preeclampsia. These are conditions pharmaceutical companies have historically found less commercially attractive to research.　　Separately, Anthropic will work with the Institute for Disease Modeling, a Gates Foundation research group, on malaria and tuberculosis forecasting. The goal is giving non-specialists tools for public health planning that currently require deep technical expertise.　　Director at Gates Foundation, Janet Zhou,

British Pound: Political strain weighs on Sterling – Commerzbank

Finance　　British Pound: Political strain weighs on Sterling – Commerzbank　　Commerzbanks Michael Pfister highlights mounting political turmoil in the United Kingdom (UK), with resignations and leadership speculation tightening pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer. He sees rising uncertainty over future fiscal policy as negative for the Pound (GBP). Despite recent Pound weakness, Commerzbank believes markets have not fully priced the risks and continues to expect higher EUR/GBP in the coming weeks.　　UK political risks seen hurting Pound　　“Nevertheless, the noose around Starmers neck seems to be slowly tightening.”　　“The Prime Minister appears severely weakened, and it is questionable whether he can remain in office for much longer.”　　“The situation is bad for the pound for two reasons.”　　“Firstly, political uncertainty rarely benefits a currency, and secondly, it is currently unclear what policies the potential successors intend to implement.”　　“Despite the recent weakness of the pound, we believe that this has not yet been fully reflected in market prices.”　　“We therefore continue to expect higher EUR/GBP levels in the coming weeks.”

The $100 roadblock - Why Solana’s ETF inflows couldnt shatter the range highs

Tech　　The $100 roadblock – Why Solana‘s ETF inflows couldn’t shatter the range highs　　A recent AMBCrypto report found that Solana [SOL] had rallied 10x what Bitcoin [BTC] had rallied at one point in May. The reason behind this outperformance was a combination of growing institutional support for SOL and strong spot ETF inflows.　　As a result, the SOL/BTC hike measured 9%, indicating a greater risk appetite among Solana buyers.　　And yet, despite the good performance, the altcoin has faced losses over the past three days. Tokenized stock activity and ETF inflows were not enough to drive the prices higher.　　SOL faced rejection from just below the psychological $100-resistance on Monday, 11 May. Hence, the question – Is this a temporary roadblock, or have the bulls pushed SOL as far as it would go？　　The range formation and cautious Solana outlookSource: SOL/USDT on TradingView　　In March, Solana broke the $94 local high but stopped short of the $100-mark, falling all the way to the range lows once more. The revised range high at $97.68 was tested once again, but a bearish outcome came in recent days.　　During this range formation, the OBV on the 1-day chart trended higher. This indicated accumulation within the range, making a bearish breakdown

US Senate’s digital asset market rules nearing the finish line

Tech　　US Senates digital asset market rules nearing the finish line　　The U.S. took a big step closer to a regulated digital asset market following a Senate committee vote, but President Trumps crypto profiteering could yet derail this train.　　On Thursday, the Senate Banking Committee voted to advance its Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY) following two-plus hours of often heated debate over dozens of proposed amendments filed earlier this week. Crucially, the vote was 15-9 in favor, with two Democrats—Michelle Alsobrooks (D-MD) and Ruben Gallego (D-AZ)—breaking ranks to vote ‘aye’ alongside all 13 Republican committee members.　　However, both Alsobrooks and Gallego stated for the record that their committee votes were no guarantee of similar approval when CLARITY reaches the floor for a vote by the full Senate. There, it will require 60 votes to pass, meaning at least seven Dems would have to vote in favor, assuming all 53 GOP senators vote in lockstep.　　Following the vote, Alsobrooks acknowledged that “the digital revolution is upon us … and the truth is this digital revolution is happening with us or without us.” But “my vote today is a vote to keep working in good faith. It does not mean that Ill be voting for the

LDO Price Prediction: $0.42 Retest Before $0.35 Correction Within 30 Days

Technical Setup Points to Oversold Bounce　　LDOs current price action reflects classic consolidation characteristics with RSI at 49.31 showing neither overbought nor oversold conditions. The MACD histogram sits at zero, indicating momentum equilibrium, while price remains compressed within the middle Bollinger Band territory around $0.38.　　This technical sandwich between the 7-day SMA at $0.40 above and 50-day SMA at $0.36 below typically resolves with increased volatility. The 200-day SMA at $0.49 represents significant overhead resistance that will likely cap any meaningful recovery attempts. Current positioning suggests a coiled spring setup awaiting directional catalysts.　　Derivatives Market Signals Shift　　The funding rate structure reveals important positioning dynamics. Negative funding at -0.0175% means short sellers are paying long holders every eight hours, indicating overcrowded bearish sentiment that often precedes technical bounces. Open interest has increased 4.48% to $14.7 million, showing fresh participation as Blockchain.news tracking indicates new positions being established.　　This funding dynamic combined with compressed volatility creates conditions favorable for short-covering rallies, particularly if LDO can reclaim the $0.40 level where recent resistance has formed.　　Resistance Levels Define Rally Potential　　The most probable near-term path involves LDO testing resistance around $0.42, where both the upper Bollinger Band and recent intraday highs converge. This level represents approximately 10% upside from

Ethereum Price Prediction: Whales Keep ETH Under Pressure

Ethereum　　Ethereum Price Prediction: Whales Keep ETH Under Pressure　　Ethereum is facing pressure from two sides as whale positioning stays negative and ETH/BTC remains inside a descending channel. For now, ETH needs stronger buying activity and a clear ETH/BTC recovery to weaken the bearish setup.　　Ethereum Whales Stay Bearish as ETH Price Holds Near $2,300　　Ethereum whales are still showing a bearish position, according to the Ethereum Whale vs Retail Delta chart shared by CW.　　The chart shows the whale vs retail delta moving below zero in recent weeks. That means whale positioning has turned negative compared with retail positioning. In simple terms, larger traders appear more short than retail traders.　　Ethereum Whale vs Retail Delta Chart. Source:　　ETH price is holding near the $2,300 area, while the delta remains in the red zone. This suggests whales have not yet shifted back to a bullish stance, even after Ethereum stabilized from its recent decline.　　The chart also shows that previous positive delta periods often appeared during stronger ETH moves. However, the current negative reading shows a different setup. Whales still appear positioned for more downside or at least remain cautious.　　If the whale vs retail delta stays below zero, ETH could face pressure near current levels. A deeper decline

Finance　　US Dollar: Strong data supports Dollar gains – Rabobank　　Rabobank strategist Molly Schwartz notes that hotter US trade price data for April pushed United States (US) Treasury yields higher, with import and export prices rising at their fastest monthly pace since early 2022. The report highlights that the US Dollar (USD) was the best performing G10 currency on a one-day view as two-year yields moved back above 4.00%.　　Hotter prices lift yields and USD　　“US Treasury yields closed higher after hotter-than-expected trade price data for April printed, with import prices up 1.9% m/m and export prices up 3.3% m/m.”　　“These were the fastest monthly price index increases since early 2022 for both.”　　“However, the import price index, excluding petroleum, registered more modest gains of only 0.7% which, while hotter than the expected print of 0.5%, is cooler than levels seen as recently as January and February of this year.”　　“Yesterday afternoon saw a surge in yields across the board, absent a clear driver in sparse news flow, as the 2 year closed 3bp higher, above 4.00%.”　　“USD was the best performing G10 currency yesterday on a one day view.”
