Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad DisclosureBitcoin’s recent price action may be more strategic than it appears. As the broader market watches with uncertainty, a classic inverse head and shoulders pattern seems to be forming, with BTC potentially building out the right shoulder. This formation, if completed, could act as a launchpad for the next major leg up. However, before that happens, a dip into the $90,000–$95,000 support zone might occur, offering a necessary shakeout and RSI reset before a more explosive breakout can take hold.

Japan’s biggest carmakers expect to lose more than $19 billion after the tariffs that United States President Donald Trump placed on imported vehicles and parts sent shockwaves through the auto industry.
The industry’s leading brands say the duties will squeeze financial performance this year and beyond. Some firms have even stopped giving guidance while they recalculate the cost of Washington’s changing policies and consider whether to shift future work away from North America.
Toyota Motor Corp., the world’s largest carmaker, faces the steepest blow. The company told investors last week that

Under the accelerated impact of the digital wave, the way the world operates is being redefined almost every day. So, how can a globally applicable standard be established among the independently operating identification systems, asset allocation, and regulatory rules within various sovereign countries to break through the "glass ceiling" posed by issues such as data silos, inconsistent standards, and high compliance costs?
To break through this ceiling, what we need is a trust foundation that can be accepted by sovereign nations, multinational corporations, and even pure Web3 communities. Sig

Since the outbreak of GameFi in 2021, it has become an important engine for the growth of Web3 users. However, with the explosive increase in the number of projects, the track quickly fell into a quagmire of homogenization—issue coin, launch, big pump, drop to zero, with astonishingly short cycles. Users repeatedly lost their bearings in various "gold mining and brick moving" activities, ultimately losing confidence in the economic sustainability of GameFi projects.
The fundamental reason is actually very simple: most GameFi projects have never truly designed a reasonable economic model. Their

In a clear sign of institutional conviction, BlackRock BTC purchases show $678 million in one day. This purchase equaled nearly fifteen times the daily Bitcoin mining output. Such aggressive accumulation signals strong confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. This move coincided with over $4 billion of ETF inflows in the prior two weeks. Currently, more than 1.34 million BTC sit locked in spot ETF products. Shrinking supply may push prices upward while nearly $3.1 billion in shorts widen risk.
BlackRock BTC Trust (IBIT) led this accumulation, distinguishing itself from other institutional
