Index

A crypto Index provides a way for investors to gain diversified exposure to a specific basket of digital assets through a single tokenized product. These indices often track specific sectors, such as DeFi, DePIN, or RWA, and are automatically rebalanced via smart contracts. In 2026, AI-managed thematic indices have become the gold standard for passive investing, allowing users to track the "blue chips" of the Web3 economy without manual portfolio management. This tag covers index methodology, rebalancing frequency, and the benefits of diversified crypto baskets.

US Dollar weakness pressures USD/JPY as Fed jitters grow

US Dollar weakness pressures USD/JPY as Fed jitters grow

The post US Dollar weakness pressures USD/JPY as Fed jitters grow appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Following Monday’s decent gains, USD/JPY faces renewed downside pressure on Tuesday’s turnaround, coming all the way down to retest the 147.00 region, where some decent contention seems to have turned up. USD/JPY focused on Fed, data The daily pullback, in the meantime, comes in response to fresh selling bias around the US Dollar, which was particularly reignited after President Donald Trump’s attempt to fire FOMC Governor Lisa Cook. That move appears to have woken up fears over the Fed’s independence, keeping the Greenback’s price action depressed amid mixed US yields across different time frames. Data-wise, on the US calendar, Durable Goods Orders contracted at a monthly 2.8% in July, while the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence eased to 97.4 in August. Additional data was centred on the housing sector, with the FHFA’s House Price Index dropping by 0.2% in June from a month earlier, and the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price index coming in flat on a monthly basis also in June. On the tech front If USD/JPY breaks above the weekly high at 148.77 (August 22), it would bring the 200-day SMA at 149.00 back into focus, followed by the August peak at 150.91 (August 1). A sustained move higher could then target the March top at 151.30 (March 3) and the weekly high at 154.79 (February 13). On the downside, initial support lies at the August low of 146.21 (August 14), followed by the weekly trough at 145.85 (July 24). Further weakness would put the 100-day SMA at 145.46 into play, ahead of the July base at 142.67 (July 1) and the May low at 142.10 (May 27).

S&P 500 rose 0.2% on Wednesday as traders waited for Nvidia’s earnings report

S&P 500 rose 0.2% on Wednesday as traders waited for Nvidia’s earnings report

The post S&P 500 rose 0.2% on Wednesday as traders waited for Nvidia’s earnings report appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The S&P 500 surged 0.2% on Wednesday as Wall Street waited for Nvidia Corporation’s earnings report, a key moment for this year’s stock rally. The chipmaker, now the largest stock in the index with roughly 8% weight, barely moved during the session, but traders held their positions tight. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 135 points, or 0.3%. The trading day was calm on the surface, but the pressure underneath was real. Investors didn’t want to change positions until they saw whether Nvidia’s numbers would support the recent gains in tech stocks or trigger a pullback. The earnings are seen as critical because Nvidia has become the face of the AI wave that’s driven much of the S&P 500’s gains this year. With a single stock now carrying that much weight, traders were waiting to react. The report is due after the market closes. Any surprise in those numbers will not just move Nvidia. It will hit the entire index. The trading session also reflected global uncertainty. Traders showed interest in euro options that profit if the currency gains. That demand, seen Tuesday, came even as speculation built around a possible confidence vote that could force the French government to collapse. French assets stayed under pressure, but the euro held up. This disconnect isn’t new. A similar situation played out last year, French stocks dropped, yields widened, but the euro barely moved. Euro weakens as dollar gains after Fed drama returns On Wednesday, the euro fell to a three-week low. Traders in Europe said month-end flows pushed up the U.S. dollar, which led to the euro’s decline. On Tuesday, the euro had gained 0.2% against the greenback, after news broke about political interference in the Federal Reserve. That news pushed the dollar lower temporarily.…

XAG/USD retreats below $38.50 amid a firmer Dollar

XAG/USD retreats below $38.50 amid a firmer Dollar

The post XAG/USD retreats below $38.50 amid a firmer Dollar  appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Silver drifts lower from highs above $39.00 amid US Dollar strength. Concerns about France’s government collapse are offsetting investors’ doubts about the Fed’s independence. XAG/USD bears are testing support at $38.35. Silver’s (XAG/USD) accelerates its reversal from last week’s highs right above $39.00, to levels below $38.50, with bears testing support at Tuesday’s low of $39.35, amid a broad-based US Dollar strength on Wednesday. The US Dollar Index, which measures the value of the US Dollar against the world’s most-traded currencies, appreciates for the fourth consecutive day. The Greenback is drawing support from a weak Euro amid market concerns about the consequences of a highly likely collapse of the French government. The market, so far, is shrugging off concerns about Trump’s attempts to compromise the Federal Reserve’s independence and rising hopes of immediate Fed cuts, which leaves precious metals on the defensive. Technical Analysis: $38.35 support is a key level for bears From a technical point of view, the XAG/USD pair shows a bearish correction from the one-month highs at $39.07 hit last Friday, with price action testing support at $38.35 (August 25 and 26 lows) A successful break of this level would push the 4-Hour RSI below the key 50 level, increasing bearish momentum and bringing the August 22 low, at $37.70, into play. Further down the bottom of the ascending channel is now around $37.25. To the upside, the intraday high at $37.875 and Tuesday’s high at $37.85 are likely to challenge bulls ahead of the August 22 high, at $39.10, and the July 22 high, at $39.55. Silver FAQs Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment…

Bitcoin-supporting company Metaplanet is preparing to buy Bitcoin with a new stock issuance program! Here are the details

The post Bitcoin-supporting company Metaplanet is preparing to buy Bitcoin with a new stock issuance program! Here are the details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Metaplanet, a Japan-based and publicly traded company, has announced a new strategy that will attract attention in the cryptocurrency markets. Japanese Company Metaplanet Prepares to Acquire Bitcoin with $881 Million in Share Issuance The company plans to raise 130.334 billion yen (about $881 million) through an international stock offering. The majority of the funds will be directed toward direct Bitcoin investments. According to the company’s statement, 123.818 billion yen ($837 million) of the capital to be collected will be used for Bitcoin acquisitions between September and October 2025. The remaining 6.516 billion yen ($44 million) will be allocated to the development of Bitcoin-focused financial operations. Metaplanet is one of the Asian companies that has been making headlines recently for its aggressive Bitcoin strategy. The company currently holds 18,991 Bitcoins. The total value of these assets is estimated at approximately 314.6 billion yen as of August 25, 2025. Experts interpret Metaplanet’s move as part of a growing trend toward Bitcoin being favored by institutional treasuries. The adoption of this strategy, particularly one pioneered by MicroStrategy, in Japan could boost institutional investor interest in the region. Company officials emphasize that the new investments are made within the scope of a long-term strategy and that Metaplanet aims to position Bitcoin as a “core reserve asset” on its balance sheet. This development is seen as a new milestone in the global institutional adoption of Bitcoin. *This is not investment advice.

Embedding Similarity Scoring for Smarter Image Retrieval Systems

Embedding Similarity Scoring for Smarter Image Retrieval Systems

Re-ranking in information retrieval improves search accuracy by reordering initial results using methods like relevance feedback, learning-to-rank models, and contextual embeddings. This article explores ColBERT’s contextualized late interaction framework and extends it into a two-stage re-ranking method for image retrieval. By combining filtering, similarity scoring, and localization, the approach enhances not only the precision of retrieved results but also the ability to identify anatomical regions of interest in complex datasets.
