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.

Bitcoin selling pressure from shorts ease as dip buyers return

Bitcoin selling pressure from shorts ease as dip buyers return

The post Bitcoin selling pressure from shorts ease as dip buyers return appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Bitcoin Futures sentiment turns positive after five consecutive days in negative territory. Buyers returned after nine days, pushing Bitcoin’s funding rate to a weekly high. Since hitting $124k a week ago, Bitcoin [BTC] has experienced a strong downtrend, reaching a low of $111.9k. In fact, at the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $112,920, marking a 5.3% decline on weekly charts.  Amid this price drop, investors are rushing into futures, and demand has recovered significantly.  Selling pressure from shorts cool down According to CryptoQuant’s analysis, Bitcoin’s Futures Composite Sentiment Index turned positive after being negative for five days.  A shift into the positive zone indicates that aggressive buyers now dominate futures trade at the margin. Therefore, selling pressure from shorts has eased, and dip buyers have jumped to fill the gap.  Source: CryptoQuant When market sentiment shifts, it often drives the spot price in the same direction, triggering short covering and attracting liquidity that chases momentum. For instance, during the dip in early August, the sentiment metric fell below -1, then quickly rebounded into positive territory, pushing Bitcoin up to $124k.  More recently, after dipping to -0.7, the metric has again turned positive. Could this signal another rally? Buyers step in Notably, with selling pressure from shorts easing, buyers jumped into the market. According to CryptoQuant’s data, the Taker Buy Sell Ratio spiked into positive territory after being negative for nine consecutive days.  Source: CryptoQuant On the 22nd of August, this metric saw around 1.05, indicating a higher buying pressure compared to selling, a clear accumulation signal.  On top of that, Bitcoin’s Funding Rate surged to a weekly high of 0.0095, reflecting a higher demand for longs. Thus, these buyers entered the market to take longs in an attempt to cover easing shorts.  Source: CryptoQuant Not in…

Powell Signals Interest Rate Cuts In Jackson Hole Speech (Live Updates)

Powell Signals Interest Rate Cuts In Jackson Hole Speech (Live Updates)

The post Powell Signals Interest Rate Cuts In Jackson Hole Speech (Live Updates) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Friday signaled openness to possible interest rate cuts in his final appearance at the Fed’s annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, sparking a broader market rally on the hopes of a loose monetary policy. Powell has faced pressure from Trump to lower interest rates. Getty Images Key Facts “The stability of the unemployment rate and other labor market measures allows us to proceed carefully as we consider changes to our policy stance,” Powell said in prepared remarks, adding, “Nonetheless, with policy in restrictive territory, the baseline outlook and the shifting balance of risks may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” The labor market was in good shape and the American economy has shown “resilience,” Powell said, noting tariffs “could spur a more lasting inflation dynamic” that may be “a risk to be assessed and managed.” There is a “reasonable base case” that tariff impacts will be “short lived” and a “one-time shift in the price level” that would not support higher interest rates, Powell suggested while reiterating he believed the possible effects of tariffs on prices remains uncertain. Powell said the “balance of risks appear to be shifting” between the central bank’s dual mandate of full employment and stabilized prices, citing “sweeping changes” in trade, immigration and tax policy. Powell, in an apparent pushback to political pressures, emphasized decisions by the Fed on monetary policy are based on economic data: “We will never deviate from that approach.” The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped by more than 700 points (1.6%) to a fresh intraday high in the wake of Powell’s remarks, while the S&P 500 rallied 1.2% and Nasdaq jumped 1.3%. Big Number 91.3%. Those are the odds the Fed lowers interest rates by a quarter-point in September, according to CME’s FedWatch. Odds surged earlier…

Ethereum ETF Sees $580M Outflows Ahead of Powell Speech

Ethereum ETF Sees $580M Outflows Ahead of Powell Speech

The post Ethereum ETF Sees $580M Outflows Ahead of Powell Speech appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. US-traded spot Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETF) experienced massive outflows totaling $578 million over three trading days from Aug. 18 to Aug. 21. However, macroeconomic uncertainty rather than declining institutional interest is likely the driver for the outflows. As a result, ETH’s price has fundamentals to keep its upward movement, though it is still vulnerable to macroeconomic developments. Macro Backdrop Drives Risk-Off Sentiment Farside Investors data showed that Aug. 19 recorded the second-largest single-day outflows in Ethereum ETF history at $429.6 million. The outflow was exceeded only by the $465.1 million exodus recorded on Aug. 4 during a broader market correction. The outflows coincide with heightened market volatility as investors position defensively ahead of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech scheduled for Aug. 22. Analysts noted that communication uncertainty from the Fed typically triggers profit-taking as traders de-risk positions ahead of major policy announcements. Economic data adds to the uncertainty building. Producer Price Index figures exceeded forecasts, with July producer prices jumping 0.9% versus the anticipated 0.2% increase. The hotter-than-expected inflation data raised questions about the persistence of price pressures and the Fed’s ability to implement aggressive rate cuts. Further, President Donald Trump’s unveiling of modified “reciprocal” tariffs ranging between 10% and 41% on dozens of countries added additional uncertainty. According to FOMC minutes published on Aug. 20, the Fed is still concerned that the tariffs’ shock might be stronger than the current effects. Institutional Interest Signals Robustness Despite the substantial outflows, Ethereum ETF have maintained net positive flows of approximately $2.1 billion throughout August. Further, the ETFs broke the outflow streak with $287.6 million of positive flows in Aug. 21. The positive flows relate to a backdrop of continued strong institutional demand for Ethereum exposure.
