Analyst warns traders pricing in TACO trade could face a rude awakening

Traders are underestimating how deeply the current conflict in the Middle East could reshape the macro backdrop, with some positioning around a so‑called “TACO trade”—short for “Trump always chickens out”—dominating chatter in crypto and broader markets. Nic Puckrin, founder of Coin Bureau, popularized the term to describe a supposed tendency for U.S. leadership to back away from geopolitical flare‑ups. But he cautions that the situation is far more intricate than a single decision by any one leader, and there are no quick exits from a widening conflict. Oil prices have become a central barometer for the scenario. If crude stays above $100 per barrel, growth in the United States could slow while Personal Consumption Expenditures inflation rises, potentially by as much as one percentage point, according to Puckrin. That dynamic would complicate the Federal Reserve’s already delicate task of steering policy in an environment where inflation remains persistent and growth is uncertain. The...

Ethereum Approaches Cycle Low as Bitmain Indicates Violent Belief

The present perspective is determined by historical correlations Lee based part of his opinion on the analysis of a market technician named Tom DeMark. The data indicate that the recent price trend of Ethereum is highly correlated with the S&P 500 during the crash of 1987 and the correction of 2011. These trends suggest that Ethereum might already be at a bottom or nearing one. As of today, Ethereum is trading at an approximate 22 percent discount to its real price of 2,241. The measure represents the mean price floor of every coin on-chain. Moreover, the same discounts were observed at the bottoms of past cycles, which supports the idea that selling pressure could be declining. Bitmain has over 3 million staked Ether worth approximately 6.6 billion. The company also has close to 10 billion in crypto assets. The exposure indicates high confidence in Ethereum's long-term recovery and has helped lift its stock during premarket trading on March 16. In addition, the size of its sta...

Bitget CFD Hits 6B as Traders Move into Gold and Oil

The increase in the demand for commodities spurs up growth of volume The more the price swings, the more traders have been moving towards the derivatives of gold and oil. Oil prices have also been increasing to multi-year levels, aided by the current conflict in Iran. Also, gold has been performing well, given that investors have turned to it to offer security in the midst of unpredictability in the market. The trend has motivated traders to spend outside of crypto assets and to invest in conventional instruments. According to Bitget, the behavior of the users is noticeably changing as they abandon single-market exposure. Rather, it is now actively trading in a variety of asset classes on a single platform. As a result, the trading activity has become more dispersed among forex pairs, indices, and commodities, as well as digital assets, in response to correlated moves in the global financial systems. The exchange has increased its services in terms of tokenized stocks, exchange-traded ...

Bitcoin faces further downside as analyst marks $60k as key level

Professional trader Alessio Rastani has revised his Bitcoin outlook, suggesting the market could slip below $60,000 before a meaningful bottom forms. In a recent Cointelegraph interview, Rastani explained that while Bitcoin staged a brief recovery earlier this year, the shape of that bounce does not yet justify a sustained uptrend. Rastani has not abandoned his broader bearish-to-neutral stance; he argues that the current price action remains structurally fragile. The result, he says, is a heightened probability of another test of lower levels before buyers regain conviction and a durable bottom takes root. Key takeaways Bitcoin may trade under $60,000 again before a lasting bottom appears, according to Alessio Rastani. A critical support corridor could emerge between about $59,000 and $46,000, where longer-term buying opportunities might materialize. Rastani remains skeptical of Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs in 2026, signaling a delayed recovery timeline. Beyond crypto, he cauti...

BitFuFu Cuts Back Self-Mined Bitcoin, Bets on Cloud Mining in 2025

BitFuFu, a Singapore-based Bitcoin mining operator, reported a pronounced shift in its 2025 business mix, with cloud mining eclipsing self-mining as the primary revenue driver. The unaudited full-year results show revenue of $475.8 million, up 2.7% from 2024, while the company’s self-mining output collapsed and its Bitcoin treasury edged higher. Self-mining output dropped to 611 BTC in 2025 from 2,537 BTC a year earlier, even as holdings rose to 1,778 BTC from 1,720 BTC. BitFuFu attributed the shift to weaker earnings per terahash, higher mining difficulty, and a reduced share of hashrate allocated to self-mining as the company leaned more heavily into cloud-mining products. The firm noted a 52% decline in daily earnings per terahash and a 47% reduction in the portion of hashrate devoted to self-mining, with higher Bitcoin prices partially offsetting the impact. The results were announced in a GlobeNewswire release covering BitFuFu’s unaudited 2025 full-year figures. BitFuFu said the r...
