Jordi Visser, a well-known figure in the financial world, emphasized in a broadcast that global markets have entered a “capacity” phase and that investors must now accept that the era of low inflation and abundant liquidity is over.

Cardano has been stuck below 30 cents for weeks, and its ranking among global cryptocurrencies has slipped to 12th place. Against that backdrop, a trader is now arguing the coin could still reach $2 — and sooner than most people think. The Math Behind The Claim The argument comes from Yesreel, a crypto trader with six years of experience, who posted the projection on social media. Based on his analysis, ADA would only need to string together five to six days of 40–50% daily gains to close the gap between its current price and the $2 target. At roughly $0.25…

Prediction markets aggregate human judgment in theory, but some of their consistent trading opportunities may end up captured by systems that move faster than any person can.Arbitrage opportunities can show up as brief mispricings, from outcomes that temporarily fail to sum up to 100%, to short delays in how quickly markets react to new information.Rodrigo Coelho, CEO of Edge & Node, said bots are already scanning hundreds of markets per second, a role that increasingly overlaps with more advanced AI-driven agents.“Capturing those opportunities requires monitoring thousands of markets and executing trades almost instantly, which is why they’re largely dominated by…

Bitcoin’s recent price action confirms a clear structural breakdown, ending weeks of compression and shifting momentum to the downside. While a short-term bounce remains possible as price fills nearby imbalances, the broader outlook stays bearish. Unless key resistance levels are quickly reclaimed, any upside move is likely to be temporary, with further downside pressure expected. Rising Channel Breakdown Signals Shift In Structure According to a BTC update by crypto analyst Columbus, the market structure has finally broken down after weeks of compression. Price had been coiling within a rising channel, forming higher lows that pressed into overhead resistance. Instead of…
