Can Bitcoin Hold 80k Ahead of CPI

In today’s BTC USD price prediction, Bitcoin is holding firm above $80,000, a level that seemed distant just weeks ago, even as legendary short-seller Michael Burry delivers one of his starkest equity warnings in years. BTC USD peaked at $82,040 in overnight trading before consolidating. And now, the question is whether the broader macro storm gathering around oil prices and CPI data can shake that $80,000 support level.  Burry, whose 2008 subprime call made him a household name in contrarian circles, published a Substack warning that the Nasdaq 100 trades…

Alpenglow Upgrade Activates for Live Validator Testing

Solana’s Alpenglow upgrade entered community validator testing on May 11, with development firm Anza describing the activation as the largest consensus change in the network’s history, targeting block confirmation times of approximately 150 milliseconds and potentially as low as 100 milliseconds under favorable network conditions. This is huge news for Solana. The upgrade replaces TowerBFT and removes Proof of History from the network’s core process, a structural change significant enough that its success or failure will materially define Solana’s competitive position among high-throughput Layer-1 networks through the remainder of 2026.…

Scaramucci Warns of CLARITY Act Delay Amid Banking Pushback

Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, warned at the Solana Policy Summit that the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) may not pass the Senate for another two to three years due to banking lobby resistance and political gridlock. This highlights the significant institutional opposition to crypto legislation in the Senate, where banking interests are powerful. While the CLARITY Act seemed on track for enactment after passing the House in late 2025, Scaramucci’s assessment suggests a much more uncertain future. He may be making this prediction to adjust expectations…

Ripple Spikes +2%, Outperforming BTC and ETH in Breakout Move

XRP Ripple has cleared a resistance ceiling that had turned back multiple rally attempts since April, surging 2.5% to trade around $1.45 while Bitcoin and Ethereum posted comparatively muted gains. The move came fast, and the volume behind it raised eyebrows. Whether the breakout holds or fades into another false start depends on one level that traders are watching closely right now. The token climbed from $1.4176 to a session high of $1.5073 before profit-taking trimmed the advance, leaving XRP holding near the $1.45 area that previously acted as a…

The tokenized instrument at the center of the pilot was Ondo Finance’s OUSG, which holds $250 million in assets under management backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries carrying an average maturity of 100…

XRP Momentum Fades As Bulls Fail To Hold Breakout Zone

XRP’s latest breakout attempt appears to be losing steam as bulls struggle to maintain price action above the key resistance zone near $1.45. The rejection has pushed XRP back toward an important support area despite ongoing bullish developments surrounding Ripple and the XRPL ecosystem.  Failure To Hold Above $1.45 Resistance In a recent analysis, crypto analyst EllaWeb3 noted that XRP struggled to maintain momentum above the $1.45 level and has since started drifting back toward the same breakout zone that traders had been closely monitoring in recent sessions. The rejection…

Bitcoin Below $80K as Iran War Escalates: Green Streak Broken?

Bitcoin slipped back below $80,000 today (May 8), as fresh US military strikes in the Strait of Hormuz drained risk appetite across markets, pushing BTC to $79,250, a -2.8% decline in 24 hours. The retreat snaps a multi-day green streak that had carried the asset to $82,700 earlier this week. Whether the six-week winning run survives the weekend depends on one question: Will Iran respond or negotiate? The proximate trigger was a reported new round of US strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, which rattled broader equity markets and prompted…
