Bitcoin is breaking above a short-term downtrend, which could support further upside toward the $65,000 resistance level. The all-time high around $66,900 is also within reach, although buyers struggled to sustain that level last week.

BTC has whipsawed over the past few days, which created choppy trading conditions. This is typical during a consolidation phase, especially after a near-50% price rally over the past month.

As of press time the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization was changing hands around $62,500, up 2.4% over the past 24 hours.

The relative strength index (RSI) on the daily chart is rising from neutral levels, which means the pullback in BTC’s price is starting to stabilize. However, the weekly RSI is approaching overbought levels, which typically precedes a pullback in price.

Overall, upside momentum is improving with seasonal strength in the fourth quarter. A confirmed breakout (two consecutive daily closes) above the all-time high would yield a measured move projection toward $86,000. On the other hand, an immediate price pullback could be limited around the $53,000 support level.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Title Image

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.

What to know:

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.

The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

BTC, ETH, SOL move higher as markets eye Fed, Mag 7 earnings and weaker dollar

A matador faces a bull

Crypto prices steadied as traders looked past short-term volatility with positioning shifting to the Fed, megacap earnings and a weakening dollar.

What to know:

  • Bitcoin hovered just below $89,000 in Asian trading, posting modest gains in a narrow range as traders awaited a key Federal Reserve decision.
  • A weaker U.S. dollar and record-setting global equity markets, led by technology shares and AI optimism, have supported risk assets but crypto has lagged metals like gold and silver.
  • Analysts say bitcoin's rebound from the $86,000–$87,000 zone reflects reduced leverage and short-term stabilization rather than strong momentum as markets brace for Fed guidance and major tech earnings.
