Bitcoin is holding support at above $40,000, which could stabilize the pullback and encourage short-term buyers to return. But upside appears to be limited, given strong resistance at around $47,000-$50,000.

The cryptocurrency was trading at about $42,000 at press time and is down 2% over the past 24 hours.

  • The relative strength index (RSI) on the daily chart is the most oversold since July 20, which preceded a nearly 60% short-squeeze rally from the $30,000 support level.
  • On the weekly chart, however, the RSI is neutral, suggesting prices could consolidate for a few more days.
  • For now, BTC found support at its 100-day moving average of around $40,000. If broken, lower support is seen at around $37,500, which is the middle of a four-month price range.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

16:9 Image

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Silver nears $1 billion in volume on Hyperliquid as bitcoin remains frozen: Asia Morning Briefing

Blocks of silver (Scottsdale Mint)

Silver perps have more volume on Hyperliquid than SOL or XRP.

Yang perlu diketahui:

  • Silver futures on the Hyperliquid crypto derivatives exchange have surged to become one of its most active markets, ranking just behind bitcoin and ether in trading volume.
  • The SILVER-USDC contract’s high volume, sizable open interest and slightly negative funding suggest traders are using crypto infrastructure for volatility and hedging in macro commodities rather than for directional crypto bets.
  • Bitcoin is holding near $88,000 in a "defensive equilibrium" with cooling ETF inflows, uneven derivatives positioning and rising demand for downside protection, while ether lags and capital rotates toward hard assets like gold and silver.
