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.

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.

Circle’s biggest bear just threw in the towel, but warns the stock is still a crypto roller coaster

Circle’s rising correlation with ether and DeFi exposure drives the re-rating, despite valuation and competition concerns.

What to know:

  • Compass Point’s Ed Engel upgraded Circle (CRCL) to Neutral from Sell and cut his price target to $60, arguing the stock now trades more as a proxy for crypto markets than as a standalone fintech.
  • Engel notes that CRCL’s performance is increasingly tied to the ether and broader crypto cycles, with more than 75% of USDC supply used in DeFi or on exchanges, and the stock is still trading at a rich premium.
  • Potential catalysts such as the CLARITY Act and tokenization of U.S. assets could support USDC growth, but Circle faces mounting competition from new stablecoins and bank-issued “deposit coins,” and its revenue may remain closely linked to speculative crypto activity for years.
