Solana’s first spot exchange-traded funds in North America are set to go live this week in Canada. According to Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, Canada is ready to welcome its first spot Solana ( SOL ) spot ETFs. Canada is readying spot Solana ETFs to launch this week after regulator gave green light to multiple issuers incl Purpose, Evolve, CI and 3iQ. ETFs will include staking via TD pic.twitter.com/FSw149Xkm4 — Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) April 14, 2025 The upcoming ETFs will offer investors access to funds that hold long-term positions in SOL, tracking the physical Solana tokens. The launch marks a significant milestone, especially as the broader investor community awaits potential approval of spot ETFs for Solana and other altcoins in the United States.

However, Balchunas cautioned that the launch may struggle to attract immediate traction, referencing the underwhelming performance of the Solana futures ETFs that recently debuted in the U.S. These funds have so far failed to gather substantial assets under management. “The 2x XRP already has more aum than both the Solana ETFs and it came out after,” he wrote on X. “Wouldn’t read a ton into it, but it’s our first look at the alt coin race.” Canada saw the first spot Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ethereum ( ETH ) ETFs, well before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission gave the greenlight for the U.S. markets BTC and ETH ETFs. SOL funds going live in the country could also provide a similar pattern, with the SEC currently having several altcoin ETF applications before it . Apart from Solana, other highly anticipated crypto ETFs include XRP, Litecoin and Cardano. You might also like: Kraken Veterans take over Janover with new focus on Solana holdings
Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, the founder and former CEO of Binance, has responded to a growing rumor that he secretly works for the US Federal Reserve and never served jail time. The claim gained traction after a Chinese influencer made the allegations public during an X Spaces talk that attracted thousands of listeners. Binance Founder Debunks Federal Reserve Ties As the Binance founder revealed on X , the story originated from a Chinese influencer using the X handle Liangxihgui. In a detailed post, the influencer alleged that CZ’s legal troubles in the United States were staged and that he serves as a covert operative for the US Federal Reserve. The message sparked intense interest online, drawing in an audience of 119,000 listeners on the X Spaces. In response, CZ posted on his X account to publicly dismiss the claims. He shared a screenshot of the original message and stated that, while the story was amusing, it was completely false. He clarified that he did serve a four-month prison sentence in the United States, from May to September 2024, for violations related to anti-money laundering laws. After his release, Changpeng Zhao shared some key moments from prison. WSJ Smear Job and the CZ Response It is worth noting that before this, CZ addressed another circulating rumor. This one claimed he had worked with the US Department of Justice to target fellow crypto figure Justin Sun. A report by the Wall Street Journal alleged that Binance executives were negotiating a regulatory return to the US while working with the DOJ to obtain evidence against Sun . The Binance Founder dismissed the claims as a smear campaign and accused the media outlet of being paid to spread false information about him. He reminded the public that he had served prison time. Justin Sun also came to his defense, stating that he was unaware of the rumor. Meanwhile, CZ mentioned that such rumors are not new and often come from influencers trying to grow their follower base. One of his followers joked that if the Binance founder worked for the Federal Reserve, Bitcoin’s price would be at an all-time high. Changpeng Zhao Shifts Focus to YZi Labs and Giggle Academy Since leaving prison and stepping down from his role as Binance CEO, CZ has shifted his focus to new ventures. As reported earlier by CoinGape, he is now working in a key leadership position after Binance Labs rebranded to YZi Labs . In addition, he has also been building Giggle Academy, an educational platform for students. The project was first announced before his prison sentence, and the app for younger children went live in December 2024. CZ has said he will dedicate the coming years to this educational effort.

TL;DR One Dogecoin developer cautioned the community to avoid people promoting dubious tokens resembling Dogecoin’s name. DOGE’s price is heating up after a solid week, with analysts predicting a potential surge toward $0.29 and even new highs. DOGE Community, Stay Alert The biggest meme coin has one of the largest and most devoted community bases across all cryptocurrencies, making it a prime target for fraudulent schemes. The pseudonymous developer and prominent contributor in the Dogecoin ecosystem, who goes by the X moniker inevitable360 recently issued an important warning. They advised community members to stay away from anyone promoting tokens that resemble the OG meme coin’s name. The X user opined that those should be taken as schemes since they don’t have their own blockchain, like Dogecoin or Bitcoin, for example. “If someone really wants to help others or save dogs, don’t need any token no matter the excuse,” the developer added. The cautionary note follows Dogecoin’s recent advancements, which have fueled optimism within the community. Last week, 21Shares teamed up with the House of Doge to launch Dogecoin ETP on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The product is 100% physically backed, “offering a transparent and seamless way” for investors to gain exposure to the asset through traditional financial channels. Additionally, 21Shares filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for approval to introduce a spot Dogecoin ETF. Thus, it followed the example of Grayscale and Bitwise, which have previously displayed such intentions. As of this writing, the chances of an approved spot DOGE ETF before the end of 2025 stand at around 64%. DOGE Price Outlook The warning also comes after a successful week for the token, during which its price has risen by almost 20%. Currently, it trades at around $0.16, while the market capitalization stands just south of $25 billion. DOGE Price, Source: CoinGecko Some analysts believe the uptrend is still at its starting point , envisioning further gains in the short term. Ali Martinez claimed a close above $0.17 could open the door to an upswing to $0.21 or $0.29 as long as Dogecoin holds the key $0.13 support. The X user JAVON MARKS is even more optimistic. They think DOGE looks ready to put on “yet another magical bullish performance” to a new all-time high.

Vaulta, formerly known as EOS, is emerging from its past with a renewed focus on practical finance and compliance-first blockchain infrastructure. The network recently partnered with digital asset platform VirgoCX to launch VirgoPay, a cross-border remittance app leveraging stablecoins to slash fees and speed up transactions. With Vaulta serving as the default settlement layer, VirgoPay aims to deliver near-instant payments across jurisdictions, beginning with markets like the U.S., Canada, Brazil, and Hong Kong. In this Q&A, we spoke with Yves La Rose, Founder and CEO of Vaulta about how its architecture, governance upgrades, and financial tooling set it apart from past iterations, and from today’s competition. Vaulta is a rebrand of EOS, a network criticized a long time ago for validator collusion and governance issues. What concrete changes have been made to governance or consensus to avoid repeating those same flaws? Two main early objections to EOS were indeed: Originally the EOS constitution sought to forbid social pressure vote buying, however on-chain enforcement proved to be unworkable. Paying a share of their income to their stakers became accepted over time as normal for validators. Ironically, EOS was mostly hampered by too much decentralization in decision-making, so halting development. Huge projects were shelved without a “central coordinator” or a uniting basis. What then sets Vaulta unique? The EOS Network Foundation (ENF) was founded in 2021 by the ecosystem to act as a growth plan and uniting agent. This “centralizing force for good” now distributes community resources toward technical developments, marketing, and infrastructure, closing the gaps that formerly hampered EOS’s progress. Spring Hard Fork and New Consensus: With the rebranding to Vaulta, the community also embraced a next-generation consensus model that further distributes the core algorithms, thus decentralizing them further. This change answers earlier governance issues by: Distribution of validation roles among a larger spectrum of participants to help reduce the likelihood that a small clique will have too much influence. Though the foundation and community can suggest code changes, token-holder votes finally decide on the matter. Although most proof-of-stake networks now follow a practice whereby validators reward their stakers, the combination of the ENF (now Vaulta Foundation), more advanced on-chain technologies, and an active token-holder community helps to better balance necessary coordination with distributed decision-making. VirgoPay relies heavily on USDC and USDT. What’s your plan if a stablecoin depegs or is frozen? Are users exposed to systemic risk tied to the stablecoin issuers? Though Vaulta itself does not build VirgoPay, it does depend on Vaulta as the default settlement layer. That said, any platform leveraging centralized stablecoins runs the same macro risks—depegging or address freezes. Among the main mitigating techniques are: Vaulta natively supports Tether (USDT), and via our Bitcoin transport layer (exSat), it also supports USDC. This gives flexibility; should one stablecoin have problems, application developers—like VirgoPay—can swiftly change to substitutes. Apps can use automated triggers if a stablecoin’s peg deviates beyond reasonable thresholds—halting inflows or swapping users to safer assets—because transactions and prices are transparent on-chain. Should users lose faith in a specific issuer, they can decide to hold other digital assets on Vaulta or even hold several stablecoins. No blockchain can ultimately completely remove the counterparty risk associated with outside stablecoin issuers. But Vaulta’s open architecture, several stablecoin choices, and strong toolkit for on-chain monitoring help payment solutions like VirgoPay to handle and reduce possible fallout. Speaking of which, are stablecoins natively issued on Vaulta, or bridged? If bridged, how are funds secured and audited? What’s stopping this from becoming another cross-chain vulnerability? Vaulta offers native as well as bridged stablecoin capability: USDT, Native Tether: Tether Limited natively deploys USDT in line with other major blockchains, treating the network accordingly. Tether is issued straight from Vaulta. Using a bridging solution across exSat, our Bitcoin Transport Layer, USDC via exSat unlocks cross-chain liquidity from Bitcoin and other chains on Vaulta. This approach assures robust security policies and expands Vaulta’s stablecoin options. How are audited and secured these bridges? Leading third-party blockchain security firms carefully review and audit the smart contracts and bridging systems on their own. Trackable in real-time, locked collateral and minted tokens let the community verify that everything fits. Should a security flaw come to light, our on-chain governance lets the bridging contracts be replaced or changed without halting the entire network. By means of careful audits, open proof-of-reserves, and a governance structure capable of rapid reaction should vulnerabilities surface, Vaulta’s bridging architecture essentially seeks to reduce cross-chain risk. You’re launching in Canada, Argentina, and Brazil—all of which have strict rules on crypto and stablecoins. How are you ensuring compliance in each market, and what happens if regulators crack down? Vaulta itself is a permissionless, global network; compliance becomes a matter of local on-ramps and applications deployed atop. VirgoPay, for instance, must abide by KYC, AML, and national licensing guidelines specific to every country. Virgo is already registered as an MSB in Canada. Legal criteria (such as transaction reporting or user onboarding) will be fulfilled by mixing with local financial institutions or payment providers in the 6 jurisdictions they operate in, U.S., Hong Kong, Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Australia. Usually starting in smaller pilot projects, jurisdictional-specific rollouts help to ensure local compliance. Should authorities tighten rules, the relevant front-end—like VirgoPay—can either change or suspend particular services in that jurisdiction. On a global scale, Vaulta’s fundamental chain is still functioning without any changes. Stressing possible benefits for remittances, financial inclusion, and cost savings, the Vaulta Foundation and related stakeholders actively interact with legislators to clarify how Vaulta’s distributed infrastructure runs. Every local partner can negotiate the legal environment by controlling compliance at the application level, preserving the permissionless character of the Vaulta protocol itself. As a follow up, Virgo’s remittance experience outside Canada seems limited. Do they have the licenses, partners, and infrastructure to scale globally, or is this all riding on crypto-only rails? The quick response is indeed yes, they have licenses, partners, and infrastructure to scale globally. What has been announced is only Phase I of their deployment, while Phase II and beyond will expand to more regions and jurisdictions. VirgoPay plans to establish or partner with licensed companies in every new market. This is not unusual; other cross-border payment providers also depend on local ties for fiat on/off ramps. Infrastructure Beyond “Crypto Only”: Although Vaulta is the settlement layer, local banks or PSPs (Payment Service Providers) often enable direct fiat deposit/withdrawal channels in each jurisdiction, augmenting the user experience. This guarantees actual usefulness instead of only crypto-to-cryptocurrency exchanges. Launching remittance solutions in several countries is always a step-by-step process, globally scalable over time. Starting with U.S., Hong Kong, Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Australia, VirgoPay can hone its approach, follow local regulations, and then grow much more as licenses and alliances develop. Ripple and Stellar already dominate cross-border stablecoin payments with deep partnerships. What gives VirgoPay an edge, and what prevents incumbents from copying your approach? Ripple and Stellar each have their own integrated ledgers; meanwhile, Vaulta is developing into a more flexible “Web3 Banking OS” offering advanced smart contracts, bridging, and distributed governance. This stimulates creativity: any financial institution can create original solutions on top instead of being limited by the design of one protocol. Vaulta natively supports stablecoins like Tether and also integrates USDC via exSat, forming a native + bridged multi-assets ecosystem. A broader range of assets made possible by this multi-chain capability appeals to different markets and use cases. Incumbents cannot just copy deep cross-chain capability without major improvements to their own protocols. Although the network is still open for anyone to develop upon, the Vaulta Foundation organizes ecosystem development. A strong central organizer plus distributed governance creates a synergy that draws a variety of business, DeFi, and fintech projects—each bringing more liquidity and user acceptance. Although Ripple and Stellar are most known for cross-border payments, Vaulta wants to be a more all-encompassing infrastructure for digital banking services; remittances are only the beginning. This wider scope offers a competitive advantage in developing “banking-grade” functionalities (e.g., lending, escrow, compliance modules) that go beyond stablecoin payments. The term “Web3 Banking OS” is used repeatedly—what does this actually mean in practice, and how is it different from any other smart contract platform with stablecoin support? Not only a one-use chain for token transactions, the “Web3 Banking OS” captures the whole concept of Vaulta: a basic layer for next-generation banking and finance. Vaulta’s smart contracts and network-level tooling are crucial for banks, fintechs—or institutional users—because they offer advanced custody mechanisms, tokenized real-world assets, compliance, reliability (0 downtime in 6+ years) and bridging to other key ecosystems. Unlike general smart contract platforms, where basic advancements may stall, Vaulta has a specific, community-mandated basis to drive development. This guarantees fast and coherent application of features including enhanced consensus or modular bridging. By connecting ideas like exSat, the ecosystem is able to compile BTC, stablecoins, and other tokenized assets at one location. Under a single “operating system,” this multi-chain approach lets developers “mix and match” the finest aspects of several blockchains. Vaulta lays a great focus on developing and growing financial services (credit markets, trade finance, remittances, etc.) that can help millions of users worldwide, thus the word “banking” is deliberately chosen. It addresses tying Web3 capabilities to traditional finance rather than only on-chain gaming or DeFi speculation. Vaulta is an end-to-end framework for the banking of the future whereby companies, fintechs, and people can easily manage digital assets, stablecoins, and new financial products in a distributed, scalable, and compliant manner—not just another smart contract playground.
Security researchers are warning that threat actors are using less noticeable techniques to compromise and steal funds from crypto wallets. Cybersecurity firm ReversingLabs says that cybercriminals are now uploading malicious packages to popular open-source software repositories such as the npm (Node Package Manager). The objective is to inject malicious code into trusted local libraries without raising suspicion. According to ReversingLabs, its research team has identified a new malware campaign targeting crypto users that uses what appears to be a legitimate npm package for converting PDF format files into Microsoft Office documents. When executed, the pdf-to-office npm package will inject malicious code into locally-installed Atomic and Exodus crypto wallets and overwrite their existing, non-malicious files to switch the address for outgoing crypto funds. When a compromised user attempts to send crypto assets to another wallet, the funds will be sent to one controlled by the malicious actors. ReversingLabs says removing the package will not be enough to terminate the malicious activities. “The Web3 wallets’ software would remain compromised and continue to channel crypto funds to the attackers’ wallet. The only way to completely remove the malicious trojanized files from the Web3 wallets’ software would be to remove them completely from the computer and re-install them.” Follow us on X , Facebook and Telegram Don't Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox Check Price Action Surf The Daily Hodl Mix Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.

Harmonic patterns are advanced trading structures that rely on Fibonacci levels and geometric price formations. Among these, the Shark Harmonic is a powerful setup that often appears after a period of market consolidation. Despite being classified as a bearish pattern, the Shark can offer bullish expansion opportunities before the final leg plays out. In Bitcoin’s case, this exact scenario seems to be unfolding. Bitcoin ( BTC ) is currently trading within a structure that resembles a bearish Shark Harmonic. This means that before the final leg (leg D) completes, the price could rally to a new all-time high, creating an opportunity for traders to ride the wave. With price action nearing key confluences and Fibonacci zones, this pattern is quickly becoming one to watch. Key points covered in this article: The structure and significance of the Shark Harmonic pattern on Bitcoin Technical confluence zones supporting a potential leg C top near all-time highs How to position for the bullish expansion and eventual bearish completion Source: TradingView The Shark Harmonic pattern is defined by four legs: X, A, B, C, and D (or sometimes labeled simply XA, AB, and CD). In Bitcoin’s current setup, price is likely approaching the completion of leg C, which often tops out near the 0.886 or 1.13 Fibonacci extension of the XA leg. What’s unique about this case is that the projected leg C aligns not only with these Fibonacci zones, but also with single print areas and auto block support, giving the pattern additional weight. You might also like: Bitcoin price at risk of a death cross as the fear and greed index slips Although the Shark is considered a bearish pattern, the move from the current level to leg C is typically bullish. In fact, this structure implies that Bitcoin could take out its previous all-time high near the $110,000 level before any meaningful reversal occurs. For both day and swing traders, this presents a potentially high-reward opportunity. However, price could remain in low-volume consolidation for some time before breaking out or retesting support, so patience is essential. Confluence is everything in harmonic trading. In this case, the potential completion of leg C is supported by a 0.618 retracement, a key auto block support zone, and a single print area, a trifecta of powerful technical levels. A breakout above the dynamic trendline overhead would further confirm bullish expansion into the leg C target zone. Until that happens, traders can expect continued consolidation, ideal for range-bound or scalping strategies. How to trade this pattern: The most strategic entry comes after a swing low is taken out, forming a swing failure pattern (SFP) setup. This offers a clear invalidation level and a clean entry signal. From there, traders can enter long positions targeting the all-time high region—holding until signs of exhaustion emerge near the leg C top.

Bitcoin’s resilience highlights its growing role as a hedge amid macro uncertainty. Trump’s tariff volatility drives demand for alternative assets like BTC and gold. Legal battles over IEPA raise broader concerns about unchecked economic authority.

The recent surge in Bitcoin price signals a potential shift in market dynamics, but will selling pressure near key resistance levels cap further gains for BTC and altcoins? Institutional behaviors
Bitcoin ( BTC ) bulls are trying to start the week on a positive note by pushing the price above $85,000. Michael Saylor’s Strategy has used the recent dip to buy 3,459 Bitcoin for $285.5 million at an average price of $82,618. That boosts the total holding of the firm to 531,644 Bitcoin purchased at an average price of $67,556. However, not everyone is bullish in the near term. Several institutional investors seem to have trimmed their holdings. CoinShares reported on April 14 that digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) witnessed $795 million in outflows last week . The $7.2 billion in outflows since February have reversed nearly all year-to-date inflows, now at just $165 million. Daily cryptocurrency market performance. Source: Coin360 Although Bitcoin seems to have bottomed out in the short term, a roaring bull market rally is unlikely to start in a hurry. The tariff headlines and the outcome of the tariff talks between the United States and other countries could dictate the price action. Could Bitcoin build upon the recovery, pulling altcoins higher? Let’s analyze the charts to find out. S&P 500 Index price analysis The S&P 500 Index (SPX) witnessed a hugely volatile week, but a positive sign is that lower levels attracted solid buying by the bulls. SPX daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView After the massive volatility of the past few days, the index could enter a quieter phase. Sellers are likely to sell the rallies near 5,500, while the bulls are expected to buy the dips to the 5,119 support. That signals a possible range-bound action between 5,500 and 5,119 for some time. The next trending move is expected to begin after buyers push the price above 5,500 or sink below 4,950. If the 5,500 level gets taken out, the index could surge to 5,800. US Dollar Index price analysis The US Dollar Index (DXY) has been in a freefall since turning down from the 20-day exponential moving average (102.81) on April 10. DXY daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView Buyers defended the 99.57 level on a closing basis on April 11, but the bears renewed their selling on April 14. If the price closes below 99.57, the index could tumble to 97.50 and, after that, to 95. The longer the price remains below 99.57, the greater the risk of starting a new downtrend. If buyers want to prevent a downward move, they will have to swiftly push the price back above 99.57. That could start a recovery to 101. Bitcoin price analysis Bitcoin broke above the resistance line on April 12, and the bulls successfully held the retest of the breakout level on April 13. BTC/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView The 20-day EMA ($82,979) has flattened out, and the RSI is near the midpoint, suggesting that the selling pressure is reducing. The BTC/USDT pair could climb to $89,000, which is likely to act as a stiff resistance. If the price turns down sharply from $89,000 and breaks below the 20-day EMA, it will indicate a range formation. The pair may oscillate between $89,000 and $73,777 for a few days. If sellers want to trap the aggressive bulls and retain control, they will have to quickly pull the price back below the 20-day EMA. If they do that, the pair may descend to $78,500 and subsequently to the vital support at $73,777. Ether price analysis Ether ( ETH ) is facing selling at the 20-day EMA ($1,722), as seen from the long wick on the April 14 candlestick. ETH/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView If the price plummets below $1,546, the ETH/USDT pair could retest the $1,368 support. This is a crucial level for the bulls to defend because a break below $1,368 could start the next leg of the downtrend toward $1,150. Conversely, if buyers propel the price above the 20-day EMA, it signals that the bears are losing their grip. There is resistance at the 50-day SMA ($1,955), but it is likely to be crossed. The pair may then ascend to the solid resistance at $2,111. XRP price analysis XRP ( XRP ) turned down from the 50-day SMA ($2.24) on April 13, indicating that sellers are active at higher levels. XRP/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView The 20-day EMA ($2.10) has flattened out, and the RSI is near the midpoint, indicating a balance between supply and demand. A break below $2 will tilt the advantage in favor of the bears. The XRP/USDT pair could drop to $1.72 and later to $1.61. Buyers will gain the upper hand if they push and maintain the price above the 50-day SMA. If they can pull it off, the pair could rally to the resistance line. Sellers are expected to aggressively defend the resistance line because a break above it signals a potential trend change. BNB price analysis BNB ( BNB ) is facing resistance at the downtrend line, but a minor positive is that the bulls have not ceded much ground to the bears. BNB/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView That increases the likelihood of a break above the downtrend line. If that happens, the BNB/USDT pair could ascend to $645. Sellers will try to guard the $645 level, but it is likely to be crossed. This positive view will be invalidated in the near term if the price turns down sharply from the downtrend line and breaks below $566. That could keep the pair stuck inside the triangle for a while longer. Solana price analysis Sellers are trying to defend the 50-day SMA ($130) in Solana ( SOL ), but the bulls have kept up the pressure. SOL/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView If the price closes above the 50-day SMA, the SOL/USDT pair could rise to the $147 to $153 resistance zone. Sellers are expected to vigorously defend this zone, but if the bulls prevail, the pair could surge to $180. The first support on the downside is the 20-day EMA ($123). A bounce off the 20-day EMA will keep the positive momentum intact, while a break below it could sink the pair to $110 and eventually to $95. Related: Solana rallies 20% against Ethereum, but is $300 SOL price within reach? Dogecoin price analysis Buyers are trying to start a recovery in Dogecoin ( DOGE ) but are expected to face stiff resistance from the bears at the moving averages. DOGE/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView If the price turns down from the moving averages, the bears will again attempt to sink the DOGE/USDT pair below $0.14. If they manage to do that, the selling could accelerate, and the pair may slump to $0.10. Contrarily, if buyers propel the price above the moving averages, the pair could rally to $0.20. This is an important near-term level to watch out for because a break above it will complete a double-bottom pattern. The pair could then climb toward the pattern target of $0.26. Cardano price analysis Buyers are struggling to push Cardano ( ADA ) above the 20-day EMA ($0.65), indicating that demand dries up at higher levels. ADA/USDT daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView If the price turns down from the 20-day EMA, the next support on the downside is $0.58 and then $0.50. Buyers are expected to fiercely defend the $0.50 level because a break below it could sink the ADA/USDT pair to $0.40. On the upside, buyers will have to drive and maintain the price above the 50-day SMA ($0.71) to signal that the downtrend could be over. That could propel the pair to $0.83 and subsequently to $1.03. UNUS SED LEO price analysis Buyers are trying to push UNUS SED LEO ( LEO ) above the 20-day EMA ($9.39), but the bears are posing a substantial challenge. LEO/USD daily chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView The flattening 20-day EMA and the RSI near the midpoint suggest a balance between supply and demand. That could keep the LEO/USD pair stuck between $9.90 and $8.79 for a few days. The next trending move could begin on a break above $9.90 or below $8.79. If buyers kick the price above $9.90, the pair will complete a bullish ascending triangle pattern. This bullish setup has a target objective of $12.04. On the downside, a break below $8.70 could signal the start of a deeper correction toward $8.30. This article does not contain investment advice or recommendations.
