Crucial Bitcoin (BTC) Resistance Is Hit, Will Shiba Inu (SHIB) Gain or Lose Zero? Cardano (ADA) in Trouble By U.Today
© Reuters. Crucial Bitcoin (BTC) Resistance Is Hit, Will Shiba Inu (SHIB) Gain or Lose Zero? Cardano (ADA) in Trouble
U.Today – The first cryptocurrency tests the 50-day EMA, an important level that often foreshadows significant market movements. This technical threshold is more than just a line on a chart; it represents the demarcation between bullish hope and bearish reality. Traders and investors are watching with bated breath as BTC attempts to pierce through this resistance level, which could set the stage for a continued rally.
Currently, the market is characterized by unusually low volume, indicating a lack of commitment from both buyers and sellers. This tepid market activity suggests that while the potential for a bullish price move exists, it may lack the necessary conviction to sustain a rally.
Chart by TradingViewMost analysts are casting their eyes toward the expected “BTC ETF effect” — a phenomenon that has been much hyped but has yet to materialize in the form of significant inflows. The anticipation lies in the gradual acceptance of within institutional portfolios, a reevaluation that could channel substantial capital into the cryptocurrency space. This transformative process, however, is not immediate and is more likely to unfold over the coming months.
Bitcoin’s integration into client portfolio construction is not a matter of if but when. Passive flows are anticipated, and the material impact of this is forecast for the second half of the year.
is stressed
Shiba Inu finds itself at a stressful threshold, hovering around the $0.00001 price point. This is a battleground of investor sentiment, representing hope for a bullish breakout.
The $0.00001 level for SHIB is psychologically significant, acting as both a support and resistance in its tumultuous price history. It is a threshold that has been both a launchpad for upward rallies and a ceiling that has capped growth. However, the frequent breaches of this mark have diluted its impact, raising the question of whether it can still influence SHIB’s market behavior.
A closer look at the current SHIB chart reveals a pattern of consolidation, with price action compressing into a narrowing formation that suggests a breakout is imminent. However, whether this breakout will be to the upside or downside remains to be seen.
For growth to occur, SHIB needs to maintain support at the current level and then build sufficient momentum to push through the upper boundaries of its recent price range. A sustained move above $0.00001, supported by increasing volume, could signal a shift in market dynamics and pave the way for further gains.
is in trouble
Cardano (ADA), a blockchain platform known for its strong academic foundations and a rigorous approach to design and development, is currently navigating through choppy waters. The asset recently slipped below the 50-day EMA, a critical indicator used by traders to gauge market momentum. This descent is compounded by the volume hitting a local trough, signaling a worrisome lack of engagement from buyers and sellers alike.
The 50 EMA is a vital benchmark in technical analysis, often acting as a support level in a bullish market or resistance during bearish trends. ADA’s fall below this line paints a bearish picture, implying that the asset may struggle to regain its footing in the short term. Moreover, the diminished volume indicates a market in indecision, waiting on the sidelines for a clearer signal of direction.
This lack of price traction places Cardano at a potential disadvantage. Market movements are typically reinforced by volume; without it, even the most promising resistance breakthroughs or breakdowns become suspect. In ADA’s case, the low volume exacerbates the situation, as it suggests that any move, up or down, lacks the conviction of a significant market consensus.
The implications for ADA’s future are concerning. If the asset fails to attract buyers to push the price back above the 50 EMA, and volume remains suppressed, there is a risk of further decline. Traders and investors might interpret these signs as a loss of faith in the asset’s near-term potential.

The Last Frontier For Cryptocurrency Adoption
While studies reveal institutional investors and wealth managers believe tokenized ETFs will drive mainstream market adoption for cryptocurrency, there looms the theft of bad actors that most often go untraceable.

Barriers to the expansion of tokenization are starting to fall as major investment firms consider launching tokenized ETFs, according to new global research by London-based Nickel Digital Asset Management (Nickel), Europe’s leading digital assets hedge fund manager founded by alumni of Bankers Trust, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan.
Its study with institutional investors (pension funds, insurance asset managers and family offices) and wealth managers at organisations which collectively manage over $14 trillion in assets found almost all (97%) believe the potential launch of tokenized ETFs such as BlackRock’s will be important to the expansion of the sector with nearly one in three (32%) rating the development as very important.
The study also reflected the belief that tokenization will continue to grow, with nearly 70% of respondents believing that fund managers looking to tokenize investment funds and asset classes will increase over the next three years.
Nickel’s research with firms in the US, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates found growing awareness of the benefits of tokenization. Private markets are seen as offering the greatest potential for tokenization, with almost 70% seeing private equity funds as the asset class with the most opportunity, followed by fixed income (55%) and public equities (42%).
Anatoly Crachilov, CEO and Founding Partner at Nickel Digital, said: “Tokenization is quickly moving from theory to real-world adoption as institutional investors grow more comfortable with its benefits and see major players enter the space. When firms like BlackRock step in, it fundamentally shifts the conversation. This development is timely for our multi-manager vehicle as expanding liquidity depth will allow some of our pods to start trading tokenized assets in the coming months.”
To address potential criminal threat, an advanced detection system to identify and trace blockchain funds connected with criminal activity was presented earlier this week at the Annual CyberASAP Demo Day in London.
The system, called SynapTrack, enables faster and more accurate detection of fraudulent activity using blockchains and cryptocurrencies, where traditional anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing systems struggle to keep pace.
Although current fraud detection methods pick up unusual activity, they deliver an extremely high rate (40%) of false positive reports. These require manual checking by compliance professionals, resulting in backlogs in identifying and acting on suspicious activity.
The SynapTrack system is designed to deliver a substantially lower rate of false positives. It has already been tested using real-life data from the notorious 2025 Bybit hack, where criminals stole $1.5bn of digital tokens from a cryptocurrency exchange. SynapTrack traced the hacker with 98% accuracy.
The team behind SynapTrack is keen to hear from exchanges, financial regulators or law enforcement agencies who want to test the prototype in real-world conditions.
SynapTrack uses a validated methodology to score the likelihood of transactions being part of a money laundering scheme. It has a self-improving algorithm that continuously adapts to new tactics – dynamically identifying suspicious patterns in blockchain transactions. It has a universal cross-chain capability, and is designed around how compliance teams work, presenting results in a dashboard. No infrastructure changes are needed for installation.
It is relatively easy to obscure fraudulent or criminal activity by moving funds between blockchains, or dispersing them across many blockchains, in what are known as ‘cross-chain’ transactions. It is these transactions that pose the greatest difficulty for existing anti-money laundering systems.
SynapTrack was developed by University of Birmingham computer scientists Dr Pascal Berrang and PhD student Endong Liu, in collaboration with blockchain developer Nimiq. Dr Berrang’s research is in IT security and privacy on blockchain, artificial intelligence and machine learning. The subject of Endong Liu’s PhD is transaction tracing. Nimiq is supporting with blockchain-specific insights, knowledge of real-world constraints, and implementation.
The team is currently fundraising to ensure regulatory readiness and complete the team with a CEO and software developers.
Dr Berrang said: “The last few years have seen a near-exponential growth in blockchain transactions. While many of these are legitimate, blockchains are attractive to criminals as funds can be moved very quickly to other jurisdictions. Our work with Nimiq and the creation of SynapTrack is addressing this black spot, and will enable more effective regulation, making the whole ecosystem of blockchain safer and more trustworthy.”
