According to a report by Jinse Finance, Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager and Head of Business Cycle Indicators at The Conference Board, stated that the US Leading Economic Index declined again in September, marking the second consecutive month of decline. The overall contraction in the index was mainly driven by weakened expectations from consumers and businesses. The main components dragging down the index included consumer expectations, the ISM New Orders Index, new orders for manufactured consumer goods and raw materials, initial jobless claims, and the yield curve. However, some components provided positive contributions, such as stock prices, the Leading Credit Index, and new orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft. The indicator trend suggests that US economic activity will slow down from the end of 2025 to early 2026. Overall, economic growth remains fragile and uneven, as businesses face the dual challenges of tariff policy adjustments and weakening consumer momentum. US GDP is projected to grow by 1.8% in 2025, and in 2026...

Odaily Planet Daily news: Standard Chartered Bank stated in a report on Tuesday that it has halved its Bitcoin price forecast for the end of 2025 to $100,000, down from the previous target of $200,000. At the same time, the bank has postponed its long-term target of $500,000 to 2030, originally set for 2028. The bank's analyst Geoffrey Kendrick pointed out that the downgrade is due to a reassessment of demand expectations, including the end of aggressive corporate purchases by entities such as MicroStrategy, as well as institutional adoption through ETFs being slower than expected. Kendrick said that future Bitcoin price increases will be "driven solely by ETF purchases." Currently, Bitcoin's quarterly ETF inflows have dropped to 50,000 BTC, the lowest since the launch of US spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is currently holding around the key support range of $0.14, with its price continuing to move within the descending channel formed since being rejected at $0.21. The overall structure is showing lower highs and lower lows, with short-term momentum still weak. Nevertheless, as long as the $0.136-$0.140 bottom range remains solid, there is still a chance for a short-term rebound toward the $0.16 area. From a technical perspective, the $0.145-$0.150 range remains a strong resistance zone in the near term. If bulls fail to hold above this level, any rebound is unlikely to be sustained. The $0.16-$0.18 range is an even stronger supply zone, having historically acted as the upper limit for rebounds. Currently, DOGE’s trading volume remains weak, and the rebound lacks confirmation from genuine buying interest, meaning each price surge is easily suppressed by bears. If the daily close can successfully hold above $0.150, it would be the first sign of bears losing control and could open the way for a move toward $0.16-$0.18. Conversely, if $0.136 is broken, the downside target will shift back to $0.12 and could potentially reach the yearly low zone of $0.10-$0.08.

At the recent Bitcoin MENA conference, Michael Saylor made it clear that Strategy (MSTR) will not issue perpetual preferred stock (“digital credit”) in Japan within the next 12 months, stating that the “12-month head start” will be left to Japanese listed company Metaplanet. This move has drawn more attention to Metaplanet’s strategy in the Japanese perpetual preferred stock market, which has long been inactive, with only five companies in all of Japan currently qualified to trade perpetual preferred stock. Metaplanet CEO Simon Groverich pointed out that the company plans to enter this market with two new products, “Mercury” and “Mars,” becoming the sixth and seventh companies in Japan to issue perpetual preferred stock. Among them, Mercury is positioned as the Japanese version of Strategy STRK, with an annualized yield of 4.9%, denominated in yen and convertible, which is much higher than the generally less than 0.5% yield of Japanese bank deposits and money market funds. Mercury is currently in the pre-IPO stage, with the goal of listing in early 2026. The second product, Mars, models Strategy’s short-term high-yield credit product STRC, targeting investors seeking short-term returns.

Cardano (ADA) price continues to fluctuate within the $0.40 to $0.45 range, with the market watching closely to see if the key support at $0.38 can hold. Currently, ADA is trading around $0.43, just below the short-term resistance at $0.45. If it fails to break out with strong volume above the $0.45-$0.47 zone, the price structure may continue to show weakness and consolidation through late December. On a higher time frame, ADA has declined from its 2025 high of $1.32, remaining in a long-term downtrend overall. Although the RSI has rebounded from oversold territory, providing conditions for a short-term bounce, it has not disrupted the broader bearish structure. On the daily chart, major resistance is concentrated at $0.446-$0.47 (including the 200-day moving average), while key support lies between $0.423 and $0.40. A break below this support could see the range extend down to $0.33-$0.35.

A recent study by Paradigm pointed out that due to smart contract events being counted multiple times, the trading volume of the prediction market platform Polymarket may be overstated by about 100% on third-party dashboards. After the research was published, it quickly sparked heated discussions among data teams, analytics firms, and competitors, also exposing the structural challenges prediction markets face in measuring trading volume. According to the analysis by Paradigm research partner Storm Slivkoff, Polymarket's smart contracts generate an OrderFilled event of the same amount for both the maker and the taker in each transaction. Most dashboards do not distinguish between the two sides when aggregating these events, resulting in each trade being counted twice. For example, a $4.13 YES trade would be recorded as $8.26 in trading volume on the dashboard.
