Bitcoin’s 100‑week safety net under pressure
The 100‑week simple moving average, a long‑standing technical support line, has held for three weeks, but Bitcoin’s price of $86,777 is now flirting with it, prompting bulls to brace for a possible bounce. MicroStrategy’s shares have already slipped below this “safety net,” signaling that institutional holders may start off‑loading if the trend breaks. Analysts warn that a breach could trigger a cascade of sell‑offs, while a rebound might spark a “trampoline‑like” rally.

Crypto market pullback tests the $3 trillion floor
Overall crypto market capitalisation fell below $3 trillion for the third time this month, as large‑cap assets like Bitcoin and Ether retreated amid shifting institutional sentiment. The sell‑off was most pronounced in tokens with heavy ETF exposure, suggesting a strategic reallocation rather than a retail panic. Asian equity indices showed modest gains, buoyed by expectations of Beijing fiscal stimulus after a series of weak economic prints.

Grayscale’s bullish 2026 outlook anchored in macro pressures
Grayscale’s new “2026 Digital Asset Outlook” argues that soaring public‑sector debt and fiscal imbalances are turning Bitcoin and Ether into attractive inflation hedges. The firm highlights the predictable fixed‑supply schedule of Bitcoin, noting the upcoming mining of the 20 millionth coin as a catalyst for institutional demand. If regulatory clarity continues to improve, Grayscale expects a sustained inflow of capital into digital assets.

HashKey’s Hong Kong debut stalls amid investor caution
HashKey Holdings opened on the Hong Kong exchange at a modest HK$6.34, slipping about 5 % below its IPO price on the first day of trading. Despite commanding roughly three‑quarters of the city’s licensed crypto‑trading market, the firm’s ultra‑low‑fee model has left revenue growth lagging behind operating costs, raising doubts about the scalability of its business. The muted reception underscores lingering skepticism about crypto‑centric business models in traditional capital markets.

EU car‑emissions policy faces a major reset
The European Union is reconsidering its 2035 ban on new combustion‑engine vehicles, a move championed by German politicians but opposed by clean‑energy advocates in Spain and the broader EU leadership. If the ban is softened, it could blunt the momentum of the European EV sector, jeopardising jobs and investment in battery‑manufacturing hubs across the continent. Analysts warn that weakening the policy would send a signal of regulatory uncertainty to global automakers, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape.

Omnicom’s $13.5 billion acquisition of IPG reshapes advertising
The landmark merger of Omnicom and Interpublic Group creates the largest advertising holding company in history, consolidating a significant share of global media spend under one roof. Industry insiders argue the deal will amplify bargaining power with tech platforms and streamline AI‑driven ad‑tech investments, but it also raises antitrust concerns in several jurisdictions. The transaction highlights a broader trend of mega‑mergers as agencies scramble to adapt to a data‑centric, programmatic advertising ecosystem.

AWS outage exposes DNS‑locking fragility in cloud core services
A 15‑hour outage in AWS’s largest region traced back to a race condition in the DNS Enactor service, which uses Route 53 for optimistic locking. The lock contention caused stale DNS records for DynamoDB, cascading failures across EC2, Load Balancers, and downstream customer applications. The incident underscores the systemic risk inherent in highly interdependent cloud infrastructure and the need for more robust on‑call coordination.

TornadoVM 2.0 automates GPU acceleration for Java‑based LLMs
The TornadoVM project released version 2.0, enabling Java programs to run transparently on multi‑core CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs without code changes. This automatic acceleration is especially relevant for teams building large language model (LLM) pipelines on the JVM, cutting down on bespoke hardware‑specific development. Early adopters report up to a 3× performance boost on inference workloads.

Zencoder’s Zenflow adds AI orchestration to curb code failures
Zencoder introduced Zenflow, an AI‑orchestration layer that structures LLM‑generated code through a Plan‑Implement‑Test‑Review workflow, reducing production bugs by an average of 20 %. By anchoring agents to formal specifications and enabling multi‑model verification, Zenflow transforms “prompt roulette” into a repeatable engineering process. The tool now supports major providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google Gemini.
