The shift from skepticism to trust When I first encountered cloud mining last winter, I was—like many others—full of skepticism. “Can this really generate stable returns?” That question made me hesitate for a long time. After two months of in-depth research, I ultimately chose the FTmining platform. As a technical professional, I place great importance on a platform’s technical capabilities and operational stability. After a comprehensive evaluation, I was satisfied with…

Fidelity believes that while Bitcoin’s strong August rally and other factors offer reasons for optimism, none confirm that the bear market has ended. Bitcoin, once again, climbed above $80,000 after surging by 4.3% on Friday. The recent strength comes as a welcome change, as the crypto market spent much of the third quarter under pressure before a sharp rally in late August changed the tone. BTC, for one, recorded its strongest monthly gain since November 2024, which led some investors to believe the bear market may have ended. But according to Fidelity, there is no guarantee that’s the case yet.…

Ethereum’s dominance is above 11% after the latest leg up. The largest altcoin is on the move again alongside the rest of the market, surging by over 4% daily to $2,150 as of press time. It even tapped $2,530 earlier today before it was stopped. Its market cap has risen to well over $300 billion, but this has provided some market participants with a proper exit opportunity. Lookonchain has repeatedly reported on a major whale who has been disposing of their ETH tokens for days. The selling spree began at the start of the month, when the unknown entity received…

Tony Kim Sep 04, 2026 07:55 ATOM is trading at $1.52 with momentum coiled near a critical resistance cluster between $1.54–$1.55; a clean break above puts $1.61 in play within 48–72 hours, but a rejection here risks flushing … Market Context: Why ATOM is Moving Now Cosmos isn’t making headlines right now — and that’s precisely what makes this setup interesting. A quiet 2% grind on September 4th, with no major catalyst screaming at you, tells you this move is positioning-driven, not narrative-driven. That matters. When retail chases headlines, smart money is usually already there. When there are no headlines,…
