Index

A crypto Index provides a way for investors to gain diversified exposure to a specific basket of digital assets through a single tokenized product. These indices often track specific sectors, such as DeFi, DePIN, or RWA, and are automatically rebalanced via smart contracts. In 2026, AI-managed thematic indices have become the gold standard for passive investing, allowing users to track the "blue chips" of the Web3 economy without manual portfolio management. This tag covers index methodology, rebalancing frequency, and the benefits of diversified crypto baskets.

Depressed near 0.5820 amid dovish RBNZ

Depressed near 0.5820 amid dovish RBNZ

The post Depressed near 0.5820 amid dovish RBNZ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. NZD/USD remains depressed on the back of the RBNZ’s dovish rate cut on Wednesday. Reduced bets for a jumbo Fed rate cut underpin the USD and further weigh on the pair. The technical setup favors bears and backs the case for a further depreciating move. The NZD/USD pair touches a fresh low since April 14, around the 0.5815 region, during the Asian session on Thursday and looks to extend the previous day’s dovish Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) inspired slump. In fact, the RBNZ stated that if medium-term inflation pressures continue to ease in line with the projection, the Committee expects to lower the interest rates further. This, along with a cautious market mood, continues to undermine the risk-sensitive Kiwi. The US Dollar (USD), on the other hand, holds steady near its highest level in more than one week amid reduced bets for a more aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve (Fed) and further weighs on the NZD/USD pair. From a technical perspective, the overnight breakdown and a close below the very important 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) – for the first time since mid-May – was seen as a key trigger for bearish traders. Adding to this, negative oscillators on the daily chart suggest that the path of least resistance for the NZD/USD pair is to the downside. That said, the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved on the verge of breaking into the oversold zone and warrants caution. Hence, it will be prudent to wait for some near-term consolidation or a modest bounce before positioning for the next leg of a directional move. However, any attempted recovery beyond the 0.5835 region, or the 200-day SMA, could be seen as a selling opportunity and runs the risk of fizzling out rather quickly near the 0.5880-0.5885 area.…

AUD/JPY slips near 94.50 as inflation expectations ease in Australia

AUD/JPY slips near 94.50 as inflation expectations ease in Australia

The post AUD/JPY slips near 94.50 as inflation expectations ease in Australia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AUD/JPY depreciates as Australia’s Consumer Inflation Expectations rose 3.9% in August, down from 4.7% previously. Australia’s S&P Global Manufacturing PMI rose to 52.9, while Services PMI climbed to 55.1 in August. The Japanese Yen faces challenges amid persistent uncertainty over the BoJ’s policy outlook. AUD/JPY continues its losing streak for the third successive session, trading around 94.60 during the Asian hours on Thursday. The currency cross depreciates as the Australian Dollar (AUD) loses ground, as Consumer Inflation Expectations rose 3.9% in August, coming in below the previous increase of 4.7%. The Australian Dollar failed to draw any support from the improved preliminary data of S&P Global Australia’s Purchasing Managers Index (PMI). Australia’s S&P Global Manufacturing PMI came in at 52.9 in August, against 51.3 prior. Meanwhile, Services PMI rose to 55.1 from the previous reading of 54.1. The Composite PMI improved to 54.9 from 53.8 previously. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is expected to remain cautious after last week’s rate cut.

Meanwhile, Services PMI fell to 52.7 from July’s five-month high of 53.6, though it marked the fifth consecutive month of expansion in the services sector. The downside of the AUD/JPY cross could be restrained as the Japanese Yen (JPY) faces challenges amid prevailing uncertainty over the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) policy outlook. BoJ Governor Kazuo Ueda has remained cautious, emphasizing that “underlying inflation” is yet to firmly reach the 2% target. However, domestic inflation stays elevated and wages continue to lag behind price growth, raising the likelihood of the BoJ…

EUR/GBP flat lines near 0.8650 as traders await Eurozone/UK PMI data

EUR/GBP flat lines near 0.8650 as traders await Eurozone/UK PMI data

The post EUR/GBP flat lines near 0.8650 as traders await Eurozone/UK PMI data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/GBP trades flat around 0.8655 in Thursday’s early European session.  Hotter-than-expected UK July inflation data diminishes the chance of a further rate cut by the BoE this year. ECB’s Lagarde said she saw slower growth with trade uncertainty lingering.  The EUR/GBP cross trades on a flat note around 0.8655 during the early European session on Thursday. Traders prefer to wait on the sidelines ahead of the preliminary reading of the HCOB Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for August from the Eurozone and Germany, which are due later on Thursday. Also, flash UK S&P Global PMI data will be published.  UK inflation rose again in July to a higher-than-expected 3.8% amid higher food prices and travel costs, prompting the expectation that the Bank of England (BoE) will delay further interest rate cuts. This, in turn, could underpin the Pound Sterling (GBP) and create a headwind for the cross.  The BoE cut the interest rates from 4.25% to 4% earlier this month as the UK central bank resumed what it describes as a “gradual and careful” approach to monetary easing. A quarter-point cut is not fully priced in until March 2026. Earlier this month, the next rate reduction was viewed as highly likely before the end of 2025, per Reuters.  On the Euro front, the European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde said on Thursday that the Eurozone economy is likely to see slower growth this quarter. Lagarde added that recent trade deals have alleviated but not eliminated due to uncertainty from the unpredictable policy environment. ECB policymakers are anticipated to leave the deposit rate at 2.0% when they meet in September after their summer break, extending a pause that began last month following a yearlong campaign of cuts. The HCOB PMI reports released on Thursday could offer some hints about the interest rate path in…

Australia’s S&P Global Manufacturing PMI rose to 52.9, while Services PMI climbed to 55.1 in August.

Gold is pressured by hawkish Fed, strong USD, and peace deal optimism

Gold is pressured by hawkish Fed, strong USD, and peace deal optimism

The post Gold is pressured by hawkish Fed, strong USD, and peace deal optimism appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gold drifts lower on Thursday as hawkish FOMC Minutes continue to underpin the USD. Hopes for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal further exerted pressure on the XAU/USD pair. The global PMIs could drive the commodity ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s speech on Friday. Gold (XAU/USD) struggles to capitalize on the previous day’s goodish rebound from a three-week low and attracts fresh sellers during the Asian session on Thursday. Minutes from the late July FOMC policy meeting released on Wednesday read on the hawkish side, with participants more worried about inflation than the labour market. This further tempers bets for a jumbo interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve (Fed) in September, which, in turn, is seen underpinning the US Dollar (USD) and exerting downward pressure on the non-yielding yellow metal. Furthermore, the optimism over a possible agreement to end the protracted Russia-Ukraine conflict turns out to be another factor denting demand for the safe-haven Gold. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump’s calls on Fed Governor Lisa Cook to resign after mortgage fraud allegations raised concerns about the central bank’s independence. This might hold back the USD bulls from placing aggressive bets and support the bullion. Traders now look to the flash global PMIs for some impetus ahead of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Daily Digest Market Movers: Gold is pressured by hawkish Fed-inspired USD uptick Minutes of the July 30-31 FOMC policy meeting released on Wednesday showed that almost all officials supported keeping rates unchanged, and a majority of participants judged the upside risk to inflation. Furthermore, policymakers noted rising threats to the economy that would warrant monitoring, though they largely agreed that their current stance was the appropriate way to go. This comes amid signs of a gain of momentum in price pressures and continues to…

Bitcoin slips as markets brace for Powell’s Jackson Hole Speech – Is the bull pause over?

The post Bitcoin slips as markets brace for Powell’s Jackson Hole Speech – Is the bull pause over? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Markets are on edge. Bitcoin briefly knifed below $113K intraday before bouncing, as traders hedge into Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s high-stakes Jackson Hole address (Aug 21–23). With dollar strength creeping back and leveraged longs getting rinsed, the question is simple: is this a healthy bull-market pause, or the start of a deeper Bitcoin correction driven by crypto market volatility? Bitcoin dropped below $113,000, source: Bitcoin Liquid Index The Dip explained: Why Bitcoin fell below $113K Profit-taking after recent highs After a powerful summer run toward new highs, fast money trimmed risk ahead of a pivotal macro catalyst (Powell). Futures data show today’s low near $112.8K before stabilizing, classic “sell the rumor” behavior into event risk. $500M+ liquidations across derivatives In the last 24 hours, >$500 million in crypto longs were liquidated as the drawdown accelerated-evidence that over-leveraged positioning amplified the move. (Source: CoinGlass, reported by Unchained.) Traders hedging ahead of Fed news The Jackson Hole symposium is a macro bellwether; Powell’s tone on growth and policy can reset risk appetite across assets, so crypto desks lightened up and added hedges into the event. Powell at Jackson Hole: Why it matters for crypto Market expectations of rate cuts or a dovish pivot Recent Fed coverage highlights growing market hopes for cuts, especially around the theme of Fed rate cuts Bitcoin correlation-but the speech is expected to be the defining macro event of the summer. A more hawkish-than-hoped message could pressure risk assets; a dovish lean could re-ignite momentum. Potential impact on risk assets like Bitcoin A firmer U.S. dollar into the event is a headwind for BTC in the short run; crypto rallies tend to breathe easier when the dollar softens. Today, a major dollar index ticked higher ahead of Powell. Historical Jackson Hole precedents and crypto moves While 1:1 causality…

USD/CHF edges higher to near 0.8050 ahead of Swiss Trade Balance data, US PMIs

USD/CHF edges higher to near 0.8050 ahead of Swiss Trade Balance data, US PMIs

The post USD/CHF edges higher to near 0.8050 ahead of Swiss Trade Balance data, US PMIs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CHF appreciates as the US Dollar gains ground after the release of the FOMC Meeting Minutes. The FOMC Meeting Minutes showed that most members adopted a cautious stance on policy decisions. The newly imposed 39% US tariff on Swiss imports is expected to hit Switzerland’s export-driven economy. USD/CHF appreciates after registering nearly 0.5% losses in the previous session, trading around 0.8050 during the Asian hours on Thursday. The pair appreciates as the US Dollar (USD) receives support after the release of the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) Minutes for the July 29-30 meeting on Wednesday. Swiss Trade Balance data will be eyed later in the day. Focus will be shifted to the preliminary S&P Global US Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data due later in the North American session. The Fed minutes indicated that most Federal Reserve (Fed) officials emphasized that inflation risks outweighed labor market concerns during last month’s meeting, as tariffs deepened divisions among policymakers. Most policymakers considered it appropriate to maintain the benchmark interest rate in the 4.25%–4.50% range.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech will be eyed at the Jackson Hole Symposium in Wyoming on Friday, which may provide further impetus for the September policy decision. Swiss inflation remained below the Swiss National Bank’s (SNB) 2% target, bolstering expectations for further rate cuts, potentially back into negative territory. Additionally, the newly imposed 39% US duty on Swiss imports is set to weigh heavily on Switzerland’s export-driven economy and could increase pressure on the Swiss National Bank (SNB) to further ease policy.
