  • US jobless claims dropped to 189,000 last week — beating the 196,000 forecast and coming in below the prior week's revised 195,000. The labor market stays resilient ahead of Friday's big jobs report.

    The 4-week moving average eased to 194,750, but continuing claims rose 23,000 to 1.718 million, and the insured unemployment rate held at 1.1%.

    Traders took it in stride: Dow futures rose about 0.6% and S&P 500 futures edged up 0.1%, while Nasdaq 100 futures slipped 0.8% as chip stocks stay under pressure.

  • Oil Heads for Its Worst Week Since April 2020 as Gold Holds Near $4,124

One market is pricing in peace; the other is pricing in a weaker dollar and lower yields. Both moves trace back to the same event: the US midterm elections. Brent crude, the global...

  • 📚 LEARN: How do memecoins work?

    Memecoins are cryptocurrencies inspired by internet memes and jokes — Dogecoin started it all in 2013. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, most memecoins have no built-in utility: their value comes from community hype, social media buzz, and viral moments.

    When attention spikes, prices can surge fast — and when the hype fades, they can fall just as quickly. That is why memecoins are among the most volatile corners of crypto.

    Key things to know:
    • Community drives the value
    • Hype moves the price
    • High risk, high volatility — never invest more than you can afford to lose

    This is education, not financial advice.

  • Crypto Exchange Volumes Fell 27.5% in Q3 as Derivatives Took 83% of Trading
    Total crypto exchange trading volume fell for a third straight quarter to $12.0 trillion in Q3 2026, down 27.5% from Q2 and less than half of Q4 2025's $26.4 trillion, according to TokenInsight's Q3 2026 Crypto Exchange Report, published this week.

  • 🚨 BREAKING: Bernstein just slashed price targets on seven bitcoin miners by 35% to 54%.

    The trigger: Democrat Gina Hinojosa's surprise win in the Texas governor's race — she wants to pause new data-center approvals until rules protect residents from higher power and water costs. More than half of the power capacity held or planned by the miners Bernstein covers sits in Texas, and financing conditions have tightened.

    The cuts: IREN $100 → $55, CleanSpark $24 → $11, Riot $35 → $18, TeraWulf $36 → $20, Core Scientific $32 → $19, MARA $17 → $10, Cipher Mining $23 → $15.

  • 🚨 BREAKING: The Nasdaq plunged 3.1% on Thursday as chip stocks crashed, wiping out the post-midterm rally glow in a single morning.

    Arm Holdings led the slide, plunging nearly 11% despite beating quarterly estimates — royalty revenue missed expectations. Qualcomm fell about 9.6% after its results, and AI chip names including Sandisk, Astera Labs, Seagate, Lumentum, AMD and Western Digital all dropped 10% or more.

    The S&P 500 fell 1.7% and the Dow dropped 0.7%, a day after the Dow's 1,569-point surge — its fifth-largest one-day gain ever. Bitcoin slid to around $78,000 while oil rebounded 2% to ~$90 a barrel.
