Key Facts

1Cardano (ADA) has been listed on Bitstamp Singapore.

The cryptocurrency market is entering a period of heightened volatility as Deribit prepares for the expiry of $8.4 billion in open interest. While Cardano (ADA) received a boost from its new listing on Bitstamp Singapore, other major digital assets are facing significant technical headwinds. Dogecoin (DOGE) has officially confirmed a "Death Cross" on its weekly chart, signaling potential long-term bearish momentum for the meme-based coin. Additionally, veteran trader Peter Brandt has voiced skepticism regarding Bitcoin's ability to reach the ambitious $150,000 price target. These converging factors, ranging from institutional derivatives expirations to technical breakdowns, suggest a cautious outlook for the broader market. Investors remain focused on how these liquidity events will impact price stability across major trading pairs.
