    Solana (SOL) To Reach $200 in November if This Continues, Key Reason Why Shiba Inu (SHIB) is Not in Bull Market, Bitcoin (BTC) All-Time High Is Almost In, But What’s Next?

    The psychological $200 mark, as well as $163 and $180, are important price levels for traders to keep an eye on. SOL’s previous support level of $163 may act as a point of retreat in the event that the price experiences any brief retracements. Given the historical resistance, at this level, SOL would need to keep momentum above $180 in order to make a consistent approach toward $200. At $200, SOL may reach more than a temporary high if it can continue to rise without experiencing significant profit-taking. It will take time for the asset to consolidate gains and establish a strong support base close to its highs, so this milestone will not be reached in a few days. On the chart, Solana’s bullish trajectory is supported by its strong position above the 50 and 100 EMAs. In the long run, we might even see targets above $200 if the asset keeps gaining ground at higher levels, particularly if Bitcoin and other significant assets keep rising.Other new meme coins, in contrast, have been attracting both experienced and novice investors seeking rapid returns by riding waves of volatility and speculative hype. These more recent tokens frequently function more like crypto casinos, drawing transient users looking to profit from quick price fluctuations. Given that it no longer offers the same explosive growth potential as in its earlier years, this environment has made SHIB seem rather unappealing. Shiba Inu’s recent price chart shows that the asset is having trouble moving higher and seems to be stuck in a narrow range.Without new buying interest, SHIB lacks the strength to break through the 200-day moving average, which is represented by the black line on the chart. Should SHIB fail to draw in new investors, it is likely to stay range-bound or even lose ground, as existing holders gradually reduce their holdings. In conclusion, the market performance of Shiba Inu is being hindered by its incapacity to draw in new investors. Although it used to be the market leader in meme coins, it is currently up against fierce competition from more recent erratic coins that cater to a market that favors rapid speculative gains. Bitcoin has broken a long-term resistance line, as can be seen on the chart, which may mark the end of a months-long consolidation phase. However, such quick, sharp movements frequently draw speculative trading, raising the possibility of abrupt reversals as traders lock in profits. Bitcoin’s ascent to new all-time highs has always been erratic. As the market processes the quick gains, each breakout is usually followed by a consolidation or slight retracement. If Bitcoin runs into psychological resistance around or close to the previous high, this rally might follow a similar pattern. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index shows that Bitcoin is getting close to overbought territory, which frequently comes before a slowdown in momentum. If a retrace takes place, Bitcoin may test new levels of support in the upcoming weeks.The recent moving averages suggest that the short-term supports at $67,000 and $64,500 may be levels to keep a close eye on. These could act as halts for any decline prior to a possible uptrend continuation.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Fed governor divesting stock bought by spouse in violation of trading rules

    (Reuters) – Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler, the newest of the U.S. central bank’s seven board members, has run afoul of new ethics rules governing how officials and their families can trade and invest after her spouse bought stock in Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and another company without her knowledge this summer. In a government filing dated Oct. 24, Kugler reported the planned divestiture of Apple and Cava Group shares purchased by her spouse. Fed ethics rules sharply limit how the central bank’s officials and senior staff can invest their personal funds and require trading to be pre-cleared by central bank ethics officials. Those rules also cover spouses and minor children of top Fed staff. The purchases “were carried out by my spouse, without my knowledge, and I affirm that my spouse did not intend to violate any rules,” Kugler said in the financial disclosure form. “Upon learning about the purchases, I immediately notified ethics officials, and at their direction, I initiated divestiture of these assets as soon as possible under (Federal Open Market Committee) ethics policies.”The four sets of stock purchases happened over the summer, and each purchase amount ranged between $1,001 and $15,000. In a statement, a Fed spokesperson said “we can confirm that (Kugler) did alert the ethics office and acted at their direction, and in accordance with our policies.”The current Fed ethics rules were put in place in early 2022 after a series of controversies over the personal investing activities of some policymakers.The first involved the investing activities of the heads of the Fed’s regional banks in Boston and Dallas, and both left their posts in the fall of 2021. In a report early this year, the Fed’s Office of Inspector General, its in-house watchdog, rapped the two regional Fed bank chiefs for creating the appearance of a conflict of interest. Meanwhile, Fed Chair Jerome Powell and former Vice Chair Richard Clarida were cleared of wrongdoing by the watchdog. Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic has also faced trouble over his personal investing. In September, the Fed watchdog said Bostic had broken rules then in place and had created the appearance that he acted on confidential information and the appearance of a conflict of interest. Bostic had traded in periods that were off limits, but the watchdog also found no evidence he had used confidential Fed information to govern his investing. The finding on Bostic is widely believed to be the final report on Fed officials’ trading. The process of tightening up loose ends around the new ethics system and ensuring compliance is ongoing. At the start of this month, the OIG flagged a range of work the central bank is still engaged in, including ways to ensure the accuracy of disclosures. More
