Solana (SOL) is presently priced around $186, after a rather turbulent display in the past week. While the leading altcoin notably showed a significantly volatile price action, bearish sentiments reigned supreme, resulting in a net 4.37% loss. Interestingly, popular expert Ali Martinez has highlighted a critical price level for Solana investors’ attention amid the current market uncertainty. Related Reading: Bitwise CIO Calls Solana An ‘Explosive’ Two-Way Bet: Here’s Why Bitwise Chief Investment Office To Fly Or Crash? Solana Future Rests On Key Price Point In a recent X post, Martinez dives into the present Solana market structure, highlighting several potential developments tied to the $180 price level. Notably, the daily chart reveals that Solana has been strictly trading in an ascending channel since May 2025, with zero deviations recorded. Importantly, the altcoin has been moving near the lower boundary of this channel, currently around $180, which acts as a pivotal support. This price point also aligns with the 200-day simple moving average, thereby reinforcing its validity. Furthermore, on-chain data from the leading analytics platform Glassnode shows that 24.5 million SOL were purchased at this level, reflecting a high market demand that will likely prevent further price incursion upon a retest. Looking at Martinez’s analysis, a consistent price hold above $180 retains the validity of the ascending channel and presents a setup for a potential price gain to $230, with further price targets at $290. However, if an overwhelming bearish pressure pushes Solana below $180, investors can expect a further decline to around $115, while a potential crash to $50 is also feasible. Therefore, Solana’s behavior at $180 presents a possible 56% gain or 72% loss from current market prices.

Despite the daily rebound, its monthly performance remains negative, with a 14.27% decline highlighting the broader weakness seen in the last week. In a notable development, Bitwise launched the first-ever Solana Spot ETF on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) this week, marking a major milestone for altcoins. The achievement was quickly followed by Grayscale, which introduced its own Grayscale Solana Trust, further signaling growing institutional interest in Solana. This week’s events represent a significant step toward broadening institutional access to Solana and other altcoins, paving the way for deeper market participation beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to SoSoValue data, the two newly launched ETFs have already attracted strong demand, recording $154.73 million in net inflows and $439.97 million in net assets within the first three trading days. Meanwhile, several other Solana-linked ETFs are reportedly in the pipeline, including the Canary Solana ETF, VanEck Solana Trust, and CoinShares Solana ETF, all currently awaiting SEC approval.

According to company releases and club statements, House of Doge and Brag House Holdings, Inc. have taken a major step into Italian football by becoming the largest equity holder in US Triestina Calcio 1918. Related Reading: Dogecoin Down 20% – But Some Think This Is When The Real Gains Start The move was first made public on October 20, 2025, when both firms announced the equity position and pledged immediate capital support for the club. Triestina, which was founded in 1918 and currently competes in Serie C, will carry Dogecoin branding on its match kits and around its stadium for the remainder of the 2025/26 season and all of the 2026/27 campaign. Kit And Stadium Branding Confirmed Based on reports released on October 30, 2025, Dogecoin will appear as the primary sponsor on the front of Triestina’s official match shirts. House of Doge branding is set for secondary placements, such as sleeves and shorts. LED boards inside the ground, big-screen videos and press backdrops will also display the Dogecoin motif during games and media events. These activations are part of a wider plan that includes testing Dogecoin as a payment option for tickets, merchandise and concessions. What The Announcements Leave Out The deal’s exact financial terms were not disclosed. No price tag or ownership percentage was published by either side. Reports have disclosed that a board reconstitution and the appointment of a new president are planned, but names and dates have not been shared. Push For Real-World Use Of Dogecoin House of Doge framed the investment as a chance to push Dogecoin beyond online chatter and into everyday use at a sports venue. The group said the club will act as a platform for broader community initiatives and commercial experiments with crypto payments. Fans could be given new ways to pay and buy, if pilot projects roll out as described. There is, however, a question about how smoothly such systems will be adopted in a lower-division club environment and what regulatory checks will be required in Italy. Marco Margiotta, CEO of House of Doge, said placing the Dogecoin logo front-and-center on the club’s jersey means it will show up in every match photo and TV shot. He said frequent exposure will make people recognize the brand, and that recognition can lead to practical uses and wider global acceptance. Related Reading: Bitcoin Drop Shaves $5 Billion From Satoshi Nakamoto’s Untouched Fortune Local Reaction And Broader Implications Some local journalists praised the capital boost, noting that lower-division clubs often face tight budgets. Others warned that visibility for a cryptocurrency brand does not guarantee long-term financial stability. Market observers will be watching whether the partnership drives measurable increases in matchday revenue or merchandise sales. Community groups, who are central to the club’s identity in Trieste, have been cited as needing reassurance that traditions will be respected. DOGE Price Update Meanwhile, after sliding about 7% in the past 24 hours, DOGE is trading at $0.18. The coin is up 11% so far this year, but that still leaves it roughly 70% below its 2021 peak of $0.73. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

The recent Ethereum price rejection that pushed it back below the $4,000 level has created a concerning trend that could send the price spiraling. The major point of interest lies at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, where the last rejection occurred. Given this, it is likely that the Ethereum price could see more declines in the coming days, although there is still the possibility of the bulls taking over and invalidating the entire bearish setup. Ethereum Price Is Showing A Lot Of Weakness The rejection from the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level marked the start of the decline from the $4,200 level during the last recovery. This rejection resulted in the formation of a lower high on the 4-hour timeframe, and historically, such lower high formations mean that there is more selling pressure piling up for the digital asset. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Breakdown Is Nothing To Worry About? This Long Term Structure Points Above $1 As the bullish momentum looks to be fading, it puts the Ethereum price in a precarious position. Crypto analyst The Alchemist Trader explains that the rejection had come with increased bearish volume as investors offloaded their holdings on the market, putting bears in charge once again. Following this development, the Ethereum price has continued to struggle around $3,900, where the next local support lies. The cryptocurrency has maintained a tentative hold at best on this local support, suggesting that the bulls could indeed be losing ground at this level. If this corrective phase continues, then the Ethereum price decline is far from over. The current local weakness has put a strain on the support, and if $3,900 fails completely, the next major support lies below $3,400, more specifically at $3,385. This will serve as the next stronghold for the bulls to make their move. “From a structural perspective, Ethereum’s inability to sustain momentum signals growing bearish pressure across lower timeframes,” the crypto analyst explained. The Case For ETH Bulls Despite the mounting bearish pressure, there is still the possibility that the Ethereum price could break out of this downtrend. Just like with the bearish case, the key lies at the $3,900 support and how well it holds. Related Reading: Wave 3 Target Suggests That The XRP Price Is Headed For $10 In the case that bulls are able to reclaim and hold this support with momentum, then it could invalidate the bearish setup that has emerged. In this case, the crypto analyst believes that the Ethereum price could resume its uptrend above the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange MEXC found itself in the midst of controversy on Friday as users on social media site X (formerly Twitter) called for immediate withdrawals amid speculation about the exchange’s potential bankruptcy. What Happened At MEXC? Market analyst J.A. Maartun was among the first to draw attention to the situation, sharing a chart on social media that indicated a significant spike in withdrawal transactions around midday. Researcher Hanzo also shed light on the unfolding drama, revealing the plight of a user known as “The White Whale.” This individual claimed that his account was suspended despite engaging in trading without the use of bots or APIs, leaving him unable to access his funds, which he estimated at between $3 million and $5 million. The White Whale alleged that customer support was unresponsive and that when he engaged with Cecilia Hsueh, MEXC’s new Chief Strategy Officer, he was pressured to admit to breaking the rules to have his funds released, a claim he firmly denied. Related Reading: Coinbase, Strategy Mark Major Profit Surges In Q3: Unveiling The Numbers Cecilia later responded that their conversation should have remained private and accused The White Whale of misrepresenting the facts. MEXC subsequently announced its intention to take legal action against him for alleged misinformation. However, as the situation escalated, a wave of support emerged from the cryptocurrency community, including notable figures like ZachXBT, as many users reported similar issues with MEXC. This collective response led to warnings on social media urging users to withdraw their funds immediately, fueling the growing unrest. CSO Issues Apology In a rapid development, Cecilia issued an apology and confirmed that The White Whale’s withdrawal had been processed. She stated: We fucked up. We apologize to @TheWhiteWhaleV2, and his money is already released. He can claim it at any time. I messed up in communicating with him. I got emotional, and I shouldn’t have. Since I joined MEXC 2 months ago I’ve been fighting behind the scenes to get MEXC to change. We grew really fast—a few years ago, we were a very small exchange, but given our current scale, our risk, operations, and PR teams have not kept up. She noted that MEXC has experienced rapid growth, but its operational and public relations teams had struggled to keep pace. “We’re going to change that,” she stated, emphasizing that leadership has begun to recognize the need for improvement in transparency and operations. Related Reading: dYdX Eyes US Market Entry: Decentralized Crypto Exchange Plans Year-End Debut, Reuters In response to the swirling rumors of bankruptcy, MEXC took to social media to clarify its financial status.
