The post SOL Price Prediction: Dead Momentum and a $74 Cliff — How Far This Drop Really Goes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Lawrence Jengar Jul 08, 2026 07:55 Solana just shed 4.28% in a single session to $78.12, with its MACD histogram printing a cold zero and stochastics rolling from elevated levels — the $74.58 support line is the only thing between c… SOL’s Technical Reality Check The tape doesn’t lie.

The post Predixa, a Decentralized Prediction Market from the TMX Ecosystem, Prepares July 2026 Launch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Predixa, a decentralized prediction market developed within the TMX Ecosystem, is preparing to launch in July 2026. According to the project, Predixa has raised more than $5.5 million during its pre-launch funding phase — a period that coincided with a broad downturn in the crypto market, during which Bitcoin fell more than 50% from its October 2025 all-time high of roughly $126,000 to near $58,000. Predixa operates as a permissionless prediction market backed by an automated market maker (AMM). Users can create markets, trade on outcomes, and exit positions at any time. The permissionless model places it in the same category as prediction markets such as Polymarket, with any user able to open a market rather than relying on a central operator to list one. Alongside standard markets, the platform offers two additional formats: “Combo Predictions,” w

The post Vaneck: Saylor’s Strategy Sold $135 Million in Bitcoin Without Tapping Its $1.25 Billion Monetization Program appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Vaneck’s Matthew Sigel says Strategy’s $135M July bitcoin sale left its $1.25B monetization program untouched.

Sigel called Strategy ‘a hedge fund’ trading its own capital stack and bitcoin, saying he pays a low P/E for it.
