The Strike price surged 158% in the last 24 hours to trade at $19.7 as of 2.30 a.m. EST on trading volume that skyrocketed 77,152% to $2.01 billion. Strike, or Strike Finance as it is also called, saw its price skyrocket yesterday after trading sideways since the beginning of the year. In fact, the project has seen very little activity since November 2024, when it surged past $10. Before that, it fluctuated between $4.8 and $7 for the better part of the year. The price surge took STRK from $6.1121 to $23.77 before seeing a rejection, which caused it to drop back down to its current value. The increase seemingly came with no warning, and it caused the coin to start trading against the market, as Bitcoin’s further descent led many altcoins to drop alongside the world’s oldest cryptocurrency. However, STRK decoupled from the rest of them, and Bitcoin itself, skyrocketing upwards, instead. Strike Price Prediction So, while the token did blow up in the last 24 hours, traders...

The TORN price surged over 418% in the last 24 hours after a federal court ruled yesterday that US sanctions against Tornado Cash must be abandoned.  TORN managed to break above $40 after the ruling, but has since pared gains to trade at $15.56 as of 2:39 a.m. EST, still up 337% from a day earlier. Along with the surge in price, the altcoin’s trading volumes also underwent a parabolic increase of 15,683%.

With the company cementing its status as a top Wall Street investment, many have pondered if Meta (META) can continue this year’s 50% surge and translate it into similar gains entering 2025. Although the company is facing a plethora of questions, it is still set up to be a big winner when the calendar turns.

Moreover, the company had just been slapped with an $840 million fine from the European Union (EU) regarding its competitive practices.

MicroStrategy (MSTR) shares soared to their highest level since March on Oct. 8, and Bernstein estimates there’s still another 51% upside potential. Despite Bitcoin’s recent dip, MicroStrategy’s stock has defied the trend, outperforming both the broader market and Bitcoin itself.

Bitcoin is currently trading at $62,255.65, up 2% in the past week. The BTC market fell prey to volatility ahead of this past weekend, but the asset has gained slightly since the start of the week. Analysts are predicting what price point could be the level that separates current prices from a boom. It’s suggested that $63,000 could be the next support level, which means higher highs incoming for the king coin. Bitcoin recently surged during the weekly open, creating two major long liquidation levels due to high leverage. These levels aligned perfectly with last week’s equilibrium (pwEQ). Bitcoin faced resistance as the bid-ask ratio tilted heavily toward the ask side. This led to a retracement, bringing BTC back to critical levels. However, this made the liquidation points and pwEQ key areas for potential price bounces. The bid-ask ratio is now showing a shift toward demand, with more bids appearing within 2% of the current price. This data reveals that entry levels around $62K ...
