Altcoin Season Index Plunges to 14 while Bitcoin Rebounds from Key Support

The crypto market is showing a growing divergence between Bitcoin and the broader altcoin complex. The Altcoin Season Index has fallen to 14, marking its lowest reading in the past three months and underscoring a clear rotation back into Bitcoin.

Such low readings typically reflect defensive positioning, with capital favoring relative stability over higher-risk altcoins. At the same time, Bitcoin has inched higher by roughly 3%, stabilizing after recent selling pressure.

At the same time, in a market where narrative and perception can move capital as decisively as price action, data-informed storytelling from firms like Outset PR is becoming an essential lever for projects seeking to maintain visibility and investor trust during expansion phases.

Bitcoin Holds Key Support, Eyes Near-Term Resistance

Bitcoin’s rebound has been supported by its ability to hold above the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $83,653, a zone that has acted as a critical support. The 14-day relative strength index stands at 36, remaining close to oversold territory.

This combination suggests that the recent bounce has likely been driven by short-term buying rather than a broader shift in sentiment.

On the upside, resistance remains dense. The 50% Fibonacci retracement near $87,640 and the 200-day simple moving average around $108,210 continue to cap bullish momentum.

Technical Signals Point to Cautious Optimism

While oversold conditions have triggered some dip buying, momentum indicators remain mixed. A bearish MACD crossover, with the MACD line at -1,958 below the signal line at -1,779, tempers expectations for a sustained rally.

For Bitcoin to confirm a stronger recovery, prices would need to close above $89,275, aligned with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement. Without such a move, rallies are likely to be viewed as corrective rather than trend-changing.

How Outset PR Leverages Data-Driven Approach in Crypto PR

Outset PR connects market events with meaningful storytelling through a data-driven methodology rarely seen in the crypto communications space. Founded by PR strategist Mike Ermolaev, the agency approaches each campaign like a hands-on workshop—building narratives that align with market momentum instead of relying on generic coverage or templated outreach.

Beyond just monitoring on-chain flows, Outset PR monitors the media trendlines and traffic distribution through the lens of its proprietary Outset Data Pulse intelligence to determine when a client’s message will achieve the highest lift. This analysis informs the choice of media outlets, the angle of each pitch, and the timing of publication.

A key part of the agency’s workflow comes from its proprietary Syndication Map, an internal analytics system that identifies which publications deliver the strongest downstream syndication across aggregators such as CoinMarketCap and Binance Square. Because of this approach, Outset PR campaigns frequently achieve visibility several times higher than their initial placements.

Outset PR ensures that each campaign is market-fit and tailored to deliver maximum relevance at the moment the audience is most receptive.

Outlook: Bitcoin Dominance Likely to Persist

With the Altcoin Season Index at depressed levels and technical resistance still overhead, Bitcoin dominance is likely to remain elevated in the near term. Altcoins may continue to lag unless Bitcoin establishes a clearer uptrend and risk appetite improves across the market.

For now, the market appears to favor cautious positioning, with Bitcoin’s rebound offering stabilization rather than a definitive signal of renewed bullish momentum.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

Let insiders trade – Blockworks

Let insiders trade – Blockworks

The post Let insiders trade – Blockworks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from The Breakdown newsletter. To read more editions, subscribe ​​“The most valuable commodity I know of is information.” — Gordon Gekko, Wall Street Ten months ago, FBI agents raided Shayne Coplan’s Manhattan apartment, ostensibly in search of evidence that the prediction market he founded, Polymarket, had illegally allowed US residents to place bets on the US election. Two weeks ago, the CFTC gave Polymarket the green light to allow those very same US residents to place bets on whatever they like. This is quite the turn of events — and it’s not just about elections or politics. With its US government seal of approval in hand, Polymarket is reportedly raising capital at a valuation of $9 billion — a reflection of the growing belief that prediction markets will be used for much more than betting on elections once every four years. Instead, proponents say prediction markets can provide a real service to the world by providing it with better information about nearly everything. I think they might, too — but only if insiders are free to participate. Yesterday, for example, Polymarket announced new betting markets on company earnings reports, with a promise that it would improve the information that investors have to work with.  Instead of waiting three months to find out how a company is faring, investors could simply watch the odds on Polymarket.  If the probability of an earnings beat is rising, for example, investors would know at a glance that things are going well. But that will only happen if enough of the people betting actually know how things are going. Relying on the wisdom of crowds to magically discern how a business is doing won’t add much incremental knowledge to the world; everyone’s guesses are unlikely to average out to the truth. If…
